I keep on telling myself to stop posting in this thread but I cant..
Special clarification because I dont think its really been explained..
Straight edge is a lifetime commitment to abstain from drugs and alcohol. You can only be straight edge once. once you "break edge" thats it theres no second round.. The distinction/label comes from punk and hardcore scene. outside of that it is pretty much nonsense to the rest of the world. without punk/hardcore there is no straight edge.

It's definately not something that can be summed up in one post or even one thread. There's a pretty good book on it called All Ages. I'm not sure if it's still in print.

No, I've known a couple other people that have had the same effects from vicodin. It's not fun, especially the nightmares. I can safely say it had nothing to do with the surgery.

Thats all part of the fun.. lol. j/k
I know these nightmares. A few years ago I had my tonsils removed and was prescribed liquid codeine. After about 2-3 weeks of constant use I finally had this terrible series of nightmares, then I knew it was time to take it easy on the codeine.
One dream started with a theme resturaunt style theme park where a cowboy guided me thru a mountain forest while chased by demon bores (?).. then to the dungeon of a castle, walls covered in yellow waxy drippy oily liquid (that resembled the codeine I was drinking) that made me slide 10 stories to the bottom where I was trapped and nibbled at by the park owners 12 greek children. very scary shit.. scared me sober.. haha.

Thanks Kirkland...I hate jocks!!! However I was in the varsity football and wrestling teams in High School. I was kinda an outcast from those guys though as I would show up to practice with a Millions of Dead Cops or Black Flag shirt and a mohawk and shit like that.
Also I have been talking Jui-Jitsu(8 years) and doing shoot fighting(3 years) and have competed in about 5 MMA matches here in San Diego. I'm at 225 lbs so I fight in a heavyweight class. I still train but I no longer fight because I am a supervisor where I work and my store manager didn't like it when I would come to work with bruises and shit on my face or/and head!

Just out of curiosity, what makes ibuprofen ok to take but not vicodin? After all they are essentially the same thing.

Vicodin is a synthetic Opiate combined with generic Tylenol and Ibuprofen is just Ibuprofen.
I'm so far from straight edge its rediculous so no comment on the rest.
