Yeah, no wonder why it is still considered by many the most unpredictable of all drugs.
You never know how you will feel, what your experience will be like, and the outcome.
But so is Fentanyl. Heard so many crippling stories about that drug. That it's also began to gain popularity, here in Italy, too. That we're almost crossing the epidemic borders.
But even pure Nicotine it's no fun, either, if you accidentally ingest it or pour it on your skin. Instant Nicotine poisoning.
In fact, since the rise of e-cigs, buying highly concentrated Nicotine liquids (i'm talking about like 24-36mg) it's illegal. And you cannot even re-sell ANY products containing Nicotine (like Nicotine Gums, Lozenges and e-liquids), on either Amazon/eBay or some other website, unless you're a certified store.
Needless to say that, to me, the most dangerous substances are what are considered legal.

The thing about alcoholism, is that one remains an alcoholic even after they have quit drinking for good.

If any of you have had an alcohol problem in the past, and stopped drinking, stay that way: there is no such thing as just having a small tipple after quitting, since you will drink the whole bottle, and then look for another one, then another one, etc.

Probably took too much advice that I shouldn't have. Frank Zappa once said that if you end up having a boring miserable life because you listened to everybody around you then you deserve it. My life isn't boring or miserable but I can see what he was talking about. Sometimes you can look back and see where you should have zigged instead of zagged.

This is the exact quote:

“If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.”

Oh that's BAD

Good answer, could be mine too, though my whole life since high school has been pretty much one bad decision - or non-decision - after another.

I have nothing against waking off, but I do make it a point of principle of never directly* spending a single penny towards sex, be it onastic or with a partner.

I confess that before the WWW came into being, I would occasionally buy a wank mag or porn VHS, but that was like 25 years ago...

* Indirect spending, such as utility bills that include the electricity I consume when using my computer to search for porn and to play it doesn't count, and neither does buying drinks for girls, or taking them out for a meal.
