Drugs

The process is only to understand the conciousness. To me, that is all I want. Truthfully, I have no desire to try cocaine, heroine, or any other alcoholic drug. I want to explore myself since it is the most important object in the human life; the life you own itself. I want to explore my brain and conciousness; the imagination and creativity that my brain can explore. LSD and shrooms are my next adventure into the fact that they are not habit forming since all they do is give the user a new perception to life. Cocaine and other illicit drugs make your emotions mold into what a human being wants; numbness to pain and endless ignorant happiness throughout the body. With shrooms and LSD the human mind is free to explore all the senses, all that can make the mind itself. All these drugs do, is rearrange chemicals in the human brain that are already there. In response these drugs have to go somewhere once they are in the human body, thus causing the LSD or shrooms to store in your body after they trigger these chemicals. If you could control your brain you could naturally exhibit these interesting and knowledgeable side effects. And with that if you can understand your mind, you understand your whole self. What freaks me out is that what is in us we do not fully understand, since what we have we should completly understand because it is us. I do not know myself. The person I can truly be is all in my brain, and since the human being only uses 10% of our brain we do not obtain our full ability. We waste our brain, and thus with shrooms and lsd we explore a glimpse of what we can truly become. Of what our brain is hiding. Anything is possible.

Tolerance

When chronically smoking marijuana, the user's ability to get that same "high" as he/she used to obtain when first exposed to the plant, is more difficult to experience. Is it that you are unable to expierience that same high or is it that you still get that same high but you have just learned how to act in it. You have learned the high so well that you unnoticably work the high into a sober state. Or is what explained the defintion of tolerance?

Other insights

If a person wrote a suicide note and kept it with them at all times, would whatever death they come across (even if it wasn't intentional) be considered suicide?

Marijuana

I just love everything about marijuana; learning about it, talking about it, smoking it, breaking it up and smelling it. As bad as you may think of this, Marijuana is like a friend to me; people may tell me to stop hanging out with it and I could, but I would never want to. It is a beautiful herb and flower, with absolutly no evil attached.

I wish that when i grow up i can smoke the herb freely, smoking a blunt on the beach or on a beautiful day taking a stroll in the park and lighting up a spliff.

"If people let government decide which foods they eat and medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." (Thomas Jefferson)

I prefer civil disobedience, since it is the right as a person to disobey unjust laws. The herb is not nesessarily used to get fucked up, it is more spiritual and beautiful that that; it gives creativity, openmindedness, and happiness. It is more of a plant than ever a drug. A drug to me, is something chemically manmade, when marijuana is as much of a plant as trees or grass. Something so natural is praised in other cultures and disgraced upon in ours. I think if we learn to adapt it to our culture, the benefits will grant us only prosperity.

Popularity

From ages eleven to seventeen, an American teenager spends every waking hour, 365 days a year, to be popular. Everything teenagers do is subconsciously to be accepted and admired. The way a person dresses is to look good, not for themselves, but to their peers. Other people's opinions of what is considered "right" becomes their definition of "right", shaping every move and every detail, up to the way they walk, act, and dress.

Life at this age revolves around popularity more than ever in an entire lifespan. When we were children, our lives revolved around our parents, not by other children. By middle school, these children start treating their family as a day job and they create a new world among them. Standing in this world is what matters, being "accepted" matters. If adults went to work, and there co-workers criticized the way they looked, saying "slut," or having the fear of getting bullied and teased, I'm pretty sure adults would be worried about popularity as well.

The issue on popularity is sad and colossal. I think it is pathetic that we do everything in our lives to impress and to be liked. Starving for these alliances and doing things for the feeling of being elite among others. Popularity is not so much about being well liked; it is more of being looked up to. The only reason to why these people are "popular" is because they look down upon others so those can look up. By creating followers that envy, it is easy to control and manipulate that group into having power over them. Making fun of others can help rank themselves higher, and reassure people that they are better. Popularity to me is egotistical; caring for an opinion of those who are not cared for.

However, it may seem that high school social status is set up to be a pyramid; it in fact is more shaped like a pear. The top is the most popular and least in number; there can only be few with such envious characteristics and supremacy. The middle social class is the fat of the pear, they are the largest in number, and most are striving to be at that peak top, obsessing their teenage career on false abstractions (which have absolutely no use after high school.) The bottom is also narrow, and is the least popular. The bottom of the food chain always gets the most teasing and bullying. To be last on this social ladder can make some people miserable, so miserable that people have committed suicide.

I honestly believe popular opinion is the biggest lie in the world. I think media telling the public what is acceptable, grosses me out. Teenage culture is so corrupt that it seems almost impossible to find people that are different and unusual. The more popular and more religious a person, I feel, the more unintelligent he/she is. They do what they’ve been told and don’t question or act from doubt. They believe what is being told and base their life on it. I want to see more different people, more people to find themselves rather than make themselves. "By avoiding popularity, thou shall find peace." (Abraham Lincoln)
