Straight edge (sometimes abbreviated sXe or signified XXX or X) is a subculture of hardcore punk whose adherents refrain from using alcohol, tobacco and other recreational drugs, in reaction to the excesses of punk subculture.[1][2] For some, this extends to refraining from engaging in promiscuous ***, following a vegetarian or vegan diet, and/or not using caffeine or prescription drugs.[1] The term straight edge was adopted from the 1981 song "Straight Edge" by the hardcore punk band Minor Threat.[3]

If you're not drinking coffee, what keeps you awake in the morning? I've tried going three days without caffeine, and crashed horribly. I wouldn't say I'm addicted, but screwed without it.

I just deal with feeling sleepy, and try to manage my sleep enough so that it's not too much of an issue. In general my body takes a while to kickstart in the morning, so ingesting things overall is just not something I like to do for a good few hours.

It's like retarded Dane Cook

except Dane Cook steals jokes and isn't really that funny. Nor is he Australian, so I don't really see a connection other than stand up

Hell no! All I do is smoke and work. I tell ppl all the time that criticize me about smoking to look in their medicine cabinet, about 90% of the legal drugs that they are prescribed or get over the counter has more negative side effects than weed does...btw weed has 0 negative health side effects, whatta surprise. People are just brainwashed by the media to think weed is actually a "schedule 1 narcotic" along with cocaine, dope, meth and all that other garbage

I have a slight interest in LSD, shrooms, and DMT, but I'll in all likelihood never do the formermost since I've heard of people who got irreparably messed up by it.

i would try shrooms first, get like a gram or two put them in tea to dissolve, then drink the tea. it will mostly be a body feeling and you'll have slight reality altering hallucinations to give you an idea..if you're wondering..

Vaping helps you get off cigarettes by weening you slowly off nicotine. So no but I applaud you for trying to quit smoking.
It's not drugs technically so you good fam.

I never smoked actually. I only dabbled on vape. I think I only had like 4 of them 2014-2015 lol

What the title asks. Do you consider yourself to be straight edge? No drugs, no alcohol, zero promiscuity? Or do you like to cut loose from time to time and have a little fun? Are you in the middle somewhere, and like to dabble in a few things? Discuss.

If you consider yourself straight edge, what would you say influenced/inspired you to make those life choices?

No, i eventually experimented light drugs, i consume alcohol, specially beer and vodka in parties, and i have an active sexual life, but i'm not promiscuous. It is never how the media portray. When i was younger i was more in that kind of life, i partied hardly, traveled a lot, dated a lot, etc... etc... now it got boring, but anyway, i'm not someone dumb, i can say i've met a lot of people on my life, had lived more wildely, intensely and have less prejudice and more experiences than a lot of people, that's it.

I'm behind you on the self-conscious thing. I get real emotional when I drink for some reason. People tell me I turn into Drake when around alcohol. XD

i think that depend on the person personality. Maybe you are not an "alcohol person". When i use marijuana i'm like that too. I almost never have a good trip, but with alcohol i get wilde. Also, that can be that unconsciously you feel guilty or bad for drinking.

That said, if you get depressed when high, obviously there's no reason for consuming alcohol.

Straight edge. I don't do drugs and alcohol. I tried alcohol once..It wasn't so different from taking one random leaf and putting in my mouth. It was extremely bitter. My idea of fun is mostly Video games, football, documentaries and some times tv series. Most guys think I'm weird and probably shouldn't exist in this age.

As for what influenced me, I'll probably say my childhood. At every stage of my education I've been told by mates that I'm quiet. So I assume I was born with a quiet/gentle nature and the fact that my parents shielded me from socialising (mostly due to safety reasons because of where we are) means I wasn't exposed to what molded every other person my age.
