These two guys just started this political conversation by denying that they're libertarians with some disdain in their tone for the word. They then start talking about strict constructionism, limiting the government's responsibilities, and states' rights. Guys, I don't really know what else you could be.

Not far out enough on the liberal axis to call themselves libertarian?

Okay cool, now they're just talking about terrible anime. This is more tolerable.

Not having drugs feels like my lover of five years has just left for my best friend, successfully sued me for my house, car, family, and dog, and then shot me in the gut.

When I hear dubstep, my jaw starts aching, and my teeth chatter, and I get a cold sweat. When I sit in a room with pastel purple paint on the walls (like, say, the one at Rehab) I get minor visual hallucinations. Driving at night is technicolor insanity you would not believe when all the lights leave temporary streaks across your vision.

Uncool? So you say. But it floats my boat pretty well.

Well, all these anecdotes about the long-term effects of hallucinogens have turned me away from them more than three mandatory school classes could. Congrats.

I feel that way when I hear dubstep already, though.


Good. More for me! Drugs are bad.

I don't discuss drug use online, but I wanted to correct something someone said earlier, or shed some light on it.

Flashbacks aren't caused by taking acids, they are a naturally occurring thing in the human brain, that your brain will recall a deeply emotional event and emulate the feeling at random.  It just so happens to be, that when this happens to people who have taken acid, it gives them a somewhat hallucinogenic experience, but the flashback itself can happen to anyone, even if they've never touched drugs.

Ah. :) Thank you for correcting me. I'd never really noticed flashbacks until after I'd done acid, so I just kind of figured they were from the drug use.

Yeah, there are a variety of conditions that can "store" flashbacks and a variety of conditions to "access" them. Drugs are just a fairly common "storage" condition.

Well you're more likely to subconsciously bring up that time you were almost eaten by a 47 headed purple dragon than that time you sat down and ate a ham and cheese sandwich.

That is so not what it's like. :P But I'll let it go this time.

Zing! One point for Darkling. But mushrooms aren't like that either. Nor are the disassociants, like Datura or cough syrup. Mescaline? But I've never had that, so I can't comment on it.
