I've abused everything I could get my hands on including prescribed medicines. My drug of choice became Ketamine, incredible stuff.

Now my only vices are alcohol and the occaisional eaten weed.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you've got regarding drugs.

Don't know if you were only referring to the young ones here or not Debra, but......

I remember way way back when "pot" parties didn't start until after 9:00 p.m. so as to avoid getting busted by parents or unexpected visitors. :p Narcs were quite popular, at least in my area, for befriending and then busting pot/drug users, and one was always suspicious of any newcomer. You're not a Narc are you Debra???? :p

Anyway, I put "soft" drugs (pot,in my youth), although I did try "Chocolate Mesc" once and hated it. I was moving at 100 miles an hour. Couldn't stand it.

I've never taken an illegal drug in my life. I've been offered pot on many occasions, but never even took a puff. For starters, I hate smoking and secondly, I hate the smell of pot.

The only way I could see using marijuana for myself is if I had to undergo chemotherapy or for another medical purpose.

If i told you that i would have to kill you :p

Ive tried pot twice. I didn't like it the first time, so I thought I'd give it another try. Didn't like it the second time either.

In fact, the second time I used it, I was so fucked up I ended up tripping and falling off my deck, and tearing ligaments in my ankle. Since then, I haven't touched the stuff.

I still have the occasional drink, though.

I used to do marijuanna. I still do (from time to time every blue moon) but I used to as well. I do enjoy a few beers every now and then and I don't really see anything wrong with that or with smoking weed, provided it does not affect the lives of those around you in a negative manner. I smoke cigarettes and I hope to one day quit, but as any smoker or ex smoker knows, that is much easier said than accomplished. I used to smoke weed more in high school and drink a lot more hard liquor and such. I was immature and stupid as we pretty much all are during high school. But hey, I made it out ok and I learned from it. I've never done any hard drugs (crack/cocaine, heroin, meth, E etc.) but people who do such drugs are gonna do them whether they are illegal and tightly restricted or completely legal and in the open. Vices like (soft) drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gambling and prostitution should be legalized, regulated by the government in a responsible manner and taxed. That's what I think anyway...

I drink and smoke pot some times. Will never do any other drug, unless I can get my hands on some painkillers.

Sounds like were all a bunch of Junkies

Lol! Lol! @ DE NIRO's comment! Hey, Patty, if you want I could get you some vicadin man. It's good for what ails you brother. :p

My dentist prescribed me Vicodin when I had a tooth cut out. I don't know if it actually made the pain go away, but damn if it didn't make me feel good!

Hey, xXx_Don_C., I just noticed your quote under the avatar is from Nirvana's In Bloom. "Sell the kids for food, weather changes moods...spring is here again...He's the one, who likes all our pretty songs, and he, likes to sing along, and he, loves to shoot his gun, but he, don't know what means...when I sing it...! Great line, great song!

I'm not a druggie, what with the military and all, but I will tell you about some cool medical drugs. Morphine for starters, duh. I dislocated my kneecap a week ago, had to get rushed to the ER. If I wasn't in so much pain from the dislocation, the morphine probably would have had a "better" effect, what little it did for the EXTREME pain was hardly noticible. What DOES rule though is Triopental. It's a barbituate, actually one of the things used in lethal injections from what I've read. Mind you this was a much smaller dose. Anyways, it knocks you out in about 30 seconds, woo! Last thing I remember is watching the nurse inject the stuff into the IV, then I guess I went under, they fixed my knee...and coming to was cool. Y'know how you feel when your foot's asleep? Well imagine that...but everywhere! You're flopping around like a fish and your vision is swimming and your mouth is going all nuts like that scene from "Bruce Almighty" when Bruce made the news anchor talk gibberish.

My H.S. buddy and her husband were absolute drug fiends. For the first 10 years of their marriage (and probably before that) they just HAD to get high every night...it was their way of winding down from the regular chores of the day. I remember them being quite concerned on several occassions when they couldn't reach their 'contact'.

Only when they began having children did they cut down. But not for long...

When they relocated from NJ to MA (after the birth of their 2 children), a priority was establishing a NEW 'contact'.

I used to wonder what the heck the big deal was.

Anyway, my vote was never tried and never will.

I never tried any kind of drugs. I don't smoke. I don't drink Vodka. I almost don't drink alcohol at all. Will you talk to me after that?

Around here, the only thing that warrants complete shutout and condemnation is not having read 'The Godfather'.

Trust me, they'll hound you about it until you comply.

Then, they'll start bugging you about 'The Sopranos'.

No drinking? No drugs? NO PROBLEM!

I haven't tried any drugs. I have smoked cigarette just once and drink occasionally, but I am not in the young member category as well.

I recently quit smoking. I was a huge fan of Lucky Strike until my blood pressure went up, now I'm off those.

I do drink. A lot. My drink of choice being Rum or Bourbon. I'll be a drinker my whole life.

As for pot, nope. Never tried it. I'm a writer and musician and a strict advocate of not using drugs to write or influence songs. I know what you are all gonna say, how can he be a fan of Hunter Thompson and Bob Dylan and the Beatles and not like pot for writing or music? Well, I just don't think it's genuine. When I write music or stories, I want them to be from my brain and result from my true emotions, not some drug-induced haze. I never write drunk either, tried it once, it's all gibberish. Though I do have to say I've recorded some great stuff with my buddies drunk.

I did have a period where I was addicted to Darvocet, a painkiller like Vikatin. I had a bunch of bottles of it left over from a throat condition and could not stop taking em for a few months, they were so great, until I could not write anymore that is.

The Doc

Tried drugs when i was younger but alcohol was always my thing....
Would rather have a pint of beer than a joint any time!
Each to their own though.

although I have seen several times people sniffing coke and smoking crack in front of me, I've never tried these ones myself. I've used speed many many times, which makes the exact same effect than cocaine, and I've tried glue, benflogin, chloroform and others inhalers but don't plan to use'em again.

now, as for alcohol (especially beer) and marijuana, I just don't see my life without them. I don't remember the last day I did not smoke a joint, and just last night I was drunk!
now, before the preaching, dissing and judging, let me defend myself saying that I've never repeated an year in school, and that it hasn't been affecting me much. for instance, I did make a test (I do law school) this morning (a morning after being drunk) and just passed it.

Smoking-wise, only cigarettes or cigars. I was never a smoker, considering I only tried them.

I do drink, and I do go to a few small parties a relative of mine starts. I actually enjoy being drunk, though I don't nearly do it enough to be an alcoholic.

I hate beer, though I do like flavored stuff, wine, and some whiskey.

You were lying all the time. This post proves you're no Russian!


I never used drugs, but sometimes I drink some beers, or champaign.

Alright, now I have more time. My favorite drinks are Jim Beam Black Whiskey and Labatt Blue Beer. And I used to be heavy into pot, but I only do it every now and then now.

I've never done a drug in my life, and I've never smoked a cigarette or anything. And I never will.

I do, however, drink. I've been raving about Rum & Coke lately. And of course my friend Vladimir Vodka.

Oh Bogzzz.. Vlad is so bad.. I drank a liter of that shit in less than 2 hours. Pissed myself numerous times. That shit tastes horrible. I'll never be the same with any kind of vodka after that.

Ah, but its cheap, and most certainly gets the job done.

If I'm not paying, I'll gladly drink Smirnoff, or whatever is handy.. but Vladi's not so bad if you mix it. :p I think I've actually acquired a taste for it.

Me, Turi, and Ferro all had a convo about this I think in the chatroom.

I'll take Rum and Coke over anything any day though. Mmmmm.

I like Crown and Dr. Pepper. Best mixture out there, IMO.

But then again, I like drinking whiskey without a chaser. I don't drink nearly as much as when I was a minor (imagine that! :rolleyes: ), but my drink of choice is definitely Crown Royal.

Crown and Coke (cola, not powder) is really good, too.

I'm not a big rum fan. The smell of it makes me nauseous.

And vodka translates to "worst f*cking hangover ever" for me.

Never drink Jungle Juice. Or you can drink it, but leave the cherries and pineapple alone. Just trust me on this one...

Jack Daniels spits in your eye, Pat.

I remember my first day moving in down here.. apparently all the frats and regular houses were having a competition to see who could scare away the most parents in the fastest time possible.

Everywhere you turned, there were signs for a Kegger.. and I saw a LOT of Jungle Juice signs.. $5 for entry.

My dad said back in the day the TKE frat (I think it was TKE) put up signs saying "Don't worry Dad, we'll take care of your daughter"... haha.

I never go out and drink though.. its always just with my friends.. not in the dorms of course. That would be against the rules.

I can say however that I can hold my liquor. I've never thrown up, passed out, or had a (bad) hangover. And its not because I don't drink enough, because trust me, I do. The dumbest thing I remember doing is trying to fit through my friend Tyler's doggie door. I didn't fit. One time I also apparently started walking (crying and stumbling) towards a police station. I wasn't familiar with the town and had no idea there was a police station there. Thankfully my friend Sean stopped me and leaned me against a telephone pole while he finished up his conversation. Oh good times, good times.

Yeah, I know Mary Jane. We still talk from time to time usually not more than one a week though.
I’ve done various illicit substances and scipts, I pretty much stop short or injectables.

I work to support my vices, and my vices allow me to stand the kind of work I do…it’s a vicious cycle.
