The ask aperson about drugs thread

[jewpinthethird]

OK. First thing I will say, and this is just personal opinion, is that anyone who does drugs/smokes is stupid. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve got friends who smoke, but they never smoke near me, as they respect how much I detest it.

I’m the same with alcohol. I’d rather go out with some friends, not get drunk and have a good time than get trashed, then make a complete fool out of myself. I’m almost 16 years old and I can honestly say I have never touched a cigarette, any kind of illegal substance, or got drunk, as a large part of my life involves sporting competition at a high level.

Anyway, on to the point I wanted to make. Aperson, what was your motivation for smoking/doing drugs the FIRST time you did them. Was it peer pressure or were you depressed/troubled at all? My friend recently started doing acid and amphetamines, and he said he didn’t know what made him start, so I’m trying to get opinions of other drug users to help him address his problem.

Sorry bumping the reply... but I have to say it.. YOU'RE #$#ing 16 YEARS OLD. The MOST you should be doing is drinking alcohol once in a while. I didn't sip alcohol until I was 17 and now I drink and smoke at 19. Once you get to college it's inevitable that you're going to drink or you'll be, to be blunt, a loser. There's no way around it. I drink around 2 days a week at school and I am an electrical engineering major with a 3.3 GPA, in a fraternity. It can be done, drinking is not THAT bad for you if you work out and don't REALLY overdo it.

Thanks, mom.

I bet I play at a higher level than you do. And I do drugs. 1st place state finisher 55m High hurdles. 2nd place state finisher 55m Open (Dash). 1st place 300m Open (Dash). 4x200m relay, 1st place. Oh, and that was my Freshman year. This year I plan to take states in all three events. Want to move to a more complicated sport? Soccer, my other sport. Currently playing for three separate teams. NCSL Division 1 team, Alexandria AC Malan (U-19, two age divisions up). Team America Premier (U-19). Reston Football Club (U-17).

Please don't say that drugs will ruin your sporting career. If I can play at this level after five years of the drug scene, then I think I'm okay. I never plan to touch anything like Coke, PcP, or Heroin, but most other things are recreational for me.

I'm glad you can stay healthy while doing this stuff, but what happens if you get randomly drug tested and you come back positive for marijuana? That's the end of your sporting career, I'm sure.

I wouldn't consider playing sports in high school a "career" haha

[Skikamukazi]

I only run track for high school. The other three soccer teams are all National/State teams.

And as for getting drug tested, I get a warning from my coaches before they do it. Not the high school team, though, they don't test.

What's your name again, Skika?

Just want to check up on who you are, I might have heard of you before.

And to stay on topic, I've found that drinking and smoking recreationally have little to no effect on athletic performance. Your lungs take in more oxygen than you can use at once, anyway. Weed should be legal. And cheaper. The only drug harder than weed I'm interested in trying is mushrooms.

Yeah but weed stays in your system for about a month. They notify you a month before because they know you're doing drugs?

Yep!

And tps, my name is Josh.

[emccky]

I'm also on a state level for swimming :P

skika have you ran against mike spooner or siragusa? I ran out infront of siragusa for an XC meet for the first mile.. bad mistake.


i'm assuming not since you're a sprinter.. myabe you've heard of them though

[Skikamukazi]

Can't say I've heard of Siragusa, but Mike Spooner sounds semi-familiar.

I wouldn't know either of them, though, I can't stand XC. The only long distance I can handle is the mile, and even that is a pain in the ass.

[mattc16]

OK, I play for east of england under 15 cricket team, used to play for ipswich town under 13s until i broke my leg a few years back, could be getting england trials for cricket, county badminton, field hockey representative. So I'd say I compete at roughly the same level as you skik

[QreepyBORIS]

And tps, my name is Josh.

Heh, you called LEGO tps. Anyhow, I think he'll need your full name, dude. How else would he be able to tell how good you are?

[talisman]

less sports more drugs

on topic: why do anything retarded like coke, crack, heroin, nicotine, meth, etc? Like, do you want to be addicted to this shit and spend all your money on it? Stimulants and opiates are lame in my book.

[Skikamukazi]

Matt, have you ever traveled from country to country doing tourny's? If you have, awesome. I know that they are fun.

And whoops, I didn't notice the whole LEGO/tps thing. Full name is Joshua Bailey

[LEGO]

Too bad there is no Joshua Bailey listed in either of the Virginia Indoor State Meet results pages:

http://dyestat.com/3state/r2se/5in/v...Astatemeet.htm AA
http://dyestat.com/3state/r2se/5in/V...aAAA/index.htm AAA

Oh, you aren't even in the outdoor results either. Sorry:

http://dyestat.com/3state/r2se/5out/...meet/index.htm

Maybe you live in pretend Virginia, where everyone is a state champ

Or not, and you're full of it.
