damn good reason...i totally agree with that statement....i havent the need for drugs...only kind i have ever used is stuff i need for say panic atks or depresssion and the like...previously used...hopefully never again :)

My job of choice.

My value of lucidity. Even when I drink I find myself stopping when I feel I start to lose inhibitions or control of my thoughts. I just don't like the feeling of not being in control of my body. I'm not a control freak in any other aspect, in fact I'm quite indifferent, except when it comes to my own mind I guess.

my girl, my life, my family

Yes. It's really possible to be witty and entertaining even when not high. Please believe it.

1) Exercise/Fitness - nothing tastes as good as being in shape!
2) Working in a satisfying job
3) My next vacation in the Carribean 8-) - looking forward to something other than getting hammered/stoned, etc.

1. My younger brother and my younger sister.

2. My family - a few are alcoholics and I've seen what it has done to their lives and how sad it makes me for them.

the piano.
when i play i go empty. emptiness is a highly pitched type of concentration in this case.

workload.
i have to read alot of stuff. i can remember most of what i read in detail, but i have to keep my head clear to do it.

that said, i smoke on occaision.
and i really dislike this "anti-drug" thing.
stupid adevrts, stupid slogan.

Alcohol and channel surfing...

There is no more effective drug than watching several pointless shows at once...

No shit. Read my post.

Everything seems much funnier when high though, thus you have a better time.

I never really had the desire to try 'em in the first place. :thumbsup:
But if I need an anti-drugs reason, it would be my parents. It will break my mom's heart if she know I do drugs. My dad, well, he would literally fucking kill me. I don't want to disapoint them. They didn't spend 20 years raising no foo', and they didn't.

My wife and I have talked about this many times. She was the good girl who tried pot once and hated it. I was the opposite. I tried everything and loved it. I really liked LSD and shrooms. Drugs worked out great for me through high school while I was living at home and had everything paid for. I had no responsibility and my parents really weren't involved with me. I did lots of stuff including dealing at some raves, all the way up to my first year in Community College.

It was at my first class that I realized that I had to do some thing to support myself that wasn't going to land me jail. I went from a 2.1 gpa in high school to a 4.0 in college. My mother still comments on how I scare her because I went from one extreme to the other.

My job and life is my anti-drug. There is just too much that I have to and want to do to take the time to do drugs. I had a good time while I was doing it and don't regret it at all, but that period of my life is over. On to new things. I think shrooms are about the only drug I would ever try again if I had the time to spare.

Booze.


I get what I need from vodka and beer and rum and wine and all of that six times over again.

Hopefully not at the same time. ;)

Look, I didn't mean to sound like I was attacking you. However, what you've written above is hardly The Truth, it's your subjective opinion. Not everyone agrees with it. In fact, several people who have actually tried different drugs know for a fact that, for themselves, drugs != a good time. If other peoples don't share your opinion, just recognize that they aren't wrong, and they don't (necessarily) think you're wrong either. In closing, some people do not find things funnier when inebriated.

And also, if everything was so much funnier while you were high, why did you stop smoking?

Sorry, I guess I read into your post too much.

I can have a great time while sober, and definitely don't need drugs or alcohol to have any fun at all. However, situations that aren't innately fun (ie being bored alone in your room) can be made fun if you get high. Of course, if you just don't like being high at all, then you won't enjoy it more. But I have never met anyone who didn't enjoy weed. I guess what I'm saying is that getting high can make some experiences much more enjoyable. Conversely, there are some things that would be a lot less fun doing while high, like... well actually I can't think of any right now, but I'm sure there are some.

Anyways, I've never met someone who didn't like weed, so I guess it never occurred to me that people just plain might not like weed.

And I quit smoking when I decided on which college to attend, and what my major was going to be. We get drug tested for flight school, so obviously I had to quit. Plus I was tired of spending so much money on weed. And I also just wanted to clean up my lifestyle. Towards the end of high school I was just getting bogged down in shit so I finally just quit everything.
