It's a pity about your friends, so I get your decision and am sorry for your losses. I don't see why taking occasional trips means you can't take life seriously though. I still live a normal life and like to occasionally try out stuff.

On that note, I finally got to do some 2cb, 2ci, and 2ce about 2 years ago. Amazing stuff.

Memories are starting to come back...

Alot of shit happened that do not mix with my new life...

Two of my close friends where busted for having secret illegal chemlabs- and a huge investigation followed. Alot of my friends where talked to by the police.

Today the police is a client of mine....

And alot of my friends never progressed in their development- i needed to move on. It isnt the drugs, it is the subculture that is the problem...it is wonderfull, lots of great people- but...you know :)

Anyway, my point is, it isnt the fact that I dont do drugs that means I am taking life seriously. It is that i cutted off that part of my life, the people, the mindsets, the illegal aspects of many things involved in that life.

It isnt really the drugs...it is everything else that comes with it, the people, the illegal trades, the raves....

And I am getting old, I need my 9 hours of sleep to performance max! :)

But I havent said "I will never take X drug again"

I just havent felt like it :)

That also played a part....none of my close friends died of it, but people at raves i went to did....

That is kinda none releated- I havent thought about that part of my life in years...and I can look at it more...umm..neutral now.

I remember I was at a rave, deep in a forest, an none announced secret rave- and this was playing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BgMxgwkfu8

I was tripping balls on 2cb, everything was moving, there was string art, people was dancing and where happy.

Then at the beach i see an ~ 8 year old girl crying, I go to her and ask: Why are you crying little girl? "I cannot find my mom" WTF! I was not in any condition to act responsily, but that was wrong, and not good! So I lift the little girl up, and go to the "dance stage" and yell out "WHO KNOWS THIS LITTLE GIRL?!?!?!" And I do not know how long I did that, it was a weird night and i was tripping balls. But finally an ~30 year old women with pink hair and glowing clothes says "Hey, that is my girl what the hell are you doing with her" I should have said: "What the hell are YOU doing with her? This is not a place for such small girls, and you fucking left her at the beach to go dancing- what the hell is there matter with you????" But all I said was "Take her......", and I went to the beach pretty shocked and confused...that wasnt really a good night.

Anyway, my pointe is "I am too old for that shit!"

Jeez, yeah, I could see how having a few of those experiences might make you want to take a break. Some people can't be trusted to be responsible. I've been pretty fortunate with the groups I've been with.
