DRUGS!

I'd just like to say for the record that I do not agree with MOO's characterization of how drug use affects the human body/psyche.

Sure. I've also had thoughts that I thought were profound while sober, that turned out to be nonsense when I looked at them later. But my signal to noise ratio is demonstrably better while tripping. And I've never had a tripping night that didn't result in a remarkable shift in perception on at least one subject when I came down.If there's one problem I have with hallucinogens, it's that I can't keep that fluiditiy of free-association on hand to call up whenever I need it, and instead have to devote a whole night to near-physically-incapacitating myself.

In the spirit of the OP, what drugs have you tried and do you have any regrets?

None. No regrets.

Drunkenness is immoral because as I said because it lowers you to a state lower than that of an animal. You temporarily do not have your cognitive ability and you are irrational, lacking the ability to reason.I have not written a single falsehood.Furthermore, those that experience little ill effects neglect the needs of the other participants around them which is immoral.Edited by -messenjah of one, : furthermore

That's a great way of putting it!But in all honesty, at least in my experience, that's only phase 1. Letting H = Human, phase two can be expressed as H/2.

It's science.

Well, I'd be the last to say that too much of a good thing can't possibly be bad.

If Ernest Hemingway, Oscar Wilde, Dorothy Parker, Tom Waits, Shane McGowan, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hunter S. Thompson, Brendan Behan, Dylan Thomas, and William Faulkner are less than animals, I'll consider it an honor to be somewhere around the level of a dog.

They were not writing when drunk. Especially F. Scott Fitzgerald, the only notable writer in your list.

There is no possible way to type the appropriate amount of laughter in response to this statement. And just when I think you can't top yourself...

Fact is, you can't accept that your lifestyle is immoral. Address the heart of my posts if you want to be taken seriously.Edited by -messenjah of one, : that

Sorry kiddo, but when you said that Shane McGowan doesn't work drunk, I gave up any hope of serious words passing between us.

I once had the epiphany that liquids conform to the shape of their container...it was mindblowing.That said, I was eating shrooms laced with LSD. Too much of a good thing is very possible with psychodelics.

And yet you speak with such confidence and arrogance with regard to their effects? Shouldn't you be a little more humble in your statements about a subject you know nothing about?I'm not saying that can't have a reasonable opinion, but I can't imagine speaking with such certainty. Are you sure that a moderate intake of certain drugs like alcohol or marijuana significantly effects your ability to reason? If so, how do you know this? Doesn't it make sense that one is more at liberty to think about subjects clearly if they aren't marred by anxiety?

Jesus' first miracle was turning water into wine.He's cool with us drinking it.You're christian, right?If not, ignore this.
