Re: OK does anyone here not do Drugs?

I discovered the music years before I tried anything. I booze on the weekends every once in a while. I get wonky once a year at most; the amount of time it takes me to recover is too long for my taste. I will admit though, sometimes if I see a dj that rocks it until 9am Saturday and I've been up because of work/ school since 6am Friday, I need a boost to make it through the night.

17-25 bang on the usual - beans, coke, weed with occasional mushrooms and v rarely LSD (never out of control though). However they say that when the bad times out weigh the good its time to stop and 3/4/5 day comedowns are pretty rubbish, so its all pretty much being phazed out these days. I think that really u know if u are doing to much or it is affecting u negatively and so thats when u need to sort it out. Have occasionally got a bit too friendly with one drug or another over a period of time but I have always realised what is happening and sorted it out. NO regrets though, have had a ridiculous amount of fun and have some great stories. Like that time at that club.. erm, whats it called again..? You know, when that geezer was playing.. err.. who was it? You know, It was when wothisname pulled that minger.. Or was that the other time..?

Never done anything apart from alcohol. I suppose only drinking to get drunk doesn't sound too good, but won't drink alone or without reason. I also feel a lot happier giving up caffeine, but it does make me go loopy if I have any nowadays.

Decided to toss this into the mix

Ectasy Rising with Peter Jennings : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yt6PHhOZ32g

Thank you!!! I've just had the time to watch it all and it was so good to see all the little bits and pieces that I've found over the years put together so well. Shame they didn't show Oprah making a fool of herself though

The major thing about the legals is that you know exactly what is in them and it's comparatively easy to find out how they affect you .

At one stage last year a New Zealand company started marketing these in Australia and our governments quietly banned them.

its getting the same in the uk, i,m kinda close with a guy that has a site that markets these products and he says that there is one manufacturer in the eu and they wont distribute them to the uk untill the legalities of them are 100% confirmed...i,ve tried these and the effects are 90% the same as mdma, imo they are god dam awsome but like a sensible guy i worry about how they are effecting my body, in NZ the law was changed to make BZP ( the main ingredient ) a safe substance, i still wonder
