RE: and that is what I will use to keep me from getting burned in life. Back in my stoner days, I actually believed that most people were generally good natured and valued friendship. It doesn't take long to realize that the vast majority of people you will ever meet are only out there to satisfy their own desires and really don't give a shit about anyone else.
That’s true there are a lot of assholes out there. Avoid them.
RE: If I only hanged out around my true friends, I wouldn't ever see over 2 people at a time.
That number of real friends I have has been whittled down over the years. I’ve only got a few real true friends. Maybe 7 or 8 people I trust with my life. Everyone else is more or less just someone I chill with.
RE: The problem being is the college atmosphere I live in tends to invite over plenty of unfriendlies to where people are hanging out.
I’d don’t exactly know what your stance on violence is but I vent my aggression on people who have wronged me. They stay away from me because they know I’m willing to do what they wont. They fear me because I blow things way out of proportion and I’m willing to take it all the way. It’s a form of checks and balances for me. I’ve very kind to my friends and people I like but if I’m even remotely near someone I don’t like I become a different person I start grinding my teeth. I just lose it.
RE: I'm not going to just up and leave because some backstabber just walked in the room; I have just as much of a right, if not more, to be there as they do.
You do have the right to stay. They screwed you. They should be worried about coming near you. Don’t just sit there. Put them in a hurt locker.
RE: Yes, I've been burned a few times. Yes, I've taken more than my fair share of beatings growing up. The way I see it, everyone takes being burned or beating at some point in their life.
I know I did. I’ve been jumped. I’ve been stabbed. I’ve had more guns pulled out on me than I can count. I survived and they got theirs.
RE: The way I see it, everyone takes being burned or beating at some point in their life. We can't prevent it, we can only make sure we know who it is on the giving end.
Not true. It’s all about turning the tables. Don’t let people shit on you. It’s not about how big you are it’s what you’re willing to do. How far you’re willing to take it. When people recognize that’s your state of mind they wont fuck with you. Trust me.
RE: stocking up is a good idea
Read about operation white horse then say that. Hot potato and clean galss is the way to go. Look at it like this, are you more screwed if you have a set of glassware or are you more screwed if you have glassware and a carboy of sassy?
RE: but we will always be able to me MDMA so it doesn't really matter. They'll NEVER make Sassafras Root bark illegal.
I don’t know about never. They might regulate it. However, if you look at it from a logistical standpoint. It’s the quickest easiest way for use to get what we want. If they shut off the flow were going to find a million new ways to make safrole. We’ve already got dozens of methods and it’s not even off the market. That’s a million new pieces of paperwork, a million new protocols, and lots more work for them. Not to mention the public out cry. I don’t see how they ever plan to succeed. The research is always going to go faster than the legislation. All in all, they’re asked out.
