I'm not judging anyone. I'm just saying that a vast majority of people have bias views against people who use, or have ever used a 'drug' besides alcohol because everyone does it.
I may have been hypocritical when I aluded to the fact that you, or people who frequent this site may very well fit the stereotypical nerd persona, but I'm just trying to bring up an important point. Everyone does different activities. People who partake in the same activies do them for different reasons. I think you'll all agree on this so far.
Jonny Weirdo likes to play video games. He plays a ton of rpgs because he likes to escape reality.... I on the other hand, think rpgs are awesome! I've been playing them since I was a little kid. The deep story lines interest me, and the challenges in these video games force me to think deeply and in turn, provides me with entertainment. We both have different goals, but do the same thing.
I use the internet for soaking up knowledge more than I do communicating with people and forming deep friend ships. I do talk to people online because they have ideas that I want to hear. However, I don't use the internet because I have no real life friends or anything better to do. Same activity, different goals and orientation.
I admit that I come off real brash when dealing with people on forums, but hey, I justify myself in the end and I can appologize when I'm a troll. That's just me. I have no real problem with you in perticular, Roofus. No worries there. But to you and everyone, be quick to shed your bias' because they're what tear us all apart. Rather than point fingers and tell stories of how your old best friend started smoking pot, now he has brain damage and sniffs glue all day-stories. We've heard them all, now face the real facts. The very least you can do is be tolerant, right? Live and let live.
Anyways, my friend and I are going to graduate in a couple weeks. We haven't told anyone our plan, but we were discussing how it'd be fun to eat a gram or so of mushrooms and go to school without telling anyone. As far as tell-tale signs go, a little giggling here and there, and larger pupils. Well, I guess I'm a rather 'hilarious' person and nice guy so I don't have to worry about laughing. I can blame my pupils on my contact lenses and allergies... plus, a gram is just enough to get the cognitive juices flowing. In context, it sounds rather druggish and sad to do mushrooms at school. On the other hand, it's something that's a different experince, one in which I can learn a lot from.
