Hello everybody, I'm Miguel and I come from Lisbon, Portugal. I randomly came across these Forums and felt the urge to read them, like you do with a book, but participating in small ways like, in the introduction section I'll introduce myself. Like filling in a form, yes. I'm 17, I study arts. I'm very spiritual, but not religious. Although I have lots of people who appreciate me, I'm not a groups person. I have a very peaceful relationship with myself and I sometimes like to wander around in very quiet parts of the town, at night, either alone, or with one more person. I don't go to night clubs, because I totally hate the environment, and the music, but I've been finding out lately, that if it's trance, I can enjoy it. In my opinion, a person doesn't need to smile even if they're happy, because a smile, to me, expresses a very level of hapinness not associated with what, let's call them regular, just because they're not me, regular people associate it with. To me a smile is like the climax of happiness, and shouldn't be taken for granted. I also defend that there is bad selfishness and good selfishness, being good selfishness very, very healthy. Keep in your mind that you were born alone and you will die alone. At the end of the day, what matters most is you, so don't live your life for someone else. Try to find people who can relate with this, and create a relationship based on it, I can assure you it will be the most healthy relationship you've ever had, because there is no ''crap''. Find pure honesty, don't be afraid to use every word you know. I firmly hope that that helped someone, even if it was just one person. I'll be glad to answer any questions in my inbox about anything that relates to what I just shared. Now, drugs. My drug experience isn't very vast. I always read a lot about a drug's effects and consequences before I take them, and am always aware that what I'm taking is a toxic substance, which surprisingly makes me enjoy the effects to the fullest. I'll share some of my little experience with you, and I'll try to list them in the order I started taking them: Hashish: The first drug I ever smoked. In my opinion, not worth taking. Paki: A lot better than Hashish, but it's still not it. Cannabis: Very nice. Salvia: Smoked a very weak extract, and a first time bong user friend of mine managed to spill water on the joint. Didn't feel it. Gorby Mix: This one will hit you with power. It's a legal potpourri available in smartshops. You'll get VERY VERY dry in your mouth. Actually, I'm not even sure if you'll produce any saliva. Everything will seem hilarious. Nirvana: Also available in smartshops. Amazing physical sensations. Made me feel my blood traveling in my blood vessels, and if you smoke enough, that sensation will reach your brain. And the best part is you'll still produce some saliva. LSD: Only took 1/4 of a blotter, but it came to stay. I took it before an Arcade Fire show, and I can say without a doubt it was the best concert of my life. I wasn't high, or tripping, but I was very free. And that's all for now. Feel free to ask any questions about me, as I'm sure I'll want to talk to some of you and not so much with others. ~
