Be it weed, pills, glue, meth, accidental, on purpose.. Did you ever get high? What was your experience like? Good ? Bad?

Did you get the munchies?

Did you ever get high?

Of course. As often as possible.

What was your experience like?

As always, a treat.

Did you get the munchies?

Sometimes.

I get stoned a fair bit, I've done mushrooms a couple of times, I took an E once and I'm going to a coke party for my friend apparently.

Of the three I've done, I'd only recommend weed, although the shrooms and the E barely did anything (even though a couple of others got fucked on the pills, so I'm assuming they were OK).

EDIT: Oh, and I've only ever had two bad experiences with pot, both times after being so pissed I couldn't walk. And yes, the munchies are an infrequent but welcome addition to the fun. :)

Did you get the munchies?
Give me a minute and I'll tell you.

Did you ever get high?
Nope, despite more opportunities than I can remember. I try very hard to avoid putting dangerous substances into my body. It's done good service for me up to now and I owe it a bit of respect.

You're making me sad, because I don't even know when I'm going to be able to procure again...

Smoke the weed like people have glasses of wine.

'Shrums on special occasions. Very special (since everything has to be cool or it f's up the whole deal for me...)

From age 15 to mid-16 I did drugs, a lot, whether it be crystal meth to pot. However, since mid-16 I haven't touched anything and I never plan on touching any of that crap again.

I can safely report that, one piece of pistachio halva, the butt-end of a chocolate rabbit, one quartered fuji apple and a thick slab of old cheddar, one fresh-baked, toasted, sesame-seed bagel with whipped cream cheese and a small pile of lox later -

that I haven't got the munchies at all. :p

*belches*

Obviously not. What was I thinking..

Well, it's honest anyway. Can't ask for better than that.

crystal meth
Holy fuck dude, that's quite heavy. What's it like?

yeah i've tried weed and i've been really drunk a few times. thanks to good genetics, i can hold my liquor really well. but it takes a lot to get me high.

Holy fuck dude, that's quite heavy. What's it like?

You get really really hyper, really really happy, and you lose any appetite what so ever. Your a bouncing ball of idiot for 12 hours, and then you turn into a depressed, hungry, catatonic asshole.

Sounds like pills a bit, only longer lasting.

EDIT: Although that's only secondary information.

It's heavy alright....heavily used by loads of people. It's like new coke. Only its a hell of a lot more toxic. And these meth labs blowing up all over the place. People make the crap in their bath tubs and whatnot. They busted a lab in the next town over and they had small babies there. The children were taken into protective custody and they were in poor health. They hadnt had baths in over a month. The mother told the police that her boyfriend was using all the tubs and sinks for meth production and she couldnt give her baby a bath. :rolleyes:

I am so kicking her ass when she gets out of jail. Did I just ruin everyone's high? Sorry.

I know about crystal meth, I just didn't know what the effects were. I could have googled it, but someone with firsthand experience was present, as it were.

Before university, I honestly never thought I would even try a Class A drug (UK classification system) (http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/drugs/drugs-law/Class-a-b-c/). Things change, I suppose.
I haven't tried most of them, you understand, just Ecstacy.

haha....you certainly oughta.


I got high back in the day. I was the worst pot smoker. I couldnt roll a joint and people always bitched when I passed it to them because I always got the paper wet. I tried coke once. Dont know what all the fuss is about that honestly. It just made me......the best driver in the world. I was scared of all that other stuff. When I was younger,my mom told me a story about someone losing their mind after doing acid,and ending up in a mental hopital, so I said to hell with that.

The people that create meth, and the people that use it care about nothing more then themselves, money, and a long lasting high. Once a meth lab is in a home, people can't live in there ever again because the fumes (and therefore chemicals) seep into the walls, flooring, and just about anything else that is in the home and it is in there forever unless everything, including the wall, is changed (and even then you run the risk of having a contaminated frame). People who do meth and those that sell it are a bunch of asses that should feel guilty every single time another little kid dies because a family moved into an old lab without knowing they did.

However, as I know, people who do it (including myself) just don't care at the time.

oddly enough, cocaine not getting you high can be a sign of ADD, because it will act like ritalin

Anyway I've smoked pot, and done shrooms...nothing else as of now. No real interest in the really hard stuff. I blame it on Requiem For A Dream.

I've done...well, almost everything.

Pot- still do occasionally. I get the munchies every once and a while, depends on what quality herb I get.

X- every once in a while, maybe, say, three times a year. As long as you get good stuff and don't do anything stupid like drink alcohol with it, it's great. And as long as you are with good friends. It just has a bad rep because if you don't drink WATER with it you can get really dehydrated and overheat. Also, it's chemical name is similar to Meth, so people mistakinly think it is meth or a meth derivative. Which it is not.

Shrooms- again, maybe just a few times a year. Best for when you are with friends you don't mind getting silly with. I don't like drinking shroom tea though because it gives me a nasty headache for some reason.

Acid- haven't done it since high school, didn't really care for it. Always made my spine hurt.

Coke- All it does to me is make me want more of it. I think, hey, another line, and this will feel great! Of course, after that line I think...well, maybe just a little more and I'll feel good...and after that...and so on. Problem is, I never get to that point where I feel anything but a desire to do more.

Percocet/Oxycontin, etc- I had been on these for years. I have a chronic disease (Crohn's Disease)which the doctors throw pain pills at me for. I used to love em, but got hooked on them a few years ago, just trying to stay out of pain. Since then, they have NO effect on me at all, so I don't bother. I'm on to Morphine Sulfate now, which is ok for pain, but thats about it. Ultram (trammadol) is ok as well for pain, but again, no high. To get "high" on a narcotic/pain drug I need injected morphine, which they'll only give me in the hospital.

Heroin- I tried once. It sucks. I felt great for five minutes. Then threw up for 30 minutes and felt like I was going to die for the next four hours.

Opium- good thing to lace a joint with, or burn with a little pot in a bowl. Very smooth and mellow, but by itself not particularly great. Needs some kind bud to give it more kick.

Peyote- Kinda a cross between Acid and mushrooms, but lasts A LOT longer. Interesting, but not something I'd do very often. Best to do alone or with one or two other people you can hang out in the woods or something with. Don't do it if you feel anything but great, because that ingrown toenail or papercut will feel like you're being tortured in the Inquisition once it kicks in. Seriously.

Never tried meth or crack.

I love that movie.

Goddamn, man - you people sure know how to kill a good buzz... I'm talking lox and bagels, and all I hear is dying babies and ADD. Yeesh.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

LOL....sorry Bob.

Okay, I'll just be Little Goody Two-Shoes. It's a bad job, but somebody has to do it.

I've never done any drugs whatsoever except alcohol. And while I drank my share back in high school, these days I hardly ever drink alcohol, simply because I actually don't like most of it very much. If it's something really yummy though, keep it coming.

I never smoked because both my parents smoked, and I hated how they'd smoke even in the car (it was the early 80s, everybody did that) and my sister and I were sitting in the back seat and hating it. And then she started smoking too, the little traitor.

And because I never smoked, pot never appealed to me, I guess.

Several boyfriends smoked pot (and most smoked), so it doesn't bother me at all, I just don't want to do it myself. Well, I did want to try it once when my boyfriend at the time had gotten some hash cookies from Holland (I mean, hello, cookies sounded a lot more enticing than a smoke :p), but he wouldn't let me because he said he couldn't tell how strong they were and since I'd never tried it before yaddayaddayadda (nah, he was a good one really), so I still haven't tried it.


I would never do hard drugs, though. And I've had too much experience with alcoholism in my family to ever want a piece of that.

I smoke weed.

I've tried xanax, didn't take enough I guess.

Painkillers whenever I get the chance. The last time I did em it was valium or generic stuff. Fucked my body up, I was like jello. But mentally I was sober, it was weird..

I actually use to huff, don't do it anymore.

I use to pop dramamine, I thought it was a great high but everyone told me they had a bad experience with it.

I'd like to try coke once. I dunno..

Thats great WYTYG! Doesnt make you a goody two shoes.:)

Xanex just makes me sleepy. But some people like to take sleeping pills and feel "great" while they are fighting off the drowsyness, so I guess it's similar to the people who like them. I don't care for them though.

Valium isn't a painkiller.

Ok. I guess it can make you lightheaded or something. But in my experience, NOTHING you can get over the counter (U.S.) is in any way worth taking to get a buzz.

I've been drunk a few times, but i don't drink that often, January was the last time i did, and that was only because we had a party on election night, and i only had one drink. I have never smoked cigarettes or pot or done any hard drugs because i've just never wanted to. It doesn't bother me if other people do though, i had a great time in university hanging out with some friends of mine who were all smoking pot, we wandered around until 5 AM and then made grilled cheese sandwiches. They had the munchies, i just love food and i can eat a lot, though you wouldn't know it by looking at me...lol.

There are some combinations that can do some things with Rx drugs, but you're right, in general, if it is OTC, then there aren't very good "high" benefits.

Diazepam [valium] is used to treat anxiety, acute alcohol withdrawal, and seizures. It is also used to relieve muscle spasms and to provide sedation before medical procedures. This medication belongs to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines which act on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect. It works by enhancing the effects of a certain natural chemical in the body (GABA).

OTHER USES: This medication may also be used to prevent extremely bad nightmares (night terrors).http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-11116-Valium.aspx?drugid=11116&drugname=Valium

Ohh ok, thats why I got it for getting my wisdom teeth out..

I got drunk on two occasions, the second time was to confirm the impression made the first time, which was that it was not worth the effort or the nausea.

I smoked pot a couple of times, it was interesting, but not interesting enough to want to keep doing it. I had the munchies - I ate a whole Marie Callendar's strawberry pie, a quart of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and a bag of oreos. Never again.

if you felt like you were going to vomit, you had too much too fast. Learn your tolerance, and you'll enjoy it much more.

Nope, despite more opportunities than I can remember. I try very hard to avoid putting dangerous substances into my body. It's done good service for me up to now and I owe it a bit of respect.
So, you drink alcohol don't you?:p

I've never been high and I never plan to be high, the reason is rather straightforward and simple. Not a lot of people are willing to accept this reason.

I just don't have the desire to. There's no allure in drugs for me. It's never been something I've thought about doing, and if offered, I'd probably turn it down with a good natured laugh.

You give me any alcoholic beverage though, and you're my new best friend. Either that or coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Yeah. I got high once in 1978....



and stayed that way until 1997...

Does it have to be chemical? Because I have some strobe light and music visualizer of Beethoven stories, but otherwise no.

I feel nearly the same way as you do. I drink alcohol in small amounts, never enough to get me drunk in the slightest. I rarely take even medical drugs, as I don't need them and am allergic to most painkillers, it seems.

But, I'm afraid I'm not quite so good natured as you. I swear... the next time someone offers me drugs...

Now now. He didn't pressure you. He was just being friendly and sharing. The polite response would be "no thanks, not for me." At which point most peple would say, "thats cool, I'll see you later man", or some other such chit chat. Now, if he came back with pressure or riducule or other such peer pressure instruments, I would understand your angry response.

You go gurlfren! Dont mind me, i hit insanity around 1:25am.. i just freaked out because i thought someone was shining a flashlight at me thru the window... it was the moon.. :rolleyes:

Ill take that hash btw.

I have gotten high on a large number of things as a teenager, and as bad as that was I am glad i got it out of the way then as opposed to being a drunk now, or something worse.
I have kids and a wife and i have done all the things that I could do, and can say I have and be content I survived and have only pleasant memories of my own good luck in the face of my immense stupidity.

I have smoked pot(stopped when I was 16)

The first drug I actually used was LSD when I was 13.

I started stealing liquor from a friend of mines father's liquor cabinet at about age 11.

I dosed on acid(LSD) and smoked weed, drunk herculean amounts of the foulest cheapest drinks one could procure.

I've smoked PCP

I've snorted cocaine, crystal, and heroine(no not all at once).

I have taken (orally or snorting) any variety of prescription medication(yes you can crush pills and snort them).

I have taken mescaline, smoked hash, opium, I have drank scoop, and turned down CAT.

I have taken Ecstacy--pooey.

I loved mushrooms, though would never do them again.

I have done some other things I would not wantto mention for the safety of younf readers who might decide to duplicate my behavior.

I never 'huffed' I always used drugs, huffing paint or gas or whatever just seemed weak. I know I know, an elitist 'high on' but all 'High Ons' are.


Bottom line, I was avery lucky individual--I have on more then one occasion had to give CPR to friends.

I have on more then one occasion stoped the gang rape of passed out females.

I have witnessed two murders for certain--possibly three.

I have associated with kidnappers(of adults), theives, crackheads, thugs, backbitters and bumblefecks.

I have no redeeming stories about enlightenment or any such tripe as that.

The only useful thing I can say about my drug use is that I can spot a user from a mile away--so my children will not be able to get away with what I got away with--at least until then learn to fool me.


Getting high is stupid, I wasted my best years chasing a buzz instead of really enjoying myself.
While I dont regret it now(because I dont regret who I am) I wouldnt suggest it as a means of doing anything but fecking up your life.

True.

It's gotten a little bad though where I am (Northwest Washington state, a little town called Ferndale), especially at my school. Last time someone offered me pot, he was quite insulting when I turned him down. Peer pressure doesn't really effect me, but he was looking pretty threatening... so I.. um.. hurt him.

I have had bad experiences with druggies. But I was kidding about the stabbing part. I'm actually a friendly person. Really!

On an aside note: It's really quite funny when people (at my school) think they're hiding the fact that they're smoking cigs or pot. As if people can't smell the smoke... They are always so surprised when I question them about it.

Ok, well, the highlighted section is where your gang-rape killer kidnapping crackhead stuff comes in to play. Even coke is too "hollywood" for that these days.

Hell, I used to deal pot and X, (just to friends and associates, but still) and I NEVER encountered that seedy underbed of society. There is a not-at-all-fine line between having fun, partying a little (or even a lot)and entering the "giving handjobs for crack" life of a crack/PCP/Meth/heroin addict you describe.

Heheh... as soon as I find a way to stab people over the internet, I'll get back to you. ;)
haha


and no worries. Tis all in good fun.

but seriously...you want some?:eek:
Don't hurt me:( ;)

Agreed...those full-blown addicts give us average pot-heads a bad name! :p

Seriously though, I've tried it all except Heroin and PCP, and the only thing I bother with anymore is pot.

If weed were legal, I don't think I would drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes anymore. I wouldn't have the need.

Oh, and I don't get the munchies very often, but I often get the WORST cottonmouth. :D

Nope, never have nor plan to.

Honestly can't say I dont ponder it, but the part of me that wants complete clearity in my head and complete control over my body consistently has stopped me.

Whatever you say Pablo.

Oh, and any time you like, come to Detroit and I will take you downtown....see what happens when you try to get a handjob from a crackhead.
I tell your parents where the medical examiners office is, ahead of time.

Have good night Mr.Escobar.

Yes. Off life...

Wow, that was an extremely condescending post. One that not only contained a thinly veiled racist remark, but displayed a total lack of knowledge of South Park! Egads, they let just anyone is here don't they? :p

Perhaps I should counter with a Reagan Administration Propoganda Machine Victim comment? Or a not-so-subtle implication that a former post was merely the fabrication I believe it to be?

Nah, I won't do that. Unlike some people, I not only keep an open mind, but I also try to be polite.

Be it weed, pills, glue, meth, accidental, on purpose.. Did you ever get high? What was your experience like? Good ? Bad?

Did you get the munchies?
yup, smoked pot nearly every day (every day i could... ran out sometimes of course) for about 2 years at uni, and did it a fair bit for a year before that, too. always got the munchies, yeah.

also done beans a fair bit as well, but usually as like a giant caffiene rush to get more stoned. used to know this family who grew barnfulls of weed and going round theirs was a case of getting mondo stoned, popping some pills, waking up a bit and toking some more... we once smoked nearly non-stop from about 6pm to 9am the next morning :p
helped we had this 4 foot hookah water pipe, heh (and a bucket of nederhash from amsterdam... mmm ak47 and orange buds rule!)

also did shrooms once, but they didn't agree with me - was mostly ok but then i freaked out and things got bad for a while. oh and coke feels nasty - besides i'm not really one for stimulants :P

sometimes i miss the drugs and stuff. especially the weed - times when i'm bored or would like to be relaxing with buddies, toking away like the old days. but i used drugs back then as pure escapism - not for recreation or enjoyment... i was kinda trying to sedate myself heh - cos of depression, and i'm only getting better out of the depression now i'm off the drugs and can deal with things properly. i might go back to toking one day in the future, recreationally, as at one time i did actually enjoy it, but i'm not sure (and i certainly wouldn't do it as much as i once did - just smoke a j like a glass of wine in the evening... not waking up and having a joint within 10 minutes of being up :headbang: )


but I often get the WORST cottonmouth. :D
oh yeah, definatley :S

I smoke weed now and then and I like it, I always get the munchies too which = more chocolate = goodness!

I've tried mushrooms twice. They were fun. I've tried MDMA (ecstasy) once, and that was amazingly brilliant, like an hour-long orgasm. However, I won't say "do it" because it's highly risky. If you do, make sure that you have 2 litres of water with you and drink it steadily throughout your high. It is vitally important to drink water if ever on E, because it dehydrates you a lot. Most people who have died on E died of dehydration. Of course, don't drink too much then you could die of water intoxication.

not quite true (as i understand it). the problem with E is your body loses ability to regulate its water propensity and internal heat regulation (not completely but it's not as good as it should be). the best thing you can do on E is drink normally. if you're dancing and being active, drink as you would if you weren't on E (that is, plenty of water). you won't feel thirsty but you have to remember to do it. same with if you're not being particularly active, just drink normally - i found having a glass of water by me and taking a good gulp every so often worked well. no need to have too much water (you can't regulate it, remember, so you can have too much), or a specific 2 litres or whatever, just drink as you would if you weren't high.
best not to drink alcohol while you're on it, so i hear, but we were fine with that (helps you sleep through the comedown ;))

Yes. It was alcohol. I consider it to be a drug much like all the others, except that it is legal to purchase for some people.

Aside from that, I've only gotten high on the most potent drug of all....


... your mom.

not quite true (as i understand it). the problem with E is your body loses ability to regulate its water propensity and internal heat regulation (not completely but it's not as good as it should be). the best thing you can do on E is drink normally. if you're dancing and being active, drink as you would if you weren't on E (that is, plenty of water). you won't feel thirsty but you have to remember to do it. same with if you're not being particularly active, just drink normally - i found having a glass of water by me and taking a good gulp every so often worked well. no need to have too much water (you can't regulate it, remember, so you can have too much), or a specific 2 litres or whatever, just drink as you would if you weren't high.
best not to drink alcohol while you're on it, so i hear, but we were fine with that (helps you sleep through the comedown ;))
I tried to do E without a crowd it wasn't as cool. And since I didn't like the big crowds or the music, and the chances of having that kind of enviroment where they're playing funk/free/third stream/jazz and experimental compositions-at least with crowds...and 'round here it's twenty bones. Not as worth it for me. Especially in a world that has 'shrums, which doesn't require crowds. (But does occasionally make me feel like I'm a character in the movie that no one addresses. During Fellowship of the Rings I thought I wanted to leave the theater but it turns out when I thought about it I just wanted to leave elf-land because they where freakin' my shit out...)

I smoke weed occasionally (whenever I can get my hands on some really...), and have taken 'shrooms and salvia in the past.

Weed's cool, I've never had any bad effects, and in my experience it's a great social drug. And yes, I've had the munchies - two 12" pizzas and a tub of Ben & Jerry's Peace of Cake was the worst (best? :p )

Shrooms are great if you're feeling silly and want to have some fun with your mates. Rolling around giggling on the floor while someone stares at static on the tv really does make sense at the time.

Only tried salvia once, and it had very little effect on me, despite one friend having an extremely bad trip (he looked terrified, and for about five minutes after he'd taken a hit we couldn't get any sense out of him), and another having a fantastic time off it. I'd try it again, but if it doesn't have any effect on me then, I wouldn't bother a third time.

salvia

oh yeah, forgot about that. what a load of shit. i just remember talking absolute bollocks and seeing this light in the tent swing back and forth in slow-mo for what seemed like 20 minutes. and that was it. shite.

And yes, I've had the munchies - two 12" pizzas and a tub of Ben & Jerry's Peace of Cake was the worst (best? :p )

hehe that's impressive! :p
the first time i got really stoned was when i bunked off a day of school with my mate jim, went round my house and he wasn't smoking any more, so i - as a noob - smoked an 8th of solid to myself in the afternoon. got the munchies real bad and wound up eating a big 200 gram bar of rich, dark chocolate and drinking 2 litres of pepsi to myself in the last 20 minutes before he had to leave.... and i spewed everywhere walking down the stairs :p
it was nasty :D

we'll i've never gone "clubbing" on E, so i don't know (i don't like big crowds either) but with a decent-sized group of friends, and your own music, it can be a lot of fun. especially with a load of weed. the E takes you up, the weed calms you back down and evens it all out, so you can get really stoned but still full of energy - works really well together imho. and (as i said before) with the E you can just keep toking without worrying about falling asleep on yourself...

and that's why shrooms didn't agree with me... freaking out. i remember being fine and tripping a little when all of a sudden i could 'feel' my back, like the texture on the bed under me was changing under me (and somehow i knew it was changing colour too, but i couldn't see that), which was weird... next thing i knew i felt like i was in a giant hole and i couldn't move. stayed there, terrified, for a few minutes until i got the energy to go throw up. not much fun, but the company wasn't great (a friend i didn't particularly get on with), and we weren't very active... could be better with good friends and fun things to do. but then i just didn't like my world being out of control like that, and they don't mix well with depression as it is... so i think i'll probably leave my shrooming there :(

Ah, good times, eh? :p
I always find it amusing when people tell stories where they made a tit of themselves, then finish up grinning inanely. I don't know if you are actually grinning inanely, but I imagine you had at least a bit of a smile going when you were typing that.

of course i was... and it still makes me laugh looking back on it :p
just laughing at myself, my own noobitude, thinking how i've been so much more stoned since then but remembering back then it was such a big deal... hehe yeah... *grins*

I did the shrums once when things in my life wheren't cool and that was my bad trip. Turns out things have to be going well and then I'm all gravy, it's good times. Things aren't then it's a total suck fest that you just wait to be over. I want to record my copies of Metropolis and Cabinet of Dr. Caligari with my actor buddies reading the cards because those movies are cool on 'shrums but the reading is a drag...

...though now that I think about it when I'm on shrums I could care less really-I should just play some cool as music and watch the movies...hmmm, got to get me some shrums...well, when I have more regular work and I know exactly how I'm going to move up to the next level in my career, otherwise that's all I'll think about...

My ultimate goal is for people to look back on my life and be amazed that I never did drugs. :)

Outrage!

You get really really hyper, really really happy, and you lose any appetite what so ever. Your a bouncing ball of idiot for 12 hours, and then you turn into a depressed, hungry, catatonic asshole.

Whoa! I get that way from drinking an entire six pack of Jolt cola in a single evening.

Love dope.

"When I find myself in times of trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me.
Speakin' words of wisdom;
Let it be."

I get high every night to balance me out - believe me, if you knew me before, you'd be rolling them for me. Hell, most of my friends do.

Also done shrooms. One summer a friend of mine grew a batch of colombian and a batch of thai in his wardrobe. Each week we'd pick the sunniest day and just lie down in the middle of our local park tripping out to music. We took big doses too, meaning we were pretty much unconscious for about three hours then would wake up and have truly extraordinary conversations. Magic.

I don't particularly feel the need to do anything else. I never take meds for illness, let alone fun, and most of the coke/crack dealers around here are scum. My friends have tried it in the past and found it dull. As far as I can see, if they don't think it's worth it (and they are massive hedonists) it probably isn't. I'd like to try acid, but finding a reliable supply hasn't proved easy. Pills seem far too erratic for me, plus I ain't a hyperactive club monkey so I'm skipping them as well.

I used to be a big drinker, but since I started smoking mamma maria that's largely fallen by the wayside. I figure I've got a fair shot at being a lifetime hippy waster and, quite frankly, the thought fills me with a quiet triumph.

Having parents who grew up with alcoholic parents telling me how horrible it was kinda turns me off of the idea of drinking. In theory I could, but the taste of alcohol is gross, so it would have to be mixed with non alcohol in such a diluted state that I couldn't get drunk without drinking a ton.

I may have been caffeine or sugar high, but that's it, and even that I'm not sure. Never had the urge to try anything else, and I doubt I ever will.


I have a coworker who used to make, use, and sell meth, and he can verify the description that Skibereen gave.
Also, one of the side effects of long-term use is that your teeth will fall out.

Shrooms. Real bad trip. That was fun. :rolleyes: Not that I wouldn't do it again; I just need to get the set & setting right.:p

Sounds like an alcopop.:p

I lub weeeeed and its so good for you too...or at least not horrible for you.


really though, id never touch anything else, shrooms, okay done once, not really that great...just love weed in all its forms.

I got high at parties a couple of times.

I wore shades for a year constantly and a blindfold to bed, now my eyesight is the UBER good in dark and i need shades during the day.

Thankyou cannabis for the stupidest idea ever.

I'm high on life. And weed. And beer.

Thank you cannabis for the stupidest idea ever.

It'll do that. You need to write down your ideas and examine them when sober. I use a mirror and permanant marker.

I got high from my cousin's second-hand pot smoke last year. His room was full of it.

I was light-headed and I got really hungry, but there was none of the pseudo-drunkenness. It was just me, my normal self, with a buzz and hell of an appetite.

I started smoking weed when I was 17 and only smoke it on special occasions.
I never used enough to get high of it.
I did how ever got high when I broke my clavicle and got too much painkillers (whilst I already drank alot that night)

A little piece of advice though for the ones that care.

If you use drugs stick with soft-drugs it's practicly the same as drinking.
Hard drugs will just lead to a decline.

Weed'll do that to you. The main difference between the weed experience and the alcohol experience for me is that alcohol makes me feel misplaced confidence (although nowhere near as much as coke) in my abilities to do things like hold a coherent conversation or walk in a straight line; I imagine thats why so many people drink and drive, they're convinced they can handle it. Whereas when i'm stoned i'm very much aware that my reactions are impaired.
Many people try weed when pissed (drunk for you non U.K. readers) and the feeling of being moderately stoned is easily masked by the feeling of being very drunk unless you are aware of what to expect. This gives rise to many people having stories like "It didn't really do much for me" or when they then have more, searching for that "drug" feeling that they expect to be powerful and profound because hey, its illegal. They end up "pulling a whitey" (People who have smoked too much at one time often go pale and sweaty and feel sick) and saying "Oh it just made me feel sick".

Few things give me quite so much pleasure as smoking a fat cone with a good friend or two, somewhere out in the countryside, and watching the sun go down.

I have also on a few occasions taken E, and after the great experience I had the first couple of times, each subsequent experience has been disappointing.

I have tried coke, and found it to be moreish and somewhat overrated, although maybe it was just poor coke.

I personally found salvia entertaining, odd perspective distortions and kaleidoscopic visuals with my eyes closed. ambience is all important. However many people I have talked to say its easy to have too much at one time.

Almost all of the problems associated with the majority of drugs (e.g. damage to teeth from crack or meth use is an exception) are caused or at least greatly exacerbated by the policy of prohibition, which puts control over supply and purity levels in the hands of criminals.

"Ever get high?"

I STAY high ... on life! :)

-snip-

Heh. Funny thing is, when I was high from that pot smoke, my motor skills weren't impaired in the least. I even went out to throw my football, and I was just as accurate as I am without the drug influence. I was sharp and attentive --- however, I didn't feel the need to blink nearly as often, I was jumped up (I got an adrenaline rush from it, rather than a calm feeling), and I was extremely hungry (I ate seven huge tamales in about three minutes).

I guess it's different for everyone, really.

Nope, despite more opportunities than I can remember. I try very hard to avoid putting dangerous substances into my body. It's done good service for me up to now and I owe it a bit of respect.

You know, most of what you've been told about the evil of drugs is just more government bullshit. There has been some real demonisation of drugs and today, people wander around harping on about the evils without knowing any of the facts. Don't believe everything you're told man! They lie to you about war, don't believe anything that the buggers say about anything else!. Most people believe that drug takers are sweaty people who sleep in their own shit, that is just total horseshit.

Furthermore, it pisses me off that I can't make my own choices and take whatever I feel I want to; bloody fascists. Democracy is a joke man.

Did anyone else here who smokes dope start out with a right wing/conservative ideology and find it gradually becoming much more left wing/liberal as they continued smoking?

Man, I woke up one day and started wondering who the hell I was. It took me three days of solid rational thought (with a brief switch from skunk to weed) before I was back on track.

weed was made illegal by racist anti-mexian politicians in the 1920s to give them an excuse to arrest vast numbers of mexican immigrants and deport them. it was then made illegal federally because of pressure from a powerful (and rich) family on the west coast who owned printing presses, and cheap hemp paper was undercutting their prices. it was then demonised by henry anslinger (i think it was henry), a christian fundamentalist who set out to launch a hate campaign against a herb that's been used recreationally, in medicine and in textiles and other industries for over 4,000 years without complaint. he brainwashed people and spread lies through mass-media... unfortunatley the most effective propoganda campaign ever, as his view is still held by millions around the world. the US exerted pressure on other countries for them to prohibit marijuana too.
only in the last 10 or 20 years has there been real scientific research into whether these lies are founded on any truth at all. so far, the results have not quite vindicated 'Reefer Madness'...

i could rant more but my show is on...

kinda... well, not really, but i did drift more leftwards (and become much more of a hippie!) when smoking :P

i was continually reassessing myself, the world, my ethics, morals, politics and pretty much everything while smoking. i couldn't stop thinking about that kind of shit :p

i swear you can't get high off second hand smoke man.
at least not properly high. smoke it properly and i'm sure you'd have a far more complete experience.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Problem is, would I really want to do it? It might be interesting to try it out, but I can't see myself really wanting to feel buzzed.

I quite like being sharp and focused.

I have tried marijuana on a number of occasions, and there was no effect on me whatsoever. I felt no different.

its like being drunk but it turns you into less of a wanker

in a way it focuses your mind, cos you can only really concentrate on one thing at a time while high - but i wouldn't say it sharpens you at all :P
and i wouldn't recommend doing any work while high either (you end up with some weird (and shit!) results :p)

Alcohol
weed
MDMA
ketamine
mushies
2c-i
2ct-21
LSD
cocaine (in that order)
Each have been tremendous fun, some have had comedowns, and the only one I ever got 'addicted' to? It was the weed :eek: ...

Nonetheless I will say legalisation all the way. Prohibition is not a morally defensible stance, because it punishes people for what they do to themselves.

Let's consider what some of these drugs do. For example, the main effects of MDMA and cocaine are to increase the availability of serotonin and dopamine respectively in your system. They don't even add anything, they just let your neurotransmitters flow more easily. Yet in the UK they can send you down for 7 years for possession... If that isn't persecution I don't know what is.

And before anyone wheels out the argument 'well you can choose not to take them', they should make the parallel with telling a gay person that they can choose not to be gay or a pregnant woman who wants an abortion that they could've chosen not to have sex. In all cases the argument is spurious, firstly because the government has no right to interfere on abstract moral grounds with personal choice, and secondly because certain personality traits predispose people to experiment with substances (e.g. sensation-seeking and schizotypy) just as a certain predetermined trait will make someone gay.

As for the detrimental effect on society argument, firstly we should compare these drugs to the big legal one alcohol, the substance with the greatest negative social impact, and secondly consider the problems that prohibition has caused from the massive inflating of prices that causes a very large percentage of property crimes in the western world. Not to mention the criminalisation of large amounts of people whose only crime was a choice to put a substance in their bodies.

An experiment was done on a kind of fish that swims in groups, whereby they gave one of the fish LSD. It started swimming differently, although it health was not adversely affected. The other fish attacked it for swimming differently. This is prohibition.

weed is boring, it just puts me to sleep

I tried coke once, it was enough fun that I thought I should probably never do it again. I don't have the money to be a cokehead.

I'm prescribed with Desoxyn(pill form of meth) and sometimes I'll take a whole lot of it to get high.

I've smoked pot only a few times.

And sometimes huff butane.

Edit: I forgot to mention I'm a real fat kid,:p I'm always hungry and even more so after smoking some pot!

Heh. Funny thing is, when I was high from that pot smoke, my motor skills weren't impaired in the least. I even went out to throw my football, and I was just as accurate as I am without the drug influence.
Well, you didn't actually smoke it so the effect would be considerably milder. Out of curiosity, what are Tamales?

"Ever get high?"

I STAY high ... on life! :)
And your old man drugs that they give you. :D

Did anyone else here who smokes dope start out with a right wing/conservative ideology and find it gradually becoming much more left wing/liberal as they continued smoking?

I think that most people who smoke weed think that weed should be legal. Otherwise I don't think it has any effect on politics.

Well, you didn't actually smoke it so the effect would be considerably milder. Out of curiosity, what are Tamales?

1: Yeah, no doubt. I think I'd try smoking it at least once... Whether or not I'll like the effect, I don't know.

2: I feel sorry for Ireland not having real Mexican food. Tamales are some of the best things you'll ever eat.

They're wraps that are filled with beef, beans, cheese, and various other things, depending on the recipe.

*drool*
it has been so long since I had a tamale

I have tried marijuana on a number of occasions, and there was no effect on me whatsoever. I felt no different.

You have to inhale you know. you are biologically human therefore you have receptors for THC to bind to within your nervous system. all carnivorous mammals that I know of do. There are three main explanations for your experience:

1. You were given some weed to smoke, you drew smoke into your mouth and not into your lungs therefore you did not absorb a significant quantity of the active ingredient. therefore really no effect.

2. you were given some crappy ditchweed/placebo to smoke. you felt no effect beyond that of any potential tobacco mixture. therefore no noticeable effect.

3. You have been told that weed is a potent and dangerous illegal drug, you pluck up the courage to try some of this devil's herb. you sit waiting for the powerful effects of this drug. you begin to feel a bit nervous and light headed. you focus hard and after about an hour this feeling passes. Surely that cant have been what being stoned is like, after all its a big scary illegal drug, i'd KNOW if i was stoned... must not have worked...

Basically if you've smoked/eaten even pasable quality weed, you've been stoned. The only explanations for you feeling nothing are:
1. you didn't do it right.
2. you didn't do enough or didn't know what to look for when you did.

If you do not smoke at all and were given a joint made with tobacco you would feel that it had done something to you, just as if a non-smoker had a commercial cigarette. Or you were under the influence of something else and failed to recognise the weedy-goodness for what it was.

Also big up to the anti prohibition guy a few posts back!
if only people would listen to the facts rather than the propaganda... <sigh> I wish could make myself believe in a god, then I could believe there was a special circle of hell set aside for Henry Anslinger. If anyone deserves it he does.

Be it weed, pills, glue, meth, accidental, on purpose.. Did you ever get high? What was your experience like? Good ? Bad?

Did you get the munchies?

Weed's great as long as its used for entertainment and not for evading problems.

E is great under the right circumstances. Sometimes, it barely affected me, other times, it hit me like a brick wall. I get warm feelings when I think about it, and then smile uncontrollably (like right now). Time really flew by to me on that stuff... five hours seemed like 15 minutes.

Shrooms were a waste of time to me.

2C-B is damn hard to find, but with e and weed, it's a great great time.

I don't mess with any of the hard stuff like crack, cocaine, meth, alcohol, heroin and cigarettes. Meth kills. I did have some oxy once, and it was stupid good, so I stopped.
