That is the question that I currently ponder.
My friends have, apparently, got wind of a new drug called 'Saliva'. You smoke it. It's like pot, but trippy - you hallucinate, you belive your dreams are real, and it's supposed to be spiritually enlightening. According to them it has never killed anyone, never done any real damage. It's perfectly safe.
But still, I am worried. I have grown quite fond of my brain, and it would not be helpful for me if it was turned to mush by a bad trip. It would also not be helpful for me to choke on my own vomit, as I have nearly managed once before by going on a 'whitey'.
I'm not sure what to do...Hicks says that drugs are good, whilst Aronofsky shows me just how funned up things can get. I know the stuff I'm gonna do is hardly heroin, but still...
Advice, please.

Have you had any beer though? cos if you have, alcohol is easily as bad, if not worse. besides, theres nothing wrong with my brain (he says rocking back and forth in a dark room)

Damn sensible advise there Goaty !
I tried pot in my younger days and thought "hey - whats that all about" and decided there and then that it just wasn't worth it.
My advice is keep away from all drugs - some people do have more of an addictive nature than others and generally we do not know how things will affect us.
If you have to try something - follow Goatboys advice and make sure you are safe and have someone there who can deal with any problems.

Ok, there are times when an adult discussion is needed without "apparently" or "maybe"
I have taken hallucinagenics before.
On more than once occasion. And you need to know what it is you're taking and exactly how to/what quantities etc.
Now, I am not condoning this in any way whatsoever, nor promoting it or saying "Hey kids, it's cool!".
I'm just saying if you feel the need to, or want to experience for yourself without the hysteria that I've seen in the Daily Mail the past couple of weeks concerning the declassification of cannabis to a C class, then make yourself aware of what you are doing before.
Don't just gobble this stuff and then go clubbing or sit in the park etc.
If you do take it, make sure at least one of your party is sober - there needs to be someone around that can assist if needed with anything at all and isn't tripping.
Be somewhere you know and ensure you are in a good mood before you take anything, hallucinagens enhance/magnify exisiting emotions and if you're not happy then don't expect a nice pleasant experience.
There are a number of factors involved, but the number one is always make sure you know what it is you are taking.
The best site out there for non-scaremongering, independant advice is
http://www.erowid.org
It will explain the various substances, the effects, the conditions best condusive for it etc etc.
And in case any parents or over-zealous officials read this, let me make perfectly clear that I in no way endorse, encourage or imply it's anything other than a personal choice of mine to partake, fully aware of the risks and able to decide for myself as an adult.

Drugs.
If the benefits outweigh the costs (and so long as you don't mind how you achieve a particular state of mind, and there's the appropriate drug to help you get where you want to be, there are benefits), why not?
However, it's pretty rare that the benefits outweigh the costs, in my opinion, and when you don't even know what those costs might be, i'd definitely steer well clear.
And do you really think it's a coincidence that it's only the drugs that informed scientific opinion doesn't find the benefits hugely outweighed by the costs, which are either legal or (cannabis) virtually legal?
So in summary (ragrding illegal drugs):
How pathetic.

Fosters is rank
Whiteys suck
Never heard of saliva, go ask them what other names it has.
Normal fags also suck.

Fosters is great at first, but it's only 4%, and it goes through you like water. Drink 6 pints of Fosters and you can end up going for 7 or even 8 slashes. Very strange
Go for Bud - the king of beers

I know what you mean Ant.
I've had a couple of spliffs when I was younger but I never liked it really so I haven't bothered for years. My mates smoke a lot and I find them really boring when they are doing it.
As for cigs, I have been smoking for a long time but I go through phases like where I don't smoke during the day and stuff like that. I'll give up someday, probably when I buy a house as I won't be happy having a smoke filled house.
Beer, though, is great. No way I am giving that up. Drink Fosters!!
