usually when a thread about drugs comes around, with some kid asking "oh should i try X" or something, people will say "make sure you do it responsibly" or "do it for the right reasons". i can sort of understand the first statement, but responsible for one person could mean once a year, while for another person mean once a month.
but the real question is, how do you do it for the 'right reasons'? im really confused on that part. now i am known to indulge everyonce in a while but think about it for a second.. is there really a good reason? i doubt it. |

To me responsibly means knowing what your doing, not going over board, and being SAFE!
And yes you do have to do it for the "right" reasons. Obviously don't try anything if your not prepared to be open for the experiance.
I think that "altering" your consiousness is a healthy thing to do. It allows you to be open to new experiances and allows you to undertsand yourslef and others in differents ways. |

I dont think you can do drugs responsibly. Ive been on both ends. I partied many many times sober and had a great time but Lately ive been a little too irresponsible.
Everytime I drop I do something like a risk/benefit analysis. What important tasks do i have during the week. who will i talk to in the following days, what projects do I have to work on.
I have researched this drug more than my ISU. I am not convinced if taken moderately you have inflicted damage to your brain. If your dropping every week a few pills a night than you might of caused some damage. The biggest concerns right now with E is that the receptors in your brain cells shrink due to excessive use. these receptors are responsible for deploying seratonin throughout your body. If they shrink below the cell wall the transporters (used to carry the seratonin to the receptors) will have nothing to 'latch' onto therefore seratonin is not delivered causing depression. It also relates to short term memory loss.
There is another controversial study that suggests these receptors do regenerate.
What helps me decide is keeping in mind some of the chemicals used to make E are used to clean rusted steel. Thats scary .
I definately suggest taking htp-5. Start taking it a few days before dropping and for a while after. IT DOES WORK. your sundays will be sketch free. Take allot of Vitamin C and as hard as it may be eat some carbs and take a few vitamins right after you leave. We bring coolers in our trunks and you mave have seen me in the LCBO parking lot walking around offering fruit or cookies. LOL
Most importantly, u gotta listen to your body.
I guess we will be part of a statistic. |

doing drugs responsibly means that you accept whatever consequences come as a result of you getitng hurt or dying from the drug.
i don't think there's such thing as a safe (illegal) drug, even in moderation. |

Nice post. I agree with you about pre-post loading. The people I know who do it each and every time recover remarkably better than those who don't.
However, if you're absolutely serious about protecting your brain and minimizing damage as much as possible should you choose to do e, there are further supplements you can take. If you go to www.bluelight.nu and search for 5HTP (specifically posts by Deep - he's on the tribe board as well and is very knowledgable about it) you'll find more information. The recipe deep recommends is complex, involves various other nutrients and can get costly - but how do you really put a pricetag on something like this? I found it helped me, but you end up eating, like, 12 pills before you go out, which can be hard on your stomach.
I believe it is possible to do drugs moderately and responsibly. People have been experimenting with their state of mind since the beginning of time, bascially - getting high is nothing new, it's just the drugs that have changed. As with any drug, know your limits and don't use frequently. A *lot* of people look down on drug use - they hear that someone they know got high on the weekend and they picture dirty smack addicts roaming the streets at night, looking for their next fix. We all know that's not it at all. When used responsibly, most - if not all - drugs can be enjoyed occasionally without addiction and without lingering side effects. Just as drugs can intensify your moods and personality in a negative way, when used responsibly sometimes they can encourage you to live your "normal" life more intensley, more passionately.
The problem is that people get hooked on the intensity of the highs and lows without realizing it. Education is key. |

| There is no such thing as responsibly using drugs cause we shouldn't be doing drugs in the first place. |

| i don't really have much say on this, cuz i only started doing drugs this year, but as i've heard from other people, moderation is the key. moderation as in do only what your body can handle. overdo it and you'll end up paying for it 10 fold the next day, and probably 100 fold when you're hitting 30-40. i had an idea of e before i did it, so afterwards i knew to get a lot of vitamin c in my system, and basically call everything a write-off for two days, since i felt really lazy. it also helped to get some advice from people on how their first experience was and such. even though i took all those things into consideration, it has lowered my bodily defences huge, and i am left still feeling under the weather, 2 weeks after. it's gonna be a bit till i do it again, and that's exactly what moderation is about : knowing your limits :) |

One last thing for the newer partiers. Back in the day the key phrase used all the time and holds merit was
" You HAVE to control the scene. The Scene cant control you".
interpret it as you will.... |

Hahaha... drugs... everyone wants to know what/when/how much/how often to use to stay alive and healthy. Well, people, face the truth, but you will never be as healthy as you were before indulging into drugs. And the more you do them (doesn't matter how often) increases your chances of developing some sort of a disease later on in life.
Now, you wanna do drugs responsibly? Don't do them at all... but are you gonna listen to me? Of course not, cuz I wouldn't listen to myself either (but for some reason I do). I give up, I lost myself here... |
