I was talking in general on the assumption that the drug users who frequent this forum aren't particularly different than drug users who frequent those forums. However if there is a difference in SMP druggies and politics/psych druggies, I would be interested in reading you describe same.

I have a feeling there is a difference between Vhawk/Madnak druggies and politics/psych druggies, and that's really the important distinction here. Where's DS with a Bayesian inference explanation?

Doing drugs once in a while to experience an altered state of consciousness is merely indicative of intellectual curiosity. In the 60s and 70s it was not uncommon for academics to use drugs, even drugs as hard as LSD (Foucault described LSD as one of the best experiences of his life). To never even try marijuana can be, in my opinion, a sign of cowardice - that or a sign of subservience to authoritative misinformation, a characteristic commonly found in the religious.

Don't assume that your experience, or what you feel, while high is the same as every else's.

It's not.

Wow, I was wondering who this 'horde of SMP druggies' was that BT! was talking about. I mean, only 3 people posted above him, the OP, madnak, and myself. And my post was about how I very rarely smoke pot. So, these druggies amount to basically....the OP? Does madnak count? He didn't quantify his use. Am I druggie for life? BT!, you are turning into a crotchety old man.

But according to BT! we are all out of control, probably communist, drug addicts. I hope I never get old.
