Have you ever done drugs?

[Psilocybin]

So, the inspiration of this thread came from the pothead gamers post a day or two ago...
Myself, i've done hydrocodine, lortab, adderal, metadate, and smoked weed (and do occasionally.)

also, what are your thoughts on 'illegal drug use'?
I think they're fine in moderation, as long as no one dies :X

No, I have not. I refuse to drink, I refuse to do drugs, etc. Straight Edge life, essentially.

I'm under the belief that our body does not deserve that. I am also under the belief that the day my life is bad enough that I need hallucinogens, then I'm not worth living.

I generally refuse medicine at hospitals, too, though. I won't take tylenol or advil, I won't take most cough medicines, or antibiotics. I believe in more natural remedies. And no, pot isn't natural.

Part of my opinion stems from having worked with former drug addicts or sellers. They told me how some of the things were made (Drain-O, does more then clean your pipes), and how their lives were effected. The other part stems from seeing what pain medication and the like did to my grandpa. His last few weeks, where he refused drugs, were some of his best.

As for recreational drug use, I'm completely against it. It's not safe for you, or anyone around you. Saying "as long as no one dies" is really a terrible statement - as more than anything, impairing yourself puts lives at risk. It doesn't matter how, it's just a matter of safety. Sure, there are responsible people, but numerous bad apples spoil the bunch.

Of course, I believe in the great words of Milton Friedman:

I'm in favor of legalizing drugs. According to my values system, if people want to kill themselves, they have every right to do so. Most of the harm that comes from drugs is because they are illegal.

It's my choice to live a more wholesome life, as I want to live the life I was meant to. Win, lose, or draw.

[Jono2]

nope.

I drink every once in a while, but it's only ever one or two, really.  Never get drunk, never been drunk, alcohol is not a "drug" in the general sense (though I would argue it is, legally it isn't, so I haven't done any drugs).

[Syncopathic]

I've smoked weed. (Used to be a major pothead, but I barely smoke anymore)
I used to pop Xanax Bars all the time.
I've messed around with Triple C's (yay brain damage)

And I've gotten drunk once.
The hangover is not worth it. ;___;

Well, I respect decisions like that, as long as people don't refer to all people who've done drugs as bad people...
just about all the stuff I've done was a one time thing... I take my time in looking up side effects, what not to do when on things.. etc.
Funny thing is... I used to be like you, completely refute medicine and doctors, all that stuff.
Another thing I realize is how certain drugs are made. The thing is though, not everything is made with stuff like that... I myself refuse to do anything that isn't verified as coming from an actual medical company, as I don't like the idea of eating rat poison or something.

nope.

Actually... alcohol is a drug.
I'm the same as you in the drinking regard... I drink maybe a glass of wine every few months. I've never been drunk, and don't really plan to.. too many people do stupid things while drunk.

Any specific thing make you stop smoking?
how'd the Xanies affect you?

[ThePowerOfOne]

I've never done drugs. Don't plan on it. ...Unless i'm at a party where everybody else is doing it, hey, it happens to everybody at some point in life >_>


I have drank before, though lol   And I plan to have many more in the future :3

Eh, saying someone is a bad person for doing drugs is moronic. There is motivation on all ends, however, my motivation for not doing drugs counters it. Simple as that.

You could argue I do take drugs, as caffeine is one, but I do believe you referred to things like crack, pot, C, X, etc. So, yeah.

Although, my perspective probably won't change. I know numerous people, friends of mine nonetheless, whom have taken drugs after saying the same thing I did. The difference between them and I is a lack of conformity.

Oh, quick thing. A while back, some of #nsider will remember this, I was drugged at a party. Rohypnol iirc. I didn't count that.

yep... for me, some of it was depression, boredom, or not being able to focus. (hence the adderal and metadate.)

You could argue I do take drugs, as caffeine is one, but I do believe you referred to things like crack, pot, C, X, etc. So, yeah.

Yeah crack, X, etc are what i meant by stuff that could kill you via deadly chemicals, or  just being bad stuff...

erm, what do you mean lack of conformity? from you or them? and if you mean yourself, i'd like to ask how you say doing drugs is... conformist...? don't mean to sound all TEENAGEANST!...

Oh, quick thing. A while back, some of #nsider will remember this, I was drugged at a party. Rohypnol iirc. I didn't count that.

Yeah I remember that. I wouldn't count that at all. and feel free not to answer... but do you remember anything at all?

captain impressionable?
you shouldn't do stuff because others are doing it.. more that you want to, or curiosity...
ffs sorry for double post guys :X i've gotta head off to bed.. i'll continue check back tomorrow.

I'm speaking of conformity in my town, as a vast majority of the town is on something. And I mean vast. We've had doctors, lawyers, cops, teachers, and bums prosecuted for drug trafficking, use, or possession. We have a ton of drugs all around, especially in my age group (14-18). Parties around here are increasingly worse (okay, maybe the it's just that the parties I'm going to are aged up a bit from before), and crime has gone up a bit D:

As for the being drugged thing, I don't recall much. Putting my drink down, taking it again, feeling weird, almost getting in a fight, driving (not a good idea), and being in irc with no one at home. However, I'm not sure how much of it I actually remember, and how much of it I remember because I was told about it. There are blanks in there, and definite....flashes. Apparently I was a total poop hole, and that is not something I pride myself on....to my girlfriend anyways.

[PsychoYoshi]

Unless you count legally prescribed (and desperately needed) morphine and oxycodone for back surgeries as usage, no.

[Jono2]

yes, alcohol is a drug, but not in the context of this thread.

[Thirdkoopa]

Legally Prescribed = Yes, nothing ever dangerous, except acutane for pimples/acme. It makes me have more energy, more stressed, thoughts about ropes and all of this stuff (Strangly enough, not on me) And so forth of stuff I can't remember, since I just remembered that with it, I have a less better memory.

Ilegally = lolno.

[bluaki]

Other than prescribed or over-the-counter medicine, I never have nor plan to do drugs.
I don't even intend to drink alcohol, seriously. When I drink something, I choose it for the taste, not for some crazy psychoactive effect or to mess with my thoughts or anything like that.
I definitely don't intend to smoke any kind of stuff. Even if I wanted to, smoke triggers a bad cough for me. Though, I do once in a while have somebody say I look like a person that would smoke pot >_>

[spoiler]Well, there is one drug I would like to take before I reach the legal age for it and/or before I get to the trouble of having a psychiatrist give permission for it, but that probably won't happen :x[/spoiler]

[Friendly Hostile]

Other than medication and over-the-counter things, no.  And I have no intention to.

I don't really care if other people do so long as they leave me out and stop stinking up the intercourse ing bathroom when they smoke.
