Poll: What drugs have you taken?

[s0denone]

Here you are, it's quite interesting should hopefully work, I should have waited till I found it instead of looking quite the fool.

Thank you for the discussion, I think I'll bow out and got to sleep. I entered the discussion too arrogantly and even if I turn out to be correct, the moral of this story is to be correct with good sources.

Well I'm quite busy reading now, so there wouldn't be discussion for a good few minutes anyway.
Can't blame you for hitting the sack.
Good night

Alcohol, Tobacco (smoker), Marijuana, LSD, Ecstasy, Speed.
I've had DMT, which is essentially a smokeable LSD with no comedown. Really interesting.
My motto is basically "don't do anything which you snort, sniff, inject or shove up your ass."

Haha.
That is a fine motto. If only most idiots would hear of this before injecting substances into their body.

Whats wrong with IM/V, rectal and nasal ROA's? Or is it just the stigma's attached to them? The irony is smoking is by far the most fiendish ROA, least healthiest choice by far.

I did a fuckload of weed and tried the incense stuff. Doesn't beat the real thing but yeah, whatever. Also smoked heroin once apparently(it came up on a blood test) and that's when I completely stopped using incense. Go weed!

Also alcohol and tobacco but those are god given to us.

Was it your dealer try to get rid of his heroin stash by dipping his weed buds in his heroin?

Some drug dealers do actually do that, especcially with coke.

It might be possible. I did buy the stuff from a different dealer this time as my usual dude was out of town but the high was the same. I assumed it was just the incense showing up as heroin because apparently faulty results aren't that uncommon with the stuff.

Bongs for the win?

Well, to be fair it's a lot easier to fuck up IV. It's much easier to introduce bacteria into the body, straight past all the bodies natural defences. You could get an artery instead of a vein and even if you do get a vein poor technique can do serious damage as well as all the additives that you get in non pharmaceutical grade stuff that can do damage to your veins and arteries although vein damage usually takes a lot of continual use. Proper pharmaceutical grade drugs have a lot less of these problems of course.

Never tried any of it. I once had a sip of alcohol by accident, but it nearly made me vomit.

By the way, OP, how does it feel being a total drug addict?

 

[Nimcha]

Oh great, drug threads. I'm not even going to read any of it, just answering the OP.

I've smoked pot a few times, but didn't like it at all. I don't get why some people make a big deal out of it, it just makes you act retarded.

If I need to do that I prefer booze. Much more controllable and it actually has a taste.

 

[unoleian]

Jeebus. Only one possible choice to make in the poll? I'll just say I've done all of the above, many of them several times over, except heroin and meth-- never touched/smelled/seen/been near them unless it was possibly in a doctored roll-- and don't really have a desire to ever try those.

Also, add in about a dozen or more "other" substances, a battery of entheogenics, extracts, OTCs, scrips, and research chems to the "taken" list.

I'm quite an experimenter, and love trying new things. Most are fun. Some were not.

Sue me.

I love how people who don't take drugs think they have an innate right to act smug in the face of those who do.

This wouldn't change even if the drug user they met was far more accomplished and well rounded than they were.

You do realise that for most of us it's a recreational choice, not an addiction.

With the exception of the obvious few hard hitters. Most recreational drugs are less harmful than some of the shit you find in processed food.

It's all about moderation and understanding when to give it a rest.

Personally my favourite drug my far is MJ. Because it has no negative effects whatsoever.

Coming in second would certainly be booze. Follow swiftly by LSD. That is something I use in great moderation.

Quoted for approval, though I would prefer some caps and stems over some drops or blotter, myself.

 

[The Magical Hobo]

Alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana. Booze and smokes are tied for my favourites.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Ummm... Alcohol, lots of that. Morhpine and suchlike when I was in hospital, a bit of weed every now and again (generally at festivals, but if other people have it I might have a little) and I've done some other stuff a couple of years ago that I'm not especially proud of and am really glad I stopped when I did.

So really, these days I'm pretty much the common 19/20 year old when it comes to drug usage.

What is the appeal of taking mind-altering drugs? I just don't get it. Now tack on the fact that most of them are illegal, unhealthy, and expensive makes it mind boggling why people want to do it. So you get high for a day. Big whoop. Go have sex or something, it's just as good.

 

[Wintermoot]

a teensy bit of alcohol and lots of caffeine (from coffee or coke)

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Alcohol, mostly. Tried a cigarette once whilst drunk, didn't enjoy it, never again. Same story with weed.

Oh, and citalopram, medically speaking. Woop for anti-depressants!

 

[Endocrom]

Speed, in the form of Ritalin

Exactly because it's mind altering. It's fun to get a different perspective on reality now again. I also know a few people who would claim MDMA is better than sex, but I have a hard time believing that one. However, it certainly feels fucking amazing. Different strokes for different folks, YMMV, and so on.

"With a bit of luck his life was
ruined -- forever thinking that
just behind some narrow door in all
his favorite bars, men in red
Pendleton shirts are getting
incredible kicks from things he'll
never know."

Also, where's this idea that taking drugs somehow equals virginity and celibacy? I'm utterly confused by that. Like taking a roll means I've never gotten laid? wtf does this come from? It comes up a lot.

 

[Senaro]

Other: None.

 

[Low Key]

Tobacco
Alcohol
Weed
Coke
Shrooms
Codeine

I have cut everything out of my life except cigs and weed, though I have pretty much stopped smoking weed. I do drink a little bit, but I'm one of those people who'll have one beer simply for the taste. It's not about getting drunk for me.

Well, some people can't just go out and have sex unless they pay for it, and in which case, that would likely be more expensive and just as illegal.

 

[Togs]

Semi regular weed smoker
Done laughing gas, its very shortlived and gives you a headache if you do it too much but for about 30 seconds its bliss
Cocaine was horrible, 1st it feels like someones shoved chilli sauce up your nose and then you go about acting like the most obnoxious arrogant jock for 20 minutes
And mushrooms were beautiful, only took a small handful but for about 4 hours everything was rosy, currently would love to try them again, this time with a larger dose.

Shpongled. <3 that name.
Out of all of those, only IM/V is really highly stigmatized, and I think for very good reason, overall. Smoking is indeed fiendish, but the risks and potential immediate harm withIM/V is much, MUCH higher. Insufflation doesn't really carry any stigma in my experience, but the image of the violent cokehead is often attached to that ROA, so maybe only in that respect is it stigmatized. Insufflation is great for a more immediate return of effects over a shorter time span, and has its uses. Rectal administration is just...weird. I understand it can be highly effective, but I just can't bring myself to cram anything up my pooper. Power to those who can, I guess, but....it's kinda like autoerotic asphyxiation. Sure, you can do it, and it's apparently incredible.....but are you a bad enough dude to actually go there?
