Pfft Kittinger would disagree


Captain Kittinger was then assigned to the Aerospace Medical Research Laboratories at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. For Project Excelsior (meaning "ever upward", a name given to the project by Colonel Stapp), as part of research into high altitude bailout, he made a series of three parachute jumps wearing a pressurized suit, from a helium balloon with an open gondola.
The first, from 76,400 feet (23,287 m) in November, 1959 was a near tragedy when an equipment malfunction caused him to lose consciousness, but the automatic parachute saved him (he went into a flat spin at a rotational velocity of 120 rpm; the G factor at his extremities was calculated to be over 22 times that of gravity, setting another record). Three weeks later he jumped again from 74,700 feet (22,769 m). For that return jump Kittinger was awarded the Leo Stevens parachute medal.

Weed makes me dumb and laugh alot.

Alcohol makes me speak my mind and act my thoughts.

Sex makes me bust my nut and pleasure another.

I presume someone has made the "all at the same time" joke, so I'll just say they can't be compared and they all get boring after a while.

One approach (which of course I am not advocating for anything which might be illegal) is to alternate: get into one for a while, then phase that out in favour of one of the others.

Combine at least 60 mg of codeine phosphate with 5-10 mg of valium. That's pretty damn nice. Alcohol doesn't do anything good for me - just gives me stonking migraines. Painkillers are way better.

Earlier this year though I discovered Tramadol - it's absolutely ace. Kills pain and also boosts your serotonin / noradrenalin levels. Very nice combination. Of course, to really get properly high on it, you need at least 400 mg.

The alternatives are carisoprodol (Soma) - 700 mg feels nice for about an hour. Wears off rapidly after that. Or diphenhydramine (benadryl) - about 100 mg will mong you out very well indeed (and if you take some before bedtime, prepare for some extremely vivid dreaming).

And then of course theres Ambien (a.k.a. stilnox). Nice hypnotic effect.

Sex is hands down the best high, period. Now you can certainly enhance it with various tools you have listed in the poll, but I'd rather have an endless train of women than an endless supply of alcohol.

I do enjoy both pot and booze (often simultaneously), but not nearly as much as I enjoy getting laid. Which makes sense, I suppose, as an evolutionary imperative or some such thing.

They're all different and they cannot be compared. I like them all once in a while, but my favorite "high" is probably LSD (though it can be really rather tiring after ten fucking hours of tripping). The one I experience most is marijuana, and that one might be my second favorite (or possibly tied for first with Alice D.).

I'd never do any drug besides weed and alcohol....but even so, to be truely happy with weed or alcohol, you have to use them to further enjoy life not to escape life, as it seems you do.

X is the only drug I've ever (besides weed) wanted to do but would never do because of how bad it can be for you.

But because I'm so interested in it, I'll have to live it through you.

Tell me about it. What's it like, how is it? How's sex on it? Is it true you get totally horny? Have you had sex on it?

The problem with X is what it does to your spinal fluid, which explains why people have back problems after prolonged use. It also has been shown to short out portions of your brain after prolonged use. Many a case of depression have resulted from frequent use of mdma (x) as it affects seretonin (sic) production and decreases it naturally. Shrooms are a natural high which leaves your body within a couple of days and has little lasting effects. Both are excellent while in progress, but X is hell in the long run.

Cause a lot of people like to talk crap when it comes to drugs, they think it makes them cool.

Cause...you know...they're not.

And I ACTUALLY know that from experience. So, if you fake it, shut it. Thank you.

And my answer, like I said on the first page, the best high is a sugar high. It can pwn any high given from drugs, ANY day.
And plus, you don't get high from alcohol. You get....drunk.

You're quoting the results of a highly questionable study commissioned by none other than the US-fucking-government. The German equivalent showed only a 5% decrease in serotonin reuptake ability after prolonged use and the scientists said that even this could probably bounce back. The spinal fluid rumor is an urban legend. Do some research, mate! :)

Sex, because all of the negative effects can be effectively prevented if one is careful and it doesn't otherwise harm your body.

That's out of that list, though. For myself...I don't know what I'd rate as my best high, per se.

Well, very few people have mentioned any drugs apart from alcohol and weed. And, as drug use is so prevalent among us yoof (at least, where I am) I don’t think there’s too much boasting going on.

Using myself as an example, I’ve put weed/hash, MDMA/pills, cocaine, speed, LSD, base, alcohol, shrooms and copious amounts of caffeine into my body, but I don’t feel like I’m a particularly good example of a heavy drug user. Not compared to most of my peers.

And certainly not if you believe everything the fourth estate is telling us about today’s kids and the drugs they take to help study.

Wow...did you think that up all by yourself?

I haven't had sex on it, I've only done it the once. But yes, it does get you damn horny.

It's a wonderful feeling anyway; it is, without appearing stupid, a feeling of ecstasy that creeps up on you, and lasts for a few hours. I wouldn't do it regularly though, the comedown isn't fun at all, but it's well worth it just the once, if only to experiance the extremity of emotion it offers.

I would like to go on a little rant. People who say people who do smoke weed or drink or whatever have no self-respect or are bad people annoy me. Because a lot of the people who say that have sex which is hypocritical. Sex is more dangerous and can lead to more problems like kids than alcohol or weed. rant over.
