Or find a politician that likes rubbing his dick on shins and then blackmail him over it.

Manco 07-17-2012 11:32 AM

Invite him to a fun shindick.

So has anyone here ever battled with a serious addiction? Like, alcohol, hard drugs, anything like that. Those are the only addictions I find interesting.

STM 07-17-2012 01:11 PM

Talked to an ex- heroin/ cocaine/ crack/ weed addict today. Said it all started with cannabis. Put me off pot for good. Nasty story. Owes his brother £800,000 to repay for all the money he borrowed to fuel his addiction.

I know Majic's major has something to do with this, but he never posts.

drugs are bad mm'kay

Guy was a investment banker making a six figure salary, he said by the end he managed to spent ninety to one hundred percent of his earnings to fuel his addiction. Really felt sorry for the guy, the amount of shit he has to go through even now that he's clean. Apparently he once woke up in a flat in Brighton surrounded by Jamaican gangsters...crazy shit.

lol

lol indeed

But honestly, I do feel bad for that guy. To work hard and make money only to fuel an addiction sounds awful. That's why I like pot. I can smoke it and enjoy it by myself every so often, but I never feel dependent on it.

And don't give me any of that "stepping stone" bullshit. Pot doesn't make someone want to do harder drugs, it all depends on the person, their past and such that causes them to get into these hard drugs as an escape from reality.

Addiction and depression are both like daemonic possession: your original personality is consumed and replaced by that of the disease.

Mr.Spandexpants 07-18-2012 02:56 AM

The only addiction I have is a electronics addiction. Honest to god addiction I might add. Sometimes if I haven't used the computer in a while I start getting restless and angry. It really affects my social, work and family life. But really nothing too serious.

Actually even if you don't have an addictive personality it's a dangerous drug. It can fuck with your mind. He said he was at his worst when he was strictly on weed. Before he used weed to get to LSD which went onto cocaine, crack and eventually heroine. I'm trying to stay away from cannabis because I actually think it's making me paranoid, I toked my first doobie in a year on Saturday and ever since I've been feeling a bit paranoid. Not like I'm worried there's a man in the tree outside my window with a pair of binoculars (inb4joke) but I misconstrue what certain people are saying and how they are acting around me negatively, and I know it's probably not true but my brain still believes it. Actually I think I'm a bit paranoid around some people any way but weed seems to amplify it a little.

Ridg3 07-18-2012 08:43 AM

Weed only does those things if you are susceptible to being a crazy person. I'm alright from it and I know plenty of other people who are fine from it. Well, so I think anyway and no-one can tell me different because it doesn't affect me like that. Speaking of which I've decided to stop smoking it, because it is really fucking expensive and I've been getting consistently shit smoke from everyone.

Nepsotic 07-18-2012 09:11 AM

It;s like people who say videogames are bad for you. Some guy played Manhunt 2 and then went and killed someone, now they banned that game, they said it was a murder simulator, but did anyone else kill someone, after playing any game? The guy was already a mental case. If you want to go and kill someone, that's your problem, not the media's.
Same with drugs (I think), if weed doesn't satisfy you enough that it makes you want to do hard drugs, you've already got a problem, it's not because of the weed. My brother smokes weed and he's fine, I wouldn't say he's any different to what he used to be and he's been smoking it nearly 2 years.

Ah well, people are different.

How is it not also everyone elses problem? Y'know, baring in mind your killing lots of other people...kind of makes it their problem too.

Drugs make people kill people with manhunt. That is what we learnt from my post.

Varrok 07-18-2012 10:53 AM

It's only his problem.

Nepsotic 07-18-2012 12:33 PM

I meant it's because you're the one who's fucked up. if something influences someone to kill somebody, they were already fucked in the head before they saw that thing that influenced them to kill somebody.

Sekto Springs 07-18-2012 01:26 PM

I'm addicted to vagina.

STM 07-18-2012 03:33 PM

Is what you would say if you had had sex in the last two years.

<3

MeechMunchie 07-18-2012 03:57 PM

He thinks he's addicted because of the severe withdrawal.

Sekto Springs 07-18-2012 06:36 PM

You guys are jerks. :(

Mr. Bungle 07-18-2012 11:28 PM

Yeah. C'mon, guys. Sekto has a serious problem.

As compared to what you've been doing without vagina, am I right?

Yeah. Like being completely unappealing to women.

HEY-OOO

OANST 07-19-2012 07:21 AM

I've taught you all so well. I'm seriously getting misty eyed over here.

STM 07-19-2012 07:24 AM

Time to fly, old man, when we're done picking Sekto's remains we're coming for you!

No but seriously you're both good people.

lsd stands out from most drugs as there is no one who on earth who takes it regularly. except those esoteric maniacs, but not out of an addiction. it's more an experience thing.

Thanks, but I'm okay with the fact that I'm an awful awful person.
And it's the awful guys that get all the pussy. Dixanadu will confirm this.

Well, that's just paradoxical, an awful person on a really long dry spell? ^^

I don't think that can be true, I'm not a nice person and I haven't had sex for nigh on a year now, that being said the opportunity hasn't reared its head, point being, last time I got laid I was actually being quite considerate...

It's aaaaalllll karma.

Bullet Magnet 07-20-2012 11:07 AM

Last night I got shot in the face four times with an airsoft gun point blank, execution style. Closest thing to sex I've ever had.
