So now he's a methodone (sp) addict?

Don't they give that to herion addicts to get them off it... only problem is that they become addicted to that instead... but apparantly it's not as bad...

Nope - but I respect him for his abilities to ride a bike... just wish he could do it "un aided"

Eh? Surely you don't think heroin or methadone constitutes some sort of performance enhancer? Last guy I knew who went bike riding off his face on gear (this was back in Scotland) forgot to wear his helmet and wrapped himself around a tree. Don't try THAT one at home, kids!

I had something to say back on page 11 but have since forgotten it.

For what it's worth: (feel free to skip to next person's message)

a) I was apparently hit (up)on by a lesbian chick in Pound over new years - only I'm so innocent I didn't notice. I thought we were just chatting...? (it was a bisexual friend who was there with me who pointed out the (un/dis/in)obvious when we went home)

b) One definition of drug is: a substance other than food intended to affect the structure or function of the body. Ipso facto: all drugs DO affect everyone who uses them - in some way (cellular is still an effect even if your nervous system doesn't register it in your cognitive mind). I'm full of sorrow for those of you who have had such horrible experiences, Jazbug, 750, and am a) amazed and b) glad that you feel comfortable enough to mention them here. (also to you PF - but I said that before)

c) I'm a very intuitive person, and rely on that intuition an awful lot (in regards to the way I read someone else's mood and respond accordingly). The only people who I can't "read" very well are those who are regular and high users (ha ha) of cannabis. What's with that?

d) PF - you go girl! (with regards to both far-reaching topic coverage and number of pages following off-mb-topic rant! Rispekt sistah!!!)

Drugs - everywhere.

I smoke cigarettes, occasionally drink alcohol, very rarely get drunk, drink heaps of caffeinated beverages - predominently coffee - drink V with its Taurine and Guarana but can't honestly say I feel any more alert or pepped up afterwards.

Yet, I don't like taking man-made medicines, cultured antibiotics etc whjen I'm sick. I have got to be pretty much in tears from a headache before I will take Panadol or Neurophen.

I tried pot when I was a teenager and didn't like the taste of it (I don't like whiskey, either and I've had friends cringe when they see me drink gin - "diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks"), have not and will not try "harder" drugs.

Do not like being out of control of myself, hence not getting drunk much these days.

Double standards? Most likely. Alcohol, caffeine and nicotine are all drugs, of which caffeine is arguably the least toxic or harmful (I won't go on at length but there's a great book called "Buzz" if anyone's interested in reading it. It explores the effects of both alcohol and caffeine and compares the former with other "recreational drugs")

I try to give up smoking and then slide back into it again because I enjoy it. Would rather sit down with a cigarette and a cup of coffee than drink most alcoholic beverages. Admittedly, the cigarette harms me possibly more than an alcoholic drink would, but if I had as many alcoholic drinks as I had cigarettes per day I would be unfit to work and would pose a serious risk to other people on the road.

Smoking is stupid and it harms me more than others (sorry, I don't buy into the PC bullshit that passive smokers are more at risk than someone actively sucking great gouts of smoke into their lungs in addition to "passively smoking" the unfiltered smoke from their own and other people's cigarettes) but to my mind, paying large amounts of money to criminals for home-made substances of unknown quality (like you can go to the Fair Trade people and say "my dealer sold me coke cut with powdered glass") that are known to cause psychotic outbursts (Angel Dust and P both qualify) is even stupider and more harmful all around.

No - you're right I don't... except possibly in his own mind.

Trees aren't very comfortable (or comforting). I have first hand experience of falling through a number of branches as a child - just after I was introduced to the concept of "don't climb on the rotten ones"

I learned that lesson really fast - accelerating at 9.81 m/s^2 in between hefty wooden "THWACK"s

Yeah, when smoking it, it feels like your brain is moving at 200kph and your thinking all these great ideas... and 5 minuts later you don't remember them... but long term smoking of weed, does affect your memory (Not sure if it's short term or long term... but either way I'm sure it's not good)... but oh well...
