Your experiences with drugs.

In My Humble Opinion
21

I did the morning glory thing. I found a recipie that involved lighter fluid, jack daniels and some other stuff. It worked too. Vomiting was involved, it tore apart my stomach, but after that it was similar to an acid trip. If you think about an acid trip, you go up, plataeu for a while then come down for a few hours. This was like the coming down part. It wasn’t bad, just weird to go from sober to feeling like you are just coming off an acid trip plataeu.

We also extracted the oxycodone out of percocets, that was easy, but tasted AWFUL.

We extracted the DXM out of robotussin. That tasted worse then the oxy. It was also kind of unsetteling the first time since it involved a good amount of ammonia for part of the process.

Oh, and we extracted the THC out of pot and got it into capsule form.

22

:eek:

OK I guess that I wouldn’t try anything once. I’m sure that I’ve done drugs that involved some nasty chemical processing but not where I had to see it and really think about it.

23

If you can remember, you weren’t really using! :smiley:
Waaay back in the day, as an irresponsible youth:

Grass. Lots and lots of grass. No, more than that. It never got in the way of my businesses or relationships in any way. No huhu. It’s the only drug I kinda miss.

Coke. Several friends of mine were really into coke, and would be doing lines the second the shop closed. They were sharers, so I got more than a few lines myself. Never really did much for me except give me an alkaline taste in my mouth that I would kill with beer.

Acid. Again, friends with connections. Never did massive doses, just small amounts that made the afternoon more colorful. Ditto mushrooms.

Speed and its analogs never held any attraction for me. Neither did opiates in any form. I’ve lost friends and acquaintances to overdoses, so that path was not remotely interesting.

Haven’t had anything stronger than alcohol in over 25 years.

24

What drugs have you done/do?
Pot, acid, coke, PCP, nicotine, speed, barbituates, alchohol and opium (maybe). Since 1985 I’ve smoked pot maybe 4-5 times, other than that, just alchohol and nicotine (1 year clean on nicotine).
What is your favorite drug?
Alchohol
What was your best/worst trip?
Lots of bests, worst was smoking really good weed after not smoking any at all for about ten years. Had a very paranoid and self loathing type trip. Miserable.
What was your craziest mixture or most you’ve taken?
Did PCP a couple times without realizing that’s what it was. The most reality distorting drug I ever did, by far.
Any regrets?
I regret having had a reputation as a stoner more than actually having been one. I lived in a small town and everyone knew who was and who wasn’t.
Any advice for others?
No.

25

Drugs done: None for several years (except alcohol), but back in the day - mostly pot, some hash, alcohol, the odd shroom or two, coke a few times. pretty tame.

Favorite: probably hash, although I only had it a few times.

Best/worst trip - made the mistake of watching a WW2 film while on shrooms. Japanese were killing some prisoners by beheading them. Got pretty jumpy and paranoid, escpecially when the shadows in the corner of the room kept crawling toward me. There were thousands of spiders living in those shadows.

Craziest mixture - never mixed.

Regrets? - no, I think I tried a fair sampling, never too much, but enought that I don’t feel like I missed out on anything. I probably would have skipped the coke, but it was the early '80’s in Souther California, so it was practically a requirement. Gave me post-nasal drip and the jittes, but nothing else.

Advice for others? Not really, except stay safe. I’m not anyone’s guidance counselor.

26

What drugs have you done/do? – Pot (smoked, vaporized and eaten,) hash, opium (smoked and eaten,) coke (snorted, free based and injected–once as an experiment when I developed an allergy to the stuff,) meth (snorted only,) acid, 'shrooms, peyote, MDA, morphine, demerol (IV, sub-Q and oral,) alcohol, pretty much all the pharmaceuticals including Dexamyl, Dexedrine, valium, Talwin (best pill EVAR,) Fentanyl, oxycontin, demerol, Flexeril, Soma, Darvon, Darvocet, Percodan, Percocet, etc.

What is your favorite drug? – Pot and opium, preferably together. I like opiates a lot and plan on being a heavy duty heroin user if it ever gets to the point where I have terminal never-get-overs. I smoke pot pretty much all the time but I’ve been abstaining for the past couple months in anticipation of having to whiz quiz for a job. Just another reason why job hunting bites the bag!

What was your best/worst trip? – I’ve had some crazy acid and 'shroom experiences, never had a bad one that was bad because of me, but occasionally had somebody else freak out or be a real bummer. Oh, and I tried Paxil once and thought I was gonna die–it totally did not go well with my body chemistry! Other than that I can safely say that the worst drug experiences I’ve ever had, bar none, were resulting from overimbibing alcohol–it’s a terrible drug with bad side effects and a difficult dosing schedule. Thoroughly evil therapeutic ratio, to my mind.

What was your craziest mixture or most you’ve taken? – Had a sugar cube with a big dose of acid on it that I was splitting with a friend, she didn’t mix up the juice so well and I ended up with a humongous dose, it was hairy for a while but turned out okay.

Any regrets? – Not really, I’ve always been smart about my doping. Wouldn’t mind trying X if I could get the real deal, it would be interesting to see how it compares to MDA from back in the day.

Any advice for others? – Know thyself BEFORE thee go fucking about with crazy strong drugs, and never dose anyone who doesn’t know you’re doing it.

Stories? – Yup, but I ain’t gonna sit here and type for a month!

27

What drugs have you done/do?
Weed, LSD, Ecstasy.

**What is your favorite drug? **
Difficult. I love weed and there have been periods of my life when I smoked it all the time. But the rarer occasions on which I had LSD? The closest and most accurate word is ‘beautiful’. It’s either weed or LSD.

I was not that impressed by Ecstasy.
**
What was your best/worst trip?**
The first time I took LSD was pretty bad. My two friends and I could only get six tabs all up and we were told by the people we got them from that they were strongly laced, but not super-powerful and that even though none of us had taken it before, we’d all have a great time if we took two each. Well, we thought about just taking one each to test the waters but then we thought ‘What if one doesn’t do enough?’. Then we’d just be left with one each and the knowledge that one wasn’t enough. So we took two each.

Woah. It was OK to begin with, but the highest part of the high was terrifying and nauseating for all of us and seemed to last forever. Though as it calmed, we had a good time.

Apart from that, during a time when I was smoking massive amounts of weed everyday - I accidentally started thinking about death once. Then I couldn’t stop thinking about death. The finality of it, the nothingness of not-being, the unimaginable absence of ‘myself’ as an experience. I completely freaked myself out despite never having had trouble dealing with the concept of death before. I couldn’t stop thinking about it for months, sober or stoned. It’s only recently that I’ve managed to calm down.

What was your craziest mixture or most you’ve taken?
Nothing that crazy, probably the most weed I’ve had at one time would be an afternoon from about 1pm-6pm where we played a series of board games with all in-game counting and victories represented by tokes. As we got more stoned, there just seemed to be more reasons to toke! We went through an unimaginable amount of weed - just astonishing. We were all completely baked and basically smoked ourselves to sleep in the back garden, out on the grass, in the late afternoon summer sun. We all woke up at about 1am, covered in mosquito bites and feeling very ill. We recovered for a few minutes and then we played Monopoly. With tokes.

Any regrets?
I should definitely not have smoked so much so for so long. But I don’t regret ever using it at all, nor any other drug.

Any advice for others?
Figure out for yourself what your personal limit for any substance is. I have seen way to many people let others convince them to ‘have another pill’ or ‘have another toke’ when they’re clearly not sure how that extra pill or toke is going to make them feel. If you’re not sure you want any more, don’t have any more.

Stories?
My best stories are all about other people - I doubt they’d be identifiable from my telling, but I’m just more comfortable not telling.

*What drugs have you done/do?

I tried a few things in college and every once in a while a year or two after that. Alcohol, tobacco, pot, acid, shrooms, x, lsd, something like lsd that i forget the name of, dxm, one or two prescription things. I was never really into anything that you couldn’t swallow. Though I did try pot, I didn’t want to smoke, sniff, or inject anything. And I wasn’t really interested in uppers, downers, stimulants, etc. Just psychedelics.

*What is your favorite drug?

Maybe shrooms. I liked acid and x (and the acid like) too but they had longer ‘hangovers’ especially x. Dxm was the most powerful trip I was on, and the most ecstatic, but it was also exhausting, and I had one bad trip on that.

*What was your best/worst trip?

My best was probably my first acid trip, because I was with a group of people on campus and we went around exploring the camping and being silly and having fun. Although I almost got run over by a train :smack:

Most mindblowing involved dxm, and basically entered into a holodeck sort of mind state, a super ludic dreaming where anything I could imagine seemed real, and every pore of my body was filled with ecstacy and connected with the universe. The next day the drawing my little brother made seemed alive and animated. Movies on tv seemed to take on mythological significance. I felt a greater connection to everyone I talked with.

Worst was also on dxm. I was at home and had auditory hallucinations that my parents thought I was insane and were going to put me away in an institution.

*What was your craziest mixture or most you’ve taken?

A large amount of dxm created the most mindblowing trip.

I did have bad experiences with some sort of OTC anti sea sickness drug, which made it very hard for me to move, and another time I tried herbal X, which made me feel very ill and I had to stay in the bathtub all day til I felt better.

Any regrets?

I regret not getting to try DMT, which is sort of the holy grail of psychedelics, but very hard to come by. I also would have liked to try some other random things like peyote and ayuhusca. And I definitely would have liked to have done something in a more formal setting, like a native spiritual ceremony or somesuch.

Any advice for others?

Read, read read, and be aware of what you are doing. Use a sitter. Only buy from a reliable source. Don’t freak out when things get weird. If it’s your first time, take a smaller dose.

Man, some of y’all are HEAVY-DUTY compared to me:

In college, I got offered some diet pills called Desbutal (amphetamines) to help me cram for finals, but they also made me feel great, grind my teeth down to stubs and make me talk like a sumbitch.

I got hooked on those things and when it came time to crash I came down hard! Didn’t get out of bed for a week, as I remember.

Then tried smoking pot with a friend once, but as I don’t smoke anything, I didn’t really take to it at all. Interesting fish in my friend’s aquarium and Bob Dylan’s Blood On The Tracks are what I remember best during that one session.

That’s it.

Q

30

The only illegal drug I’ve used is weed. Three times, at ages 15, 19, and 25. I enjoyed the high, but every time I smoked I ended up violently sick (somebody suggested that I might be allergic to it), so I didn’t see any point in making a habit of it. The pleasure of the high wasn’t enough to offset the pain of the extended vomiting sessions that followed. This is the reason why, for a long time, I had a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that marijuana was medically useful for counteracting nausea.

From what I’ve heard of their effects, I’ve always thought I would really enjoy cocaine and LSD, which is why I made the specific decision not to try them. I feared I would like them way too much.

31

Hmmmm. Interesting. Back in my “smokin’ and tokin’ years”, one of the things I liked best about pot was that I could drink lots and lots of booze without puking as long as I smoked some weed!

Maybe you really do have some kind of allergic reaction to it!

32

What drugs have you done/do?

alcohol
caffine
nicotine
medical stuff when needed
pot and derivatives (hash, keef, hash oil, etc),
coke,
crack,
meth,
once I tood speed for a university test over a few weeks dunno what kind- wasn’t meth tho
acid (lsd and lsa),
ex,
mescaline,
shrooms,
various pills (benzodiazapines, opiates of various types, hypnotics),
salvia,
heroin once,
ketamine once
nitrous

I am sure there are others…

What is your favorite drug?

Depends in what manner you mean. Salvia if for spiritual connection, but it isn’t really pleasant in feeling. Percocet, straight hydrocodone and a muscle relaxer together was probably the best combination.

What was your best/worst trip?

Too many to discuss- never really had a bad trip tho, but some of them were not pleasant, just informative. Salvia isn’t physically fun at all, but the head stuff is really interesting.

What was your craziest mixture or most you’ve taken?

I don’t like speed and acid together, although I have used them to make life-changing decisions…

I was upset that I didn’t like heroin- I really like opiate pills, so I really thought I would enjoy it, but nope… I got high, I felt it, but it was more like being dizzy than feeling good. My friend really liked it, so it wasn’t the product.

Probably better rather than worse- heroin’s the scary stuff.

Any regrets?

Regrets for being too immature and underinformed to make good choices when much much younger, but not for breaking absurd drug laws.

Any advice for others?

READ. Verify!!! If you can, find a shaman- someone who can help you through the experiences and understands set and setting! This is rarely a drug dealer unless they are passing things along at cost and just providing the service to make their friends happy.

If you have to go it alone, then good luck, but DO NOT EVER DO SALVIA ALONE. You might be fine 99% of the time, but it can do strange things sometimes.

Stories?

I can talk your ear off, but I don’t want to type that long either…

33

That, and you’ll probably burn the house down (or at least burn your lap). I always told first time friends to take a couple of good hits and then set the pipe down, otherwise when the high comes on (for those who don’t know, you go from being sober to be REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY high in about 2 seconds), you’ll probably drop it on your lap. Oh, and make sure you’re sitting.

34

What drugs have you done/do?
I have just smoked pot.

What is your favorite drug?
Pot.

What was your best/worst trip?
My best trip was the first time I smoked. No paranoia or munchies - just general relaxed happiness. My worst trip was when I was high and got a phone call that a family member died.

What was your craziest mixture or most you’ve taken?
I really don’t go crazy. It’s a one-off sharing experience.

Any regrets?
I’m kinda disappointed that I waited a long while to try pot and yet I had been boozing since I was a teenager.

Any advice for others?
If you are an addictive personality, make sure your supplier lives far away. And also don’t decide to do drugs based upon emotions.

Stories?
After my first time smoking up, we ran errands at a local CVS the next day. I had no idea that I was high still. I wandered the aisles in a trance, found my friend eventually and said, “These aisle signs are freaking me out man!” I wound up accidentally buying a box of poker chips thinking it was a box of toothpaste.

35

I’ve never voluntarily done drugs. I saw way too many kids in high school turn themselves into cabbages on pot and other stuff and I decided that wasn’t for me.

I was given a loaded brownie as a joke once. He didn’t think it was so funny after I finished whipping his ass. And the pot didn’t really do anything for me.

36

Just Pot. I laughed alot…I mean ALOT! The wall looked hilarious at the time.

37

Smoked pot twice. Had nasty physical effects from it and never was inclined to attempt it again. One time I ended up comatose on the floor, fully consious but unable to move, the other time I was ok for about 20 minutes and then the muscles in my legs gave out and I nearly fell over. (held myself up by my arms on a counter)

38

A friend of mine works at a little fab shop where the owner has a very strict drug testing program. You have to bring in some of your drugs and he’ll test them to see if they’re any good. It must be neat working for a cool boss.

39

What drugs have you done/do?
Have tried many but really just use pot at this point in my life

What is your favorite drug?
Pot by far

What was your best/worst trip?
4 hits of Jerry Garcia acid, story FAR too long for this thread

What was your craziest mixture or most you’ve taken?
I don’t mix drugs very often though I was known to try both extasy and LSD at the same time

Any regrets?
Not really, just wish pot was legal so I wasn’'t made to feel like a criminal

Any advice for others?
Take it slow

Stories?
endless, but maybe for its own thread rather than here

I’ve never taken any illegal form of drug, and I don’t drink alcohol or smoke. I have diet coke now and again. I’ve never really been in a situation where I could have taken something, and I dont like the taste of alcohol.

I do take ephedrine everyday to help with my workouts and running. It does the job- I have overbubbling energy and can do twice what I normally do without it.
