DRUGS

[HappyGilmore]

I saw some specials on tv recently, on the Current network.  The first was about the rapidly growing usage of prescription pill abuse in the nation, notably painkillers like Vicodin, Percocet and OxyContin.  The sad fact is, more teenagers are using these as a gateway, not marijuana, notably due to parents having them in the home due to the parents having back and knee surgeries and the like.  The problem is, the pills are a synthetic form of heroin.  Once hooked, they buy them from dealers.  It turns to a heroin addiction thereafter, because one Oxy can cost around $80, when dope can be bought for the range of $5-$10.

Having experienced that in the past, it's a bad time, really.

Me again-lotsa inteeligent stuff from you guys-what I expected from you good folks.
My brother Richie just came out from NY-he lost his home-left his wife. I was trying to help him-I set him up with a good freind to try an get him on SSI-he has medical records saying he's physical f**ked somehow (I dunno-I personaly think most SSI reciepents are just f**king lazy). But I got him into a freind of mine-and his-Kerrie.
Now Kerrie is a good woman. Her parents were murdered by meth heads. They killed them and burned the house to the ground. Richie-10 years ago-was an addict. A meth head.
Ok-he came over yesterday. I got hima Stephan King book. He brings a notrious junkie woman with him.
I find out the last week he's been living with my first wife-who is a drug addict.
He aint even trying to get a job,help from SSI..he's slummng off my ex and her junkie freind.
I may be a drunk-but I dont rob or kill people for my fix.

Has anyone ever done mescaline? If yes, how was it? And how would you compare it to LSD?

[HappyGilmore]

I've out and out stolen. ie: never robbed a relative, never a store, etc. I work in a restaurant. Seen a couple servers lose money on the floor. Picked it up. Six hours go by, nobody says 'Hey I dropped money, anyone seen it?' Without a word, I Left. Figured, hey, it was on the ground, finders keepers.

They checked tapes but cant figure who grabbed it.

mescaline is about the same high as LSD. Acid lasts longer. both make you crave orange juice. Why Im not sure.
I don recommend either drug for anybody-its very intense-not an addicting drug like meth or junk or booze-its a weird trip high. I know. Iused to sell it to bikers in the 80's. Blotter acid. Mescaline too.
I am not a nice man. I did lots of evil s**t.

While LSD is intense, it's generally harmless. Don't know too much about mescaline but I heard it's also non-addictive. So, don't be so hard on yourself, I wouldn't call that evil s**t.

Bollocks! Nobody is perfect.

Selling drugs was only a small part of the evil s**t I did in the 80's.
I was f**king my neighbors wife-I was doing all sorts of drugs-constantly-I was not a person you wanted to trust yer wife around. I was f**king everybodys wife. I was a rude basterd.

I was f**king everybodys wife. I was a rude basterd.

F***ing everybody's wife is one thing, but there's absolutely no excuse for rudeness

Anytime someone brings up acid, I'm reminded of this clip from SLC Punk!:
Heroin Bob (who never does drugs) talks about how bad acid is.

I've never done acid, personally.  I'm still struggling with drugs but I stick to the few I've had experience with.

I've been on and off curious about LSD, and my friends who have done it in the past seem healthy enough, but knowing that it stays in your system forever is a scary thought.

It can't harm you physically, it's non-addictive and non-toxic. The only danger is having a bag trip. You should take LSD when you're  in really good mood, if you take it when you are depressed, or angry, chances are you'll have a bad trip.

Bad trips aren't the only danger.  There is a rare chance that LSD could potentiate latent schizophrenia or psychosis.  It also diminishes judgement, meaning you can make bad, potentially dangerous decisions (like driving under the influence).  Also, obviously, LSD is illegal and being arrested for possession and potentially having your life ruined must be counted as a danger.  However, it does not stay in your system forever and is relatively safe as far as recreational drugs go.

But that comes from a bad trip, I thought? The other things you mentioned, I agree, should definitely be taken into account.

No, as Rev said, "potentiate latent schizophrenia or psychosis". That has nothing to do with it being a bad trip or not.
