[QUOTE=Consciousness;41615358]unfortunately there might not be much you could really do at all, people are idiots when it comes to drugs and they always assume it wont be them. You could try intervening at the risk of interpersonal relations, but you can't be coming from a hypocritical standpoint, as in, if you're still involved with drugs (even if you're not addicted) telling them to lay off drugs probably wont work at all. You could however give them tips for harm reduction and how to avoid addiction, or relate to them on it then try to bring them out of it...
I'm sorry to hear they're falling into addiction, but in a way it might be the only way they'll learn, try not to beat yourself up over what someone else is doing to themselves, if it comes to it, find new friends. You don't need the weight of their burden on your shoulders on top of what you've already been through[/QUOTE]
The person is a close friend so I've already made her aware of my opinion on the subject and how she should watch her use. I still use a drug recreationally once every month or so but I watch my drug use very closely, I'm okay with people using drugs responsibly but 2 week meth binges aren't responsible. I've already researched methamphetamine addiction and withdrawal so I can help her in the best way possible.
Thanks for the support man and I agree that it may be the only way she will learn. Addiction showed me who my real friends were, who would stand by me during my worst time, I WON'T abandon her for straying down the wrong path.

[QUOTE=polarbear.;41615357]all my friends who got addicted to opiates fucked me over at some point, so i either show little respect or beat the shit out of them and never talk to em again. Even then, it's pretty fucking sad. Robbing your friend that you have known since elementary school, the one bro you grew up smoking weed with, just to get your fix? Get the fuck out of here.
A lot of people tell me to move on, it's just a tiny amount of money. But if you take any amount of money from me, even a $20 bill, I will hold a grudge on you.
This one kid I know has stolen thousands of dollars in jewelry from his mom and cash from his dad's bank account, and blows it all on fentanyl patches.
I've done some retarded things to get drugs, but I'd never stoop that fucking low.[/QUOTE]
I made a lot of money mistakes as an addict too but I don't believe she's the type of person to steal from me, anyway, I don't have any money to steal.
since my dad retired hes started going to garage and estate sales and buying more crap for the house that is already full of crap. But today he bought for $15 a box full of old video games and consoles. In it was a fucking panasonic 3DO, with several still sealed games that can go for 30-40 bucks a pop, the console itself can easily go for $100+. Also there was a Sega console, the original i believe, with 3D adapter and glasses (lol) that can easily fetch 20-30 bucks. There were a few other games too for the sega but they were only about 4-10 bucks a game, the good thing though is that they are all in the boxes so it should sell well. The best part is, since he has no idea how to use ebay or anything i will be helping him with that and he'll split 50/50 profit with me.
[QUOTE=geogzm;41615504]this is one of those points in my life where i just want to get fucked up and forget about shit[/QUOTE]
At one of these points I smoke some dope and its really hard for me to give a shit while high.
Just smoke and play quake man

I wish I could smoke the pain away, but I just get stuck in my head looping on thoughts when i have those kinda days
[QUOTE=SuperNatural;41615146]Watching friends fall into addiction hurts me so much especially when they saw my addiction destroy me. I feel there isn't anything I can do to help.[/QUOTE]
I feel for you brother. I'm trying so hard to get out of my opiate pill habit right now, and I vow that once I get clean I'm gonna make it one of my missions in life to help others either get clean, or preferably not touch hard drugs at all.
My biggest dream, what I want to do most with my life, is make music. So I've vowed that I will share my stories with everyone, not every song is going to be serious because you need the whole spectrum, but I'm definitely going to be sure to warn kids and people in general from a place of experience.

i've seen a lot of your posts describing your addiction, and i just want to say that i truly believe that you can kick it once and for all.
i'm looking forward to the day where you're posting about how you used to have a pill habbit and about how you've beaten it.

Keep working at getting clean man I believe in you, it's a long and challenging battle, you're going to lose hope in it a lot but if you stick with it you'll start noticing the results and you'll see how much hope there is for yourself. When I became clean I wanted to become a substance abuse counsellor or something along those lines to help others but I discovered I'm not the man for the job. I still spread the message of safe and responsible drug use whenever I can and I think it's something a lot more people need to do but I fear those of us who haven't been addicts won't understand our message. I don't hear much music that tells people the negatives of drugs or warns them of the dangers normally it's music that promotes drug use so I applaud you for wanting to apply your message to your dream. I'm not sure if you will enjoy this song but it has a pretty great message about meth imo. [video=youtube;Vuv2mvfO_mg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vuv2mvfO_mg[/video]
Also I went to detox 452 days ago and have been clean for 139 days. :smile:
So the joke's kinda on Starpluck with this one. the week I was banned from facepunch, I essentially lost or didn't happen due to first time experimentation with Klonopin, and then I had the longest awesome-est night with this girl I literally met the day of. Life's getting better for once, I guess you just do what ever the fuck you want and never worry about the consequences lol No but seriously fuck recreational use of Klonopin, that's gotta be fr people who literally CANNOT stand life at all (not callin you out supernatural) but for me those things just make me a "don't give a fuck" drunk asshole, but it's like I'm in a dream where everything that happens is said or done is simply perceived as "normal" so I don't notice what I'm doing, then there's the whole having no perception of time or days on them, and then the end is probably the worst. I obviously took too many to consider responsible anyways, but these made me the most depressed I've ever been after taking a recreational drug, lke for two or three days I was just miserable, and weed was hardly helping. But yea, that's where I've been and been up to if anyone cares haha
[QUOTE=AppleJackson;41610050]Okay so I just axed you guys about recreational use of saffron, and after reading the little bit of information the internet has I decided there's not a lot that could go wrong and took 40 hairs (~100mg) about an hour ago. All the effects are mild but noticeable. Waves of warmth in my body (especially my face), sometimes very hot, a definite mood lift, some headspace, and just shifting around in my chair was lots of fun, let alone actually moving. I just redosed with another 60 hairs (~150mg, totaling 250 all night) and I'm going to take a shower and do some stuff and report back.[/QUOTE]
Interesting, never knew saffron had any psychoactive properties. Googled some after I read your post and while there isn't much info a lot of people are reporting some kind of high, so I just got 1g to try it out myself!
Bump for saffron

this is what seems to tempting to me, being able to really don't give two fucks about anything.
Whether a guy has a little o or a big o, he's good for a bit, if a woman has a little o, that can just make her more lustful. But....this originally had something profound to do with weed, something that might have changed the way people live their lives....but I am/was too high...so fuck it
I forget
So I hear that porn is blocked in the UK, is this true? Because that sounds fucking ridiculous...
Men, not as bad as when my engineer buds in college and I solved world hunger from an institutional standpoint..or something while we were smoking some kind of concentrate, and we were at the point of too high where all you want to do is get higher....so yeah

Guys guys. When you want to take a break from a bowl, don't tamp down the embers (and impede future combustion) try a light vacuum (if you have a good screen or such) it works wonders, but my risk assessment is a little choppy, I guess you don't want to under do it for fear of elevated CO levels...but I'm not sure:

Weed and thing that makes my brains bigger and faster makes my head feel weird. Never the twain....twain? In it two?
Biked home in the middle of the night as my high was wearing off and it was very pretty, biking on dirt roads through fields and forests with no street lights and only the moon to light my way. Then a tiresomely long downhill path.

But it's bad dude, you just have no filter and you'll say anything to anyone as well as do anything, and you won't even remember how half of what you gained and lost while on them because you barely remember shit, that's why you also keep redosing, cause you never once think you're fucked up because like I said how it makes it as if everything's ok, no matter what.
It's a stay at home rec drug, or as an anxyliolitic.

Slowmoooo
You're a great bud dude. But our debts to one another are mutual, and being an ass while asking to borrow a car is pushing it. I don't want to spend a day at your brother's place so you can go on your mandate. I like having a little base set up if I'm just going to spend an entire goddamn day just chill in. Not just be a random guest for a day.
