8. Prozac (or other manufactured prescription drug)
8. Religion

10. No drugs for me


I would if I knew how - but I was only given 5 slots...I'm just a lowly silver star.

Also, I DID think of Videosift (I created the poll in the wee hours of the night), but I knew it would stomp all challengers. It's kinda obvious - if you're reading this you partake in Videosift...

*Really shoulda thought of that coffee/tea though*

Drug of Choice - High on Life, Sappy but true.

I've been around drugs all my life; I've seen what it does!
After watching family members give in to drugs early I made my decission early to just walk away from them.
I've seen more Bud in my youth that most of you will see in a lifetime and saw the troubles that it can get you. (not to mention, Speed, Shrooms, Coke, Alcohol, inhalents, PAM cooking spray, gasoline, Bleach and more...)

Incredible!!! I WAS THERE!!! Sitting on the third seat behind the guitar player. WE had LSD cocktails with shroom sandwiches followed with DMT toad flake deserts. AWESOME!!! Eventually we, the entire group, merged because of the MDMA ecstacy sacament. I MISS the sixties!!!

I mush prefer the longer, safer route through meditation, hypnosis and lucid dreaming, rather than risky shortcuts like shrooms and stuff.


^ This is what I mean! You don't need drugs! Don't cheat!

Shrooms and LSD.. spiritual experiences. Spiritual experiences can be had without these drugs. THESE DRUGS ARE FOR CHEATERS!!!

Oh, don't act like you've never tried it....

I can certainly understand people only wanting "natural" things in their bodies, I just happen not to share that desire. I can think of plenty of natural things that will kill a person (or worse).

I am concerned more with safety and effect than I am with origin. If one of my major organs began to fail then I would not hesitate to replace it with an artificial version (if available).


You also claim that death is a part of the "cycle of life". Would you feel the same way if death were optional? Would you choose to die prematurely to continue the cycle even if living longer did not require artificial means?

Eventually natural death will be "curable". Maybe we'll be alive to see it, maybe not. It will happen though (assuming no cataclysms) and people will have to deal with these questions. Some will opt out of extended life and others will not, but I do believe that the decision should be up to each individual.

I guess I don't see much of a difference between the two. I don't want electrodes sticking out of my head, but if nanobots can some day reverse the damage to the brain through the process of aging then I would have no moral objection to using them (again, after a reasonable level of safety has been established).

>> ^NobleOne:
With regards to the comments i read. why are we so pleased with putting microchips in our body?

I dunno, why are people so pleased to put chemicals in their bodies? I occasionally ingest psychedelics (mostly shrooms) for insight and perspective. I feel I learn a lot from it, and it has led to a better idea of what I want to do with my life.

There are drugs in development that restore the signal strength of neurons to their younger (healthier) state. There are also drugs currently in testing that give the benefits of exercise without the need for exercise. There will always be the need for evidence that these substances do not have unwanted side effects, but if they prove to be safe and effective then I would certainly take them (I enjoy exercise btw).

I see mechanical means in a similar way. Safety will always be a valid concern, but I know people with hearing implants and they have no problem with that. There are nano-based red blood cells in development/testing that are far more effective than natural biological blood cells. I won't be the first in line to test them, but if they prove to be safe then I will certainly use them.

I've only recently discovered them and haven't yet experienced them on shrooms, would probably sound great indeed. Or maybe LSD

Nice STS9 post. I tried sifting a couple of their songs before but didn't get any upvotes. Since I know there's a least one other person here that likes em, I'll try sifting one of them again...

Trippy stuff. Makes me wanna go eat some shrooms.

I like shrooms and do consider them theraputic.
It bugs the shit out of me when I read people bashing them, because they don't know what the hell they're talking about.
Yes, some people do have abreactions, but that's no reason to spoil it for the rest of us.


You can't say "bashing' .. sorry. That term is taken.

I always enter the immortality cheat codes when I first buy a video game. I like to achieve lucidity and self-realization in the same instantly gratifying way.
