Any of you use drugs to increase creativity?

Most of the drug problems -- perhaps 90% -- are caused by the drug(s) being illegal.

Some people should not drink, some people should not do some drugs. Either one can harm, either can bring benefit. Most of the drug problems -- perhaps 90% -- are caused by the drug(s) being illegal.

Addiction doesn't differentiate between legal and illegal.

I am given to understand that religion and politics are not subjects allowed on this forum.

 

[anthonym3]

so what is the pursuit at hand The pursuit at hand is apparently getting high to compensate for the lack of creativity.

Do you not attend the congregation of the Great Yellow Father?

O hallow'd Father of Yellow
Deliver the roll to this believing
Fellow

Your numbers may be off
For HC-110 they scoff

But stand strong we be
And use Dilution B

Amen.

Drugs == addiction is not generally true IMO. Maybe true for really heavy things like heroine and cocaine and the new synthetic drugs.

Problem is that if you want to buy some dope, you have to go to people you normally don't want to be in contact with. And those people then also can offer you some of the more dangerous drugs. And you are doing something illegal, which might hit back if you are caught.

It's still not understandable by me why cannabis is illegal while alcohol is legal.

Not so,if there was no market there would be no illegal drug use.

Sorry. I don't understand your statement.

People do want to consume drugs. That's a fact. Making the drugs illegal forces them to be on the criminal side.

 

[anthonym3]

As I stated,if there were no demand there would be no illegal drugs. If there were not idiots who consume meth,crack cocaine and straight cocaine there would not be a market for illegal drugs. It is not the presence of drugs rather the idiots who use them that causes the problem.

Oxycodone is legally prescribed and contributed to the opioid epidemic. Huge numbers of people have become addicted. Many, many have died. Haven't you been reading the news?

Opioid epidemic......yeah right. Opiates have been killing poor people in this country for decades,even centuries. Now that it's spread to white suburbanites somehow it's a crisis. My ass. The real Fake News.

I don't know about that. I have known plenty of people who were/ are creative whether they were on the gravy train or just having a slice of apple pie and a cup of coffee. Thanks for answering the post though, even though you weren't the person I was asking to clarify what he ( or she ) was talking about. Seems s/he is all about hit and run posts and not clarifying ... oh well ...

 

[Arklatexian]

Seems to me that the very notion of "creativity" is absurd. Did Picasso possess creativity? Hitler?

Well now wait just a minute, Hitler came up with the Autobahns and Mussolini made the trains run on time! Don't those count? In my lifetime I have found most people in politics are very "creative" in their speeches. That is if "creative" is a synonym for "lie". As far as Picasso is concerned, people who seem to know more about "art" than I, say he is. As I said, they know more about "art" than I do...........Regards!

In 1934 my grandparents sold their cafe in northern Minnesota to buy the busted bank across the street and turned it into a bar. It’s still there and the owners still use the safe to store the booze. The local farmers and loggers were then able to assuage their habit without contacting a dangerous international criminal conspiracy. I like to imagine them running a pot dispensary nowadays.

Actually it is. It depends on abuse mostly. Coffee can create a very nasty addiction if you abuse it, hell, even sugar/chocolate, since it stimulate the pleasure points on the brain and it start to crave it heavily.

Although yeah, heavy things are more prone to create addiction and don't even need an abuse.

Agree on you about cannabis and alcohol. Alcohol abuse (alcoholism) can be very nasty and destructive on an environment level (read family/friends). Also, there is a 88k alcohol related deaths each year (on the USA only).

Not sure about cannabis, but just avoid abuse any of them just the same.

JUUL and other vaping devices use oils that increasingly contain Fentanyl and variants that are cheaper than allegedly safe "brand name" products..

If vaping itself doesn't kill you the doctored alleged-THC oils will do it even quicker.

There's no way to tell what's in the oils do-it-yourself types buy from "trusted dealers"..

...and this is absolutely absurd:
"Problem is that if you want to buy some dope, you have to go to people you normally don't want to be in contact with" because you can buy heroin from your local high school's football star (read your newspaper!)..

Of course, that's only Trump vaporware...

 

[MartinCrabtree]

The "opioid epidemic" really has been fueled by shipments of illicit drugs from Asia.....China overwhelmingly. The media blames Doctors for it but they simply cannot write enough prescriptions written to supply demand. The internet is a major link in the supply chain as well.

BTW I'm not defending Trump. Just laying out some documented facts. Doubtful? See here.

I’m clueless about these things but I had a conversation with someone who has been using these products for 10 or 11 years... he said one of the problems is people are using devices that are unregulated and “pods” that are unregulated. He said people mess around with the devices so they burn too hot and the things that get vaporized are badder than what gets vaporized when the device is not messed with. He said people screw around with the battery or power supply so it dumps too much energy to the resistance coil & C. IDK. Probably better to eat well sleep well and get sunshine.....

Better to risk your life Hells-Angel-style, or with Russian-roulette than with any sort of vape. An old friends middle age daughter vapes with purported organic THC oil. Happily they bought a family plot decades ago (they're RC).

sources say that vit e oil is used to suspend the canibanoids, not sure what happens when vit e is warmed, seeing it comes from fish ( guessing ? ) maybe gills will grow before lungs turn to popcorn, then the only problem is she'll have to move to atlantis, and sadly wouldn't be able to vape underwater. they say krill packs a punch ..

Addiction doesn't differentiate between legal and illegal.

And not all drugs are addictive...most are not, actually. Frankly I do not know what is worse, being addicted to drugs or to religion. At least there is some hope and possibility for creativity with the druggie.

Edited to add - -sorry did not mean to single out religion...I'll also include the belief (to the point of addiction) in such things as politics, conspiracy theories, flying saucers, and powdered rhino horn.

I spent the better part of what felt like 3 hours drawing an intricately fancy E to calm down after a demon came out of the wall. When I finally came back to my senses that intricate E was no where to be found. I was still sitting at my desk with a pen in hand.

In my mind that E kicked ass, even if it never existed. Made me consider going into graphic design.
