Do you use drugs?

Question

If yes, what do you take, how old were you when you first tried them and do you regret trying them?

I'm not asking cos i'm planning on trying drugs i take my fair share already, so no need for people to warn me off them. I'm just curious on how many people do/dont take them and what they think.

Answer 1

"would you tell a stranger in a questions forum if you did, never volunteer any information" - I think this guy obviously does. Paranoia or what?

Anyway, I smoke a bit of pot. Been doing that since late teens (about 10 years). I have also tried E, Coke and Magic Mushrooms a few times each. I don't regret it. Why should I? Life is about experiences. Some you like, some you don't. As long as you're taking them responsibly (and you can take drugs responsibly, the same way you can drink responsibly) and aren't harming anybody else then I don't see why it's anyone else's business.

Answer 2

I started when I was 14 with acid and valium, by the late 80's more acid, speed, ketamine and ecstasy 2 or three times a week - and stopped around 1994 (10 years later) because the potency was dilluted and I thought it was a waste of hard earned cash - probably grew up quite a bit by then too.

I carried on doing buckets and lungs until l2 years ago because I suffer from ashtma.

I don't regret a thing - life should be about experience and learning from those experiences. I do have a very poor memory now though.

Answer 3

Cannabis but only when in high spirits and good trusted company. I do not take and will never use any other drug... I avoid off the counter medication and fortunately I never need any. Cannabis was introduced to me at 18 as a "magical herb" not a drug and before I could puff I was lectured on the dangers involved when one disrespects and abuses the herb. Never take it to lift your mood I was informed, coz it magnifies and heightens what you are already feeling either consciously or otherwise and can be a two edged sword... then again, you know that already.

Answer 4

Yes, I've got a horrible cold and I'm blasting it with paracetamol and all sorts of interesting chemicals, some herbal some not!
;)

Don't think that's quite what you meant though...
I tried cannabis once or twice at uni, and it was fun and relaxing but I wouldn't go out of my way to do it again - not that I'd object if it were legalised and offered to me of course! No regrets on that score; something that causes you to chill out and enjoy life rather than become agressive and belligerent can only be a good thing!

Does Absinthe count for your question I wonder - that was a truly wierd experience - psychadelics and much visual oddness...
Not convinced by wormwood at all!

Answer 5

I only use painkillers and stuff to make me well when I'm sick... otherwise, I don't drink, smoke, swallow or inject anything... I think I managed to avoid trying anything by being a stubborn kid, and I don't think I've suffered for it... no, wait, someone gave me an alchopop once and I drank it thinking that it was ordinary fruit juice... which made me a bit dizzy, so I just went to a quiet room to lie down until the effects wore off. It was just an accident, no real event in my life, and it didn't lead to anything.

Answer 6

I was in Thailand recently on New Year's eve and couldn't resist some Marijuana which is available freely in a sea-resort called Pattaya.

I have an IQ of 138 (and a degree in Computer Sciences) - so that's quite a contradiction I guess.

Answer 7

Not any more. Started in my high school days, other kids pushed you to try it.still used drugs till i got married, them stopped and had 2 kids. Married 23 years never did drugs again i don't even drink. Yes i do regret it. took pot and speed and some acid, never shot up don't like needles.

Answer 8

I have smoked grass in the past, but not any more, my kids are more important.
As for the hard stuff. Only weak minded fools take that.

I have known a lot of people around my age DIE as a result of drugs.

Answer 9

I smoked weed from age 13 til 31 and I have a house, wife, and baby girl. It won't kill you or make you a bad person, but it could get you in trouble with the man, and definitely retards your ambition.

Answer 10

I smoke a lot of cannabis at the moment, started at about 15. I love having a joint after work, it helps keep me sane. Ive tried pretty much every illegal drug over the years and wish i'd left it at cannabis as it screwed me up for a while.

if you're thinkin of trying drugs, my advice would be to not start, don't even smoke cigarettes. its all very bad for you
