I don't do any drugs - fuck me, right?

So I don't smoke tobacco or weed, drink alcohol, or do any other kind of drugs...

(Yet I eat meat and consume caffeine, it's not like I refuse everything lol)

very unpopular and people think parties must be boring without being drunk, skiing must be lame without weed and you're not cool if you don't smoke anyways...

but personally I'm doing totally fine without it and I never felt like I'm missing something - am I the only one around here thinking like this?

No I did not try any of them - yet I know I get by veeeeeery well without them. I also know that, should I like the buzz from weed, I'd become a total pothead vegetable, you may say I don't know, but I'm so the type of lazy ass who would just light a spliff instead of doing anything better... therefore I won't even lend that personal demon of mine a hand

The point that noone cares:

As I said, I wanted to know if there are others (especially in freeskiing/skateboarding) who live (more or less) drugfree <-- this is the point and reason why I asked

good for you man. keep doin; your thing. as long as you don;t hold yourself above others who may choose to indulge, then you're all right imho. but if you think you're better than those who drink/smoke, then you can go fuck yourself. (not saying you do.)

I've never drank, never done any sort of drugs. Not really anything against them, they just aren't for me. Parties are still fun, skiing is still fun, concerts, all that good stuff. There are others like you OP, but as stated let people do their thing and don't hold yourself above them for it

Germany switzerland the netherlands the uk austria bulgaria and slovenia all have either heroin assisted treatment or slow release morphine treatment options where they simply give addicts the drugs. In america 9 out of 10 opiate addicts relapse. Even on our shit substitutes suboxone and methadone

In that case you really shouldn't talk. Until you've tried drugs/alcohol, don't talk about how you don't like drugs/alcohol, it just makes you look dumb.

I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of kids on ns would get by perfectly fine without drugs/alcohol, that's not the point. You don't feel like you're missing anything because you've never tried it. How can you miss what you've never had? It's like a person who has always been homeless saying "I've never slept with a roof over my head, but I know I'm not missing it. I have a cardboard box, what do I need a real home for?"

I don't do any drugs at all anymore, even caffeine, but I smoked weed for 2 years everyday and hash oil/edibles as well. I have also done lysergic acid diethylamine (1 tab) and psilocybin (two times), and I have never been much of a fan of alcohol. Let me tell you I have learned so much from these substances, but they are no longer good for my evolution and progression in this life. I feel amazing and am exceeding at everything I do, from schoolwork to skiing and everything in between. I feel much more centered and in tune with my life. My body feels great and I seem to be progressively learning a lot. My memory is greatly enhanced and my dreams are crazy!!! To each his own, and substances are essential for many realizations about an individuals place in this universe. I am glad I have experimented, but I am more glad to be free and who I want to be!! One love.

I will never smoke, just because ive seen what it has done to people whether it be darts or a rolled up one. As for drinking, im okay with t because id say its much more socially acceptable okay withmoderation. Doesnt go to say that smoking in moderation cant be done, i just decide not to start with it.
Drinking allowd you to open up if youre shy! Its very social. Dont feel bad if you dont drink, but dont feel bad if you do in moderation is what im getting at.

So.

There are 1000 other countries in the world.  Only 5-10 MAX are better than the United States.  If that.  2-3 really are better than us everywhere has their problems.  He correctly picked the ones that are better than America.

Nope, I'm not feeling superior to anyone who does, it's just my way. And I hate being called straight edge, because so much people who say they are SE are like sect people trying to confess you and feeling superior to you... it's just my thing I wanted to share here to see if there are others - and it's somehow still sad that there are only this few lol


Fun fact: I am from Switzerland, you can have 10 grams of weed with you and won't get more than a 45$ fine... so yeah drug laws are pretty chill on weed, not sure on the other stuff though

what's wrong with it? i've already likened op's attitude to someone never getting enough sleep saying it isn't for them, or someone who's never tried orange juice insisting they don't like it.

How about this: op saying he doesn't like drugs/they aren't for him without ever having tried drugs is essentially the same as someone who has been a vegetarian their whole life and has never tried meat insisting they don't like meat and that it just isn't for them. That better?

That sounds awfully condescending.

And even if that's the case, why not say "i don't want to drink/smoke because it's bad for my health" not "it's just not my thing?" Two completely different things. I like eating red meat and taking painkillers, but I don't eat steak everyday or pop percocets because it's bad for my health. If i was at a barbecue where they were serving steak and i said no because of health reasons, no no because "it's not my thing"

Fair enough. Why not just say that in the first place?

And, just so you know, there are well known benefits of drinking a glass of red wine at night. And when you say you eat meat, i hope that doesn't include red meat, because that's one of the worst things you can do if you're trying to live a "maximum health"

This is a stupid argument. Food, water and shelter are considered basic needs for life. I will die if I don't have food or water and am at at a much higher risk of sickness and/or death of homeless.

I've never drank/smoked/used drugs, but I've never heard of this straight edge crap. When I was younger I didn't try them because I'm a Christian and was generally arrogant and condescending. I'm 28 now and still haven't, but don't see any decent reasons to start (and could care less if you do). They won't do anything for my health and I've got better things to spend my money on.

I'm a social worker and I don't think I've ever worked with a client where alcohol and/or drugs have not been a factor at some point. MOST of my clients have been affected by FASD (fetal alcohol spectrum disorder) which is both completely irreversible and completely preventable. People neglect and abuse their kids because of drugs and alcohol. Most domestic violence (men who beat women) happens while under the influence. I'm not saying that happens to most people, but it happens to a lot and I don't want to participate in something that has that kind of affect on so many.

How is it a stupid argument? If you have never tried something, you can't know whether or not you like that thing. You disagree? You're telling me that if i've never tried, say, lemonade, I can still know for sure whether or not I like lemonade?

If your still in High School...your on the right path. Fuck any of the kids who think getting trashed is cool.

It is probably my biggest regret to have surrendered to these things. I have had to make up so much time because of fucking around in school. Focus on your school right now....it matters in the long run.

BogsHow is it a stupid argument? If you have never tried something, you can't know whether or not you like that thing. You disagree? You're telling me that if i've never tried, say, lemonade, I can still know for sure whether or not I like lemonade?


The problem with this argument is that it means you have to try everything personally before you can make a judgement about it. But there are plenty of things I don't personally need to try to know I should probably avoid them. Take being raped as a super easy example. Do I really need to be raped in order to know that I probably won't like it?

Essentially, I don't need to try everything but I do need either direct experience of related things or indirect experience of the actual thing. To your lemonade example, I might not have tried lemonade before but I hate lemons. Do I need to try lemonade if I absolutely hate lemons? Or I know I won't like being raped since I know of people who have been and they really didn't like it.

Doing hard drugs is a similar thing. I don't need to do heroin (substitute other hard drug of choice) personally to know that it might not be the best thing for me because I know enough people crippled by heroin that I should probably stay away from it.
