Drugs

[nailit]

Just watching a repeat of Jonathon Ross interview with Madonna (missed it the first time around) and the subject of drugs came up.
Made me think a bit, never thought of myself as a 'druggie' but thinking back Ive tried a few things
1) alcohol, as chronicled on this site ive got my issues
2) cigarettes, now a non smoker
3) cannabis, when I was younger. Little, never my choice of drug
(and now it starts getting a little introspective)
4) Heroin, once smoked while in prison, never touched it again
5) Glue sniffing, a couple of times in my youth
6) petrol sniffing. As above
7) poppers,....dont ask, I was young and inquisitive
8) Valium and other benzo's...I could quiet easily regain an addiction to these.

Im sure ive tried other things in my youth but cant recall right now but thats not important.
What have you tried and where are you at now?

1 and 2. Never big on either, so I do neither (Waits for the Grammar Police......).

[Mamyalynne]

1 & 2 , are my weaknesses.


3 Rarely when younger, didn't do much.

Others - tried Acid once (hated it) got spiked later (made me hate it more).

[Jackdaw33]

Grammar police say you are 100% correct. No further action required.

1 and 2 in moderation.....had friends in the sixties who tried Phyllosan but I wasn't brave enough......☺

Must admit, always had an aversion to hallucinagens. Always thought that there were something 'other wordly' about such experiences not to be trusted.

[Mamyalynne]

You were right in my very limited view.

Only 1, Rose wine is my weakness.

I was, unbeknownst to me, given ketamine for a minor hospital operation in the 1970s. I had a dreadful few days of hallucinations, nightmares and total confusion. Apart from that, which I could never remotely wish to repeat, I have not had the least desire to take artificial substances which might alter my mind or mood. Just give me a good book, good company, a log fire, a good meal, maybe.

Alcohol and nicotine were the drugs available when I was young. I smoked some cannabis but didn't think much of it.

[sandyRoe]

Phyllosan, was that the stuff that fortified the over 40s?

[woofgang]

Cigars in my youth, good cuban ones and milder dutch, haven't touched one for around 40 years. Various alcohols but almost always in moderation, can't tolerate as much as I used to, let alone drink enough to get even mildly drunk. I still do enjoy a drink but not even every week let alone every day.

Alcohol...though not anywhere neare the amount I once did.

Cannabis ... Just the once, when in Rome. (Amsterdam actually but I'm sure you get the drift)

That's it, I'm a good boy really.

[andres]

nothing !!

[gness]

It was, Sandy....friends reckoned if it fortified the over forties think what it could do for a sixteen year old.......☺

[sandyRoe]

Doesn't bear thinking about. You had a lucky escape. ☺

[-Talbot-]

You've never had a drink of alcohol, andres?

[tonyav]

Pyllosan !, light weight good job you didn't try the class a stuff Sanatogen.

[Sipowicz]

Sandy, Sanatogen!

[Sipowicz]

I stand corrected.

Computer whipped the answer away before I could say----In the fifties when out with my friends I would sit with a cigarette in my hand and pretend to smoke. As for the drink I used to feed the plants when I thought no-one was looking . At weddings I sip just a tiny amount for the toast and then leave the rest . Never wanted to try drugs of any kind . Having worked for years with druggies, alkies, glue sniffers etc. it puts you off .
