Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if you never did drugs?

damn...cant really say...probably the same...but without all those fun adventurouse times while high or in the pursuite to get high lol

 

I'd say that more than likely I would have killed myself a long time ago. I would be a close-minded asshole, (although I'm still pretty much an asshole, just not close-minded!)
And had I not killed myself, I would have never met a lot of really great people that have been my friends through thick 'n' thin. Drugs are my friends.

 

I am exactly the same as naughtygirllw. If I didnt smoke I would be on prozac indefinatly. It enhances my life, without it I would simply exist and not actually feel alive. I am a better mother, better wife, better person when I smoke. I spend hours reading, painting and having fun with my kids, quite simply it allows me to enjoy life and I feel blessed.
I also wouldnt trade the laughs and experiences I have had for the world. I have seen things, done things, experienced things that I wouldnt have had the chance to otherwise, and I am a better person for it. It has also given me insight and preperation for dealing with drug situations with my own kids when the time comes, I can talk to them honestly and from personal experience, I wont just be preaching to them about something I dont have the first clue about.

 

thats true as long as its moderated and well balanced. otherwise for most people drugs can easily destroy ure life. and if any1 disagrees with that you need to catch a serious wake up.

 

many times ive sat in my room in complete silence and thought about this question. and i have come to realize that the truth is without drugs i would be in a good highschool, making good grades, taking HUUUUUGE ass doses of ritalin and concerta, i would be completley ignorant to the worlds flaws around me, i wouldn't have stopped working out (so i would still be jacked as fuck and have my six pack), I'd get drunk occasionally, i wouldnt have really bad stomach problems, and i might be a little more happy if i was 100% goal oriented like i was. but on the other hand i would have always been bored, id get in tons of fights and end up in jail (then eventually get into drugs anyway), i would be depressed all the time unless i over achieved, and i would be more of a dick than i am now. I know deep down i wish i had never took a puff of that sweet sweet chiba, and i wish i had never took that shot of jose cuervo, and i wish i had never dropped that roll, but i did and atleast i realize it was fuckin stupid and ive accepted the consequences (sp?) and obviously since i still smoke and party and stuff i dont really care all that much so i say to words and say them loud, FUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

fcuk - I agree with what your saying, and self control is needed with everything throughout the entire spectrum of your existance. Drive too fast and it can destroy your life, eat too much of the wrong foods and it can destroy your life, drink too much and it can destroy your life, smoke to much and it can destroy your life, work too hard and it can destroy your life. Balance is everything. If I felt for one moment that smoking meant that I was unable to function properly, or run my life happily and healthily then I wouldnt do it.

 

or maybe Im just old.....lol

 

my life would be boring - i proberly wouldnt laugh that much

on saying that i wouldnt know what it would be like to have drugs so idunno

 

I would be an overweight asian girl

 

That is exactly what I ment.

 

with all that, r u are saying that this amazing plant has had a positive effect on your life? i think i deserve to call it amazing coz it certainly shaped my life for the better.

 

i would be one of those closeminded, republican, christian, conservative, faggot ass fools.

like irongoth. DISSSSSSSSSSSS lol i kid i kid.

drugs are bad. dont do them kids.

 

fcuk - Yes, this amazing plant has had a very very positive effect on every aspect of my life.

 

clearly some people havnt thought about this much, saying how boring life would be, which is silly since you cant in any way say how you WOULD have felt if your life was different.

but any way maybe im just biased caus for me, drugs have brought both bad and good however the good things vastly outweigh the bad, in the long run (unless i develop schizophrenia or something of course! lol).

its hard to express the extent to which is has enriched my life, but at any rate it has allowed me to find a difinitive passion and area of expertise to aim towards and achieve in, and i would NEVER have got interested in it seriously had i not tried drugs. i had as a child always asked myself questions on lots of things and when i started smoking weed, i started answering myself all those harder questions i had pondered. it made me realise that instead of reading descoveries, im a person in the world and shoul be making those descoveries myself. it didnt really make me do anything i didnt used to do, but got me more active in thinkning and creating things.

and also now i have something to want to go to university for.. and its thanks to drugs.

i dont see how anyone can study psychology without trying drugs! in fact in all honesty, i dont believe humans can really understand their world without taking drugs. thats not to say taking dreugs gets you to understand your world, no i still think most people are stupid but to really get that understanding you need to change your mind so that you can understand your point of reference to everything else

 

Bill the schizo...fuck, that's a weird thought.

Anyways, good question. I've been looking at this thread for a few days but haven't responded yet, cuz I don't have a good answer. I guess it'd be different, can't really say how. For one thing, certain friendships would never have occurred, at least not in the same way. And I also may never have rediscovered my spirituality which has benefitted my life in many ways. I was always depressed before, but now not so much. I'm calmer too, less angry. And I listen to MUCH better music now, haha.

On the other hand, I wonder if weed is making me stagnate. I've dropped out of college and have no direction in my life. Not that I can place all the blame on marijuana; I never knew "what I wanted to be when I grew up," but I wonder if weed caused me to lose my initiative. I'm grown up now and still don't know what the fuck to do. Bothersome. I think I've also drawn inwards more, but I think that's just my personality, I've always been shy (except online, haha) and a bit of a loner.

But it's hard to say because in none of this was marijuana the only factor.

 

Trippin, I can definitely relate to your post.

 

I don't think being on drugs, or not being on drugs has any correlation between being succesfull or not. 80% of the people I smoke with are all seniors, and we've all taken all the ap classes, and do good in school... That is not because of weed, and it would not be because of weed if I was a drop out, that is just how motivated an individual is.

 

Been sober for two months. Hated the first one, loved the second.

 

if i didnt smoke weed i would probably be high strung and anxious like i used to be. weed has helped with my depression and pretty much got rid of all this nervous energy that i used to have. when i think about it....these things are why i was miserable, depression obviously... and now i am much easier to get along with.

as for all the other shit ive gotten myself into...i could have done without that. but whatever, i learned from everything & now i dont fuck around. i also try not to regret anything that i cant change. i cant picture my life any different than it is now and i dont want to know how things could have ended up. because really, anything can happen & thats a lot of things so fuck trying to guess.

 

I think weed just made me appreciate reality. Looking back at this year i realised i fucked a lot of it up with weed. It's making me quite sad right now thinking about if i just didn't smoke at all. But then i think i'd be a bore, one of those straight edge twits who look down on people who do take drugs. Well fuck it, what i've done is what i've done and i've learnt from all of it, no regrets.......
