Re: What are you views about Drugs?

There are pro's and con's. I know a guy who did a lot and suffered a lot. I know a guy who did a little and seemed to benefit. I know a guy who didn't do any and probably could use some .

couldnt have said it better myself, maybe because i have few brain cells left

Re: What are you views about Drugs?

For some reason I have simply never had the urge to try any kind of drug such as weed, ecstasy, cocaine, heroin, MDMA etc. I dunno why - I'm not scared to try it, but I really do think I never will. Maybe it's a fear of getting 'addicted', who knows. For me, going out to a major club is the 'high' for me - any time I went to Bedrock years ago I was always so excited just to be out of Luton and listening to a proper DJ that I have never needed to enhance that experience. As I get older the nights out are few and far between, but the thrill is still there when I do venture out.

Bizarrely, my close circle of friends are all the same as me - never tried it, dont seem to want to try it. That is strange in so far that we havent ever explicitly talked about it and why we don't do it - we just seem to be a group of people that dont do it.

Alcohol is enough for me, but even that is taken in moderation. I worked in a drug and alcohol addiction clinic and saw first hand how alcohol ruins lives.

Blimey, I sound like a boring b****ard

Re: What are you views about Drugs?

Never really got heavily into anything other than the reefer. Sure I've done a bit of other drugs, but never for an extended period of time, and never anything too serious. Only randomly during my rave til dawn days and now only the occasional night out with with close friends. Shhhh.... don't tell my wife.

I've seen 3 of my very close childhood friends die from overdosing on cocktails of drugs, and many others I wasn't so "close" to. I remember a few of them used to get crystal (glass) and hoard themselves in hotel rooms for days until they were literally hallucinating from of lack of sleep. Seriously, army men where outside in the trees spying on them. Other times, I witnessed them get so totally engulfed in coke, that they just weren't the same guys I knew. They would do anything, including fighting each other just to snort another line. Witnessing these behaviors first hand, I always knew I never wanted any sort of drug, whether it be prescription or recreational to control my being. I somehow kept my distance even though it was everywhere around me.

Now I enjoy good bourbon on the rocks and I'll hit the reefer from time to time, although my wife doesn't "allow" it in the house. So I keep it in the garage.

Re: What are you views about Drugs?

I spent from '89 through to about '94 off my fuckin' busicuit, however, I suddenly got bored of it all.

Don't get me wrong, I still did something most weekends, but things changed and I started to get into other things, like Sunday mornings and boring shit like that.

I do have a very addictive nature, but I also realise this and that helped me walk away from certain situations. Unlike some friends who thought they were totally in control and didn't say 'No'.
Watched them get more and more into their gear and eventually went to their funerals.

Drugs are fine if you are the sort of person who can use them to make the night better, but too many people use them to try and make their life better, and that is always going to end in tears.

I know what you mean..although I think when used very moderately they can be cathartic to ones life... I can't explain why but I honestly believe they can benefit ones life. That's probably not normal, I'm sure they wreck more lives than help.

I saw your post in preview and went in for a serious look ... but I must apologise for my immaturity !
