Watching The Might Boosh on psychedelics seems like it might be a bit redundant, no?

hard drug habit or booze? I agree way too toxic. I struggle with it as a student because its hard to separate from the culture and my roomates, who just last night woke me up at 4 am after binging all night. As i get older or wiser, to keep from the delicate terminoligy, it gets easier.
iron will power, you should read some Jack London. Particularly a short story "the will to live."

I'm into local & craft beers. So I normally throw a few back on the weekends. I don't go crazy & try to get drunk. I actually like the taste & the functional buzz I get from it. Drugs do not interest me neither does smoking, so never tried it.

And of course, I like my music loud & fast!

Ireckon every person should get into drugs once in their life; it opens up your mind, you descover new parts of yourself - your capacity to feel - to feel; happiness, to feel powerful, to feel how deeply you can love people. You feel godly - fresh, powerful, incredible and everything is extension of yourself and nothing hurts.

Being raw with high greens feels exactly like this, like taking pills, same deal. I wouldn't have the balls to take drugs on raw, the last time I took something, I was high raw and my heart felt like it was going to blow and my throat closed up, thought I would die lol.

I used to smoke a lot of cannabis, and there is all this debate about wether or not it causes mental disorders, and it seriously fucked up my head - it made me so utterly depressed and it's not even a 'hardcore' drug, I quit smoking it over a year ago but I feel like it has permanetly trashed my personality - I don't have the confidence or charisma that I used to. The only way I can 'be myself', who I was before the drugs is if I go raw.

You don't need drugs or booze to feel fucking wicked on raw, and raw is so good for your soul and body and mind and all the drugs do is mess it all up. So, yeah in my opinion, drugs aren't cool at all and pointless if you eat raw with high greens.

:)


in my opinion there isn't any need for drugs or booze at all while raw. I have a lot of friends who take drugs and they all think raw is wicked, because they understand the high and I hope maybe it will inspire them to get clean. I think most people that I talk to who take drugs, all say similar things - that it destroys your character, you become less you, one of my friends said it felt as though the drugs had taken away his soul =[

so, no not cool at all.

Wonderful , perfect Answer .

Quite complete .

Will print and give further .

I agree with you , fully .

Have made Researches on that , that I include talking with people who used to take it ( ... I include in Hospital , as well ) ...

Specially if I was under strong PsychoPharma_PsyMed ... which are - to me - a kind of Drug ( ' Streets Drugs ' , the Official Classification , I mean here , as you , as well , once ' Drug ' is everything , even a Herbal Tea ) .

To keep my VEG RAW Diet is the right way to me , no doubt . A whole life Experience talks for me .

I ' m going into it again , in a complete way , after a long period of ' breaks ' , due to certain circunstances .

Baby, this answer rocks. I understand it completely. I did quite a lot of pills over a 2 year period in my 20s and got to experience all of what you described in your 1st paragraph. When I keep my raw diet pure and stay away from nuts, I feel the same way. It is how I want to feel and is the person I want to be but now its natural. Alot ex drug users who counsel addicts talk about the same natural high and how similar it is to their old one, just without the life fucking properties.

It would be messed up to drink yourself blind or use hard drugs while being all raw (not to mention dangerous) and I feel the later replaces the former.
I have friend who smoked pot everyday for about 20 years and she says the same as you regarding it trashing her personality etc.
Thanks for a great honest 'raw' reply
