Drugs

[stonerblue]

legalize the stuff, all of it. humans who want it can have it and those that dont, wont. the government gets some tax cash and idiot dealers are out of a job.

when the drug trade accounts for an estimate 1% of global trade, there is serious amounts of money in it. at the moment it is going to the wrong people for the wrong reasons.

it is said that the recent banking crisis was (allegedly) 'eased' by the liquidity of drug money being able to be moved quickly. so the drug barons helped stop the world from disappearing up its own arse? wonder how much power and influence they have acquired off the back of that?

Not forgetting that the illegal drugs trade in the UK is counted as part of the national GDP (around £6bn)

Hmmmm prohibition has always worked really really well. Educate people & let them make decisions for themselves

Think I have managed 40 years happily without drugs - got3 lovely kids so why start now.

Go on start now. Rack up a massive slug, sniff it the come on here and tell us your reaction. Only live once.




On a serious note, don't bother starting. As a 23 year old, I started going out on the piss when mcat was big, I was around 18 at the time. Never went a weekend without doing it, everybody was on it, no exaggeration there either. You'd struggle to find a person my age not wired off mcat. Couple of years later I started to do coke, but now I tend to keep off it. I don't get anywhere near the buzz I used to do off it, just makes me morbid in some cases. I'll be having a great night pissed up, then all of a sudden you'd think I need a line. Have a line, night ruined, don't speak to any twat for the rest of the night.

MDMA however, is the best drug out there. I'm well into my house music, and you will struggle the find a better moment seeing your best dj's while on mdma. It creates the best atmosphere for a night out, everyone in a nightclub/festival is on the same level, loving every single moment. If one drug should be legalised, it's this one. Pretty sure there was a study about two years ago where the found mdma is actually good for our brains. That's what I tell myself anyway when I do it once in every while.

so - to resurrect an old thread.

At the age of 25, I had my first experience with 'proper' drugs in November last year - night out with work mates and after about 7 years (18 onward) of politely declining anything offered to me , I decided to have a few lines of coke with said mates. I think at the time i was in a real sad state mentally in general life and something clicked to say now is the time try something new and feel something different.

Since November, there's been no time longer than 2 weeks that I've not used coke and I'm not sure what to think. Bearing in mind I'd only ever smoked weed a handful of times aged 18/19. Whilst it does add to a night out, some of the days after are pretty grim. I missed the Newcastle home game because I was at afters til 11am the following morning and knew I wouldn't make it to the ground (part timer i know).

Now I'm not sure what to think. I mean it feels great at the time and the idea is always enticing, but I'm also slightly worried of falling into a trap. I have quite an 'addictive personality' to use a cliche and I suffer with varying degrees of depression/mood swings - nothing suicidal or "too serious" but enough for me to notice changes in my behaviour.

So I know I'm kind of rambling and bluemoon might not be the best place to seek help (definitely isn't the best place I know) but wondered if anyone else had experiences of a similar nature and what their stories were.
I'll stop rambling now. haha

I used to take legal high capsules on a weekly basis, each Saturday. Felt like nights out weren't the same without being wired, and when I stopped I found I got drunk very easily. I felt like I was having a great time but in reality I was probably talking incessant bollocks to people who were too polite not to listen. Or they were wired themselves, who knows? I am against "draconian" governmental policies and understand that the Psychoactive Substances ban was a real pain for some people who were using things that actually helped them, but it was probably one of the best things that happened for me because I would have fucked my head up by now.
