    You discover that you have a terminal illness and have only six months left to live.

    Would you do drugs in this kind of scenario?

    I've always thought that only getting morphine during the last minutes of your life seems like a waste.

    Reasoning: The dopamine/endorphins released in your brain after taking methamphetamines, for example, are 350% stronger than the best feeling of happiness you've ever felt naturally. And six months is hardly enough time for the long-term neurological damage to set in.

    Hell no! No matter what is happening to me through that period of six months, I sure as hell won't do any drugs. There are other enjoyable things you could do in six months and plus I wouldn't want to go into the grave known to be an active drug user.

    Yes I’d do drugs if I was dying for a few weeks then kill my enemies

    Probably would try psychedelics once but not like heroin or crack or anything super addictive. Heard its helped people spiritually weirdly enough and would wanna see what they mean before I die.

    Dont really see a reason to start coke just because I'm dying.

    No, knowing that I’m gonna isn’t gonna switch my perception of drugs. It’s gonna worsen it since I know that I only have a limited amount of time I don’t want to use it doing something like drugs since I could use that to do something I really love

    No.

    There are plenty of other things I could do. Neither does the six month prognosis have to be accurate; I could die far earlier than forecasted, or I could live far longer than anyone expected.

    Well, to be honest. I’ve never did anything bad. The worse I’ve ever done is get drunk once and once was enough. I have been thinking of using Marijuana. Since it’s legal here, but I just haven’t found the right moment.
    But if I had to choose an action to go all out in. I’d probably try to hookup with a bunch of women and go for broke. Lol, but that’s me

    Opiates in case of tremendous chronic pain, but that's really it.

    Living the last bit of your life in a fake cloud of happiness seems a bit sad, no?

    I would plan and blow up the Parlament in my country with all politicians inside. Corrupt, all of them (Chile, soon to be ANOTHER Venezuela level of poverty)

    I would buy a lot of expensive scotch, bourbon, cognac, etc. and enjoy it

    Nah, I'd rather play games or read novels. You can't do that with a drug-addled brain.

    No. I’d rather spend time with the people I love as lucidly as possible, make sure they’re all set and taken care of, make sure my funeral’s arranged for, make sure any of my Nuffian friends and family can join the funeral via zoom if they want to, go out and have a fun vacation, maybe see if there’s some terminal wish program for adults that would allow me to have an interview with Tetsuya Nomura to find out secrets about Kingdom Hearts. There’s so much to do without wasting it on time being in la-la land.

    No, you need money to buy drugs, I rather spend my money to buy everything (i meant food, i live in a place where there is only one mcd in the entire state, so we don't have much food choices) i wanted before, like taco bell, though it is like 6-7hours journey from where i am,

    Lets not talk about all the sushi place i haven't been..
    I shouldn't be answering this question while I'm hungry :blobdrool:

    I feel like trying to lose touch with reality and choosing to drown in such ‘happiness’ would be a manner of death that’s overly sad for my liking...
