My one experience with coke was a blast. It was such fun that I swore to never touch the stuff again… and haven’t.
LSD… yup, liked that shit. For the value-conscious drug user, LSD was hard to beat - $5 to get fucked up for 10 hours? Why the hell not? 
Pot was the only one I’ve had trouble stopping the use of - really, really enjoyed it. One thing I noticed when I stopped smoking weed (and I smoked it like cigs) was that I started dreaming again… weird, huh?
Well, Cliff knew his drugs, and if he says the second batch was good [for whatever value of good you like] I believe him.
I know people who swear that aleve is the best OTC NSAID ever, and for me it might as well be blue M&Ms. Different people have different metabolisms and drugs affect them each differently. My roomie adores codeine if she gets an injury, it is no better than a generic aspirin to me - I’ll take a hit of torodol at the ER and use tramadol or vicoden at home [depending on what the injury is and the pain level.] When I had my hysterectomy, I didn’t take any painkillers for the overnight, and a single dose of vicoden for the 75 mile drive home, then nothing more than 800 mg ibuprofen during the next 3 weeks then nothing after that. I have also been told I have an insanely high chronic pain tolerance thanks to living with a pretty battered body for the past 30 years. About the only thing that cripples me is a migraine, if I can’t get the frova down fast enough.
I’ve taken acid twice, loved it the first time. Second time was alright but I wish I had taken it alone and not with 5 people. I think it’s one of those drugs that affects everyone differently. I tripped the fuck out the first time. My friends that took it didn’t seem as affected by it, sadly. Possibly because they were lame and looking for the experience, whereas I took it with the thought that I had no idea what to expect. I, too, have no idea how someone could take this in public!
I’ve taken shrooms six times, I like them,but nothing compared to lsd. And lsd’s much cheaper.
Took speed probably around 160 times my first year of college. Never again. Though I do miss it.
Pot, of course. My old best friend is a dealer. Had to say goodbye when I gave it up. Got too paranoid, and honestly, I was smoking about 2 gs to an eigth every day for two years. Not a great moment when you realize you don’t remember much of the last 2 years. Plus I hate what it’s done to my dad. Paranoid (as it will to most everyone eventually, even if they don’t notice it) to complete denial now that he’s older.
Just my experiences. Glad to say I’ve been clean for awhile now.
I tried everything except prescription drugs and heroin. Then I turned 25 and realized I wasn’t superman decided to stop using almost all of them. I don’t think marijuana should be illegal and consider it a healthier alternative over alcohol especially when used with a vaporizer.
When I was a teen I tried most everything. I remember back when meth was just coming around and it was called crystal, everyone I knew was getting it. I tried it a few times but it wasn’t my thing. I wonder if it wasn’t as strong back then? To me it felt like a bad coke buzz.
Dropped acid several times. Lived in a crack house for about a year smoking heroin/crack/meth everyday. Snorted coke too many times to count. Did X once (not my thing).
Yes - coke, a couple times. Ugly stuff, coke is - I felt paranoid the whole time I was up, but when I came down, for some reason, I just wanted moremoremore.
Did quite a bit of mushrooms if that counts; also LSD a couple times. As bad as the coke was, I think the worst “hard” drug (which I classify as anything harder than pot) was when a neighbor offered me a joint, which tasted like ass and made me feel really thick-headed - I asked him what kind it was and he says “Oh, I put some opium in - do you like it?”.
No, I didn’t like it. Not one bit. I couldn’t think straight for a couple days.
Haven’t touched any illicit substances in over 15 years, though - beer is my intoxicant of choice these days.
Did mushrooms about three times, tasted horrible but the effect was interesting.
Never did any harddrugs but as a dutch resident I did smoke about 3 kilos of marijuana in the course of about 10 years. Gave that up because it got me nowhere(literally).
No. Drinking was always my abuse of choice.
I voted yes because I have done LSD a few times (a long, long time ago now), but, like many of the other posters here, I think it is very different from the other things on the OP’s list. I would not touch, and never would have touched, any of those others.
I’ve done weed and acid. Neither was as remotely destructive as my addiction to legal, prescription uppers and downers. I’d smoke and drop a million times before doing pills again.
**Chiro and Larry Mudd’s **experience pretty much mirrors mine. I won’t rehash every thing now but in brief, Cocaine. Wow ten foot tall and invincible and invisible. I am talking to you and anticipating what you will say, Concurrently, I have checked out the girl slightly to my right and think her shoes doesn’t match her outfit, ( think I noticed her a few days ago in the mall too)I can hear the conversations of everyone around me ( but my ego dismisses them as mundane) You feel very much in control.
Crack or free base cocaine was different I felt more mellow but still totally in charge. Sex on Crack is amazing. ( well for me anyway… need to track down that particular partner and ask her for her version hehehe!)
MDMA (Ecstasy. wow. the complete opposite, your ego has gone away, everything is good and so beautiful, you don’t see an angry guy you don’t see an ugly person, every sensation is amazingly mellow and empathetic. The air you breathe tastes so good, walking is such a rewarding experience. ( wow my legs are so cool!) You don’t want to drink alcohol you just want to experience clean fresh tastes. Music and lights are amazingly powerful and seem to to be designed just for you.
Ketamine. The bastard who gave me that telling me it was Ecstasy, should be strung up. Felt anesthetized but my vision was distorted in a way that I didn’t think possible and find it hard to describe. I was standing outside a church trying to get it together to walk home and the church kept shrinking to a few inches tall and I couldn’t figure out how to get around it! Fortunately I was with friends who chaperoned me home.
Acid (LSD) well the strawberry blotters were pretty cool everything was so bright and shiny. You feel pretty wired and alert but you could easily drift off into a mode where weird visuals took over your concentration.
Green rocket Acid blotters. Wow so pleased I just took a half. just just barely hang on to reality, wrapped up in questions such as “why am I here? whats my significance in this universe? And come to that what is the significance of the universe?”
Heroin. (smoked not injected.) The first hit made me really really mellow and relaxed. It lasted about 3-5 minutes. The second hit took me to a lower level, not mellow but more sloppy drunk, it also made me want to vomit. For the next few hours I was anesthetized but couldn’t sleep. No chance of an erection which only made me more pissed off. Didn’t go back there again.
Speed ( American Amphetamine?) never liked it much, sure it sobered you up and made you hyper but it just made me speak at 100 mph and chew my own teeth!)
Shrooms. Not too shabby at all really, but I was always introspective with them. Couldn’t really be assed to inter-relate with others.
Legal Highs
Ephedrine. This shit was awful! seriously seriously awful. if I moved suddenly, my heart rate would increase terribly, felt anxious, stressed and paranoid. couldn’t even talk without getting anxious. didn’t revisit that.
Salvia Divinorum. Hahahaha! is this shit really legal? Wow. apart from the fact it is a very harsh smoke The trip is the most intense ( albeit short lived 2-3 minutes) trip of my life. Complete disassociation from your self, surroundings and timeframe, the trip was so vivid but my only real recollection of it was when it was wearing off. I always felt that I was being called home and that this life was not real, just an experiment. You know that scene in the original terminator, where the bad guy just morphs out of the floor behind the dud at the coffee machine? Thats how it felt, I was just joining another world and was confused as to where I had been and where I was going. Very intense.
Absolutely IMHO not a recreational drug Don’t do this at home folks, ( but if you do do it then only do it at home!) The best bit about this was discussing the intense trip afterwards with other participants.
Haven’t touched anything for over 15 years now. Miss it sometimes but older, wiser and all that stuff
No. I’m mildly curious but have no interest in traveling down that road.
No time like the present! 
I tried to try LSD fifteen years ago. A friend’s acquaintance gave me a tab, I took it, waited all night for the colours but nothing happened. I guess she was just pulling my leg, but I never followed up on it.
Anything else, no. I’m curious, but not that curious.
The side effects of the drugs prescribed for my asthma in my youth was enough to keep me away from the non-prescribed hard stuff. Also, watching a brother freaking out on something unspecified, reinforced the resolution.
Soft stuff? 'nother story.
I’m fine with cigars and Newcastle.
Nope. I know opiates would be my drug of choice, if I were stupid enough to become an addict, but it’s easy enough for me to resist. I will never even consider hard drugs at this point in my life.
I’ve never done LSD or other hallucinogens, and doubt I ever will, but I am curious.
I’ve done pot plenty of times, but not so much since I’ve been married w/children. I really enjoy it though. It just makes everything so damn interesting. I’m easily bored though, so maybe that’s why I like it so much.
Alcohol just makes me feel like shit, and speed or barbiturates have zero appeal. Tobacco can give you a nice buzz if you’re not a smoker, but it’s not worth the stink or your lungs feeling like they’re shriveling up at all.
Nobody’s mentioned inhalants, nitrous oxide “laughing gas” is the most addictive thing I have ever done, the only drug that I woke up the next morning thinking I want some more, now. Stolen ether from the chem lab was good, but nothing like nitrous.
I marked no, but I just remembered I’ve tried E before. It make me jittery and sweaty like too much coffee for about an hour, then I didn’t feel tired for about 12 hours. Not wired, not high, just laying in bed at 4 AM going "well this sucks!"Everyone I tell this to says “You got some shitty E” but I’ve not really been that interested in trying it again. I tried a Vicodin once recreationally, it gave me an upset stomach and dizziness. I can do that any time I want, that’s not fun!
