Yeah, I can't remember ITT who said "WHEN YOUR HIGH YOU THINK EVERYONE USES" no thats not true. When you are high and partying with addicts you meet other addicts and get a bigger picture of the scope of this world. I saw everyone from street walking hookers to business owners. The guy who sold me my 8ball did so from out of the back alley heavy reinforced door of a commercial business on a busy road in a metropolitan city, right there with cars and people walking by, cops all over and it was the most casual drug deal of my life, junkies walking around EVERYWHERE. They own the city, they own the working class neighborhoods and small businesses.
In places like Silicon Valley you find meth culture all over white collar jobs and suburbia.
You're right on here. The guy I mentioned, if I dropped his name I know you could do a fairly quick Google search and have a fucking list of his education, previous positions and current (this jedi still is working his game in there) within the government, his accomplishments, his side projects and a good deal about his personal life. I knew this man personally. He is one of my friend's father who I stayed over at their house for the bulk of every summer with her (I was kinda like the poor kid they felt sorry for- these people were super huge into donating money to charities for "under-privlaged" kids and he works pro-bono as an attorney for several charitable organizations and his wife is the head and runs several charities currently and in the past.)
Most people would NEVER EVER think this man does any drugs at all. He gets a fat benzo script every month from his doctor, along with several stimulants. He got on meth when he had a position that had him working for years in Vietnam and it was just easier to get meth there and he was turned onto it by his Vietnamese colleagues there. The dude has it all. He's a huge Democrat (obviously- he did work as an advisor for the Clinton administration and is huge into campaigning for Democratic candidates. I ran into him when I was drug to a John Kerry rally- literally 1500 miles from where he lived, randomly.) This man I know for sure has done some shady NSA investigating on myself and all his daughters' other friends. My friend and I have a running joke when we talk on the phone, text, or send emails "(Hi, Bob)" because we both know that motherfucker has been up in our shit and probably still is.
No joke, if the man had more charisma he has the perfect resume to run for president (at least traditionally. Harvard law degree, military service, has a lot of experience with foreign diplomatic relations, has all theboxes checked for humanitarian service, charity and has the perfect at least from the outside "family unit", though his daughter would probably fuck his shit up lol she'd ruin his reputation and career if he did enter the public arena lmfao... She has friends like me... And a bunch of worse shit- heads too lol it would be a PR nightmare). That really is the only thing he lacks, is the presence and charisma to pull off being elected (that and I think he likes working in the background and staying out of the spotlight for the most part, so it's not something I'd think he'd want to do really.)

to be fair, not every single individual human being does drugs. like, drug drugs, you know. at least i don't think they do. i have in fact considered the possibility very seriously though. drugs played a big role in human development and are basically an inextricable part of our existence. in the future, it will be mandatory that all humans have a cranial spike installed, like a syringe in your skull that goes to your pineal gland, and you'll refill the well in its cap on a monthly basis or so with a DMT solution that seeps into your brain over time.
I think more people do drugs than you realize. I hate when people say "like drugs-drugs, you know" like wtf? Drugs are drugs are drugs, no matter which way you cut it. What you and people like that are doing is trying to separate yourself from what you deem as the "socially unacceptable" drugs.
Caffeine is a drug. How many people drink coffee in the morning? How many people will get a migraine, be irritated as fuck, and be a complete douche bag if they don't have their morning cup of coffee? I'm willing to bet 90% if not more of the same people who would bitch about and be against the legalization of drugs and go on a tangent about addiction and it ruining society and lives.
Pray tell, why is it that someone who takes a dozen medications for their diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol or any other common ailment is not seen as a "drug user", but someone who is prescribed or takes a medication that has the side effect of causing euphoria and potential to make them feel good such as an opiate, stimulant, or something along those lines, is looked at as a druggie or drug drug user? I'm using them just like you are to improve my day to day life and overall well being,just like your propranolol and metformin do for you. I think there is a common misconception with those people in the former who don't realize that "chronic" pain and "chronic" fatigue... And hell, "chronic" depression and anxiety DO exist. I don't even think most doctors truly understand and can appreciate what a "chronic" Condition like pain really is for those who suffer with it- there isn't an "opiate" epidemic, there is a "chronic" pain and dep epidemic. If you've never lived with it day to day for years and years then you have no fucking clue what it's like and shouldn't have any room to judge what another person does to alleviate those symptoms. The whole system is set up to control the masses. You don't want everyone feeling good and at the top of their game, because then you have people who are able to think and see more onto the way the shit is set up and hey... Those people who are no longer worried about managing their pain or depression because they can get their drugs easily and readily available now can start to monitor more and more and may want to be involved more and more and are more and more enraged when bullshit and injustices occur from those holding power. This is why most people don't care and why so much bullshit goes on with the vaste majority of the population not really giving a fuck when they should be outraged and throwing a fit to have these criminals, guised as politicians, hung.
Also, everyone has a vice, be it food, be it an obsession to exercise, maybe it's gambling... Fuck, those fanatics who are super religious get something out of "staying spiritual" and spending every waking moment reading the Bible or participating in some form of religious activities. Even then, it's hard to live a life from start to finish without ingesting or using a chemical at least at some point in your life. There are chemicals in your food "drugs"... In green tea there is L-Theaninine. It's a chemical found in it naturally,but fuckers, it's a drug too.
I can't stand those fans who want to go on about" but yeah.. I only do "natural" stuff and everyone should avoid chemicals... I wish the world were rid of drugs and chemicals" all while they are eating their organic poppy seed bagel and drinking down their organic latte. Fuckers, first you'd be dead without "chemicals" most likely from the use of antibacterials and antibiotics. Then if you want to get into "natural" but still knock my drug of choice, fuckers, where do you think opium nd morphine come from? A fucking plant, that's right! Just like your fucking precious fucking marijuana plant. Why is it okay for you to refine your plant and make BHO but somehow my refining of opium to make morphine and heroin or dilaudid somehow is different here? I like pot just like the next guy, but to sit here and say that it's good for everybody and has no side effects is retarded. It's not good for schizophrenic people, it can create and make depression worse in some people, it can cause all sorts of issues. If you want to bring up its safety profile, fine, it's not going to have people "overdose" and die from it, true, but a little common sense with dosages and knowing your specific health background can go a long way to using other drugs such as opiates and stimulants responsibly and positively to curtail specific health problems that may warrant their use. Also, have you forgotten that arsenic and lead is "natural" too? "natural" does not equate to "safe",nor does" synthetic" or "refined" mean that something is "bad" or "dangerous". I'm sick of shit ignorant bullshit.
