Noone can be legally punished (for the drug)because they cannot prove they have induced LSD into their system; spinal taps are the only possible way to detect the acid and are illegal (to my understanding).
I had never injected heroin- heroin is actually the drug I have done the least. I started out smoking crank once or twice a week in the ninth grade (after pot and trying acid in the eighth grade), and after about six months had moved up to every other day. My friends and I would steal money from our parents almost every day, and also pawn stuff for money, or sell drugs to kids who didn't know how much they were supposed to get or something. Before long we had our own little enterprising system of keeping a steady income of drugs, and had moved up to doing grams of cocaine a day. I was introduced to glass (methamphetamine), and knew someone who would get tons of it (not literally) to sell, and he would always give me some for selling it for him. I never injected this, either; I usually smoked it. After a while I started doing something called "hotrails", where I would use a blow torch to heat up a glass tube, and then sniff a "line" through the glass tube. What it did, was melt the drug as it went up the tube, and it would hit your nasal passage as a boiling hot liquid- but the heat would cook it and also cause it to smoke, so you inhaled smoke during the process (smoking cased your buzz to increase the fastest- the actice drugs go directly from your lungs into your blood stream carried on hemoglobins with the oxygen). It was painful, but strangely addictive.
You are right, I have no idea what stockholm syndrome means. I didn't think that it caused you to lie about abuse though. So are you saying it like creates a defense mechanism to care about your "captors" so you don't get abused by them?
"Regarding the idea that tough treatment is necessary to get to the top, ever hear of George W. Bush? Not that I personally think he should rightfully be there, but it's simply not true that only people who have been through really tough times make it big. In fact, the people who have been through the worst of things are often stunted by their experience and do not achieve as much as they would have done if they didn't have to spend so much time recovering from the toughness-"
I took this from your message. I suggest you read Wayne W. Dyers line of books. How well we manage our emotions, and how long it takes to deal with them, is entirely up to us. I believe in it. I think we all can be stronger once we have fallen, and learned to pick ourselves up.
As far as the independent study went- like I said, it was a lot harder for the first month or so not having any instruction. Right now I am a sophomore and an engineering major, but I am applying to have my major switched to biochemistry. I have taken multi-variable calculus (four semesters of calc total), two years of physics, organic chemistry, applied statistics... I think that the time when I learn and understand the MOST of what I am studying, is when I take the book home, and go through and study it. At dundee, it took most of us a while (even kids who were bright and excelled academically) to adjust to self study, but we always had a teacher that we could go to if we needed any assistance.
