Are you a successful drug user?

It's not the drugs, it's you.

I, along with MANY of my friends are frequent, large quantity of, drug users. Including alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, MDMA, mushrooms, prescription drugs, ketamine, and so on. ALL of these friends are very happy & successful people, including myself.

I am currently enrolled in massage therapy school and doing VERY well. I do drugs at least 4-5 times a week. My friends, ranging in age from 20-40 all have very nice homes, great jobs, and great lives. We just know how to party, where to party, and when to say no. Very rarely does one of us get sick, even taking into consideration how many drugs we are on. In one single weekend I've done about 12 different substances (from alcohol to ketamine to prescription drugs) with a total of maybe 2 hours of sleep from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. My worst symptom? Bloodshot eyes from lack of sleep.

The key word is CONTROL. Know what is important to you (YOUR JOB, HAVING SOMEWHERE TO LIVE, HAVING THE FUNDS TO SUPPORT EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO DO, FAMILY, ETC). If you love to party like we do, you need to remember what's allowing you to do so.

Also, listen to your body!!! You don't just do more and more and more until you pass out. If you aren't ready to do more drugs, DON'T DO IT. Wait for the next round, take a break, drink some water, get some air, TAKE A NAP.

I don't believe drugs have made me any less intelligent or any less successful. Drugs have allowed me to get to know myself and my friends on a completely different level. And I appreciate every second of it.
 
Dont encourage drug addicts to get a job! Customer service is already fuct! J/k On the other hand one of us should go to med school and well...you know the rest ;)

You sound very in control.
 
It really depends on how you define success.

Some people live paycheck-to-paycheck and barely scrape by with all their bills paid, but they would consider the fact that they're able to accomplish this feat every month as a sign of great success.

Others can't sleep until they have 5 figures tucked away into a savings account. So if you're talking about having money, then no, I am a complete failure in life. If you're talking about living a fun and full life while having to do relatively little work, then I'm a total baller.

Take your pick.
 
I'm doing well in college, don't have any kind of drug habit. I use Cannabis most often, followed by LSD and 2c-b more recently. I don't feel like I've gone overboard in a long time. I used to be addicted to Dilaudid, everyday user. My first LSD trip completely changed this for me, gave me the motivation to finally quit for good and its been that way for several years now. I consider myself to be a success in that I am happy with my life on a daily basis, I exercise self control over my vices and I am somewhat socially adept.

With only using psychedelics and cannabis occasionally I don't feel I've ever caused myself a deficit in memory or cognition. I have a girlfriend who uses LSD with me periodically. We have AMAZING sex on it, we also have amazing sex sober haha.. I have about $1k saved in the bank and hopefully that will be increasing sometime soon.

QFT. I'm similar. There are areas I need to improve/change, like I want to move out of my folks finally (then again I don't know how well I'd be doing in school if I had to juggle a full time job with 5 days of school a week).. I also have a big problem with working for minimum wage. Even if I had to work a minimum wage job to eat I'm not sure if I could give away a third of my life for a ~$200 paycheck at the end of every week. My life is just more valuable than that to me..

I agree and disagree with some things. While much of what you say should work out alright, anyone that feels the need to justify their control over drugs, and talk about how successfully they are able to use them, is likely in denial and trying to cover up the facts.

I also agree and disagree here. I'm the same way really, but I don't think that the fact that one of the main reasons that I try to be financially well is so that I can use drugs makes me that successful. That's when the drugs start having a little too much control over your actions. But then again, other people work towards being able to go to Vegas all the time and blow away their money, and others work so that they are able to do some other unhealthy things. If it's not one thing, it's another.

I think that the biggest part of it comes down to how/why you use drugs.
 
I believe for my close personal group of acquaintances I am at the peak of the mountain. Having to, as I am sure many-of you have, introduce them to new substances (RCs and the like) though never having obtained the RCs first hand myself.

I also say consistent with my preferred substance and am now calling myself the "Heavy-Hitter" every time that dick is out and we're puffin. That is a Glenn Lerner reference and if you know who that is, no, you cannot use that for yourself <3
 
I am pretty successful, have a GF, decent job, travel, hobbies, etc. But I only do psychs/euphoriants.
 
Drug-wise, I am extremely successful. I am known in my social circle as the "expert" and the one everybody asks for drug advice. I have tried a good chunk of the drugs out there and plan to try the rest. I have never been addicted to anything and have only had one unenjoyable drug experience ever. Despite an entire police department's drug unit having it in for me because of some stupid decisions on my part, I have a perfect record.

"Normal" people's success wise I am also successful. I'm in my 2nd semester of my freshman year of undergrad doing psychology, 3.5 GPA so far, going to the best school in my state. I put an extremely small amount of effort into school and get good grades and do good work. I dropped out of high school and made a perfect score on the GED, 29 cumulative ACT. I have a decent job working for my dad, so no pressure or anything. I'm naturally good with money so I'm never broke. I plan to go to law school, actually try, graduate high in my class, and live the good life. I have a loving girlfriend I plan to marry, who is attending school with me studying for a masters in petroleum engineering, so she'll also be making bank. Financially, we will be extremely well off. I basically don't have a thing to worry about unless something drug related goes bad and I become a felon. But I doubt that, I'm meticulously careful about my drug use.

Sounds like you feel set for life as an adult individual. I seriously dont want to bring you down man!!! But Im gonna have do throw in a small warning sign though, since your brain does not care so much about your success with careers and cash flow or exams. Some very "fortunate" people wake up one day realising they have gotten their head so deep into drug/alcohol abuse they never noticed it happening. Or woke up with a sudden inability to feel happy.

ps. For real dont wanna rain on your parade, but petroleum? Ive gotten the impression that might not be a trade for the future.

please take this right.. or forget u ever read it..

love.


personally, i was a very successful user. for about 15 years. then i became veri veri unsuccessful, as long as i was sober. then i used and became successful again!!
 
I'm a pretty regular drug user. Daily Vyvanse, caffeine. Frequent drinker. Roll about 1-2 times per month. Use other drugs (psychedelics, stimulants, dissociatives and weed mostly) semi frequently. I'm a college graduate and currently successful university student - consistently get A papers. I'm a musician, DJ, employed by a non-profit organization and do other activist stuff as well. 27 years old.

That's usually one of my thoughts when I read posts in this thread by some of the younger posters. It's a lot easier to be a "successful drug user" while in high school or college than it is to be one afterwards when you enter into the real world. I'm sure that a lot of people would post something completely different in here if they revisited the thread 5 years down the road. I'm also not trying to rain on anyones parade, but after reading so many of the "I'm able to do good in school while working part time and getting high on the weekends, so I'm successful" I thought that I should mention that it's not easy to maintain that mindset once you get older and have a lot more responsibilities.
 
I would say so. I have made mistakes with drugs in the past and that has put me in some bad situations. But that's the name of the game. I consider a successful user someone that has still achieved reasonable life goals. I have done so up to this point and continue to work toward those goals.
 
Really good to read some of these posts and the success people have and are enjoying.

I guess the only way a person can measure success is if they have achieved ambitions they set themselves. If that goal was to run a multinational cooperation or just to have enough money to eat, some where to sleep and a pocket of drugs, then that's fine.

I started taking drugs properly in the year before my GCSE's. It was the whole scene that appealed to me and the group of friends I got in with, not only did drugs but had plans to go to college. So I decided I wanted to go to college and worked hard to get the grades I needed.

Got the grades and off to college I went, like some kind of magnet a group of us like minded "druggies" got together on day one and remain friends to this day. We totaly abused ourselves herbally and chemically for 3 years non stop. But always somehow kept our work upto date and passed the course.

On graduation day we all had a smug feeling whilst looking at the others that had given us grief for our extra ciricular activities, and thought you have just missed out on 3 amazing years of fun and we all get the same piece of paper.

I travelled around the USA, and had some great jobs. But my faultless radar for finding peope with the same idea of fun as me, never let me down.

Fast forward a few years and I own and run my own company and I enjoy Snowboarding and mountain biking. Atleast this still proves my body in not completely knackerd yet.

I often look back with happy memories and no real regrets.
