What bollocks. Life isn't boring. You can enjoy life and fun by doing the simplest of things. For some, that's as easy as sitting beneath a tree and reading a good book.
That doesn't generate dollars. To enjoy the simple things, you need to be cashed up. Otherwise, you're too busy chasing money. Unless you're really that simple and don't mind sleeping on benches and eating out of dumpsters. But doing that you'll be dead pretty soon, anyway, so may as well go and jump off of a bridge or something.
There's this magical thing called, free time. It's quite relaxing, I suggest you enjoy it when you can.
He can't though, he hates life.

I've had some of the most fun experiences of my life when some sort of drug was involved.
How borring your life must be.
Agreed
Life is boring. At least under the current paradigm promoted by society and the media. The only escape is drugs. Or a highly creative mind. Choose your poison, because you're going to need it.
I believe using drugs as a means to escape reality is a form of substance abuse. If you're like, "Hey I'm going to get high to have some fun tonight." Yeah sure, knock yourself out (lol), but if you're like "Oh, my life sucks and its boring and I don't like it, so I'm going to get high so I don't have to deal with it." Then I believe you have a problem, or the beginnings of one.
Just my opinion on the matter anyway.
How so? So you think using drugs to escape reality is fine, but using drugs to have a little fun is a problem?
Ah okay, I wasn't saying which is easier to see being done. I was just saying that using them as a means of escape is a problem.

It's interesting you mention this because really, you did use a drug to make it more entertaining but it seems like not many people would see alcohol as a drug because it's so widely accepted.
In a way, yeah...but it wasn't our original intent...the bottle was meant for after we were done, shots to celebrate conquering the river..!
People's views on what is/isn't drugs are irrelevant to me at this stage in my life...how 'bout we all do whatever we want to do or don't want to do, so long as we don't infringe on others..?
Users/nonusers don't have to explain anything to anybody...just do you...

- Feb 27, 2013, 05:56:14 PMIf you say to yourself, "I want to have some fun tonight (indicating a specific time) so I will use just a little bit of drug X whilst doing activity Y," I wouldn't quite call that addiction only because it sounds like a person is able to control how much of something they take and when they do so. In the other situation it's more of a continuous thing, regardless of the situation.

A few years back, a bunch of us went rafting at the Delaware Water Gap expecting some crazy, adrenaline junkie fun...except, no one did any research, we just decided -- on a whim -- to go one weekend...
Unbeknown to us city folk, we went during the wrong season...my piss moves with more force than that river did, lulz...at one point we were stuck in some shallows and we were able to step into the river to move the raft with no danger whatsoever...
Luckily, we had a large bottle of Jack (and some other goodies) to keep us entertained...friggen hilarious...

Yea, or white water rafting on the Ottawa river.
Rouge River in Quebec is better
