Well, at least you tried it FIVE times...
Getting plastered, or even mildly drunk, would ruin me for at least the next 24 to 48 hours. It didn't take long before I realized that weed was a lot safer and infinitely more fun than getting hammered.
Five times over the course of my childhood. I knew kids who did that **** all the time. I usually stayed away but had no specific objection to it.
The time my friend had a heat attack on some bad acid he was home for a couple days for Thanksgiving from ARTEC and that's what he wanted to do.
The downside to most recreational drugs is that they are not pure or not what you think you are taking. LSD has relatively few side effects if pure, even a decent amount of it. But more often than not you are taking something else or cut with crap. LSD is relatively one of the harder rec drugs to find. Stomach stuff can happen with some people heart stuff should not happen.
Shroom besides a minorly upset stomach should have pretty much no side effect.
People who have "bad trips" just get scared and worried on it. Just do something fun and be around fun people and its fine.
Acid trip and shroom trips are pretty much the same just Acid seems to last longer.
I have been around a **** ton of drugs. I would do certain ones more often if they were not illegal. But I dont really feel the need to risk my future for some fun.
I do go to burning man though... some people do lots of stuff there. I have seen almost all of it, rumors have it there are some great combos...
Yeah, some kid at our school died from taking some kind of knock-off acid.
Like the tenth time I've said it but I was a five time felon (stuff I got caught for) as a juvenile. In this day and age I probably would have been tried as an adult at some point...would never have served 6 discipline free years in the Navy, wouldn't be paying my taxes today, would be living in prison and all of you would be footing the bill.
Thank goodness we're not clock work organisms. Thank goodness when I was a kid it was understood that kids grow up and change into adults if you let them.
Absolutely. For a better understanding of what The Bronc is talking about, search for the "What's In My Baggie" documentary on the youtubes. Incredibly eye opening.
Typically the high end of what you would buy and take is 300 micrograms overdosing is around a few thousand micrograms and usually even then death is not a concern if its pure unless you have a heart problem already. Then a severe overdose could be scary. IMO there is no reason to overdose, its not like you get much more out of it. Some stuff you increase "the fun of it" this is not one. It is also not addicting.
Sad to see anyone die of drugs or alcohol though, wish people were more educated about stuff and not just scared of everything.
Some kids are going to do drugs and have sex and other stuff no matter how much you try to "scare them" away from it. Seems much smarter to teach the consequences of stuff more specifically.
Lots of times kids get told drugs are bad and will kill you. Then they try something like weed and its fine, so they assume what they were taught was a lie (which it was) and venture way to far into stuff that will kill you like heroin and to a somewhat lesser extent meth.

Simple words to say, but difficult to live by. You mentioned that you are already a grey sheep in the family flock and afraid of going black. To be honest, I was in a similar situation where a family member was did some... heinous things, both to himself and others. However, the rest of the family was defending him, saying he could do no wrong. I worked with him, coaxed him, and was as tactful as possible. When I stood up to him and gave him an ultimatum, he chose to continue down his road. As a result of my actions, I was ostracized, excluded, and eventually left out in the cold. That family member eventually died as a result of his actions and the family will STILL not talk to me.
But my conscience is clear and my actions were honorable. You cannot put value on a good night's sleep. I still have other family, friends, my wife, and a life that is (to me) worth living.
Do unto others, my friend. I hope this helps.
Kind of intense.
