How would you react if someone told you they've never drank, smoke, or tried any drugs in their life?

Would you view them as proud or naive?

[Anonymous No.]

I'd view them as fucking nuts. Because it's me, talking to myself.

[Anonymous No.]

Um, I've done neither of those things. Might as well add virgin in there too.

Where the fuck do you think you're posting?

"Me neither."

How do you view yourselves? More proud or naive?

[Anonymous No.]

It means they're a dull, unimaginative person with a lack of curiosity.

They don't get into any big trouble in their life, but they won't have any exciting adventures either.

[Anonymous No.]

Drugs are for the weak.

It depends, doesn't it?
If I were a skydiver and somebody said "Oh cool, I've never gotten around to skydiving myself, but I'm glad you enjoy it" then it'd all be good, but if somebody said "fucking idiot jumping out of planes I'd never do that one day your parachute won't open and I'll laugh" then I'd think he or she was a jackass.

Neither. More of boring, if anything.

[Anonymous No.]

I wouldn't completely know what they are like.

But I would know they do not give in to peer pressure or try to be a cool kid who thinks such things give them 'experience' or street creds. In short, they stick to their own shit and are not malleable.

How do you manage what you don't have?

Well, that's a slight lie, I get depressed when I get harassed by my mom who threatens to get me sent to an asylum if I don't pony up cash from my e-job every so often. Eroges help put me back on the right track in that case.

Those two words are not mutually exclusive. You're retarded. Neither do you need to do any of the above to not be one or the other.

[Anonymous No.]

I take loritab every day to try and stave off the inevitable, so I guess I don't qualify.

[Anonymous No.]

I wouldn't really care. It's their life.

[Anonymous No.]

Probably quite a few people around like that.
..On /jp/ anyways.

Either way sign me up on that list, i am both proud and naive.

Don't mind me, just reporting that I reported.

My body is pure. And I intend to keep it that way. Somebody else follows this philosophy? Good for them

Drugs are for the weak and too afraid to be themselves without the aid of poison.

[Okuu !!Jq0MHPvHhpb No.]

I would call him a pussy for not enjoying the deadly pleasures of life (except for drugs, because I hate drug addicts)

>poisoning

Yeah and I'm sure you also want us to stop taking our meds as well since it's all a conspiracy right?

[Mush !lYtRBoeK.2 No.]

I've tried drugs and alcohol, and actually do drink and get drunk on the weekends with friends.

Not because of peer pressure though, I just thought, before I write something off as awful or terrible, I should at least try it. Because I hate when people assume something is awful or what-have-you because of the stigma associated with it, like how people view my hobbies.

And I don't want to be like those people.

[Anonymous No.]

I prefer to arm my arguments with truth and disturbing images. Behold, the lungs of a smoker.

[Anonymous No.]

I can't drink because of a medical condition, I'm not retarded enough to smoke tobacco, and I have no friends to get drugs from, and am too paranoid to get them through the internet. It's for the best because I know I would get easily addicted.

[Anonymous No.]

Depends. If they do it because they chose to do so then admire their willpower. If they want to but are just too scared then I'd feel sad for them.

[Anonymous No.]

Naive and maybe a bit of a pussy to try new things. Though, still I'd have admiration for such a person who doesn't want to do damage to their body and happy enough with their current mental state to not want those things.

>implying too much of anything isn't bad for you

It's called moderation if you don't know

[Anonymous No.]

I smoked weed when I was younger (20-21) and I drink and smoke. I've tried coke and speed/gas once and DMT.

My only friend at the time was a cannabis dealer so he'd set me up and I'd be good for a week.

Drugs aren't as good as drug users like to make out. Weed doesn't make things funnier when you use it frequently. You're just relaxed and content and feel intoxicated. Coke lasts 30 minutes and makes you feel awake and confident. Speed makes you just feel very awake.

Meh, meh, meh. DMT on the other hand is the secret an hidden portal to Gensokyo and is the perfect NEET drug pretty much.

"Straight edge it means I'm better than you"

I hate people. (especially when those fucks try to knock your 10$ beer out of your hand at concerts)

>Would you view them as proud or naive?
Neither. Why would it be either? It's their life choice and there are different stroke for different folks.

I'm quitting smoking at the moment though, switching to snus from Sweden. Cigs are $18 a pack here and for a tin of snus it's like $4 and a tin lasts me a few days as opposed to $18 a day.

Yeah and its spread to almost every genre of concert I've been too.

Even fucking Cheap Trick had some of those faggots running around.

I would view them as naive, retarded, scared, etc, because it's a mirror image of me.

I don't like smoking but I'm not about to grab someone's cigarette and stomp on it.

> never drank
That'd be rare in today's society. Not even tried once?
> never smoked
That'd be a smart thing to do after reviewing the cost/benefit ratio, but "Not even tried once?"
> never tried any drugs
I'd figure they are not interested in finding out what unique mental/conscious states they can have. I'd say they were either not curious or overly cautious, or just easily swayed by propaganda (instead of doing actual research into exactly what a drug does to your body and brain).
It seems to be a status symbol for some people. While I don't do drugs, I would have no problem doing anything in a controlled environment and which I was highly confident (based on current evidence) that I would not come to harm. I would even be interested in what unique qualia I could have that cannot be experienced normally. Drugs are not doing what you brain lacks functionality for, they are merely changing various things temporarily in a global fashion (most drug "delivery" systems suck today, they cannot be targetted to very specific brain areas, like your own brain does naturally, not only that they can have side-effects when the substance has dual use in the body(ever wondered why heroin addicts tend to have high mortality rates? It's not as much as that their death is inevitable (if there was proper supervision), but that the drug has many usages which lead to side-effects which if not controlled can lead to death)).

>Would you view them as proud or naive?
Neither, one, the other or both, depending on the person's motivations. There are perfectly fine reasons for either behavior, but it's not possible to say anything without knowing more about the person.

What metal shows do you go to where people bring weapons?

I haven't seen this, in Australia at least.

>I'd figure they are not interested in finding out what unique mental/conscious states they can have.
This is pretty much why I don't do any of those things.
The very idea of a substance altering my perception of reality terrifies me.

[Anonymous No.]

I've done none of those things.

They're... disgusting. It's neither for me, I just won't allow myself to not be myself. Or die slowly.

What I've read in neuropsych journal articles is enough to keep me away from a lot of drugs. Not that I have much if any interest in them to begin with.
