What I dont understand is why people equate dropping a pill to not loving the music...

imo it couldn't be further from the truth. When I roll to an amazing DJ I have the most intimate connection to the music he is playing...the sounds become a part of my life more than ever...and I LOVE it.

How many people did you know in your life that actually used heroin? The people I've meet in my life said they got addicted after trying heroin only two times. They could not quit for shit without special treatment. You can quit cigarettes "cold turkey" and be just fine, no seizures.

it depends on how much you did in how close of a time period. just because you know a handful of people that got addicted doesn't mean that everyone will. you can't say that "no matter what heroin will get you hooked with severe withdrawals after two tries" because that would just be overgeneralizing.


and, to you anti-drug nazis... meth is universally bad right? well... methamphetamine is a treatment for extreme cases of juvenile ADD. amphetamines are also. opiates such as morphine and oxycodone are used as painkillers... so let's refrain from the "all drugs are BAD!!!" mentality please

They were on that stuff much longer than two time, trust me they were "experts" and you have no idea what kinds of neighborhoods I lived in in the past, so it's not a hand full of people that I know.

This is a good statement. I was not trying to infer that all drug users are there solely for the drugs. There are clearly people who can use drugs responsibly in a public setting with a dubious social perception like an EDM event. However, there is no way to draw a line between the responsible and the irresponsible. Many use drugs and become socially inopperable, use irresponsibly, and/or blame the drug for anything that may have been out of their ordinary (Many US court cases have shown that, even in crimes as serious as rape and murder, drug use is an acceptable defense).

I really dont mind drug use of any kind at a party. What I do mind is those who dont use responsibly. I feel these people tend to gather at EDM events because of its 'shady' image, and they imagine drugs will be readily avaliable and they don't know where else to get them. These people are looking to get fucked up, nothing more. These are the individuals I would like to see out of the scene.

better yet, i'll be at the club and have awesome time without "rolling" or use of any other substance. and i'll make sure my kids grow up to do the same.

The only thing that bothers me is when anti-drug, high-horse riding losers pass judgement on me and my character based solely on ONE of the aspects of my life. Hate to break it, but studies some major cities showed that something like 40% of adults aged 18-30 do some form of illegal drugs at least once a month, be it weed, cocaine, crack or pills. If I were to choose to do 2 pills a night, once month, that makes me worthy of 'Natural Selection'? Bollocks

no... you don't read carefully. what i said and meant is

1) i don't give a shit about your life. you can live for 125 more years - or die today - i won't have a single neurotransmitter fired in either case. so, naturally, i don't judge you at all, it's your own choice what to do with your life.

2) you become worthy of "natural selection" if you die because of drug abuse. just like any other person who dies of high cholesterol because he eats at mcdonalds, or of lung cancer because he smokes, or of liver cirrhosis because he drinks too much alcohol.

3) i don't advocate for putting the end users to jail. only the dealers.

that's all.

you realise that add kids end up being spaced out boneheads when they take that shit and the use of opiates is strictly controlled BECAUSE of the fact that they are highly addictive. rethink what your saying when you try to justify drug use by comparing them to treatment modalities.

honestly take whatever you want though, its your body and i think we are all old enough to make our own decisions. just dont come offer to suck my dick when you need some scratch for crack

you may not be judging him, but there is a definite overtone of "im better than everyone else because ive made the correct choices in life so der"

probably, that's what people with inferiority complexes try to read between the lines. i clearly don't put any overtones in my messages. once again, your choice is your choice, mine is mine. i don't give a single molecule of shit what you do with your life. and i don't judge people i don't care about. that's it. no overtones there.

the only offensive to some group of people thing that i said is that "crackheads are brainless fuckups". that's my general vision of a "crackhead", or, by what i mean, a person addicted to crack, and therefore abusing it. i don't compare a "crackhead" to me, to see whether i'm better or worse, i just define such group of people as "brainless fuckups" in my own dictionary. clearly, a person who uses crack in moderation and recreationally, and is doing it not because he/she is addicted, but because it's fun to him, cannot be called a "crackhead" in my book.
