Marijuana is nice.
It’s simple. You forget.
Your brain shuts down.
It doesn’t bother
Thinking about your
Failures with Her
And how they happened
or why they happened.
It’s nice.

Alcohol is the nectar of the gods.
Well, the people who want to feel like gods
You see, everyone loves you
Unlike when you’re
Sober. You’re
The life of the party, the lady killer; the
Man who everyone wants
To be:
Shots of whiskey,
Red Bull and vodka. are great
If yo=u want to get drunk
As fast as possible; be
cause you can drink them so quick
A}nd you feel so
Much better than when you
Did’nt drink them

Ecstasy is great for a few hours.
Everything is electric and warm.
You are completely happy about everything.
Who cares about Her,
When that light show is the greatest thing you’ve ever seen with your eyes ever.
And that dubstep banging from the speakers speaks to your soul.
You are the happiest you’ve ever been for the longest time you’ve ever been happy.
It’s such an amazingly fantastical drug and you wish you could always be on it forever.

It's kind of incomplete. I was thinking of adding other major drugs (heroin, cocaine, maybe LSD), but need to do a bit more research on how I can relate the feelings those drugs give you to my theme. And by research, I don't mean taking those drugs.

This is a really great poem. I didn't find many mistakes but I would like to point out those that I did.


Alcohol is the nectar of the gods.
Well, the people who want to feel like gods. full stop or else the next for lines would run onto each other.
You see, everyone loves you
Unlike when you’re
Sober. You’re
The life of the party, the lady killer; the
Man who everyone wants
To be:- Why is this a colon? Shouldn't it be a full stop?
Shots of whiskey,
Red Bull and vodka. are great This period should be a comma is you want a pause otherwise the sentence doesn't make sense.
If yo=u want to get drunk - is this intentional or a typo?
As fast as possible; be
cause you can drink them so quick I don't really understand why you separated the word 'because'
A}nd you feel so -another typo
Much better than when you
Did’nt drink them -when you're putting conjugated words like this the apostrophe is always between 'n' and 't' (haven't, didn't, shouldn't)

Ecstasy is great for a few hours.
Everything is electric and warm.
You are completely happy about everything.
Who cares about Her,
When that light show is the greatest thing you’ve ever seen with your eyes ever.-I get that you're trying to put an emphasis to 'the light being the greatest thing' but putting 'ever' twice in one sentence may confuse readers as it did me when I first read it. It would be better if you took off the last 'ever'. Also, you should end the sentence with a question mark as it was intended to be a question when you started it in the former line.
And that dubstep banging from the speakers speaks to your soul.
You are the happiest you’ve ever been for the longest time you’ve ever been happy.
It’s such an amazingly fantastical drug and you wish you could always be on it forever.-I love the closing line although you will add some more to it.


Anyway, I hope it helped. happy writing!

Thanks for the review. All of the mistakes (other than the question mark in the 3rd stanza) were intentional. I was trying to show through syntax, structure, or wording the feelings of being under the influence of that particular drug. The first stanza (weed), was very short, small, compact. You're not able to think very much, or very quickly, so there's not much in that stanza. The second stanza (alcohol) is very sloppy, with strange line breaks, random characters, and poor/wrong punctuation. It also kind of rambles, much like a drunk man would. The 3rd stanza (ecstasy) has long lines filled with the ultimate descriptors; ever, most amazing, forever, etc. Everything is so amazing and perfect. Each lines leaves you breathless, much like doing anything on ecstasy.
