"Enhancers"

Mankman · 11-13-2005, 02:44 PM

How many of you eskimo friends have tried drugs, excluding alcohol and caffeine? Im interested because quite a lot of my friends do it, and i have tried it but was unimpressed. What are your opinions on it etc...

I smoke hash occasionally, takes the edge off and it's usually pretty enjoyable. I've done mushrooms a few times, always had an amazing experience on them but wouldn't do them more than once every 6 months as they take a lot out of you and doing them can be so good it's a shame to get into a situation where you can be blase about them.

Never do Salvia, it's **** and really horrible.

By the way...

Just say no kids.

think there's already a thread about this but i have the same opinions on drugs as i do with drink. i've never done any sort of drugs, and i don't intend to in the near future. i know too many people who do it very very infrequently and pretend they're big stoners. and i know too many people who do it often and think they're great because of it. i just don't like the whole culture drugs create, the way you're suddenly way cooler cos you get stoned every weekend than if you can actually string a sentence together. people these days (especially teenagers) have their judgemental priorities way out of whack - they think someone's cool if they drink and do drugs and smoke, they think someone's pathetic if they don't. i hate that.

Well said Livo.

There's nothing cool about "doing drugs", either you enjoy doing them on occasion or you don't and so long as you don't **** yourself up or hurt anyone because of them then who cares? I answered the question becasue it was asked, I'm neither proud nor ashamed by my habits, they are just what I do from time to time. I dislike people differenciating between a drug like alcohol and other less socially acceptable one.

i'm afraid to say you're very wrong. people seem to think there's something very cool about doing drugs. well, at least the people who can't accept other people for the way they are. ie, unlike the vast majority of teenagers, i don't go to discos and socre with and perform oral and in some cases full-on sex on strangers that i will probably never see again. i can accept that people do this, but they can't accept that i don't. i never criticised you for answering the question or doing drugs.

i don't care when people i don't know very well do drugs. however, when it's my close friends getting stoned every week (or pretending to get stoned every weekend as the case is with one of my friends) i do get concerned. because it gives them an enormous ego cos they think they're so mad for doing all this ****.

I dont quite get your last sentence. Whats wrong with differentiating the two? The less socially acceptable ones tend to be illegal, whereas alcohol and caffiene are not. Seems to me to be a perfect distinguishing difference between them? No?
