RE: Drugs - My Experience with 'Speed'
I've had some really fun times with speed too. I think the fact that it's usually improperly manufactured, is what really causes a lot of the adverse effects. Having tried both pharmaceutical grade stuff and stuff from the street, I have to say that the effects were very very different.
As for addiction, I reckon some people can get addicted, but for me it just got nauseating after a while. To the point where I almost got sick from just the smell alone, you probably know what I mean.
Looking forward to hearing your LSD stories, I've also got some of my own :)
Also, I think it's great that you're talking about this. A lot of people have strong misconceptions about drugs, thinking that people who do them are almost as bad as murderers (I've actually come across this sentiment a fair bit). So a bit of nuance is definitely in order, which you provide with posts like these.
I think mine is the 'stuff from the streets' for sure. I have had mixed reactions from the post. A RL friend who is on Steemit sent me a load of comments via FB and not here telling me I had implicated myself as a user.
Sure I have, 20 years back! You wont find a thing on my property now, its all long gone along with my desire to try more.
I never got addicted to any of the substances I tried (there's more). A lot is said about addiction but the worst is Alcohol which is in front of our faces.
I cant remember the smell of Speed, just that odour that comes off your skin. I'm sure it did have a smell but that's gone from my memory.
Many people have strong opinions but have not tried any of these substances. How can you possibly have an opinion with zero experience?
Pretty sure that the 'crime' is too old to prosecute ;-)
There's a lot of anti-drug propaganda going around, sometimes heavily exaggerating the harm it does. You're not going to hear me say that it's healthy, far from it... But for me personally, the fun I had was well worth the risk. Also consider it to be unique experiences, not really comparable to something else.
You are correct, its not healthy at all, and neither is eating Bacon but both can be enjoyable. I'll be writing the next one soon, which counteracts some of the 'downer' parts of Speed.
