Why have you not tried 'drugs'?

I don't understand you I'm afraid. The question is asking, 'Why have you NOT tried drugs?'

If the people are happy and CURIOUS, then they would go ahead and try it. They have 2 choices, to either try it out of curiosity or not...what was the point of your question?

I'm not stupid.

Yes, or financially so. Isnt that the case for everyone?
What would be the logic in doing something that isnt beneficial to you ( or someone else)?

Huh? I know what the question asked. Your reply was, 'drugs mask the problem, they don't solve the root cause of the problem'

I'm asking, is there inherently a problem with drug-users/tryers (i.e. curiosity)? seeing as that's probably the only thing all people who try/use drugs have in common before they try/start using. (there are people who use drugs to escape their problems, obviously, but that isn't the case for everyone)

I've personally never wanted to try illegal drugs. In my past I spent a lot of time with people involved/associated with some very nasty drugs such as ketamine and Cocaine.
I have seen the effects these drugs have and it did make me feel sick, and scared. To see someone in such a state, a state I would never want to be in myself. I saw a man foaming at the mouth, attempting to hold himself up, but failing and falling to the ground, as his eyes rolled to the back of his head.
Most people I know who smoke weed are stupidly paranoid, whether it be in their relationship, to do with work or just in general, but it's not healthy which ever way!
I also believe drugs took part in the reason why my friend killed himself, I think 'simple' drugs such as Marijuana actually cause more harm than people believe them to.

Drugs are drugs, regardless of the current states of legality of them - most synthesised drugs were developed deacades ago for medical uses by medics and scientists this includes the opiates, alkaloids etc that were orginally manufactured by large drug companies to treat various psychiatric illnesses or used as pain inhibitors in the case of the opiates. What is the logic in using pharamceutical grade medications recreationally, its ridiculous. On this basis why arnt drug users advocating the freedom to use drugs like risperidone and imipramine purely for the psychoactive effects

Well, I was sharing my personal view. I didn't say you had to like it, or even agree with it. But the title asks "Why have you not tried 'drugs'?"

I wouldn't describe ketamine as "very nasty", it's just kinda pointless.

I don't understand what you're getting at here?

Pointless? Have you ever seen the effects of someone after having taken Ketamine? I've seen it do some nasty things to people. Put people in hospital etc.

just saying, it's only a nasty drug when it's mis-used. If you took it in the proper circumstances I think you'd change your mind on it, words don't do it justice.

Instead of looking to pick arguments on TSR, the question in the first place is irrelevant anyway.
There are more important things in life.
Who cares why one has tried or not tried drugs in life.
They either try it or not try it.
People should live life the way they want.
Period.

Please excuse me but I have things to do.

I thought was quite clear -why take drugs that were designed to treat illness

I've taken it, I've watched people take it. Hell, I've even filmed people taking it. You'll only end up in hospital if you take too much/drink too much with it/get some dodgy stuff.

Obviously this thread only applies to people who do not experiment with drugs (excluding alcohol, nicotine and pharmaceuticals).

Is it the Law? Are you afraid of being caught?

Are you worried about you health?

Are you scared of becoming addicted?

Or do you feel like you are too ignorant about the drug in question to feel like you should experiment with it?

I am just interested to find out why people do not experiment. For me, although I do not take anything very often except cannabis and alcohol, drugs are important to me. The different states of mind you enter when taking weed/ mushrooms/ LSD/ MDMA/ salvia/ cocaine etc are so intriguing. I would find it horrible to be trapped in a sober mind 24/7.

Yes, drugs deserve a LOT of respect and one must know exactly what he/she is doing before trying a new drug for the first time. But there are only a few drugs which, in my opinion, are not worth trying at least once in your life. Just to feel how your mind alters under these substances is amazing.

Its like saying why haven't you tried sticking a dildo up your ass? Some people find it stimulates them, opens their mind and so on, it doesn't appeal to other people.
