Positive drug stories

I ended up broke, but managed to save more, because I amazingly managed to keep my job through it all. I'm not homeless or dead, though at times I see it as pure luck that those weren't the results.

But I'll never accept that drugs won't eventually lead to bad places.

Yeah, sure... I smoked dope in college too.

Took me ten years to get over it. You really can't go into a job interview and say 'I majored in pinball' and expect a position.

When I saw the title, I thought of the time my company reported a positive to some guy's drug test, and he threatened to blow us up because we screwed up. Well, we were (and I'm sure they still are) a highly accurete automated system, and would ace their certifications every time.

But that's the only 'positive' drug story I have.

No. Only drug I've done is smoked pot(not alot), and every time I did I turned into a braindead moron. Not liking feeling like a female driver, I never really got into it.

Besides, I've heard many times from friends, "imagine if this kid was on drugs?"

Something else from the great genius that I quoted in the original post.

"You never see a positive news story on drugs, which is strange, because most of the times I've had on drugs were . . . well, pretty f*cking positive! I'd like to see a positive drug story on the news just once . . .

'Today a young man on acid realised that all matter is just energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves . . . here's Tom with the weather!' "

I've experimented and nothing bad ever happened. I don't like pot, for the same reason as Slappy - I feel stupid on it. I think cocaine is a waste of money. I like hallucigens, but it's been years and I likely will never take them again. Never tried anything else illegal.

I experimented as well...grew up in the inner city and went to college--amazingly college was less of a drug haven than the growing up was, so I was lucky to get out of that environment. I'm doing alot better than my parents did so, thats a big positive thing I think but, things couldve been alot better with a better parental base to begin with.

I tried most every available drug in college and found that I don't like being out of control of my faculties. That's not to say I won't occasionally take a drink or a puff… but I could never make a habit of drugs because I get aggravated if my brain won't function properly.

I once took part in an "intervention". We surrounded a drug addict by loved ones and told her we were there to help. We had hoped by showing her that all the people who cared about her could put aside their differences, and demonstrate that we were all in agreement that she needed help, that she'd see the light. ("Baker Act"-ing was not an option; as it had been done before and was met with a promise of suicide if it ever happened again.) Ah, the best laid plans… Said addict, responded irrationally, believed there was a conspiracy to hurt her, and vowed to end her miserable life once and for all. She responded like a surrounded wounded animal, struck out at those nearest and even tried to jump from a balcony several floors from the ground. Realizing that my peers and I were in way over our heads; I called an expert… And got the advice I least expected… She told me to arrange to get her some drugs and tell her that's where I was going! Not believing this was right, but knowing I wasn't qualified to decide on my own, I followed the advice verbatim. It took about 20 minutes to arrange and pick up the drugs from a friend of a friend. When I returned I learned that a metamorphosis had occurred almost immediately when I left to get the drugs. Calm had swept over the addict, now secure in the knowledge that she would get her drugs, and she was now sleeping like a baby. This is a story about a seemingly intermediate strength pill-popper. I can only imagine the horrors faced by those addicted to worse substances.
I guess you could say the drugs I went to pick up did some good, but overall, this is not a positive story. If I so desired, I could use drugs recreationally without fear of addiction… and I don't think it is the governments job to protect me from me. But, I suspect those of us who can use drugs without bad side-effects, are usually the ones who choose not to.
Small aside; I do know people who smoke pot like I smoke cigarettes. I find it laughable that society thinks they need to intervene.

Joe Walsh once said that it's hard to meditate on amphetamines...

I disagree!

It's easy to meditate on amphetamines. It's the ultimate thought focusser (is that a word?). screws up everything else in your life though.

I have lots of positive drug experiences - they have been fun and happy social events for the most part.

Mind you, I never used more than very casually - as most folk I know did/do.

Ditto.

Has anyone ever tried acid? I was always afraid I would be one of those idiots who thinks he can fly and ends up jumping out a window.

I have. I didn't get the urge to do anything more stupid than climb trees.

My first trip I climbed trees.

My last trip I fantasized about doing great violence to a neighbor. Decided that was close enough.

ooooh, yeah, glad I quit while the going was good.

I tried it once... I didn't do anything TOO dangerous or anything, but I did end up... um... doing something .. that I ya know.. wouldn't normally have done, and I was very embarrassed about later....

This thread makes me want to ask... cuz I'm curious... I know pot is pretty harmless and all that to most people.. but is anyone else allergic to it? The few times I've smoked, I ended up in the hospital.. I had seizures and my white blood cells started attacking my healthy ones... wierd eh? Just wanting to know if anyone has ever heard of anything similar.


I agree Wilso... tis my "drug of choice" but it can easily take over if you aren't careful. Most people talk about they don't do drugs because they dont' like feeling like they don't have control over themselves... speed is the exact opposite, used recreationally, of course.

soserene - a FEW TIMES? Once wasn't enough? I'm glad you figured it out! I have a bad reaction to it. It gives me a headache and makes me want to throw up. I love, however, sitting in a room full of pot smoke to steep for about 15 minutes.

Lol.. I haven't "indulged" since I was about 17... so, it took a couple times to figure out that that is actually what it was, and after that... the normal stubornness of youth trying to "say it isn't so"
