What drug is your favorite?

Why is it so hard for some people to separate use from abuse?

But I do agree there are no health benefits stemming from either use or abuse, but it's still a big difference between the two.

Cocaine is great for curing a toothache. Coca tea is great for curing an upset stomach (works better than Alka-Selzter or bismuth, by far) and behaves similar to yerba mate as an afternoon pick-me-up. Acetaminophen makes opiates more dangerous than they actually are -- and they [opiates] react differently in the brain depending on if there is pain stimuli or not. The best delivery method for opiates is latex (opium) because you'll likely pass out before overdosing and killing yourself. The itch is what bothers me the most with opiates, which can be handled by chlorphenamine maleate (and as a bonus it can intensify the opioid reaction making it so you use less.)

Recreational use, cocaine is probably the only thing I'd consider in the long term. The high is so short that if it came down to it, you could be completely lucid without the clogged ears or tunnel vision in a matter of minutes. Everyone should have an LSD analogue (not actual LSD since most of you are probably unstable and it'd just draw out your anxieties more) once in their life in a nice calm environment too -- life is all about experiences and it certainly enables you to think differently. You'll want a sitter that isn't going to grill you with questions or be a buzzkill in general, and will just be there just in case.

That being said, I prefer to take Tramadol over Hydrocodone for the nerve damage in my heels, though I have refillable prescriptions for both. I hate having mind fog, and when it comes to most body highs associated with the favored drug here (cannabis) and MOST substances -- it feels like liver overload. I don't see a point in simulating half of the symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy for a recreational purpose; we're all going to die some day, and I don't think a preview showing is the smartest of ideas.

tl;dr

Long story short, you're breaking laws and blowing cash to exploit the chemistry of your brain in order to convince yourself that you're happy.

If that's not a problem, I don't know what is. Doesn't matter if you're addicted or not.

This is the thread where teenagers go to try to be cool and "adults" that never grew up go to try and prove that they are still hip.


Doing drugs is one thing, I'm fine with that... bragging about doing drugs is kind of laughable and sad.

I suppose you're also firmly against the use of modern medicine/medical facilities regardless of your ailments.

Truly, the use of such things is only to convince yourself you're not sick, not dying, not unhappy.

That is truly the lamest argument ever. Comparing treatment by a licensed physician for an illness to abusing illegal drugs...really? Taking legal medicine to get rid of a headache or a runny nose it vastly different than shooting up heroine so that you can feel high.

That is like a pedophile saying that you must be uptight if you don't agree with their having sex with children and that by having sex with your wife is just being hypocritical...lol.

Here it comes....wait.........wait...........PUH-LEES!!!

I assume you mean pain meds and prescribed pot. As to that, I would say it is wrong. A doctor most often times (if they care about their license) will only prescribe a limited amount of meds per incident, so as not to have the patient develop a habit. If they have a chronically ill patient or one who is constant pain, then the will obviously give refills. Those patients however are very few and more than likely not taking the meds to get high. They would be taking them to manage the pain. For those that buy legal drugs from others to get high on, well that is illegal. So at that point they become illegal drugs. they did not get a prescription for the drug therefore it is not legal for them to have them...hence illegal drug.

Yes, because the legality of the substance is truly indidcative of its usefulness.
