I like this thread, its like a mental show and tell
Age: 22
Gender (Please circle one): M
Location/Ethnicity: Midwest United States/White
Are you an only child? No
Are you parents separated? No
Do you, or have you ever used illicit drugs? Yes
Do you or have you ever abused other, legal substances? Yes
If so to either, what type of drugs were used and at what age did you start these practices? Weed, Opium, LSD, Shrooms, Cocaine, Whipits, Alcohol, Painpills, I think that's about it. Don't touch heroine or meth or the rocks, though a good friend is a heroine addict.
What reasons do you/do you not have for taking drugs? Not really escaping from anything, infact I've found myself and become a better person from certain drugs. If you respect the drugs you do, you can learn alot. If you don't, you'll learn alot...in a different way.
Do you believe that certain illegal drugs should be either legalised or decriminalised? If so, which ones? Weed yes, and though I believe that everyone should experience LSD once in their life, its right up there with a world without racism & violence. You can't change stupid.
Do your friends use similar drugs and/or share similar views to you? (Please circle one)
God yes, I would go insane if I had to hide my habits. Also it's easier to relate. But I have friends who dont do drugs too, as long as they respect my lifestyle, I respect theirs. I started doing drugs to elevate my thought, not become close minded and unnaccepting. Tho, since LSD, I do have a bit of the superiority complex....but at the same time, have shed my ego. It's a strange thing.
Do you have a drug related mental condition? (Please circle one)
No, I have a.d.d. but since I was a small child...technically, you could say thats where drug use started...
Do you feel that there is a connection between the creative arts and drug culture in any way? If so, how?
Doing drugs doesn't make you creative if you don't have the spark already.
With that said, of course there is a connection.
Do any of the musical groups you listen to influence your decision? If so, how? And what music do you listen to?
No, the band that had the biggest influence on my life at a young age was Nirvana. & I'm not doing heroin.
Have the attitudes presented in films towards drugs made you think about them in a different way? If so, please circle whether it positive or negative.
Neutral. Real life has made me think about certain drugs in a different way.
Do you feel that drug use is glorified in the world of creative arts? If so, please circle which aspect of the creative arts you feel glorifies drug use.
Film and Television Music Visual Art Literature Other (Please specify)
No.
