Chell, the shining personification of all that is good and holy, admitting to taking drugs while pulling the Bible card in the span of two sentences speaks wonders about that 10% brainpower of yours. The seriousness is not getting through to me.
Comparing drug symptoms to mental illnesses will not win you any fans, either. Your constant references to illnesses like OCD and bi-polar disorder causes me to wonder if you are implying the cause of disorders is drug abuse, which is unmoral and untrue. I use marijuana because of the fact I am clinically depressed, and not the other way around. Dealing with the world is SEVERELY impaired when you see life through my eyes - the pessimism makes human nature like socializing and coping difficult, if not impossible to attempt. So before you start throwing philosophical bullshit around, think about sending the message across without sounding like a cocky prick.
My two cents goes: drugs have been and could always be around because society's standards of today are stripping us from the joys of human life. It keeps us in constant fear of being broke - there is no excitement in a work-sleep-repeat lifestyle, but we are forced to since, after all, you only have a voice when you have a large wallet. Drugs, as they say, "smooth out those edges" on reality. If we were merely born to be an emotionless function, then why is an escape from that mindset a bad thing?
oh, and i just read chell's other fun little comment. just to let everybody else know out there, "people that use drugs are compulsive liars also." well chell, since you hinted at the fact that you have smoked weed, that makes you a compulsive liar as well. so why don't we all just admit that chell seems prone to gross exaggerations. by the way chell, your little 5th grade reading level theory isn't all that well thought out. in fact, some of the most well read people i know, including myself, use drugs fairly regurally. try reading Faust. or maybe The Divine Comedy. i would LOVE to see the look on your face if you ever came face to face with my library. There are books on my shelves by authors that have shit more knowledge away than you will ever possess in your life. And if you ever decide to pick up a good book written BY AN AUTHOR WHO USED QUITE A FAIR SHARE OF DRUGS, try One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. It is considered quite a masterpiece. it may especially blow your mind that he wrote this book after many years of taking some very heavy drugs. if anyone out there wants an especially good read, try The Tibbetan Book of the Dead. it is amazing. oh, and chell? all of those symptoms of mental disorders that you developed? that was your brain trying to make you kill yourself for losing whatever semblance of intelligence you had to begin with. good day.
