You certainly know a lot about narcotics, Majic. Are you going to college/university for drug rehabilitation, or something in that type of field? You'd probably be quite good at it. I also agree with most of the things you say.

Actually, that's
exactly what I'm doing. I took a dedicated interest in the matter back when I was an English major, mainly after I began to detest the mass adulteration of ecstasy (which so many young folks take these days). I've spent two semesters so far doing Rehabilitation Studies/Substance Abuse & Addictions under a pretty awesome aged hippie drugs & criminology expert. I didn't care much about taking the general rehabilitation classes when I changed my major, but they've been pretty enjoyable thus far. They pretty much involve learning everything that can go whack physically or mentally with the human body, and how to respond to it in a non-clinical matter. There's a little bit of biomedical, little bit of psychiatry, little bit of neuroscience, and so on and so forth.
Since I'm in the mood for shits and giggles, Ima have some fun for a minute...
Drugs I have taken, in a (mostly) recreational and/or clinically therapeutic manner:
- Nicotine
- Alcohol
- Cannabis
- Psilocybin
- LSD
- MDMA
- MDA
- DMT
- Cocaine
- Modafinal
- Methylone
- Mephedrone
- Caffeine
- Salvia
- Ketamine
- Nitrous Oxide
- MCPP
- TFMPP
- 2C-I
- 2C-E
- DOXX (meaning, it was a DO compound, just not sure which)
- Amphetamine/dextroamphetamine
- Methamphetamine
- Methylphenidate/dextromethylphenidate
- Suboxone (buprenorephine + naloxone)
- Alprozalam
- Clonazepam
- Diazepam
- Chlorazepate
- Lorazepam
- Triazolam
- Dextromethorphan
- Diphenhydramine
- Promethazine
- Hydrozyzine
- Pregabalin
- Cyclobenzaprine
- Tizanidine
- Trazadone
- Metaxalone
- Eszopiclone
- Zolpidiem
- Butalbital
- Opium
- Tramadol
- Codeine
- Hydrocodone
- Morphine
- Oxycodone
- Diamorphine
- Hydromorphone
- Bupropion
- Venlafaxine
A portion of those are pharmaceuticals of the same class (ie benzos, opiates), which I have a fascination with determining the differences between. General stigma tends to associate the pharmas as safer, more reasonable, more dignified, etc... because they don't come from a "dealer" and they're not "illegal," and you always get to eat them. In reality, pharmacies are essentially just well-stocked, well-regulated dealers. Legality is fairly arbitrary,
and determined by the same people we hate for fucking up almost every other aspect of life. The edible aspect is a double-edged sword; it minimizes the ritual (and thus lacks the additional excitation) of needles or straws/bills, but with that also gives the false illusion of doing a less intense drug.
And of course, even if someone doesn't "do" drugs, they still manipulate their mind in similar ways. All a foreign substance does is mimic or initiate a change in natural brain chemicals, and our behavioral reactions determine what good or bad comes of it. Someone might *feel* changed after coming down from a particularly potent high, but actual change stems from continued, consistent and common use over a period of time, with the parameters depending on the substance.

I'd prefer to stick to natural shit than anything. Stuff like cocaine and lab shit just seems to scary to try.

Coincidentally, cocaine is somewhat natural. It's only a semi-synthetic.

People always make LSD seem like the worst thing ever, like it will destroy your life if you take even a tiny amount. I've wanted to try it because it sounds like a good time, yet I can get rid of all the negativity put into me from all the years of being told how bad it is for you, and how easy it is to get addicted. I think that's all bullshit, but I don't know.

I'll give you my take on acid at some point when I have a few more minutes to spare. Long story short though, it's a good'un.
