I judge my desire to try drugs by how people act when they’re on them. Do they look like they’re having fun at least? Two drugs I’ve never had an interest in:
Ketamine
Nitrous
That's unfortunate. The effects of many drugs can be entirely mental rather than visual, leaving the person looking like they're just laying down with their eyes closed, or staring into space.
Particularly, ketamine, as a dissociative, at higher doses, is entirely in your mind. What a person in that state looks like from the outside is zero indication of what they are experiencing.
It’s not unfortunate. To me drugs are entirely unnecessary to begin with. And if I choose to use them it’s to enhance an activity, not to replace an activity or be an activity on its own. I’ll be fine.
Well that's not what we were talking about though, was it? We were talking about you judging people based on how they may look while under the influence. That's ignorant.
Also, I find this to be amusing:
Uh huh, so I guess antibiotics are off the table? I sure hope you don't die from a minor infection. Hope you never get diabetes or high blood pressure. No cough medicine or allergy medicine either, that's annoying. I hope you don't have any serious allergies, because EpiPens sure as shit count as "drugs".
Nitrous is great
To each their own for sure, but that right there is a combination for some very strange times. Sometimes fun is becoming part of the couch and traveling into outer space. They're definitely not all get up and dance and have fun, though.
Alcohol.
people definitely look like they are having fun drinking
Can confirm that alcohol is fun for as long as you can stand up straight
drinking alone is shite though.
I've just had some pretty good nights in just me, a bottle of wine, and a movie
Same here. I had some good nights drinking and gaming. Still doesn’t beat toking or eating edibles and gaming though but I've been abstaining for over a year lol
fair enough. for.me.oersonally it started getting out of hand in the pandemic. so I try to keep it social and be a good boy on school nights.
I guess in the commercials. But we don't actually see them drinking.
I had a lot of fun on the booze last night. my mouth is full of regret and bile today however.
