Drug Use

Have you used any drugs? If so which?


straight forward poll; 10 day deadline, and anonymous. feel free to talk about anything related, but, please refrain from starting a discussion on the morality or legality or health risks of drug use. Everyone makes choices in life for their personal reasons. When it comes something extreme as this, only an idiot would choose without reason or knowledge, so save the preaching please, atleast for another thread.

Personally, i'm open in saying i've used almost everything, and i'm open for most trying anything. I will NEVER try crack or heroine, period. Other than the above, i've had:
Opium
Ketamine
Aderol
Methadone
Hydrocodone (Vicodin)
DXM (Robitussin)
DMT
LSA
Xanax
Valium


If you want any information on any drug for whatever purpose, make sure you check out Erowid (http://www.erowid.org/). Especially if you use ecstacy, know that its not the mdma that's most dangerous, its the foreign agents that it's "cut" with. They have a list that is periodically updated by the government of what stamped pill contains what.

This thread probably won't last. So I'm not going to say anything. But if you've been around here long enough you know what's drugs I've used.

i made one about last year... new names around, was just curoius. last one stayed around for a pretty long time.

Are we including stuff we've used with an Rx?

well, not really, like i've used DXM (Robitussin) for a cold many times, but i've also (ab)used it to experience the euphoria from "over"dosing.

Vinnie, the mod options for editing threads don't include "Miscellaneous Options" that you get when you post a poll. To make it multiple choice I think you'll need to post a new poll. Or ask an admin.

What drugs have you used?
I have never (ab)used any drug.
Alcohol
Tobacco
Marijuana
LSD (acid)
Mushroom
Cocaine
Ecstacy
Methamphetamine (speed)
Other

Someone almost ODed right outside my dorm room, lying face down on the floor and his friend was a jackass. I didn't even leave my room, but my neighbor tried to help move him, and that's when I heard that this guy was really sketchy and wouldn't say where the guy on the ground was from. He kept saying 'wake up kenny, *slap* wake up kenny, cmon wake up kenny *slap* I'm the closest you have to a brother now wake up. Of course when this guy wouldn't tell him anything, my neighbor told him to get this guy out of here, the guy finally woke up and stood up and the other one carried him out, meanwhile I was debating whether to stay in my room or not...the whole conversation was intense...

If that wasn't enough, a cop came around a little later looking for them and my neighbor panicked and started fighting w/ his girlfriend..because he didn't want her seen or something. My room isn't as busy but it's a hell of a show if you have ears.

Can we make an all of the above choice?

I drink all the time (although I've been cutting back lately).
I smoked pot a couple times about 3 years ago.

That's it.

Can we make an all of the above choice?

...you're not gonna end outside my dorm facedown too are you?

Can we make an all of the above choice?
lol, I do want an admin to fix the poll for me, though. i forgot to make "multiple choices" available.

So please don't poll till that's changed

edit: sry, i missed your post, Oz.

I don't mean that I've done all them....I just need to choose more than one.

I guess I have drank and smoke (tobacco) a few times....not really sure that counts as drug abuse?

I've really never been offered much ofther than weed. I'm not sure about taking some of the things on the list, but a few, I would probably try just to try them and take out the mystery.

Alcohol
Tobacco
Weed
BZP
Nitrous

Will be trying mescalito and Ecstacy soon (not together, mind you)

Tobacco
Weed
Alcohol
Salvia

Dont want to use anything else.

Ketamine !
Thats FU ! :lol:

I need the multi choice select :eek:

I prefer downs tho,
no heroin,Mescaline, Ecstacy, or Meth!

just some synthetic heroin(dilaudid pain killers (http://www.opiates.com/opiates/dilaudid-addiction-detox.html)) years ago :D

I havent done drugs......

........ they done me :grinyes:

should hav made this poll your fav drug Vinny.

In order of first experience with them:

Tobacco
Marijuana
Mushrooms
Alcohol
Xanax
Aderol

Me and my friends suspect our friend's roommate rolled up once and laced our blunt with coke, but we can't prove anything. We found out after smokin with him a few times that he likes to roll 51's (nic and a gram) but I assume he wouldn't roll up with powder and then share it. The smoke smelled a lil funny though in retrospect.

Alcohol, tobacco, weed, cocaine (never snorted though), muscle relaxers.

tobacco daily, marijuana quite often, vicoden, ecstacy, mescaline, lsd, and shrooms. i guess i like to experiment! now i only smoke, drink, and an occasional painkiller here and there..

Junkies ! :shakehead

alcohol, tobacco, dont smoke weed anymore, shrooms rarely, and oxycodone/vicodin even more rarely.

actaully, i hear adderol and ritalin are good for students without ADD who want a boost in concentration when studying the dryest of subjects... is this true? If so i need to get my hands on some.

Aderol and ritalin are both Rx meds for people with ADD or ADDHD. My cousin is on Ritalin. They help you focus your thoughts on one task and virtually ignore others (for people who don't suffer from ADD). I took some (Aderol) to study for a test lst year and I stayed up all night and focused ont the information, but I failed to realize it doesn't necessarily provide energy, so I was falling asleep during the test in the morning :shakehead

I suggest an Aderol with a Red Bull chaser. You'll feel like you're on coke, but you'll be studying :iceslolan

Never done anything in my life and not planning on doing anything either.

IMO, all the drugs listed in the poll alter your thinking at least temporarily, and the potential benefits are not worth the risk, not to mention that you risk becoming dependant on those drugs.

I had that hyperactive disorder, I usually faked taking the pills, but I eventually got better paying attention in class. I do blame adhd for my bad grades throughout school BUT if I wasn't hyperactive, ask anyone, I wouldn't be ME!!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can only say Alcohol on that list. Caffeine is a drug also!

Grade school kids are so doped up it's ridiculous. Kids, especially boys are suppose to be bouncing off the wall with energy. I will refuse to put my kid on any meds if a doc ever suggests it. Talk to teachers about it, they don't like that the kids are on so many meds. I think it's dangerous and is going to cause them to be dependent on them their whole life.

And I have ADD.

Well, my problem is that when im trying to study i have such a hard time because my mind is wandering all the time, unless i find the subject interesting (physics 2 is NOT interesting). It seems like it could help me along in my studies. The question is how to get ahold of some if not diagnosed with ADD...

You poor patsy of the media and government. You'll never be a free thinker with that attitude. Enjoy living in your square for the rest of your lfie.

Agree 100%!!

I used to drink the occasional alcoholic beverage, average maybe 1 per week for about 20 years, but I have given it up since my son was born. A crying baby when I'm sober is easily managed. But even after 1 beer, that crying makes me really irritable.

I smoked weed/hash about 5 times between 1981 and 1985, but I regretted it. I suspect it may have had some very mild long - term effects on me.

So the only drug I have now is caffeine. I appreciate my morning cuppa joe.

I don't think smokin a lil reefer (I love callin it reefer :p ) back in the day shouldn't have had any long term effects on you. Not to say it didn't, you'd knnow better than I would, but its not likely.

I have the feeling that once i have kids most of my substance use will stop... except beer on Sundays. Football without beer is just plain unamerican

I never knew that doing drugs was a prerequisite for being a free thinker :rolleyes:

That's not what he said. His point is you just take everything the media and government say to you as gospel, which means you'll never be a free thinker. It's got nothing to do with drugs.

I've done my fair share. And I'm not completely against doing any of them again later down the road. If I'm at a party or whatever I'm pretty open to anything that doesn't involve sticking a needle in my arm.

Alcohol (too much)
Weed
Ecstasy
Meth (snorted & smoked)
Cocaine
Vicodin (orally & snorted)
Ativan (orally & snorted)
Valium (orally & snorted)

The best high ever was my first time doing ecstasy....which is to be expected. But overall a drug I needed to watch myself on and stay away from doing all the time is Meth. That shit is what being "high" is meant to be IMO. I've done it a few times and each time I was thankful I had a job I needed to get back to in a place far away from the people who could hook me up. I'm sorry to say it but doing meth in a hotel room with a hot girl is about as good as it gets. Instant crazy sex (if you can get it up, mind you). :iceslolan

Meth is right up there with crack as one of the drugs I will never try. Even though if the hypothetical gun was to my head, I'd do meth before crack. But the addiction for meth comes so quick (for the reasons AMG said), I can't take the risk. Living in the midwest and the ruralish south, I've heard more than my fair share of meth-head stories. Crazy stuff. But its always entertaining to hear about the local portable meth labs being busted... just to relocate by the next week

When blindside starts advertising McLaren parts for sale on AF, we'll know he hit rock bottom :disappoin



j/k blind :p

That's not what he said. His point is you just take everything the media and government say to you as gospel, which means you'll never be a free thinker. It's got nothing to do with drugs.

He assumed that that I made my decision based on the government and the media. Nobody is arguing that getting a "high" doesn't alter your thinking, reflexes, etc at least temporarily. During that "high" you do not have the same amount of control that you do when you're not "high". I've seen, heard and read about people doing things which they regret doing and would not have done if it wasn't for their mind getting clouded. Often times these choices have life-long consequences unfortunately...

What, no dextromethorphan option? Psh. :D

What, no dextromethorphan option? Psh. :D

i only have 15 available poll options. that's why i listed DXM under my "others" in my first post.


also, i just wanted to repeat:

feel free to talk about anything related, but, please refrain from starting a discussion on the morality or legality or health risks of drug use. Everyone makes choices in life for their personal reasons. When it comes something extreme as this, only an idiot would choose without reason or knowledge, so save the preaching please, atleast for another thread.

I was hoping for conversations on experiences, reasons for trying, etc.

Would you object to integration of the discussion of ages of first experiences with various drugs? I always find that interesting.

But it could lead to arguments over appropriateness of drug use at young ages... your call mang

:popcorn: <-- just can't get enough of the new smiley

I live out in the boonies, so the most I've used has been alcohol and tobacco.... Alcohol in the form of whatever I can get from a friends (I'm underage and I hate beer...so my choices are limited). Tobacco in the form of Cigars or Clove cigarettes. Weed is pretty common around here though, hell, it grows naturally in some fields nearby but I've never tried. Meth is really common where I am too, but I've seen way too many meth-heads to ever want to try it...not to mention one of my friends dad turned from this really nice guy into some sort of twitching, irritable, gaunt, smelly... thing. Shame.

Meh, just my cup o' tea I guess.

you know, i've quit smoking, actually. i've been good for several months now, so i'm happy about that, but I will have some Cloves now and then during a party. Call it what you will, i still say i'm free of "the habbit".

Even though i say i've done everything on that list but heroine, (and will never touch it, either, i'm too scared of it) I really only commonly smoke weed and drink alcohol. I'll run across coke and x once in a while (maybe once every 4 to 6 months) and probably some acid when i feel i've the time and right mood. Mushrooms i can't take anymore, i've taken it three times, but the last one was more than i can handle, and ended up giving me a terrible trip. no one should be allowed to handle what i thought i was going through, and so, i just stopped using it. you never know, i may try it again.

00accord44, i dunno how it rolls over with the mods, but i don't mind. i'm open about it, atleast, and i've asked politely twice to members to hold back any complaints and expert advise against usage... I first picked up a joint in ninth grade. I believe i was only 14. Then I started to smoke a little more occasionally with "the wrong crowd" in sophomore year, and picked up cigarettes. Around junior/senior year is when i picked up on psychadelics. and first year of college was a splurge. I've laid back on a lot now, and i've found many things i really don't care for, such as valium, vicodin, meth... really, i'll stick to psychadelics, weed, and alcohol now. x and coke is fun, but something i don't care to use often. better, too, so i don't make a habbit out of those two addicting substances.

^ah so. Well I first started smoking cigarettes in 7th grade (12 yrs old I think), then quickly switched to weed. Weed was actually our replacement when we (me and my friends) decided to quit smokin cigarettes. Somehow we wound up smokin both :shakehead

We tried shrooms once in 8th grade when my friend's big brother got us some... that was craaaaazy. I only did it once again after that.

I didn't even start drinking until Jr year of high school because I prided myself on being a smoker and not a drinker. Why I was so proud of it, I'll never know. But once I started drinking, I fell quickly into abuse, drinkin before, during, and after school. Somehow I kept a job, at one point two jobs. But I felt like shat. That wasn't cool at all. :disappoin

Then college was/is the typical heavy drinking on the weekends and a few tries with xanax and aderol last year.

Xanax is wierd. I remember having fun with it, but the first time I took 2 tombstones and drank my usual amount... so I was passed out in some room at a party by the end of the night. Still don't remember how I got home. The next times I only took one though so I was able to stay awake :slap:

What would these "long-term" effects be exactly?

the only long-term effects he may experience is memories. THC is fat-soluable and will eventually be removed from the body. the tar (if smoked) will also eventually be purged from the lungs, especially if he only did it rarely.

I severely doubt smoking weed or hash only about 5 times over the space of 4 or 5 years will have any long term effects.

just throwing it out there, caffeine has (arguably) more severe effects on the body than THC:
Increases anxiety and nervousness at high doses or in sensitive individuals [Lieberman 1992, (http://www.erowid.org/references/refs_view.php?ID=6688)Loke 1988 (http://www.erowid.org/references/refs.php?ID=6686)]
Insomnia, decreased ability to sleep [Smith 2002 (http://www.erowid.org/references/refs.php?ID=6685)]
Caffeine withdrawal can worsen mood [Schuh 1997 (http://www.erowid.org/references/refs.php?ID=6687)]
Caffeine withdrawal causes headaches, flu-like symptoms, feelings of lethargy and reduces motivation [Schuh 1997 (http://www.erowid.org/references/refs.php?ID=6687)]
Increases jaw tension and bruxism [Erowid Self Reports 2000, Ohayon 2001 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=11157584&query_hl=30&itool=pubmed_docsum)]HEARTBURN - In some people, coffee has been shown to relax the sphincter muscles at the lower end of the esophagus, allowing the stomach contents to "back up" into the esophagus; this is called heartburn. Caffeine alone has no effect on the sphincter muscles, so other substances in coffee apparently cause the heartburn.

ULCERS - Caffeine can increase the secretion of both acid and pepsin in the stomach, which could exacerbate an existing ulcer. However, since both "regular" and decaffeinated coffees have also been shown to stimulate the gastric mucosa and increase stomach acid secretion, caffeine is probably not the only component of coffee responsible.

FIBROCYSTIC BREAST DISEASE - In the late '70's and '80's, several well-publicized studies linked caffeine consumption with benign fibrocystic breast disease (FBD). More recent investigations, however, have not supported these findings. Individual women may notice a decrease in palpable breast lumps, the symptoms of FBD, when they limit their caffeine intake, although research has not shown a direct association.

HEART PROBLEMS - Caffeine has been shown to cause cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) in certain individuals; often persons with heart disease are told to avoid caffeine altogether. However, no evidence shows that caffeine is a causative factor in the development of heart disease. Also see "Has coffee drinking been linked to heart disease?" in this section.

HEART DISEASE - The relationship between coffee drinking and heart disease has been investigated in numerous studies but strong, independent risks associated with coffee drinking have not been clearly documented. Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medical Institute recently found heavy coffee drinkers (defined as five or more cups per day) were two to three times more likely to have coronary heart disease than were nondrinkers (NEJM, October 16, 1986). This relationship was true even when accounting for other important risk factors such as age, smoking habits, serum cholesterol and blood pressure.

Starbucks: biggest drug dealers in America :p

Morphine and Fentanyl... And afew beers.

I don't mean that I've done all them....I just need to choose more than one.

Nicole, Nicole... im slightly dissapointed with you :nono: . Maybe thats just how things are over there?

He only said he used about 5 times. No way there could be long term effects.

As for the caffeine, I totally agree. I've had so much caffeine before that I was shaking severely, couldn't concentrate, and felt extremely nautious. My body was also starting to feel bad from drinking so much everyday. And talk about rough time sleeping.

Every seen anyone on No-Doz. It's not good. I know people who took them like candy, finishing an entire bottle in almost 2 days. They were fucked up for a good week or more from it.

Nicole, Nicole... im slightly dissapointed with you :nono: . Maybe thats just how things are over there?

Morphine and Fentanyl... And afew beers.

:dunno: Huh? I haven't done everything!

I started smoking cigarettes and weed when I was 12 or 13, I had an older cousin that I grew up around. I don't really do either, although lately I've been picking them up again. And I've just recently started drinking over the summer.

I've taken various painkillers and things, but nothing except Xanax more than once.

Don't think I'll ever do anything more. One of my best friends uses cocaine, which is kind of making me wonder about that, but I don't think I'll do it.

I don't do drugs anymore.

I'm addicted to chinese food. Been eating it all weekend. Can't stop.

I only remember about 20 minutes of the first time I ever got high off of weed. I was chilling in my friend's shed which was really more of a small, dirty room with some chairs and we were passing around his brand new Zong. Everyone else there was a pretty experienced smoker and they were ripping the thing like crazy, clearing the stem after just about each hit. Not to be a pansy, I decided to clear the stem on one hit as well. Retrospectively speaking, for a first time smoker, this is like getting launched into fucking orbit.

I exhaled and coughed a little but I felt fine. A few minutes passed by as everyone was talking about what this one kid did last Friday or something like that. I could slowly hear their words fading into gibberish as I became very aware of my surroundings. I had been in the shed probably 50 times before, but now it was starting to look very strange and very funny. For some reason I couldn't stop thinking how funny their lawnmower was, despite the fact that it was a pretty average looking mower. People tried to talk to me but I couldn't even comprehend what they were saying, I think they were trying to antagonize my high, and I think it was working.

To make a long story short, it felt unreal, like a dream. Before I knew it, it had already been an hour since I inhaled that hit. I had to go to work in about 20 minutes and I was still fucking rocked. Driving was fucking amazing, it felt like I was gliding. I paid pretty close attention to the road and I did a great job of driving, better than when I'm sober and have road rage for sure. I got to work and I was still stuck in this dream state, I was seriously rocked. Everyone at my work was acting so strange, at least to me, and I must have looked like one stoned motherfucker. I was so afraid to work, I was going to screw up people's orders and look like an idiot. So I get up to the desk to clock in and one of the managers looks and me and asks, "Mark?"

"Yes"

"You can go home if you want, we won't be needing you to work tonight."

I was so fucking relieved, the marijuana gods must have been watching over me that day. I have only ever been that high again once in my 5 years of smoking, and I paid $70 for an 1/8 of this shit (which is about $20 more than 1/8 of dro around here usually costs). I would gladly pay the same price again just to experience that kind of high.

I only remember about 20 minutes of the first time I ever got high off of weed...Not to be a pansy, I decided to clear the stem on one hit as well. Retrospectively speaking, for a first time smoker, this is like getting launched into fucking orbit.

:lol:, I've done the exact same thing. not the first time ever, but early enough.

Every seen anyone on No-Doz. It's not good. I know people who took them like candy, finishing an entire bottle in almost 2 days. They were fucked up for a good week or more from it.

My cousin was downing No-Doz when we made our road trip couple weeks ago. She was already a bad driver, but on the No-Doz she was even worse. That shit was seriously scary

I smoked Mary-J in grade 8 once, didn't get high, smoked some in grade 10 a few times without getting high. then the last night of school a bunch of us, mostly people from the graduating class and two friends from my grade, hot boxed the girls bathroom/changeroom in the fieldhouse with weed and hooka. i got pretty high and almost passed out, then i went back to my room and slept. i dont smoke up often but i recently smoked alot with a friend and his brother, we were in his garage (separate from his house) and our only heat source was a heating lamp from a buffet. i spent 2hours straight staring at that lamp just trippin out like mad. i tend to get crazy flashbacks from my childhood when i get really high. i also smoked on top of a building that was under construction with friends from university, im probably the first student to smoke on that building, and i was having so many flashbacks when we were walking around campus.

as far as tobacco goes, i don't smoke cigs but i've smoked hooka. i don't smoke because i see how hard it is for my dad to quit and i don't want to get hooked.

i also drink since i started uni. my first time being drunk (other than in grade 5, it was an accident) was grad trip, june 2006, but i've been drinking kind of often since university started. probably every other week or so.

i might try mushrooms and salvia but not many times. i'd like to experience a hallucinogenic but i don't want all of the horrible side effects so i'll probably only do them once or twice.

I've literally drank tons of beer, between about 17 and now I'm almost 21.

I've never bought a cigarette but if someone wants to give me one I'll usually smoke it.

I tend to alternate between smoking mad amounts of cronic and then quiting completely for a few months.

Tried blow once but coming off it sucks too much and it became extremely obvious why people get hooked on it.

Never tried E and I don't want too, alot of my freinds are starting to do it alot , too much in my opinion.

Shrooms are awesome, I've done them lots and there's nothing to be worried about, just don't take more than you can handle. start off with a couple grams and when you know what to expect, next time you take a little bit more. I can handle a quarter bag at a time now, I'll be fucked out of my tree for 4 hours but I'll have a fun time. When you take mushrooms you just have to go along with trip no matter how crazy it gets. You definately don't want to decide you want it to be over, that's when you freak out have a bad one.

Neven have or will try Salvia, it seems like a pretty pointless and stupid high and can't be good for you noodle.

I'll definately never try H or or meth which are obviously super addictive and fuck peoples lives up big time. Same goes for crack, I've seen what it can do first hand.

I tried Ketamine once when I was drunk which is a bad idea because it's a sedative/hallucinagen, that means it'll slow your heart down so you don't want to do it with booze.

And last but not least, Percocet's, If they're good enough for Krusty they're good enough for me! They make my whole body get super annoying itches everywhere though, so I've only had them a few times.
