Life's been kind of 'blah' lately. Not bad, not great. I've been considering a couple of moving options, which has pissed off my friends here in Gainesville. Two people close to me have brought up the idea of moving where they are, and coincidentally, where they are happens to be is 5 hours away from each other in complete opposite directions. But if I lived in either of those places, it'd be great. I'm never home anymore, because I can't stand to be and be bored out of my mind, which pisses my parents off. This takes money, which pisses everyone, especially myself, off. I've been out of school for a week and summer b started yesterday, and oddly I wish I was going back. Although I wouldn't go back for the class I initially planned on attending. Summer semester is a disaster.. it's ridiculous that people want to kill themselves cramming 3 and a half months worth of curriculum into 6 weeks. Nuh uh.
It's after the start of July, which means salvia is officially illegal. I've never smoked it, and hallucinogens don't really appeal to me so much, but it still really bothers me. I don't understand how a psychedelic that lasts usually a few minutes can be made illegal.. especially when it's sold and taxed. It's clearly the conservative assholes in this country. I'm not even a raging liberal, I belong to a group called 'apathetic' hah, and I still can recognize that the same people fighting this are the people who believe that marijuana is exclusively a drug made for sinners. I'm not some hippie piece of shit and I'm not going to rant on medicinal uses, but why do people care so much?
I was researching salvia out of sheer curiosity, and there was one death listed on Wikipedia of all places.. In Delaware, some kid committed suicide. But I mean it's probably the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. He killed himself 4 months after doing salvia, never mentioned salvia in his suicide note, and had a drinking problem, and his parents claim it was salvia that 'made him do it'. Whatever comforts you I guess. Being suicidal is result of an imbalance, and it's blatant that salvia had nothing to do with it. I could understand if he killed himself in the 7 minutes of actually tripping. But 4 months later with no salvia in his system? In his journal, salvia drove him to a perspective of Nihilism, which I found to be funny. If you stop believing fairy tales, and look at the true big picture for what it is, anyone could be a Nihilist. Blame it on truth, not salvia. If salvia helped him see it, then that's fantastic.
Done ranting.
