dont do drugs

The origins of the imperative, "know thyself", are lost in the sands of time, but the age-old examination of human consciousness continues here.

I’m lucky I never became an addict (of hard drugs). I only did pot & acid (apparently some with meth) in mid/late teens, but I live in a very drug-trafficked area. I was afraid to try coke.

I’m glad I never did, and that the meth in the acid didn’t get me addicted quickly like it apparently does some people.

Are you clean or getting clean? I know some who were able to get out of it & chase something else. It for sure happens & is possible, though I’ve heard some call it a miracle.

Yeah to be honest I think there was crack in it. Hard to eliminate that from ones system, seems to have permanent impact on ones contact with the soul.
I should probably take your advice though.

^^^It all makes sense now.. like an imprint -left behind- on a windless desert floor, but pertaining to the psyche.. of which only the astute/in-tune can perceive the tell-tale signs, in themselves or in others.

I would say “No”, but I know a few people whose minds and sanity were destroyed by weed and hash, so it’s certainly not for everyone - those modern strains are lethal, yo.

I’d rather do opiates than synthetics, if I was ‘that way’ inclined. But Jakobs experience explains buzzy-bee’s overly-overt psyche and pushily-trite-character, perfectly.

I didn’t do enough drugs for it to mess me up — which can be reversible, due to brain plasticity & CBT — and the issues you have with me (yours, quite frankly, although if you are ever specific enough, I am willing to reconsider) preceded my experience with substances.

Yes drugs will eventually cause your spirit to leave your body. But what will you do about that?

Are you strong enough to get it back? That is the only question.

If you didn’t get it in the first place, getting it back ain’t a you thing, either. Except the faith thing…which is like saying you can save yourself from drowning without an arm reaching down to pull you out of the water. Unless there IS an arm. Was it your faith that pulled you out if there is no arm, though?

The arm respects consent.
