A simple topic, I'm merely curious as to what (if any) drugs people have dabbled with.
Note to admins, if this is a sensitive subject (with regards to your kind hosts at gamespy) then feel free to delete the topic, also note that i'm not in anyway advocating the posession and ingestion of illegal substances.
I personally smoke pot (thenkyou) on a regular (i.e daily) basis, I drink a bit, not much though and I also take Magic mushrooms on a semi regular (little less than once a month) basis.

Only stupid peoples uses drugs
EDIT: And no, I don't use drugs.

They are horribly bad, but the only thing that makes them worse than tobacco smoking is that they are illegal. If tobacco wasn't such a big industry, it would be illegal too (it's just as addictive as drugs, gets you high, but it makes millions).
EDIT: And no, I don't use drugs.

I use drugs all the time, HIG. Specifically when I get sick. They help with the whole getting-better process.
I don't understand why people intentionally ingest mind altering substances (with the express purpose of "getting high"), though. I drink alcohol, but I drink it for the taste. I don't drink to get drunk.
That said, the hardest thing I've ever tried was a shot of absinthe in a little shot-bar in Ebina, in Japan.
-
illegal drugs are bad
-
Let's see:
- Alcohol (profusely)
- Cocaine
- Weed
- Ecstacy
All on a fairly infrequent basis. Usually just when someone offers. For the most part I don't drink, smoke or do drugs but if they're going for free I have no qualms about taking them.
I even once tried to over-dose on Paracemtomalomloals and cough-syrup for a bet. I got stopped though when they realised I was actually going to do it.
-
Ever tried Saki? THAT's an addictive substance!
As for Drugs, well, I won't say I am squeaky clean by any stretch of the imagination, and if pot is going round at a party or anything, then yep, I'll take a few drags, I smoke anyway. I've done all sorts of things in my life, being quite experimental in my early years, including some class 'A' stuff, but I grew up and out of them all.
I won't say that they are good, they have killed people, but please don't judge people or put them into boxes marked 'Druggy', alcohol or tobacco, as has been mentioned, are both drugs, simply legal ones, and although people may drink alcohol for the taste, it doesn't stop you waking up wearing a traffic cone the next morning?

i myself don't even smoke and only drink one glass every 2 weeks (approx.), but i have no real problem with people who take drugs, but i don't want them to do it near me, but that goes for smoking too. hard drugs are bad, weed isn't all that terrible. i live in Holland BTW, so i doubt i am going to have to tell you local drug policy's.
-
I don't smoke. I actively despise smoking
I don't do drugs. I actively despise doing drugs.
I drink... well, to the amount a 15-year-old can drink, which usually limits me to a bottle of beer at a sauna, or a glass of fine whiskey after dinner (I have very liberal parents).
-
All things are good in moderation.
I got no problems with someone taking heroin right infront of me, but if they're addicted to it I'd be sat hoping they'd OD.
-
I don't smoke.
I'm often tempted to try weed.
I don't drink that much, simply because I can't afford to.
-
LOL true, been there, done that, got the cherry burns :)
I don't mind people not agreeing with drugs, and always used to not smoke without permission when I was round a friends house etc, it has to be a 2-way thing. I suppose what annoys me is people who assume other people on drugs must therefore mug grannies in order to feed their habit. They don't realise most people who do drugs, when they have no money, simply don't do drugs. Smokers are more likely to commit crimes to get a hit than, for example, ecstasy or even coke users are.
Most of Leonardo DaVinci's work was done under the influence of Absynth.
I lose count of how many conceptual artists in the 70's and 80's including the fathers of modern pop music, were heavily influenced by drugs.
I suppose as long as people remember that drugs are something you 'do' not something you 'need' there is a place for them in social environments.

Each to their own I guess. I drink to get drunk but I don't like being drunk all that much so I only drink once a week at the most. Trying to cut back on smoking pot to be fair, it's something of a habit, mostly started when I used it to help me sleep (I prefer it over sleeping tablets) as I'm a pretty bad insomniac at times.
Magic mushrooms are perfectly legal in the uk (loophole) so I've tried those a few times. Having the experience of that I would say that they have a somewhat bad reputation which is sad. I can honestly say I feel a better person for doing them because they've helped me solve personal problems and appreciate things I've taken for granted before. They've given me a lot of insight into feelings and thoughts that I'd normally try to ignore too.
It is, however, easy to see why they are illegal as the effects of a strong dose are quite simply overwhelming.

Funny because when I was your age I was exactly the same. Not saying you'll end up the same but anything can happen.

Don't really drink (or, get drunk at least) - only really at barbeques or sometimes at my brothers'.
Hate smoking, and i think you'd have to be an idiot to take any Class A,B,C substance - it's the equivalent of injecting drai-cleaner into your veins, cos odd are that you either have ****-all idea what you're taking or what it;s effects will be.
-
I smoke cigarettes, about a pack every 3 days.
I drink but mostly liquor on the weekends when I go clubbing.
I smoke the green daily. Not too much during the week, but like mad on the weekends.
Besides that, I've done X and stamps. Craziest was taking 4 X's at Ultra (techno music festival) in one night. I will never do that again (but it felt oh so right when I did it). I can just imagine how broiled my brain was that night.
-
I've a semi-mate who has parents so liberal that not only do they not mind him smoking weed in the house, they join in.
Everyone else seems to have disowned him as he's getting to far into the drug use, and seems to be intending to try every drug possible.

Dude. Now I'm scared.

I hate smoking. Nevermind the whole cancer thing, my major problems are as follows:
1. It smells really bad.
2. The smell gets in your clothes and stays there.
-
I'm with Carl. And I've never woken up with a traffic cone on my head. Of course, I've never been so drunk that I couldn't walk home, take a shower and go to bed. And I've never had a hangover, either.
-
Well, the real problem with cannabis smokers is the fact that they are more addicted to smoking than to the cannabis itself. I smoke tobacco, and I think it smells awful and is anti-social, that is the danger of addiction.
Anyway, this is your brain on drugs.....

*has full control over his actions even when drunk, never loses any memory and never gets hang-overs*
Aside from a loss of balance and eye-sight, alcohol has no detrimental affects on me. I've always had enough sense to never sleep in my bed (incase I was sick), drink at least half as much volume of water as I have had of alcohol and been able to walk home.
Mind, one time as I was leaving a party that was some 300m from my house with a group of friends, I walked 3 miles across town and back again to try and walk-off some of the intoxication.....alone, at 2am, through back-alleys and woodland.
-
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

I do a lot of research before I even think about trying a drug, as well as speaking to people that have had previous experience. Not only that but I always have people either with me or nearby when I ever do mushrooms, though I will admit to the dubious quality of some of the hash I get (definitely not cut pure sometimes).
I'd agree with you on some drugs (heroin, crack, speed, ecstasy) with regards to ****ing your body up however. Having seen the effects of these first hand on two of my brothers I can honstly say that they give the organic drugs (mushrooms, weed) a real bad name. Mostly because ****head dealers out to make a quick bit of cash cut them with so much **** it's unbelievable.

My parents are ok with me smoking pot in my room, my room never smells of it and I just sit quietly on my computer for the most part so why would they care? It's not much different to how I'd normally be, just I'm stoned and playing a game/making music/surfing the web/watching por...
:nervous:
Unfortunately though, I also have two friends on a self destruct path at the moment, hoping they'll come out of it by themselves but if they don't then I may have to beat them out of it.
-
I still don't see why eople have made pot illigal and alcohol legal in the rest of the world. Alcohol is far more dangerous then w33d.
In other words: Come to Holland! :D
No really, I find it interesting that the US has more drug related problems then us while we actually allow drugs (soft drugs) :p
As to what I've used:
- Smoked once, never again.
- Smoked pot... semi nice though you stink afterwards :p Do it every so often (4 times a month maybe in the weekends)
- Paddo's, once in a while on a rave or something. Usually only a few times a year.
- Cocaine, man that was a trip. Tried 1 nak (a line). Happy like a deranged clown and inexaustible... though afterwards I was depressed for a few days. Never done it again, not worth it.
- XTC, tried it once... Was fun while it lasted I was sick for a week. And still felt it after a month. Not done ever since. AGain, not worth it.
- Alcohol, frequently but mainly as a social drinker. No major boozefests unless its a big party. Then I tend to get drunk real fast :D
I always say, if you haven't tried it you don't know. Well I do know. My advice: Stay off hard drugs but soft drugs are ok if used in a normal manner and bought in a preff. legal manner where you know its clean. (Like in a Dutch coffeeshop and not on the street. thats most likely poison)
Soft Drugs aren't harmful if used properly.

I don't smoke tobacco, can't stand it and it makes me want to vomit whenever I take too much on a spliff. Go figure. :)

Was going to go to college, then onto uni, then into the great wide yonder. Kinda ****ed that up a fair bit but I don't regret it a bit. I wouldn't have enjoyed where that path would've taken me and I'm saving money to travel some point next year.
-
I drink, i smoke (allot less then a few weeks ago) and once every 3/4 weeks some pot. I like to roll them almost pure.
I never tried hard drugs and i don't want to try it.
-
I drink alcohol regularly (varying from a beer to heavy drinking depending on the occasion, but mostly in the evening with friends and such - no alcoholism here thanks).
I've smoked weed twice, it wasn't bad but I don't feel compelled to make a habit of it. It's just not that special (and yes, I did get some effect out of it - and it was good - but I have other things to spend my money on).
Unfortunately I'm forced to smoke passively since my mother insists on smoking, I've got very strong views on this but they're not really suited to this thread. Cut short - I'd rather she didn't do it.
Overall then? Not much of a drugs person myself... never tried anything harder (and I really don't plan to).
-
i wont touche drugs with a 10 Km cloun pole.,....
drinking is different :)
-
I occasionally take a glance at open television channels, mainly during dinner.
-
Ironic... Someone on my bus offered to sell me weed today... About a minute later, I thought, 'And i thought those say no to drug ads were just bull.'...

Not being a smoker, one of my stoner friends convinced my to make up some go-faster banana flavour Angel Delight which basically involved dumping a generous ammount of resin in to the mixture. Didn't do a bloody thing for me.

Never drunk alcohol. Never smoked. Never done drugs.
Never intend to do any of the above. I'm crazy and mildly happy enough as it is.

Probably didn't put enough in there. When you eat it, you need a LOT of resin, also works best if you mix it with chocolate.

The problem - I think - is that people are still finding new side effects to drugs...even cannabis - I remeber a few studies cropping up that highlighted an increased risk of developing schizophrenia (sp?), and more recent stuff indicating that the potential lung damage was actually as high or even higher than cigarettes.
I think every drug there is messes with your brain chemistry (producing excess amounts of dopamine, for example), and i'm not sure anyone has an idea of what the long term consequences are... I mean, whilst a lot of drugs are older than you;d think (morphine/cocaine used to be sold as a home remedy in something like the 1920s - IIRC, the Sears catalogue sold hypodermic needle kits, and also opium), I think it's only recently (and with more widespread use) that people have started to seriously study the effects.
I'd say that the heavily addictive drugs are still a bigger risk than cannabis, but I'd also say that I'd rather see all drugs upgraded, and cigarettes made class C(+).
Incidentally, my next-door-neighbours-across-the-road got nicked for dealing..... they had an entire happy forest (30+ fully grown cannabis trees) in their garage. :)
-
I have a liking for the smell of Antisepctic disinfectants, and I'm sure a lot of people round here must be drinking the stuff. I used to work in a shop that sold it, and I was having to refill the shelf several times a day.
Nobody needs that must antisepsis.
-
This thread worries me. Really. :(
-
[color=66ff00]The world health organisation once did a range of tests to try and find out how damaging cannabis is to the pysche and the body, it rated lower risk than alcohol. (you will have a difficult time finding the data though as it was promptly swept under the carpet by countries that have hard-line stances against cannibis).
Personally I'd have cannibis any day over alcohol which I think is far more dangerous (how many people have you ever heard of being attacked by a person off their face on cannibis?) alcohol related attacks are frequent. If alcohol was discovered today I can guarantee you that it would immediately be placed on the illegal substances list.
I don't drink alcohol and I'm almost 100% sure that in my lifetime will never touch the stuff, I'm an extremist you might say but my extremism hurts no-one and actually improves my state of mind.
As for the other drugs; I have a lot of friends who have tried weed (in various forms), ecstasy, acid, shrooms, cocaine and a few I'm sure I don't know about. I've seen a lot of the physically manifested side effects of most of them quite frequently. I don't criticise my friends as I believe in freedom of choice but I'm resolute that I'll never do any of those drugs myself, I have a hard enough time trying to figure out how reality works without skewing it into something new.
[/color]
-
I'm a social drinker, but that's about it. I've got a really good sense of smell, so pot and tobacco smoke give me headaches (all the side effects don't help either), and I've seen what happens to mates of mine on the harder stuff. Not something I'll be putting myself through...

"Early in the mornin’
Risin’ to the street
Light me up that cigarette
And I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason
Reason things went wrong.
Got to find the reason why my money’s all gone.
I got a dalmation
And I can still get high.
I can play the guitar like a mother ****ing riot.
Life is too short so love the one you got
Cause you might get run over or you might get shot."
So true... And one of the best albums to listen to when you're stoned :D Should be easy for most of you to figure out who that is. That and Tricky, Portishead, or any breakz.
Anyway, I think most things are fine in moderation. The problem is that not many people have the willpower to stay moderate. I, for one, do not have that great of a willpower. That's why I'll never try coke or heroin. I won't try anything that's overly addicting cuz if it's too pleasurable I know that I'd do it again. My senses are what makes my willpower weak. Anything that makes me feel good is what makes me fall.
-
One thing they'll say about cannabis is that if you're a regular daily user that you'll suffer from chronic depression by the age of 30. From my experience (as I'm a couple years from 30) and knowing friends who are worse smokers than me, I'd say it's probably true.
*gets depressed and looks for his pipe* :D
-
I agree about the smell factor - although oddly I enjoy the smell of weed (I even did before I tried it, and I should add that I only tried it when I was ready to - made a point of saying no untill I was ready and I made it that far... it's important to ensure you have a strong resolution before dabbling with drugs. At least it's important to me).
Tabacco on the other hand smells aweful. I also frequently get headaches and coughs as a result of being around smokers (of anything that isn't weed) apparently. It's led to more than a few arguements at home since as I said my mother smokes a fair bit. Personally I think that if weed should be illegal then tabacco certainly should. Weed smokers have been amongst the nicest people I've ever met (generalisation, but I've never met anyone who was unpleasent while smoking weed). Cigarette smokers on the other hand are incredibly thoughtless about thier habbits. It's illegal to drink in public here in England (I think) but it's not illegal to smoke. Odd, no? :rolleyes:

mmm, well, i hate the smell of both Tabbacco, in cigarettes, pipes and cigars, though pipes aren't that bad, but weed stinks terribly, i had some guy trying to annoy me by blowing the smoke from his joint in my face, and it just smells terribly.
i do recognise the smell of weed pretty quick. once when my mom and i where walking around in a bigger city, and we walked past a coffee shop she pointed it out, so i knew when someone was smoking the stuff.

when i was 19 one of my friend used drugs but after i did beat him he didn't use anymore

Sublime, how aptly named.
Bradley Nowell had the soul of a poet and the guitar skills of a legend.
Not too keen on Portishead or Tricky but Massive Attack (Mezzanine) is THE perfect album to chill out too.
Moderation is the key and I do smoke too much and I am aware of that, (not that I need this to stop me doing it but) having seen first hand the effects of both Heroin and Crack I can tell you now that that is an avenue that I will never even contemplate.

The potential for lung damage study was a farce. They ASSUMED that smoking a spliff is as bad as smoking X amount of cigarettes and based a half assed "scientific" study on it. It's complete mis-information and uneccessary in my book (thats not to detract from the fact that it COULD cause cancer, I think smoking anything gives you that risk). Cannabis wasn't the drug linked to schizophrenia either, that lies with the psychadelics (Mushrooms, LSD, Mescaline) and ONLY if there is a genetic history of mental illness within the family.
It makes me laugh that tobacco is legal despite having NO redeeming qualities and actually containing three or four poisons (cyanide, arsenic, nicotine) as well as tying up the NHS with the millions of smoking related diseases. In fact, it was scientifically proven that cannabis is one of the least toxic substances that you can ingest and you'd need to ingest twice your own body weight to poison yourself mildly with it.

I legally take an amphetemine (sp?) for my ADD. So they do have their uses.

My favourite DTD quote:
MORRIS: It's been revealed that the junior Treasury Minister, Michael Portillo, carries a sawn-off shotgun to constituency meetings, corners children in parks and chews their cheeks and has frequent sexual intercourse with stray animals, claiming "As long as it's got a backbone, I'll do it". That story we reported last week, and have since discovered it to be untrue.

You do realise that some illegal drugs can damage your genetic structure, and being young you never consider that one day you will grow up and want children.
A few things to know about hardline drugs..
Premature biths are higher.
Birth defects are higher..
A new born with withdrawal symtoms is a hard thing to witness.
And stillborns..
And yes, i`ve smoked pot, everyone I know has tried it at one time or another, have tried.
Crystal meth, my step-son used it a few years back, boy did I have my hands full, he wouldn`t eat or sleep while he was on that stuff.. He was on the road to self distruction, till we, (me and my wife) convinced him he needed help..
Now he has a full time job and is buying a house, he`s 22..

I've never taken a substance that causes a strong physical addiction and I never will. I'm old enough to know that I don't want children, so that isn't a worry for me. Crystal meth I know absolutely nothing about as it isn't a particularly easy drug to synthesize and so is non existent around my area, not that I'd try any drug that is manufactured anyway (other than hash).

I don't do drugs..not any kind....(I even only take medicinal drugs (like aspirin) only If my head is a bout to really blow)
I don't drink
I don't smoke

same here :blah:
However one of the funniest things that happened to me in the past year involved a druggie. A friend and I were waiting for our ride to take us home from school. She (my friend's mom) was running late so most of the other people had already left and the are we were in was relatively empty. Anyway, a guy named Peter who is well known at my school for getting in a lot of fights, walked over and asked us if we smoked. We responded that we didn't and then he said "Well yall should, smokin's good for ya, but not cigarettes, WEEEEEEED." It was all I could do to keep from laughing then and there; as soon as he left my friend and I laughed hysterically for a good 5 minutes. It was just so horribly clichéd, the exact situation they tell you about in first grade that you know will never be that simple.
I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs, btw.

I have no trouble handling alcohol or nicotin, but I think I will probably never try any true drug, 'cause I have a neural abnormity: the casing of my nerurons is not proper, so I had to take pills for it when I was little (it could have cause epilepsy, but I'm fine and watched NGE without a hitch).
Still I haven't seen my recent EEG, so I don't know if the problem has become nonexistent or it simply never caused any problem.
So for my part I stay away from drugs, 'casue it's possible one dose could put me down.

Slaps some hydrocortizone on his hands to stop the damn hives from itching...
Thank goodness for over the counter drugs.
All other forms of drugs (excluding perscriptions) have only served in destroying the few braincells I originally had.
Not a good thing for me, most definitely.

You HAD braincells? Wow.....:D:

I don't drink so much
I don't smoke

I've been drinking quite frequently, used to smoke a fair bit of weed every week or two, and did X once.
I don't do anything now. I'm trying to give up my drinking for religious reasons.
In all fairness though, alcohol seems to be more dangerous than weed.

I think anyone that has tried weed will tell you the same thing. I'm not giving up drinking per se but the past couple of weeks I just can't be doing with it anymore. I tried a half a pill of ectasy last saturday, never again. The comedown is absolutely horrible and I felt like killing myself well into monday morning at which point I started to come out of it.
I only tried it so that I can now tell my friends first hand that it isn't any good and that they should seriously either stop doing it or drastically cut back on the amount they are doing. Unfortunately it seems like they know best (idiots).

Phisiologically alcohol has the same effects as morphine.
That's the reason an alcoholist can't get over it.
