It's a, "I'm 13 years old and I want to feel like I'm something special in the world" thing.Ryan Divett said:I didn't read any of these posts.
But if you call yourself straight edge you are really fucking gay.
I have alot of friends who don't drink or smoke, they don't go around shouting STRAIGHT EDGE YO IM FUCKING AWESOME. I don't think I've ever met anyone whos straight edge. Is it an American thing or what?
Brian Boston said:Not hating, but...
Advertising yourself as straight edge makes appear just as shitty as the people that are doing the activities you don't do.
I feel the same way about straight edge as I religion. If she happens to read it, whatever, im just using her as an example, but... Shelby goes on facebook bragging about Jesus, how she loves him, how shes going to bible study, blah blah. If your so religious, why do you need to advertise it, share your love with God, don't show off to everyone. People that sport the Straight Edge label, look the same way in my eyes. I have friends that don't drink, smoke, whatever, they don't go bragging about it to people. Keep it to yourself. When you go babbling your straight edge, wearing patches, hating on other peoples activities, your just putting yourself out there to get hated on.
btw, i enjoy the avatar hahaha

srsly though, we are not sure about what happens after this life, which means that what we are sure about is that we DO have this life right now, and if we're assuming that it's the only one we're gonna live, we should make the best of it - which leads me to my next point, which is: straight edge is a pile of shit. I mean, if that's your choice and if you feel that you are living a better life that way, go ahead, but seriously, experimenting will NOT hurt you.
Umm do you have any idea how dodgy drugs are these days?
experimenting with drugs can kill you.
I don't even have to explain this.

<3danielwarwick said:To clear up a few things in here about the danger of drugs, any drug you just take without researching and knowing basically everything about is a dangerous drug. I read the other day 1/3 of coke is cut with animal deworming medication now, but if you took the ten minutes to purify your coke through the bluelight method you wouldn't have to worry about that or anything else. Heroin is sketchy because it's just fucking sketch, 99% of smack is impure as shit. When you deal with acid, you're basically guaranteed safe. Sometimes people sell DOB in place of acid, but that's not going to kill you or hurt you, just means you got ripped off. When you're dealing with weed you're never going to run into a single problem unless you're 1 out of 100 that can't handle smoking weed because of anxiety/paranoia. With research chems like 5-meo-dmt, 5-meo-mipt, 2c-i, 2c-e, 4-acetoxy-dipt, you're basically always going to get what you order (although a lot of times coke sold at raves/clubs ends up being 2c-i/2c-e.) The only sketch part here is going about getting these chemicals, but if you know where to look and check out your sources (UD, anyone?) then you're always going to be fine. Pills are dirty, xanax, oxycodone, pressed MDMA pills which are always cut with amphetamines and ketamine and shit. If you find yourself getting deep into pills then you definitely have a problem (especially with MDMA, the way MDMA's crash can be coupled with amphetamine crashes like coke make you want more E than anything, but if you have control you'll be completely fine). Of course, those who wanna try E can always go the molly route and be completely safe.
There are ways to use all drugs responsibly if you do your research and go about it smart. Making the generalization that drugs are bad is only detrimental to society. There are so many benefits of drugs...weed for glaucoma, LSD for cluster headaches, MDMA for PTSD, the list really is endless. Just do your research and keep an open mind.

I think logically. Drugs/booze/tobacco = bad for the body. Therefore, I don't do any of them. Like Brian said, you only live once. I want to elongate that as much as possible.
what if you fall scootering? thats bad for your body but i doubt you will quit for that reason
i used to not drink or smoke then i realized i really didnt have a reason not to and i honestly dont want to live to be an old shriveled man in a nursing home. soooo lets have some fun people
but on the flipside there is such thing as too much of a good thing
i think somewhere in the middle of both extremes is a suitable place to be and thats precisly where im chilling
Also, I have had wine. I just don't guzzle down beers or chug. Hell I don't drink. Maybe a glass or so at an event.
greg got drunk off a glass of wine once
Jordan said:some people are saying you only live once, so why not try it? well that can go the other way too. you have one life, don't screw it up. drugs and alcohol can do that.
Uhh drug tests? Get high, you got pot in your piss for 30 days, in your hair and blood for even longer.KyleTolentino. said:Just because you get drunk once or high once doesn't mean you're not gonna get a job,
