Now Playing:
I get, high cuz I'm in the hood, the guns in around
It take a blunt just to ease the pain that humble me now
And I'd rather roll somethin up
Cuz if I'm sober dogg, I just might flip, grab my guns and hold somethin up
I get high as a kite
I'm in the zone all alone, muthafucka 'case I'm dyin tonight
I Get High, high, high, high (Everynight)
I Get High, high, high, high (All the time)
High, high, high, high (Everyday)
-Good times, Styles P, Gangster & A Gentleman
Day 3 of my 30 day challenge has rolled around and the question is:
What are your views on drugs and alcohol?
Answer: Drugs are whack--at least in my opinion. I've never been a weed smoker because I don't see the point--unless of course if used medicinally--and NOT just because you have a headache (and a resounding EFF NO to all other narcotics, hallucinogenics etc.).
Now, I totally understand and can really get behind people who suffer from lupus, glaucoma, the effects of chemo, etc. using this drug because, hey, THEY REALLY NEED IT. If it lessens the pain and bad side effects and allows you to live a normal and productive life--by all means, make it happen! I'm all for something that's for the betterment of people.
On the converse, I've also seen it abused by those who have no use for it but to feel surreal sensations. Why sit around and inhale something THAT MAKES YOU DO NOTHING! Do you know how many high people I've seen who just sit on the couch, smoke a J, stare at the [insert wall, tv, carpet or other mundane object]-- oh and don't forget laugh hysterically at whatever it is. And if you smoke often, like many abusers do, you carry around that horrid cannibus smell--SO not attractive. I should not be able to tell that you smoke by standing in front of you. I do confess I have seen people who smoke for recreation and can live life like something other than zombies, but I just can't get with it. If that's you, hey--put your lighters up; but alas, it's not for me.
Alcohol...ehhh. I almost feel the same way about this as I do about drugs--except I do occasionally partake in a spirit or two. I am not, however, a fan off getting drunk or passed-out drunk. I confess, I have my share of "when I was in college" stories, but I REALLY don't like the feeling of being outside of myself or not in total control of my situation--which is my problem with being high (on ANY type of drug). Also, a lot [insert 99.95%] of drugs cause dependency and I've made it a point to depend on no one but myself and my family (few close friends included). Definitely not trying to get hooked on something that's not helping me progress.
Peace

Rhonda,
I must say that I share you sentiments on drugs. Being that the men in my family were either drug dealers or drug users, I have no desire to follow in their footsteps in either category (Even though I think I would have been a "Stringer Bell" like figure in the game and I am a lil curious about 'shrooms). I just can't get with drug use. I have tried weed before and it just isn't for me. I'm too active to engage in drug use.
Regretfully, I have to let you know that I'm a borderline alcoholic (not really, but my family seems to think so). I don't like to get wasted to the point where I can't function, but because of my size and how fast I drink, I have gone over my limit a time or two. I have since tried to stick with wine and limit myself to two drinks per outing, but it really depends on the occasion. I would say that I'm going to stop but it'd be a lie. Bottoms up!!!
