    What are the 5 drugs you dislike most

    Yeah, all it did was turn me into a vegetable. I slept 14 hours a day while my parents were panicking, not knowing what was going on. That whole period of my life is a hazy, murky cloud. It took a long time to recover. As for amphet.. I find them highly meditative and focusing. But I guess...

    Tobacco

    haha.. nice replies here :D it isn't healthy. and i'm addicted. if i could keep it occasional like once a week, it wouldn't be a concern but much like psychoid, my attempts to do that have always failed. also after a period of smoking everyday, nicotine does cloud up my head somehow. i...

    What are the 5 drugs you dislike most

    ok my least favorite (doesn't mean i dislike, just at the bottom of my list) like Caduceus there are a couple drugs I'm just not going to try, those would be heroin and meth. just not going to. the last 3 then.. tobacco. ok i like it, but i just can't keep it occasional. if you can keep it...

    Tobacco

    Understandable, this was my worry at one point as well. The thing is, weed isn't physically addictive. I've smoked the herb everyday before and stopped cold turkey and been just fine. Of course I missed it, but it was nothing at al like cigarettes--I tried that with cigarettes and by day 6 I...

    So I'm going to try to quit today. Again. As of now. Just finished my last pack this afternoon. I like it, but I am also addicted, and want to be free of it. Wonder how long I'll last this time! :D (The most I've made it before is about a week. They say it is supposed to get easier after...

    Smoking weed and gaming

    For sure, I very much agree! Playing games can't be all you do, that would be a very poor mental diet. I know a fair amount of people though for whom video games got them interested in making their own music and drawing and creating. Myself included. But I also had good parents who rationed...

    Smoking weed and gaming

    Looking, engaging in one doesn't mean you can't engage in both.. Why? Because it is fun and pleasurable to create, and share what you have created. In this aspect, it's no different in my mind than any other creative medium that people share, books, movies, music, etc. I have a lot of...

    the music while you endulge

    Being honest with yourself and making changes needed to make your life happier, so you can reach your full personal potential is something everyone needs to do. And the society of which we speak is just a process (neither inherently good nor bad), so it isn't going to help you get there.

    Exactly.. you can share information and insights with people, but they have to be willing, wanting to evaluate their lives and make changes--they have to already be seeking.

    Salvia to be on Dr. Phil in November

    Whatever. He can't respond to anyone's arguments point by point. He's clearly just an internet troll. Maybe he's even trolling for Dr. Phil! :P He'd make a fine recruit for the gestapo as well I see, judging by how he seems to get off on spying on his neighbors!

    Do you think kids should be thrown in jail for possession of Salvia? Because that's what criminalization is, and that's what you are are arguing for. How is that "helping the kids"? Are you aware that Salvia has anti-depressant properties and medicinal values that researchers are only just...
