Truthfully, I often think that drugs opened doors for me that I would never have gone through...as cliche' as that may sound. Also I feel that there are many things...good & bad that I would have never known had it not been for my experience...again...good & bad.
That's close to how I feel as well.. When I look back at my time on drugs and before I started,,, their is probably a lot I regret about it, but truthfully if I had a choice to pick again between whether I did it all the same, or NEVER touched drugs, I would choose drugs again.
For the same reasons as you, where it led me in life and the person I ended up being at the end of it I wouldn't change for anything.
Adding a bit to that also, I knew a girl once who suffered very bad depression. I mean shocking and was hanging on by a thread for probably the whole first year I knew her... One day she tried drugs though and it was an escape for her. People would argue it'll just make her worse, but she really honestly couldn't get any worse in my opinion.. She was on them for about 2 years before she quit,,,, but that 2 year escape from the reality that was 'torturing her' so to speak, was enough time for her to sort out her life a bit and by the time she was off them her depression had mostly gone..
I doubt whether she would be around today had she not taken up drugs.. So it's a weird one. And sometimes when I see people who are really depressed and feel like life has beaten them down completely, I wonder if getting on drugs would help them too... Of course i'd never suggest it to them or take it upon myself to start them on it,,,, but for some, it could make them better people in the end...
hmmmm, now wacko has said that and how he said it,,, i've thought about it, I suppose i'm not THAT critical of the girl
because she does drugs... I think i'm just more critical of the girl themselves.... I mean drugs or not, their are some girls you like, and some girls you hate... A girl you like, you will probably find the good in them whether they take drugs or not... But a girl you don't like, welllll, because they are on drugs it just makes them all the more f'd in the head,,, but you wouldn't have liked them either way...
Thanks for making me have a re-think of this one... ;-)
