Drugs!

[silver_fox]

Hi,

Further to a question from earlier today.....what are your experiences of drugs!

I've never really got into any drugs etc when I was younger as they were never really in my life. However, as I've got a bit older (30) I've become a bit curious, I don't know if I'm just at that funny age or whatever, but I've recently wanted to experiment (nothing hardcore!). Lots of my friends used cannabis when they were younger and some still do and none of them have become crack addicts etc. and like someone said earlier no-one ever died of an accidental hash overdose!!

I could quite easily buy some if I wanted to (not that I'd really know what to do with it!) but don't know if I should!

Hi A,
Truly, unless your in pain? at your age don't bother. I do have a big But though lol......
When in Amsterdam..... Get your butt over there, have a fantastic weekend and try a space cake.
My mum tried some just because I use it lol... she wanted to see what it was like. She's 64/65. I passed out as usual and she carried on watching tv. I heard her talking to dad quietly saying it hadn't done anything for her lmao......

Hi silver_fox, the only drug I have ever used is cannabis and I used to quite like it when I was at university but then one day I had a bit too much and had kept imagining my eyeballs had legs and were trying to run away from me. I started to panic because it lasted for ages and I kept thinking that my mind had been altered permanently and wouldn't go back to how it was lol. I don't smoke it anymore and haven't done for years. I've always been too scared to try anything else like acid or cocaine. I don't like the feeling of not being in control.

My experience of dope was basically crap and a waste of time and money. It was not fun, it was expensive, it made my mind cloudy, my throat dry, my short term memory go, and it gave me a headache. Give me a glass of wine anyday..

[raysparx1]

Just be very carefull, it can lead to something you don't want it to, my nephew was often taking cannabis, he is now a heroin addict, if you are of an addictive nature stay well away from any drug, it is a dangerous road to go down and ruins many lives.

My ex brother in law decided to make a batch of Dennis the Menace cup cakes (ready mix packet stuff) and as I had never tried hash before but wanted to give it ago he said he would put a little bit in the mixture, a group of us had planned to go to the cinema that evening, I was starving and helped myself to about 6 of these little chocolate cakes, i thought "This is having no effect on me whatsoever" and we made our way through town towards the cinema, we were early so decided to stop for a pizza - boy was I hungry !!! Then it hit me, queuing to get into the cinema I had the most terrible paranoia attack ever, I just froze to the spot and hence was so bad could not get into the cinema, my husband at the time decided we should head back home but my journey walking back through town was so funny - I was reminded that i was pointing and laughing at everyone and right in their face too!! Later in bed, I remember watching 'Shooting Stars' in 'colour' on a B&W portable TV set !!! I was so tired but everytime I tried to sleep I had the incredible sensation of falling from a great height, a truly weird experience indeed ! NO hangover though ! :-)

Had a couple of joints way back late 80's & drank when had them, was very sick on one occasion (the last). Would have space cake tho if went on hols to Amsterdam.! ;0)

Never tried illegal drugs. Never will.

Drugs are for the weak and lonely.

Death to the drug barons!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[silver_fox]

Joe,

While, I completely agree with the death to drug barons bit, I wasn't planning on staring an illegal drugs empire or selling stuff at the school gates, and I would suspect neither do the majority of otherso called 'soft' drug users!

Also, I am neither weak nor lonely, thanks! So far, I've got to 30yrs old, I don't smoke (never really have) and only really drink ocassionally (not a binge drinker either!) but was just curious about the feeling/effect that cannabis would have. I probably wouldn't smoke it but may have a 'space cake', if I don't like the effect, I will know and not be tempted to take it again especially as it is pretty much non-addictive, unlike alcohol, tabacco, etc!

A xXx

Don't start then.

Don't go over to the dark side.

The drugs don't work

Be pure.

I smoke pot. I am not lonely. I have friends that do and friends that don't.

I have in my life taken various forms of LSD, which I very much enjoyed in the 90s but every trip ended up with a big lot of paranoia and me generally coming down in floods of tear.

I took pills when they were E's. I have taken pills that aren't anything like the MDMA from the 90s.

Speed had totally the opposite effect on me and made me sleepy.

I have also had ketamine and cocaine and wow, look I came out the other side without becoming addicted to heroin. Experimenting with drugs when you are a teen is very, very normal. I would much, much prefer my sons to have one or two joints than go out in the town getting drunk and ending up getting glassed in a fight.

[Roughquest]

Personally I believe everyone should try most things once in their life, just for the experience, drugs, smoking, alcohol, sex lol - its very much up to the individual what happens after their 'experience' thereafter good or bad....if you dont try it you will forever be wondering ....

[laurence2]

I agree with joe-the-lion


Drugs ''ARE'' for the weak and lonely


I've no time for anyone who deals or takes drugs, Raysparxs just about summed it up, sorry your nephew has turned out that way Ray

[cazzz1975]

I agree with joe and laurence, there are too many lives blighted by use of "casual" drugs, however harmless they have been made to seem

[Reverandfunk]

I have the odd disco biscuit every now and then and give it me over alcohol anyday, �2.50 and I can have a good night and no hangover.

[Goodsoulette]

and Reverandfunk, do you ever end up so out oif it, you cant find your way home? Do you ever puke in the street? Get into fights?


The Law is all back to front!

[RATTER15]

The only drug I have used regularly is dope, I have never had a bad experience with it, you actually get a far better buzz than alcohol, it doesn't make you violent, you don't fall about the place looking like a complete fool, you don't get hangovers, and its cheaper than alcohol.

Despite what Joe says about being lonely, you will find that smoking dope is actually nearly as common place as drinking alcohol, its just people aren't so ready to admit to it and it is not openly displayed.

I was never lonely and I know many people who smoke dope regularly who also have large circles of friends!!

I was totally amazed who I found smoking dope when people opened up when they found out that I was smoking it.

I recently read figures suggesting that about 40% of our police force smoke dope to deal with the stress.

Like it or lump it smoking dope is safer and so much nicer than alcohol.

However I would not recommend that anybody experiment with any drug or alcohol, but cannabis is the safer option!!

Generally people experiencing bad or negative affects from cannabis is usually because it is a bad batch, this is why it should be legalised so it can then be controlled!!

[Reverandfunk]

Soulette, I have a great nite drink diet coke get home safely and am no trouble to anyone apart from my other half when I get in bed lol

[freak_unique]

Hey, Ive smoked dope but havent really had much of an effect on me, the most it ever hit me was at a festival when my friend baked some hash cookies , they were so strong i had about half of one and was rolling around on the floor laughing for ages that was ace!I prefer hash cakes/cookies to smoking it as I am a non smoker myself anyways.
Ive also done pills (e) and speed, I dont do them often anymore only special occasions!I hadnt done pills for about a year until I did some a few weeks ago, and i love speed but understand it is pretty bad for you.Also tried MDMA and ket but yeah...
If you do anything just stick to dope...anything else has far more consequences like paranoia, not knowing what the hell you're doing kinda thing.
Be safe x

Joe... you forgot the terminally ill in your "weak" speech. and yes, it can be a lonely path.

[Skreecheeboy]

I've got lots of friends that do it. Many of them are creative and all of us are strong willed enough not to get addicted. Addicts I will agree are weak willed but they make up a very small percentage of the population and are likely to include the high percentage of people that end up with psychological problems caused by drugs, I would suggest that these people only use drugs en route to getting help by way of a stop off and I don't think they are the only cause. Some people are cut out for them and some are not, I reckon I'm at least 2nd generation so perhaps I had a head start. I wouldn't recommend them to all though. Smoking is harmfull too, I have redeveloped the childhood asthma in recent years and smoking definately doesn't help although I do enjoy it when I smoke so it's hard to stop. I actually feel worse when I've not had a fag than I do when I'm on a comedown from alcohol or drugs.
