Good news about ecstasy.
 
Mr.X, you realize that just because you refuse to consider someone else's reasoning/motives/argument/perspective and instead choose to tell them what their intent is/was makes you great for a debate but not really all that fun to discuss topics with. Being opinionated is healthy but being an opinionated bully makes you no fun.

The very reason I can never allow myself to try drugs is because I have an addictive/compulsive nature. When I was 14 I tried Copenhagen and it kicked my ass. I got dizzy and sick and instead of being smart I chose to beat it rather than stay away from it. Soon I was addicted to the crap even to this day.

As I have said many times, drugs and alcohol addiction runs on both sides of my family and with my addictive/compulsive personality I make no apologies for choosing to stay away from either.

Now before you or anyone else decides to point out the fact that addiction or compulsive nature is simply a lack of will-power and is the mark of a weak individual I agree.

Wally, wouldn't you think it was a little silly if I was fascinated by gardening, but refused to try it?

It wouldn't be silly if you suffered from very serious allergies.

Seriously that was a lame analogy by your standards Mr.X. Don't dumb it down because you feel apologetic for you superior brain as opposed to my simple mind, I can handle my own.

I don't refuse to consider someone else's motives, etc.

I had forgotten that these were your reasons. That is certainly a valid reason to avoid substances, especially the compulsive nature. There are some pretty fun, non-addictive drugs, but probably all of them will have a negative impact on your life if you take them compulsively.

I wouldn't pick on anyone for being addicted or compulsive.

I do still think that your posts show lack of understanding in this area.
 
Blitty, I'll answer your first question and you're being a typical ass with the second so no reply.

No. I wasn't forced to try it. I wasn't pressured into trying it, I wasn't shamed into trying it, I chose to try it. If that particular day had never happened would I have eventually tried it, I have no idea but it did and I had the ability to just say no.
 
You've never heard of someone obtaining one high and becoming increasingly curious about different types of highs and eventually trying more and more and becoming addicted to being high?

Wally, if you tried pink lemonade Kool-Aid and very much enjoyed it, would you HAVE to try grape Kool-Aid? Wouldn't most people opt for drinking the pink lemonade Kool-Aid from time to time since they know they enjoyed it with no ill effects?

Wally, you're drinking the Kool-Aid.
