Of course, being high on things slows down my pure intellectual abilities, so I try my hardest to remain sober while finishing assignments, doing labs, etc. Normally I'd just attribute this phenomenon to being more "sociable" while under the influence, but my situation is so striking and pervasive that it actually got me to thinking about the whole thing. I perform better talking to employers/co-workers, to parents, to friends, to my significant other, etc. while I am on something of my choice. This is not something that I just "feel" when I'm intoxicated with something, but something that I realize retrospectively based on results. Furthermore, I'd like to add that I'm not a terribly shy person, I mean I'm not cocky or anything and know the limits of personal sociability, but certain... chemicals make me into half of a Donald Trump. I really do think certain, chemical enhancements, have the ability to make me a more successful and better person. Is this applicable to you? Has anything similar happened to you before? I'd like to hear your thoughts. Cheers. Alcohol and other drugs just remove any inhibitions you have normally, mostly by just making sure that you don't actually think before you say anything. That said, be warned - you may think you're becoming more charismatic, but you may in fact just be more talkative, but also more foolish. Never trust yourself too much when you're drunk. | ||

I think you can still act the same way sober, but instead of thinking that "yeah I'm awesome" you will probably be thinking "wtf am I doing", and probably rightly so. | ||

I agree with this. Just because you think you're being more charismatic doesn't mean that you actually are. It's just an inflated sense of self-confidence. | ||

If I ever go out on a date with a girl I am definitely going to have to drink beforehand, I think I would be way too intimidated by the whole situation otherwise. Not a lot, just like a shot or two. An interview would be way different though. That's serious time, just biznezz. | ||

Kratom is a drug used for opiate detox, MDA or Sass, isn't a drug that anyone can get through an interview on. AND SALVIA? It's is an extreme psychedelic for about 5 minutes...I'm almost 100% certain that we can disclude all of these. Also he already stated that it isn't pot, alcohol, and subtly denied heroin. Also the way he talked about heroin's severity would make me disclude most opiates. But you probably didn't know this because you haven't followed the entire thread. Oh how cute, you just checked wikipedia! Kratom has actually had an effect similar to coffee for the people around me who tried it, and low doses of Salvia barely affect the user while still sometimes creating a lingering or euphoric mood for a bit less than an hour. Experimenting with a 5x potency never took me to the "extreme high" kids are looking for nowadays. Salvia is strong in strong doses, period. I don't even know where you take the 5 minutes from as my trips have lasted from 2 to 15 minutes and this seems to be the norm but then again, wikipedia knowledge isn't perfect. About MDA, again, small doses are known to generate euphoria and empathy witout it being noticeable. So in the end it could be anything as there are as many reactions as there are drugs. Quit the inspector gadget act and give us a break.

Whatever, who gives a damn except for you?

Primarily I'm just trying to get a response out of him that would either confirm or deny my thoughts. Again, who gives a f***?

I find that weed is a word that is mostly used by people who have very light experience with drugs, and overall it just sounds funny. That is also why I suggested myself laughing. Then you derail into some ridiculous statement about puberty, which has nothing to do with the thread. Followed by suggesting that I've claimed use of over 9000 drugs which, again, is no where to be found.. "Also challenging my knowledge of drugs by stabbing at the idea that I've only ever used "weed" (lol weed) or alcohol." "The sad part is, I've probably spilled more drugs than you've ever used. I don't see where anything I've said would point you to believe that I have 0 knowledge. But hey everyone's is entitled to their own opinions. Right?" Oh man, you're so harcore, having spilled so many drugs, only noobs say "weed". And you felt the need to use the slang "Sass" just to gain some much needed credibility. "MDA, or Sass" What was the need to add the slang term? Stop, just stop. | ||

You're proud of your sobriety and I congratulate you on that, but I'm actually proud of the way I can take control and utilize drugs to get ahead in life; very few people have the amount of self-control that I do. I've been an occasional user for more than 5 years now, and my pride comes from staying an occasional user because I know and have seen the fucked up path that excessive use leads to (that you've been through). I keep a strict routine/schedule/substance cycle of about 3-4 things that I have on rotation for tolerance and dependence control, meaning I do not develop an addiction or even dependence and I do not build up a tolerance to anything that I take. As a last line of "safety" if you will, twice a year (every 5 months) I take a break from everything, remaining completely sober barring the monthly drinks with friends. I've already stated 2 pages ago that I realized the reason for my social boost is simply happiness, and as someone who has taken many of the euphoric substances you should know exactly what I mean; NOTHING compares to the euphoric enhancements that certain chemicals bring you, not even close. Some would rebut by telling a user to go skydiving, find higher meaning in life through art, have sex, etc., but that argument is irrelevant because the way I feel about it, applicable to me, "taking drugs" isn't an activity by itself but rather an enhancement one uses to elevate the aforementioned activities. Sex, gaming, traveling, etc. are just light-years better while chemically enhanced there's no denying that. No one is truly happy and completely worry-free, there's always something that's worrisome and bothers even the most successful and happiest people on earth. The drugs elevates you to a state of mind of total contentment, focus and insights, thus enhancing one's ability to successfully interact with others. | ||
