So, I feel like I don't really have much standing to weigh in on this whole debate, which means I'll probably just sit back and keep reading everything you guys post with total interest.👍
I’m honestly so invested in all the advice being shared on here—it’s a lifesaver. I’ve got a 13-year-old daughter, and looking back... man, things were intense. A few years ago, a top producer over at ABC was actually selling drugs right in front of her school. It was just one of those things that hits you out of nowhere.

So, I was just sitting here thinking—and honestly, my brain goes to weird places sometimes—but isn't encouraging kids to use drugs actually illegal? Like, strictly against the law? I’m genuinely baffled that we’re even still having this conversation... it feels like such an obvious one, right?

So, I've actually got a question for Willie... would you ever tell your future kid to just go ahead and enjoy drugs if they really are that good?

Look, it's absolutely against the law, and frankly, I still can't wrap my head around how this forum has devolved into such a mess... I've been posting here for years and I have never seen anything quite this twisted: minors on an American message board. You've got moderators giving them advice on how to take drugs so they won't "feel any side effects," telling them to just "enjoy the ride," and even bragging about how much stuff they've handed out to other users... meanwhile, the poor souls who actually try to warn them about the law, their own life experiences, or the plain fact that drugs destroy lives get mocked by these kids. They get called "uncool" or outdated losers for being responsible. I seriously thought about just walking away from this thread entirely, but you know what? I'm fed up with seeing sane people back down just because some idiots are running the show. Then everyone acts surprised when parents are too terrified to let their kids go to school, the mall, or a club without worrying they'll run into some "cool" little street dealer... Drugs are everywhere because we basically let them be, and that is a pathetic reality.

amberorca192 said:Look, I don't regret a single moment I spent getting high. But man, do I regret every single time I stepped foot into a casino. I started playing poker back in sixth grade, and because of that habit, I ended up racking up about 300 unexcused absences before I even hit middle school.

So now when someone who’s never even touched a substance tries to pass judgment, I have to wonder: what exactly are they qualified to judge? I spent 15 years deep in it. I’ve tried every possible drug in every way imaginable. I’ve hit states of consciousness that most of these idiots talking trash don't even know exist. I’ve lived through things that only happen in that world, coming out the other side with enough life experience to offer a perspective—if only I were talking to someone who actually knew what they were talking about.

I'm curious, though. What’s this supposed "negative side"? What’s this whole stigma against addicts and narcophiles all about? I’d love for one of these keyboard warriors to explain why we're such easy targets for contempt. 🙂 And where does all this hatred come from? We aren't even throwing it at anyone else.

It’s even more fascinating watching people who have absolutely zero connection to drugs try to weigh in, basing their entire argument on nothing but assumptions.

Dropping a line like "the wise learn from others' mistakes, while fools learn from their own" is honestly one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this forum, and I've read over half the posts here. If I were being generous, I'd call that the quintessential "small-town guy in a trucker hat eating BBQ just because he thinks it's his birthright" kind of statement. 🙏 🙏 🙏

I’d love to sit someone down with 3x 120 microgram LSD and see where all that supposed wisdom, self-control, and those weekly trips to Mass come in handy for their psychological development as a devout Catholic.


You're introduced to LSD, and it's not like taking some other drug for instance
like marijuana or something, hm, well, you know, it's altogether a new thing,
and you actually can have a religious experience, and, hm, and it can be even
more important than reading the Bible six times or becoming a Pope or something
like that, you know...

Yeah, sure. You "seasoned" addicts show so much "love" to the kids by feeding them drugs and profiting off creating a whole new generation of junkies... and you know it. That’s why you flip-flop between "it’s amazing, perfect, I can't even explain it to rehab centers" and "I finally got clean, thank God." You deserve the contempt because you keep pushing product and expanding the circle of vulnerable kids. Even here, on this thread, you're trying to convince them that chemical brain games are just "gaining invaluable life experience."

amberorca192 said:It really does. There are people on this forum ten years younger than me whose first brush with drugs was LSD, and I actually suggested they take two tabs right away (my recommendation would have been three) because I know how people's minds work, and I figured their intelligence wouldn't let them get hurt... and that's exactly what happened. I got a message saying it wasn't even as big a deal as they thought it would be based on the hype.

There’s no crazier way to try to explain to someone what it’ll feel like to get high. First off, what happens is the placebo effect, where people start "experiencing" stuff just because of what they've heard. A classic example is coke, which in my opinion is the most pointless drug (unless it's high quality and taken IV 🙏), and it's easy to convince someone with zero experience (especially if they've been drinking) that they're snorting pure white powder when they're actually just inhaling some cheap trash they paid 400-$200 for.

Oh, beautiful. Apparently, on this forum, you don't just read advice on the best ways to get high—you can actually score through the moderators too. Fantastic! Why don't we just open a dedicated sub-forum with specific threads for every single type of drug, complete with price lists and meet-up spots? And let's definitely include a "student corner" where amberorca192 can prescribe exactly one, two, or three trips based on his own personal assessment of their IQ.

amberorca192 said:Seriously, you're such a joke, 🤣 acting like a total 🙏 🙏 🙏

He’s not a punk, actually... he grew up in San Francisco back when this city was basically synonymous with drugs, so he knows exactly what he’s talking about. Out of five family houses in my old neighborhood, two have sons who are addicts—supposedly they’re "clean" now, but whatever, they’re useless. They can't hold down a real job to save their lives unless they're pushing product. Three houses down, one girl managed to escape and get married; she works here and there now, but she picked up Hepatitis C along the way, which I guess in the euphoric world of junkies just counts as "moving on." In my old elementary school class, three kids went down the drain. One girl—who used to be an honors student studying vet med—I saw her last summer working under the table selling sandwiches at a fast-food joint; she’s barely eighty pounds and had the misfortune of not having wealthy parents, so I can only imagine how she ended up on drugs. The second guy is gone, dead, and the third one "works construction in Italy," which really means he showed up after a near-death overdose. High school? It’s the same stories over and over. I won't even list the kids from the neighboring classes; they just fall under the "anonymous locals" category. My cousin was a great kid, a bit high-strung, right? His parents had to sell their house just to pay off debts, and now he lives with his retired parents in a cabin out in the sticks, stealing from them constantly and scaring them half to death every time he heads into town. He did a little bit of drugs—everyone does, right? A little euphoria, whatever. Then there’s my good friend’s sister... twenty wasted, hollowed-out souls I see standing outside my house every single day in my new neighborhood. I even had five rounds of guys from the Retro center delivering furniture to me when I moved... and all this is coming from a Woman from San Francisco whose social circle never even touched weed, let alone anything else. So yeah, go ahead, you little kid from 80s San Francisco, declare him unqualified to talk about drugs and see who the real idiot is here...

It’s true, though. The ones whose parents have enough cash so they don't have to deal, steal, or prostitute themselves just to fund a habit usually fare a bit better. Now you just have to calculate what percentage of Americans have a few thousand bucks stashed away to bail a son or daughter out of trouble, paying for expensive schools and businesses to give them a "normal" life without a criminal record... versus the vast majority who end up with their mental and physical health trashed, teetering on bankruptcy—invisible statistics to most, but plain as day to anyone whose brain hasn't been fried by narcotics...

San Francisco was devastated by drugs and had to face the cold hard truth: you can only fight this evil one way, and that’s realizing everyone who thinks they're "too smart" to get hooked is actually a complete moron. It’s pathetic that people can’t learn from others' experiences; clearly, that kind of awareness only hits society once everything is thoroughly screwed up...

amberorca192 said:Arrogance is a virtue 🙏

Look, you're just full of prejudices. Is being an "addict" some kind of personality trait? It's like calling someone a "sports fan" 🙏

And why should I care about someone who's stuck? For crying out loud, everyone lives their own life. People can do whatever they want with it, and if they choose to use, they can look out for themselves. I've lost about ten friends to overdoses, and I didn't show up to any of their funerals—it's not like I forced them to OD.

So what am I supposed to do? Care? Of course drugs are good; if they weren't, people wouldn't be using them. At least drugs have an effect. Smoking doesn't really do anything, yet half the world is hooked on nicotine... but hey, that's fine because it's legal. Taking Xanax is fine too because it's legal, and as long as we're paying taxes on the meds, we can all just be Prozac nation 🙏

I told you straight up that I have plenty of opinions on drugs, and this idea that being clean equals being "good" is just plain stupid.

Nicotine isn't good either, and I don't see any reason why anyone would advise a minor to start smoking... comparing coffee to heroin makes zero sense, so I think we've exhausted those parallels.

The real problem is that your ten little friends can't even step up and explain to a kid that life isn't all sunshine and rainbows, especially since those of us who never touched drugs have nothing to say about it. 🙏

I'm glad you're doing well, healthy and wealthy... honestly, I am, because you're a decent guy. But I feel that same empathy that makes me wish no kid would ever start using drugs in the first place. Your argument that "you can't attack drugs, and I don't care about the kid because everyone manages their own life" is just garbage. You'd say the exact same thing to someone trying to share knowledge or experience about anything that might lead a young person down a bad path. So, your "insider" knowledge of drugs doesn't interest me at all; I'm just fascinated by how little you seem to care about anyone other than yourself.

amberorca192 said:Look, if tolerance wasn't a thing, nobody would ever bother stripping down, but how do you explain that to someone who thinks they know drugs just from watching movies or listening to old wives' tales?🤣

Another thing is, if drugs weren't cut with junk and were actually 100% pure, using them would be way "healthier." Nowadays, you don't even have 10% actual MDMA in an ecstasy pill, and the same goes for heroin. Coke holds up pretty well, though, and so does speed. LSD is just LSD—either you have it or you don't—it really just depends on how heavy the trip hits or how much is loaded onto each tab.

Arrogant and totally beyond words. Seriously. 🙏

I swear, you might be the first actual addict I've ever had a real conversation with in my entire life. 🙏

Screw you, screw this kid, and screw everyone else who got stuck in this mess... Thank God you’re finally out of it and now the drugs actually work. 🙏

amberorca192 said:I go to school and I'm a chemist by trade.🙏

Yeah, sure, you should probably know you can lose weight with gymnastics too.🙏

Honestly, I highly doubt gymnastics can replicate the feeling of injecting 0.3 grams of cocaine straight into your bloodstream. If you actually tried to chase that feeling through calisthenics, you'd realize how underwhelming it is compared to the real thing. If you enjoy sex and orgasms, trust me, you'd love this stuff.

It’s easy to judge something when you have zero clue what it's actually like. It's easy to talk trash about drugs when you haven't tried them, but once you do, the whole perspective shifts.

It's like riding a motorcycle. People see us tearing down the highway and think we're idiots, but if they actually hopped on a bike and felt the rush, they'd get why we ride like maniacs.

Sure, I'd save maybe half a million or a million bucks, but who cares when you've got the money?🙏

And you're claiming this supposedly bumps up serotonin levels for people who are running low 🤣 🤣

Oh, come off it, Willard, stop playing the hero... You managed to crawl out of that hole only after losing a massive amount of cash and giving your family a heart attack. Seriously, save that fairy tale about chemical orgasms for a bunch of seventeen-year-olds. Everyone knows drugs manipulate brain pleasure—that's exactly why people get hooked. Curiosity, bad crowds, trying to prove something, pure arrogance... You've still got plenty of that arrogance left. It's clear you're just desperate to explain how much "fun" you had so you can convince yourself you aren't just another loser who fell into the trap and stayed there.🙏

amberorca192 said:Into what? Getting sucked into what?

If you're talking about heroin addiction, the thing is, I had a pretty skewed perspective on it. Even though I had plenty of experience with other stuff when I first started using heroin, I also knew people who had been on horse for ages. As for the addiction itself... man, you wouldn't believe how long it took for it to actually grab me. Because it happened so slowly, I thought I was fine since I didn't have issues when I stopped. But once it hits? Getting clean is brutal. Thank God I made it out, but I don't regret a single day of using any drug. I've lived through enough stuff that I couldn't even explain it to people who currently use, let alone someone who hasn't touched anything in their life.

As for the kid, the way he ends up wanting to use is pretty damn rare. 🤣

But that's nothing compared to what a few rare people have written on this thread, and honestly, I feel bad for them. Acting like they know everything, especially in the way some people here do, is just pathetic. Though, seeing people like that is actually helpful—if you ever think you're doing poorly in life, seeing these guys would make you feel a lot better.🙏 🙏 🙏

And then you act all surprised, like "Oh, thank God you got clean!" 🤣

amberorca192 said:So you're commenting on something you have zero firsthand experience with. It's great hearing this from someone who’s supposedly a highly educated professional in the making. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Based on that last sentence, I'm guessing you think we all have the exact same serotonin levels and all that crap, so everyone always feels great. 🙏

I've been using for 15 years, so I wouldn't exactly say I haven't lived much.

What are you guys even doing with these brainless comments? Does this come from some deep sense of justice and Care, or are you just talking nonsense because it's easier to act all positive and self-righteous? 🙏 🙏 🙏

Listen, genius—if you weren't busy getting high and actually went to a university, maybe you'd learn that you can boost your serotonin just by hitting the gym. 🙏 You’d save a hell of a lot of money, too. 🙏

Douglas Diaz3 said:you can see he's gone, probably because the principal gave the parents a heads-up🙂)))

Thank God someone actually reported him... a little bit of trouble now does a massive favor for his future self👍

Honestly, I still can't wrap my head around the fact that we have minors on this forum being publicly told which drugs to take and how much to dose... people are absolute morons, it's just not right! It’s not just illegal, it’s straight-up brainless and morally bankrupt...

cosmicskipper55 said:With all due respect to this gathered group of educators and enthusiasts, I find it hardly surprising that seventeen-year-olds are turning to amphetamines if their parents are as informed or perceptive as those assembled here. Rather than recognizing that it is more prudent to explain harm reduction to a young man intending to use drugs so he doesn't kill himself on his first attempt, you all seem preoccupied with competing over which comment can be the most provincial and outdated. Please try to grasp, just once, that if a child—including your own—decides to use drugs, they are going to do it regardless. Period. And if they are determined to go through with it, it is far better that they understand what they are consuming. The person who started this thread did the best thing possible, even if they chose the wrong venue.

Regarding the topic at hand: Frank (?), if your friends are on speed and you want to stay "alert around 2 or 3 in the morning," your best bet is to take half an ecstasy pill. Since this is your first time, it will likely hit you with full force, but if you don't feel anything after two or two and a half hours, take the other half. It is probably best not to exceed that for a first timer. Ecstasy pills usually contain speed anyway, so you’ll get the dancing and the talking, but you'll also experience that specific "high" that pure speed lacks. (By the way, you should always try to avoid speed; it’s essentially a drug for American housewives trying to lose weight, failed athletes, and idiots.)

Drink plenty of fluids and enjoy yourself. 🙂

If you require further details, send me a private message.

The best move for him is to take zero "pills," just like he should every single time from now on...

It’s just great having a forum where the moderators are "explaining" to minors how to best dose their drugs. 🤣

Someone needs to scrub this disgrace, and maybe draw cosmic_skipper55 a diagram so they can actually grasp reality for once...

Inkvizitor said:yeah.. but in Mexico...😬

Did some crooked moderator just slap him with another ban? 😲 😁

Lawrence Bailey66 is back in the building!!!! 😍 😍 😍

Captain Crunch said:Let’s move away from the prayer talk and stick to the topic. Please, just focus. 😁

Talking about food drives and healing the poor and neglected as some big metaphor for universal healthcare? To me, that reeks of communism. And preaching that everyone gets through the pearly gates? That flies right in the face of traditional faith where there are actual rules about who gets into the temple. It’s all just more metaphors about how the powerful and the wealthy shouldn't control people's lives, equality, and all that nonsense.

I’m starting to lose my faith that he was even a conservative.

Oh, please... no way... healthcare wasn't meant for everyone, it was only for those who believe... 😁

Jacob Allen said:... seriously, give me a break. 😁 ..anything can mean anything if you squint hard enough. :kirin:
Honestly, I could probably sit here and write a whole dissertation—I’d need to pull out my entire library of knowledge just to explain it—about how words like "argument," "thesis," or "premise" get tossed around in the third stage of these so-called Forum debates. These things, which some people honestly call "polemics," are nothing more than empty noise. They have zero actual weight.
Even the guys over at the Ivy League universities would blush seeing how people misuse logic and rhetorical tricks on certain subforums while claiming they're being intellectual. 😳

Look, I’m not interested in preaching my views here—heaven forbid—and I definitely don't owe anyone an explanation or a defense. And I certainly don't feel the need to ask... what exactly counts as a "low blow"? I’m perfectly fine staying in the dark on that one. It’s easier that way. If someone thinks they've spotted one, that's their business, not mine.
I don't want to sink to the level of typical internet trolling folklore, but yeah... I will flame someone every single time I see one person getting attacked while another person is being silenced. If I feel weak enough to react like that, I will. That's just how I operate.
Besides, where does it say that people who spend years posting thousands of messages—which adds up to at least thirty minutes of their lives every single day—aren't just fundamentally dissatisfied people? Whether it's their social standing, their jobs, their families, or just general life struggles, or maybe they're just at that age where they desperately need to prove something, even if it's just through this virtual nonsense. There's nothing wrong with polishing your ego a little bit, even in a place like this.

As for moderating these Forums? I don't know anything about it, nor do I know what one would even need to know to do it. All I know is that it's damn hard to moderate yourself. If someone doesn't realize that, yet feels entitled to throw dirt on everyone else—and it's obvious too—they'll try to wrap it up in a fancy "premise, thesis, and argument" just to reach a conclusion where they're right. Look, Keith James812... if I actually wanted to deal with that headache, I'd do it for a paycheck.
The way it is now, it's all just unpaid labor, like serving in the military. Maybe the Forum just decided to take a stylistic turn or something. 🙂

And of course...🎉

...edit... I'm not trying to be brief. Hey, Keith James812, since Maria Barnes showed up, I think I'll just step aside. We can keep this conversation somewhere else...👍

Unda... try explaining in one single sentence why you're nominating Michael Adams2 😎 😁 😁

Jacob Allen said:Keith James812, man, you're telling me

😁

..besides that, we're missing all the data from 2001 and 2002. 🎉

So, what you're saying is you used to hang out just to read Michael Adams2, since he was way more active on the Forum back then😁 and then, after scrolling through the politics subforum, you'd jump off and drop a hundred posts in other sections? 😁 Yeah, okay, that makes sense... if only Sulja were here to cut the power lines. 😁

No, honestly, I’m just annoyed because I can see you pivoting toward these low blows. Looking at this from the outside, it feels like since you can't find any actual facts to support your claim that Michael Adams2 is a desperate moderator, you're just trying to get a rise out of people by whining about "forum etiquette." Look, Michael Adams2 hasn't lost his touch, but that doesn't mean you aren't just straight-up trolling right now. 😁

Jacob Allen said:..there you go, Maria Barnes, look at the moderator in action.

..honestly, what can I even say? This Forum actually serves a massive educational purpose. It’s basically a training ground where you take a total troll or some flame-throwing jerk and mold them into a loyal moderator—someone who’s ruthlessly obsessed with the truth and has this uncanny, subtle knack for sniffing out hidden aggression before it explodes. Especially when they’re handed all the technical tools to do the job.

..so how could you *not* compare this place to others? I mean, we've seen people moderating over at Reddit, or those old-school message boards, or wherever else, including Maria Barnes and a bunch of others I can't even wrap my head around right now. It’s genuinely fascinating to watch this Forum evolve. Watching the shift from how things used to be versus how they are now—in terms of quality, actual wit, coherence (which is the word everyone uses here whenever they're tearing a post apart), and just the basic ability to actually articulate a thought.

But fine, whatever. Whether anyone actually stops to think about what they want from this place—be it just some mindless commercialized digital chatter or an actual attempt at a high-quality exchange of information—that’s not on me.
If you guys want to keep this "debate" going in the exact tone and style intended for this thread to be moderated, be my guest... just leave me out of it. I'm out.

So, what's the word with you? Did you finally find some semblance of happiness, or is everything still just a total mess?

Same old story... actually, things have gone downhill. Now I don't even have my chicken anymore... Look, it’s not like I’m losing sleep over being single, but that chicken... man, I'll never get over that loss.

Hey, Lawrence Bailey66... what's the latest scoop on the whole hospitality scene? 😁 😁 😁
