Have you ever done drugs and why?

[Deleted member 24434]

Yes, when I was young. I took coke and ecstasy. Had some wild nights haha. Though when I started doing poppers that's when my anxiety disorder began. That was the end for me. I just take booze now and not even hard booze, just beer.

 

[paininme]

Yes many different combinations I think to numb the pain but you are always chasing that feeling as soon as reality kicked in which made things harder Iv been sober 3 years now

I smoke weed for medicinal purposes. But in my younger and happier days I dabbled in pills, ecstasy, ghb, and more weed. I'm honestly shocked I never OD'd on GHB. My friend's mother was prescribed it to help her sleep but we'd sneak off with her bottle drinking the stuff all night through a syringe. We'd wait until we were coming down off the high and go right back up. At the time I was 16-17ish without one worry of accidentally overdosing. The stuff was absolutely insane. Passing out standing up and having absolutely no motor function. Easily one of the most hardest highs I've ever expierenced.

Everybody lies. Especially to doctors and nurses. My doctors believe I'm clean. I'm not on anything hard but I use pot frequently lately. Quit for about 10 years and since smoking again, I'm finally back up to a healthy weight and I can laugh about tragedy instead of crying... granted not always, but it's better than it was. My doctor believes it's the medications he prescribed. I stopped taking those months ago.

Marijuana, LSD, magic mushrooms, DXM, ecstasy, nicotine, booze, coffee, tea. Tried cocaine but it really didn't do anything for me. Smoked opium a couple of times, but other than that never really did any opiates.

Just did them for fun, mostly With Friends, Good Times. They never got to be a problem for me, never interfere with me getting an education or doing my jobs. So what the fuck?

These days I microdose to Stave off depression, but other than that don't really do any drugs now. Tho if I lived in a legal state I'd probably smoke weed every now and then.

—hugs—I can appreciate this.

After years of partying away the pain- I'll take a beer ( & weed).

Cheers

I wanna give this thread a push lol

 

[fruit-loops]

A DMT experience I had was increible. I had found all the answers to life and the universe but can't remember anything lol.

Wow, that is damn interesting!
I read it can really change the way you experiment you life. Did you change your mind about CTB, for example?

An ode to drugs

I'm a total freak when it comes to drugs. I don't know what it is... True love I'd say. Oh the times we had together. Ravaging as a kid through encyclopedias for articles about mind atering substances, smoking my parents cigaretes under the window of their room while they were sleeping after coming exausted from work. My grandmother almost caught me once. I stumped barefooted on a dud, barely kept it togehter. I walked through forests in search of deliririants like datura and henbane but unfortunately never found any. I'm not sure if I could have the balls to actually try that stuff, but it's the adventure that mattered. I've never danced like on escstasy, never played the piano like on lsd.

It could be said, that I do this to escape myself, that I need my mind altered because I don't like it how it is by itself. Maybe, to a dergree. But its more. It's a legit interest of mine since forever. And it rarely dissapointed me.

Because I'm not a junkie. I know, not really something to say after an ode, but besides weed I was never addicted to anyhing. I have measure. But I'll try almost anything.

P.s. I hate booze. Makes me sleepy.

 

[FohPah]

I binge drink a lot because it's fun and comforting and I'm chronically lonely. But I've cut back on it lately because I'm not enjoying it as much anymore.

Instead I'm mostly using cannabis now. It opens my mind so much that it's helping me escape my toxic thought patterns.

I'm dying to try ayahuasca to open my mind even more.

It surely was but...
I actually became more suicidal I think. I mean, I just wanted to leave this world ASAP to experience whatever the hell they had told me.
I think this life is just like a "prison" and the "real fun" is out there, once we die! lol

 

[upthedownescalatorr]

Weed was my panacea since I was 19 but since I developed tinnitus last year I can't enjoy it anymore because it makes the ringing even more unbearable.

 

[VivantMort]

Extract of the coca leaf was my pseudo-lover. Was an unhealthy and irrational but rational escape from an angsty existential crisis. Adieu, diable blanc.... I will not miss thee!

 

[Callie Arcale]

No, never tried any drugs. I've had severe anxiety all my life and I've always been afraid that taking drugs would mess me up even more.

Now write that in verse and make it rhyme :-)

 

[Grav]

Yep did for the gold ol' "be one of the crowd" and it cost me probably the only thing I would have been happy doing. So no, I don't consider it a positive experience for me at all. It's the one thing I would change if I had a time machine and a past mistake I can never forgive. So, good times.

I can relate to what you are saying. I am insane enough - don't wanna imagine me on drugs

 

[Sad_Autistic_boy_101]

Yes, I've battled with drug addiction for a long time. Not in the sense a lot of people think of like cocaine or Molly for example.

I was 12 when I started drinking and taking paracetamol together, then it turned into taking anything in the medicine cabinet. Then to opiates - Especially codeine and then Diphenhydramine which isn't an opiate but makes you chill.

For me, it's the only way to cope with existing. I never asked to be born and so this is the best I'm going to get to not feelings like I'm alive.

 

[Dear Agony]

Yes. I'm addicted to nicotine (half a pack a day), have done weed recreationally quite a few times (and didn't enjoy most experiences. I am a very paranoid and anxious individual and it made it 10x worse, just not my thing I guess). Used to heavily abuse alcohol and benzos on my teens (I got prescribed clonazepam and alprazolam for anxiety, it started there).
Nowadays, I haven't used any substance aside from alcohol and cigarettes in years, do not have a problem with alcoholism (I very rarely drink) and never became addicted to the benzos.
I honestly disagree with that psychologist, though. I went inpatient once for self harm, and met a lot of drug addicts and alcoholics. It's not a choice, and they deserve love and support. They will always struggle with addiction, but that doesn't mean all hope is lost, and saying that is extremely detrimental and prejudicious to them. They have bad stigma enough. It's not a drug I know, but I am severely addicted to food (bulimic), and consider it a drug, so I can honestly relate to every person with an addiction in the world tbh... it's not a choice. We are driven to it by circumstances in life we see no way out.
