Why is tech full of druggies? How much of a drone do you have to be to resort to using drugs for your soul crushing job?

Almost everyone I know is hooked on some sort of drug or another (not counting occasional alcohol/caffeine). I live in a mid tier neighborhood. What a timeline, huh?

This, tho we'll all junkies with something to some degree.

My friend working numerous shit, min wage pizza delivery and carpet cleaning type jobs overdosed on heroin last Friday. Pretty disconnected from it, but I don't really feel sorry about him, he had plenty of chances to go to college, learn a trade, etc and opted to try to become a famous rockstar or something instead of being realistic. Makes sense why he was always out of money and shit now, if his heroin problem really was long term than it explains so much.

It's hard to relate to someone that was going to college for free and dropped out because he hated commuting. No shit, no one likes it, but if you're going to college for free, take that free fucking ticket. It's even harder relating to someone's problems about not being able to pay for gas when you make their two weeks worth of pay in half a day.

I use racetams for productivity, phenibut if I wanna kick back and chill, psychedelics if I feel like I need a kick in the ass to rethink things in my life.

go back, junkie

fags that try to justify it are pretty funny. i mean i sometimes somke myself but i don't kid myself saying it's not a drug. first time i smoked i went haywire lul.

Phenibut to chill?
Isn't it used as a study drug in its own right

Nope, it's pretty similar to alcohol/benzodiazepines. The people who claim that they use phenibut to study probably suffer from anxiety disorder and just can't focus and thus phenibut loosens them up and makes it easier to study. For most people phenibut would ruin your focus and memory though.

You have a fucked up life.

Is food a drug?
Only serious answers please.

Junkfood might as well be.
It makes you fat, fucks with your brain and body, releases dopamine similar to a junkie when he gets his shit

>beer
>harmful or addictive drugs
What? It's both addictive and harmful. Also fun.

i've been sober for a long time, like a month. Reason being I think it's a waste of money for the entertainment acquired.

Psychedelics are alright, but sporadically in small amounts.

>uses windows fucking vista
>4:3 meme monitor

What the fuck are you doing with your life mate?

>Why is tech full of druggies
You mean

>windows vista
have you never used 7 with small taskbar buttons before or what? Vista didn't even have taskbar buttons without labels.

The border is artificial. You can seperate on the basis that you need to eat something to sutain yourself or whether you ingest to improve performance or for entertainment like fat fucks but most for someone holding a strict diet to get health benefits and someone popping pills there is not much different. You are either way carefully ingesting ingredients to improve your body. And in either case wrong aplication can be detrimental.

Alcohol and coffee in small quantities are supposedly healthy for you, I've drank 1 cup of coffee everyday for the last 5 years with no adverse side effects.

>a waste of money for the entertainment acquired.
I bought 250g of MXE, when it was legal, for $1200. It's enough to last me 50 years at 50mg a session, twice weekly.
That's a far better investment than a gayming pc, socialising, or any other entertainment I could spend my money on.

Take a better pic which isn't fucking blurry
and no some fags here fell for the GNU meme

it's phenylephrine because anti-depressants don't work for me :'(

>coffee
you are fighting withdrawals with every cup of coffee you drink. take the pill

That is true. Ever since I started drinking redbulls & Coffee I never feel naturally energetic

Just a reminder that Adderall and vynase have the same pharmacophore and work on the same receptors as meth. (vynase is just the prodrug)
They give this shit to kids because single moms can't sit their kid down and teach them some proper study habits.
Reminder that if you need to take any performance enhancing drug to work then you need to quit.

Also if you're going to be drinking caffeine every day you need to take a 2 week period where you don't take in any kind of caffeine if you want it to keep working.

Coffee and beer are both harmful and addictive. You're a retard if you believe otherwise. Coffee is okay in small amounts but it's easy to get addicted to

alcohol is like a dirty benzo
pro-tip: it's not good for you

>not getting Vyvanse as an adult
lmao'ing at your life

There's (or was) a woman who eat mayonnaise everyday. Used it even in coffee.
You tell me. :^)
There are also fat fucks who can't resist to burgers or soda

with different binding energies, nub

>then you need to quit
Nah

Some faggot I knew from high school, who friended me years after on Facebook, unfriended me over this.
In high school, he wouldn't touch weed and I smoked a lot. Years later, he apparently turned into one of those "weed is a lifestyle" faggots (with his wageslave Barnes and Nobles job) and tried to post that "it's just a plant" argument," so I tried to gently correct him. This devolved into me eventually calling him an idiot and him telling me "you changed, man. You sound like my mother now." I'm like "bitch I just took bong rip, im just not lying to myself"

I can't open that article unless I accept spying features.

What does this even mean. The drug doesn't just change if your an adult

I think i would see the irony in this, for people doing at the least 4-5 of those daily.

The "its just a plant" fags are the worst. Opium is a plant, Cocaine is a plant, that argument doesnt even make sense. They're also almost exclusively the people who think that its totally ok to be stoned 24/7 and think they aren't effected by it whatsoever. Taking a few bong rips or smoking a joint after work or on the weekends is totally fine, but if you're deluding yourself into thinking its not a drug and getting stoned all day every day while working some minimum wage, minimum effort job and still living with your parents after the age of 25, you probably have a problem.

Dont get me wrong, I do know and work with a few people who do smoke weed before, during and after work every day and do just fine, but I also know and work with people who are extremely functional alcoholics as well. The failures who use these exceptions as rules make me laugh

>taking anti-depressants over a long period of time
best fix yourself before you wreck yourself

yea, facebook is full of such people. if it wasn't for my friends i wouldn't even go there.

The best part is that his dad is a typical ultra right wing tough guy. The son is now a hard left, retail working underling (not even management) weedlyfe smoker in his early 30s.
I'm pretty centrist myself, politically, but I giggle like an idiot internally when I think of the amount of shame he brings his pops.

anime and memes are pretty good at that

Actually the major difference is that meth has an easier time crossing the BBB than adderal. They act on the exact same receptors and a high dose of adderal has the same symptoms of a meth high

sick thread Jow Forums

Honestly, the only reason I go there these days is because I'm following a parrot rescue's page to find a parrot for myself.
Any friends I have worth a shit, I see at least once a month or they have my current phone number at the very least.
Social media is a fucking cancer and I refuse to participate for any reason other than to make my life a little easier, like in the case of the parrot.

Ya I definitely know the type. Although like everything the answer generally lies somewhere in the middle. If his dad wasn't such an asshole his son probably wouldn't have turned out like that

Oh, for sure. That's how it is with extremes.

The argument actually makes sense ONLY because you're counter argument involves plants where extensive chemical procedures are taken to produce a byproduct for the purposes of intoxication, the drug produced from cannbis, tetrahydrocannabinol, is naturally produced and not as a result of a science experiment conducted by jungle monkies

I unironically really want lsd, but I’d have to hide from my wife for ~6 hours, and that’s impossible.

>inb4 nu-Jow Forums “robots”

Fair enough, but they're only vaguely making that argument in most cases and it's also irrelevant when the argument is being made against the statement, "It's a fucking drug you fucking retard"

I agree with you, those who deny THC is a drug are fucking morons lying to themselves and others, but then again huge likes were made in the process of illegalizing the drug world-wide as well
Although two wrongs don't make a right, this was the inevitable by product

not really, all that is done to process coke is the plants are ground up and mixed with a solvent (literally anything from acetone to diesel), then the resulting paste is mixed with sulfuric acid and then later ammonia to neutralize the acid. All you have to do after that is dry it out and you have cocaine. Its not at all precise or scientific.

Its actually a fairly similar process to making marijuana concentrates

yeah except that we've been selecting for weed plants with more THC in them for a while now. 50 years ago smoking the plant material did hardly anything. it's incredibly potent now.

>Opium is a plant, Cocaine is a plant
not really.

The smarter you are the more likely you are to realize the grind of life is completely fucking pointless in any job and the more likely you are to seek drugs to make that boring grind interesting. Most tech jobs are boring drudgery building pointless shit that doesn't advance humanity in any capacity.

What exactly is the draw to silicon valley? I don't get it. Do people like constant cut throat competition and insane rent?

Drugs make life more enjoyable.

the money. my brother keeps trying to convince me to get a job in the bay like him.

If you have an accident at work and they find THC in your system, your workplace's insurance won't cover you and you'll get fired.

Marijuana is a plant, THC is a drug.
Marijuana tends to contain significant amounts of a drug called THC.

I dont even do those

What fucking good is the money if you give it all away for rent?

yes really. The drug is 100% located inside the plant, all that happens is its concentrated. People in columbia buy raw cocaine leaves in gas stations or pick them from fields to chew on to give them energy. As I said here the concept behind it really isn't that different from making weed concentrates like shatter, oil, etc, its just that the resulting drug is way stronger, more dangerous and more additive.

The process to make heroin is a little more complicated, but the one to make morphine is piss easy and basically just involves boiling opium with ammonia. Hell, you can smoke raw opium and get high as all fuck from it.

Just because something is a plant doesn't mean its automatically good for you. The whole "natural is best" argument is buttfuck retarded, I can think of lots of plants/fungi that will kill you very easily.

Opium and cocaine aren't plants but they do exist in plants.
Opium is harvested by the Poppy plant and Cocaine by the Cocoa leaf.

Tobacco isn't a drug, either; nicotine is.

naw that's not true because its impossible to prove when the THC was put into your system since it stays for so long compared to other drugs. My company doesn't drug test for WCB claims or for new hires either

Opium is a plant, and can be smoked as soon as it's dried. The Chinese smoked unaltered opium for thousands of years, dolt. It just so happens you can concentrate opium into morphine or heroin.
As for cocaine, the coca plant is hit with an acid or solvent wash, the extraction is collected and made into a paste, which is then purified. That's it. That's less steps than coffee.

>naw that's not true because its impossible to prove when the THC was put into your system since it stays for so long
They assume you were high when you had the accident. I used to work in IT at a chain of car dealerships. One of the stoner detail slaves backed a $90k Range Rover into another $90k Range Rover and as soon as they drug tested him for insurance and found the THC he was gone.

>opium is a plant
Where can I find a picture of one?

>Opium (poppy tears, with the scientific name: Lachryma papaveris) is the dried latex obtained from the opium poppy (scientific name: Papaver somniferum)

>MXE
Yeah, I also don't do experimental drugs. Good luck with those undocumented side effects

>arguing semantics
go tip your fedora somewhere else. Under that logic marijuana isn't a plant either but the flower of the plant. And fucking lol, opium is the paste inside the seeds of the poppy plant and cocaine comes from coca plants not fucking cocoa. The plant that made pablo escobar rich is not the same plant that is used to make chocolate bars.

Quit talking about things you obviously have no clue about

They're called opium poppies, you should lrn2searchengine

well I know for a fact that's not how it works here because I dont live in a fascist shithole country.

>I'm wrong so I'll just cry semantics
Also marijuana isn't the flower of the plant, it's a bud that can drop off and grow on its own. That's why marijuana is called weed. By your "logic," all of Earth is a drug because if you consume entire planet you're also going to be consuming drugs just like with your plants.

>argument involves plants where extensive chemical procedures are taken to produce a byproduct for the purposes of intoxication
Opium latex to any number of opioids requires virtually no work. You can even keep it as opium and do no work at all, as naturally produced as THC.
