The Drug Experience Thread

[Vik]

Note: I didn't mean you're ignorant, Flick James.
More like my parents for example.

[Flick James]

I didn't take it that way, vik. It was just part of my general commentary. Cheers.

It's kinda sad in a way that some of the 'legal' drugs that can get prescribed: Vicodin, Percocet, Xanax, are some of the most addicting and widely abused drugs on the market.  Everyone points a finger at people that use weed, cocaine, heroin, etc.  Those pills are incredibly hard to get off of.  Ecstacy too.

Never tried any illegal drug.  Never been drunk either.  I enjoy life just fine without damaging my brain, and frankly,  i'm not even curious about either experience.

That's me too.

I find the world weird enough as it is.
I try to hide the fact that I don't drink from people because they end up treating you like a freak. Which, I guess, I am.

I was at a Dinner and a Murder show last weekend, and one of the actors was teasing me, and when he was just about done, he looked at my drink and said "enjoy your Shirley Temple.." and got some light giggles, and then he asked what it really was, and I said that it IS a Shirley Temple .. then he said something along the lines of "life imitating art" and the entire room laughed hysterically  .  Is it THAT funny?

Only if you've been drinking.    There is a reason it is called 'impaired'.

[HappyGilmore]

Pills and alcohol are a bad combination.  Trust me.

While I've been guilty of using both, last night was a first: I fell asleep in a bar.  Good thing I had a couple good friends with me, they got me up and moving.  The pills by themselves give a buzz, but mixed with beer, increases the sensations ten-fold.  Wow.

Not that I'm condoning it.  I really wouldn't.  I know a lot of people who get violent just on alcohol and the pills make them ten times worse.  Me personally, I'm a quiet shy guy, so if I'm under the influence, I kinda just walk around talking to people.

But I NEVER get belligerent or angry.  Get more like, happy then.

One of the reasons I hate dinner theatre.

[Flick James]

Dinner theatre is okay if you look at it as the B-movie version of live theatre. Look at it as the equivalent of Plan 9, throw a few drinks, and that can be a good time.

I took an aspirin once. I really did.

[HappyGilmore]

So I'll be honest.  Vicodin is fun.  I took some earlier.  Good grief.  As a general warning: if you've never taken pills to achieve a 'high', don't.  Sounds hypocritical, I know.  I say this because: 1 of them eventually isn't enough anymore, so you end up taking 2.  2-4, 4-6, etc.
I shouldn't talk.  I relapsed this past week, went on a massive bender.  Still kinda feeling "out of it" so to speak.

I took an aspirin once. I really did.

Better watch out.  That's stuff's rough.

Some news to report.  After being clean for a little bit of time, I've since relapsed.  Hard.  Guess it's easier to be under the influence.

Just try again later.  Eventually you'll get it if you really want it.

Not unlike smoking, one of the hardest things in the world to quite. I smoked for 19 years, tried to quit several times, but finally did it cold turkey and with very little problem about 3.5 years ago. Haven't smoked since, and very happy about it. You'll quit when you're ready.

I was actually looking for info on the average number of times someone tried to quit smoking before they succeeded to show Happy he's not alone in failing in the past.
