Recreational Drug Use and Psychedelics

I was having this thought because Greg Doucette made this video on what top Olympians, like what recreational drugs top Olympians are taking. Yeah. Or maybe just Olympians in general, something like that. And I agreed with some of the video, but I didn't really agree with all of it because I think it's just easy in his voice to make generalized statements. You know, like any of these people who like talk with polarizing methods. No, you're right. easy to catch on but he just spoke with generalized statements that sometimes it can make it seem like the whole of this demographic is taking these things which is obviously never true right correct like none of these things are never true you never have an all or nothing type situation everyone's always different everyone always responds differently yeah um but i was having those thoughts it's like when i think of like the bodybuilding industry and even some of even a lot of the fitness industry because a lot of them just don't talk about shit like it i think any drug use any medication use is like a gateway you know if you feel comfortable using one thing and then you realize that it's working good for you or it's actually helping you in life or it makes you feel good then you know your interest in other substances probably increases oh no doubt but i also hang out with a lot of people who have nothing to do with the bodybuilding industry or the fitness industry and they all have taken a ton of drugs so you know it's kind of like hard for me to be like like it's only the bodybuilding industry. It's like, it's fucking just humans just take shit, you know? I mean, like a lot of people do and they don't talk about it or they do if you're like their friend or something, but why not do it? You know, especially if it's, if you can do it safely. The problem is we, it's hard to do it safely because of the lack of access to quality stuff and no real knowledge other than this stuff is bad. Yeah. With everything that dose makes the poison. Yeah. I think that's a big part of it too, is like right now in the world, we are fighting against that because you know not too long ago we believed psychedelics were incredibly terrible yeah we thought psychedelics had a reason to be illegal um same thing with marijuana i remember when i was a kid i was in dare class and they were just talking about how fucking bad marijuana was for you oh man it's so funny and then dare failed it's like uh weed is bad for you but alcohol is okay like alcohol is one of the worst things you could possibly put in your body but if that's the only choice and you want to self-medicate or you want to have a good time and you lose many friends well that's your only choice right yeah um my girl and my best friend and i we went to john summit just like this last he just had a concert at uh what is it called it was just like this this one stadium he had like a single single stage concert there just literally this last weekend and like i still use my own substances you know i want to have fun so I took some I took a little bit of shrooms and smoked some weed I haven't drank alcohol in five or six years but I mean to be honest I had a fucking amazing ass time yeah no hangover no hangover yeah yeah felt pretty positive about shit maybe I got a little bit sleepy at the end because I smoked a little bit like yeah then I got you know okay sleep yeah but people have this because people have been lied to about all this stuff it's like uh people think acid I remember lsd you see the old like you see the old um dare things of people going crazy this is your brain on drugs cracking a couple of eggs and it's so it's such bullshit it's it's there's no context like is this on all the drugs or just a little bit of drugs just enough to have a good time so like the story i told you earlier about this weekend i took some shrooms and usually you know two grams three grams three and a half grams i'm pretty good on that i can i can go out and i have a great time. And unfortunately we didn't know how much was in what we took. And I probably took around seven grams. So I'm this hotel lobby and I'm like, I'm having a great time. And then I go, wait a minute. Oh, and I told everybody I got to go to my room real quick. And I ran to the room and laid in bed and just fricking had the universe like implode in my brain. And then a couple hours later I was good. And I went back downstairs and I went out, but, uh, it's great. Wait, how many hours till you went back downstairs i i spent about three hours i it peaked it was uh just this fucking light speed light year fucking millennium falcon and then it was over and then i just felt a little bit feel just relaxed and went downstairs and went out to a pub but uh you know people people talk about are you gonna lose your mind you're gonna jump out of a window you know you're gonna hurt yourself but like i'm sure if you if you're unprepared for that stuff you take that type of dose probably not a good idea yeah but taking a couple of grams of shrooms and going out it's it's a great it's fantastic i mean that's how i feel i think that's how most of us feel that uh
