hey guys - i tote a little but and that is a big BUT I do not like to tote if I have some important business to do, going to work this way, meeting with family this way, having a conversation with someone, writing or reading, or anything else. I only like to tote when I'm getting ready to take it in for the night, for good - if you ask me to go anywhere or meet anyone while i'm like this, you can FORGET IT. Ask me BEFORE I tote. I think it is such a sign of weakness, for ME, to be high outside of the home. As for alcohol, sure, occassionally - lately, just a glass of cranberry juice and vodka or what have you in the evening and that too is done before taking it in although i can function outside of the home - you know, tipsy, even though it makes me feel like swinging from chandeliers and it just doesn't mesh well with my environment for me to be this way. I really don't like to be high outside of my home - really, I do not. if you can function while high - i mean it, more power to you because i absolutely cannot do this and i won't.

amisha outside, broad daylight, stoned in the grocery store:

"sh*t, i forgot my headphones, damn, damn, damn - why are they looking at me like that, i must be high, wait, i'm riding a grocery cart through the store instead of pushing it. that could be why - let me just chill out for a minute, this is serious. damn, what happened to my millionth pair of sun glasses, sh*t. i need something to drink - badly. my mouth is soooooo dry - i better have my chapstick too on me otherwise, it's a wrap. damn - why did i let this person talk me into going out - they always do this to me after we tote. omg, are you eating the candy? you didn't pay for it? I'm not in the mood for police - you know i don't have such a great temper. i will blow up on them. damn - is that Martin? I haven't seen them since high school. sh*t. they are going to know i'm high. i'll meet you at the car - *amisha rides the carriage around to avoid Martin and runs right into them from the other way* - pulls hoody up and curses all the way to the car with the many why's to the reasoning she only gets high at home - while running with the carriage at warp speed and probably bashing hand in the process."

i'm with blueroamer and soulsista (did i spell that right? i hope so). occasional use is ok, same with alcohol. heavy use is never ok. pot, like alcohol, can have negative physiological long term effects.

LSD.. I can't help it, I had a friend who tripped all the time, as he followed the Grateful Dead around in the early nineties... he left a brilliant guy, with aspirations.. and came back barely able to hold a conversation.. so that leads me to believe LSD was not conductive to a spiritual experience in the long term.
I have had experiences where I had to take off my boots as I was walking through a forest mid-winter, as the ground felt so beautiful, it was like making love to it with my feet.. and walking across a frozen field was tandamount to walking across a beautiful sparkling ocean. (Can you tell I am Canadian?)
But the next time I tripped, I had a bad one, which put me off all drugs for ten years. Everytime I would smoke a joint after that, the paranoia would return. the feeling that my brain was a scary place.... it opened doors that were either best remained shut, or better opened under different circumstances.. I will never forget the horrifying feeling my entire body underwent.. people were just evil, and I hated the world, and everything.
So.. I can't help it, I feel there is only so much you can learn with chemical psychadellics.... once you have learned, time to stop. If you started in the first place.
Read the best generation writers..... empathise from there.

I smoke medicinally and recreationally. I live in an area in which it is possible to do so legally. I have also used psychedelics and entheogens in the past. I am not exactly "out of the closet" with everyone in my life about this, but it's not something of which I am at all ashamed. I hardly fit the druggie "mold."

Weed gets me LESS stressed for sure. I have severe anxiety problems and it levels me out. It affects everyone differently.

Ben Harper put it best: "If you don't like my fire then don't come around, cuz I'm gonna burn one down. Yes I'm gonna burn one dowwwhhhowwwnnn...So before you knock it try it first, for its seeds a blessing and it's not a curse."

Mama Mia! Where are you from? The whole culture in Britaon is not as extreme as that of America. Extreme in the sense that I honestly find (and I dont wanna get into the whole PC thing about this cos 'I am sensible...but this is the case for me and those around me) that in America things seem to more of an issue. When you drink in England, nobody thinks twice. Its like OK your enjoying yourself or whatever, but you guys do tend to think it means you are an alcoholic.
Like I smoke 'wee' everyday and a kot of my friends do. A la Shakespeare 'thinking makes it so'. If you think its a problem, then its gonna be, you know?! But for my peeps and I, it isnt. It just a great way to relax, kinda like chewieng on a blade of grass, or the stalk of a flower (cos Im sure it affects, albeit very litlle-ly)

Definition of entheogens - generating the divine within'

Wee is not for everyone, just like tequila is not for everyone.

Some people drink or toke, and they can't handle themselves and act like total a-holes. Others are functional.

Not true at all danny I am american and I don't think like that at all. My mom dies if I even drink a glass of wine. I tell her calm down woman. You take one sip and you're already an alcoholic in her eyes.

This "topic" reminds me of a quote:
Drugs are for people who can't handle reality, and reality is for people who can't handle drugs"....or something like that.

Azalaksh -

I like that sort of quote. It reminds me of when I was growing up in young teens, and people around me doing "stuff", and I'd always think to myself, what's wrong with the status quo the way it is that they would want to change it in these ways? But then again, I wondered the same thing about sex, until I realized what "the aim" was - and then I was like OHHHHHHH!!! I get it now ...
