Drugs in your life

[kwilkinson]

Weed, ex, and far too much alcohol, which I will never give up.
Only did ecstasy once, when I was younger. Smoked weed for about a year, but haven't done anything since I started high school. Also never drank until I turned 21, but I'm making up for lost time.

If you keep ******* with heroin, beleive me, you WILL start shooting it. Its a matter of economics.

Drug problem? see www.na.org

^haven't touched it in 14-15 years but yeah, snorting it is expensive.

I think overprescription of Oxycontin is a huge contributor to the rise in heroin use.

Before Oxycontin, not many people made the jump to heroin. But nowadays, they go from Percocet, Vicodin, etc, to Oxycontin. Then they realize that the street cost of Oxycontin is high compared to a comparable dose of Heroin, then next thing you know, you doing heroin. Then, you're fucked.

I call it the opiate ladder.

Never tried drugs. Not even once.

Speedball baby!! One line of hero, one line of coke. I've heard of it in some movie, apparently it's a nice trip.

Opiates: never.
Valium, quaalude and other prescript downers, a few dozen time.
Speed and other uppers, just a few times.
LSD, peyote, mescaline several hundred times.
Coke, a few times.
Weed, hash: probably a life-long endeavor.

 

[Aperipan]

mostly asparines.

 

[Davidko19]

just weed, shrooms (In amseterdam) and booze.

I dont even know where to get drugs at and I live in Los Angeles. Guess if you dont hang with that crowd you dont find trouble.

Lots of experienced drug users have suffered unfortunate deaths from speedballs. The coke and heroin are supposed to keep each other from killing you, but if the amounts aren't calculated right one wears out before the other it hits you unexpectedly.

As for me, none ever.

Opposite direction for me. After surgery on a torn Achilles heel--I was on Oxy for a month then Percocet the next month then Lortab for the last month. Those were a good 3 months

Now just NSAIDs.

I was on Percocet during recovery after a surgery. After a few nights of nightmares, I was put on something else. I couldn't handle the Percocet.

Never have, probably never will.

I had to take benadryl with the opiates. My skin itched and I constantly saw spiders running across the floor that were not there. Luckily, I had no nightmares that I remember!! A friend who tore his Achilles dreamed that he killed his wife and child. It really messed with him.
