MDMA/LSD. I didn't know about any of the other :D

bluelight is a gateway drug!
 
Coke.

I quit a long time ago and even when it's offered to me free now, I refuse it. My, things have changed.

To be more specific, I was into injecting things. I started posting when I got into IV, which was pretty quick. I was kind of those "I want to try everything and everyhow!" kind of person. I shot coke after sniffing it maybe 3 or 4 times. I've never even sniffed or smoked heroin. I shot everything I could get my hands on 8)
 
MDMA, but I've only used it three times. Three of my favorite drug experiences ever! I'm kinda glad I never over used it... certainly never lost the magic ;)
 
Initially I think I was researching MDMA a long time ago, but most recently it's been things like pharma amphetamines and crystal. Certain things happen when I'm on those that I really like, but don't really understand.
 
I am always looking up some kind of drug.....not sure which one i was looking up when i found thise great site...if i was to guess prob a opiate..HAHA
 
hey all

just introducing myself and stuff. umm, im 23, i got some issues wit benzo's and opiates for sure. so it'll be cool to have input from ppl who know more about it than me I'm sure. also, if all my pics are jpegs or bitmaps, i cant add a pic, can I? Thank You.
 
I was reading on cannabis and opiates, the only two things I still allow myself to do these days... :)

I am new here myself. And benzos (well, not all, tho I have used many kinds of benzos, my problem was with, specifically, Xanax) were the worst drug I have ever, in my life, ever, ever, ever withdrawn myself from; after 9 years of daily (prescription but nevertheless a very high dose of 6mgs a day) use, I still believe the withdrawal itself has altered me, and not in a good way, but maybe I am wrong and only escaped with a little PTSD. =D
 
so u say benzo withdrawal is worse than narcotic?

Ive used opiates regularly since june 07, cuz i split w/my kid;s mom. i went to a detox, and that was fine and dandy. They were feedin me a subutex everyfour hours, except when we would sleep. anyhow, i wont lie, i do enjoy hettin high. yesterday I ate 10 peach xanax and felt decent, if I up that too 16, which would be 8 mgs, is it gonna make me feel that much better or is that a waste in others eyes. Strictly comin from my point of view tho, not an opinion that im a retard or somethin. Plus i got this radial nerve palsy shit in my hand that is killin me, but im afraid to ask a doc for pain meds cuz of my 'tracks'. i dont know what to do there.

Hmm, well, I don't know but what benzo addiction is often mostly mental, tho I'd have argued with ANYone that tried to tell me that before or when I was coming off of them. And I think that at least in my case and some others' cases I'm sure, I was right, that the physical was dangerously horrible too. I had been receiving them for almost ten years and was even started on 6mgs (and that's what I meant by "high dose", as for some people that much by prescription or not is a high dose for a day and some people it wouldn't medically help, individuals and all, but I think it's a fairly high dose to be prescribed). I was also being prescribed hyrdocodone and oxycodone, a myriad of other odd-and-end shit, and tho I've had to take drug tests before it had never been a problem that I smoked pot; suddenly, last June, it did matter. I received a final script and that was that.

Although the clinic I'd been going to took me back in October (and re-prescribed Xanax, albeit a lot less...), I was too far into the cut-down and I'd been forced to see what would happen were I to ever fully lose my script again, and although I could've bought them illegally as I have also done over the years, I knew I would've only been tempting fate and that eventually it would have had to end, again, and I knew I couldn't go through such withdrawals again, ever again, so I chose to not take the Xanax and later asked that I not even be prescribed them (not that I was having trouble not taking them, no, but that if I were to keep getting them then I HAD to take them and I didn't want to lose my opiates over not having the benzo in my system as they were kindly overlooking my THC levels). So it took me from July until December, shaving pills down to miniscule amounts, tapering, before I took my last dose of Xanax (December 3, although I did take half of a five-milligram Valium on Christmas day... and I FELT IT... :D ), but nothing since, and I have a bottle full of them. Maybe another day, maybe, and I could certainly use them medically, but the converse--addiction and the threat of withdrawal--is what keeps me from allowing myself to use them again, yet, and if I ever do use them again (oh, I will but it's all a matter of when and it will be a LONG TIME from now, that I know), I'll never use them more than once a week even, no way I'll ever go through that again.

But to answer you (and I apologize to others for being so long-winded and off-topic) as far as the difference between opiate and benzo withdrawal, yes, it was the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life (I was offered a chance by a mental health facility to go into an inpatient rehab for it but I declined as I wanted to do it on my own, yet knowing what I know now, whether that was safe or not is simply a coin-toss, I feel I could've easily had a life-threatening reaction to the withdrawals, a stroke, seizures, something, but I was lucky and I only had convulsions... and a million other things that were I a weaker person I would have rather died than experienced and I thought about that seriously too...), worse than any opiate. I actually came off of every drug I was doing during the worst of the withdrawals, oxy, hydro, I quit smoking cigarettes, I quit drinking caffeine, everything but pot (and I know the added withdrawals were no help but I couldn't stand to take anything--my heart would damn near exit my chest and my head would feel so swollen that I'd want too badly to pop it...). It is surely individual, and I believe that the main factor isn't even the amount one is addicted to that prejudges how bad their withdrawals are but instead how long they've been taking them and I believe that with all my heart.

If you were to start a thread on benzo addiction and withdrawals, to get several opinions, there are a lot more things I can say about it and others could too I am certain but if a person can ever avoid one addiction then I'd say it has to be benzo addiction, and if they were to ever want to avoid a second, it'd probably be decades of alcoholism, the only thing I think that can rival it (but that I do not know from experience); actually, I have ran out of opiates many times since but I can bear it with no problem, having been through a fire that almost took my soul.

How long were you using opiates before your stint in detox? (If you happen to start another thread, I'll check for an answer there.)
 
Most Psychedelics and of course I always love to learn more about good 'ol Cannabis.
 
I was first into cocaine and I jumped on here to find the best way to wash it, base it, etc etc.. But since there is an unlimited wealth of knowledge and risk prevention tactics I stuck around for the long haul ;)
;cancer
 
I was snortin heroin and oc's off and on since i was 17, which whas 6 years ago, but this past june I started injecting more than regularly. i IV'ed before, but I never allowed myslef to keep doing it. Once my girl left me, I said fuck it, and was easily shooting up 2-3 times a day till I went to detox.
 
Iv

meth and coke. slammin. too bad i can't find any. but i guess it's almost like porn for the dry user, research.
 
MDMA. most of my friends are solely into meth and cannabis, so i had to do my research elsewhere. hence, here
 
I've been to BL a couple times and noticed handy this site was so I decided to join. I came across the site lookin up faqs about oxycotin.
