Senna is basically in a league of his own. Every single summer, he's my go-to for road trips, blasting all those massive American dance hits. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Morgan Williams4 said:You nailed it!!!!!! You’re basically equating cancer patients with addicts—comparing people fighting for their lives to people who just can't handle themselves! So what, since I had cancer, I guess I should have just died so you junkies could have a better time!!!!!

Nah, maybe I didn't word that quite right. What I'm saying is I don't see any reason why one person gets treated and another doesn't, regardless of the diagnosis. Your personal history doesn't change my point; the government didn't foot the bill for a single one of my treatments—I paid out of pocket. If you've got an issue with addicts getting access to Hepa or Subutex, feel free to take it up with Medicare.

Supposedly, it was banned because the authorities realized just how dangerous it actually is. People were becoming—well, more awake. 🙂

Before anyone decides to crucify me for saying this, please remember that there are two sides to every coin. I'm not denying that drugs can be harmful, not at all (that's the dark side), but sometimes I really wonder why it's ACTUALLY prohibited.

"I believe with the advent of acid we discovered new way to think and it had to
do with piecing together new thoughts of mind. Why is it that people think it's
so evil? What is it about it that there is scares people so deeply? Because
they are afraid that there is more to reality than they have ever confronted.
That there are doors that they're afraid to go in and they don't want us to go
in there either because if we go in, there we might learn something that they
don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control." - Ken Kesey (the guy who wrote "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest")

Otherwise, credit where credit is due to those here who have actually overcome drug addiction. I'm not going to beat my chest because I DIDN'T go through that, nor am I going to judge, spit, fight, or look down on anyone. Who am I to do that? Who is ANYONE to act superior over another person?

Pure hypocrisy, that's what it is.

But fine, I'll risk being characterized by (some) as some backward person stuck in the past—it hurts, but I can't stay quiet.

Nowadays, you aren't even allowed to argue about anything because political correctness—and no, I don't mean personal computers—has ruined everything. Today, everything is an insult to someone, and everything is just "someone's lifestyle choice," a part of a culture that shouldn't be touched lest its "authenticity" be threatened.

That's why Scientologists and Jehovah's Witnesses defy medicine, and why today, the fun for losers whose brains have been eaten away by boredom consists of drugs, brawling, hooking up, and stuff like that.

Nobody is saying everyone has to spend their lives honing talents or figuring out how to be more successful tomorrow. Nobody *has* to be a conformist and think about having a family with two kids, a Golden Retriever in the yard, and a BBQ every weekend if they don't want to.

But you can kiss my ass before I start nodding along to morons like the OP, whom I am 150% certain is a TROLL, starting a discussion that clearly has no end just because "what's the harm in arguing if I haven't tried drugs?"

I don't need to try it (taking psilocybin once is a nothingburger, and I'd insult people who actually had to struggle with real issues if I claimed I had "tried" it). I drank enough when I was a teenager to tell you today that it's crap; I've seen people spin roulette for 35 minutes and bleed out up to 60,000 Euros. With my own damn eyes, I saw a man lose 140,000 Euros at the roulette table. I personally put down 20 $0.00 and lost it all within the next 3 hours.
I spent nights in casinos at the roulette table, and so what? Should I say it was actually great because, hey, there's this awesome adrenaline rush that's better than sex?

That’s total bullshit. Every single addiction is bullshit. A habit involving cigarettes, your morning coffee, and the newspaper isn't going to kill anyone. But heroin? That ruins lives. Honestly, thank God and pure luck that some people are actually here with us today instead of six feet under. I know for a fact that Will is a solid guy—from what I’ve gathered through this forum and hanging out at a party once or twice.

But just because I'm saying this doesn't mean I'm afraid of looking unrefined. I’m speaking up because I don't think I am. I don't judge a person based on whether they used drugs, gambled, drank, or whatever other mess they got into in their past.

I truly don't give a damn.

But man, if I'm reading today's social etiquette correctly, you have to be careful not to accidentally mention that drugs are garbage. Apparently, if you haven't personally tried them, you don't have the right to an opinion. Look, I agree 100% that you shouldn't judge PEOPLE in a condescending, knee-jerk way. But saying drugs are shit isn't about attacking someone's character; it's about the fact that they lead to social isolation and self-destruction in every aspect of life. It might not happen in every single case, but it's definitely happening more often than with a cigarette or a cup of coffee someone knocks back while grinding through an eighty-hour work week.

Cheers.

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...

Charles Young said:I wouldn't have any issues with beta or the delta, but when it comes to LSD itself... 🤣

Use with caution 🙂

The Mississippi Delta, for sure... just go ahead and 🤣 use Google

So what, you think I should actually respect Morales and drop $50 just because he was someone important twelve years ago? Please. Even if Infected Mushroom played music I still listen to today, if they were playing a free show right now, I wouldn't bother showing up. They’re nothing special anymore, and their past hits don't mean squat to me. Why the hell should I respect someone who basically built the foundation for AOL Instant Messenger when his whole "underground" scene is stuff you can't even hear in bars, radio stations, or clubs unless some specific group of people decides to organize something rare?

restlessmarlin6 said:Exactly. LSD has absolutely zero physical impact on the body like most other drugs do (you know, stuff that hits your nerves or cardiovascular system).
It just pushes your consciousness down toward the delta frequency 🙂 (since we usually hang out in beta)
If I remember correctly, it was perfectly legal for about 30 years.

LSD stayed legal until the late 60s. The CIA used it heavily in their own testing (just use Google to find more 😉), and half of Pfizer was basically riding the wave after they discovered it. It was tested extensively on smart people—artists, psychiatrists, you name it—specifically because of how it shifts consciousness. That’s where "Delta" comes from, which is why it's such a staple in Goa trance music for inducing trances.

Anyone talking trash about this stuff without ever having tried LSD is just a total moron in my book. Even for anyone with an ounce of education or a psyche deeper than the trance you get at a Thompson's concert, it's easy to see the value.😉

restlessmarlin6 said:Look, I was talking about addiction.
Smart people get hooked and idiots get hooked. Being unable to control your own state of consciousness or failing to find an interest in life usually has nothing to do with how sharp your mind is.

I wasn't trying to contradict you, I just brought it up after you quoted him regarding whether LSD addiction or tolerance exists (it does, but it's temporary—meaning if I drop 200 micrograms of LSD right now, another 200 five hours later won't hit me the same way)🙂.

And sure, heroin addiction might not depend on intellectual capacity, but it's definitely true that smarter people can get pulled in harder simply because they’re more prone to experimenting.

Look, there are people here in New York City from California who I know have been in the trance scene for like ten years now. Even then, you can't really say NYC even has a decent scene—it’s maybe 200 people if you count anyone at all. Honestly, it's better that way if you ask me. Is it even possible to obsess over something for a decade if you don't actually love it?

There are a few freaks like us who are obsessed with Goa trance, even though that sound is basically extinct. Whatever they're playing now that claims to be its successor is just an insult to the name.

And then there's Morales... so today I'm heading to work and listening to some local radio station, and they play these clips of Morales talking about celebrities he thinks are cool—Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, that pig Björk, and so on. Then the DJ goes, "This Saturday from 8 to 9 AM, you can listen to an interview with the BEST DJ in the world, David Morales." I can already see those posers who act like, "Oh, I'm going to a Morales set, wearing my flashiest designer gear, showered and perfumed just for this, because everyone who matters is gonna be at the club to show off." Seeing them makes me genuinely glad that I'm just a regular nobody compared to those types—people who will spend the next ten years talking about what was "in" back then, saying stuff like, "Man, remember when I went to a Morales set at the club ten years ago? That party was legendary."

🤮

restlessmarlin6 said:So why on earth do you think you'd get addicted?
Do you really think there isn't anything better in your life than those drugs? 😉

Personally, I've never messed with heroin, but I've been around most drugs.
Fine. But definitely not enough to get a real rush. 👍

I won't quote him directly... since he brought up LSD, it’s worth noting that when people talk about "getting hooked," there's actually zero tolerance built up with LSD (meaning you don't need five times the dose after five years to feel the same thing). Plus, it doesn't cause any kind of addiction whatsoever. Still, we're talking about the most potent psychoactive substance out there—and hey, it turns 64 this year (give or take five years from when it was first used).

restlessmarlin6 said:👍 Truth.

The thing is, some people just don't get it. It’s exactly like riding a motorcycle. Anyone can hop on one, but how you handle it is what matters. Take 100 people from this forum, give them all the exact same bike, and let them rip through the canyons outside of LA—you'll see who actually enjoys the ride, who struggles just to stay upright, and who quits after five minutes. There’d be at least a 20-second gap between the fastest and slowest riders. Well... drugs work the same way.

restlessmarlin6 said:As long as drugs are strictly for recreational use—then it’s fine.

Is it absolutely good or bad? I honestly can't say.
It might be a great way to blow off steam, it could expand your consciousness, or it could completely wreck you.

From what I've seen—it's usually the people who don't care about anything, the ones who don't find any actual fulfillment in most things they do, who end up getting messed up. It doesn't have anything to do with how smart or stupid someone is, or their IQ, or whatever...

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.

If you people who don't touch anything even came close to realizing how many people are actually using—whether it’s legal stuff, illegal stuff, or just people messing around with certain substances—your little bubble of perceived safety would pop so fast it’d be a beautiful sight to behold. Trust me, until you're actually in this world, you'll NEVER believe someone is high until you see them standing right next to you at the local corner store where you buy your gear. And that's not even mentioning the other stuff out there.

Angela Wright said:Pardon my French, but you are a complete loser! My keyboard is practically crawling with the nonsense being spewed by you and people just like you.🙂

Look, since you’re such a genius, why don't you give me some advice? How about telling me how to convince the bureaucrats at Medicare not to lie to my mother and others fighting brain tumors? How do I make them stop denying her another dose of Temodal? They claim it doesn't work for recurrences, yet we have top-tier specialists sending us interpretations from Houston confirming it's the only way to help her and that it's standard practice everywhere else in the world—except here, in this pathetic excuse for a country where Medicare wastes money on losers like you who think they know the "right" way to get high, providing massive payouts for methadone once you realize you screwed up and got hooked, not to mention all the useless institutional therapies, psychologists for you and your family, and all that other garbage!

See, you moron, my mother didn't choose her illness, but you and your kind choose yours, and then you still get to play the "poor victim" to get assistance that my mother can only dream of!

I’m all for legalization, but if we go that route, I’m also for cutting off all government assistance for addiction. Go get high until sunrise for all I care.🙂 🙂

Go screw yourself, you little brat.😉

It’s not that you aren't smart, you're just bitter. And honestly? I just feel sorry for people like that.😘

What makes your mom, or anyone else who is sick, more deserving of therapy than an addict? Is it based on your vision of "everyone is responsible for their own mess"? By that logic, even veterans with PTSD are just their own fault for lighting themselves on fire. Who forced them to defend the country just so some punks could go out and get high? If you actually knew how many of those guys ended up on drugs—and not just the good stuff, but actual prescription meds—maybe you wouldn't be talking this much trash.

But like I said, you're bitter, so I get it. And don't be mad at me; I don't hate you. I just have a very direct, raw way of posting.🙂

Keith James812 said: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...

I can see you're full of empathy, so tell me, do you actually know what being an addict means? Do you think addicts are inherently evil people, or are they mentally unstable individuals who found drugs and saw them as salvation? Doesn't it seem to you that we're all looking for some kind of salvation today? Some find it in gardening, some in collecting old toy cars, some in sex, some in drugs, etc. So who are you to judge why we use? You only know about it through stories. I'd love to see you try cocaine and heroin on a needle ten times before you start judging how it's not good. It's easy to bang on the table and act smart when it's someone else's problem.

Believe me, I have WAY more experience with addict friends than "two neighbors were addicts," so you don't need to explain what it means to me. I could explain what it means when a 17-year-old heroin addict goes out "looking." I'd put my balls on the anvil and take a hit from a hot iron if 75% of the people on this forum wouldn't vomit seeing where one of those kids ends up trying to hit. And you think that person is an idiot? No, they aren't, because I know people who are fucking brilliant (there are idiots in every walk of life) who ended up there. And again, it's easy to judge all this from the warmth of your home and the comfort of your keyboard and monitor.😉

dustypilot22 said:These three rare comments are particularly interesting to me.

I honestly can't wrap my head around how someone who has been through the hell of drug use can feel happy or even proud of having done it—or even happier about successfully quitting. There seems to be such a deep need to glorify the high and one's drugged states.

It especially stands out to me when they claim they felt great and "really lived" while under the influence.

The truth is, you might just be experiencing an ILLUSION (which is usually just a side effect of the drugs) that life is good.

From an outside perspective, with a clear mind, a user is perhaps the most pathetic creature on earth.

Two snapshots come to mind:

-I'll never forget my friend Top while we were sitting there buzzed in front of a record store, and one guy ends up in a semi-coma. Friends are crowding around him, trying to call him back to reality. But Top, looking totally wasted himself and having plenty of experience, just shouts to them:
"Just leave him alone. You have no idea how good he feels right now."

-Last night at Times Square, two guys are sitting near me, completely out of it. One is watching tourists and tour guides, lamenting how much he'd love to do that job since his English is native-level, before pivoting to talk about how the first floor of St. Patrick was the hardest part to build and everything else was easy. The other guy spends the whole time texting, occasionally swallowing saliva that keeps leaking from his half-open mouth.

Tomorrow, they'll tell everyone what a great time they had. 😁

And how much they "lived" while they were using. Especially if they manage to get clean.

Wait, what do you think people do drugs for? Because it's bad? Please. If you know what you're doing, being high is the big leagues.

I'm not going to bother commenting further after seeing your post. Just tell me what your actual experience with drugs has been, then maybe we can talk. There's no point debating someone whose arguments are built entirely on assumptions. That's like trying to debate a political science professor about how much I care about the exchange rate in Trinidad and Tobago.

Keith James812 said: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.

Look, people who have never even wanted drugs should be the ones giving advice. If someone decides to go down that path, a post on a forum isn't going to stop them, but you can at least suggest a way to handle it when the time comes. 🙂

Your other post is idiotic. If my friends had the kind of experience I have now fifteen years ago, and if they could have learned it from me back then, maybe—just maybe—they wouldn't be six feet under right now.

I'm not looking to push anyone toward drugs. Drugs aren't for everyone, even though anyone *can* use them. Just because anyone can train in MMA doesn't mean they'll become a Fedor Emelianenko or a Mirko Cro Cop. Similarly, some people can use drugs heavily for 15 years like I did and come out the other side feeling almost new. I won't pretend it didn't take a toll; my body is trashed from extreme use, but I got lucky with my genetics. My system handled it, and since I stayed active with sports while I was using (weird as that sounds), the training helped balance things out.

If I could judge someone before they ever tried anything, then maybe I could offer suggestions. But I'm definitely not an opponent of drugs, purely based on my own experience. If I were born again and given a choice, I'd do it all over again. I'm not an addict; I'm a drug lover. And to be a drug lover, you need a genetic predisposition. I know people who waited five or six years before touching heroin, yet they ended up having worse withdrawals than I ever did.

Everything I write on this forum is strictly for education. I'm 100% sure that 99% of the anonymous people here wouldn't dare write what I write. So, even if nobody gives a damn about what I have to say, I'll keep posting on this forum (I used to have a blog about it too). I'll always be here to help someone or share what I've been through.

I'm not against drugs, but I'm also not saying they're for everyone.

This Saturday morning, between 8 and 9 AM, there’s an interview on KEXP with the best DJ on the planet... I'm expecting nothing less than technical perfection on at least four turntables 🙏 🙏 🙏

Of course, they're talking about Morales 🙏 🙏 🙏

And for all you LSD lovers and Goa trance heads out there, it's time to show up at the local club for a Goa trance party. Come join about a hundred other fanatics who'll be dancing on acid 😍 😍 😍

Amanda Booth said:Man... what did this all turn into? Just people bickering over girls? Isn't music supposed to be the main event?
By the way, I'm originally from California (even though I work in New York City), and honestly, some of those comments about Cali girls felt a little personal... but hey, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, I guess...
If I'm heading out to a show, I'm definitely not going just to hunt for a guy!!! I'm going to soak up the music (Morales certainly isn't the one for that! 👎 ), dance my heart out, have fun, and hang with friends... all that PLUR stuff that used to be the core of it, which some people actually still live by 😘
And honestly, trance is just something else... at least for me 🙂 ...there's this specific energy among the crowd... like everyone is mentally connected... you see these subtle smiles on people's faces... something you don't see much in the club scene lately... mostly everyone is just stuck in their own frantic, isolated bubble, driven by fear rather than love... searching instead of giving... thinking drugs are going to be the magic key to liberation... what a joke! If you don't carry that feeling inside you, no substance is going to pull out something that isn't even there...

And besides, the best part is everyone ends up with laugh lines 🤣
