| It's quite clear not a lot of the posters in this thread have actually used these illegal substances. I've used numerous illegal substances, including various stimulants. I also used to experiment with nootropics back in the '80s; occasionally I run into one of my own USENET posts from then. :) Anyone curious about these things really needs to a) know themselves, and b) know some neuropharmacolgy. It helps if you know a doctor who will answer questions about potential drugs and nutrients. People should be comfortable hacking their wetware. The current laws and social taboos make this hard, but not impossible. Know the risks and make informed decisions. Which is understandable, as those who have would be reticent to come out. I talk about it because I'm tired of a world where it's apparently OK to get shit-faced on alcohol but not toke a blunt or get some focus from amphetamines so you can do something useful. I can pump my body full of sugar, starch, and fatty foods, but not smoke high-grade smack? Because the latter is, what, dangerous? People need to speak up and speak from experience to help counter the scare stories from the likes of the DEA. |
