Forums - General - What's your experience with drugs?

For me personally I use nicotine and caffeine. I've given almost everything a try at least once but it either didn't interest me much (THC) or it held much too much interest (everything else).

You know, drugs are bad and all that but people still do them. When I was growing up in the 70's it was very "fashionable" to do drugs. That's when it was still "recreational".

Growing up then, in North America, a lot of people that I met 20-30 years ago are now:

1. Dead from OD'ing
2. Dead from drunk driving
3. Dead from drug deals gone bad
4. Dead from AIDS (IV drug users & unsafe sex)
5. Are street people & practicing addicts
6. In prison for drug related offenses

7. Have battled addiction and are now living "clean".

I used to hang out with a lot of musicians.

Then again, I do know people that use drugs (legal/illegal, street/pharmaceutical) as part of their lifestyle and are more or less functioning just fine.

People that are heavy drinkers and/or smoke marijuana habitually seem to be the people that are most likely to survive (just that I've known) into their 40's and even well into their 70's.

Personally I'm much more likely to be for the decriminalization of drug related offenses and for rehabilitation as opposed to incarceration. So, that's a lot different things to discuss.

I know a couple of people who use drugs. I don't use them though.

Powder Cocaine(i once took a 2 foot long line)
Crystal Meth(and yes....i did live in a trailer park for that part of my life)

and iam also down with the decriminalization of drug related offenses and for rehabilitation as opposed to incarceration...

the current system we have now makes absolutely no sense...
it just sets people up for failure...

I've seen meth take down people so fast it's scary (to me at least). Tweekers are scary people to be around. Congrats for making it out alive.



I've seen people get their lives totally screw by drugs, even by alcohol or some other things considered "soft"
I don't use drugs .... of any type ... never have ... never will, nor even coffee

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.



Hi, this is Vince with Shamwow.

I've seen people (ex-friends) with lives so messed up from drugs I often wander if they have eaten in a week and that's the thing I worry about them the least



1 of my cousins is dead from an overdose and another 1 is a waste of space scaghead.
Weed is good though.



I never use any drug, I dont need them

Over the years, I have done pretty much every drug I could get my hands on that didn't involve needles. Now I just stick to alcohol.

Cocaine was my personal favorite because it didn't have the addictive tendencies of other drugs.

I turn into a complete psycho on marijuana so that was no good for me.

Meth is bad shit. The first time I did it, I stayed up for almost a week, lost 9 pounds, and ate virtually nothing. It's too clean a high, too available, and too cheap. Bad, terrible, horrendous stuff.

Ecstasy is fun but damaging. I highly suggest finding some slutty chick, doing it together, have crazy sex, then never do the stuff again.

LSD is just fucking evil. Three foot bumblebees chasing you around for a night do not make for an enjoyable experience.

Mushrooms just make me dizzy and blur everything. Meh.
