Originally posted by RIPtotse And yah I love the feeling that NOT doing shit is cooler than doing shit used to be cuz I've done so much fucking shit now. Idk as I get older I start to realize there's more to life then just doing drugs and shit. It's like I actually want to save my money and buy shit instead of drugs now adays. I kept thinking something is wrong with me but my counselor assures me that's what it's like getting older…also I have a looooot of gray hair for 31

Shit here I was mocking her for being proud of not being a cool drug user, and you come in and start making me question things

I mean, before anything else I just don't understand people who don't want to experience drugs. And that's not even me being "I love getting high I'm such a cool bad boi", that's honest puzzlement... some sort of basic difference between us and the normie non-SpaceNiggas, I feel like.

It's not just for the hedonism aspect — although I also don't understand people who aren't pro-wireheading: why wouldn't you want to experience pleasure all the time?! — but rather because drug experiences are largely ineffable. Can you communicate to someone else the experience of tasting an orange, if they've never had one? Before you try an entirely new flavor, can you even possibly imagine what it's like?

Imagine the poverty of a life in which you never once taste any flavor except that of Blando's Nutrient Paste®. Would your current self not want to tell that version of you to try eating some fruit or chocolate or French fries or whatever? Would that not enrich and expand your life to experience?

(Hypothetical, general "you", I mean. I know you, RIPTotse / the modal NiS reader doesn't need convincing of the attraction in drug use...)

So that's how I think about trying a new drug. It's an experience which "feels like" something entirely new, something you cannot even imagine until you've done it. People who have tried a drug can talk back and forth about it using metaphors... but if you've never tried, your understanding of the conversation will be on the same level as that of a Decolonization major trying to understand high-school mathematics: useless, wrong, and possibly laughable.

Who couldn't be curious?! It's not like anything else in the world, not like anything you can even imagine! Like seeing an entirely new color!

...but all that said, yeah I get what you mean. I hate doin' stuff. I want to just chill comfortably, dammit. Okay, and maybe travel a little. Having stuff — and being able to stop, relax, and enjoy it — is pretty nice.

And okay, I have to admit: when I stopped doing tons of drugs, my life got way easier. As a proponent of degenerate hedonism, I was surprised by this result, but it's undeniable. Physically, financially, possibly mentally — more freedom, less stress.

Maybe durgz are better as a... spice. A little scent in the air rather than the air I breathe, if you know what I mean?
