Considering our relatively short time.. Only time if you will, it actually amazes me how the vast majority of the populous shuns drug use like MDMA, for example.
"Oh goodness I'd NEVER SUBJECT MYSELF TO THAT" they might say, or "wow no thanks that sounds addictive and not for me!! I'll stick to my wine."
Jesus fucking christ I say, what is your purpose?
"my goal in life is to stay as sober as possible relative to what I don't even fucking know as 'unsober' because I'm too scared to ever experience it."
Not using drugs isn't an accomplishment. It's boring. And if you wanna retort that "you're life must be boring because you have to use drugs," save your time.
Anyway my super point is we should all do the Molly together once.
The only sentence worth a damn was the last one, otherwise the OP was narcissistically ranting for self-assurance. If you wanna do hard drugs, fine.. If someone else would rather work out, go for a run/hike, or just plain ass sit on their couch and binge tv for hours on end.. fine.. I get your point, that theoretically life is too short to not enjoy the experiences that are divulged by the chemical compounds delivering bliss throughout your nervous system. At the same time, drug experimentation is somewhat a young mans game. From my experience alone, you dabble enough to find where you need to draw the line.. such a cannabis and moderate alcohol consumption.. maybe a mushroom trip once every so often or little ecstasy. But as you get older, and you see your "former" friends who couldn't step back from the ride.. Their jail record, their inability to vote or own a gun, their names in the newspaper for stealing, how they used to be this thing with all this potential and now they struggle to keep their head up in society...
And sure, fuck society and all it's nonsensical bullshit. But in my experience, life isn't measured in absolutes.. I've found those that do are either junkies who can't see past the high, or overly righteous zealots who did too much drugs (doesn't have to be drugs) in their past and think joining a cult will give their fractured minds peace..
Drugs are fun, but drugs are also a shit way to trade your free will and prospective potential for a form of slavery. How many good trips are worth a PI or DUI or Felony charge? I mean just unless you have no want for life short of sitting around enjoying a form of bliss inside your own head, you have to find a reasonable balance.
