Do you remember single events in your life that changed you drastically?

To test out my theories....you would need 2 things

1. limit your use to once and only once a week.

2. you need to be doing rigorous learning daily. such as having a diffiucult major in college.

Let me just put it this way. I started smoking at about the time I got obsessed super serious about school. I feel mj has aided in brain development. I still stand by my theory. Perhaps thc plays some kind of role in initiating some chain of events that helps the brain to be more elastic.

in case you didnt see my second post on the subject. I also feel it can somehow encourage the brain to start acting as one unit, and become 1 integrated unit rather than a bunch of pieces.

and more. I feel it has taught me how to unlock the power of the so called "right brain thinking"

and not only connectivity neuron to neuron, but integration of the brain as a whole.

No I saw that second post. I'm still a little fuzzy about what you're saying though.

I understand the right brain thinking. I'm right brain dominant myself.

But I don't understand what you mean by the brain as one whole unit. So you mean regions of the brain that control sight or something would be connected to regions of the brain that control hunger? What would the advantage of that be?
I just don't get it.

And thanks for clearing up the braincells, I was just basing that on the fact that when I use to smoke daily, my memory was shot to shit. I'd misplace my keys, forget assignments, be less talkative, so no matter what anyone say based on my own experience the crap kills brain cells.
But I have no idea what you mean by an integration of the brain.

So if I was shot in the head instead of losing one function, (depending on the region of the brain) I could lose them all cause they were "integrated"? ..

This one is tough to articulate, let me get at it tomarrow. I will try and think of an example that makes sense.

When I mean everything connected, I think I meant mostly cortex, not lower level brain functioning areas. "everything" was a really bad choice of words......But I think I mean everything like cortex wise....so like memory and problem solving etc etc.

Let me stew on this overnight, it will probably keep me up all night, and I will get back to ya tomarrow.

heres a few

1.found marijuana in my dads draw when i was 12 (had no idea what it was), took 1 bud, showed it to my mate, he cut it up n we smoked it,
MY FIRST THOUGHTS "hey this smells like my dad on a friday night'

2. found a dildo in my mums draw when i was 14

3. before i went out with mates one night, found a box of mints in garage, swallowed 1, sucked on other and tasted like shit, had a look at the thing and realised thier was a superman logo on it, went out with mate, and danced allllllllllllll NIGHT long

4.grandfathers death, was day i started dieting, went from fat to fit i think is the saying, now muscly lol

5. NIGHT i feel in love with my girlfriend, both of us popped and were pinging, lying in the back of my 4WD that was parked over a cliff facing mountins (as a view) with boot open, with stereo system turned up real loud with a light trance song playing 'In the Dark' by dj tiesto
stared into her eyes and feel in love

6. 5 best mates i grew up with went to jail for murder, happened to murder the guy 1 hour after i left them to go home,

thiers more but i think thats enough

**Matt** · 08-10-2009, 05:45 AM

There was this one time at band camp, God appeared infront of me and told me i was the choosen one...

**Flagg** · 08-10-2009, 07:06 AM

1)Travelling the world a few years back changed me. It was a real eye opener and the fact I was travelling alone toughened me up and made me outgoing, something I never was during my teenage years. It really was a journey of self discovery and I went to some brilliant places and met a lot of brilliant people.

2) Discovering weight training and bodybuilding. Being amazed that I could turn into a big looking bastard.

3) Falling head over heels for a particular girl really changed me. A side of me appeared I never thought possible, genuine love, happiness, wanting to make someone happy. Thinking I was going to be with this person forever.

4) Breaking up with the person in number 3). I went into a really dark place after that. I became a very angry and depressed person.

5) Going back into education and going to University. I left school at the age of 16 and decided that getting a shitty job at the time and earning money was more important than further education which is what a lot of my mates was doing. 4 years later they've all graduated and got awesome jobs. Then I realised that what I was doing really ****ing sucked. That's when I decided to go travelling and see the world. After travelling, I started bodybuilding and met the girl of my dreams as mentioned earlier. Then I lost her and after a long time of depression, a good 18 months, I suddenly realised that there was three major things in my life affecting me in a bad way. My broken relationship, my shit job and my parents. Going to University eliminated all three of those things and it turned me into what I call a "Born again Optimist!". It's funny but all 5 points are intertwined with each other.

**Dukkit** · 08-10-2009, 07:29 AM

18 - jail for first time
20 - jail for second time
20 - jail for third time
21 - jail for fourth time

-in between jail bids. got heavily into doing and dealing drugs.
-sold drugs to a close friend... who one night OD'd and died off of the drugs i had sold him.

-finding this website after 3rd time in jail. started to get on track and into weight lifting and the lifestyle

-realizing that just cuz my mom wasnt part of my childhood. doesnt mean that she cant be part of the rest of my life. and now i know shes the best thing in it.

-having to go to driving safety classes and coming across photos of one of my best high school friends who had died in a Drunk accident. his car was wrapped around a telephone pole. his body was too. those pics really shook me up. saw them 6 years after he died and i was more devasted at that time then when he actually passed away.

-realizing that i cannot ask everyone for forgiveness that i have wronged... but the fact that im sorry will have to suffice.

i didnt realize the number of people on here whove had a serious drug addiction. correlation?

**irish_2003** · 08-10-2009, 12:30 PM

steroids saved my life......the periods of time i've been dedicated to gear and training, i've been able to live a clean life away from coke and ecstacy.....

**energizer bunny** · 08-10-2009, 12:41 PM

were im from drugs are allways in use...ive never been a drug addict in terms of how average joe sees drug users...i.e all robbing bastards.....ive allways took drugs as part of social life....since 13 and will always do so to some extent....IMO the worst drug out there is Alchol.

dont get me wrong ive seen people go down hill on drugs but ive seen more waste away on alchol.

I can completely agree and say I have walked in the same shoes.

Say the average person "becomes" an adult at 18. By becomes I don't mean just turn a biological birthday, I mean he/she had to move out on thier own.
Alright, perhaps some sooner, I have been on my own since 17.

In the course of 20 years old adulthood I can say for sure 90%+ of persons regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age or disability do become exposed to illicits and/or alcohol.

I can fully agree alcohol addiction for sure IMHO does more damage to society than any other chemical.

In conclusion, the correlation between humanity and chemical use is none discriminatory its not just AAS users... its regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age or disability... unfortunately

**energizer bunny** · 08-10-2009, 02:24 PM

it was allways alot easier for me to score drugs when growing up...than to get alchol and cigaretes.....

i think all drugs should be legalised....im not going to have a debate on this thread with anyone.. because tha will not be on topic

**ranging1** · 08-12-2009, 04:26 AM

i agree cant believe how many people had drug issues ont his board

but then again, since steroids are perceived in most societies as bad as drugs, doesnt suprise me that alot of people in this forum use recreational drugs, i mean come on u used steroids knowing how people perceive them, drugs is just another part of the list

yes i use drugs to relax, not bragging on you guys, just find it ironic

**ghettoboyd** · 08-12-2009, 06:22 AM

after not comming home for 2 days after a crazy drug filled bender and my wife calling me out with an ultimatum. it was then i realized that i missed the first 5 years of my daughters life. i may have changed like 5 diapers that whole time. i was a bad dad and even worse husband. i was going throug a half oz of somthing i thought smelled real good a day and just blowing everything....my money my marriage,my buissness my life. the fight we had that night really changed my perspective on life. evrything has changed seince that night.........i quit cold turkey......found bbing......got my marriage back on track......and spend as much free time with my daughter as i can to make up for lost time.......things have never been better. we are all very happy........its tru what thay say about money though, it changes some peeps. had i not been wealthy at that time i probably would have never got involved with the drug. at least not to that extent. i am now poor and humbled but happy......
