brian is pronounceable. since being diagnosed in 1997 as paranoid-scizhophrenic, i have been on various different meds, but for the last few years i have a cocktail that has been working very well. i always take my meds, and cannot imagine folks that are supposed to take them and don't. now on to the other drugs.
weed - will and always shall. that's when i can find it. (being a shut-in doesn't gather many contacts). alcohol - used to down stout after stout, but since i was diagnosed, i rarely touch it. (may sound funny and contrary to the pot, but as you know there is a big difference and not just health wise.) LSD - it is funny. i was just thinking about how most folks tend to lump LSD into a youthful folly drug. my opinion is contrary, as LSD isn't just a cool high. it needs to be tended to with clarity and respect, something that most people seem to lack when it comes to hallucinogens. you/i can keep with it, as it has always opened my senses and mind to a different view and appreciaton of life in all it's vagaries. synthetic yes, but it still can be treated with the power it delivers. mushrooms - a different trip than LSD. naturally, more organic, and i have tended to have better times in nature than inside with a shroom trip. cocaine - tried it once. see no point in it. seems though that most people in El Paso prefer cocaine to any other drug. trying to keep up with the big city . speed - coffee is as fast as i want to go, and i even drink it with what the fuck am i doing? stance. have tried meth, and well, i don't feel like staying up for three days and feeling like a fucking dirt bag. robitussin and ephedrine - yes, yuck, but it was a phase, and i wouldn't do it again. though, while high on robitussin, i did gather one of my favorite ideas/?. what would Jesus look like if he was a Peanut character? i keep this with me on the bad days. heroin/opium and others - the best of them all. if i ever again find a way to get some dope, i would use it responsibly by not shooting it, but by lacing some natural smoke, or some good weed. keep the high manageable, and coast through my work and projects. hash - the reason i want to live in Amsterdam or in a small Belgium village. as you, Allan, i am an active supporter of the legalization and eductaion on the drug platform. it's something this conutry serious lacks and wastes billions of dollars on the problem . it's only a problem if you make it one. the qualities associated with some of the above drugs are greatly skewed. yes. my body. my choice. thank you for actually answering this question in particular, and some of the others. i appreciate this group to no end, as you all are my main form of communication and socialization. i was brought up solo, and spent my formative years hooked to a C-64 and QuantumLink, not being readily accepted at the time due to my computer usage. being an only child has tremendous advantages that help you deal with later life with a bit more self-reliance than you freaks with siblings. :) where was i...oh. sometimes it seems that the Alice in Wonderland grip on FluxList makes nonsense the norm and seriousness the black sheep. it is annoying at times, but i understand that Fluxus never takes/took itself (or its non-self) very seriously. all this said, i will get back to work and continue to enjoy and support what i can of FluxList and the super kids that inhabit it. love, hugs, kisses and spit. brian
