Which drugs have you used recreationally?

[Chris Meck]

As someone who spent most of their 20's and 30's as a touring musician criss-crossing the U.S. and Europe, most of them.

The only time I did meth was an accident; some asshole told me it was coke, which I immediately realized it was NOT. That sucked. Who wants to stay up for two days? I like my sleep. That shit destroys people fast. No thanks.

I watched heroin destroy people, so I steered clear of that.

At this point, I rarely even drink anymore, although I'm struggling with quitting smoking.

I had the same experience. Miserable is an understatement.

The main issue is that once you eliminate the need for food and sleep....you can get a TON of shit done. It's why I've come across people who first get into that shit and have the cleanest ****ing house ever. It's impossible to just chill. You need to be up and moving around.

Yeah it was amphetamines that allowed me to party all semester and then write a 25-page final literally overnight. The first few times you feel like Superman. There’s just a tipping point where the drug takes over and you become a zombie. It consumes you so much you go from being able to do everything to not being able to do anything in a matter of just a few weeks.

Yep. And the higher your tolerance gets...the more of it you need to just exist. Those times when I would finally sleep after being up for days....I was literally gone. You weren't waking me up for anything.

That's a big part of what got me to quit taking opiods. I was taking a weeks worth of pills in less than a day and it didn't have any effect on the pain I was in.

I took them for 2 years while I worked a midnight to eight shift as a network administrator, while working days at a farm for rent. At the same time taking college classes and helping to raise my family of three. Then, I jacked up my back, and my doctor gave me an unlimited prescription of muscle relaxers. Mix them together and I was ****ed up big time.

With the help of my wife, I was able to get a great daytime job programming for local company, and I actually dropped out of college, quit the farming job and weaned myself off the pills.

I’d still party with my close friends every once in awhile. I mean, they’d hand me 4 of something and tell me to take it easy, just one a day or something. Hell, I’d have all 4 ate by the end of the day. But now that I’ve got the bigC, just a toke or a half of a magic cookie every few days.

Although my doctors keep offering me shit to plug into my port I keep turning them down. Kinda takes the fun out of it.
