People really get defensive when you suggest that you view their use of recreational drugs as anything less than the best idea ever.
Your personal choice that doesn't affect others is oppressing meeeeee!
It's the sheer closed-mindedness of refusing to try a particular drug, even a tiny dose of it just to get a vague impression of what it's really like.
holy shit you just convinced me to smoke crack! after all i would hate to be close minded. before long i'll be mayor of a large Canadian city
I wasn't sure, but ruizcar's convinced me to give meth a go.
I'm thinking of shooting heroin directly into my eye myself.
Hey, anyone got marijuanas I can inject into my spinal cord?
You mean so you can walk around like a wind up doll?
What drugs have you tried?
You have got to be the coolest most knowledgeable person I have ever seen. I mean, really.
Now go away.
It's probably all the drugs he's taken that's made him all instrospective and shit. maybe if i do a bunch of drugs i'll be just like him.
/u/ruizscar is my new idol.
edit: DAE le drugs?
I've tried a bunch of drugs, but there's still plenty that I'm not interested in even touching. Get over yourself.
Yet again you don't need to do drugs to realize that they're not always good.
Ever hear of Krokidile? That shit literally causes your skin to rot and fall off.
But drugs are awesome, right? Shoot up some Krokadil and then I might concede your point.
And just so you know, I'm pro-legalization. I even voted for it.
I just don't want to do them myself.
Oh yes, and for the record. I have had bad drug experiences. I spent 3 months of my life super massivley hyped up on antidepressants that were legally perscribed. I won't even go back onto them. I'd rather face my life sober.
Krokodil, here I come!
Who needs all this skin, anyway?
I wouldn't advise people to do LSD unless they were 100% invested in the idea. It's not a sampling drug. That shit lasts at least 8 hours.
How would a "tiny dose" even work? LSD is active at micrograms, and unless you're the dealer (they usually don't know either... lol double dipped) or have a vial you don't know the dosage you're getting anyway. I assume you're a rookie.
Most people try shrooms before acid.
Shrooms aren't a sampling drug either. That lasts at least 6 hours, and the fun thing about fungus is, you could eat one cap and trip balls, or eat a whole eighth and feel nothing. Your ignorance is astounding.
Unless you've injected heroin I've done more drugs than you. And any drug can be measured or cut down to a low dose if you are advised well.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little poser?

Did not disappoint
So according to you then, unless I basically sample every single drug known to mankind I'm close-minded?
It sounds like you've done way too much cocaine bro.
>It sounds like you've done way too much cocaine bro.
Don't lump in my precious cocaine with this loser.
If you refuse to take a single drag of a joint or crack pipe, or a few specks of MDMA, or a tiny line of coke, or a bite of a shroom, yes you're closed-minded.
Holy cock, did you just call people closed minded for not wanting to do CRACK? What the fuck is wrong with you???
Being open minded doesn't mean you can't use discretion.
Holy shit this is a whole new level of retarded. Do you eat your own shit? If not you're close minded. I suggest you try it.
Have you ever had gay sex? If not you're closed-minded.
You should give genital mutilation a try sometime, I mean sure most people probably wouldn't like it but some people get off on it and how would you know you don't like it until you try?
It's more close-minded to not accept that some people simply don't want to do drugs.
You don't see the hypocrisy in what you just said?
Aaaaaand there it is. I thought you might be serious up until that, 9/10. Well done.
And guess what? You're not me... You don't and can't know how my own body would respond.
No one cares
Nobody gives a shit how many drugs you've done. It doesn't make you any more enlightened than anyone else. Many, many, many people do drugs all over the world every day. It doesn't take years of study and practice to drop a couple tabs.
Whoosh
Wow, do you offer autographs for purchase anywhere?
> the ~~sheer closed-mindedness~~ expression of personal agency ~~of refusing to try a particular drug~~ in choosing what one wants to do with one's own body
I tried LSD once! And I've never been so frightened for so long in my life. If I could go back in time and not do it, I absolutely would. I would 100% rather be wondering to myself what that drug is like right now than actually knowing what it's "really like."
Drugs aren't for everyone. If you don't want to try a drug, don't try it. Don't let some douche pressure you into it in the interests of being "open minded."
I tried it recently. Scariest night of my life. Still hard to think about for me.
As someone who does drugs, you're making it seem like you have to do drugs once in your life. Some people just don't wanna. Personally, I think certain drugs can be good in moderation. Weed, as well as certain psychedelics, can really make a person take a good hard look at him/herself as a person. You can be introspective without drugs too.
How dare you have an nuanced and realstic outlook on a complex subject, what about my feels? /s
No, it's not. Some people like being rooted in reality, and a bad reaction can happen to anyone.
I'd like you to try a suicide attempt so you can see what it's like.
Ok, not really, but when I put it like that perhaps you can realize that it's OK to not want to do something that others do.
And frankly people with that attitude worry me, as I can see them easily dosing some straight edger up "Just so they know." Which is wrong on many many levels.
I have you mass-tagged as a frequenter of /r/conspiracy. Explains a lot really.
Look nobody is telling anybody they can't try lsd ^^^^if ^^^^it ^^^^was ^^^^legal
The problem we have is you are proselytizing to people who just don't want it. Maybe they'll change their mind, maybe they won't, but you're not helping your case babbling about society controlling their feelings or some backwards "open-minded" nonsense. Simply put.
My brain is already fucked up enough, why would I want to disconnect from what little reality I have a grasp on?
So I'm closed minded for adamantly opposing the idea od shooting heroin?
I think it's close-minded to try to generalise a drugs effects like some people in the thread are. In truth if you took acid once you not going to see swirling lines and dancing monkeys for the rest of your life. I'm not advocating LSD use for the masses but it seems like a lot of people are confusing it with heroin. I feel like psychadelic drugs are a personal choice but it's not close-minded to choose whether you want to experience them or not. It would be arrogance for one side to look at the other in judgment considering one of them has no understanding of the drug and the other one has no understanding of not having the drug.
Once, my dentist gave me way too much laughing gas. I was tripping so many balls. I could see into several dimensions, hear several different frequencies, see three different colors of purple, and I was totally convinced that some sort of vibrating bug alien overlords were going to drink my spinal fluid. Oh, and I couldn't move. So the tech called my name for what seemed like hours, but was really three minutes. Basically to ask if it was too much. And once they turned it down, they put a wrench in my head, cracked my tooth in half, and pulled a it out of my head in pieces.
So, no. I will not try hallucinogenics again. Ever.
That sounds horrible.
They tried to numb my tooth, but it was so badly infected, I could still feel it.
That night, I dreamed the aliens vibrated out of the ceiling tiles in my bedroom and made pinpricks on the back of my neck. They told me they'd be back the next night to make them bigger. Thanks pain meds!
I don't have good experiences with drugs.
"I'm just here being productive in the real world" was snobby as fuck and dismissive of how others spend their leisure time. Both sides are incredibly annoying.
Just a bit, but that's how all the good popcorn is IMO.
The richest corn comes from the fields of complex issues and ethics.
... Reduced down to fourth grade recess levels of debate.
>Reduced
You mean "refined."
Thank you, I feel the only people taking heat are those advocating LSD in that thread, when both sides are being equally ignorant and obnoxious. Those who think themselves superior for NOT doing LSD are just as bad as those who think they are superior for doing it.
SRD has tried to be very contrareddit recently; reddit is known to be pro casual drug use, so y'know, gotta be all like fuck reddit despite how douchey each side is being.
Yeah, the hypocrisy in both the linked thread and these comments was making me tear my hair out earlier. I think it's time to take a break from Reddit...
I SAID I WOULD DELETE MY ACCOUNT TWO WEEKS AGO
WHOOPS NOPE
dang it it's a problem
lol because it is
To be fair his argument wasn't a very good one.
Why do some people care so much when other people don't take certain drugs?
I don't understand. I really don't.
Same reason people get into arguments with people who own the other console, shop at the other store, wait on sex until marriage, practice religion, et al: they want validation, when someone does something different they get defensive and feel like they have to defend their choices.

Um.. I don't smoke pot. Never have, never will. I voted to legalize it regardless.
I think drugs should stay illegal. I also have no desire to try drugs.
Oh, I like you.
You know who really shouldn't take acid? People who don't want to take acid. The anxiety alone will cause a bad trip and flip them out. People should just respect the life choices of others (like, say, not having kids, or not doing drugs, or waiting until marriage for sex, or whatever) but it seems to be a sticking point for a lot of folks.
Don't bring reason into this.. this is all about feels don't you know.

JUST BLAZE
Lots of redditors love recreational drugs. I was downvoted and corrected for suggesting that not everyone should use shrooms.
What if I just don't want to? What then?
Don't you understand, the 16 year olds who read some Thompson or Huxley are far more informed on the subject of drug use than a rational clear thinking sober minded individual. Trust me, i am le scientist.
>e Thompson or Huxley are far more informed on the subject of drug use than a rational clear thinking sober minded individual.
Don't counter jerk too hard now. At a certain point you're no better than them.
Sorry.. sorry... my penis got bent the wrong way. I'll go do some bong rips and chill out.
No bong rips until you finish your meth young man.
...aww but its not even the blue kind... all the other kids get the blue kind... why don't i!?!?!?!
you gotta work your way up to the blue kind.
This site can be fucking idiotic sometimes.
Especially when it comes to drugs and other personal decisions like kids and relationships.
> Lots of people love recreational drugs.
Fixed that for you. There's a reason they've been around thousands of years and people keep inventing new ones. People like drugs on average. From your morning coffee, to your bar whisky, to your neighborhood pothead, or even your overly medicated 1st world mental health patient they are represented in all walks of life.
Dude. Caffeine is still a drug, but it cannot be compared to LSD or shrooms.
End.
Dude. Side points are moot, drugs are drugs and most of them are taken for recreational purposes, you were probably downvoted for being semantic regarding the issue. Of course there's a difference between drugs but the MAIN POINT you raised about this being a "reddit" issue is just false. End.
I said
"drugs aren't for everyone".
so many semantics!
Considering your version of what a drug is I'd say so.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug
There you go.
> drugs are drugs
That's a ridiculous statement; taking an aspirin tablet is not in any sense equivalent to snorting a line of cocaine.
You didn't even read the post apparently.
>Of course there's a difference between drugs
Everything can be made to look ridiculous when you take comments out of context. Way to go!
If drugs are drugs than would you shoot up Krokidil?
That shit literally will rot your flesh off.

Whooops, my bad. Sorry man, deleted original. I'm in no state to be arguing on reddit right now.
Too much meth with your coffee, I understand. I prefer mine with PCP
People can justify it however they want but I wouldn't try LSD if you offered to pay me for it.
Seriously when did the idea that everyone should "At least give it a try" become so common?
Peer pressure. The internet is not safe from it.
When people started to want to justifiy thier own drug use.
You have no idea. Someone posted a vid of a couple smoking salvia--the guy defenestrates himself while the girl twitches and moans like a zombie--and I made some snarky 'not even once' comment and people were just all over me :"Duuude.You're being narrow minded. It's not usually like that. Those people were just unqualified."
The 60s?
> One time I did acid, I got completely consumed by the idea that so many people around the world will reach their deathbeds never having exprienced the visions and feelings I was currently feeling, I felt incredibly sad that these people would never know what beauty and wonder was capable through such a simple process. I felt like I needed to tell someone, anyone and everyone what they were missing out on, what their brains were capable of, if they just opened their mind and accepted it. After some time I realized I had been staring at the lines and curves morphing within the palm of my hand, such detail but on such a familiar thing as my hand, something I've seen everyday of my life but under these specific conditions it was simply fascinating to me. I looked up, into the bathroom mirror, the face staring right back at me with these deep, black pupils that stretched on for an eternity it seemed, how could I look away when this person was giving me his full attention, studying the curves and textures of his face. But it was my face, it was me all along.
>> Cool. Meanwhile I'm actually being productive with my life here in the real world.
Best response in the whole thread.
He got dunked on so hard it shattered both backboards.
boom shakalaka
what a shutdown. damn son.
Oh come on. Like he's being productive 100% of the time? It was a shitty and cliche response and I don't even do drugs.
Yeah everyone's telling the starter of the thread "don't let these drug-takers feel superior" when all the non-drug takers are being just as immature
So you think being high and staring at your hand is productive?
Why does everyone always have to be productive at all times?
Just like video games, or arts and crafts. Come on dude...
Arts and crafts you make something. Video games you accomplish someting at least.. Getting high and staring at your hands.. you get high and stare at your hands and apparently think cliche thoughts.
Honestly just a complete oversimplification of the drug experience. It's meant for fun - but no fun allowed apparently, lest you waste your life. That viewpoint is frankly ignorant.
Just as ignorant as "Everyone should get englightened by doing drugs." Isn't it?
I'm not arguing that point. The derisiveness to drug users - that's what I have a problem with.
Looked on that guy's comment page, seems like he frequents /r/battlefield_4, /r/dayz and /r/pcgaming a lot.
Y'know the real world.
I have nothing against video games (I play them from time to time), but if you're gonna make fun of someone for looking at his hand and admiring the detail instead of making a difference in "the real world" then you shouldn't be spending a good amount of your time playing video games.
stop having hobbies i don`t like
No, videogames and drugs are not similar.
Yo, I know where you coming from, but just think of it from like an objective viewpoint or whatever.
Okay, so say you take acid twice a month (a 2 week wait wait between lsd taking (12 hours) is more than likely)
And you play video games, every day for 3 days a week, which would be 21 days a week, times 7, which would be 84 hours a week, compared to 24 hours a month (2 times 12 hours, meaning 2 times a week times 12 hours). Y'know, I play video games a lot more than I've taken acid (about 5 times) so I feel like playing video games would put you out of reality more often than acid would.
It's chill though, I'm totally cool with you proving me wrong though, I won't be mad. This'll probably be what the future conversation is gonna be like.
I definitely understand how that argument can be made, but I think of it like this: I usually game for an hour or two, maybe three at a time, and I can shut down whenever I want. Acid, however, requires an 8 or 9 hour commitment. Also, the level of immersion with acid is waaay different than it is with games. I don't even think we can argue properly over the subject, the two things are just way to different.
Oh okay, dude. I understand.
I guess, I mean it's all about what we've experienced. Acid definitely does take a bigger time and mental commitment than video games, I'm just thinking in a purely like time standpoint.
Say even if you game 2 hours a day per month that'd still be around 60 hours while, I mean you can trip more than twice a week but it doesn't often happen, so say you trip twice a month it'd be about 60 hours a month.
I know it takes totally different mental capacities and you an quit at any time with video games, but with video games if you just compare it to lsd it takes a longer time per month than video games does, you get me?
I mean I understand with LSD you can't drive or I dunno, do anything that takes a lot of brain capacity with Acid, I'm just saying, the amount of time you're out of reality with video games is comparable or more than with acid.
but video games are something we do as a majority, so they are approved of as a majority.
Yay, let's go digging through comments for dirt.
Stay classy.
Dude, bro, I'm not trying to be unclassy or whatever.
Alright hear me out, I'm just trying to say that if someone is going as far as to say put down another person and saying they live in the "real world" then they should probably do something good for themselves or whatever.
They shouldn't be playing video games all the time.
I mean I obviously understand that taking drugs a lot is obviously not good, but if you think of it objectively they probably take an equal-ish amount of time out of your real life.
I mean entertainment is taking you out of real life for some amount of time.
My saying you're not classy has nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with digging through someone's post history looking for dirt.
Oh okay, yeah. I can see that.
Alright, I totally get you, I mean it I don't totally agree with you saying I'm not classy after just one thing I've done, but bear with me.
Usually if I'm responding to someone I won't dig through their post history (I mean this time I completely expected someone to dig through mine and say that I'm a bad person or whatever)
But When I dug through their post I was only intending to show their hypocrisy in how we all have our vices, y'know?
Like someone might spend half their time playing cod while someone might spend half their time taking acid and staring at the wall.
I can see how that would be unclassy, but I just wanted to point out how we're all, well, I mean I wanted to point out we're all hyprocrites, but we all waste time in the "real world"...That's what wasting time is.
That's fine, but not all of us "Waste time" with illegal activities. Don't get me wrong, I was one of the people who voted to lealize pot and I do play a lot of video games.
It's just that I can not and will not respect someone who shows little to no respect for other people. That is what irked me the most about the topic at hand.
Oh dude, I wasn't trying to disrespect anyone with what I was saying. I totally apologize if I did.
Okay, well personally I think we should all be able to do what we want, like if you really want to snort coke or stay up watching marathons on netflix with Meth than you should be able to.
I think we should all be able to just do what we want.
I think we had a miscommunication, I, personally, wasn't trying to disrespect anyone, I was just trying to draw a parallel of what people legally do and what people illegally do.
How's that? Is having fun with your free time now considered sub par? Your comment makes 0 sense and sounds like something out of a crappy anti drug promo and could be used to mock any free time activity of enough depth.
> productive with my life here in the real world.
Some guy named Steve Jobs took LSD once and said it was one of the defining moments of his life, but who cares what that goddamn hippie thinks.
Seriously I hate such dismissive crap, I really doubt Captain America up there really is making boatloads of cash or saving the world. Hell you can make the same dismissive argument about any work of Fiction or art, and we'd blast that as a STEM master race circle jerk.
Some guy named Steve Jobs also forwent western medicine and ended dying of a curable cancer too.
What's your point? Plenty of people can be introspective without having to toke up.
never have i ever tripped balls and had the attention span to do anything more than 5 seconds. when your thoughts are constantly flying by, its pretty hard to concentrate on anything.

If people don't want to do acid, it's their loss. Just like if they didn't want to try canoeing or going to a restaurant or drinking.
Except taking acid and going to a restaurant aren't remotely similar.
I don't think I've ever had a steak that gave me nightmares for the better part of the month.
