Why do drug users start businesses?

>>17333869
The business owners I'm referring to are all 40 years old+

>>17333854
they think it makes them cool

It's a fun aspect of existence, playing around with the system you use to interpret reality itself: your mind. It can teach you interesting things about life if you don't become an addict.
For example, cocaine taught me about my own reward system and how my behavior and decisionmaking are conditioned based on expected rewards and fear of pain.

>>17333854
because some drugs are beneficial in moderation

>>17333854
people need to take the edge off or relieve stress in some form. some faggots eat, watch tv, shitpost, etc. getting stoned as fuck is fun, you should try it sometime aspie. my local italian joint (owned by a 60 year old italian straight off the boat 40 years ago) throws the best parties, attended one a while ago and we were smoking blunts out back and taking shots, got some great linguini alla vongole too

It seems people get into business then turn to drugs to cope with stress. But I've gone through many types of stresses and never resorted to drugs or drinking. Why do these people use drugs then?

I think some drugs sometimes are okay, but don't be a mentally ill crazy psychotic tranny doing lsd every day, smoking weed, and snorting coke before getting ass pounded. Yes, this is what most trannies do - I've browsed discord.

>>17333889
Well it doesn't, especially when they're caught years later.
>>17333900
I think the problem is the slippery slope. Why bother starting a habit when you know millions get addicted to it and die from it? It makes no sense.

>>17333869

>>17333854
It’s a fun experience. Sure it may not be good for you but who the hell wants to live forever anyway? At what cost? I’ve personally decided to take a long break from drugs with maybe the occasional psychedelic (most of them have good safety profiles and are non toxic and non addictive) but I’ve had some eye-opening experiences with drugs. Had some shitty experiences as well but honestly they built character. Of course there is a downside. Got addicted to smoking hash daily and it turned me into a lazy fuck but thank god ive quit now and feel like my old self again. Didn’t have any problems with all the others though

Life's too short to never do drugs. Also too long to do too many drugs

>>17333917
different ways of protecting/processing against stress. if a business owner works 70 hours a week, undergoes constant stress, and the only thing preventing him from an aneurism or a necking is some beer and weed, there’s literally nothing wrong with it. we were smoking weed in our cars outside school and taking shots out of water bottles at 11am at my public high school

>>17333943
Yeah they are a double-edged sword and a lot of people get enslaved by them. If you have low impulse control I don't recommend cocaine.
Might be worth trying weed or LSD or shrooms or something though!

>>17333854
How much would you pay to sit on your face and BRAAAAAAP

>>17333854
>I've never befriended anyone who does drugs
You probably have, you just didn't know. You sound like the biggest square ever, so naturally people won't open up to you about stuff like that.

>>17333987
Pay her obv

>>17333932
thats pretty based though

>>17333854
Based straightedge anon. Don't listen to these faggots, drugs are for normie cattle.

>>17333943
>I think the problem is the slippery slope
It 100% is and I don’t understand why people these days say that marijuana isn’t a gateway drug and make it seem like that’s only an opinion “boomers” as some retards would say and cops have when it completely is. Also don’t understand why marijuana is being touted as good so much these days while smoking is absolutely demonised when honestly they’re both super bad for you and in the long run make you more anxious and less abl to deal with stress. I say only people who know themselves very well should do drugs because they can be honest with themselves about their consumption and their addiction potential. Sadly I didn’t realise how much of an addictive, rush-seeking personality I had until I’d fallen into a bit of a spiral. But like I was saying it’s not all bad, I don’t have any regrets apart from wishing I hadn’t got into the habit of smoking hash and convincing myself for so long that it was okay because I only smoke at night

/thread

This is thread is a defining characteristic of someone I would hate to be around. Someone who’s lying to themselves. Too comfortable in their current ways of thinking to not even conceive how most humans who’ve ever lived have resorted to some form of drug use. You are the exception, not the norm. I’m not encouraging the use of mind altering substances, but to not even understand why people do it is either willful ignorance or pure retardation.

>>17334110
>willful ignorance
To be fair, OP is asking.

>>17334110
>You are the exception, not the norm.
This basically summaries your post.
>>17334147
Precisely.

>>17333854

>I'm 32 years old and have never befriended anyone who does drugs
Where the fuck do you live? My friends were using and selling drugs in 8th grade. I started smoking weed at 14 and moved up to psychedelics (shrooms, acid, molly, ket) at age 16, age 17 I was using cocaine, xanax and oxys. It was a game to us, seeing how many drugs we could try before turning 18

>>17334048

this is the most pussy post I’ve ever seen in my life, that shit is amateur hour lmfao

>>17334266
I can assure you your experience isn't the norm.

>>17333854
Even things like coffee and sugar can be addictiv.

>>17334110
Drugs are retarded and people who use them are stupid and weak. How do you like them apples, faggot?

>>17334320
Tbh the majority of kids in my medium-large high school class had tried weed or frequently smoked. But the grade below me, no one smoked or partied. I was friends with a kid that graduated that year and he hated his senior year of high school because of all his friends were gone. But a lot of people in my class and the class above me experimented with drugs and partied. I had a great fucking time in high school

>>17334320
I guess I had a fucked up upbringing

The moment I committed to never drinking or smoking weed again my entire life did. Alcohol and drugs are literal chains on your existence. Trust me

.6 years clean as a whistle

Because drugs can make you feel really, really good? You sound a little bit like an NPC to be honest.

>>17334401
t. npc

>>17333943
only low-IQs get addicted.

>>17333888
were you trying to greentext but instead put the text in 'Name'?
That's hilarious boomer

>>17334266
psychedelics are genuine spiritual experiences, i hate to see you degenerates group it with your hedonistic filth.

>>17334401
>You sound a little bit like an NPC to be honest.
Was that supposed to be an insult?
>>17334440

No

I take CBD oil everyday and microdose LSD every 3 days. Modafinil on days I stock trade.

>>17334401

Guys I found OP in a movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erCSJIt5BKo

>>17333888
My father in law smokes pot daily. He's 57 or so and has smoked since his 20s. I think it's a shitty habit, but he says it worked for his depression/anxiety, so good for him.

Keep in mind that baby boomers were the most drug addicted generation ever.

>>17334741
Modafinil is too mild for trading. Gotta get adderalls.

I am 5 weeks off of weed (daily user) and I have never felt better. Honestly amazed I wasted so much time/energy on that stupid shit.

>Way less anxiety
>Way more energy
>Desire to go out and socialize
>Desire to improve myself in general, work smarter, develop skills

I was doing fine while smoking, but I've made significant improvements since quitting.

>>17333854
You can't believe what high stress levels do to people until you have them.

>>17334832
great movie but I dont get how people do LSD in parties. I would freak the fuck out.

LSD and MDMA are great

>>17333854
It's because Westerners are mostly atheists nowadays, and even Christians see Christianity as a tradition rather than a religion.
Literally everyone is living on the surface, ego taking all the decisions, nobody can survive 5 minutes in a quiet room. You guys have the brains of drug addicts even before you take your first drugs.
Stuff like inner smiling, microcosmic orbit or Shamrock sufi meditation are seen as mumbo-jumbo, and without those, if you're not going to overcome your inner problems, you have to at least distract yourself from them in order to cope with life. That's when drugs come in and provide a solution.

>>17336252
Did you get into drugs out of peer pressure or have you always enjoyed using drugs alone?

>>17334930
>baby boomers were the most drug addicted generation ever
takes the sole achievement GenX'ers were ever noteworthy of
gives that to the boomer as well

Dumb faggot. Your brain is literally made of drugs. You have drugs coursing through your entire body right now, even before you were even born. Increasing the amount of production of those drugs in your body or adding a new drug to what is already a cocktail of drugs inside you is negligible. If you don't understand this and how to manage the drugs that your body produces naturally then you are going to wind up addicted to porn or videogames or food some shit because hurrrr i dun do druq while you eat snacks all day spiking your insulin and fucking up your body chemistry, or gambling or playing videogames and flooding your brain with dopamine etc which actually are POWERFUL drugs, more powerful than fucking THC that's for god damn sure.

This is the basis of mind control, sex magic, etc. Leveraging the production of those drugs by drawing your attention to stimuli and then using that against you by making pavlovian corelations to other feelings or emotions etc. Jews are doing this all the time on this board by posting BBC and thot memes with messages about how you should give up and kill yourself etc, that's why we have such a high uptick in the current generation of young men being attracted to becoming trannies and cucks and porn addicts.

You don't get a choice whether or not you take drugs. You're taking them right now so you better fucking learn how to maintain and manage them or you are going to be fucked.

>>17334457
You sound like a massive faggot. Tripping can be a great experience but the real adults are doing coke in the bar bathroom. Also clearly from my anecdote it was a gateway to harder drugs. After weed I thought shrooms would be relatively harmless and it escalated from there

>>17336920

Have sex

>>17333854
I work a very stressful job (attorney) and I don’t do any drugs, but I do drink a lot when I come home from work.

I think the only reason I don’t take stimulants is 1) I’m afraid to buy them and get in trouble with the law, and 2) I wouldn’t know which ones to take/where to get them.

That being said, if I knew where to buy some legal stimulants I’d be all over that shit. But just like OP, now that I’m out of law school I really don’t know anybody who’s taking drugs besides CBD or alcohol/caffeine.

>>17336427
people get into drugs because of what they do. They make you feel good, they make the world more interesting, they allow you to think in ways you couldn't sober, they make sex more enjoyable and food taste better. The only problem with them is that their is a price to pay, either in physical health, mental health, withdrawals, or the even just the dollar price tag. That's it. If there were no consequences everyone would use them occasionally.

>>17337040
okay i will thanks

>>17334741
Genuinely curious, what does CBD oil actually do for you, personally? I'm skeptical of the benefits, especially when people tout bullshit ones (e.g. cure for cancer)

>>17333869

OH SNAP

>>17333854
Some keep them awake, some help them sleep, some make them productive, some make them relax and some get their dick hard. It's all self medication. I don't see that big a deal with it as long as it's kept in check.

the truth is as you get older, you will learn that everyone is on drugs.

Also a lot of successful people do drugs to keep up with their productivity.

>>17337140
It seems pretty powerful, the only people I know who really report positive effects with it are those with chronic conditions. For me, it might make me slightly more calm, relaxed, and sleepy if it does anything.

But I have a friend who was able to replace his daily ibuprofen for CBD oil. He has leg pain due to a giant metal rod in his leg from a broken leg surgery over a decade ago.

I also know someone who takes it to treat epilepsy and apparently it helps a great deal.

>>17337193
>the truth is as you get older, you will learn that everyone is on drugs.
This is also true. The older I get the more I realise the people older than me are on drugs. The ones that aren't are full blown alcoholics which is a worse evil.

>>17334401

Because they are weak and need to escape reality

if you have not explored your mind with the use of psychedelics at least once in your life i pity you

Idk it's fun???

My friends and I are all lawyers, analyst for major investment banks, engineers, etc. It's something to do when you're at a party, music festival, etc and if you aren't stupid and test your shit it's reasonably or as safe as drinking alcohol.

>>17337080
You don't know enough people then. I'm an attorney and the amount of people using coke regularly would probably surprise you. (I don't regularly but do when the opportunity presents itself somewhere).
