Belly Thoughts

Please. Please. Please. Stay away from heroin and meth. Please.

Don’t say “I just wanna try it once, I can control myself.” Don’t say it.

The post about Molly and Ecstasy is ridiculous and sounds like it was written by a 13 year old with X’s on the back of their hands. Your serotonin production get diminished for about a day, which does generally lead to a gloomy feeling, but it’s not a permanent condition. Hyperthermia is real, but not a guaranteed effect as it affects everyone differently. I overheat every time I do Ecstasy, which is why I wont take it, but I’m also 130lbs with a very high metabolism, not a prime candidate for taking speed. 

For those who are curious, here’s some real advice on social drug use….

Know Your Dealer - Buying drugs you’ve never taken off of someone you’ve never met is just stupid. Buying drugs you have taken off of someone you don’t know is also risky, but if you’re careful it generally works out. A lot of times people will try to sell you one thing by saying it’s something else. It’s usually bad product that they can’t get rid of. Other people will straight rip you off. You know how easy it is to fake a hit of blotter? It’s literally a piece paper.

Know Your Limits - I had a friend who used to go crazy with Acid, taking waaay more than was necessary. One day he took an insane dose and got arrested because he was found groping women in the park. There’s a point with all drugs at which you lose control of yourself, your limit is well before that point. And with certain drugs, there is no chance to learn from your mistakes.

Don’t Do It Alone - Particularly with psychedlics, it’s good to have a trip-sitter, someone who is sober and can drive you around and make sure you don’t do anything too stupid. With rave drugs it’s also good to have someone in case you overheat, and again, to make sure you don’t do anything stupid.

Don’t Show Off - Nobody worth a shit cares how much booze you can drink, how many hits of acid you can eat, or how much weed you can smoke. If anything, they’ll shake their head at the total waste. And believe me, there is such a thing as too high

Abandoned Greenhouse

9 to 5 at the office wasn’t for her … not when belly dancing could shimmy her into the big time

Ironically, pretty much what her high school guidance counselor had said.
