Your WEED is poisoned!

I don't take drugs lightly. I won't ever touch the stuff. I hope not even to drink. The only drugs I take are aspirin and prescription stuff. Nothing else thanks.   What really pisses me off about my dad's death is that I have two uncles that used drugs before my dad died and continue to use them, and they haven't died!! Sometimes that really throws me for a loop. They have done nothing with their lives while my dad had to die at the prime of his life at age 36 (plus he had a young family). Why is the world so weird and unjust that way?

My dad is an ex coke addict and an ex alcoholic. Sorry to hear it man. My Relationship with him will never recover, but ive got it pretty good man. dont sweat it, be a better man.

And man, can he ever play good when he's drunk (he has anxiety disorder, so he gets drunk before every show we play just so he won't be nervous a screw up. ). It's just strange.

Well despite what people say, it IS possible to use hard drugs in moderation without becoming addicted. Probably not for myself, but I have seen many people do it. Addiction is much more a psychological thing for most people than a physical thing, especially for drugs like cocaine and especially marijuana. I definitely have an addictive personality and have enough trouble with weed; I know if I ever used coke regularly I would probably very easily become addicted, because I have that predisposition. That's why I've never even tried coke or heroin. Psychological dependency is bad enough, I don't want to risk adding physical addiction to the equation.

Here's a MUCH better online version of the Dope Wars game - but you'll need a Java client to run it.

(You want the JRE - the 3rd download option)

 

Any difficulties, ask away - this version is definitely worth the hassle; I got my entire office shouting out about how much hash or heroin they'd scored, or the number of police they'd shot as the boss walked in...

How much money can you make?

I got up to just over £2,100,000 before I got arrested - with 6 days to go

Cocaine is physically addictive - nowhere near the level of heroin or nicotine, but more so than alcohol. The psychological addiction is very strong - especially if you like the artificial feeling of being everyone's best friend and a party animal.

The biz is full of drugs, addicts and wrecks - look at Shawn Ryder.

The biz also has a long roll-call of people who have lost their lives to drugs. Most of them are still alive

If you're in the biz for partying, then that's your trip.

If you're in it for MUSIC, then, if you must use drugs, USE drugs - never let them use YOU.

Before you take anything, ask yourself the simple question "why am I taking this?".

If it's because you just feel like it - a quick buzz to give a different angle to your MUSIC - then that's fine.

If it's because you want to get wasted, out of habit, because you feel pressurised, or some other trivial reason, and you're not really in the mood - then don't bother, although social considerations may be taken into account, as long as you don't feel that the only way to be socially accepted is to partake. You may feel a bit of an outsider for a relatively short period of time - but it's better than being an addict for the rest of your life.

Read Anthony Keidis' book "Scar Tissue". It's a bit of an eye-opener!

Doing drugs is sooo out of fashion

alcohol over prolonged use becomes mor ephysically addictive than even heroine....and cocaine is very mental but physiological also.

Don't smoke, vaporise!

Ho man, i definetly turn on vape, after 11 years of intense smoking.
I gave up tobacco and only vapourise pure w...
That's so much better: the taste is incredible, and the high is smoother and more cerebral.
After that, a joint tastes horrible!
The issue is to find a good vapo.

And mine really works nice ( a french product):
