I have been free of drugs for 16 years (my entire life). I don't have a strong desire at all to smoke anything or drink, and I am not sure why. It seems to me that everyone who does drugs around me enjoys it, and when I ask people if I should or not, they are unsure and they tell me that it is fun but that I shouldn't do it anyway.
Is the only downside of marijuana the cost? That is how it has been appearing to me lately. For some reason I beg my girlfriend not to smoke weed, and she has been clean for like 3 months or more, but I'm not sure why I don't want her to do it. I also don't like it when she drinks, and I think this is all irrational. She used to smoke a pack of cigarrettes a day and weed and drink probably every day, shes done cocaine a few times, but now she is mostly clean.
I can only believe that I will enjoy it if I start smoking weed, and I am smart enough to stay responsible with it, so why don't I start?

Im a pretty hard core drugy, noting like i was but i snort probley a 8 ball every weekend, bc i been hanging out with the wrong ppl again, and i smoke every day... i havent been clean for over 2 years. i drink alot too but i dont enjoy drinking very much. i eat shrooms. i love lsd. I smoke opium all the time as of lattly and i belive i have become very addicted to it bc i smoked it for 3 weeks straight now other then 3 days... 3 days of straight hell. and i do all this bc i took that one Puff off of that metal bowl, up at the park, behind the big oak tree. it was haze and it only took a hit to get me stoned. and i feel in love instantly.
What im geting at is if you ever desided u want to smoke weed, that is great, try it if you want too, just dont do it every day, dont become depndant on it, and plz dont do any thing else harder... bc in the end its just hell. anbd every drug addict knows it. In there head they always think back to the first time.. and rember what they where like befor they started and i garenty they can tell a differance in them selfs now from then. Thanks too footbag i got off alot of the harder shit but as of lattly i been doing alot of coke. Its just around really cheep or even free. and i cant say no bc im a weak fuck. Just dont turn in to me is all im saying. you can smoke weed and not end up like this. just watch your self.
as for your girl friend, sorry to say dude but odds are no matter what u say to her she could do it and u wouldnt even know, i hang out with alot of "hiders" from there husbands girlfriends, boyfriends. and all i see is straight hell. i wouldnt even want to be like that. but i dont know her maybe she is really faitful to you and dosnt do any thing, and if thats the case live it up man. just telling you this, there is no just once, just trying, bc once youve had them, there isnt a life without drugs.

No I can't merge topics. I don't like locking topics either because I believe it is possible that there is something that could be said in this topic that isn't covered in the other one - I just can't think of what that is (but I'm sure there are lots of things people think of that I wouldn't).
I'll just ask again that unless you truely believe that what you have to say can only be said in this topic and would be completely out of place in the other topic - please please please post in this topic

Or else I won't just lock this topic - I'll delete it!

I read the other topic and this is more toward Matt, who isn't even in the other topic so...
I only drink occasionally. I am with you (Matt) with not knowing why I don't like my boyfriend smoking pot. I think it is just from past experiences with ex boyfriends who turned into pot-needing other drug-needing cheating jerks. I actually think he still is smoking, but if he controls it and doesn't depend on it and all that crap, I don't care (I don't like that fact that he has to hide it if he is though). If he turns out like the ex's, I am not keeping him. As for other drugs, I don't support them at all. I have seen drugs (and alcohol) screw up my family and friends so much that it scares me. I have this friend that is messed up on like heroin and crap, and I cried when she did it while I was with her, cuz she knows I hate it, and that was the first time she did it around me. I wish she would try to quit. I know it is hard, but still. She knows a bunch of her friends hate it. Anyways. For you thinking about starting, I would say not to try it because, yeah, you may like it, but it may take control of your life and screw you up. That's why I never tried pot. I know I will probably like it, I just don't want to have to mess with it. As for drinking, I purposely only do it occasionally, but intend to get drunk when I do. I am usually satisfied for a month or so. I am aware that alcoholism is in my family and if I see me drinking everyday or even every weekend I will try to stop myself because I don't want to turn out that way.

my advice to you matt, is to simply do what you want to do. if you are curious to the point where you want to try smoking some pot, try it. But don't let other people tell you to take drugs or not take drugs, after all it is YOUR decision.
I had the same mentality as you a few years ago. I did have fun going out and being sober. It got to the point where a lot of people were drinking and smoking and having fun at the same time, and drugs seemed to enhance the evenings for them. So I drank a few times, it wasn't much fun to be completely drunk. I particularly didn't enjoy vomiting all night. I was even more curious about pot. I was scared my first time. After getting high a few times I did enjoy it, a LOT. Since trying marijuana, I've tried a few other things. Nothing compares to tripping though. Mushrooms have changed my life (for the better) because of how much understanding I gained from being on them. I like being in an altered state of mind exactly because thats what it is, altered.. you can't be like that without drugs. I don't use drugs to kill the pains of life, or escape from something i don't like. I love life, and I'm a relatively happy person. I guess you could say I use drugs to change my sense of reality, because I like different states of thinking.
So I'll say again, do what you really feel like you want to do. If you are curious, go for it. But if you see the risks as outweighing the benefits, just chill.
