Drugs-Is it okay to not do them?

[Johnny Bravo]

"Nah man im cool"

"Nah its alright later"

Just dont seem stuck up when you do it. Just act as if you already had some or was like bored of it.

"Wanna play xbox?"
"Nah its cool"


That attitude ^

^^^This.

I don't do drugs even though my group of friends was the first group to get into it and the hard shit too (e.g. acid, coke, that kinda shit)

People will give you more respect BECAUSE you don't do drugs even though most people would have caved in by now. So yes. It's very possible to not do drugs in HS, and you can actually use it to your advantage, just make sure that when they ask you why not, you have a good answer, and one that doesn't alienate them (e.g. Don't go "DRUGS ARE BAD AND THEY"RE GONNA KILL YOU!!!!! as a response to "Why don't you try it?" )

Definitely have a good response, and one that doesn't criticize their choice to do drugs.

Something like "It's just not me man." or something that shows them it was your decision is good.

No you don't. Don't think other people are worse for it or anything though, and be cool about it.

But you may want to try them, stuff like weed and alcohol (esp. weed, alcohol is actually pretty dangerous in the hands of stupid/inexperienced people) are generally safe and very fun. Just don't do hard drugs, and don't get hooked on cigs (once in a while is OK, they are AMAZING when on other substances).

I'm sorry, but that is one thing I do not agree with.
Cigarettes with FUCK. YOU. UP.
Permanently. idk about where you live, but here in NY there are commercials all the time showing how smoking can fuck you up.
Cigs are the one and only drug I would never touch alongside PCP.

oh shit. smoking kills?!
cause I never read that on the packet

I think he knows the effects they can have, but chooses to do them anyway.

Yea but that's stupid =.=
I strongly advise everyone here to not smoke cigarettes.

And that's that, I'm not touching on this subject again cuz I can come off like a dick cuz I really dislike cigarettes.

P.S. Sorry if I insulted you guys, didn't mean it xP
P.P.S. Well I did mean it but don't take it too seriously lol =D

[extra]

You're right, they are VERY bad for you if you smoke them a lot. On the other hand, if you keep it on the low end they are not going to kill you. Personally, I only smoke if i'm with other people that are, and that's not too often with the people I chill with.

P.S. no offense taken mate

[Dream]

No offense here either, don't worry about it

It's your choice, never forget that, ever.
if u definetly dont want to do them, the thing is that its very hard to say no to drugs without sounding like a wuss in front of all ur buddies, its best to just try to avoid that situation. try not to make a big deal out if it if theyre offering u some, just say no thanks real quick, if they keep going on and on about it then maybe its best to just say fuck it and give it a shot.

[kristallnachte]

eh, personally, I don't know anyone that ever tries to press drugs or alc on anybody. They offer but never make it a big deal.

A lot of my good friends have been smoking cigarettes a couple times a day or more for the last year and already they go into long coughing fits every ten minutes....it's not good for your game, and you don't need to smoke to game girls who do

and they always are the cliche "I'm not addicted, I just like it cuz it makes me feel good" kind of guys

and healthwise instead of gamewise, you're literate, you've seen the labels, it's your choice

just know that all the effects of cigarettes (e.g. the increased dopamine, neuroepinephrine, etc.)
can all be stimulated through other actions, like just being happy and gaming girls. That's why 78% of manic depressives (based on a single mental asylum's survey) smoke cigarettes. To make up for some emotions and happiness that they're lacking. But sooner than later they became dependent on the cigarettes and then they can't quit without serious withdrawal and depression or bitchiness. And they can never reach the same type of emotional high that people who don't use drugs can....unless they use drugs....so they get in a circle which forces themselves to use drugs, which ends up really fucking up their lives

I'm a big believer that you should try to be as independent as possible, and drugs are an easy way to fall into dependencies because it has to do with your biology ---- while your mind is thinking your not addicted, your body is

I've seen a lot of friends getting their lives fucked up by drugs over the years, and I almost joined in with them last year and wanted to start doing acid, but got sick that weekend and couldn't go out (Sign from God, anyone? )

My point is, it's your choice, just look over it logically before making any decisions

EDIT: Here's some cool scientific studies on it, I'm not sure which page exactly

books.google.com/books?id=MMlxzMNkE_0C&pg=PA238&lpg=PA238&dq=malcolm+gladwell+on+smoking&source=bl&ots=hg0zGFlAF7&sig=aox_PCxajcybILWDL_Ffe-uCvTA&hl=en&ei=E_gnSvrSKJDCM9WdrYIF&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5

[Mandrake]

Scratch that, I just checked, it's page 216

[nagarith]

99% of my friends smoke (lol, I don't) and whenever they offer I'm just like:
"Fuck no!"-Me
"Why not?"-Druggie friend
"Shit's fun, and I'm a self loathing, emo little bitch"-Me

If you can get em to laugh you can get em to shut up.
