yeah i dont think drugs brought me to this sight, a friend said ppl have parties out doors and in factories illegally, all night long, i was like wow how do u get invited, so then a posted the same thread as everyone else does and got invited into the “inner circle” whitch has its pros and cons:wink::wink:

I was doing drugs and partying long before this place existed 😉 but the drugs/party scene is also what inspired me to think in the early 1990s “hmm, these computers could be used for way more interesting things than just calculating accounts in offices, especially now they can communicate with each other”

its good sometimes though to realise there are lots of other people out there people who never started and never will (even if they know people who do), helps you keep life in perspective..

Yeah thats a difficult one cos ita really hard to imagine where I might have been if i had’nt, could have been better, could have been worse? I think i would have always been doing pretty exciting/fun/slightly dangerous stuff in my spare time if I had’nt taken them, cos that always been my personality.

I only ever take them at parties, so they are tied up with that, and I would’nt change that for the world!

Exactly. and if drugs hadn’t turned my political views more towards progressive/radical stuff I’d have been perfectly happy to take the Queens quid (or Blair/Browns euro?) in some form or another, and I’ve always had an interest in electronic surveillance / counter surveillance and espionage

as I said wouldn’t have gone for OB or HM forces as too rulebound/too many knuckledraggers / redneck racists, and wouldn’t pass the eyesight tests anyway , but would have had no compunction about GCHQ , HM Revenue and Customs (more exciting than many think!) or an investigative or data gathering role in one of the other Whitehall security agencies…

I chose sometimes I questions if I should have, this is usually after a heavy weekend to be fair. The fact that it bothers some family and friends can make me feel a bit bad for it, but I am glad I chose to try it all as it has shown me some fantastic times, I have experienced some amazing things and its made me who I am (I don’t mind the slight oddness of me too much now) :laugh_at:

theyve definatly played a part in shaping me into who i am

this is me too.
i do keep wondering what my life might have been like if my family had never moved and i’d got a good education and went to uni etc.
as it is i’m just a burnt out, part time traveller who occasionally works for minimum wage and who regulalry mashes up my head with drink and drugs.

a combination of luck and good karma seems to have stopped me having the worst experiences – maybe its because most of the time (especially as I matured) I’ve always tried to do positive things on drugs…

i completely agree, this is somehing really important to my ethos, good karma is so vital to your happiness. also wanting to educate myself about the drugs i am taking has stopped me from going overboard – along with learning from other peoples mistakes around me.

for me though as much as i love taking drugs, i love my sober experiences of life so much more – theyre what make me trully happy

they also made me more tolerant and slightly more trusting

definatly, i was shy and untrusting until i started to chat shite to strangers every weekend and realised how many amazing people there really are that im yet to meet

i dont think drugs have changed my political view points in anyway at all, i think ive always been thinking outside of the system, and ive always wanted to do the things in life that i want to do now. when i was 5 years old i told my mum i was gonna live in a truck and never stay in one place…
but i think taking drugs and going to free parties, among other things, made me realise how little the law system made sense to me and gave me a strong lack of respect for “authorities”

the important thing is though, are you happy? would you have lived, and continue to live, your life in any other way?

A couple of my managers are my old job were exactly like what I would have been if I’d completed my degree

Yes they earned a couple of grand more than me but the only treats one had to show for it were a modest sized motor car and perhaps some savings.

Another had a stable marriage, a loving wife and four(!!) kids that he dearly loves but there’s no way I could handle that.. (ironically though he said he he thought i had a sense of inner peace he had not seen other than in religious people what pray a lot!)

I wouldn’t have traded this cash though for the experiences I had on the party scene, and after calming down (not giving it up completely) for just two years I’m already reaching the same “corporate” levels as these managers and got a house etc (don’t have a car yet but not much good without a license and with current exorbitant petrol prices!)

Achieved this all without having to stitch anyone up or turn on the community what brought me 17 years of fun (quite the opposite, I now do my best to stop youths (or older people!) fucking up or getting in too much trouble…

i first read that as ‘are you a hippy?’ :laugh_at:
dont see what thats got to do with anything lol

well the short answer is, no i’m not happy.
i used to think it was great raving around the world, taking loads of drugs, sleeping around etc but now i’m not so sure.
I’m pretty sure i wouldnt be happy as a straight guy in a straight job either though.
Theres still plenty of time for me to make a positive change in my life though.

I wouldnt trade my good memeories of partying for anything either.

And last year I got a mortgage after being unemployed for 17 years so theres more than one way to skin a cat isnt there.
I never had much faith in the ‘working your way up through a firm’ mentality and on reflection i’m glad i took the route i did but i still cant help wondering how things might have been.
