Honestly if it's getting that far they need someone to push them enough to stop, no matter who it is. You'd much rather them hate you and be levelheaded then have issues with depression and imbalances, hating themselves in the process.
Molly is a lot harder to stop doing when you are surrounded by friends doing it too. Luckily the biggest mollyhead of my friend circle went fucking crazy obsessive over my boyfriend and after he was like "whoa bitch, back the fuck up give me a day to not see you", she deleted all of her accounts and shit and pretty much dropped off the face of the earth as far as we know. After that we started getting our shit together and trying to be happier people. I was depressed before, but damn, I had no idea how far that hole went.

If your friends really are just ignoring your warnings about how bad repeated mdma use is then I don't see much you can do. Forward thinking is not something you can just tell or communicate to someone because its a way of thinking that has to be within their personal baseline. Heh, this is kinda hard to explain but think about it like this, if you have ever had a plan, then you know that sometimes plans fail, but after the failure you reflect on what went wrong and how to avoid the problem in future plans. Before the problem when you went over your plans everything seemed perfect but you overlooked a detail, that ability to forward think and compensate for that detail just isn't there from the get go because it never even occurred to you to be that important, it was outside of your radar. But as life goes on we add those things to the list to look for and account for them. Now here you have young adults dabbling in drugs for the first time and never had to deal with the repercussions... yet, but humans have optimism bias toward negative outcomes like that. Everyone thinks, "oh no I won't be addicted, I won't get parkinson's, I won't get drug-relates psychosis, or depression, etc" but we all know how that goes. The only advice I can give is to make them see it in that way, that they are sounding a whole lot like "Nah man I won't get addicted/caught/sick" and are throwing caution to the wind without even considering long term consequences. To be fair it is hard to stop binging because it becomes a question of "when will be the last time?" Do I quit after this line, or after tonight, or after the weekend, or after that party coming up, or at the end of the month, or... and it keeps on going. All I can say is sure you're having fun now, but you're not even remotely thinking about the future, you sure you want to just keep rolling with this?

I was depressed before, but damn, I had no idea how far that hole went.[/QUOTE] I think this is the perfect example of something a learned a few weeks ago. I'll try to shorten the experiment as much as possible. Experiment looking at why people cheat on tests/tasks, put people in group like classroom, have people all from same college even the actors, actors (with sweatshirt of the [I]same[/I] college) during the test will cheat, and cheat obviously so others see, the test is set to be impossible and you get a reward for getting more questions right, but what you do is you complete the test as many questions you can then rip up the paper and honestly or dishonestly tell the researcher how many you got through, the more you say you did the more you got paid. When the actor wore the same college sweatshirt more kids cheated, when it was a sweatshirt of the [B]rival[/B] college they cheated less. What I'm getting at here is that people are influenced (morals/expectations/beliefs) by what group they are in and what expectations that group has for its individuals. If everyone in the group is doing molly like its nothing then the individual who may have been hesitant about it feels more comfortable with it since it seems like something the group accepts. Since you are in the group you must have joined the group because on some level you felt like you shared the same mindset/values of the group so you think, eh if they are doing it then I probably would have been for it from the beginning anyway. But here you had one of CoilingTesla's friends, a member of the group, who suffers the consequences of abuse; when they suffered the consequence the others of the group realized that if it can happen to an [B]in-group[/B] member then it makes them susceptible too. It becomes more real, and suddenly that distant idea of some loser addict that no one thinks they are or can become turns into "wow that really can be me," forcing them to make a change.

I was depressed before, but damn, I had no idea how far that hole went.[/QUOTE] I've already been through severe stress-induced depression in high school, when I was doing upper-level classes plus several clubs and acting and breaking up with a girlfriend and going through the process of being diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and ADHD and shit. I moved halfway across the country at the end of last summer, which finally got me out of that funk and let me move on. I did basically no drugs (other than alcohol at new years and a few other times), I worked, and I was way, way happier. I didn't have friends so I was really lonely, but now that I've moved back and started smoking and drinking way more and doing molly and shit, I realize I'm actually way less happy than I was when I was lonely. Even though I have friends and a girl to talk to and people surrounding me, I feel worse. Just gonna cut drugs out of my life as much as I can for now. If my friends accept that, or join me, great - if they don't, oh well, I have other friends who don't do drugs anyways. I enjoy drugs, but people in my hometown make it a lifestyle instead of an occasional bit of entertainment or something you use to gain new perspective. Once I'm fully employed again and I have a more stable schedule, I'll think about it again, but drinking and smoking and doing molly all weekend and throughout the week isn't productive and it makes my anxiety worse.
Just when I think I'm finally getting over my alcoholism, every now and then I when shit gets rough I'll have the urge to lock myself in the garage with a case or bottle and blast music. Doesn't help that we've been having warm days which I've nicknamed 'Corona weather'. Addiction never really goes away, does it?

Ive gone cold turkey for weeks, and then I would start up again packing lips in the middle of school and when hanging out. Addiction never truly goes away, and you need to watch yourself or you'll go straight back to your habit. For example, I haven't dipped in two weeks, but pressure overcame me and I just bought a new can. The buzz is good, but I know if I keep this up I wont be able to kiss my boyfriend or have a cheek/lip. Addictions suck, bro.
I've been having urges to get high all day again, but not having any weed makes it easier to resist But if I had any I know for sure that I would have immediately fallen back into that, which is disappointing and means that I really shouldn't buy more I've just been so much happier with much more infrequent use, and every day I feel my imagination coming back more. It's a strange feeling, like when it suppresses sleepy time dreams it also suppresses dreams for you life and daydreams (imagination) It's much more satisfying to have to work to be creative
This is why weed is the antichrist. Everyone is addicted to it more than heroin and I can see how people's intelligence dwindles as they become true dopefiends, becoming violent just for their next hit. I'm sorry ZenX2, but you and everyone else here fit the description, and I can't imagine what you thugs look like in real life. This is why you don't do drugs. This is why they educated us in school to be intelligent and make the right decisions. This is why family and god are the most important people in my life. Stay safe, and stay above the influence.

[QUOTE=cody8295;47411933]Mustve been one skinny joint, I usually pack a gram into the normal small 2 inch papers[/QUOTE] it was surprisingly fat - but factor in the fact that I'm british and smoke 'em about 60% full of tobacco and it becomes a bit easier to understand :v:
The more I meditate, after I stop my thoughts come out as poetry with completely unintentional rhythm and shizz, I just walk around in the forest narrating the information I'm receiving through my senses instead of thinking about that is the source of that information. I think with enough work I could start a new genre of "nature rap" if that's not already a thing
I'm going to a psychiatrist in the morning ugh so anxious. And I know I shouldn't be but hey that's why I'm going! Also I love this idea of nature rap honestly
I keep having this reoccurring theme in my dreams of going to hit a bowl and then not realizing that I'm not closing the carb. I usually quickly fix my mistake but it almost always reminds me that I'm dreaming and I instantly change dreams or wake up.
Talking about sleep I've slept terrible the last two days. I keep waking up moving around, I just can't get comfortable laying still. Bleh.

So my buddy and I picked up a couple cute girls last night at a local brewery. Everything was going really well and we headed back to his pad to smoke some dabs with them. One of them had never smoked dabs before so we explained the process as we heated up the nail, and she assured us she'd be all good. We hand her the bong, hand her the wand, and she takes the dab. Then, much to my extreme horror, she GRABS THE NAIL like it's a normal bowlpiece or something. I wish someone had caught my expression on camera because my brain imploded on itself. Not only had one of my worst stoned fears come true, but to a girl I had just met. Should have seen her fingers man, they blistered instantly and she took it like a champ. Didn't even wince. Still got her number. :D
