Worst state you've been in due to substance abuse

[Sheebo]

Some cracking stories to read here. Shame some turned it into a moral debate which really wasn't the point of his thread.

Never done anything hard myself but during my weed days 10 yrs + ago I remember once rents were away. A few of us went out in a car and a mate decided to egg this house. I was ridiculously paranoid someone had jumped in their car & followed us - quite scary how paranoid I'd got that night!

I was reading very recently about a sexually abused girl who ran away and got into drugs. She only has herself to blame for taking drugs to blot out her memory and ease the pain? Is this what you're saying?

For a someone with experience in this field you certainly seem to miss the point.

Sterns....only went the once, but what an experience.

Hard as f**k in the bottom room, think Lenny Dee was playing, felt like walking down onto the airplane runway, was so loud, so booming, so flipping amazing

There is a sterns documentary coming out soon apparently. Or is it already out?

Wot no E? No cannabis? Get back on that bike!

Es and weed.

Ecstasy...nothing new from me on that front. Saw a documentary once about chronic depressives going to Canada to be given pure MDMA therapy. That's what the molecule should be used for IMO. I spent several years partying hard with it. Brilliant gear.
Cannabis. I went to a Masonic dinner with my dad after a couple of uber skunk spliffs. I was a junior master which meant greeting all of the lodge officers and their wives and getting them a drink. I was so off my tits that I must have come across like a total tit, dribbling and muttering and laughing hysterically. Not pretty.

There's a photo of me sitting on a table with all the Sussex dignitaries in black ties...my face is totally mongo, stoned eyes and sloppy grin. Not my finest hour.
on the DMT front...I went to this mad thing in Aldingbourne where we all took Ayahuasca and went in search of our totem animals...it remains with me as one of the most intense and eye opening nights of my life. We had full on group telepathy and were involved in this insane ride where I realised that life, all life is constantly rushing forward into the future like a massive express train with us all sitting on the front of this incredible roller coaster with all of history behind us..we are god experiencing himself subjectively. Also understood that spirit resides in all things but particularly around water sources which have their own guardians as do trees and animals.

I could go on.

So taking drugs and giving in to the fact your kids will take drugs is normal. Glad my dad wasn't like you.

How can you not give in to a 'fact'? It's a fact, you have no choice about giving in to it. The only choice you have is how to deal with it.

 

[BadFish]

I must have missed the bit where gambling was illegal.

Do you only use the legal system for your moral compass?

crumbs lets hope thats not the way things work

my moral compass would be in the bermuda triangle if that was the case.

It's not a fact. It is a possibility/probability. If it were a fact, that would mean that 100% of kids will take drugs! and that simply isn't the case.

There's blatantly going to be sniffer dogs at the Amex tomorrow.

It is normal for kids to take drugs. This is the fact that uncle c stated and the one I was referring too. Of course not all kids take drugs.

This has somehow been off my radar, definitely on the to do list now.

I've recently started reading about buddhism and their ideas about consciousness and reality are really interesting. Whenever see anything about the soul being transient or the ability to separate our consciousness from our body it always makes me think of my time on mind benders. I used to think that it was just all inside the head but there's so much evidence to suggest that it really isn't. Western science is starting to catch up with these ideas that have been around for thousands of years, there's definitely more to life than we understand.

Anyone interested in this stuff should also look into lucid dreaming. It's also something that has come onto my radar recently and I've managed to do it once very briefly - the rush is absolutely immense! It takes some effort to learn though and I kind of stopped trying because I was busy with other things. Once the clocks go back I'm going to have another proper crack at it.

Why do you think Uncle C has kept this at the top of the Board ? You've been stitched up like a kipper

I was asking a question. There wasn't any point for me to miss. I'm not totally sure I understand your reply. Was it meant for me?

You can get Ayahuasca on tinternet but, word of caution, try and do it with a benign group rather than alone. I think solitary tripping would lead to problems.

I don't see DMT as tripping really. More like a profound insight into how things really are. We are spirits surrounded by multiple dimensions. Sure there are physical laws which govern our material lives but they are illusory.

No it wasn't sorry. It was meant for the unsympathetic care worker

Ah. I see. My question was aimed at the same unsympathetic care worker.

Valid point. So your only gripe with drugs are that they are illegal??

Clearly I can't quote properly, i was using one of those new fangled ipad things
