Yes. Many. Not often since I left grad school, but still occasionally.

have tried, but will not do again:
-cocaine, opium

will do rarely/on occasion:
-marijuana, mushrooms, ecstacy
-prescription drugs not prescribed to me including xanex, oxycontin(or other pain killer narcotics), muscle relaxers (i.e. flexaril) and tramadol

I've used alcohol and marijuana, but that's it. Marijuana didn't do a thing for me, and I've cut way back on alcohol since I was about 35. I'm now of the opinion that anything which alters your perceptions can't possibly be good for you. I wouldn't take drugs I don't need to survive any more than I would drink directly from the Hudson River. :p

Yeah, I've done drugs. I used to take a lot of amphetamines, those are fun, but after a while they start to suck, so no more. Uhhh I've taken like, cocaine, ecstasy, opium, pot, alcohol... lots of stuff. It's oodles of fun, but you can only do so much.

Weed 3 times... the last time i did it I had much better vision, but I felt pretty normal.

I've drank quite a few times, and it's probably a lot more damaging to my body than weed was...

I'll never do weed again, but I'll still drink, not enough to lose a liver though.
Brannamia
13-02-2006, 06:01
Yes...before I got married and became a mother, I did:
-Marijuana (for a few years)
-Methamphetamine (once)
-Cocaine (once)
-Psilocybin mushrooms (a few times)
-Peyote (a few times)
-LSD [acid] (a few times)
-PCP [angeldust] (once)
-Ecstasy (once)
But once I "grew up" I abandoned those vices for other, more mundane ones (like cigarettes and excessive amounts of coffee, and the occasional alcoholic beverage).

13-02-2006, 06:02
To be more specific than my previous post:

Drugs I use regularly: Marijuana (I used to smoke chronically, but have cut back greatly) and Hashish.
Drugs I use occasionally: LSD, mushrooms, LSA extracted from morning glory seeds, mescaline (I've only done mescaline once but would gladly use it again given an opportunity).
Drugs I used to use regularly but use no longer: amphetamines.
Drugs I have tried (once or several times) but do not use: opium, codeine, hydrocodone, and salvia (not illegal but certainly worth mentioning).

Opium is much healthier than alcohol, and it is easy to not get addicted to. I used it several times, have no desire to use it again, and actually gave away what was left of my opium when I got bored with it. Though I am sure that I'm unusual in not enjoying opium (I prefer drugs that cause substantial alterations to the mind and perceptions rather than just make me feel good).

wow, lets recap.

because of my opinions, i am now:

1. uptight about tokin up, when i don't care if anyone else does it, it's just i don't do any of that.

2. someone thinks that i am admitted to Jesus' Bible Church of the Temperate Chaste, when i don't even go to church or any of that.

wow, all because i think that drugs are bad.

Oh, an informed or reasonable anti-drug opinion can be considered as any informed and reasonable opinion is.

Ohh, the ever part... same thing, just on a larger scale. Pot all the time(whenever my friend has some, every couple days or so), never tried any other drugs, though I'm open(probably try some ecstacy soon).

Nearly all of em, at one time or another.

Cept for heroin.
Heroin is for fucking idiots, who all think that they will be the one guy who doesnt get hooked on it, and yet..surprise..they all do.

Coke...coke is for fools, not idiots.
A fifteen minute buzz, in trade for all the money you can manage to find.
Sweet!

Exstacy is stupid.
Far too dangerous for the benefit you recieve.
Theres plenty of drugs that give the same effect, or better, that wont kill you.

If you must do "drugs", I recommend weed, shrooms, and LSD.
None of em can kill you, and if you are careful about when, and where you do them, you can really learn a lot about yourself, and most importantly, have fun.

I simply choose not to take that kind of a risk.

E comes in pill form, and theres no way to know whats in it.
It could be anything.
Sure, theres that risk with any drug you buy off the street, but E can kill you.
It happens all the time.

I smoked weed 3 times. I would gladly do it again. The only illegal drug that should be made legal. Maybe Shrooms and LSD should be but I have never done them and don't know much about them.

I agree on that. Coffee, tea and chocolate are the strongest drugs I accept to take ;) My brain is too precious (at least for me :p) and fragile to be played with like that.

That say, I don't support drug criminalisation either.

i disagree... E didn't seem as dangerous as all that to me. its only dangerous if you don't know what you're doing with it, really.

but anyway, in answer to the OP, yes i have. smoked weed for three years - every day for the last year and a bit, and did E, shrooms, and the tinyest (free) bit of coke ever in the last year.
and now i do none of that. don't even drink any more :eek:

I'd agree with most of what you say; with one exception, LSD. Apart from the hard stuff that's the one drug I would advise a newbie to stay away from. It won't kill you but it could fuck up the rest of your life.

Pills aren't really a risk if you know exactly what you're getting, which is possible in the right places and situations.

My philosophy is that you can do whatever you want, as long as you know what you're getting into. I did a lot of research on every drug I've ever done, and have never had a bad trip. For newbies, and even for vets, I suggest taking a visit to http://www.erowid.org/ before trying anything new. Good luck and have a safe trip;)

Drugs? why not?
try everything at least one time, otherwise you're denying yourself a mental state that could change your whole point of view! Of couse there's dangers, but most good things in life come with risks. Know what you're doing, make sure the setting is right and you're right with yourself, and most importantly that you can trust the guy you just gave tenners to... and with these simple precautions some new ecstatic perspectives are anyones for the exploring...
btw I recommend 2ci (careful not to take too much), mdma (for special occasions) and mushrooms... ahh the lovely shroom :)

www.opioids.com Knowledges frees us.

"E" is also known as MDMA; the MA stands for methamphetamine, so please understand that there is an inherent unhealthfulness to this one in particular. Methamphetamines really are the most toxic and dangerous. I've taken E, and I will continue on rare occasion. I've also done straight meth, and now I have experiential knowledge in conjunction with pharmacological study. In fact, I've studied most everything I've encountered in this way; I actually find this a fascinating subject to study. Having majored in philosophy long ago, questions of subjective experience of reality thus interest me.

Marijuana is, of course, a medicine. Not everybody benefits from any particular medication, but it is indisputable that innumerably many benefit from this one. After 11 years of self-treatment, my adolescent angers have been contemplatively addressed and eradicated; I indulge in creative writing and learning Chinese; I am sociable, socially adaptable, and an independently living world traveler. I cannot deny the holism that demonstrates a relationship between my successes in life and my behavorial patterns which have brought me here.

I never did try crack, though. Heroin didn't hook me, but neither did cigarettes after 60 packs in three months. That's all ancient history. Everybody's body type is different. We oughtn't underestimate the body's resilience, nor the harmful effects of our lifestyles. I am a tremendously curious person who won't be stifled. I do recommend educating one's self about all things one consumes. One last thing about E, cocaine, and heroin: modern chemistry has blessed us with a new generation of treatments for the damaging come-downs often caused by these drugs; use of SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors) maintain the body's serotonin levels and prevent 'crashing' that makes many users very sick and inclines addiction. Methadone is obsolete (and differently as dangerous as heroin); don't take it! Ask for Temgesic or the generic, buprenorphine. This is the future of both treatment and recreation.
