Mind altering substances: Yay or nay?

[Booker]

Of course, everyone should be allowed to consume or use whatever they'd like. I just thought I'd see what the general consensus was on the usage of state-of-mind altering drugs, such as alcohol, marijuana, LSD, etc. etc.

Personally, I don't see the appeal of lessening your ability to be coherent and function as you normally would. I'd rather experience my own feelings unhindered.

I agree with you but people here will explain to you why it is good to them Lol

No, I'm fine.

Acid, or lysergic acid diethylamide is a great substance. It's nothing like pot, or anything you'll ever experiance. The visuals will allow you to see colors you've never seen before, and it allows you to look at things in a new light. Try it if you ever get the chance. Make sure your comfortable with your surroundings before you do it though.

I feel that people can do as they want. If they want to use the substances, that's their choice, if they don't want to, that's fine as well. Each person should be able to decide on their own, and as long as people have it under control, I don't see too much harm in taking in some of the stuff you mentioned from time to time.

Out of curiosity, have you tried out any of the substances you listed yourself? Not trying to start an argument, or anything of the sort, I'm just curious.

I smoke, and drink.
But only because its conducive for having a good time.
It makes it easier to relax, especially if you've been having a bad day.
IMO as long as you arent doin hardcore shit, you should be alright.

LSD has too many negatives associated with it to be worth using for "new colors I've never seen".

My father was an alcoholic and a drug addict, and he was miserable before he went sober. So I'd rather not touch the stuff.

 

[BlacLord™]

Nay without a doubt.

No matter how you square it, they all have bad consequences - even with just one use.

 

[Joon]

Murder. Murder. Murder. That effects of this drugs cause consequences. You may have not had any experience but that 1 - 100 of a million did. Laws are use to prevent them. People saying they have a right to intake this drugs because the cause no harm is not looking at the big picture.

I've drank alcohol is small doses before. Never touched anything else.

I grew up in a small "redneck" town where these and other drugs were common place at bonfires, ride arounds, and other things. All my friends were idiots, and I pretty much attribute most of their behaviour and recklessness to their usage.

Well in my opinion, I don't think it's worth risking the seizures, strokes, heart failure, and mental illness down the road. But to each their own.

It is your consciousness, you should be free to do whatever you want with it. Though the bad connotation for those substances comes from irresponsible users that abuse them. For spiritual purposes, creative purposes, they can bring about great insight and ideas. However that is not to say that you are guaranteed a good experience if you do choose to use them. If there is something wrong with you psychologically, psychedelic experiences can amplify your symptoms. You really have to be in a good state of mind to mess with ANY of them.

 

[LED ZEPPELIN]

I have never done and never will do any drugs, from very light weed to lung cancer causing cigarettes, but your opinion on the matter doesn't mean the entire society should obey biased laws on drug control. Everyone does as they will, if you diagree, then don't do drugs, but don't make people who want to do drugs ''obey'' your opinions.

 

[xVPeinVx]

As long as you know what your taking and dose responsibly there's nothing wrong with tripping with you best friends, it's one of my greatest memories. Its diverting i would say to do at least once. It's quite the eye opening experience. It really opens your third eye. Just stay away from the coke and shitt man

Tell me what are the negatives you've heard about. Scientist are doing a study were they are giving terminally ill cancer patients LSD, to help them cope with their means to an end. 90% of patients have stated that they now feel much more comfortable about dyeing after their experience with it. A professor conducted a study asking college students to describe the importance of their experience after they were given LSD during a study in the 60's and the students described it as a life changing experience that's just as important as the more important things in their life, such as the birth of their first child, or the first death they've experienced, or graduation. The way it changes your thought process is something that is indescribable, unless you've tried it. LSD latches on to your serotonin receptors once ingested, and these receptors are the most important ones in your brain. Serotonin is the reason you dream, the reason you feel happiness, sadness etc... The visuals that come along with LSD are just a perk along with the many other things it has the possibility to do.
Scientists are now experimenting with other inactive analogues of LSD to help battle depression. They find it's better than the sh!tty anti-depressants the governments putting out now.

i dont need anything more than some alcohol once in a few months....but whenever i drink i sure enjoy it^^ so im not against that stuff, only against those which make u addicted and ruin your life. for most of them its a matter of how much/often it is consumed. i would never start smoking which i would do everyday, neither would i ever smoke weed every evening like many people i know. im always in control of what i do and imo thats what is most important. U_U those who claim they could stop, who yet never actually do it are talking bullshit
