Interesting months

[WildFire]

My first 3 years of high school were nothing.

All of a sudden, my senior year, it's like my eyes opened and I'm seeing things that I should've noticed awhile ago about my school and about some of my friends. You can probably guess what I'm talking about...


Drugs.


One of my friends I learned is a dealer and uses it himself, another one of my friends (who I'll talk about later) is apparently trying extacy.

Just two weeks ago, I was going home with a friend of mine and he decided to give a ride home to one of his co-workers as well. They started talking about drugs and what not and I was just sittin their listening with some curiousness when the kid asked me if I ever drank or smoked. I said no and he asked if I ever wanted to, he could fix me up real easy. I said no thanks. And you know what he said?

"That's cool man, living life like a straight arrow. I wish I could stop now but it's just too damn hard and I like it too much."

Made me proud because I realized later that night that I said no to drugs and during the past week, I've said no twice.

Now tonight...

Tonight I'm going to a bowling lock in (for about 2-3 hours) with a bunch of co-workers and apparently one or two of the girls is going to be on extacy (one I talked about). I'm just hoping one of my other friends won't be persuaded by her or pressured to do some cause if her parents found out... bad.

Well, just had to say something, not much of a point really. Hopefully I'll be able to say no myself tonight, though I'm pretty sure I will

What kind of drugs are we talking about here ?

 

[WildFire]

Extacy, pot and marijuana I believe.

 

[blindside]

Is this just marijuana? It really isn't addictive and is quite common.

 

[Stapel]

Extacy, pot and marijuana I believe.

Done it all. Not addictive.

 

[Perfection]

Once while eating a slice of pizza I accidently sniffed some ground parmesan cheese up my nose.

I've been addicted ever since.

Don't do drugs, children, don't do drugs.

So many people take pills and smoke weed these days......

Pills I won't touch, weed though yeh. The occasional smoke isn't gonna get you addicted, it can lead to very intresting conversation with people as well. Woulnd't do it by myself though, has to be with other people. Also with weed you can control your intake alot more, it's like alchohol in the sense that you have it in bits so if you start feeling alittle bit weird you can stop and should be ok. Whereas with other drugs you kinda take a load in one go.

When I see people on pills though.....urgh wouln't want to do that! They say they have fun then chew the side of their mouth off! Geeting drugged up like that is so very unappealing.

I noticed more and more as I have got older that everyone I know seems to do drugs, don't let 'em pressure you, only do what you feel comftable with but don't discriminate against people for doing something you don't, it's persanol choice, though I do understand that if you are sober then maybe haning aroung with a bunch of high people ain't gonna be to great.

Drugs and alcohol are usually substitutes for something else. Figure out what's missing from your life and go find the real thing. It's much more satisfying and usually less expensive.

 

[Rhymes]

Good for you if you can stay out of drugs. But personally, I'm glad that I went through my drug phase. I had some pretty good time but I never got to much addicted and I managed to quit when it was time, but I cant say the same about some of my friends.... And I wish some of them would never have started it.

Alcohol is really good though, if you can drink more or less responsibly.

 

[Fifty]

I'm glad to have tried various drugs, because I wouldn't want to have died without knowing what it is like, but they are really over-rated.

 

[ShiplordAtvar]

Stay sober. That way, you can remember what goes on and then make fun of all the drunks and stoners.

That way, you can also be a designated driver (though this presumably wouldn't be needed at a lockin).

 

[Civrules]

It's good you said no though.
And hopefully you'll stay like that.

A lot of people in my school smoke too, ironically there are no other huge problems in it (no fights that often, etc.)

It's getting pretty easy to spot who's doing it and who's not.

 

[Damnyankee]

Why don't they ban alcohol and legalize Pot, i mean, alcohol is a lot worse

 

[Ohwell]

Have you ever come home from a hard day at work and thought to yourself, 'man, I need some ****ing pot'? No, you want a nice cold beer, or some vodka or something. Marijuana is for wimps, and it doesnt even make me feel good.

People that use drugs like ecstacy, pcp and lsd are subhuman and should be locked in mental health institutions until they're senile, so then nobody will notice that they are ******** from doing the drugs.

I first started to take marijuana when I came over to Australia to study. Stopped because it was too expensive n learning that it is fat soluble, means u can be tested for it months after last taking it and I will be tested for it in about 4 months. Btw it is semi-legal here and I can't say it is really addictive.

I find young people in general have a problem with ecstasy and other party drugs though, every time im in at a party someone will ask if I have some.

 

[WildFire]

I had a great time =D

Best time I've had in a few years in fact

Im glad that you were able to say no to those things. Ive seen what they can do to people... and it isnt pleasant. I myself will never take drugs in my live, even if it was to save it.

 

[polymath]

Done it all. Not addictive.

Yup. Same here. Agree.

 

[Jawz II]

dude when you say "drugs" i thought heroin

pot isnt drugs, its... pot

once i said no to heroin to this guy (45 years or so, and maybe 50 kg) who was supposed to be my friend, he grabbed me by the back of the neck jokingly, so i grabbed him jokingly and gave him a kick in the ass

another time this guy maybe 28 years told me to do amphetamine with him, i said no and he got all cocky and in my face, which tells you a bit about how bad drugs are, the guy was maybe 1,5 m tall and about 1/3 of my bodyweight

see? drugs make you do stoopid things

 

[WildFire]

Plus I got a 245 game ;D
