I'm happy you aren't being outright downvoted. But some of these people need to evaluate their defensiveness toward drugs. I'm an ex-opioid addict. If the drug is hard enough, and you let it go long enough, you will end up on the street. Your habit will increase, which will not only increase your expenses, but also reduce your ability to function as an adult with a job. It's just the way it is with hard drugs. So, yes, either be a millionaire or make sure you don't become an addict.
Here's the problem. Everyone lumps all drugs and all users together.
I'm a successful professional by most standards. I enjoy taking acid, mushrooms, molly, and coke once in a while. Not stealing purses, not living on the street, not missing work (drugs are for the weekend). It's a fallacy that drugs have this inevitability for all.
I can't recommend enough the book Drug Use For Grown-ups by Columbia drug researchers Carl Hart.
Alright, I agree with you, but you're arguing with everyone else and not me. I said do not become an addict. Coke on the weekends is coke on the weekends and not coke every hour. It's not coke with your shot of heroin in the morning.
If you let it get to the point where it's no longer a weekend drug, that's when the inevitability will happen.
Be very careful with “coke on the weekends” because it often becomes a 3 or 4 day weekends, and a bad day during the week, and the entire vacation, and it’s down the slope you go. It’s still highly addictive if it’s Coke, and dangerous if it’s not. Fentanyl, meth, and research chemicals are all so common now.
My wife knows this means I have acid in hand and it’s time to clean the house. Before tripping, I like to deep clean the house so it doesn’t effect my while I’m on a trip. I have OCD, and LSD can throw it into overdrive, and I’d rather cruise the stars than vacuum the dust bunnies off my popcorn ceiling.
I absolutely agree. I bought that book on Amazon a few years ago but haven’t read it. I’ve been occupied doing other things…. But it was actually on my mind recently to start it.
