I know a priest who´s deep into crack. He says it "makes it easier to speak to God". Makes sense. Crackheads die young, so OF COURSE their talks with God will come sooner than expected.

Ganga once in a while is less tough on your body than alcohol is. Probably isn't tough at all -- unless you smoke it all the time. Which becomes bad for your lungs, like cigarettes. Not to mention your mental accuity.

Ecstasy can be used in moderation by most people with no addiction and no bad lasting effects. (But it can certainly also be abused, with at least psychological addiction.)

The hard stuff --- crack is just REALLY hard to not get totally hooked to if you use it AT ALL. Heroin only a little less so, even if "only" sniffed or smoked. It grabs an addiction pretty damn fast. If you don't stay way from these you are a fool, and you're throwing your life away, or long long portion of it. Injected anything is seriously bad news of course. It's possible to use powdered cocaine in moderation, but its pretty damn addiction dangerous. And expensive.

Getting drunk or black out drunk all the time is one of the tougher things to do to your body. But obviously a large majority of the country can and does sometimes drink without becoming alchoholics. Though there are a lot of alcoholics out there, for sure.

Kimi - just observing

Thanks for saying that.

I've done enough reading about behind the scenes to absolutely know what you said was true. But I also didn't figure that my saying it would hold much weight, at least without my going through an evidentiary song and dance. Which I didn't feel like doing, and kicking up the dust again.

Esp. after what Lee said. Which while it may be true about HIS group of closer friends in the biz., also did seem rather like a whitewash in what he was more or less implying. (Sorry Lee.)

Honesty and forthrightness is refreshing!!!

Of course it's pretty common in mainstream Hollywood as well. But I don't think nearly as much so, or much more importantly to the excesses, as in porn. (You'll just have to star in some mainstream films Kimi, and give as an eyewitness, honest report!!!) A significant percentage of porn girls seem to really wreck themselves.

For the record, I've never done any drug on a regular basis. I did go through a cautiously experimental phase. But I'm not totally abstemious about soft stuff necessarily.

BTW, are you back in Cleveland now, or still on the *wicked* Coast?

That being said I stick by my earlier statement in regards to the women I know. As I stated before I tend to not like being around drug use so when I see it I find somewhere else to be. To the person doing the drugs I will be polite in the future but that will be about it.

Now why didn't I say this earlier? Well I am an optomist. In that I hope there aren't as many people who do drugs as there is in other professions.

In the 8 years I spent in CA (5 northern, 3+ southern) I saw a ton of drugs. In my limited experiences, drug use seemed more of a casual affair in CA than say New England.

Your post made me think a bit..
I wonder if it's not neccessary the porn industry itself, but maybe the mindset of liberalism that leads to more recreational drug use.

I mean you must admit to have sex on camera for others to watch and enjoy you need an open mind. And to work on such a production you'd need an open mind as well.

I'm theorising as I go of course, but it's just been my experience that people that are "on the edge of normalicy" in any way, be it tattoos and piercings, pornography or something else, are more apt to experiment and accept the idea of drug use.

Not that that's always a bad thing
