Escape

I know where your comming from...


People who do drugs are people who don't accept our society today. If we ACTUALLY lived NATURALLY like we are supposed to, we'd just be running around naked thinking about how beautiful the world is and enjoying eachother. If you just think about it, we are far from what in my opinion we are supposed to be doing. All the average person thinks about today is money, work, school, what's on the news, sports, reality tv shows... you know. Everyone is living in they're own little fucking fantasy world and they wouldn't even dare to question the safe aura that the government projects. People today are just overly influenced sheep. We are being controlled 24 hours a day mentally and even emotionaly. Generally people are aware to some degree that the media influences you, but no one really realises how much it does. Everyone is living an elaborate distraction. I mean, you NEED money to survive. Just think about that. You need a special kind of piece of paper that the goverment prints in a factory just to survive. You DIE without money. If that's not completly sick then I don't know what is. I can't really explain things like this very well but basically marijuana is just kind of making you let go and giving your head a fucking break. The things you think about when you're high, you would think about all the time if we didn't live in the society we live in today. Not THE WAY you think, but the things you think about.

As I said it's really hard for me to explain things like this but I hope you catch my drift.

 

Drugs are a waste of time. They destroy your memory and your self-respect and everything that goes along with with your self esteem. - Kurt Cobain

Drugs give you a different way to look at life, so that maybe you can live it better. If you are constantly fucked up, I'd say you have a problem, life wasn't meant to be lived that way, lifes about variety, learning new things, trying new things, doing things a different way...
I think drugs get a bad wrap, nothing wrong with taking a substance to experience things in a new way, and look at things in a new way..

what are we escaping from? ...

monotony..

 

ironic coming from a heroin addict, eh?

KC kicked so much ass I cant even begin to explain it... so i wont try... its like trying to describe what a higher dimension looks like...

and cube...

 

Simply put, in my opinion, hegemony. We are conditioned by social constructs to accept our position in life. Like Marx said, "religion is the opium of the masses". Human beings can not be completely happy with a master slave dialect, yet since the hegemonic process has taken thousands of years no one questions their role/position in life, let alone change it, instead we take comfort in meaningless commodities.... and drugs.

Obviously oppression (unconcious though it may be) is not the only contributing factor but in my mind it is the prime degrader of human happiness/freedom which systemically brings about other problems... even though we live in a Liberal society in which freedom is supposed to be maximized.

 

I find that drugs don't take me to a different place. They don't alter my reality. What I find is that they help me shed all of the garbage that has piled up on me all day. They help me step back, look at things from a different angle, and realize the good things and dump the rest.
I have no desire to escape. I have no desire to be numb. Just need a little help putting things into perspective sometimes!

 

Revolution?, why don't you post more often?

 

Yup, nothing like kickin back at the end of a day you stressed yourself out and just getting high as a mother fucker. Marijuana enhances my reality.

 

I like to try and solve my problems when im high whether its writing a paper, working out, whatever i have to do being high helps normally.

I agree that yourself and only yourself can make you truely happy. Its like a balancing act between decisions and responsibilities.

 

Drugs are only an escape when you make it that way. period.

 

why live in this state that we are given... there is no reality just variations of the human concepts of the world... drugs do what drugs do and sobriety does what sobriety does... when together they display the best views on the world ever

 

heh, drugs are just the start of it, why read? watch tv? play video games? DO ANYTHING? is the real world soooooooooooo bad? [YES] after seeing the lord of the rings films i wished them to be real, to exist there gives purpose in life, after reading the runelords books i wanted them to be real, same deal as LOTR really

merely existing sucks soooo bad that we HAVE to have fantasy universes to get past, be it battlesome war filled places or just the soaps on tv, ther is NO puropse in living in these times... so why are ppl soo attached to life?

 

Hey I felt the same way as you and realized I have depression. It runs in my family and all those things you said and is the exact symptoms of depression. They have anti depressants but I choose to sick with bud as my "medicine" for it.

 

For me drugs are something to help everyday stress and small problems. You want to use drugs and not abuse them

 

Yes I totally agree that it shouldn't be the way things are solved. I just feel that pot gets me the feeling of joy even if I only use it once every other day or so. I always am much more energetic and have a great personality and get along better with everyone. To solve the expense I am hoping to grow 1-2 plants when I get my own place.

 

people shouldn't take life so seriously. im 18, i could almost be halfway done with my life. i dont know, who knows? no one knows. there's no afterlife, there's nothing when you die. we're all overevolved monkeys who've learned how to make our surroundings better suit our needs.

since im already halfway done with my life, or maybe 3/4ths of the way done, ive been devoting my time to things that make life more fun. no college, no after-high school bullshit. ive already learned everything im going to need to know how to do when im on my own. college is an american myth, the education system makes us want to go to college so that the united states can discover the cure for aids. why do we need to know the cure for aids or cancer? it's natures population control.

drugs arent an escape from reality, it's just doing something that you like.
