 Coolness: 91920 | when you are at work, or school,
the monday after another round of debauchery, do you ever hint to the drug-naive that you know something they don't? do they suspect? do you ever just tell people outright? i suppose i'm particularly curious now because I just led a university class of fifty students into a debate on spirituality and psychedelics. by the nature of my arguments, it became obvious to all that I was speaking out of experience :) i find most of the drug-naive to stubbornly grasp to anti-drug arguments, quite possibly to justify their own refusal to use. scare stories substitute for knowledge, anecdotes substitute for experience. if nothing else, I am convined that responsible drug users must speak out, so that popular misconceptions regarding drugs become blunted by their lack of correspondence to reality. and yet, speaking out leaves one at the mercy of those who seek to silence dissenting views. I speak not of myself, for I surely have not the persuasive power to render my speech significant, but of those in the past who suffered persecution for speaking out: Leary, Shulgin, and others. to speak, or to remain silent? |

 Coolness: 685820 | I love the look on normal people when I'm sitting on the bus talking to ppl over the phone and all the people on the bus are staring at me in awe because I'm still alive after describing the weekend I had. |

 Coolness: 178875 | Well, I don't know seriously...
Because there are people (like me) who know at least a little about drugs and all, but who won't take anything by choice. I don't think that kind of people will freak out if they hear the word "drug" in a sentence. They'll just accept it, say "it's your choice" and respect you. But for sure there is the "innocent" kind of people who'll freak out and all... For them, I don't know if it's better to talk about it or not. If we talk about it, they might gain knowledge and respect you. But some of them might be insulted by the choice you've made of using chemicals. One thing is sure: If you keep on bragging about how drugged you were and how COOL you were when high, then you're gonna loose respect from both groups, because the "innocent" people will almost die of horror, and the "respect" people will think you're a fake trying to look cool by getting high. So, if someone must talk about drugs to the "innocent" ones, it's better to be a responsible user than a "yow look at me I'm high" one. ;) Sorry for the long post. ;) |
