I obviously don't need to give the Mods permission to lock this thread if it is inappropriate, but I will gladly call it to their attention if they feel the need to do so, and I will not piss and moan about it, either. With that having been said, I was curious about the drug use of some posters. I don't mean right now, either; I specifically refer to growing up and/or in the past. Obviously you don't have to participate, but I've always been open about these things (in a matter-of-fact way, not in a bragging, "I'm so cool" way) and I hope others can be, too. I've included the age I was when I first tried the substance when I can remember, and I am excluding caffeine from the list because I don't consider it a "serious drug." YMMV. - Cigarettes (first at age 9, then at age 12, became a regular smoker at 14)
- Alcohol (age 10 - my sister [12 at the time] and her friend got a bottle of Peach Schnapps and "let" me have a shot; I didn't start drinking regularly at parties until late in my teens, and only became a regular drinker once I turned 21 and was able to buy it myself)
- Marijuana (age 14 - actually, I remember the exact date: 4/23/94, since it was just after my 14th birthday)
- LSD (age 15)
- Mushrooms (age 16)
- Cocaine (powder) (sometime around 16 or 17; I don't remember exactly)
- Mescaline (age 18)
- Peyote (age 18)
- Ecstasy (age 20; then again at age 25 - only one time each)
- OxyContin (age 21, in pill form; hated it, never did it again)
- Crack cocaine (age 25 - did this semi-regularly for about two months; quit on my own by not associating with certain people anymore)
I was also prescribed Ritalin at one point, and turned regular "supervised" dosage into crushing and snorting; I quit that shit the first time I O.D.'d. (I was at a friend's house and she forced me to puke it up; thankfully I didn't die or suffer any permanent damage.) I had addiction issues with the coke, and at various times in my life with pills, which is why if I ever need a doctor I am open and honest and tell him/her to only prescribe something if it's absolutely necessary. I'm almost 32 (in 11 days from this post) and all I do now is drink occasionally and smoke weed, although I've slowed down considerably with both of those. (mainly because my Medical MJ card expired on the first of the month and I haven't had the money to renew it.) I just recently quit smoking cigarettes, although I do like to smoke when I drink, and I haven't drank since I quit smoking, so we'll see how that goes. Now that I've spilled the beans, what about you? |

I don't remember any ages or dates.
Smoking. I've tried it but I never liked it. In my whole life time, I've never had a whole cigarette. Never got it and don't care for it.
Drinking. I only started after my 21st bday. I like it but I can go a while without. I can limit myself so I don't get all stupid and whatnot. However, if I want to? I can drink like a bastard and drink everyone under the table. I can do any shot you give me.
Weed. I like weed but just like drinking, I don't need to do it everyday. I'm also a cheap bastard. I won't pay for it. But if someone offers? Hell yea I'll be getting stoned as much as I can.
Cocaine. What can I tell ya? I fucking love coke. Me and my ex gf use to do it all night Friday into Saturday all the way till Sunday morning and finally crash. It's fucking awesome! The best part about doing coke? Is going to get it. You get very excited and doing that first line on your dealers counter while some hot coke whore gives you head for a bump while your girlfriend watches and does a line. One of my favorite things would be doing my friends wife from behind in my girlfriends bathroom while she's doing a line on the sink and my girl and buddy are in the living room wondering where we are. LOL what can i tell you? I'm a fucking bastard. But back to being cheap. I won't pay for it. My ex-girl would and I'd do the most. We broke up and I haven't done it in about 6 years. I can also kick a habit like that with no stinking rehab. However, those of us who know the smell, sometimes you can walk into a place and swear you can smell it. It brings me back and makes me want to do it again. But I won't. Till I meet the next hot coke whore who brings me back into that life!
Other than popping pain pills and drinking a six pack of beer and snorting riddlin in a Churchs day care washroom floor after fucking some girl. That's all I ever have done.

I can honestly say I'm straight edge.
The only drugs I've ever taken were prescription and the usual asprins and stuff and even those were rare and I took less than doctors told me to.
I've also never had alcohol of any kind.
Honestly A LOT of my family committed suicide while on drugs and I've lost a lot of relatives to alcohol related accidents which caused me to never want to try any of it.
I have been around others who were smoking pot though so I have had 2nd hand I guess

I've almost done weed before with my friend earlier this year to crash this lame Christian party that we were invited to at lunch. He was going to text his dealer and he texted his mom by accident and has been sober ever since.

Other than alcohol, which I try not to drink often (maybe a glass of wine a week), I've never felt like trying any drug. Partially because I'm simply not interested, and partially because I've had bad experiences with those who do use them.

Never tried smoking in my whole life, and never developed a taste for drinks. I cannot comprehend voluntarily inhaling smoke.
I don't like the concept of anything that alters your perception through chemicals. Only aspirin for legitimate pain.

Nothing.
EDIT: Actually, that's not completely true. I did have a few sips of alcohol when I was younger, but I've never drank in any serious capacity and I've since committed myself to a drug-free lifestyle.

I have never smoked, not even once just to try it. I have never done drugs and I drink maybe once a month. I have over indulged maybe 6 times in my life and I never drank before my 21st birthday

Don't remember the exact ages but my brother would let me light his cigarettes when I was young and I started regularly once I turned 18. Went to a few parties in high school and had a few drinks but never got outta control. Didn't start regularly drinking until after I turned 21. Tried weed for the first time last year and dug it enough that I'd try it again if I were at a party and someone offered but not enough to go looking for it or to smoke it alone.

I have never smoked a cigarette in my life. Not even one puff.
Alcohol: I was around 4 or 5. I used to drink Golden Pear with my grandfather on Sunday mornings. My drinking has been sporadic. I went a few years without touching alcohol. Lately, I'll have a couple of beers a few nights a week.
Weed: I smoked up for the first time when I was 16. I was around 20 the last time I smoked up. Honestly, weed never really did anything for me.
Steroids: My secret shame. I did steroids from aged 16-20. I would have done anything to become a pro hockey player. Sadly, my body gave out.
Mushrooms: Once when I was 17
Shisha: Everyday. It's what you do over here in the Middle East

Thanks for the honesty in your responses, everyone. And to the sXe's: thanks for not being judgmental against those of us who have not shared your lifestyle choices. By the looks of things, I'm the biggest druggie on the board. I'm also one of the oldest, though, and (not that it's an excuse) I've been through some bullshit - who hasn't, right? - that I tried to self-medicate. Shisha: Everyday. It's what you do over here in the Middle East What is this? Is it hashish/hash? One of my best friends in high school is from Norway (he moved back there a year or so after graduation) and he would smoke weed with us, but the last time I saw him (he came for a visit all the way back in 2003) he said that weed was "nothing compared to hash," so I imagine it's pretty popular on the other side of the world. |

Im a big drinker (Yeah Im a walking Irish stereotype), got into when I was 17 and now, as I approach my 27 bday I usually drink 3 times a week, and generally get wasted at lewast 1 of those.
I smoke a fair few cigarettes when Im drinking but I dont smoke aside from that.
As far as weed and hash, I havent done a lot but Ive done enough to know that while they give u a decent buzz I prefer alcohol. Started about 14, did it heavy over the winter holidays and then summer, pretty much snapped out of it after.
Almost tried extacy once as my 3 of my best friends were heavy into it and coke at various but I didnt bother in the end.
Fair play to the mods for letting this 1 go, im enjoying this topic

Marijuana is my drug of choice. Been doing it for the last 6 years. Hell, I'm stoned right now ;D
I've also tried Ecstacy, Ketamine, Psilocybin mushrooms, and LSD. Love mushrooms and LSD, Ecstacy and Ketamine didn't really do anything for me
Oh yeah, I hate alcohol and tobacco. I throw up whenever I have those two

I do sort of judge. Weed doesn't bother me at all, it's not dangerous and I think stoners are super cute, but the other drugs: I wouldn't hate anyone who does them, I'm not a dick, but I do hate the drugs and I could never date someone who does them. |

<-----Well...look at my name.
I drink about four times a week, ranging from "holy fuck sir" to "ahh a slight buzz, time for bed".
I honestly drink for enjoyment, and if I ever get to the point where I question if I'm enjoying myself, I will cut back.
I do smoke as well,and as par for the course, I smoke more when I drink. I'm also 36 and work about 10 hours a day, yeah I'mma beast.

My only weakness are Cuban cigars (yes, you can buy the genuine ones legally here, not the cheap copies made in Santo Domingo or Spain for the US market).
Other than that I drink a beer maybe once in three months and it has to be a good one (Weihenstephaner will do the trick) or else my stomach threatens to split in half.
Up to ten years ago I used to smoke marijuana once or so a month with my mates, they brought the stuff and I brought the food, then dealers started to import some weird crap and I gave up for good. Smoked hashish a few times but I never liked it, especially the laced stuff they used to sell around here. No idea what **** they must be selling now.
And that's all.

Well, as long as it's just "I could never date one" instead of "OMG you did coke? You're a terrible person!" then it's fine. (mainly because, as a lifelong heterosexual, I would never date you, either!)  And if there were more people with your mindset (i.e., "I have no use for weed, but I realize it's not dangerous and have no problem with those who enjoy it") I think the world in general would be a better place. |
