Parodites wrote:Artists are into opiates, not stimulants. Coleridge, Nietzsche, Shakespeare, Proust: Opium. Entire romantic movement: Opium. Hendrix: Opiates (heroin). Opiates are the thinking-man's drug. Opiates are the great inspirant. They had a hand in every master-work, from music to literature to even philosophy. They draw off the veil of things, they intuit the... emptiness of time, and matter... the emptiness of feeling; the emptiness of all things except for Thought, which alone is real. All other drugs distort, but opiates give you a tabula rasa, a void, a blank slate that you can pour anything you want into... and the more of your soul you pour into it, the more you need to get that soul back, until you get to where I am, and all you're doing is eating pills and shooting up to see a little glimpse of your own Soul, of your own... everything that you are. If you have that, not even Death can scare you; if you are without it, then only the thought of Dying can bring you peace. Anyway, I fucking hate stims. Only thing it's good for is marathon jerking off sessions alone in your room. Only time I ever jerked off more than once in a day (5 times) was: amphetamines. Fucking disgusting piece of shit low-life drug, both coke and meth. Just jerking and fucking and cumming, that's all it is. To be honest: I hate that shit.
I agree with you that stims are junk (although black coffee is OK). But to say that opiates are the "great inspirant" is a bit ridiculous. Nietzsche was obsessed with his physical health in terms of diet, exercise, and climate... always trying trying to fine tune things...which isn't to say he didn't experiment or oppose experimentation...but he was no junkie (not that I'm calling you a junkie by any means). You're painting a very rosy picture of opiates that fails to mention how regular use can negatively impact one's memory (which is a big negative). Any drug that decreases the sharpness of one's memory should be approached cautiously. Marijuana is absolute junk in this regard (besides alcohol of course). I've done a lot of drugs and in the end I always came to the same conclusion: they are a passive and rather pathetic way of testing one's internal constitution, which in the end leaves you feeling sick and gross when the effects have subsided. I've only done one drug that left me feeling SOBER and refreshed (like I had just finished a good run ) when the effects were over and that's 5-meo-dmt. Marijuana, coke, opiates, lesser psychedelics, alcohol (perhaps the worst thing you can put in your body besides huffing paint)... ALL leave you feeling gross...That said, when you're young and full of life you almost feel compelled to test the limits of your health.. Ideally, the experimentation with these junk drugs shouldn't last too long... Dionysus only gets drunk on water...
I don't have any neurological disorder, but after not leaving a single room for 16 years now, I am pretty sure a few screws have come loose. But I'm also addicted to opiates, barbituates, benzos, and I'm an alcoholic. If I skip a dose on any of those (especially the opiates and boozen) then I get very, very sick. And when I posted in here the other day I was on all four of those substances, plus I'd shot myself up with opana. Ever had opana intravenously? It is one of only a few opiates that surpass heroin on the euphoria index. FUCK ME it is awesome. What was it, 20 something shots of Jameson, 2 grams of Carisoprodol, 4 grams phenobarbital, 145 mg of Oxycodone, 60 milligrams of Vicodin, intravenous Oxymorphone, yeah I think that was it. I'm trying to think... Yeah I think that was it. I write down all my doses in a bullet journal to keep up with my meds. Anyway, so I was so loaded I am pretty sure I actually died for a few minutes yesterday. So I can't actually vouch for what I said at the time. Maybe I'm dead right now.
That's almost unbelievable. You must have built up a tremendous tolerance to alcohol and opiates for that not to kill you... Because that would kill most average drinkers and opiate users.
