self revalation seems to be a main factor with most drug usage.it makes you look deep inside sometimes.it reveals truths.you just got to be able to handle them.like the van halen song says i've been to the edge and there i stood and looked down...you know i lost a lot of friends there.i can relate.the older you get the more you can relate to in that area.
i have the impression from most my years that heroin is the most euphoric drug in usage.opiate use predates all other drugs.the monguls ate poppies b4 battles to sharpen their warrior like senses.most would agree that it probally dulled them.either way an opiated person could lose a limb and be so wacked that they would continue to fight.opium is legal in some countries.it is based in the teachings of some of the most prolific chinamen that ever prophised such as jung and confusis(sp).it is involved in buddisms history.
seems drugs were always around but brow beaters say their use is deplorable then and now.i say make your own choice but don't use them when you are mental weak or they will either kill you or ruin you.
people are afraid generally speaking to openly admit to drug use due to admonishing peers,but like many other things you have freedom of choice.as a drug user myself i never glorify their use to anyone.i have 3 kids.i hope they never use drugs but they will,at least i will be able to tell them from personal experience about the dangers and the correct usage(?).
i suggest you not be so open to chatting about the useage of controlled substances on a public forum.remember big brother is always watching and dibo too.....

They are legal where I live, so it's not a thing to worry about.

Where do you live again, somewhere in England? Damn America I hate it here.

Yeah I reside in sunny ole' England. Laws might be a changing over here though.

Yeah. =\ That's what I don't like about it, the whole fsck-up factor. Pro'lly why I won't do it, ever, because that what scares me. Bleh, I get sugarhigh enough, that's good for me. > The rest just fills itself in. xD

I wouldnt do them now, but I used to love mushrooms. I've never laughed so hard on anything compared to shrooms. I'd rather pop than drop. Acid just wasnt as fun.

if abused they can be worthless.my ancestors smoked a mixture of shrooms,datura plant and gypsom weed.the mixture called hallutionations but interpted correctly they help the populace avoid many a catastrophe.
they all used at sometime or another but only the medicine man,the shaman tripped regularly.
the shaman if favored by the people could have more power than a cheif.he considered it his duty to achieve visions on a constant basis.so as to help his people.
one such medicine man was so highly regarded that his people listen to him not the cheif and in the end he led his people to war against their oppressor.the man was geroimo.......
he had a vision that he died from sickness instead of a bullet so he was fearless in war.
after the indian wars he was arrested by the government and jailed in texas i believe and died on a march to florida while being transfered.
peyote is also an indian choice for visions.from the peyote comes organic acid called mescaline.
there is and always will be the arguement that without the strycnine the buzz would be better but stryc actually heightens the buzz.
their is a warrior right of passage when he goes off alone for an undetermined amout of time to persue his visions so that he knows his course in life.munching peyote buttons near the campfire included.
higher knowledge is experience it seems but if you don't learn from them they are a waste.

Well said PC, you ever read the Carlos Casteneda books?

I just read an interesting article about "Magic Mushrooms" being legal in the U-K presently! The Government is tryiny to pass laws taht would outlaw them but, presently they are legal!

DRUGS ARE BAD----Smoke Pot

The town has mushroomed ... to go to pot! LOL!

Here's something pretty ironic. When I was at Art School in the late 70's we used to have to get up before dawn in order to go and pick mushrooms in the only place in Canterbury where they grew - inside the grounds of the university!!

Quoted from BlueMeanie

[...] inside the grounds of the university!!

Whereelse better?    ... taking care of them, uh?

how did you do the shrooms?????i used to make me into tea...sometimes we dried them and smoked them..i ate plenty raw but the stricnyne always messed with my belly...b4 we picked we used to flick the top to drop more spores then pick them...my faves we the bullets..b4 they opened ya know....tripping is quite a different experience from being high or drunk...
