<p>Absolutely. My friend who goes to Penn smokes/drinks all the time at home, and he says he does it at school. He’s very responsible about it though, I suppose I admire how he managed his social life and academics during high school. Obviously Penn is not Harvard, but you get the point.</p>
<p>The extent of my partying is… pretty rad. This weekend my I’m going to my friend’s birthday party and most of the time we’ll be playing Nintendo 64 and the rest of the time… playing Wii.</p>
<p>I think people who do drugs are foolish. Their lifestyles are worse than the lifestyles of people who do not use drugs. My opinions are 100% indisputable facts.</p>
<p>Wiscongene, by saying you’d never heard of an ecstasy user as smart as “yours truly,” after seeing four people on this forum who use it, you were insulting our intelligence.</p>
<p>That’s the only reason I said I’m smarter than you. Not as a criticism, but as a fact. It’s 29 degrees outside, and I’m smarter than you. And I use ecstasy.</p>
<p>That’s why I take a shower as soon after as possible. I would never be high in public, so (although I may be within 10 miles of you) you will never smell me.</p>
<p>Oh, I know. I was at this gay pride parade after party thing, never been around so much weed in my life. Everyone was smoking in such a concentrated area, you could not get away from the smell. But I think you’d get use to it.</p>
<p>^^ I honestly thought you were being sarcastic. Drugs in particular allow you to have new feelings, thoughts, and a different type of happiness. That is not to say my life is boring without drugs and I need them to be happy. Honestly, just try smoking once or tripping once and you will understand. Alcohol allows some who are awkward socially or even outgoing to have a better time than they would normally have. Again, these people would have a fun time without alcohol, just less fun. Try it. I’m not saying you become the next cheech/Chong or Shulgin or drink like an alcoholic. Put your judgments aside and try it, just once.</p>
<p>Ecstasy? LOL. I wasn’t even talking about ecstasy. But yea, that’s another bad one. And yes, you’re much smarter than me. The world agrees with you simply because I don’t do drugs…</p>
<p>I’ve already told you that I know kids do stuff at Harvard. The only places they don’t are the military academies and places like BYU (which, aside from the religious aspect, is looking mighty appealing right now…) Rich elitists can get away with doing pretty much whatever they want in this country and remain rich elitists till the day they die. Me? I’m not so fortunate…</p>
<p>Doesn’t change the fact that I consider it foolish.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Now, and I’m being serious, here’s something fun that you could do with friends (of both sexes) and could probably even get away with drinking a little bit during the activity, so long as you didn’t become drunk. </p>
<p>The whole “roller, MTV-lifestyle” need not apply. And I don’t think ecstasy needs to be involved. Lol.</p>
<p>I don’t really care if someone smokes weed, but I find the whole weed ‘culture’ to be obnoxious. I can’t stand the h4rdc0r3 stoners-- the kids who wear the tie-dye and hemp and brag about who much kush they smoke-up everyday.</p>
<p>Recreational drug use has been a part of human society and culture since, well, the beginning of society and culture. It is only recently that a sort of stigma was applied to them. Look at most artificial psychedelic drugs - they are simply a synthetic version of naturally occurring hallucinogens, and in many cases are less powerful (read: Ibogaine [Ibogaine</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibogaine]Ibogaine”>Ibogaine - Wikipedia)).</p>
<p>To put down a faction of society simply for indulging in what has been ritual - secular or spiritual - since the beginning of human life, is an ignorant blanket statement. To put down “mind altering” drugs such as pot and psychedelics is favor of alcohol is even less informed considering the substantial evidence that the aforementioned are less harmful.</p>
<p>^^Right, because psychedelics have accomplished so very much for humanity… My experience has been that they serve no purpose other than a superficial one. Surely, you’ve arrived at nirvana or some other heightened plane of existence through the usage of such drugs?</p>
<p>Yea, whatever, I’m still not convinced. And I’m still the judgmental one for being annoyed at such a superficial culture…</p>
