<p>Am I crazy for spending the last five minutes laughing out loud after reading this? Can you imagine some kid: “Now that I know that my hero Hitler does mescaline, I must try it!!!”</p>
<p>Oh my goodness … my eyes are watering at the moment … my stomach hurts from laughing … I don’t know why I found this funny. Maybe I’m high at the moment and don’t even know it!!!</p>
<p>:sighs: Yo soy loca. :p</p>
<p>Of course it isn’t impossible to be successful without drugs, but in some cases the drugs have definitely facilitated the creativity.</p>
<p>Also, I believe you’re thinking of “post hoc ergo propter hoc”
A preceded B, therefore A caused B.</p>
<p>Edit: yours may be right too actually, hadn’t heard that. Seems like the difference between the two is quite subtle.</p>
<p>Have him write that he is the sole owner of the drugs in the room and make him sign it and date it.</p>
<p>Now, you can’t actually use this because legally you can’t “know” that there are drugs in the room and not report them either. But him knowing that he signed it will make him far more likely to own up to it if he were caught (instead of letting you take the fall), and you can use it if he tries to make it seem like they are solely your property because then he’d be getting in trouble no matter what.</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>you can pack your bags and get the f out of there. Seriously, I would not want to befriend a junkie</p>

<p>Obama did coke, he wrote about it in his book.</p>
<p>Can’t overdose on LSD, you can from weed but the worst that will happen is you throw up. </p>
<p>D.A.R.E. is a scare tactic organization the government uses to spread myths about drugs and ignore their benefits. </p>
<p>Some of you have some incredibly ignorant views of drugs. Junkies are heroin addicts, crack addicts, maybe meth heads. Certainly not pot heads who like to experiment here and there. I have found that people who use drugs have a better grip on reality. They realize how screwed up our society is, how illogical it is for people to just “accept” reality as “the way it is” when we’re living in a world like Yousassrian (Catch 22) was. It’s completely rational to want to escape something as irrational as society. </p>
<p>I don’t think drugs make you more successful, but I think they make people more understanding. As in, it doesn’t make sense for people who have never touched drugs to craft drug policy, because they don’t understand why people do drugs, so they don’t understand how to properly educate people about them. I have plenty of friends on both sides- users and abstainers, and the people who have done drugs tend to be more tolerant, understanding and open minded. Case in point: look how people on here who have never done drugs call a person who smokes some bud a junkie and drug addict. Clearly those people are not educated. LSD, MDMA, Ecstasy and Marijuana are not addictive. I think the definition of a junkie is a drug addict. </p>
<p>Psychadelics are simply incredible drugs. The most successful cure for drug addiction is Ibogaine treatment- which is a powerful psysch that relieves all withdrawal symptoms and eliminates future drug cravings. There are studies going on at John Hopkins using shrooms. Shrooms have been used as an experimental treatment for nicotine addiction. </p>
<p>Additionally, drugs such as acid have been well written about in the 60s and 70s. Acid is really hard to describe. People don’t always trip from it, and sometimes it needs to be mixed with other drugs to reach its full effect, but it redefines the realm of possibility. Trips are beyond the imagination for someone that hasn’t done it. Indescribable, and very powerful. People lose control during trips, and can’t communicate what is happening. Acid is just a very interesting drug, and I believe it is the American Pyschiatric Association or some national organization that recently brought up discussion about using acid in pyschotherapy, something that hasn’t been discussion in decades. Old studies conducted int he 1950s claim that acid treatment cured schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Psychadelics are interesting drugs because scientist don’t fully understand how they interact with the brain. Which isn’t surprising considering dr’s don’t understand why certain mood stabilizers or anti depressants work.</p>
<p>Anyways, I don’t think drugs make or break success. Plenty of successful people have done them, most Americans have smoked weed. It doesn’t make you more or less creative, but certain drugs do allow you to tap into the subconscious or a level of thought previously thought impossible to attain. Drugs are very interesting, and the stigma attached to them is startling. Sure, some drugs are bad, but others can be used as tools for spiritual and consciouness exploration. There is actually a seminar called Horizans in New York where a bunch of doctor’s and scholars discuss the benefits of pyschedelics.</p>
<p>Not sure why you would make a list of people who you claim were successful because of drugs and then include Paris Hilton and Hitler on the list.</p>
<p>Paris Hilton and Adolph Hitler are both successful people. Paris Hilton is an idiot, but she’s been able to still make her own money. Hitler was evil, but he obviously was a successful person to take control of a country.</p>
<p>Well with that logic I can also say dumb people smoke weed… or evil people smoke weed.</p>
<p>Correlation != causation</p>
<p>(and for the record I support the legalization of weed)</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the greatest harm to a cause is often dealt by an ignorant supporter.</p>
<p>I recommend drug abuse to everyone I know.</p>
