I'm not into really fast bikes because I'm a big puss. I'm too afraid of dying. I did love abusing heroin though. Most drugs, really, but opiates were my soft spot. I taste heroin right now, just from thinking about it. Jonesing for adrenaline and dopamine are probably both just as miserable. I never got off on adrenaline unless it was associated with obtaining the drug. Obtaining sex and cool-status could be similar ways to get the dopamine from riding huh. Plus the love of bikes is a buzz in itself and I see that everyday. Healthy addiction compared to what else is out there to play with.
another 1,
I'm thinking that taking heroin needs courage, considering the eventual consequences. I know a guy who used to have a 'crossover'. This is when others inject heroin into one of his arms and cocaine into the other one at the same time! Years later the guy is a mess, with all kinds of organ damage and emphysema. He talks about his drug taking days with love.
I'm too fond of the booze, but I tell myself that, given a stark choice, I would choose to keep the bikes in my life over the booze. It would mean drinking a lot of coffee!

PS - On the drugs thing, I sometimes take an over the counter Cocodamol just to take the edge off. I can definitely feel it after half an hour of dropping two tablets. Its not possible to take a larger dose than recommended because of the Paracetamol in there.
I think they called Cocodamol some other street name. Can't remember, but yeah. that sounds dangerous. There was a fad called triple-c back in the day. That may have been it. As for riding, I should have picked up on it early in life. I rebelled against anything my parents did. My Dad rode, and I had no idea how awesome it actually was. I liked dirt bikes and stuff like that but big bikes don't feel right to me. I made a major wrong choice between bikes and drugs, but I suppose it was made
for me, very early in life.
Speaking of speedball, that is intense. Better to get out of the way when you're young. Wit my medical history it would kill me at age 41. Booting some dope hours after the coke, sure. I'd do that if I inherited some more money someday. So many famous writers thrived on speedballing. More than just writers. Founders of thought engines we rely on every day. Psychology especially, huh.
Good idea switching to coffee. While bikes and booze were (I now clearly see) the best choice I could have made, like I said, I tasted the good stuff when I was a lil kid and I never outgrew it until I learned drugs for myself and found ways to cure pretty much anything that ails me. I may even have a cocktail that will allow the apprehension of God itself. Only problem is that most people become lazy, societal dropouts when they see through the lens of psychedelics. The inconsequentiality of everything is overwhelming at times because psychedelics are a moody animal. Blame that on the snuffing of psychedelic research in psychology I suppose. We'd have tamed it by now, hadn't the research been snuffed overnight.
As far as courage goes, considering heron, I feel it is a cowardly act overall. Elephant tranquilizer is flooding the east coast. You'd have to be a fool to use any of the stuff floating out here from those corner-cutting cartels. Carfentanil feels nothing like heroin, but these redneck dumbasses eat it up and DIE by the dozens daily - in my city alone. If you're going to use heroin, use real heroin, dispose of used needles and be tidy. It can actually prolong your life if used properly... studies say, anyway. The adulteration is a direct result of illegality. Thousands die a year for a law that incarcerates even more than it kills - for no logical reason.
People out there wanna die. Sad truth is that a lot of them do. If they want to die using a drug, why not make it legal for them to do so? Using it illegally causes them to destroy everyone around them. Compare it to handing an uzi to a suicidal person in a room full of people. Why not let them walk quietly into the woods with a blade? They're going to die anyway. Why take so many innocent people through the hell their addiction causes?
Buy them a dirtbike at age 9 and I bet their chances of getting junked out lowers significantly. A drum Set? SOMETHING besides the empty internet and the doom it invokes in the minds of the young. There are so many reasons people become hooked on stuff. The coming generation is going to have it really rough I fear.
