:dubious:
None. Lack of exposure is probably a big reason for not trying any of them. I am curious about them and their effects. I suppose I have some fear because some of the stereotypical delivery systems are unpalatable to me…I don’t want to smoke or snort anything and forget injecting with a needle. Maybe someone with more knowledge can set me straight on how they get drugs in their system in the first place. If the drug was in a brownie or a tasty drink I’d might give it a go.
I’ve never smoked anything but do drink alcoholic beverages occasionally.
You’re questioning Mr Hoover?
None.
None for me, too. I’ve never been much influenced by peer pressure, and my reality is good enough that I don’t seek to alter it.
I’ve often wondered - on cop shows it shows the buyer opening a bag of heroin (I presume - white powder) and tasting it to make sure it isn’t powered sugar or something. What does it taste like?

If it’s cocaine, their probably testing for a numbing effect. Put it in your mouth and it’s like novocaine.
Yeah. There’s absolutely nothing about recreational drug use that entices me.
I really enjoyed marijuana in my yoot and I’m looking forward to picking the habit back up in my impending retirement. Hopefully, by then it will be decriminalized for recreational purposes and available at legitimate commercial establishments.
I don’t know what you took but you can’t get mescaline on blotter paper and it’s very rarely found in pill form. It also requires a really big pill, this goes for both real and synthetic mescaline. So if you took a small pill or blotter, that’s one way to rule it out. Of course, even if what you got was in a big pill that still doesn’t mean that it was mescaline, but if it wasn’t you can be sure that it either wasn’t mescaline or it wasn’t enough to have any effect. Cite.
Out of curiosity, I tried pot twice back in the mid-70s. One of those times I coughed so hard I thought my shoes would appear; the other time, the addition of rum to the experience made me sick as a dog. Bad experience all around and I had no interest after that.
Where’s bath salts? cuz they’re kicking in now and I get for the goal in car face my god stars in envelope guns!!!
(just weed for myself)
I smoke tobacco anyway, and I don’t mind the odd joint, but it is a very occasional thing nowadays. The one thing that I wish I could recreate, and the fun that was to be had at the time, is a proper pure MDMA E (X, I suppose, in North America). What larks they were, what larks, and sadly twenty years ago. I’d have to lie in bed for a week to recover at this age.
That reminds me of this guy losing his mind after a bit of salvia. The pertinent part starts at 1:00 and ends at 1:30. Kinda funny, a bit more scary IMO.
You’ll take my caffeine over my frenetic, jittery body.
Well, actually, even though I do drink alcohol sometimes I have to say that I don’t really like the taste of wine all that much. I do drink beer though, but I’m very selective about it.
First of all, I’m not one who has never tried any mind-altering substance – I do drink alcohol once in awhile, usually as beer. But I haven’t been drunk in ages, mainly because I don’t really like the sensation of being drunk.
I’ve never tried any other kinds of drugs because, frankly, I’m scared of them. I’m scared of the very idea of mind-altering substances. The way people talk about what they experience when under their influence – it sounds like being under the spell of a magician. Or what one experiences during a dream. And I hate dreams. I hate the whole idea of dreams. I’m happy when I wake up not remembering my dreams, because when I remember them, they’re usually bad.
In other words, the first time I were to take LSD, say, I’m sure I would have a bad trip.
I drink 1-2 drinks 2x per month and you’re seriously going to compare that to experimenting with illegal drugs? Let’s start with the fact that I can’t go to prison for drinking.
Look, rationalize your decision to get high all you want, I can’t stop you. I just think it’s fucking stupid and I avoid drug users the same way I avoid people who like Nickelback. One of the consequences of getting high is that not everybody thinks it’s neat or cool or interesting or worthwhile. Some drug users in this thread have been ridiculously sanctimonious about their drug use, which just makes it sound even more eye-rollingly stupid.
Pot, once. All it did was make me feel hung over for a very long time. I hated every second of it. Never did it again.
Don’t know much about them, but they scare the shit out of me. One of my husband’s colleagues was beaten to death by her long-time boyfriend while he was high on bath salts. I don’t think he had a fucking clue what he was doing.
