Drugs are another popular ATOT topic and I'm sure this is a repost but I haven't seen one recently. If you're curious I have never tried pot, meth, cocaine or any illegal drug for that matter. Nor do I smoke. The worst I've done is to get drunk once in a while and I've gotten very mildly high off of some over the counter prescription drugs (Gravol in this case which just makes you pleasantly dopey). My parents are not the NEVER do drugs or we will kill you type, while they definitely would not be happy to have me do drugs they aren't to concerned about the drugs themselves as any harm I would do to myself. I'm sure if I were to experiment a few times they would be worried but not overly concerned as long as nothing came of it. Now having said all this I have absolutely NO plan on doing hard drugs any time in the near or far future. I don't completely rule out the possibility of trying pot at some point in the future but I'm not seeking out the opportunity either. Having a family history of depression and anxiety though makes me think it might not be a good thing to try. I know that many ATOTers have experimented with drugs in their lives and I was just curious what became of the experience. Specifically

-How often did you experiment? Just a few times or did you get hooked for any period?

-What type of drugs did you experiment with?

-How old were you at the time?

-Was it a good or bad experience looking back on it. Has it left any permanent negative or positive mark on your life?

-How did you happen upon the contraband, ata friends house, party offered to you on the street etc??
 
I dont know how long this thread is going to stay open, but I'll answer your questions

-How often did you experiment? Just a few times or did you get hooked for any period?
I did it every once and a while, at parties, hanging out with friends. No way hooked by anymeans

-What type of drugs did you experiment with?
Just pot

-How old were you at the time?
First time I did it, I was 17 I think

-Was it a good or bad experience looking back on it. Has it left any permanent negative or positive mark on your life?
Looking back I'm sort of indifferent about it, it didnt change my life one way or the other. If I could go back and do it over again, I wouldnt change a thing.

-How did you happen upon the contraband, ata friends house, party offered to you on the street etc??
Friends always had it, never did it alone.
 
didn't read the post but, yes i have and you won't die. you will however, fail drug tests for a job and ruin your life.
 
pot... I was 20, hanging out at a bar with a guy that I was into to see his friends band... halfway through their set, we went outside so he could smoke a cigarette, and he pulled out a joint in the middle of the street, and we ended up sharing it. I don't smoke pot regularly, though. my general policy is, if it's in front of my face, I'll smoke it, but I'd never buy drugs myself.

never tried any other drugs, despite some friends best attempts... I don't even smoke cigarettes.
 

-How often did you experiment? Just a few times or did you get hooked for any period?
once...have never felt any kind of craving...ever..

-What type of drugs did you experiment with?
pot was the only illegal one (once)...ive done some salvia and other legal herbs...all fail in compairison though, lol
-How old were you at the time?
20

-Was it a good or bad experience looking back on it. Has it left any permanent negative or positive mark on your life?
i enjoyed it...i feel no effects...good or bad...it didnt change my life in some profound way...just made me feel good when i was high...however...i will say...the day after i never felt so damn lazy in my life (and i'm one lazy ass) didnt wana do anything...just felt like...sitting...all day, lol...
-How did you happen upon the contraband, ata friends house, party offered to you on the street etc??
well the pot was aquired through a friend...who was/is a longtime pothead...myself and other friends were looking to try for the first time...so he sung on over with all his tools and whatnot...it was a fun night...honestly...i enjoyed it much more than drinking...

i'm not constantly searching to get high or anything like that and i really dont feel i need too...however, if the oppurtunity came on me again, i prolly would not turn it down.

haha...so true...
i used to be hardcore anti-drugs (for myself, i never cared if others did it) until one day i figured life is full of experiences...and i would like a little taste of them all (good with the bad)...i suppose its not everyones cup of tea...but oh well..
 
Well, I smoke pot occasionally and I only tried it for the first time 2 years ago (I'm 23). I was always apprehensive about trying it (I'm a good boy 😉), but I was camping in the mountains with some friends next to a lake beneath a ****** gorgeous sky. Someone had a joint, so I tried it. Felt pretty good, nothing bad happened, so ever since then, I smoke up occasionally.

I don't do it a lot, probably less than 1 gram a month (which, by pothead standards, is nothing - I foten go months without smoking as well). I just toke up whenever the situation is right.. you know, relaxed environment, pink floyd, a funny movie, good friends etc. I do prefer it over drinking - its cheaper, it doesn't give you a hangover and its WAY more enjoyable - music is enhanced, food tastes 10x better than it does when sober, sometimes you can get some weak (but still neat) visuals and most importantly, it makes you think things you that simply don't enter you when you're sober.

Overall, a very positive experience, glad I tried it and I don't see a reason to stop smoking.

On a side note, I just don't get what others have against this. You know there's people on OT that think me and my friends should be imprisoned for life because yesterday we smoked up, watched south park and ate pizza?

see the second post.
 
Back in high school between my friends and I we did pretty much everything imaginable. Haven't really done anything except drink for a couple years but I'd say I had my fair share of the life experience of it. Gave me some valuable insight, as well as helping me write some fvcked up music ha! Since I've always been into science, I also have a fairly decent knowledge of various drugs and how they interact with each other. If you have any questions regarding you or someone else doing something or you just want to know what something will do to you, feel free to pm me.

Experimenting is just the first time 😉. I still regularly smoke, but never when I've got tests or whatever, and never when it can interfere with my personal life. Just a recreational smoker, you could say.

-What type of drugs did you experiment with?
Pot, and I once tried coke. But that was just once, and I won't do it again.

-How old were you at the time?
Pot, 13. Coke, 14. Something 'bad' happened when I took coke, which made the overall experience a negative one, hence my use of the stuff was limited to one time.

-Was it a good or bad experience looking back on it. Has it left any permanent negative or positive mark on your life?
Good, overall. I know that weed won't harm you if you use it with moderation and care, and my 'bad trip' with coke made me realize that hard-drugs are not something to just mess around with.

-How did you happen upon the contraband, ata friends house, party offered to you on the street etc??
Yeah, both times, a friend had it.. After that, I just got some more pot, and some more, and some more 😛. But I'm not a pothead, and I'm doing great in school 😀. An 8.0 for Chemistry, just this Tuesday.

On a regular basis for like three years, from about 17 to 20 or so.

-What type of drugs did you experiment with?

Pot
Shrooms
LSD

-How old were you at the time?

see above.

-Was it a good or bad experience looking back on it. Has it left any permanent negative or positive mark on your life?

It just made me wish I had went straight to college instead of screwing around.

-How did you happen upon the contraband, ata friends house, party offered to you on the street etc??

friends.
 
-How often did you experiment? Just a few times or did you get hooked for any period? Experimented and got hooked on some of them (GHB, Heroin, pharms and to a lesser extent, crack)
The others were experimental. I did LSD about 100 times, because it provided a great learning experience. I *outgrew* pot. I cant do it any more because it makes me paranoid and a little *too* introspective (plus, I'm on probation and can't come up dirty or I go to jail or rehab)


-What type of drugs did you experiment with?

Weed, LSD, Mushrooms, Ecstasy, Crystal Meth, Cocaine, Crack Cocaine, Heroin, GHB, Ketamine, Varied Pharamaceuticals (xanax, valium, lortab, etc.) and a few "research" chems such as benzylpiperazine, TFMPP, etc.

Had a serious addiction to GHB, Heroin, and Lortabs as well as alcohol (mostly when my G ran out and I was trying to fight withdrawal)

-How old were you at the time?
Weed - about 17. Acid - 18. The rest between the ages of 21 and 28 (Heroin at about 25)

-Was it a good or bad experience looking back on it. Has it left any permanent negative or positive mark on your life?
Acid, pot, shrooms - positive. I got to experience the world from a different angle. The ones I was addicted to provided a negative experience overall because of the power they had over me. Though, GHB made me more outgoing and make friends. The rest (Ecstasy, Meth, Crack, Ketamine) didn't have much to offer any way, so I would say they provided a negative experience as well.

-How did you happen upon the contraband, ata friends house, party offered to you on the street etc??
Pot - Friends
Acid - I was curious and seeked it out.
GHB - Internet
Heroin - a cancer patient friend of mine hooked me up with a dealer.
The rest were all either friends who fed me, or, if I saw something on the internet that piqued my curiosity, I would find a way to order/import it.

Never was hooked.

-What type of drugs did you experiment with?
Pot

-How old were you at the time?
12

No good or bads. It was just something to do for the enjoyment, then late into high school I started to get negative feelings toward to the high and just stopped. Stuck to alcohol ever since.

-How did you happen upon the contraband, ata friends house, party offered to you on the street etc??
I first started around my early years of middle school and stopped after a couple month. Then I started back up during high school and occasionally did it every now and then. Only smoked with friends as it was just something to do to have fun.

:Q
 
During my mid-to-late 20's for 5 years straight I smoked Pot/Hash almost daily. Mainly due to the friends I had, but I also enjoyed the experience. Never was addicted and tried to get my GF at the time to quit many times, but she had issues that always drove her back to escaping from them with Pot/Hash. I too would rather smoke Pot than drink alcohol if I want to get blitzed, but the friends I hang with now don't do that so I just enjoy a mild buzz from Beer/Wine on occassion.

Did one 18 hour Cocaine session once. Felt wide awake, but didn't feel much more than that. Never did it again mainly because I didn't want to get involved in anything Addictive(I do smoke tobbaco though).

Because its not a big deal and you arent going to jail for saying you smoked out with your buddies a couple times in your past.
 
Been there, done that, got a TShirt and burned a lot of brain cells. IMO it was the single biggest waste of my time and money.
 
-How often?
Recreational. Whenever I feel like smoking a doobie, I do. Only with friends, never by myself.

-What kind of drugs did you experiement with?
Pot. I've had friends try and talk me into Ex and speed, I don't want no goddamn chemicals in my body

-How old was I?
Sixteen? I think 16. Maybe 15

-Good or bad experience?
Totally good. I made the choice to smoke weed, wasn't forced into it. The way I see it, smoking the occasional joint is the exact same as drinking the occasional beer. I do it when I feel like, for relaxation with friends. I'm never high and driving. I also got to try the different methods, aka pipe, joint, barrel-toke, hookah and bong...I prefer bong.
-How did I get it?
Dude, this is CANADA. Every joe and his friend has it. You can ask a teen walking by in the street and they'll sell you some.

The one thing I kinda dislike about pot is that it makes me feel really stupid. However, alcohol makes me lose inhibitions and I end up doing STUPID things with girls, so stupid>horny in most cases.
 
I've done a variety of drugs (pot, mushrooms, hash, LSD a few times) when I was in high school 11 & 12th grade. Mostly weed though.

No, I never got hooked on any of the drugs I tried nor do I use drugs today.

I would say the experience was good overall, I was a bit of a shy person and kind of geeky prior to that and didn't have many close friends. I found social acceptance among that crowd in high school. I enjoyed those years of my life but I wouldn't recommend the same path to anyone...especially not with the kind of drugs kids are doing today.

I just hung around with people who had access to those drugs. It wasn't difficult to find that's for sure.
