Psychedelics and "hard" drugs

[fussmushie]

I said "I quit using psychs after I got into hard drugs" although 'quit' isn't really the right word.

I haven't done psychedelics since I got into my hard drug use (opiates) but I know I will again sooner or later. My problem is that I've been using opiates as a sort of crutch in what is hopefully just a rough patch in my life. I feel that if I trip I will either freak out or have a breakthrough experience.

Psychedelics have always been my passion even though I haven't used them all that much. Everyone is right in saying that they are on a whole different level. Ironically, when I got into the harder drugs I felt like they were easier day to day drugs to use than cannabis or any psychedelic. Can't wait to try DMT one day.....

I started using psychedelics after years of marijuana use. I now use heroin/ opiates on average 3 to 5 times a month. So i chose the psychedelics first option. I have yet to IV heroin, I find it so lovely via insuflfation that sticking myself with a needle just doesn't seem worth it.

*kicks self for IVing dope!*

Actually in retrospect I voted improperly for psychedelics first, hard drugs after. Freshman year of high school I started out on Vics and 40mg OC's. Then came ganja, then mushrooms, then ecstasy, then coke, then LSD. Alcohol fits somewhere in there but seeing as I could give a fuck less about alcohol I won't mention it. Also benzos and amp scripts.

Tea - tobbacco - alchohol - cannabis - psilocybin - ketamine - DMT/salvia

I've always considered most psychedelics as hard drugs!!!

Can a mod change the poll to have a poll option about concurrent use of psychedelics and hard drugs? I would love to vote, but thats my answer.

Or, psychedelics I take to expand my mind, opiates I take to quiet my mind. To some degree, again, probably more than I'd like to admit, I use opiates to forget some of the scarier things that psychedelics have shown me. Now, I'm strung out on dope. Kind of a counter-productive, viscous cycle. And then, psychedelics have at times helped me gain perspective about how my use of drugs has caused me problems. They've helped me immensely in what is now 8 months of sobriety from alcohol, which was a very serious problem for me. Now I'm getting in trouble with heroin. I'm weighing my options carefully. Do I try to use a psychedelic trip to set myself straight? Or what?

I relate to this perfectly. My first trip did make me realize how bad my opiate/benzo use had gotten. Its been a while since then and while I haven't completely stayed away from opiates I have cut down significantly. To be honest I think the best is psychs and opiates together =]

I have been on suboxone for almost 2,5 years now. I do psychedelics once or twice a month. I voted psychedelics first, but actually remembering back I did try amphetamine before I tried any psychedelics.

I haven't found opioids to synergize with psychedelics at all. What kinda bugs me is that I can't smoke salvia because of the bupre medication. I'd like to try to get a decent salvia experience some day.

i started off using alcohol speed and painkillers.
then i got into acid, shrooms, morning glory seed, other psychedelics, and cannabis.
then i got heavily into dxm, which is a hard drug that makes you trip.
after that i went through a phase of drinking 40s, smoking weed, eating kratom, and smoking salvia.
then i got into gaba drugs hardcore.
now i'm back in a dxm phase with a touch of neurontin picamilon phenibut and a beer or two thrown in on my non dex days. (i guess i'm still in a gaba drug phase, i just have dxm days and gaba days.
