(1) Don't build a time machine. Never mind the paradox hazard. A greater danger is that you'll drive your younger self nuts with your pedantic interference. I'm already hopelessly neurotic from ignoring my own advice, or i'd have heeded my own advice instead of telling you this.
(2) ignore the fact that you only answered (1) and (2). On this forum, you can always click on the edit option if you ever think of some genuinely useful advice for (3).
(3) ...



[EDIT: (3) Keep a gun on your night-table, just in case i come back again. Shoot to kill! ]
 
1) When that hairy dude in the sunglasses offers you a case of beer to do something and adds, "trust me".........Don't!
2) When that cute girl in the unmarked police car waves at you, don't wave back. Just run like everybody else did.
3) When you are in your late teens to mid-twenties, write down everything you do, because I can't remember a damn thing during those years.
 
Then say...."Trust Me"
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
 
Educate youself as best you can #1
 
learn to deal with reality without your opinion or friends opinion getting in the way #2
 
Learn from your mistakes #3
 
#3 might be #1....
 
In general,ANYTHING that is cool or popular at any time, is most times very bad to do in the long run.
 
Unless you inhertided a ton of $ and don't need to care about anything you do as long as your Lawyers and CPA's are honest.

1) take your discharge in Japan and try your luck at teaching English.

2) if #1 doesnt work return to Japan after college and teach English.


3) (going way back) go for a masters degree or even a doctorate in writing. A higher degree will keep you more focused on your writing and enable you to reach more depth in your work. Focus on more dialog and write about subjects and cituations that pull from real experiances. The poetry is good, but with all the things you have experianced and will experiance the blank pages await.
 
1. Sleep with those girls you thought was too slutty, damn they was hot and that one was asian.. what's wrong with you.
2. No matter how mad you are don't knife your coworker during an argument. You made good money there. 
3. Meth is bad M'kay
 
meth gets a bad rap imho. victim of drug war zeal and media sensationalism. 
 
more lies are told about meth than any other drug im aware of.
 
its NOT the most addictive drug by any real definition of addiction that i know of...opioid s will always hold that distinction imo. 
 
i could go on for a while on this one.

just more bullshit from the drug warriors.
 
the first casualty in war is always the truth.
 
There is a BIG difference in Medicinal use and recreational use.
Apples and oranges.
I don't think a recreational user uses the same dose,recreational users use a lot more at a time than in medicinal use.
X amount might be what a quack prescribes,5X is what a Tweeker uses.
 
Back in the 60's a black Beauty kept you wired for a day,street stuff/powder (a paper match heads sized pile kept you going for a lot longer).
 
Both had you paranoid and crazy within a short time of dayly use.
Messed you up big time in general.
Lots of difference between shooting smack and using opiates in doses that are used according to your quacks orders.

but whats your point exactly? i dont think i mentioned medical usage of amphetamines what so ever.
 
im speaking to recreational use of methamphetamine, and how only a very very small amount of total users an addict... much smaller percent compared to opioid users. 
 
i had no idea what a black beauty was untill you mentioned it = ).
 
regarding opiate users. yes routs of administration tend to effect addiction rates as well as rates of relapse.  but again im referring to recreational users, not folks with prescriptions.
 
from what i recall, of those that identify as recreational users of heroine, something like 25% are classified as addicts. this number is  closer to 5% for meth users.

Teaching English here isn't all it's cracked up to be.
 
My point?
You say Meth is a better,less dangerous drug than Opiates.
All drugs are nasty if misused,especially Meth and Opiates.
Don't think either can hold a candle to booze though...
As far as going from recreational use to bad news.
 
I think you are wrong also about Meth being the most miss represented drug in the media.
 
Check out the stuff pro and con about pot over the years.
With pot, as like Peppers,the good old days stuff isn't anywhere near as strong as in the 60's or 70's or earlier as it is today.
 
The designer drugs on the street now are way more potent than ever before.
 
I don't know what the percentage rates are for Coke,Meth and opiates are but I'd guess they all are the top three of the most abused drugs around. after booze and nicotine.
Booze and nicotine have to be the top drugs that are the nastiest  in the long run with the most people using them.
The end result is misery when abused,no matter what drug it is.
All of them are only recreational to a user for a very short time before they become a physical or mental addiction or problem of some sort to the user.
 
In reality different drugs can be more or less addictive according to the user.
You can't blanket statement Meth or any other drug as being the worst or least hazardous or abused.
Each drug eventually has it's hayday and a new one takes it's place eventually.
 
I might be wrong but I think Meth isn't prescribed anymore.
They have other drugs that do the same thing these days.
I also think a lot of the replacement drugs are,in the long run,as nasty as what they are made to replace.
Just read about the side effects,not the same as what they are replacing but just as bad in general.
 
Also there is a thin line between recreational use and addictive use for several drugs,opiates and amphetamines.
Phenteramine is the modern day substitute for whites(amphetamine).
One is considered addictive,the other isn't.
Benzedrine was given out freely by Docs in the 70's but now isn't.
 
Rather than highjack this thread,maybe start a new one on the Hot topics forum.

im not interested in starting the thread, but by all means do it yourself. ill discuss it endlessly with you id you do.
 
they still perscribe methamphetamines, namely for ADD(desoxyn)  but also for that disorder where you fall asleep randomly( i forget the name).
 
benzedrine is still given out quite freely by doctors, though its in the form of aderall. adderall is one of the most widely prescribed scheduled drugs in america. so widly perscribed that it periodically experiances shortages in supply.
 
benzedrine was a pure racemate, while adderall is something like 70 30 dextro to levo, its however the same active ingrediant. 
 
phentermine is not a substitute for adderalls adhd/add treatment role.
