Frist off, very interesting and articulate post Craig. I too have been at gatherings where there was a very mixed crowd of very successfull people who "party", or dabble with many "illegal" drugs. It just goes to show that it's not just something teenagers are doing in the alley after school.
I think though that it's a shame most of them are very discrete about it. I am very open and honest about my recreation and medical drug use. I let my family, doctor, and all my friends know where I stand on the issue and how it is part of my lifestyle like it or not. I do not encourage anyone into anything they feel is wrong or are uncomfortable with and understanably believe I should not be so lectured with folklore and propaganda either. I could go on and on and make comparisions between many legal and illegal drugs as far as safety and legitimate use goes, but frankly I'm too tired and it will always be an endless debate.
I would just like to make one point, I think starting off with half a pill of ecstasy may be a bit much while on Nardil. Unfortunatley, since it's an illicit drug one can never (unless prepaeed by oneself, which I have the luxury of knowing a very talented chemist) know the exact doesage or the exact "ingredients" I experience a wonderful time while doing 1/3's at a time. Each to his or her own. I personally think Nardil's side-effects and adverse reactions with other substances is over-hyped.
I'd also like to buzz in on what you mentioned about alcohol. I was never really a big drinker. I can't remember the last time other than in high school where I actually enjoyed drinking. Too many side-effects. I have tried having a few drinks on Nardil and found it to be quite distastful. Not even had drinking enough to get a good buzz going I became very depressed and it seemed to last for days. Oddly enough when I would use ecstasy prior to Nardil therapy I had the same depressive reaction afterwards. I now hardly notice an after-effects, or rarely a very mild increase in deression for a day or so, but nothing compared to when not on Nardil.
Best wishes,
Carlos
