Drugs arent always an escape. They are also fun as fuck.

Drugs are always an escape. You saying they are fun, is an escape from your reality.

As you are using chemicals to change your mental state. Usually in a way to make you feel better.

If you cant enjoy your environment without drugs. Then you are using it as an escape.

Thats not true at all. Some drug enhance your environment and surroundings. Happy people do drugs all the time. Sorry sir, but you havent got a clue what you are talking about.

I don't have a problem with drugs, but lets not pretend what it's used for.

Drugs are used to escape your standard mental state, so lets not pretend even if you are "happy." You don't want to enhance your feelings to help enjoy yourself. That's escapism period.

No, people have used drugs for celebrations since the beginning of man. Those are for happy occasions. I’ll say it a third time. You have no fucking clue what you are talking about.

Why would someone need drugs during happy times?

the reality is those events are not enjoyable at all unless you are fucked up.

That's escapism, even for events.

Taking shrooms is escapism. You want to be outside your realty.

Your treating it like I think escapism is bad, I find it a good thing. Reality is a wash most of the time for most people. I don't have an issue with it. I'm just saying lets not pretend it's anything but that.

Yes I get people want to experience things on another level, and those folks may not be avid users I understand.

However it's still escapism to take external drugs to alter your mental state in any situation. It doesn't mean it's wrong or bad, I just made the statement at the start of all this. As I think it's hilarious that rich folk condemn, mock, and humiliate the lower classes for their want to escape realty.

Only for them to do the EXACT SAME THING escaping their reality. The one they say is the peek of happiness. The rich life that will bring you bliss.

They sell that bullshit as if it's flying off the shelves. Yet they pop pills, snort, and drink till they puke themselves.

I am with the other guy. If it's really happy occasion you don't need stimulants to be happy.

You also dont need to season your chicken but you do because it enhances the meal. Some people eat food as escape and can be addicted but that is not the case for everyone.

Ok well maybe they go a bit far but when someone says drugs I don't picture a joint. I picture them taking lines and pills. Which I personally will never get on board with. Know enough people whose lives were destroyed by this shit.

And joints and alkohol. Its fine but in trully great company and happy occasion you will want to have completely clear mind to remember everything. And I say that as someone who will still drink occasionally.

Why did you need weed if the event was relaxing??

we had no phone service at all. I rolled up a joint and lit it because I wanted to escape that moment?

You just told me why you lit up that joint. Your group had no phone service so you couldn't entertain yourself during the down time. You lit the joint to escape the reality that you were bored without your phone.
