anyone play drunk or high? (18+ topic of course)

[FlacidJack]

 

I always assumed all adults that play are on something.

IMO At a certain age you must start to question how much time you've wasted playing pointless video games. Being high just delays the answer to that question long enough to keep enjoying what makes you happy.

I can't understand how a sober grown adult can justify playing video games. Any sober person knows there's nothing to gain from playing & tons of better things to do, how could you suppress that feeling without some mind altering substance that helps fade away reality & allows you to be fully immersed in a virtual world? I'd really like to know the answer to that.

Why would an adult only do "usefull stuff"? After all my studying for work I couldn't justify to play a videogame for relaxation? You must be a sad person.

you just justified it & someone else was able to do it as well without name calling. I do understand now, I get it, so i'm sorry if my ignorance offended you.

[Silencer81]

Guys, it's a trap!! Op is undercover cop working with R*. Those of you who have admitted to taking illegal substances, a paddy wagon has been despatched to your location. Run!

I'm not doing anything illegal here in The Netherlands (it's condoned, not officially legal by law). It's also completely legal in a lot of states in the USA. It's strange that some US states are further than our government in legalizing it.

I didn't expect this reaction. No problem! Sorry for my reaction, but you kinda asked for it.

My problem was heavy alcohol abuse and heavy marijuana addiction, as well as regular tobacco use. I tried cocaine, mushrooms, opium, ether, and hydrocodone, but never did them enough to become addicted to those.

 

Due to alcohol abuse, I've been arrested several times and hospitalized twice. I've suffered multiple concussions, I've been jumped and beat up until my teeth were rearranged and chipped and my nose broken and my gums split open, I've knocked other people's teeth out, I've punched people off side-walks for no good reason, I've had my head cut open, I've had near-death experiences while driving, I've alienated friends and lovers and family. I also lost the love of my life (and two other amazing women who I loved as well) and one of my best friends.

 

To me, the DRUG alcohol is the worst drug of them all. That's my experience.

 

 

Due to marijuana use, finishing my B.A. took about 3-4 years longer than it would have otherwise. I also put off and totally shelved many creative projects because I was too high and too lazy too often to finish anything.

 

 

The belief that marijuana is not addictive is pure myth.

 

 

Marijuana is as addictive as anything, but it is true that it doesn't have a lot of physical side effects. It can, however, have devastating negative psychological side-effects, such as extreme paranoia, depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. It also impairs motor function, memory, and especially the ability to dream. Near the end of smoking marijuana, even after I had stopped drinking for almost two months, I was hallucinating and still suffering from delusions while high. (the hallucinations were not silly, like seeing a miniature Trevor running around, but like shadows and light manipulation, seeing shadows that appeared to be objects out of the corner of my eyes, imagining things were there that were not... never any full blown, fully formed objects)

 

When I was drinking heavily and smoking marijuana heavily at the same time, my delusional paranoia was extreme to the point that I will not share it here. To put it simply, I had developed in my mind completely false and fantastical paranoid delusions that I believed were justified (however falsely) to the point of self-righteous insanity.

 

 

Since I have stopped using everything, ALL OF THE PARANOIA AND DELUSIONS HAVE GONE AWAY.

 

 

I often make what might seem like extreme statements in the forums about how most people in the United States suffer from undiagnosed psychological illnesses. I'm serious when I say that. Living in this country is devastating psychologically. If you're one of those people and you turn to drugs, expect your psychological illness to rear its ugly ass out at some point in your life. If you're on the borderline, drugs might be just the thing to push you into the psychologically ill category.

 

What they say about being healthy (in mind and body) is true; it's boring. Exercise and eating healthy and getting good sleep is about all that matters, well... and sex. Drugs aren't going to make you feel any better than those four things will, not in the end.

 

However high you get, the fall is always greater.

 

 

You're getting defensive when I haven't attacked you or anybody else. Did I say anything about a litmus test or holding everyone to my standard of being completely sober?

 

You said we're talking about smoking weed and drinking here for the most part...

 

Those are precisely the two drugs that practically destroyed my life.

 

I'm not sure how old you are, or how heavy of a user you are, or whether or not you are an addict (just because somebody has smoked weed or drank or drinks alcohol, does not mean they are an addict), but maybe you haven't gotten addicted, and maybe you won't. But I can tell you that if you're a daily or even weekly user, you're already addicted.

 

I wasn't aggressive or even passive aggressive in anything that I said about drugs and addiction. If you took what I said defensively, that is strictly on you.

 

 

 

 

Don't believe it when anybody tells you that alcohol and marijuana aren't addictive, or that they're not drugs. They are addictive, and they are drugs.

 

I'm an addict and an alcoholic, so I don't do anything. I get nothing positive in any way whatsoever out of using drugs. I only lose time...

 

[EDIT]: ...and money, and friends, and family, and potential, and happiness, and health, and longevity, and clarity, and and and and and and and and and ad infinitum.

 

 

 

 

I appreciate the reply, and I do apologise if my post came across as accusatory to you, that wasn't my intent.

 

I'm a daily user, but I take breaks of several weeks or so to lower my tolerance level a few times a year. The fact that I have that degree of control over my usage, and that I am able to entirely abandon use at whim is proof that I am not an addict.

 

There's a strong case to be made for people who have addictive personalities having issues with marijuana. That does not mean that the substance itself is addictive. It's been proven time and again that it's not physically addictive in any respect, and any "symptom" of addiction seen from it is no more than a psychological trait formed through habitual use.

 

You saying that the idea that it's not addictive is a myth simply isn't true, and is a reductive point to make. The withdrawal experienced by users like us is in 99.9% of cases very mild, and isn't even comparable to giving up cigarettes. Unfortunately, you appear to have been affected on a much deeper level than any of us ever will.

 

Oh, and since you asked, I'm 28.

Maybe it's not physically addictive, but that doesn't mean it does no harm. I know that's not exactly what you're saying, but a lot of people who take it/other "light" drugs do seem to get on their high horses and pretend it's somehow better than other drugs. It does make a lot of people paranoid, and there's a suspiciously high amount of mental illness in Jamaica (where it gets used a lot). Not to mention burning anything and inhaling can give cancer, so there's that too.

 

Something doesn't have to be physically addictive anyway - a person can technically get addicted to just about anything. I personally would say that it can stop you from properly looking for something that really interests you/actually gives you enjoyment - there's always the easy way out of just getting high instead.

 

It's the same with alcohol too though, and legal or not, it's all the same in my eyes. You used to be able to buy crystal meth tablets in Germany - didn't even need a prescription or anything. They gave it to Nazi soldiers so they could march and fight for days without sleep, a lot of them went crazy in the end too. Pretty sure Hitler took them all the time as well.

 

TL;DR: it's a s**tty habit, whether it's legal, illegal, physically addictive or not.

I don't smoke anything, but have no issue with those that do. As long as it doesn't effect others then what people do in their free time is up to them imo...

 

As for Drink, I enjoy a pint at weekends (I'm a nightshift worker and a professional driver so I have to be very careful over drinking) but tend not to play PS4 afterwards, unless to watch Youtube. I once tried to boot up GTA Online after returning from the pub, took a car from Weazel towers and managed to hit everything between there and central LSC, twice, so turned it back off and went to sleep...

[Kushology]

Never commented here and am not reading 7 pages of arguments.

 

I play high most of the time, doesn't really change how I play.

 

Played drunk twice, day before and on my birthday, wasn't too bad. Didn't really give a sh*t about anything, was wrecking people just the same as I would, only the camera started to make me dizzy sometimes. Max sensitivity and alcohol is a bad mix.

 

I have a few people on my friends list who does Ecstasy or Dabs, can't really speak for them but the one who plays while on E plays better than the one who dabs, by far.

That's a fair enough position to take. It's not for everyone, and that's just fine.

 

People often make the assumption that people who smoke weed are all lazy, demotivated people who aren't productive or can't function properly. Now, I can only speak for myself, but that just isn't true in my case. I would use marijuana to make an already fun activity even more enjoyable to me, but I wouldn't smoke up just to be ok with being bored. I think that's where the danger begins with regards to what you said about it preventing you finding something you really enjoy, and I agree with you on that particular strand of your comment.

 

I do have to take issue with what you said about smoking, though. Yes, anything that you burn and inhale isn't going to be good for your body, but we also discussed vaping in this thread, which has none of those drawbacks. Carcinogen free, the same as baked goods.

at least you dont harm anyone while on sugar.

You don't harm anyone under the influence of THC either, but you are probably some asshat goody two shoes that is afraid of the miracle leaf.

 

 

have i ever played drunk or high?

erm, no. cause i value my life.

 

might be hyper, going through a can of rockstar, but thats completely different.

lmfao at this post right here. Oh the the irony in it. So you won't smoke a natural plant from the earth because you "value your life" but you will drink a can of basically straight poison. Lol yea keep listening to the politicians mate.

You value your life yet you drink a can of Rockst-- I mean, toxic poison. Right.

 

i wanna put on record i picked how i wanna live my life, i never specified how you should live yours, and i really dont give a flying f--k how you wanna chose to live your life.

 

all i stated was that i prefer to go through sugar, not drugs/alcohol. so shut the f--k up.

You missed the point entirely. Nobody was criticising your choice of poison, they were criticising the ironic position you were taking with regards to the choices of others. Obviously, you can drink what you please.

 

Look at the back of a can of Rockstar. How many of those RDA's are over 100%? Hell, how many of them are 1000% of your RDA? That's in one can.

 

Believe me, your kidneys and liver will thank you no more for drinking that than they will for drinking whiskey.

i havnt seen my doctor in about 5 years, as im in relatively good heath. i never put on record of my knees as i can get sperodic pain from it, i keep walking. but that started about 7yrs ago, when i was only drink orange juice.

Time to see the doctor, mate. I think you might be mental.

[Hajimbo]

Look, I've never done it, but it's not that bad. I did an extensive research paper in college and talked to some of the top medical doctors at The University of Michigan and Houston. The consensus was that if you smoke pot, it's not going to help you unless medically prescribed by a doctor to be used as an antidepressant. On the flip side, it can kill brain cells, but it's not as bad as it sounds. If you start smoking at 20 and continue until you are 30, you will see little change in your brain function. People who act like weed is some kind of extreme drug that needs to be banned all around the world are idiots and people who think weed is some kind of gift from the gods are idiots too. I say legalize the sh*t but keep laws in place that people cannot drive while impaired. If you think pot is bad for you, why would you want others to stay off it? It'd just be less competition for you in life. Also, if you think anything like LSD, cocaine, meth, etc are good for you somehow you're just a dumbass and should probably be in an asylum. Drinking also does absolutely nothing for you but I'm fine with it in moderation.

How anybody could play this game drunk is beyond me...

I don't drink often, but have an extremely high tolerance to alcohol, maybe because I am 6'5 245lbs... I can slam almost a 40 of Bacardi Gold straight and still be normal, I had 6 double Rum n Cokes and tried to play Online and it literally made me dizzy and sick.

I haven't played while drinking since, it's not enjoyable at all for me.

That's deplorable haha, half of that would set me up for the evening, I certainly wouldn't be 'normal' anyway. That's over a litre of rum, and I do love me some rum. Saying that, I'm 5'8 about 160lbs, so maybe that's about right!

I use to drink like a fish, especially between the age of 16-24. In high school we had a Beer store a block away from the school, since I looked older with my beard I never got ID'd and I'd buy 2- 40oz of Olde English and get plastered at Lunch.. I can't handle beer for some reason.

I drink heavily when depressed, but that hasn't been too much of an issue for a long time. Nowadays I barely drink, as I am older and wiser and look at all the people around me with bad drinking problems and it just puts me off.

Same thing with drugs, when I was younger I would do whatever I could find besides Heroin/Meth/Crack but nowadays I have no interest in any of the stuff.

Last "Hard" drug I did if you want to call it that, I did mushrooms while on a camping trip with 4 friends this summer.

 

I stick to my green herbs and I'm good, especially since I am now legal with a license and soon all of Canada will be legal or at least decriminalized.

I had to get blood work done at my doctors office and it was one where I had to fast for twelve hours before the test. The nurse specifically mentioned no food but didn't say anything about drinking so on my way to the doctors office I killed a monster energy drink and when my results came back the doctor thought I was diabetic because my sugar levels were off the charts and it also caused it look like my kidneys weren't functioning properly. I redid the test without an energy drink and everything was normal.

 

I don't plan to stop drinking energy drinks because I don't sleep much but it sure did open my eyes to how bad they really are for you.

[monkb4skunk]

I used to drink energy drinks pretty frequently. I felt like a new man when I decided to quit drinking them. And woe an behold, I have more energy haha that sh*t is legit poison used to kill off the masses in 20 years time all the side effects will be known. God they are good though.

Wow, this thread has lasted longer than I had thought. Perhaps does need some moderation here and there though (pardon the pun).

 

For me, the only negatives of cannabis use is lack of dreams and degrading memory. But it's the substance I've chosen to use on a daily basis (not any crazy quantities; I weigh everything I use) primarily for 'relief of the day's events' and for sleep aid. That said, and although it would be inevitable in the ranks, I do offer my sorrow and support for those people who are, or have been affected by substances to an extent where things have gotten really bad. Nobody wants to be wearing those shoes, and having 'control' over things is often easier said than done.

 

My trouser tool does seem to want hammering more often after consuming/ whilst intoxicated though.

 

...

 

Someone had asked about vapes. I own a Pulse Glass bong, as well as an Apix Design bong as of this year (first ever international customer) after having owned several other types or brands in the past. I just prefer the combustion high - even though I won't deny, the lungs were never designed to be processing smoke or related particles.

What I would say though is: Vaporizer technology seems to be changing and getting better all the time, so I would advise doing research. The "f*ck Combustion" forums is a good place for that - days worth of literature on that site. I'm personally not a fan of the Volcano - but I had considered purchasing the LSV (Life Saber Vape) due to being handheld and waterpipe compatible.

 

I think I'll be looking at vape pens that allow concentrates, or just bypass that and look at dabbing, when some more finances are available.

 

Anyway, gotta get back - one of the real druglords is on TV on Sky Select (Scarface).

Played super f*cking drunk one time during X-Mas 2014.

 

Ended up making a lot of parents playing with their kids very f*cking angry.

 

Totally worth it.

I'm aware of the conventional wisdom of marijuana not being physically addictive.

 

I think the people who constantly refer to that conventional wisdom suffer from confirmation bias. I encourage you to do more research as to the ways in which marijuana is addictive. There is research out there that shows how addictive marijuana is. But if all you refer to are the studies that it isn't addictive physically, you're not reading the full story.

 

And the "addictive personality" thing is kind of unfounded. Anybody can become addicted to anything.

 

Hmmm... If you guys heard the guys I listen to in groups, you might think differently. Once again, I'm not telling anybody here to never smoke marijuana.

 

But be practical when considering your usage of it.

 

Ask yourself questions like, if it's not addictive, why do I do it every day? What would my life be without marijuana? What is the longest I can go without smoking it? In what ways does marijuana get in the way of what I would like to accomplish? How has my life changed since I began smoking it habitually?

 

I'm only saying everything I am saying because when I was 28' I HAD EXACTLY THE SAME VIEW ON MARIJUANA; it's not addictive, I'm not addicted to it, it's not a problem.

 

I'll just say this now that I've been sober for a very short while: I can't remember the last high person I met hat seemed completely rational and in control of his life. Even the brilliant people I have met that smoke weed... They always seem sloppy compared to what they could be. It still imposes a high and alters mood and perception enough to be an addictive drug.

 

Anyway, long story short, I really encourage you to expand the research you have already done on marijuana. It has a ton of positive potential for humanity, but it is still a drug that can cause a chemical dependency and be abused.

 

When I think back to my habitual use of marijuana, which was years, I think of it as a haze, a cloud in which my best self was wandering around in a fog. No matter what anybody says, I will never believe that anybody can be sharper while high than while sober (unless they suffer from massive anxiety or depression issues hat have not been resolved in other, natural ways, and the weed somehow alleviates those symptoms enough to make a positive difference (most of you will scream that's me!, but people fitting this description are very, very rare.)

 

 

I had a lot of fun smoking weed at different times in my life, and I didn't want to quit at first - I had to - but ultimately, the degradation and negative impact to my memory and learning capacity and ability to achieve as well as my energy level and sex drive are just too much of a sacrifice to think that I will ever go back to smoking it.

 

I am just a better person without it.

 

 

But believe this most of all, some of you may not be able to handle life without it. Life totally sober is beyond overwhelming. Your emotions, your dreams, your fears and anxieties, your doubts and desires are all right in front of your face, all the time, and you have no choice but to face them every minute of your waking life. It is incredibly intense, but I think it makes you much more human.

 

It is no joke.

Call me a loser whatever but I hate alcohol and its tastes. Even mixers. I despise the stench of smokeables both weed and tobacco. So yeah. Grow the f*ck up and stop getting high as a kite or drunk as a skunk. Guarantee you will have a better life and enjoy life better while coherant than when you supposedly feel good under the influence

So if I go to a bachelor party I shouldnt get tipsy? I shouldn't smoke weed on rare occasions because "it f*cks me up?"

 

I used to have the same thoughts as you, until I decided to give weed a try at least once before I dictate my future opinions on it. Let me say I'm not a pothead and haven't gone onto some downward drug spiral of trying out meth, for example.

 

I understand people get hooked on weed because their addictive personality, but I certainly don't see a reason to call them a f*cking idiot just because a smoke once a month or so is consider "not a sober lifestyle." I enjoy being sober, as I am 99.99% of the time but a high on occasions will not kill you.
