Positive experiences of drug usage? (A short essay).

[raid517]

Bingo, you're getting closer! But as you say these stories are already well known.

What I'm looking for is ordinary board members positive stories.

I am certain that these can make equally interesting reading.

Why do you want these over popular ones which are well documented and verifiable? It may well help you get responses if you can give a good reason as some may find it suspicious that you are insisting on stories that will ultimately reveal personal details, even if that suspicion is a paranoid one.

[raid517]

Names dates, places etc. are what is incriminating. There is no need for anyone to include any of these.

And why do I wish to include them? Well to be honest I just thought that they would make an interesting anecdotal addition to the essay - and would be a bit more real and a bit more appealing perhaps than these other more widely quoted (and often misquoted) stories that you mentioned.

However this is turning out to be very much more difficult to achieve than I had hoped. I can understand people's paranoia - well I can kind of I suppose, but really I was just looking to write a happy chirpy little essay that poked fun at an existing social norm - and perhaps raise some interesting cultural questions in the process too.

The following is a true story, & possibly not for the squeamish...

A Certain Mouse I know had an epiphany on the toilet after 3 sleepless acid fuelled days on the West coast of Scotland. He''d already had some of the most magickal moments of his young life through the weekend already when on the last morning he realised he hadn't had a dump for days. Gravity & peristalsis immediately took over & off to the bog he trotted. As his bowels saw the Void, & 3 days of compacted organic no-longer-yumminess was evacuated, his mind positively blew. Suddenly he got it - this is why people do anal sex! He had an insight into a portion of the population he never had before, giving him a greater understanding of many of his friends. Not only that but he never knew a bodily function other than one directly related to the genitalia could have such a profound effect!

Is that the sort of thing you're looking for?

Lol, I guess that's in jest. A little attempt at sarcasm? It was very well done though, I have to say. Although I'm not sure how far a magical turd can really take me.

Also, here's a positive one SWIM experienced.

While under the influence of shrooms for the first time (a rather small amount, a little over a gram, unknown species) something good happened to him. He felt a little more cheerful and things seemed slightly brighter. He was walking along a city street at night and something shiny caught his eye. OOOOO SHINY!!! He picked it up and... VOILA! A memory card 4x the size of the one he currently had. Would his eyes have picked up the faint glimmer of this camera memory card had it not been for the shrooms? Who knows.

Jest? Sarcasm? It really is a true story! The Mouse doesn't lie!

[raid517]

So it really was a magical turd? Erm... Nice one mate.... :P

Plenty of material for you to work with there.

There is a case study in there somewhere raid 517.

As I feel this is a noble cause I will attempt to describe a story that SWIM told me.

While taking mushrooms one day, SWIM realised how terribly bad his relationship with his brother was. He immediately took steps to rectify this and soon after him and his younger brother went out for the night in his brothers words- 'as mates for the first time'. They are now good friends. SWIM would not have realised this without the analytical effects of mushrooms.

I feel like the argument "drugs can have positive outcome" has a pretty simple way to get people to agree.

"Do you listen to music? Do you read novels? Do you enjoy art or cinema? Well it's pretty a high probability that at least one musician, novel or movie that you really enjoy was created under the influence of some type of illegal drug, either marijuana, stimulants, opiates, psychedelics or other drug. Wouldn't you consider that a positive outcome?"

One day, after swim was waiting for almost a week, swim's friend finally pulled through and swim was finally able to purchase some adderall. After purchasing 5 30mg adderall, swim excitedly got back onto his own bus and consumed one of the 30mg capsules. At first, swim was dissapointed because swim wasn't feeling any effects, so when swim got home, swim decided to take another 30mg capsule, this time with a can of diet coke. After an hour, swim began to feel a slight bit of excitement and euphoria that definitely wasn't there before. This new feeling of euphoria and excitement made swim really happy. Since it was the first time swim was using adderall, he had no idea what to expect, and no idea what the effects were really like. The effects that swim felt continued to increase until around 9pm when swim's mother gave swim swim's nightly lorazepam. Everything was going great until the lorazepam began to kick in and slightly decrease the effects of the adderall. Swim then decided that he would wait an hour and take the other 3 of his 30mg capsules with a can of diet coke to help with the process of digesting them faster. Once it hit 10pm, swim took his last 3 remaining capsules and took them with a full can of diet coke. For the first 2 hours, swim did not notice any effects. Finally, around 12:30pm, swim began to feel very energetic and very euphoric, much more than he was previously. For the next hour in a half, the effects increased more and more. Now, its around 1:30am for swim, and the effects are still increasing more and more. Swim is excited about his new experiment with adderall, and swim is most likely going to purchase more tomorrow after school.
