Yeh it is, I'm sorry your head is so far up your hole you don't realise it but most people will agree with me. Mate
And born slippy, I don't respond to trolls so you're wasting your time.
ETA:I see no pic either rolly but I don't care either way tbh!
blimey, you had a sense of humour bypass?
:rolleyes:
A contradiction perhaps?
Me? Nah, never.
Was "what pretentious bollocks" a joke or something
I think you're getting yourself a bit muddled eh...
No, you definitely are getting yourself muddled...
You think I'm having a go at your high horse
Explain yourself better then.
Check the last page. All will become clear.
That's what i was replying to you - not your mutant horse.
Aaaah, OK.
I was thinking a bit more about this today. Taking can drugs can translate into "life experience" (although thats such a meaningless phrase as to be useless really), but it doesn't necessarily follow. Some of the most tedious arses I've ever met have been stoners or acidheads. Some of the most interesting people I've ever met have been alcoholics. And everything in between those 2 poles.
Having had a drug problem, been at rock bottom and recovered, usually makes for "life experience" as you will have seen the shitty side of life, done a lot of work on yourself and climbed back up. Taking drugs while also being culturally open and aware can make for "life experience" too. But to claim that drugs automatically = "life experience" (or creativity) is bollocks. How does an 18 year old student stoner wearing a "I like the Pope, the Pope smokes dope" t-shirt and a Bob Marley poster on his wall equate to "life experience"? Its usually quite the opposite ime.
Now you're talking some sense, although my experience of people with drink problems and those who take a lot of psychedelics is the reverse. But then you don't like weed, i don't like booze so it's all dependent on your own mindset.
No-one's saying that drugs automatically increase creativity, but you can't deny that it would certainly appears with some people to be case. You can say what i've said is "pretentious" but that's my genuine experience - as i'm sure it is turlough's.
Some people treat drugs as a bit of a giggle, an alternative to alcohol - nothing serious. I know people like that, but i also know others - including myself - who experience something altogether "higher" than that.
It's not neddy to take drugs, and its not immoral if that's your poison. If you enjoy drugs go for it.
It doesn't make you "know more about life" though. And to say that drugs help understand the world is quite ridiculous.
On this, I basically agree with Blagsta's position.
1983 was implying otherwise.
There are certain experiences that drugs can give you that cannot be gained any other way. I think that is obvious.
The empathy which MDMA can give you, the deep insight into yourself that DMT and LSD can give you etc.
No, but MDMA can strengthen relationships and generally leave people with a freshened social perspective.
But unless you have actual experience of extensive drug use, how would you know either way?
Yes, it can do. It can also create lots of false feelings and fake friendships too.
I've used drugs, legal and otherwise. Not always extensively, you're right.
You get the feeling of being off your tits, its no more meaningful than that. Is it now. It's very pleasurable and very entertaining, and you can feel you're being deep and meaningful, but its just being off your tits. There's nothing deep or meaningful to it.
Illegal drugs are no different to drugs such as alcohol, you can feel that you are being deep, that you're on top of the world, but all it is is a chemically altered state. Whoop de doo.
