Thinking about trying drugs

Look, if I can take a sad kid seriously, I can probably handle some kid asking about drugs. Even if half this stuff is just trolling—like Apex said—there’s definitely people looking for actual answers. Shouldn't the health mod be cleaning up these stupid replies anyway?😉

And why shouldn't he kill himself if that's what he wants? You gonna stop him? By giving him advice on how to "safely" crash?

What, since they want to try drugs, does that mean they're actually suicidal? If so, why waste the money? Why not just jump off a balcony?

You'd probably do the same thing to a kid wanting to have sex who's asking how to stay safe, because you view sex as nothing but STDs and unwanted pregnancies. It's the exact same logic. 🙂

🙂 you really think there's anyone like that around here? 🤔

Oh sure, because having sex is totally the same thing as getting high. ☕
—just evolutionary inevitability, I guess! 😬

Some idiot kid really found their way to a great forum! 👍

That’s quite a quote you've got there.

I’d suggest he tries some heavy-duty steroid creams, maybe even a little Bruiser, though honestly, even a greasy slice of pizza from a local diner isn't a bad way to go about it. 😬
And just so we're clear, you'll be carrying the consequences of those choices around your hips for the rest of your life. 😍

Maybe that isn't the intention, but either way, it certainly isn't leading them toward a good life or a long one.

Even if they make it through, what they go through might leave them with very little to remember.

Health is the single most important thing you have Fitness and recreation are key parts of that
> I might try some drugs

🤣

Doesn't matter what you're applying it to, your logic is just as stupid. If you can't handle the fact that sex is an evolutionary certainty while drugs aren't, I can explain the flaw with an example of behavior that's just as useless as drug use. Let's say a kid wants to try base jumping. Are you gonna try to stop them with fairy tales about death, or actually teach them how to use a parachute properly?

Look at this reaction, like the kid was asking for a golden ticket. 🤣 Do you even realize how many young people experiment with drugs and then just go back to living a normal life?

Look, here’s the reality—#1: You aren't going to get anywhere by trying to scare people off with lies about how "one ecstasy pill will kill you" or claiming they'll drop dead after their first hit. It just doesn't work. Drugs. A messy business—always has been, always will be. Whether it's the high-end stuff or the cheap junk on a street corner in Chicago, it's just one more way for people to try and outrun their own lives. It never ends well. Whatever. Become a junkie and a loser. Look around at everyone using all sorts of crap—on the surface, it seems like it’s no big deal to them. Whatever.

Part two: if someone goes into this without a clue about what they’re actually buying, they’re going to overreach—skip the basic precautions—and then things will inevitably go south.

I really don't.

But honestly, tell me—how are they actually doing?

What kind of future are they looking at if they get hooked?

And what's the actual upside to all this "experimenting"?

Yeah, that's how the spiral works—first it's weed, then it's coke, then needles, and before you know it, you're knitting sweaters in a state penitentiary. 😁

If you're lucky enough.

On my street, three people from my old crew passed away before they even hit 25. Two of them have spent way more time behind bars than actually being free, and two others are stuck in that endless loop of rehab-to-prison-to-rehab. Only one guy has managed to stay clean for nine years now.

He’s a truly great guy with incredible grit. He’s the living embodiment of that "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger" mantra.

Seriously, he’s tougher than ever. Not just mentally, but in terms of his knowledge, experience, and even his finances.

He's a steady family man now. 🙏

And looking at everything he's been through and how he pulled himself out of it...

If they made a movie about his life, the average viewer might find it less believable than something like "The Godfather" or "Scarface."

How are they doing? Honestly, pretty good. Most people I know finished college, got jobs, started families, and are just out there grinding and paying off their mortgages. Just your average Americans.😁

As for getting hooked? It sucks, but let's be real—people don't usually spiral after one pill or a gummy.

I’ve lost people in my circle who ended up six feet under, so I get where you're coming from. But you can't lump weed, edibles, and heroin into the same bucket.😉

If he’s really that desperate, I'd say just have him start with coffee. Maybe stick to a latte at first—just to take the edge off—then move to black later on... ☕

I don't know, placidranger... there's always gonna be an idiot out there. Tomorrow he'll probably show up asking "what's the safest way to rob a currency exchange." And the worst part? Some even bigger moron will actually give him advice...

whatever... It seems like njasa doesn't quite grasp what you mean by "experimenting."

It doesn't...

But who actually stops after just one pill?

Sure, I know one person, but it wasn't the whole goal—it was just a small mishap. 😁

The stats don't lie: most heroin addicts were just caffeine junkies looking for their morning fix once upon a time. 😉

I know this is just a textbook case of spurious correlation, but I can't help myself.

One, two, three, five, ten. People just stop dead in their tracks. One bad trip and it’s game over.

Doesn't look that way from your posts...

Of course they wouldn't.

But let's be honest: whether it's weed, candy, or heroin, none of them actually bring anything positive to the table.
