Why aren't you straight edge?
>Answer: Because you're weak, and you have no self control. If you respected yourself like me, you wouldn't willingly put poison into your body like a fucking retard.
Because drugs, sex, and alcohol are fun as hell.

Because good beer is tasty as all fuck

Because this was cool in the 90's, but I know it isn't the 90's anymore.

alcohol, smoking, and drugs are cool and you're a lame nerd.
straight edge means no sex also
>>712121180
Been straight edge for awhile. Only ever drank during college but stopped after graduating.
I am straight edge, but that's only because I was a fucking loser (still am, but not as much) in grade 5 and had the shittiest "friends" who made me an alcoholic. Had to repeat a grade because my liver fucked up.
>am 23 now
>don't drink
>don't smoke
>don't do drugs
>not even caffeine
I use wine when cooking tho but that's it.

No. You're weak for not being able to manage your drug consumption.

>if you need to drink coffee and smoke cigarettes you are goth, if you stay up late while avoiding activities that are hazardous to your health you are a faggot douchy vamp kid.
Becouse i know that other things are the important ones to have self respect.
I drink all the time, but I'd class myself as straight edge. I don't drink when I'm with other people, and it's usually just a single glass of whiskey or so on a night. I can't remember the last time I was drunk, I just like the taste of alcohol. I'm a boring old man by the age of 21.

>>712122736
>>712122275
Yeah, it's not wild living. I think the biggest factor in straight edge is relieving yourself of guilt and impurities. Some people drink coffee or smoke weed and feel fine. I drink coffee or have redbull and I'm shivering, sweaty and convinced i'm gonna die. So I stay away from that shit.
Some hc straight edge guys won't eat meat. I feel fine with a burger, I like that shit, I eat that shit, I'm at peace with my fuckin dead cow. For them whatever for me whatever

You need drugs to have fun? What a fucking loser.
I guess I consider myself straight edge. I'm 26 and have never consumed alcohol or taken recreational drugs. I also don't like drinking caffeine or taking pain killers unless I'm desperate. And no, I don't consider myself better than anyone else. I don't give a fuck if you smoke weed or drink alcohol. All my friends do it. I just think it's kind of gross, but I keep it to my self, so my friends don't pester me about it. Luckily, I found a partner who shares the same opinions on these matters.
Oh and yeah I'm probably a boring person. I hate parties. Big whoop.
>>712122736

Thank you anon
>>712121180

>>712122736
So basically you're too much of a pussy to handle any sort of intoxication? Sounds like you are the weak one here. Millions of people around the world enjoy alcohol, drugs, and sex responsibly, in moderation. Having a few beers or smoking a joint doesn't make you an addict, retard. Just because you spend your money on buttplugs and dildos instead of booze doesn't make you any better than anyone
>>712123473
Watch out with the coke and research chemicals, the rest for the most part are pretty harmless.
>>712121180
Because it's not my place to judge or push my opinions on other people.

coke is garbage, and i knew it was going in... but i mean, have can you NOT say you've tried coke when you have that kinda list (it was actually fairly recent).
the coolest part about it was the numbing of your throat. not really the stimulant like effects, which were mild. i did 2 decently sized lines and had maybe the same effects as a few energy drinks or 5-7mg of adderall. probably wasn't the best coke out there either though.
as for the RC's. i research them a lot a head of time. psychopharm is a hobby of mine, so i know a lot about the methods of action and metabolism paths.
>>712123983
yeah, had anti-convulsants and benzos on hand just in case, and did a fairly low dose of both. i still had some tolerance im assuming from previous endeavors, so not all that spectacular. it was an "only do it once" kinda thing due to the saftey profile. 25-i was more visual, with very linear and sharp fractals. didnt get much more than surface texturing and no real mental aspects.
25-b was less intense and also lacked i the mental side.
i was hoping a full agonist would have been crazier at a lower dosage, but hey. im not gonna take a dose where it does get crazy.
>>712121180

>>712125076
I don't need a woman to fuck either but it sure fucking helps.
So I guess it depends on your fundamental moral and philosophic views.
I think life probably has no inherent meaning but I search for 'goodness' anyway because it's convenient and gives me purpose.
I don't think there is a higher power or afterlife.
So dying is truly not scary, but since it is unknown I would still rather be alive, mostly for convenience, but still.
All that said, I don't understand at all why it's bad to promote certain brain function with very limiting physical repercussions. It helps me see the world in different ways, and different perspectives help me grow as a person.
Sooo this isn't a cringe thread?
Never smoked, never drank, never used recreative drugs. Only weak people under social pressure do those things to feel cool and better about themselves
>>712125005
or you have a long term partner whos 100% fine with you taking drugs, and occasionaly joins in thats on birth control, live together, and regularly have sex.

>>712125247
Meh, having a partner. I've been single for the last 11 years (my entire adult life so far + a few of my teens), and from watching other people's relationships and even marriages fail miserably, I have no interest in dealing with being in either. A man's freedom is his greatest possession, and drugs, alcohol, sex, etc are just [mostly mental, can eventually be physical] prisons.
And I wore Tripp Pants without doing all that extra stuff.
>you want a glass of water?
>you know, Hitler drank water too
>you fucking nazi
I'm kinda straight edge? But fuck that label, seriously.
Only because I can't smoke weed due to having a decent job. I pop molly every few months and love to dabble in psychedelics, but I hate cigarettes, and any booze makes me sick cause I'm a pussy.

>this level of having no fucking idea and judging people without knowing anything about them
>>712125469
>>712125538
well yes, but thats kind of where they gained their popularity from. i get that for a while it was a fashionable thing (like when i was back in middle school), i just think its kind of funny that people who claim they are so against drugs are inadvertently associating themselves with a culture of drug abuse. not saying you are a druggie for wearing them. it was just kinda funny to me.
anyway, the whole thing is that being in a relationship or taking drugs isnt trapping you. at any time you can break up, or stop taking drugs.
>>712125538
Wait, wait, wait.... these pants are still a thing? I haven't seen these motherfuckers in like 10+ years, and I've spent a fair amount of time in a lot of weird scenes. Maybe like once at a cyberpunk rave at a con, but that whole thing was kind of based on a retro 80-90s cyberpunk aesthetic. Is it a regional thing? I've been all over the east coast for the last decade.
>>712125538
>I've been single for the last 11 years
Is that a choice or because you're a holier-than-thou faggot and no one wants to spend extended periods of time with you?
>>712121180
Because I don't like myself.

You probably just can't get good drugs, or are justifying your social ineptitude.

Not him, just another kid who took it too. I took 25i or 25c, (was told it was acid by my useless cousin who has a sketchy dealer in the first place). Knew it was 25x when I tasted the horrible bitter chemical taste, but knew it would still be relatively safe since it was only 1 tab.
It has a really dirty feel to it.. I like laying down on my bed with psychedelics, but this had a huge stimulating feeling to it, while laying it bed it just felt like my brain was frying. The visuals were kickass though, and it had a semi-clear headspace, but it just felt dirty.

>you can break up at any time....or stop taking drugs
One of those isn't like the other. With a relationship, I can just walk out (might get some legal action, depending on whether it was just a relationship or marriage...or if she claims I raped/beat her repeatedly), but with drugs, addiction is much more difficult to walk away from.

>>712126078
No, but like... they are a thing that exists and is still worn? Is it just a straightedge thing or what? I've never seen them at any punk shows since I was a kid. This is like telling me that bellbottoms and peace medallions are worn as part of anything other than a hippie costume.

i went to a Gothic trance show and people were still wearing them. oddly. not my kinda music, just a fun night and some weird off the cuff choices with friends to go to a random club without checking what was playing.
>>712126078
addiction is overblown. the main thing is usage patterns. as long as it doesnt become regular use, its not an issue. nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs. i have smoked a pack over a 2 day period at music festivals (menthol cigs feel amazing when on mdma, and the tobacco has a slight maoi in it that boost the effects of most serotonin based drugs). never once had a craving for cigs. i just dont smoke regularly... and its not an issue.
also most psychedelics are not addictive. opiates are, and to an extent stimulants can be.

You cared enough to reply, bitch. And I bet your friends are all lying and drinking behind your back.
>>712121180
Tonight OP was not a faggot. Bump
>>712126837
You've had an attitude and judged everyone with an opposing view this entire thread
>>712121180
I think it takes more self control in doing drugs to not go overboard with it but that's jut me I don't like to get where I can't fucking think straight or walk.
I would rather just get a nice mellow buzz from what ever I'm using. Either way do what ever makes you happy it's not my place to tell people what they can and can't do with their bodies. Sure if someones being really self destructive with it I'll step in or If I know what they want to do is a bad idea I'll say something, I've had to do so before.
I think a lot of it stems from a chemical imbalance within the person causing them to not be able to feel pleasure from things they use to enjoy. That's one of the reasons people do drugs as an escape to get that dopamine boost they are missing.
I wonder if there's a correlation between genetically risk-averse people and straightedge people. Some of them might have just seen people close to them fall into addiction and gotten scared off everything, but I do wonder if there's an in-born component that makes people more scared to try drugs etc.
>>712121180
Because I enjoy the effects of alcohol and a few recreational drugs, that aren't physically addicting mind you.
I don't really care about the effects they have on my body, I don't really use them nearly often enough to cause serious harm.
I would say that me lifting with my back, and my habit of speeding excessively will end up having a larger negative impact on my life. Plus, I'm hoping by the time I'm 30, I'll have found my balls so I can kill myself.
>>712126824
Now, why would you harm me for just wearing something? I mean you no harm, nor do I seek it.
>>712126967
How? When? I simply stated that I'm 'pretty much' Straight-Edge and explained why I thought so.

>Im not physically addicted to weed so I'll use my mental addiction to pass it off
>>712121180
I use drugs, not drugas
>>712126712
theres tons of functional druggies out there man. just find people who are into psychedelics, and make friends with their friends. eventually you find us.
>>712126819
see >>712124554
>>712126837
a lot of things can hurt. i ride a motorcycle, and used to do trail riding and some motocross. you wear as much gear as you can to minimize getting hurt. i have been hit twice while on the road (both not my fault, i dont ride like an ass). worst that happened was a bruised up side and a lil itty bitty crack on my thumb. drugs are the same way (although safer then riding a motorcycle by far). research, stay hydrated, take a responsible amount.
if you dont take any risk, you dont have any fun.
>Also, don't forget about STDs and the worst STD of them all: having a child. I'd rather not take the risk.
dont fuck prostitutes. wear a condom, make sure shes on the pill... or, in my situation, we have been monogomous for 3.5 years, she has an IUD, and theres a <.01% chance of pregnancy so i fuck that shit raw. feels gella good.
>>712121180
Besides nicotine and caffeine (not sure if that counts) I am.
>>712127105
You ain't been to a show since the 90's have you?
>>712126446
>help me grow as a person
Fuck off retard
>>712121180
I will fuck you up duck fucker
>>712121180
Because I'm not a raging faggot that needs a titled lifestyle to make me feel good about myself.
You know what it's called when someone doesn't do drugs but doesn't call themself straight edge? Nothing OP, nothing. Because "straight edge" doesn't fucking mean shit.
>>712127187
"Fun" is subjective. While you may not like my ideas of 'fun,' I can assure you, I find pleasure in them, and little else.
>prostitutes
Did that all through my early-20s. Now, I'm 'tuckered out' and don't even like the idea of sex with another person.
>>712127221
I never go to concerts or really any social events outside of conventions.
To a certain extant I became straight edge after a bad trip on some strong weed.
I took a long break in between smoking and inadvertently smoked a high dose in a uncomfortable place and I had to sit through a I-MAX movie while bad tripping
Now anything that alters my perception of reality gets me very scare and anxious
But I learned to cope and now I'm able to drink a little and even passed a large milestone and was in a car that was being hotboxed. Didn't have a anxiety attack either.
All in all respect your drugs and try to find some happiness because when you lose your mind it's something you can't get back
>>712121180
Sure you're not addicted to any outside drugs, but I'm sure the smugness you derive from being straight edge will release some happy chemicals in your brain.
>>712127019
For me I stopped drinking due to my schizophrenia starting to worse because of it, never seen the appeal of smoking so I've never done it, as for other drugs I've seen a lot of my friends and some family get dependent on it and didn't think it was worth going through what they did. As for other risk related things when it comes to anything physical I'm not at all opposed to it, and am a sadist/masochist
>>712127325
Fuck you nigger
>>712126914
>And I bet your friends are all lying and drinking behind your back
Why would they do that? Not everyone is as shallow as you m8.
>>712121180
Becuase I don't really care if 20 or so years are shaved off my life. If still alive by age 70 I'll be killing myself anyway. Why not spend 40-50 years of years of your life indulging and just living it up?
am I gay if Im straight edge and dont feel the need to have sex whatsoever? I've fucked before but I dont need it
nigga im high right now
>>712127526
Suck my big, juicy, rock-solid boner
>>712127563
Not gay
Definitely a faggot
Probably something majorly wrong with you
>>712122736
Gonna be pretty funny when you're crossing the street on the way to one of your sober activities, you get rekt by a speeding car, and your last dying thoughts are how much you missed out, living life with unnecessary restrictions and how a sober lifestyle didn't help you live any longer or do anything special for you.
NIGGER SHIT CUNT FAG NIGGER DICKHEAD RETARD NIGGER FAGGOT SHITTER COCKSUCKING MONGOLOID CUNT NIGGER SHITFACE RETARD FUCKING NIGGER!
>>712127451
fun is an internal thing, not an external thing... this can be interpenetrated two ways, yes, what you think of as fun i may not. on the other hand, if you go to a concert and you aren't having fun, thats not the fault of the concert. it is a falt of your own perception of the events.
and again, avid drug user here... i have and haven't done drugs. i think they are a great way to enhance something already fun. i have seen both sides. you cant really tell me drugs _aren't_ fun if you have never tried them.
I used to do a lot of drugs.
Now I can be considered a "straight edge" except that I only take an antidepressant. But no weed alcohol caffeine or other drugs.
The AD I take is too good to stop taking with the only side effect being insomnia. (moclobemide - good antidepressants like this are not available in the US where they only care about money and not the patients wellbeing.)
>>712127691
NIGGER.
>>712127563
Not gay, but if you can stop any kind of sexual expression and not miss it at all you might be asexual or some kind of variant of it.
>>712127715
Thats fair
>>712127809
Asexual? What a faggot
>>712127545
Oh yes, but you are definitely are more. You come to a den of junkies and criticize their habit because that's the only way to feel superior. You aren't. Vain glory is what you have. And your big achievement? Never experiencing the things the world has to offer.
>>712127746
I still won't do them, even if someone else tells me they're 'fun.' If there is one thing Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and arcade machines of the 1990s taught me, it's
>>712127809
Or I've grown to accept I'll be lonely for a long time
I also dont go out much besides work
I'll probably be getting a ton in a few months tho
>>712121180
Because anything that makes me forget or makes my life not last as long is a ok by my book.
>>712127899
right, but historically the legislation behind drug scheduling has been due to racial fear mongering and as a method to arrest members of counter cultures that the usa's executive branch didn't agree with.
>>712127899
But what if you were drunk and won while playing an arcade game.
>>712127901
That just sounds like depression man. Maybe find someone, preferably a professional, to talk to. Being a totally secluded, anti-social, hermit is only normal if you're going to be the enigmatic elderly mentor to an anime protagonist and die right after they start to open up to you.
>>712128098
Then you weren't drunk enough.
>>712125233
I laughed out loud, thanks anon
>>712128084
True, but I never could see the point in buying or using anything that would ruin someone's health. Which is why....
>>712128098
I never drink.
>>712128147
Maybe, but like I have a healthy social life (mainly online) and I hang out with my best friend every weekend
But I do feel like my life is just a process of gaming in the morning, waiting to go to work, coming back then eating and sleeping. Thats my cycle and it's boring as fuck. I feel happy enough but Im fucking bored. You could be right
>>712128210
right, but the fact that drugs damage your health is false. sure SOME drugs do (mainly drugs with tons of impurities being injected), but most don't unless you seriously abuse them. everything in moderation and you wont have any issues.
>>712128344
Yeah man, chronic fatigue and boredom are symptoms of clinical depression. I'm not saying you need to necessarily jump on the medication bandwagon, but it's not normal to not feel anything outside of [bored, tired, sad, mildly content]. However you decide to proceed, you should know that feeling like that all the time isn't normal, and you don't have to feel like that forever.
>>712128355
Again,
>I won't take the risk.
Plus, the only thing I can think of better than moderation is to simply not do it at all.
>>712128606
Strangely caring for an anon, there should be more of you. Thank you
>>712128210
I'm curious, do you eat only the healthiest of foods? Do you avoid sunlight as much as possible? Do you try to avoid travelling by car? Do you avoid medication that hasn't been 100% proven safe for human consumption?
>>712128606
I agree with anon, maybe just try going out with some people you haven't seen in a while or meeting some new friends could be enough to get you started.
It's one thing to not do drugs, that's perfectly fine, a lot of people don't do drugs.
But to give yourself a title so you can set yourself apart from people who do drugs, gayest shit ever.
>>712128615
again, that is a boring way to live.
for instance, i have a 2L of coke in the fridge. why? because i like coke (the soda). now, i know soda isnt good for my health. im 6'2" and weigh about 170-180. im not overweight... im not all that fit either, but i ride a bike occasionally and work in the garage doing wood working and automotive repair for fun. so you know, i lift heavy shit every now and then. so yeah, i eat fast food occasionally and drink soda, but 80+% of the time im drinking water and cooking at home.
i dont stop doing things i enjoy just because it COULD be bad for my health in excess, i just make sure i limit my consumption to a reasonable extent.
every 3-4 months i like to cut myself off of everything for at least 3 weeks to make sure i dont have any dependencies, and if i do, i reevaluate my usage pattern of that substance. its not hard.
>>712128894
Yes (don't even touch a microwave or eat meat), yes (with it getting cooler out), yes (haven't driven since 2009), usually (don't really get sick, so I don't need medicine).
>>712129132
You should stop using a computer then, your precious eyes might be damaged.
>>712128805
In an odd antithesis to this thread, I'm usually not this caring unless it's late and I'm drunk. This compassion brought to you by Woodford Double Oaked, but for real, if you're actually feeling like this all the time, seek out some kind of help. Talk to a psychologist or psychiatrist. If you're in the US and your insurance doesn't cover that, talk to your GP; they can still prescribe psych meds, but won't necessarily have as much expertise in finding what works for you, but don't feel like you're doomed to live your life feeling like this forever. Maybe it'll be talk therapy, or diet+exercise, or medication, or something else, but there is something out there that can help you feel better. The hardest part is getting up, heading out the door, and asking for help from someone that might be able to provide it. Hope if pans out man, invisible illnesses are the hardest to summon the will to fight.
>>712121180
Are you a human talking about poison? You are a virus with shoes! You are poison. You destroy all that is good. At this point it is all about how much fun you can get out of life before the human virus takes down our life support system like any good virus. Straight edge dosen't make you any better or worse that a murdering baby raping bath salt addict. You're still a human there for worthless.
>>712129112
Boring to you, perhaps, but as I've said: I'm content with this.
>>712129253
I could, but then I'd probably blow my brains out from the boredom. Not like I stare at it *all* day, at least.
>>712129132
Well, if you aren't bullshitting, then I can't fault you.
Although, I think it's kinda odd that seem to be trying to prolong your life as long as possible. Unless you're holding out for some miracle consciousness transfer system. Then I understand completely.
>>712129302
Thanks brah, you're smart. Godspeed anon
>>712129098
I don't go around parading I'm "straight edge" I just use it as a quick way to let people know I'm not interested in what they're offering.
>>712126636
MUuu CIENCE
>>712129432
Just trying to live long enough so I can move overseas to live and work permanently. That and I dislike being around people.
>>712129360
are you really though? i feel like if someone is told of how amazing something is with very minimal consequences, and they choose not to investigate, its a fear of change... or maybe a sunken cost fear, where they think if they experience something amazing they will realize they have wasted the past x years of their life.
at least thats how i would perceive it from an omniscient view point.
contentment is never the goal in my life. i want to experience the most, and get to the best i can.
i cant tell you your living your life wrong if thats how you wish yo live it. but i would advise to at least try taking a puff off a joint if the chance comes up. just, only take 1 or 2.
>>712129621
i would recommend wanting to be around people if you are working overseas.
>>712129575
Or you could just say "thanks but I don't do drugs".
Again, if the words "I'm straight edge" come out of your mouth you're probably trying to bring attention to yourself.
>>712125351
I'm a fat new virgin and I do plenty of drugs, so I don't see the correlation.
>>712129564
Good luck anon, it ain't easy, but you can do it. Don't procrastinate. When you feel that spark of motivation to get up and do something about your situation, seize it right then, because if you tell yourself that you'll 'do it tomorrow' that spark may have faded by the time tomorrow comes. Depression can suck the air out of your lungs. So you need to seize the opportunity to get out from under it as soon as you can muster it. Same thing goes for anybody in here suffering from substance abuse. If you've got a moment of clarity and an urge to get clean, you need to take it now, because it will fade soon and you never know how many 'next times' you'll have to get clean.
Hey, I'm straight edge. Feels good.
>>712129770
>are you really?
Yes. For now, at least. I hate living here, so staying to myself is the most logical thing to do, along with actually work on leaving (which I am).
Everything will be different for me overseas. I know as I've lived there before.
>>712121180
Nobody is ever straight edge once they can buy booze. Denial of fun isn't cool, it's fucking retarded. Fuck off back to a child-friendly site, little boy.
>>712129912
HOLY SHIT REALLY?? TELL US MORE. PLEASE.
Alright, my drunk ass is going to bed; I have to wake up tomorrow and lead the future of tomorrow's biomedical research. Best of luck to the anons that need it, and new low-sodium formulas for that salty bitches in this thread.
>>712121180
How do you really think that being a straight edge makes you any different then that murderous baby raping bath salt addict?
>>712129910
Screencapped your replies to remind myself of this
>>712130163
you're a special kind of retard aren't you ?
>>712129834
I use to just say "nah, I don't smoke" but that's usually followed by being offered a beer or something in place of and then the conversation of why I don't drink and smoke.
But I'll agree that a sizeable portion of "straight edge" people do like drawing attention to themselves and it makes them feel like a better person. Not all of us are like that, some just don't care for drinking/drugs/smoking for the reason of we just don't care for it.
So OP how do you think that being straight edge makes you any different THAN that murderous baby raping bath salt addict?
>>712122095
hahaha your delusional dont even talk about drugs have you done them? no, so you really dont know what your talking about. drugs are a piece of this world they can be positive or negative. most humans just misuse drugs use the worlds tools to your benefit, may it be productivity or recreation P.S. the webms just to piss off sjw's which id imagine are in this "straight edge" thread
>>712121180
>Why aren't you straight edge?
Because being straight edge is boring and pointless. Straight edge is for ex drug-addicts/alcoholics who can't drink/drug responsibly - weak people. That's why normal people who can control themselves doesn't need straight edge.
Besides, alcohol is awesome when you drinking it responsibly - it turns good things into awesome things: partys with friends are good, but partys with friend and some alcohol is awesome. Sex is good, but slightly drunk sex is awesome. And so on.
>>712130283
Good luck anon; I believe in you.
>>712121180
im fucking russian if i dont drink vodka daily ill die
Every aspect of humans is subject to the bell curve. Some people are mormons, some are junkies, and everything in between. Once you realize this you stop criticizing and caring about what other people do or like.

As someone who is "straight edge" and doesn't hold that belief nor met someone else who does, could you please explain this?
>>712130137
Considering how uncommon it is, I would be glad to. Having full control over my faculties and desires is pretty great.
>>712130415
I like you anon, sensible guy.
That's what I'm saying though, if you don't do drugs, you don't do drugs. You don't have to defend your stance on drugs to anyone and you don't need to add a title to it either. You're just a person that doesn't partake in drugs, the end.
>>712127185
fuck off you greasy bastard
But I am.
I have no friends to enjoy those things with. And smoking, drinking and drugs on your own is degenerate.
Also it would impede my training.
I personally know only two straight edge guys: one of them is ex drug addict alcoholic who's been in the mental institutions several times, and the other one is nazi edgy teenager. I believe that pretty much represents what kind of people are becoming straight edge.
>>712131338
PLS CONTINUE. CONTINUE TO EXPLAIN HOW BEING STRAIGHT EDGE ALLOWS YOU TRANSCEND THIS MEANINGLESS CYCLE OF LIFE US WEAK MORTALS ARE CONFINED TO
>>712131236
Yes statistics say that you can drop any non useful groups to make it into anything you want. So it always benefits the dumb ass saying statistics say. You murderous baby raping bath salt addict.
I'M AS STRAIGHT AS THE LINE THAT YOU SNIFF UP YOUR NOSE
AND I'M AS HARD AS THE BOOZE THAT YOU SWILL DOWN YOUR THROAT
AND I'M AS BAD AS THE SHIT THAT YOU BREATHE INTO YOUR LUNGS
AND I'LL FUCK YOU UP AS FAST AS THE PILL ON YOUR TONGUE
>>712122526
Not sure, but I have been curious to try just at least once.
>>712122956
I was. I drank everyday for like 3 years. I was very dependent on it and I did a lot of stuff I normally wouldn't have done to get shitty alcoholic drinks. Also you're spot on, anon, the first time was when they thought it'd be funny to force my mouth open and drink it. And I blame them because they were much older than me. I mean part of it is my fault for hanging out with them in the first place/thinking they actually liked me, but your judgement gets impaired when you're the kid everyone hates and no one gives you any attention. I eventually did it because I wanted to, like the 3rd or 4th time. But after a year I realized it became a problem.
You can choose to believe me or not. But yeah, live and learn.
>>712125351
It's not a bullshit story. Thinking back on it now it was a bullshit episode in my life. I smoked once and I hated it. I didn't do drugs because of what happened with alcohol. I was a very skinny nerd virgin in grade 5. I'm not skinny anymore, nor am I a virgin, but I'm still a huge nerd.
Also, my family has a genetic liver problem. My dad was hospitalized when he was 16 because his liver failed, and he didn't even drink. My mom's liver also failed, when she was 20, but she's only drank like a few times. My liver hasn't failed before, only had complications, but my younger brother's liver failed when he was like 4.
Also didn't know straight edge meant vegetarian and no sex. I am mostly vegetarian but that's because I'm poor as shit and I live near farms, and meat is expensive. I love meat more than most people probably because I don't get the chance to eat it as often as I'd like. I have sex every week or so.
XXX
>>712131356
Thanks anon,
Maybe the term "straight edge" just has different connotations to us, I grew up and live in an area where almost everyone smokes and drinks, a few hardcore druggies but not many and the people who don't do it accept and don't mind the people who do. The only time I've had a problem with it is when my friends took out and hotboxed my car one night and a few times when one friend in particular would try hooking up with my girl but she usually handled that and it was pretty great watching him get beat by a 5'4 girl.

Sounds pretty much like the lost of things I've done except for the opiates and syn-cannabinoids. I've done more of the 2CX family tho, including a few of the obscure ones
>>712121180
Plenty of "poisons" worse than drugs or alcohol out there that you willingly put in you body. Most artificial sweeteners contain aspertame which is pretty much a carcinogen compound. Also, the strcture of a strand of DNA was discovered by a man on LSD during a trip.
>>712122736
In fact most of the drugs consumers aren't addicted, because they're not weak like you who feel depressed after a join

>More than that, I have a heart condition that means I can't smonk the mary jane so to speak
>Alcohol does nothing but make me tired
>The rest of the shit is either too hard to get or not interesting to me
Now let's hear you highschoolers talk shit.
Everyone I knew back in the 1980s who claimed to be "Straight Edge" either later denounced it or grew out of it.
Example: Ian McKay who basically started this whole Straight Edge fad wants nothing to do with the movement or the violence prone bone head jocks involved in it. They're worse than nazi skinheads.
Also I know Springa from SS Decontrol and every time I see him he has a beer in his hand.
Fuck straight edge! Fuck the violent boneheads in the scene that start fights with people enjoying themselves and not hurting anybody else just because they're drinking a beer or smoking some weed. And FUCK FSU!

I hate getting drunk, but love good beer. Most beer is disgusting but good beer is delicious. Start with a good pilsner like Warsteiner
