Drugs are fun, drug conversation isn't
I was a bit of a dabbler in my day (E a few times, acid a few more times, speed once, mushies, nothing major) and still regularly smoke weed to this day, but while I enjoy the act of taking drugs, talking about drugs bores the bollocks off me (with all due respect to QOTW; most of the stories here are entertaining enough and I'll no doubt share one or two myself). Maybe it's because it so often turns into a competition about who has the craziest story or has taken the most, maybe it's because most drug stories are very similar, maybe it's just because I get tired of stories that begin with "Yeah Bez and I were really high one time..."

It's weirdly ironic, I know, but maybe it's all of the above plus the fact that the people I talk to about drugs go on and on and ON about them until I can't stand it any more, especially acid. As Kinky Friedman once wrote, drugs make interesting people more boring and boring people more interesting.

Writing interesting anecdotes is far from being a universal skill,
especially when the story takes place largely within your own head.
It takes a really good writer to pull it off. We'll just have to see if there's one here.

Yeah, yeah, I get where you're coming from, but...
...let me tell you what happened to me, right. It was fucking mental. Honest, you would have laughed your bollocks/tits off. There were things growing out of his/her ears/eyes/arse etc etc ZZzzzzzzzz

Having said that, I've posted a couple of anecdotes and am now feeling slightly paranoid. In a non-drug way.
