Which drugs have you used recreationally?

[ThaVirus]

There’s a debate in DC right now that’s got me a bit curious about the people’s drug use.

I’m going to play fast and loose on what is considered a drug and how they’re grouped/separated. If you have tried any of these options, even once, please note it in the poll options.

Also, feel free to discuss anything drug related as non-politically as possible.

Except what will it take to trade up for a tackle.

Nicotine/Tobacco/Vaping:
Started smoking cigarettes in HS. Smoked all through college until shortly after I got married the 2nd time. I got into this place where I only needed nicotine to sleep so I got down to 1 cigarette a day, right before bed, for several years. Then I quit altogether, which last about 10 years. I just couldn't shake it though and started vaping a couple of years ago. My vaping habit is pretty bad - I go through a ton of liquid and it's all 12mg which is the highest concentration they sell here.

Alcohol:
Had my first beer in HS. Drank heavily in college, especially when I lived in Germany. But I've never really been "addicted" to booze and I actually don't enjoy being drunk so I drink socially and infrequently now.

Cannabis: My 2nd love after my wife. LOL. I started smoking pot in HS, too. I've smoked it ever since - about 35 years now. I quit or smoked sparingly (and secretly) for 15 years while my kids were growing up but other than that period, I've been a daily consumer my entire adult life.

Cocaine: Snorted my share but that's the extent of cocaine for me. No freebasing, no injecting, no crack.

Meth: This was the worst for me and I already mentioned what it's like. You start out feeling like a super hero and end up looking like Gollum. Fortunately for me, I had an opportunity to move to a country where it simply wasn't a "thing", which forced me to kick it cold turkey. Haven't done any meth in over 20 years and that include ADHD meds, which I have been on.

Inhalants: The extent of my huffing was Whip It's but dear God do I love those things. One, the make everything intensely weird for about 20 seconds. We use to call it "talking to Mr. Wavy Man" because everything had like strobe effect and it wasn't just light, it was sound too.

Shrooms: Yes, please. Actually had a bite of a shroom candy bar recently. It was fun but I don't do shrooms on the regular anymore.

LSD: I've actually done more LSD more than shrooms. Overall, I'd say 90% of my trips were positive, fun experiences. That 10% thought can be some awful shit at the time you're going through it. The hangover usually isn't fun either, it makes your back hurt something fierce. I honestly don't think I could do it at my age and still have fun so I've never tried.

Mescaline: Tried it once, very confusing. Can't remember anything really either.

Prescription Opioids: Hasn't everybody taken them at this point? If not illegally, surely you've had a script. Some doctors still hand them out like candy. Hell, my daughter got 7 days of oxy for having her wisdom teeth out. I've never abused them recreationally but I've taken quite a few over the years.

Benzos: More on this later, but I have taken prescription benzos of every sort. I've abused them on occasion but mostly I've gotten them from docs. I've taken Ativan, Valium, Xanax, and Clonopin that I can remember.

Molly: Only once. Felt too much like meth for me. Not sure I'd do it again.

Speed: As explained earlier, if you've done meth, you've done "speed". Before I was introduced to meth, we used to take white crosses, which I think were pure ephedrine.

Other: So this is where my story really starts. I started having issues at about 13 or 14 which prompted my parents to send me to a shrink. Since that time 37 years ago, I've taken probably 3 dozen SSRI's, MAOI's, antipsychotics, and other "mood" meds, including the aforementioned benzos and Adderall.

MY STRUGGLES WITH DRUG ADDICTION STARTED IN A PHARMACY.\

My very first script was an MAOI - amitryptilene. I was supposed to take it at bedtime but I had insomnia too so many times, I couldn't fall asleep until after it had really kicked in. It was a weird form on euphoria that I felt, I can't really place it now after all these years, I just know it didn't take me long to figure out I could take a couple in the middle of the day and have "fun". With a couple of years, I was drinking, smoking, and smoking weed. A couple of years later, it was coke and then meth. And I continued to abuse prescription psychiatric drugs the whole time as well.

So there it is - my story is an open book.

If the Molly felt like meth, I question whether it was really Molly.

For a long time, I've recommended mixing in a bit of MDMA/Ecstacy/Molly (whatever name it is going by) when doing psychedelics.

LSD and Ex, called it candy tripping BITD.

If you really have clean MDMA, which with all the Fentanyl is a huge concern anymore..., it is almost impossible to have a 'bad' trip unless the acid itself is bad.

Shrooms are probably a safer bet in that regard.

A roadside sobriety test.

[FlaChief58]

When I was young and immortal, I tried coke and ecstasy a few times. Didn't care for either. I quit smoking cigarettes/ vape 5 years ago and still drink occasionally. I have a medical marijuana card, so I use daily, mostly in the form of edibles

Yeah, I just can't do anything that resembles amphetamines anymore. I can't even take Sudafed, just makes me feel sick. I never even got to the head trip when I did MDMA, I was so physically ill I couldn't focus. And for the record, that was MY reaction to it and so far, nobody I know has had that happen to them.

I've been in the modular classroom business for a long time. We had few buildings in Columbia, MO for several years. On this one unit the AC kept going out so we had to do service on it over and over. I was up there with my AC guy one day and the maintenance man at that school told us there was some kids coming down and huffing the freon out of it. Huffing freon.....

molly + shrooms = hippie flipping
molly + acid = candy flipping
molly + shrooms + acid = jedi flipping

I feel you. Honestly, video games have helped me tremendously.

I’ll typically play something or an hour or two immediately after work every day to unwind before I move onto other things. There are days when I have other plans and am not able to play after work and thankfully I don’t notice any negative mental health effects on those particular days, but overall I think the gaming does a good job in helping me manage the stresses of the job.

Aaaaand actually, now that we’re on the topic, I remember that I did try weed gummies maybe 3-4 times a few months back. My sleep quality has taken a ****ing nosedive over the last few years and I was hoping the gummies might help me get back on track. I tried the natural ones and synthetic ones. Natural ones didn’t do enough for me to continue and the synthetic ones were weird af. Idk if I took too much or what but every time I’d fall asleep, I’d snap awake with my heart racing. It was a miserable experience.

Funny but I wanted to distinguish the difference due to cannabis and prescription pills being on the list.

Video games and weed, the 2 things I do immediately after logging off for the day.

Meth at 25% is surprising, but cocaine is over 50%?

I had already moved from snorting to freebasing, and as I watched this poor bastard shoot coke into his arm and say that it was the only way he could enjoy it now, a little voice inside my head said "HEY DUMBASS UNLESS YOU QUIT THIS IS YOUR FUTURE." I think it was just a couple of weeks later that I gave it up for good.

I’ve dabbled in Prestone antifreeze, but you have to be very careful with the dosage.
