General Question

What activities do you do under the influence?

Asked by PeanutBrother (16points) November 19th, 2008

alcohol – dancing, wrestling, singing, playing guitar/piano loudly, ordering chinese food
weed – sitting, eating, TV, eating, talking to roommates about the universe and evolution of man, and eating
mushrooms – writing short fiction, drawing (with lots of color!) composing piano sonatas, taking walks, taking showers, swimming, listening to music, talking about everything

I’m most interested in what you guys do during mushroom episodes, because those are often the most rare and therefore the most planned out. And because mushrooms are awesome.

Well I am not a guy but when I do drink (and that is not often if at all) but I like to dance and talk away to everyone. but with my currant medical conditions it don’t allow me to drink and happy to say that I am glad not to.

I don’t know why but I find these questions so annoying and churlish. It’s like a bad advertising campaign… to each his/her own.

I haven’t done shrooms in many a year. But when I did, I tended to fall in love. Then again, pot used to make me fall in love. Oh heck, who am I kidding? I didn’t need to be under the influence of anything at all for me and my crazy mind to fall in love!

PeanutBrother's avatar

sorry about the annoyance and churlishness. I just want some good ideas for next time I ingest the fungus.

bythebay's avatar

I’m not judging; just simply saying some plans and choices needn’t be advertised, IMHO.

And if I’m going to be honest; it would mortify me to know/think that one of my children would be on here or any site asking for drug use comparisons. Call me old-fashioned, call me what you will. It just seems…ugly.

@bythebay: do you have a problem with people talking about cocktail recipes?

bythebay's avatar

Not if they’re over 21 :) Cocktails are also not illegal. I really am not trying to judge, I know it sounds that way. I promised myself if I answered/asked anything here I would be honest, blatantly discussing drug use just seems wrong.

rossi_bear's avatar

I am not judging either but i have to agree with bythebay. this is a community and am suprised to see this here. again i am not judging anyone.

To me, mushrooms are all about nature. Take a walk in the woods, or go to a secluded beach. Look, listen, smell, touch (be careful what you taste), and experience the world around you.

no matter what you do, it’s better done outside.

Weed- watch curb
Alcohol- hang with my girlfriends
Shrooms- freak out in the woods and if I am in the city we chill on the train tracks by the bay. It feels really cool to stand by the tracks when the train flies by.

None…
I outgrew the need for intoxicants quite a while ago.

bodyhead's avatar

You didn’t specificly ask this, but my favorite sober activity is emptying a whiskey bottle on my shirt, and driving around with my head out the car window while yelling. Most cops don’t think this joke is as funny as I do.

elchoopanebre's avatar

I like to bike around when I’m drunk. Haven’t fallen yet :)

(well maybe I have and I just don’t remember it)

wundayatta's avatar

@bythebay: so it’s fine to talk about one drug (alcohol) that is responsible for way more deaths and other problems, compared to, say, Shrooms, which are not ok to talk about?

All this, merely because some drugs are legal, and others are not? All this despite the fact that legal drugs (alcohol and tobacco) are so much more worse than the harm of all the illegal drugs combined?

I understand that people revere the law, but for me, the law causes so much more harm than a sensible drug policy. I have no problem teaching people how to use drugs responsibly and carefully. I’m in favor of reducing the harm from these things as much as possible.

In my mind, it is the hypocracy of the law that seems so wrong.

I asked this question two months ago, theres some good answers in there. Heres my answer from that thread plus some extra

Alcohol-Rarely drink, but when i do, im at a party. Beer Pong=Awesome, overall though, alcohol is my least favorite. I dont really get the appeal. I feel it has far more negative effects on the body than it does positive.

LSD-Sit in the bathtub,with shower on as hot as i can handle it in both silence and darkness.(dont be stupid and drown yourself)Abstract thinking.I love how my mind works with LSD. Clearest thought process ever. Also listen to trippy music like Shpongle,or watch this

Mushrooms-Long nature walks at night. Trippy music.

Mescaline-Again i like to be out in nature on this one or by a camp fire.

MDMA-Care for a dance anyone? Bright flashy lights. Listening to music with a lot of bass. Raves

Marijuana-What dont i like doing high is a better question. Favorite things to do though are listen to music,surf the interwebs,look at my fish(fish + marijuana=win),sex sex and more sex, and watch cartoons. Everynight before i pass out, i like to watch some good old cartoons like angry beavers,ahhh! real monsters, rockos modern life, or earthworm jim. Then i lay there in bed for a while before i pass out coming up with the most ingenious ideas that will all be forgotten by morning because im too damn comfortable to get up and write them down.

DMT-Look at really colorful things/ the carpet after the initial effects wear off.

@bythebay I think you should stop being so closed minded. Your legal drugs are much much worse and more likely do cause death than every single one of my illegal ones above. “it would mortify me to know/think that one of my children would be on here or any site asking for drug use comparisons” Thats why its your job as a parent to actually educate your child about drugs and their effects instead of trying to shelter them. If you shelter someone from something, they are much more likely do to it in the long run.

bythebay's avatar

@daloon: I wasn’t debating the law, or it sensibilities. I was simply saying legal vs. not legal, not comparing drug vs. drug. Also I don’t make or enforce the policies so I don’t feel justified in debating the mentioned hypocrasy.

@uberbatman: I’m anything but close-minded, and they’re not “my” legal drugs…see above. As for what my job is as a parent; I certainly don’t shelter my children from the real world and all it’s offerings (legal & non)but neither will I offer them a joint and a glass of wine with dinner, or maybe a qualude with their oj, hey babe…want some LSD with that lasagna?? Given that you know nothing about my experiences and I only know what info you’ve offered up here, I think you’re the one being close minded. One of my immediate family members went in & out of drug rehab 4 times (pot, coke & pills)...are you really more qualified to talk to me about the suggested lack of damage that can stem from “your” illegal drugs? Do you make your choices now, as a presumed adult, because you were educated or sheltered as a child?

Don’t misunderstand me, I’m NOT judging anyones choices…I make mine based on my experiences and you likewise make yours.

El_Cadejo's avatar

Notice i never mentioned pills or coke above, i think both of them are horrible drugs and for that matter “pills” are legal, they just get used illegally. I never said go offer your children drugs, but dont make a stink on an online PUBLIC forum if others want to discuss them. There is no problems with drugs as long as your well educated about what your doing and your not stupid enough to abuse them.

I have also had immediate family members in and out of rehab for drug/alcohol abuse. Im not going to dislike all drugs because a member of my family couldnt handle themselves and didnt know when to stop.

“Do you make your choices now, as a presumed adult, because you were educated or sheltered as a child?” I was sheltered from a lot of it actually, but i like to be well informed about things, especially those i put into my body so i did my own research.

bythebay's avatar

@ uberbatman: You said…“but dont make a stink on an online PUBLIC forum if others want to discuss them.”—I don’t ever remember making a “stink”, just voicing an opinion…in an online PUBLIC forum. And for the record, not all “pills” are legal. By the way, I sincerely hope all your research works out well for you.

El_Cadejo's avatar

Not trying to argue or anything, but “pills” generally refer to your oxys, percs, valiums, and xanax, stuff of that sort which are legal. For some reason i doubt your family member was going to rehab for an addiction to MDMA, a non addictive substance.

“By the way, I sincerely hope all your research works out well for you.” not sure if that was sarcasm or sincere, (id like to hope sincere since you used the word and all :p) but Thanks.

bythebay's avatar

I’m always sincere.

I would prefer not to have lasagna and LSD together.

bythebay's avatar

How about LSD and Lemon Meringue Pie then?

LSD goes with mango. I know this from first-hand experience.

bythebay's avatar

LOL!! Would lettuce wraps be safer? and I am in awe of your creativity!!

arcoarena's avatar

@uberbatman – lol at watching cartoons high as shit and having awesome ideas that are always forgotten by morning. That happens to me toooo many times.

it got to the point where i was carrying around a pocket memopad in my back pocket everyday just in case i was high and there was an amazing idea that i didn’t want to forget. haha.

I still have that memopad and a bunch of old papers that go torn out of it in my room but they’re really just filled with a bunch of stoned ramblings lol. (not that i won’t cherish them forever…because i will :] )

and also not everything for me is better when stoned. I have friends who are that way adn will want to hit a bong before we go to a big party but then i’ll get there and be too high to do anything lol. that depends on my mood tho.

and for mushrooms….definitely something with nature…and/or music! Especially something funky or electronic in my opinion. Bassnectar is sickkk when tripping on mushrooms. Just enjoying life basically.

El_Cadejo's avatar

Shpongle is the greatest tripping music, hands down.

dlevick's avatar

on shrooms I just like to be outside a lot, with friends. I also really like drawing with chalk when I’m high or making postcards, cooking is always the best espeacially if you get creative.

arcoarena's avatar

One time when me and my exgirlfriend were high as shit we melted a candle on a piece of paper for about an hour moving it around and making a design and just looking at it from a bunch of different angles. if you looked at it one way it looked like one thing, flipped it on its side we would see something different.

sounds stupid but it’s fucking amazing when you’re blazed and your imagination is going crazy. lol. sorta like looking at clouds though. very fun.

also! me and the same girl made a game where we would get blazed out of our minds and then drive around pretending we were other places then we really were. hahahaha.

now i know that one sounds reallllly stupid but it was so fun. We would basically get lost or just drive around smoking cigarettes and enjoy the weather. It’s funny how similar a lot of different places are to each other.

It would feel like we were in a different spot then we were. (this was discovered one time when we were driving stoned and we both thought we were at this one intersection and turned out we were at a completely different one that just sorta looked like it. (ps. not everyone has fun with this game. we tried it with other people who just made fun of us but i loved it) lol

alcohol – go out to pubs, go to partys, sit around with mates and just kick back and have a few cans.

pills/speed – go to clubs, go to partys. sometimes its fun to sit a mates and just get cooked up and just go on adventures lol.

weed – well i smoke everyday after work and if i’m by myself i just watch movies, play computer games and listen to music. when im with my 4 best mates we do the best stuff ever. put music on and have jamming sessions and pretend we are a person in the band playing. slow motion fighting with swords or pre-tend light sabers. find old star wars toys in mates shed and pretend we are fighting each other with the ships. play halo on xbox live (its fucking crazy) or just campaign (you think your the actual player when you do it 2 player). so many people that have smoked with us think we are weirdest people when we smoke but try doing stupid shit like that. it is so fun :D

mushrooms – done it once and me and 3 of my mates jumped on my mates roof and sat and watched out little fire for about 2 hours. the fire was so amazing though. i was blue and white and I could see a horse and carriot running through it. was awesome.

mgleezy's avatar
