that’s my issue with parties, i’m not into stimulants cos they make me depressed so i don’t wanna party all damn night and morning!
also i was gonna tick both boxes about mental health problems from drugs and beneficial but didn’t… now i wish i did because i smoke DMT because it improves my mental state but ketamine rots me out and fucks me up with cramps etc.

Yeah, I ticked both. Drugs have massively benefited me. I’ve never had any bad experiences. In a lot of cases, particularly with hallucinogenics, they’ve simply confirmed a way of seeing the world that I’ve been experiencing since childhood anyway. They amplified it and made it more extraordinary but essentially they only made what was already within me more astute and alive. The crappy pill comedowns are the only thing I’d say is not exactly roses, but I’ve been suffering from depression since I was ten so they’re nothing compared to some of the episodes I’ve had.
I personally think it would take someone pretty ignorant to only tick one of those boxes.
I had trouble desiding on the answers for some of the questions and not all drugs do the same thing.

I dunno, I know quite a few people who genuinely don’t feel there’s been any downside whatsoever for them. They wouldn’t be able to tick a box saying that they continued taking drugs despite negative effects because they don’t think there’s been any. That’s not ignorance, it’s just personal experience. To be honest, if it wasn’t for a couple of notably nasty pill comedowns I’ve had, I wouldn’t be able to tick that box either, really. Drugs have been 99% positive.
Answered some contradictory choices, think drugs have probably had positive and negative effects on my mental heath. I’ve also never been diagnosed with any problems but haven’t really tried to find out, probably do tick some of the boxes for some conditions but I think we all do to a certain degree. I always try to be an optimist so it’s generally all good anyway :love:
I know we are a self selecting group but the overall answers are better than I had expected 🙂

I cheated :laugh_at:
The biggest regret is i never imbrased my insanity enough, Instead of trying to fit in
Never compromise who you are to fit in – unload those people and find the friends who will love you for who you really are warts and all. They do exist. It may take a little while longer but in the long run it pays the effort a hundred times over.
{And if you can love yourself it makes it so much easier to accept the love of other people without that nasty little internal voice telling you that they don’t know the real you – take it from me – I have so been there.}
I do wonder how many people will answer wrong for:
Have you ever had to attend a hospital for treatment as a result of legal drugs?
Booze is a legal drug and one that a lot of people use, it is not only alcohol poisoning that can land you in hospital. Could be accidents that happened whilst drunk? I have had to attend hospital whilst pissed due to personal injury, I wouldn’t have been injured if I hadn’t had a few as I would have seen what I was doing was obviously dangerous to myself! :laugh_at:

I didnt see the legal drugs one, i went over a wall on the 9th dec, 2006 and broke my shoulder. It was 9min to 9, i know this because my watch stoppedAlso i took a dud e in 2000, i should have gone to hospital for that, it was really hard work. It took 5 days to get out of bed and hold down some water, as soon as i’d drink it, it came straight back up. Took 6 weeks to hold down some food. I caught my reflextion sitting in a cafe, i looked like a cross between someone out of shindlers list and that evil guy dressed in black from the polterguist. I truely looked like something that had come straight from a graveyard

Its hard not to compromise when your unsure of yourself. But its not about hanging around mean people, they cant stand me, the extreme ones glare at you as soon as you walk into the place, if their in the corner so you dont see them, the animocity coming from them makes you snap your head towards them and they will be glaring at you and will try to turn everyone in the room against you, it used to make me angry, but their put downs would be so stupid they had’nt a hope of succeeding and would have to leave. if we were both alone and there was no speak, the feeling and glare from them would be the same and they’d leave almost straight away, Walking down the street or along a canal they would try to trip you up or barge you with their shoulder. The extreme ones are every 2-3 months, the others little fickers were just annoying but more abundent, but when your unsure of yourself it would really get you down. Tell me this wouldnt make you screem in dispair, what is wrong with me. The resentment that built up from this anger is what made me go into the woods, away from it all. Now i dont mind, it almost makes me smile in a sad way. But there’s no denying they really got to me, sometimes i used to breakdown and cry uncontrolably, which would make me feel much better afterwards, i’d have a spring in my step for awhile. The closest i got to suicide was in 95, but when i got the cliff it wasnt in me, thank god, i’ve had good times since, and women like me but i’ve always been shy.Catcha mother fuckin twenty two aye.
