FascistLibertarian said:what about all the people who have quit smoking, booze, other drugs?
I quit smoking after 3 years. I know its not alot like some other people who are lifers.
But I "chose" to smoke and I did. And I also "chose" to stop and did.
People do things wether it be 10 pills of X, or 3 tabs of LSD only to escape this reality, because they feel "held down"
(take a look at the acid wave of the 60's in San Francisco) it started as a way to get out of this reality and have total or "mental" freedom. Some people experimented and stopped, now they are lawyers or judges, yet they made the choice to quit using the drug and get on with their life. But the other percentage of people like it too much that they became addicted. ie: became battery heads, and pill poppers, because thats the state of mind they enjoy and can "comprehend"
So saying that when people use drugs they give up their right to excersise choice in my opinion(keyword) is an ignorant statement to make without actually having expirienced it yourself??
(and yes, I used to know many a people who would go on 3-4 day psychadelic trips back in high school, thats why I'm able to say this. I have seen it first hand)
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
