I'm just curious to hear other people's reasons for getting high/tripping. I usually only get high by myself to sort of free myself from instinctual criticism we have on our own minds, and just to open up and feel free. I'm not one for social tripping, only for creative/spiritual/philosophical reasons. Why do you do the drugs you do? What's it like for you? (My apologies if this thread has already been started.)
I mainly smoke pot and utilize pot related items. I will drink from time to time but its usually only a couple beers because I like the taste of a well brewed micro brew. The reason I smoke is because beleive it or not it gives me drive to do things. I will be like hmm I wanna go get baked, but then I will be like well I wanna go get baked and ride my bike in the woods. Pot has gotten me heavily into mountain biking and has gotten me in the best shape of my life (that really doesnt say much though). I would say Im the stereotypical "Enhancement Smoker" I do it because it makes my normal activities seem more fun. Picture John Stewarts character in Half Baked.
^ exactly weed just takes everything to the next level. the reason(s) i smoke pot are twofold; i smoke it with friends to get fucked up, have a good time, etc. i also smoke it alone, just to put on some chill music and think about shit, or read a magazine or something. it just helps me unwind and enjoy whatever situation im in, and ill totally make the best of it. i like everything about weed, thus i keep smoking it.
lately ive only been getting high to relax after work, and as a sleep aid. i trip for fun, and for the experiance.
i smoke for relaxation and it's something i look forward to doing after school now. not that school is that stressful, but it gets me through the day knowing i still have some weed at home. i used to smoke it at school during lunch but that never worked out to well. i take psychedelics to view things from a whole new perspective. it expands my mind, and lets me do some deep thinking without getting to much distracted. i can usually have a pretty good conversation with someone when i'm tripping, even if some of the stuff makes no sense. other drugs i usually just do for the experimentation part of it. i've never wanted to get serious into that addictive stuff, so i take it once just to see what it's like, then i'll probably never touch it again.
I find it so hard to concentrate on reading while stoned...haha, I find myself having to read the same sentence over and over and over again. It's really good to know that I'm not the only one that doesn't use weed as a recreational drug. I feel like there are too many dumbass potheads out there smoking just to be cool around friends. What a turn off.
