^ Escaping into fantasy worlds is less about "enhancing your life with illusions" than escaping into the real world? I guess...

I don't smoke. Never tried, never will.

I don't drink. Simply because I hate bubbles lol

So you think people play videogames, read books and watch movies to "escape"?

Just to forget something bad for a while. In other word to remove stress.

Fine, replace "escaping" with "enhancing".  Enhancing your life with fantasy worlds is less about, "enhancing your life with illusions," than enhancing your life with the real world?  I guess...

Well, no matter how you twist it, there is still a considerable difference. One is storytelling and activity that are fun in your natural state of mind, whereas the the other becomes fun by kicking your brain over and over again.

The closest thing I have ever come to something like being drunk or high, is being really tired and reaching the point where your mind goes into overdrive. But I'm still prefectly aware of my surroundings in that state, your body just gives you an energy boost.

I dunno man sleep deprivation can make you seem like you are stoned out of your mind, and after a few days you start hearing things.

Am I the only one but beer smells so bad!! The smell itself is disgusting. I'm under age of course but if it smells bad i just wonder how bad it taste. Plus why do you want to drink something that risks your health and your mentality.

I'm Muslim.

This should answer your question.

Drinking socially and being able to handle yourself is just part of adulthood in the west, so I do that. Also smoke weed occasionally but i'm not a druggie by identity, i dont make weed a big part of myself. I also take steroids and am going to see a plastic surgeon because I've taken too many cycles of bad product this has been the only negative effect on me, having moobs blows. My mom was over the other day and I came out of the shower w/out my shirt on, and she turned away when she saw me lol !! damn i need to get these shrunk down fast
