  • @AWSKAR Define 'self-prescribed'.

  • I have met a few kids who have done drugs and heaps that smoke, I'm 15 and they are younger and older, a wide range. While I won't be around them smoking and drinking as long as I can't smell it on them an they are in good health i won't judge. Also drugs are a bad thing true but strong people take them sometimes too. One girl I met was an abused girl living in fostercare taking drugs and she was the one of the nicest and toughest girls I had met in a long time.

  • @xDEMONIZEDx Yeah, I don't know everything that's afflicting people, but I also didn't compare their lives to mine. Maybe I do have acceptance issues, but they stem from not wanting to be around those who are (literally and figuratively) toxic to both themselves and others. Here's what it comes down to: People who are truly strong don't need chemicals. I'm not gonna say anything about medicinal uses, because that is a valid reason, but you'll notice that those are prescribed, not taken illegaly.

  • @kagari616 What about self prescribed medicinal drugs?

  • @115xxxCeReAlKi11eRxx Haha, I don't think he was vegan at the time. Love that song.

    As for the edge discussion: I defy anyone here to tell me what the point of drug use is. Why in the FUCK would anybody shove tar and nicotine and fucking shit down their throat for 'fun'? Are you fucking retarded? What's the positive in shoving weird shit into your nose and injecting yourself daily for a quick rush? Were y'all dropped on your fucking heads as children?

  • @kagari616 well i think cigs mostly start as peer pressure, then become habitual. as for drugs, a lot of times people try to take the easy way out of their problems and drugs are a way to do that. it doesn't solve your problems, but it can put them on hold for a bit. stop judging drug addicts and start trying to help them deal with their problems in a more positive way.

  • @kagari616 It's called addiction. I ask you this question: why do you have to label yourself as Straight Edge? Why can't you just make a commitment to live your life drug free without adding the label to it? I was straight edge for years, and that was one question I often came back to. There are health benefits to many drugs. Guinness, a beer, contains iron, polysaccharides, fish oils, and protein; the good out weighs any temporary bad effect.

  • @kagari616 Also, most addicts are also afflicted with other mental disorders, and many can't find or afford the help that they need. As a result, they self-medicate. What I love about most straight edge kids, yes kids, is that they believe everyone is privvy to the same sort of environment that many of them grew up in. Abusive parents don't pay for counseling typically. As a result there are people running around with, maybe several, mental disorders and have no way around it but to get high.

  • @kagari616 On a similar note; some psychoactives are linked to the controlling of some forms of distress. Cluster headaches are being treated currently with psychoactive drugs, which seems to be the only effective treatment. Cluster headaches are described by some doctors as being the most painful experience in known medicine, some say several times worse than child birth. Perhaps if you were a victim of cluster headaches, you would feel differently.

  • @kagari616 My main point is this: unless you know everything afflicting a single person, don't attempt to liken their situation to yours. Also, don't think for a second that because you're straight edge that eliminates you from the "worthless sack of shit" category. Many of the kids that I met in that scene were the biggest piles of shit that I have every come across. Also, most of them are doing dick shit with their lives. You clearly have some serious acceptance issues.

  • If Davey is a vegan; why'd he write a song about chicken?

  • i do drugs.....i drink alcohol

  • @remcomater336

    so, you're stupid, and you'll go down earlier than you think.

  • @Loix78 I don't do drugs but I drink, i mean alcohol is also a drug

  • @remcomater336

    If you think alcohol is a drug, why did you tell me that you don't do drugs ?

  • @Loix78 alcohol has the same effect as a drug, and I only drink alcohol.....

  • Im not straight edge but, Ive never done drugs, smoked, or drank alcohol and I don`t plan too in the future. I definitely don`t feel isolated. I have many friends.When I went vegetarian everybody encouraged me. Im considering being straight edge for the best of myself. like Davey and Jade said, I don`t care what other people do as long as it dosen`t affect me.

  • I love how you fucking straight edge morons strategically delete the comments i post because i am right. You should all go paint some black x's on your hands and have a loser orgy in urkles closet.

  • @AnonymousGreen1 ok man whatever.....go get stoned

  • @xSergioRottenx sorry that you cant do harmless substances without becoming addicted or dulled you must have no self control thus why you don't do "drugs" and as i said before if you eat any sugar or drink coffee or take any sort of pill you are a hypocrite ;)

  • @AnonymousGreen1 if you use drugs it´s ok, it´s you're life, but I don´t think tahat being stones is another "reality", reality is what you live now, without any stimulant in your body....but it's the way I live, so be respectfull because I don´t throw you shit about how you live your life

  • Drugs < Hugs

  • They did a nice vegan video davey and hunter, meatvideo (dot) com and look up afi's meat is murder clip.

  • He is such an inspiration. Lova ya Davey!

  • Ive never pressured anyone into doing drugs, nor do I make fun of them, I respect people who choose to live clean, because it takes will and strenght of mind. I respect your choice of lifestyle and I expect the same from you,

    Long live AFI !!!

  • @LongviewGD182 Are you blindly implying that "drug" users are not strong? your an idiot..

  • Wow at the amount of ignorance in the comments. You people disgust me. You constantly bitch about how ppl make fun of you for being sxe, yet you treat stoners and drug-users with no respect, calling them idiots, wastes, druggies or w/e. You dont need to be self-righteous jerks. If done right, drugs can be a wonderful thing. Get your heads out of your asses for just 1 second.

    This post will be continued, coz youtube sucks

  • I've drunk a lot (and other stuff) when I was a young teenage, but I sayed "No more" and I did, and I've Straight Edge!!! Best decision EVER!!!

  • lol i drink, & i smoke bud. i dont want to start on the hard drugs. props to the straightedge kids. but seriously guys, fuck you, not all of the people who choose to do drugs are idiots. Stop being so fucking judgemental. some of the most relaxed & interesting people smoke pot. people are so critical of mary jane its stupid, educate yourselves before you talk shit :l seriously.

  • @GumBeatingTV not all straight edge are judgmental, I've been straightedge since I was 14 and my best friend likes to drink and smoke weed, and I don't feel the need to judge people for how they live. : )

  • @TheDespairFactor6 then your a fucking BOSS. :T i know there are some straightedge kids who judge people like me, and it sucks, i just wish people were less judgemental!

  • @GumBeatingTV I absolutely agree with you. I've had alot of people judging me and hating on me. I'm sure alot of people have I don't understand why anyone would wna t to do that to someone else. dude I think if you're living your life the way you want, fuck what other people think. have a drink for me lol :P

  • STRAIGHT EDGE SUCKS!!

  • STRAIGHT EDGE SUCKS!!

  • People should do their research. A lot of drugs aren't damaging to your body, or at least not as damaging to you as they may seem at first. There are actually a lot of benefits to using substances. Not to say that there aren't dangers, especially with opiates and some (but not all) stimulants... but I just think you should educate yourself before you say hell yes to all drugs or hell no to all drugs. Nothing is completely all good or completely all bad.

  • @mercurial0007 im pretty sure davey has done his research considering he appears to be very educated, and People don't do drugs, just because they find it wrong, and don't want to do it, I don't I never have and never will, I live clean, and i'll stay clean, straight edge for life.

  • You start off doing drugs, then the drugs end up doing you. SXE

  • someone needs to knock him off his high horse

  • DO drugs!!!

    

  • I've been straight edge for basically my entire life; and I don't plan to change that.

  • Davey Havok is my FUCKING IDOL .....I look up to him....(in a female version though)

  • being straight edge is great. but experienceing life is better go ahead try it if you like it keep it if you dont dont thats all it comes down to

    

  • @TheKiveen

    Yeah guys! Go ahead! If you try cocaine and like it, keep doing it! Or maybe if your try meth and like it, keep doing that too! -__- You don't have to "experience" life by doing drugs. There is so much more to life than mind altering substances. Not to mention you're killing yourself slowly. If you have to resort to those kind of things, then something else is wrong in your life. People who use drugs usually don't just do them for "fun" or "experience". Respect yourself.

  • @xShelboTronx I respect myself, it's my choice to drink, just as it's their choice not to, I don't agree with a lot of what this band believes in, but I have tattoo's dedicated to their music, and what it means to me, it will never make me less of a person because I drink, and they don't. People need to learn to seperate the music from their personal beliefs, we're all going to die in the end, "slowly" no matter what we do in between, just enjoy life however you feel fit.

  • Today at my school people were talking about getting high and how great it is. in this whole group of people, i was the only one who disagreed. am i the "loser"? not at all in my eyes. sadly, i talk to these people a lot and the fact that they just made the decision to be cool sickens me. i swear on my life that i'll never try any drug and whatnot. its not a pledge to be distant, its a pledge to be smart.

  • ...alcohol is a toxin, a poison

  • Yay there nit gonna die quicker yay whoo hoo

  • Glad I found this video, I've always wondered what it must be like being straight edge in the dance music community. Davey sure isn't lying on his emphasis of EVERYONE. It's gotta be really weird but hey, that just means more for the rest of us, lol! I tried being straight edge for a while but it quickly became apparent that I'm a much better person with a couple drinks in me. If they can still have fun at clubs fueled only by water, more power to them.

  • I'm gonna feel stupid for asking this.. but what is straight edge? I was reading about it on AFI's videos and so I typed it in and got this, which didn't really answer my question. Can someone help me out here?

  • @stereolove21 It means not using drugs, tobacco, or alcohol.

  • @stereolove21 it means you don't use drugs, drink alcohol, smoke, have recreational sex, and in extreme cases drink coffee

  • @stereolove21 that's why google exists.

  • @stereolove21 To add to (saintjimmy924) it's also not having sex; If the person wants to be totally truthful to what straight edge is. You can still live a completely healthy life while consuming a few alcoholic drinks like a responsible adult. Plus sex is apart of life, those who think it isn't, aren't realistic. There are very few "Real" straight edge people; most are just pretentious people who like the label or want to feel as though they're better than everyone else.

  • @stereolove21 straight edge means you're a person that goes against religion,politics,drugs,alcoho­l,corporativism,tobacco,false stereotypes of todays youth,consumerism,and often stands for animal rights and veganism,is being a more conscious ,and a less nihistic punk,people think that being straight edge only stands for rejecting Alcohol and illegal drugs,but they're wrong

  • @WorldEnslaved I meant nihilistic,word whoops

  • @WorldEnslaved I disagree, you don't have to reject everything in society, just the things that are destructive, and that is different for everyone. Politics is a necessary platform in which things get done in this country, I think people confuse politics with politicians. People corrupt, that doesn't make the system corrupt. Drugs and alcohol receive more focus, mainly because they have no real purpose in life. People use it as an escape instead of focusing on their real problems.

  • Comment removed

  • @stereolove21 youre an idiot. watch lady gaga videos, keep out of the scene

  • @stereolove21 Listen to "Out Of Step" by Minor Threat. It's [literally] the definitive straight-edge song

  • @SerratedSmiles but listen to the 2nd version of out of step, because the first one was misonderstood by many assholes, so Ian re-recorded it to put things clear

  • @stereolove21 /watch?v=_cqCRNSgudE&feature=g­-u-u&context=G2fcb9c6FUAAAAAAA­KAA

    Consider yourself helped ^.^

  • @stereolove21 All that and No promiscuous sex

  • @stereolove21 The good life (Drug Free, Alcohal Free)

  • Jade said it best in very few words.

    (I'll drink to that! lol)

  • I didn't know Jade was straight edge. More respect for him as of this day.

  • @Fallen80sChild Same here. My school is full of stoners and druggies and all they talk about is doing drugs. I may be an "outsider" but at least I know I'm not risking my future just for a quick high.

  • @AmericanPrincess109 go fuck your pussy vegan friend

  • @AmericanPrincess109 around where I live it's the exact opposite. Everyone's edge and if you drink at all you're seen as an abomination.

  • So odd... Because I face shit everyday for being straight edge.. even more for being vegan.. I guess the times have just changed and everyone in our generation IS completely retarded. xD

  • @Fallen80sChild pussy

  • Respond to this video...  pussy ass vegan

  • @Fallen80sChild Why vegan?

  • @Fallen80sChild funny, im straight edge but i have it easy with druggies and drunkies (if you want to call them that)

    i dont get shit for being straight edge even when they offer me

    a few of my friends do drugs, not people i hang out with but people i could have a fun chat with

    i think you should just be proud of it and not emphasize it too much kinda how a poser pothead lets everyone know he smokes pot

    either that or my school is really liberal

    i live in los angeles

  • Very well said

  • haha....EVERYBODY!......EVERYB­ODY!
