Lol, I'm really sounding like a preacher here. Unfortuantly I do know about this stuff. Alcohol and I had a very long love affair. I am so glad that that one ended in a divorce. Took me a long way to the bottom before I kicked it's ass. Care to know about my other little self medications? It would have to be moved to an X rated spot. Although just the 2 we have talked about, to know the real truth, should be moved to an x rated spot. I hate the rating system, it blinds people from the truth. Information is knowledge and knowledge is the road to be wiser. Some day I hope to make it.

Snake,
What is all this save the world crap? They are like that, always have been, so what! Nothing is as sick as humans, then they compete for top honors. We all feel that way sometimes, still human, but I long ago let them sink or swim on their own, and I will wave with a smile as they go under. Better you than me.
Pain is nature's way of saying stop doing that. Social awareness is painful for you, there are not many you have to deal with, and you dont have to take on all their garbage, we all come with a supply. The deal get less, not more. 700 people died of a strong dope mix in a week in Detroit last fall, think I care?
I have a motorcycle, it forces me to try to stay alive, outside enemies are better than inside ones.
Duh, Dude, the world is your enemy, screw them. You are all that counts, and what supports you. It is something we gather with age. You are your only friend, and if you arn't, who would want anything to do with you? Take care of Number One. It is all you got.
Where ever you live there were murders, robberies, rapes, child abuse, people wacking puppies with rolled up newspapers, and speaking rudely, just last night. Even more people were involved in uninspired boring sex.
Dope, drink, and humans are just monkies looking for something to ride. Cheat them out of their fun. In this world you need wheels, cash in your pocket, and be a moving target. Look for the next step up, improve your job skills. It is great because everyone will hate you when you do it, so tell them nothing till it is done. Improving your position in life pisses off everyone at once, it is great revenge.
My revenge is I am doing fine, most of my class are dead, and the survivors are living in fear. Life is good.
Do not you understand the message of Jesus, take on the sins of the world and you will be nailed to a cross.
Let God and the Devil sort that out, cool wheels and cash are your route to salvation. As someone pointed out, no matter how fine a woman is, there are a list of guys who tired of her and dumped her.
You were born a slave, buy your freedom.
Ted Kazinski had his little shack and wood working tools, there is a place for you besides WP. Money is the ultimate drug. Those who say it cannot buy happiness never had any. You are going to give up some of your life for it, think about that before parting with any. Every Starbucks coffee is another half hour in hell.
Had some great times, and some bad.
As far as Cannabis use and what you call 'demotivational syndrome' (what do you mean by this?)
Surely it is a good thing to have no motivation to do things you have no desire to do. (eg. slaving away 40 hours a week for a pittance whilst your boss gets rich.)
But as far as depression and psychosis, i cannot argue.
When i smoked all the time, i have been through such phases of depression, psychosis and anxiety, paranoia and social phobia. But for some people it helps in these respects.
Moderation may be the key; something i have had difficulty with in the past.
By "rehab" I really meant to say withdrawal, and experiencing the detrimental effects of drug use.
Demotivational syndrome was not coined by me, but it refers to after you've been smoking pot a lot (I mean several grams daily), you no longer feel like doing anything when you are not high.
I know the government likes to propagate a lot of ineffectual, untrue ads in order to achieve their agenda. I don't think weed should be a Controlled I Substance. However, it is important to study the effects of any drug legal or not, before putting it in your body. I do not view drugs as good or evil. My philosophy towards them is simple: DO WHAT WORKS. Some people can handle a drink or smoke every evening and life productive lives. Others cannot. Some people need prescription drugs to get through the day.
AngelsFall, you are probably depressed and have an addictive personality. I recommend trying some prescription anti-depressants before illegal psychedelics or narcotics. At least see a psychiatrist. I hate this world too, but instead of doing drugs I usually just watch anime or play video games nowadays.
Inventor, interesting post. Some people find pursuing money satisfying. Others find helping others satisfying. Others can't get no satisfaction.
Just so you know I'm not talking out of my ass, I've done plenty of drugs, legal and illegal. I've been an addict, been to NA meetings. I try to study pharmopsyciatry. Take care all.
OK, then i have been to 'rehab' at least three times .
I've never heard of the term 'demotivational syndrome' before: i assumed it meant that while you were high you were less likely to go to work ( be productive) and rather watch a DVD or listen to music.
Not wanting to do anything while not high is clearly completely different.
There are numerous times when i have had this; and a lot more when i have thought 'i wish i had some weed, then i could enjoy this movie/music/whatever more'.
It is not really a problem: you just stay stoned all the time. The problem occurs when you have been stoned for six months and start getting delusional ( or maybe it is just me).
A break is all that is required.
But that is just weed.
As for harder drugs. I don't think you decide to be a junkie.
I think most Aspie are self-aware enough to realise that they have 'addictive personalities', and are intelligent enough to know that heroin is highly addictive. So to give it a certain amount of respect, ie. have a bender once in while, but know to steer clear for some time afterward (it's a myth that a few gos and you are hooked; you need a few months of daily usage before it has you.)
It's amphetamines (and ecstasy) that got me into trouble. They are more addicitive than most (I) gave them credit for. I used to have 'flu' every monday morning, a small line in the evening or Tuesday morning and i would be fine. It took me quite a while to see what was happening, and then the psychosis and paranoia hits.
But alcohol is as bad as any drug. There's many an ex-heroin addict who turns to booze. They will tell you which is harder to stop.

uh..noone goes on an aspergers internet forum and starts a thread called " I am thinking about becoming a junkie" and then intentionally gets addicted to drugs. You would be the first, and while you probably shouldn't follow through, though if you did I would at least respect you for not making a BS thread.
