Thread: Drugs?

straight edge usually includes coffee, no?

and tommo - I was of the impression you've done more psychedelics??

What I have always described straight edge like is: no smoking, no drinking-of alcohol of course- and no drugs. Sometimes no one night stands are included aswell, but I don't have to include that since I'm not a good romantic ^^.

Just lol
Caffeine is a drug. And one of the most harmful ones we know of at that.
Unless you drink decaf coffee?

Dajo - Nope. I'm just really interested in them. Not sure whether my mind could cope with them at this stage though. Wouldn't wanna risk it when I can enjoy them later on when I'm more stable lol

caffeine is addictive and as I understand it addictive substances are a no no concerning straight edge

good attitude, tommo

No I don't drink decaf, I drink coffee just not to feel tired. I'm recovering from toxoplasmosis.
Together with meditation it keeps me going through the day.



Also I think it's only moderate as an addictive substance. -See graph-
I didn't know, though, that it was considered a drug, and I should rely more on meditation from now on.

That medal more likely belongs to nicotine.

Decaf still has a fair dose of caffeine.

K, now that I'm done being a little smartass, I'll get on to the point of my post. I enjoy the occasional drink or two (or three or four) and the occasional toke as well. I've only done 2 drugs aside from that; 1 was nitrous, which was fun, and 1 was psilocybin, which was HOLYSHITDUDE

i went through a very self-destructive phase in high school, which consisted of but was not limited to: weed, alcohol, shrooms, acid, DXM, too many pharmaceuticals to claim, 2ci, Mephedrone, opium one time, and more weed. tobacco doesn't count. neither does caffeine.

Marijuana and alchohol. Only at social gatherings. They can be a lot of fun but I only have fun with those things enjoying the experience with other people. I can't imagine just doing that stuff alone.

That doesn't take in to account the physical harm. It only has LD50 and addictive potential.
Addictive doesn't really mean harm. Caffeine is getting more attention recently, mainly for mental harm.
Such as anxiety and schizophrenia.

It's probably only one of the most dangerous though because it is so accepted and thus underestimated.
Of course if one doesn't abuse it, one would probably not suffer many detrimental effects such as stress and heart problems.

I'm glad you listened though, most people call me a fool for saying this. Even though the science backs it up.

Hope you get better from that toxoplasmosis too. Afaik it's a pretty bad parasite if your immune system is weakened. You're lucky.

Your username suggests differently.

Unless you're being sarcastic/joking.

Or he just doesn't want to say something self-incriminating, like half of the people not posting in this thread.

So far, I've attempted to get high off of morning glory seeds twice and smoked salvia once. Only had a bit of alcohol on a few occasions.

haha, agreed

I try to stay as far as away from drugs as possible, that is I don't ever take tylenol/advil/generic drugstore pill. Don't ever drink anything with caffeine in it, such as coffee/soda/energy drinks that everyone here at uni seems to be addicted to..

That said, my limits do not extend as far as alcohol and marijuana, and I enjoy both of them immensely.

Mm, I don't often drink any soda. I drink tea almost daily but apart from that, no drugs for me. ;D

It's ridiculous how much coffee/energy drinks people have at uni.

No wonder they're all turning to meth (ADD drugs) after they develop a tolerance to caffeine and it doesn't help them study anymore.

If they never had caffeine until they really needed it to study before an exam or something, it would work fantastically.

I got quite an open mind towards most drugs to be fair, im a regular pot-smoker and so are most of my friends, its a social thing anyway and always more fun when you can ramble on about deeper meanings of stuff that you'll later realise was total bullshit, me and a friend once thought we solved the argument between science and religion based on watching The 10 dimensions video on youtube...

- ive also done a few other drugs, alcohol being one, but if im honest im not a huge fan, tried a few pills, taken some MDMA, also had a few very vivid and awesome trips on shrooms!

- im not big on pills and MD etc but for a REALLY long night out, yeah i will on occasion.

When i got out of highschool i went kind of crazy. I would take shitloads of xanax and smoke weed and drink. Sometimes i would get vicodin but as far as pills go i was crazy for xanax. I abused the hell out of the drug, for a long time it was very difficult for me to stop. I would also use any psychedelics i could get ahold of. I would also drink caffeine and use all kinds of medicines and whatnot(yes these are drugs too)

At the beggining of this year i began meditating at least twice every day. Since then i stopped using alchohol, pills, all western medicines, and caffeine. It was sooo easy, i was really ecstatic to be able to quit using xanax so easily as i had terrible anxiety. These days, thanks to meditation, anxiety is non-existent to me. Anyway i still smoke cannabis every day and i use psychadelics whenever i can but no more than once a month.

Alcohol on occassion with vodka being my favorite alcohol and Jack and Coke being my favorite mixed drink. Then Screwdrivers.
Caffeine is my favorite drug and coffee is my flavored beverage of choice. Coffee drinks and -real- coffee, I love equally. Love it.
Nicotine... Well, I smoked for 2 years but I quit in January and haven't smoked since. Yay!

I'm resurrecting this thread because I smoke weed occasionally now.

DURGS bypassing caps-lock-block!
