If drugs are so bad for the brain how come I have been using a plethora of drugs since my teens and retired?

Question

at 35 years old, Graduated from William Paterson University with a major in philosophy, currently study cognative science, understand almost all pyhsics and philosophy theories ad nauseum, have and teach hyper-acclerated learning, astronomy, mathmatics, music theory, geometry etc etc, I dont know everything off the top of my head but there is almost no subject that I cannot understand within in minutes of study. All the while indulging in a buffet table of illegal drugs for most of my life. As a matter of fact I am going to take some LSD 1943 and go to the beach today and tomorrow I will be as fresh and alert as a non drug user. It does not bother me at all, can anti-druggers please explain this?

Answer 1

Sure, I can explain it.

As far as I know, LSD isn't bad for the brain. Amphetamines, cocaine, alcohol, barbiturates, these are bad for the brain. Ecstasy is bad for the brain. Heroin and other opiates aren't bad for the brain, either, though you don't think very well while under their influence.

Whatever you've taken has certainly not been very good for the humility, though.

I've been smoking cigarettes for 40 years and have no lung or heart disease. Ask me again next year, if you're still capable of asking questions by then. Perhaps I'll still have none. But the odds are increasingly against it. Depending on which drugs you use, your odds may be increasingly against your continued mental success.

But I'm clearly in no position to lecture people on taking care of themselves, am I?

Take a moment and, honestly, look at what you wrote...do you notice the hyperactive cadence and run on sentences. Without going into specifics, which would be inappropriate in this forum, your language structure shows early signs of cognitive disarray. Using drugs is truly a personal decision, but if you are using any of the LSD derivatives, you should strongly consider not having offspring. Too many times, those pharmaceutical agents cause an alteration in some of your basic gene patterns leading to congenital deformities and delayed cognitive development in your children. Odds are, you probably won't have to worry about that because after that many years of illicit drug use, you are likely sterile.

Answer 3

We walk a thin line between "Insanity and Genius" And dear you are a very very very bright genius it would seem. And you might not think drugs are effecting you as you've suffered no ill effects upon your brain and how it functions, but that is no positive constitution about what you might be doing to your body...Your internal organs, Your heart, your blood vessels, Even the make up of your brain in general, There have been studies proving that some drugs effect the serotonin levels in your brain...
So as it may seem, You are doing just fine with your huge mental capacity, but in all honesty you could be destroying your body....-shrugs-

Answer 4

Its your brain to fry in anyway you like. It sounds like you are on drugs now and are enjoying waxing philosophical. The only thing you might consider is that by your bragging you may bring unwanted attention to yourself from some law enforcement agency or your employer. Don't forget you sunscreen!

Answer 5

Some are working drug addicts. Don`t be too boastful, you have`nt made it to 36 yet. With all this education you can`t figure it out?

Answer 6

If nothing else, your drug use gives you a very active imagination.

Answer 7

Who are you trying to kid? You probably don't take drugs at all.

Answer 8

You strike me as a liar, drugs or no drugs.

Answer 9

wait a few more years then you'll forget everything, and I'm sure friends and family already think you're crazy.

Answer 10
