  Opinions on drugs?

  while i was in the 'truth' i and a few of my peers were curious about the effects of certain drugs.

  as a teenager during the rave scene of the late 80's early 90's many of the 'worldly' kids were doing ecstasy, smoking weed and becoming heavily involved in the drugs scene.. when i left the 'truth', this curiosity got the better of me and i started smoking weed and eventually tried ecstasy, speed and lsd.. while all drugs can be abused (and i have abused some) i am of the opinion that the use of drugs can be a good experience, if used moderately.. i was wondering whether others have experienced drugs since leaving the truth, i am interested to find out what opinions people have on them good or bad.. i also wondered whether people feel that cannabis should be legalised.

  my opinion is that people in power shouldn't tell me what i can and can't do with my own body.

  i've picked up a little about each of us on the db, but we're a reclusive little group, aren't we?.

  well, my picture won't be going up any time soon, but i'll put out some personal information and hopefully others will too.

  makes chatting more fun, don't you think?.

  I'm 34

  married, no kid's (not that I know of at least)

  Two dogs one cat

  I live in Michigan

  I grew up a dub and df'd in 1990

  I had questions about the wts since childhood. Past events in the last three years have answered my questions. I have also come to a realization about the wts that shook me to the core.

  I now have freedom from the wts and the heavy burden that it puts on it's members.

  Trust me smack, I've talked to some people who use it here. They wouldn't even bother to grow it if they could go down to the local seven eleven and pick up a pack. We Americans like convience, it would be much easier to just buy them. My friends have already said they would line up to buy them.

  I have never done any drugs or even smoked a ciggy. Never had the interest. My wife, and some friends she has do smoke weed, much to my displeasure. They have done this since junior high, and I can say some of her friends practically live on it. They can't function without it. All, including my wife, have memory loss from one degree or another. My wife does not live on it, but can't stop either.

  I brought up a thread a while back about legalizing weed. I discussed this with one of my wife's pot smoking friends. We both came to the conclusion that it could be legalized. Even though I don't smoke weed, I think it should be legalized.

  We figured that it could be controlled much like ciggies. You could sell them in packs of 5, the government could tax the hell out of them. People would line up to buy them. You could also specify growers to supply it. There are already field tests that the police have to tell if your high. It could be regulated just like alcohol. Put an age limit on it just like buying alcohol. The US would make money hand over fist.

  My father is still a jw, and I decided when I was df'd, that if my father did not want to associate with me, it was his loss. The decision to do this did not come lightly. A person must decide for his/her own sanity. I completely understand wanting to be accepted by your parents. I also know how it's practically impossible to convince them. Ask yourself this question. Will any of this change my decision to leave the jw's? Once you are true to your own feelings, everything else will fall into place. None of this will be easy.Pressing forward is the key. You do not have to outright say you'll never be back. Just tell them that you respect thier decision, and that you hope they respect yours.

  Thinking about you, and hoping the best.
