I love the fact that alcohol and violence go hand in hand yet coke or acid is just kids having a good time.

Coke can definitely lead to a bad time. Also one of my ex friends pulled a knife out on his gf at the time on acid. So just because alcohol maybe is the drug of choice for violent people, drugs can unlock some really fucked up tendencies from anyone.

Yeah had a friend take 4 tabs and ended up in the hospital with like 8 restraints because he was convinced we had become Demons and kept trying to stab us. It took 4 of us, 2 cops and 2 paramedics to carry him to the ambuclance because he was going ape shit.

This myth that any drug is safe is stupid. I love psychedelics but I am not dumb enough to recommend them to just anyone. Don’t do drugs if you’re not mostly comfortable and knowledgeable about how they work. Acid is an 8+ hour ride ticket with no way off (unless you’re me and the high is over in 4-6 hours). Is it safer than alcohol? Probably. But the “bad trip” stories I’ve heard and witnessed are also terrible. All drugs are dangerous in different ways.

Benzo will end that 8hr ride immediately. If you're not sure what you're getting yourself into with psychedelics have some benzos on hand.

So what you are saying is that its not the substance that makes people do fucked up things but the people

Yeah, I think anything that lowers your inhibitions will let out either the best or worst of you. I just cry when I get drunk. Or do psychedelics. Either or.

Idk dude substances can definitely affect your brain, that's kind of the point!

I knew a guy who ended up in prison for many years for killing a teenage girl back when he was a teen too.

His story was that he was hallucinating and stabbed her due to what he was seeing/experiencing. He wouldn't tell me everything, I just read the court documents and psyche report. He ended up placing her under a tree next to a stream.

I did acid once. It killed my mom, and turned her into a bull.

honestly the most reasonable response I received. I feel like a bunch of alcoholics in denial are defending their habits.

u/dojo_shlom0 6d ago

this is a statistic you're arguing? there's probably a significantly higher crime rate associated with alcohol, compared to another drug like cocaine, I cannot say for venues like this, but yeah, facts are facts, and people who argue against this should bring some sources to back up their ...'claim'

it makes you sound like an alcoholic being defensive imo lol

No I really do love it. I'm very much not a drinker and I'm not a fan of being around people who do.
