Nope. No beer. No cigarettes. No weed. No pills. I objected to prescription medication until I got gout in my 40's. Was quite anomalous growing up in the hills and mt friends first thought it was funny, and then tried to get me to participate, and then gave up.

And then I discovered motorcycles and it was game over for thinking artificial means could ever replace the feeling of dancing at the edge with every sense heightened and screaming information and guess what?

Drugs are a crutch of some sort. Difficulty in dealing with a life that didn't go as planned? Difficulty with a reality that doesn't recognize their abilities, assuming they were even there to recognize? To compensate for lack of...something? Anything? Robin Williams used drugs to alleviate mental issues to begin with.

Hunter had it more right, and when he got it right, he certainly allowed for the use of drugs in this quote I suppose. But once you watch and see who uses them, what it does to them, his theme certainly doesn't REQUIRE them to arrive at the right mental attitude. Never seen drugs do much good, but the latest SOuth Park episode and what drugs did to them? An absolute riot....and quite illustrious.

Quote from: REGoes a long way toward explaining the stick stuck up your ass.

Nah. That comes from a lifetime of delivering results, and the confidence that comes with it.
