wow man.

awesome. i think I am gonna get high now.

*cranks up the tiesto* ahhhh... thas sum good shit!

you go girl

girl? I never know the gender of anyone here, am I the only one that thinks that is a glaring ommission from the profiles?

I pretty much read the name and read the avatar pic and assume..

Alright.. I hear you, but you can´t really use yourself as an example there. I mean, if you spent many nights in the hospital and took ketamine everyday, that´s one a whole different level.. I take drugs at times and there are risks but hey, there are risks everywhere (cliché! arrrgh!) If one can handle the drugs there really isn´t much of a problem. And I tell you, I CAN enjoy my music, you should see me on E

Pesonally from what you've said it seems like you got sucked in to the whole drugs thing in a big way and it's great that you managed to get out of the habit. But I think that's what happens when people take it too far and drugs become the centre of attention.

But that's just one side of the coin isn't it? There are thousands of people who go out at the weekend and have a couple of pills and then on Monday morning they go back to work and it doesn't effect their normal day to day life at all.

On top of that, they have a passion for Trance music regardless of whether they are on drugs or not, they go home and listen to Trance music in the evenings and on the way to work in the morning and in their cars... they don't need the drugs to appreciate the music at all.

Nobody "needs" to take a drug to make themselves feel good, they want to. They take drugs because, in short, they make you feel good. Sure music can do that too... but then you don't keep away from sex just because there are other ways of getting yourself off. I think anybody who says that they can get exactly the same feeling that E gives you by any other means is taking absolute bollocks.

As Ishkur puts it, if a person is ill and takes a drug to make them happy then it's known as medicine... if a perfectly healthy person takes a drug for the same reason then it's suddenly evil. Which if you ask me is bollocks... it should be the other way round. If people need drugs to make them feel good then they shouldn't be given them.

Anyway that's just my opinion... if there's one thing I hate it's

a) Drug takers trying to convince other people to do it
b) Non-drug takers thinking their superior just because they don't.

OK, that was two things but anyways. None of the above was aimed at anybody in particular by the way, just peoples attitudes in general.

Have fun everybody and love the music, or the drugs, or both. Who cares, long as you're having fun and not hurting anybody else.

Blah to drugs!

p.s. weed is not a drug

Spad - theres alotta truth in wat u said.. u are indeed the wise one

i always find it amusing when people profess to stay away from drugs, but then have no hesitation in downing a bottle of XXX and gettin shitfaced...

ALKAMAHOLE IS A DRUG!!!

i guess the main distinction is in the way society percieves alcohol as acceptable and everything else as below the board...

sorry if that was abit off topic..

umm but yea.. i do take a pill or two when i go to big events... not cos i need to take something to have fun, but to HEIGHTEN the experience im already having.
I think its kinda sad if it ever gets to the stage where u depend on a drug to make sure u have fun at an event... it should always be about the music

one thing i do find intriguing is the number of people who spend a large sum of money on a ticket to an event.. then proceed to drop a pill and spend the whole night bummed out in the chill out area. Maybe its the atmosphere that attracts them... i dunno

hmm so yea i think ive rambled enuf - i'll shut up now

nothing to see here... move along please

I dunno, I don't do drugs when I go to parties, I drink like a bastard, but thats it. I enjoy the music so much, I'd like to think I don't need them.
I smoke weed cos it's nice, but it's not really a dance drug is it? I dont even call it a drug.

However, who knows? Having not tried them I can't preach to others about them, so I'm not in the slightest bothered about others using drugs.

I'm just pissed off at the end of the night when I can't keep up with them on the dancefloor and my bank balance looks a million times worse

i agree with both Ascension and Spad, and both of you make good points... What we need to accept is the fact that there will be drugs, not just in the rave scene, but everywhere.. for some i'ts hard to accept and for others its just a fact of life. honestly i could give a shit who is high and who isnt. people are all enjoying themselves and thats what matters, right? yes, ravers (me included) sometimes get all bitter because of people who "ruin" raves, but whose to say they are actually ruining the experience. i think that it is ones own attitude toward others which could make for a shitty night. we all can just be happy to be listening to some great music with others who are enjoying it as well, whats the problem with that??? trance isnt our posession, even if it was wouldnt it be good to spread and diversify the followers?? if we all are addicted and enjoy it as much as we do, why not others, i say let everyone do as they please at raves, as long as its for music. if you go to a rave on drugs and dont even care about the music, you are a fuckin follower and that is disrespect to all of us who love it so dearly.

on a side note... or maybe not so side, but different that what was just said:

quote:

a) Drug takers trying to convince other people to do it b) Non-drug takers thinking their superior just because they don't.

...by far the most true statement on this thread.

wow, even though that maybe makes no sense, it feels good to put in my two cents.. peace all
