Seen lots of high patients in the ER. Where drugs go, its just a matter of time until hepatitis, hiv and heart failure follow. NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF THIS.

And how many people do you see that came from a car crash? Motorised traffic has killed millions of people but nobody's going 'Cars Kill! Just say no'. Alcholol has ruined so many lives directly and indirectly, but i have yet to hear of a proposal to put it on the drug list. Smoking kills millions of people veryvery slowly, and i've never been able to understand what in god's name is the use of that. I don't see much difference in effect or addictiveness between alcohol and weed, yet every year thousands of people get prosecuted and sentenced to multi-year prisonsentences for possesion or dealing.
I don't get that. It seems that it's mostly based on either tradition or some type of usefulness that we agree upon.
I do agree that drugs are a dangerous business. Bad motivations, tendency to addiction, mental/emotional instability and ofcourse the 'strong and sober' arm of the law can make drugs the direct cause of you fucking up your life.
However, careful education, preperation, selection of dealer etc can greatly improve the safety and pleasure of your adventure.
I've taken xtc, shrooms, LSD, speed and i still smoke grass.
The xtc experiences have really opened me up to other people -and to myself aswell. I wouldn't say that it 'cured' me, but rather it showed me different ways of communicating and looking at myself and the world around me. If I had not made the effort to start practicing these things in real life, it would've been nothing but a nice dream to wake up from.
But I won't be taking any more. I have a tendency to get depressed and the stuff wreaked havoc on my serotonin levels. Researchers seem unsure as to how far the brain can restore this effect. Some say a couple of months, others say never.
The shrooms always made me a bit kranky and nervous. When I did manage to chill out it was pretty cool though- mad colors, and my eyes would sometimes focus on something small, like a puddle in the road and it would just expand into an entire cosmos- and then i'd flip out of it and wonder about the filthyness of that puddle
Don't think you'd have serious hallucinations though, don't expect to be seeing naked chicks running down the street towards you.
Unless you're prone to paranoia/schizophrenia and such, shrooms could be nice. Take half a dose, that should put you on the doorstep, just check out the scenery and think about it for a while. Have someone with you who has some experience with it, he/she'll know how to deal with bad trips.
Rule of thumb: make it clear to yourself that you're on the trip. You're not thinking rationally and basically whatever you're feeling will go away if you just let it go. Watch it as if it were television.
Speed is for suckers, IMO. Like drinking waaay too much coffee and it fucks up your body. Plus it's quite addictive. I've never tried coke because I fear I might like it too much.
Have a safe one!
