So, drugs...

[Slothy]

IMO there's plenty of better ways to escape and spend my time, but to each their own.

To be honest, most of my interest in hallucinogens stems from what evidence is out there that they may be effective at treating depression.

That and tripping balls of course.

I really wasn't trying to sound smug or superior, so I hope it didn't come out that way. What anyone else does is completely their business unless it starts affecting other aspects of their life.

Oh goodness no. I just wanted to be a smart ass. Plus i have curiosity born out of a genuine interest in seeing if the stuff could have a positive effect on my brain. I don't typically have much interest in drugs other than that do it seemed somewhat relevant to your statement.

However, when i had a gall stone attack in July and was in the worst pain I've ever felt the hospital i went to injected me with dilaudid. I've never taken an opiate in a firm that i actually felt a high from before (a morphine tablet being my only previous experience). Let's just say that while i was feeling that stuff move through my circulatory system (and boy do you ever feel it), i finally understood why someone would want to do heroine. Mind you, heroine would be a bit tame by comparison. I don't recommend anyone go out and just try the stuff because we're talking about something that's five times stronger than heroine if i remember correctly but if you're ever being given some in the hospital you are in for a hell of a good ride.
