I do "socially reprehensible narcotics" from time to time and I find them very enjoyable. Never had an addiction aside from cigarettes. I've tried most of the drugs I could get my hands on and am currently trying to get ahold of some exotic psychedelics.

I'm at least a decent father, husband and son. As an employee I was always one of the most reliable and capable workers. I generally have as much fun at work as I can while still getting my tasks done in a tidy competent manner. Right now I'm self employed and working 80 hours a week. My skin tone is good my eyes are white, my back aches a bit but I spend most my day on my feet.

I've never been arrested or overdosed. I've never sold my things so I could buy drugs. I've never shot anything in my veins but I've put a few things up my nose.

I've passed out on a few couches, I've thrown up, I've had more than a few blackouts.

I've had the doors of my mind opened by powerful chemicals and realized that I was a vicious, petty, small minded, fearful and violent person who could change, and I did change. I became much happier, trusting, open to new points of view, less judgmental and more generous.

I've had a lot of fun on drugs. I've experienced exquisite pleasure, I've opened up and communicated on levels that I would have never suspected existed with out mind altering chemicals.

I really only do powerful drugs about once a year now a days. I've wrung most of the profound realizations I have coming to me out of them for the time being. I drink often, I occasionally smoke weed, I rarely take a stiff dose of opiates and like I said about once a year I'll take a little trip.

Mostly you see people and don't realize they are drug users. Someone primed your pump to see drug users as something they usually aren't. Not every one has the constitution, mental fortitude or will power to avoid addiction that it takes to be a responsible drug user.

You need to ask yourself why I really can't tell you why you have these misperceptions about drugs and users. The what? Stop thinking like a small minded prick, that should solve it.
