i used to take worse drugs for it. i almost fell into a heroin addiction for my anxiety but my anxiety for dying cancelled it out when one of my dear friends killed himself in an overdose.
now i'm far more kind and thoughtful of my body.
wow that's low. really frightening. i can't imagine getting into something like that
i think a lot of people who know me would assume i'm fervently against drugs. i'm not though at all, quite the opposite infact. i've never had any interest in them myself though despite the fact a lot of my friends smoke weed occasionally and/or take coke/md when they go to clubs
i think my only real worry would be making a fool of myself hah

opiates are just too damn good.
i've done the exact same thing as you, pretty much.
i used to do a shitload of morphine to cope with my depression.

the worst part is that it works. it helped my anxiety and it helped my depression.
it makes you a bad person and it will turn you into a junkie but that's completely secondary in the head of a drug taker.
[QUOTE=BLOB Fish Dude;37039778]I hate my ex. If anyone remembers, I was saying a while ago that she broke up with me because I couldn't get hard the first time. Now its been some time since we talked with each other. I didn't really hate her for what she did at first, I wasn't what she wanted and I understand that. I did realize it takes two to tango for it to get up though and shes not what I wanted either, too quiet and awkward but I was blinded by what I thought was love so I kept dating her for that time. But now, shes been telling people about the whole not getting hard thing even though we agreed we wouldn't talk about it. And when I try to talk to her, she ignores me. This is fucking pathetic. She lied to me throughout our relationship and even though I treated her well, she does this shit. First real gf and I go through this, fuck.[/QUOTE]
Maybe if you could tell this story to her parents and make them talk to her.
Include all the details.
yeah, it actually works pretty damn well. it doesn't fix the problem, but while you're high it's completely unnoticeable.
now i just smoke pot and drink alcohol to help my social anxiety. i realize the alcohol is really unhealthy too, but it's one of my drugs of choice.
[editline]2nd August 2012[/editline]
i still do opiates occasionally though.
you're so nonchalant about it.
alcohol and caffeine are the only self-medications i'll ever take again. and in moderation.
at a certain age it just gets embarrassing.

i realize that, trust me. i don't plan on living forever, i'm sixteen years old and i have the typical teenage train of thought. i want to party, live life on the edge and have a fucking magical time. for me, drugs are a great experience and allows me to perceive the world in a whole different way.
i plan to try most drugs out there, with only a very few exceptions.
yeah i thought that too
it was a mistake

Holy shit, I thought your title "DD's 10 year old" meant Drug Discussions guy with 10 years experience haha, I had no idea you were 16.
Honestly, doing hardcore drugs at a young age are going to mentally fuck you over man, you should leave that shit until you're older. Brain is still developing at 16, and doesn't stop till you're 25.
[QUOTE=thisispain;37048861]yeah i thought that too

yeah, it might be. but i feel very strongly about living my life exactly as i want to, and if that means that i only live for another 35-45 years, then so be it.
i know this might sound incredible angsty, but it's how i feel.
You're not fucking yourself over now, you're fucking yourself over in the longrun. When you're in your late 30's, early 40's, things will start becoming apparent, things that are a cause of your early drug use :( don't end up like Ozzy Osbourne, it must suck to be in his body.

You can't have that mentality man. You're [I]16[/I]. In 35-45 years, you could be happily married with kids to live for. Right now you don't care about living till an old age cause you don't have much to live for in the sense that it's just you, but getting married and having kids will change it. Or not even just having kids, at 40 years old, you could be doing insanely awesome things that you don't want to give up on, like rock climbing or sailing. It might seem easy now doing stuff you know will shorten your lifespan, but as you get older, you'll wish you hadn't.

except it's not about how long your life is, it's about what happens while you're alive.
your personality changes but your past and the effect it had or has on you doesn't.

Note that I didn't mention your academic ability, because I don't believe drugs automatically turn you into a bum. At the end of the day, it's the person that matters. I know guys who smoke weed that would be lazy dumbasses even if they didn't smoke, it's the person, not the drug (in most cases). What I'm saying is you have a gung-ho mentality right now which isn't good. Your life changes drastically in 1 year, let alone 35. Don't throw away your later years without even knowing what you're giving up on.
I'm passionate about this cause I didn't know my grandad. He died when I was young. My dad is going the same way too, he won't quit smoking and I know my kids will end up not knowing their grandad either. My dad has that gung-ho mentality just like you and it kills me.
at 16 your frontal cortex hasn't really developed and you're relying primarily on emotions/impulse to make decisions and not logical reasoning. in 5 years you're going to be basing your decisions on completely different reasoning and thinking more in long-term.
aka you're going to hate yourself for inflicting permanent consequences based on emotional decision-making

You don't have to take hard-core, mind-altering, potentially-devastating drugs to "live life". I'm totally fine with marijuana and even a few others, but drugs that do permanent damage to the brain or your body are not cool. You can enjoy life and live it to the fullest from doing even a simple thing like hiking. As long as you enjoy it, it's all good. You don't need drugs for that.
(I'm not anti-drugs, I do them myself occasionally, it's just I don't have that mentality of throwing my life away for a short, non life changing experience)

of course you don't, but it's still an interesting thing to do. i do things like going for a walk quite often, and i really enjoy it. it's not like i'm addicted to anything either (other than nicotine, that bitch.), and i'm generally responsible about my drug use and treat every drug with respect.
the only thing that has done anything to my body is tobacco and none of the "harder" drugs.

I'm sure you've done a lot more research than me into harder drugs, but can't hard drugs damage your brain even from one-time use? All I'm saying is just put that stuff off until you're 25 man. When I was 16, drugs weren't even on my mind. Maybe just marijuana, but the rest, no way. I'm sure that later on in life I'll do other shit, but not until I'm older and I know it won't fuck with me for the rest of my life.
I've realized that shit can change so much in just a year. Looking back on the person I was just a year ago, I was a completely different guy. It just kills me knowing that you're potentially screwing things up for your future-self. In a weird way, I kinda care about you man <3
[editline]2nd August 2012[/editline]
Smoking cigs isn't as damaging. I know it's retarded saying it, but it's sort of true. It's damaging in the long run, but if you can cut the habit, it's quite amazing how quickly the body fixes itself. In something like a week, your chance of getting cancer is back to levels of a normal person; within seven years, your lungs will have removed most of the tar from their alveoli.

no, it can't. it's all those anti-drug movements spewing stupid lies all over the place.
[I]one marijuana cigarette contains as much tar as a whole pack of regular cigerettes![/I] etc.
most drugs can be used in a completely safe way, if you know what you're doing.
also, it's not like i plan to do every drug within this year or something, but i do plan on doing drugs pretty much my whole life. i see no reason not to, as it's not damaging me much (if at all).
i realize that it's not a healthy habit, but again, i'm willing to pay the "price".
[QUOTE=/B/rother;37049041]i do plan on doing drugs pretty much my whole life. i see no reason not to, as it's not damaging me much (if at all).[/QUOTE]
lol
ok
the problem with anti-drug movements is that they argue with statistics and conditions that are meaningless to someone young.
drugs change the way you feel. i don't know how it has affected me physically i probably won't know for a long time, but i know i feel different and i don't feel good because of it.
the price you pay is in feeling, and it's not a feeling you'll know until you have it.
[QUOTE=Guy Mannly;37049048]lol
ok[/QUOTE]
that was a stupid post, but it really isn't as damaging as you would think.
and again, i can't make myself care about what my body is going to be like in 45 years.
i realize that a lot of you are completely disagreeing with what i'm saying, but that's the way i feel.
it's because i actually am i sixteen year old kid who is just curious and doesn't really care about much else than having fun.
[editline]2nd August 2012[/editline]
it's fun to have a civil discussion about this whole thing, though.
no it's because you have to justify it. you have to or else it's going to make you feel bad.
