What are some uncommon rituals you do around getting high?

What are some unusual rituals regarding your use that you seem to do? Not talking about the typical rituals like preparing an injection, rolling a joint or chopping up lines.


Something like needing to have a certain song on for a specific drug or a certain set of clothes, maybe certain locations or people.


When I was younger me and my friends used to have a place we went to when we did opiates. And they had to be taken in a certain order and a certain manner. It was always oral codeine followed by intranasal oxycodone, snorted off a skateboard under a bridge. Jokingly became a ”tradition” in our friend group, only lasted for about a year though
 
Another one that I used to have surrounding stimulant use during binges, the lights had to be dimmed and everything in the room had to be symmetrical and I needed to be wearing my favorite perfume so that I would always associate the smell of it with ”good memories”. Then I needed to sit in a special spot, my ”high spot” so to say and listen to the same songs I always did. I attribute this one more to autism + OCD manifesting in weird ways due to drug use
 
I keep track of my days usage in a google doc but I have to take it at a time that either ends with 0 or 5.
Example from today:
(Took propranolol at: 4:10
Took advil at: 4:55
Last line at: 6:30
Last line at: 6:40
Last line at: 7:30
Last line at: 7:55
Last line at: 8:20
Last line at: 8:45)

I've always been very specific about numbers and them being the 'right numbers' (idk if I'm explaining it right)

Thats very interesting actually, so you could technically only do a drug at highest frequency of 5 minute intervals?


I think I get what you mean by them having to be the ”right numbers”. Do you have either OCD or autism by any chance? This seems pretty typical of a behaviour brought out by one or both of those diagnoses.

You could even develop OCD from stimulant use even not having it diagnosed if you have an OCD predisposed phenotype.

As someone with autism, I definitely get the "right numbers" needing to be associated with the high. When I used to IV heroin, after hitting a shot, I would need to count to 120 before pulling the needle out.
 
wash robitussin down with chocolate, ice cream or yoghurt (DXM is an appetite suprressant anyway so calories dont matter)
try to increase exposure to old media, old websites, physical media, etc while high
if you robotrip in public, try to get home before the high goes away
music is absolutely VITAL

also browsing stanford encycloepdia philosophy whatever its called after a few lines of ket was fun

I make my use very ritualised,

If I’m doing some Opioids, I’ll always ensure to buy some form of nicotine product.

I like cigarettes a lot though having a Lost Mary/Crystal Bar etc is so nice for just dissolving into a puddle.

I don’t smoke indoors!

So I have to get up for a cig each time and they are far more compulsive while high, I’ll be chaining them every 15-30mins

I’ll also always buy some kind of milkshake, I get a hot stomach from more natural opiates like codeine.

I’ll have this after it’s kicked in, I always stay fasted before dosing and won’t eat until it’s worn off, sometimes not till the next day. (Terrible!)

But I’ll also buy a bit of cold fizzy like Tango, or Fanta.

I’ll Wear baggy cosy clothes (joggers and hoodie) hood up, sunglasses always on no matter what!

Make the room pitch black except from having a TV on,

Either watch my “comfort” videos(usually interviews, theory vids, documentaries on music or philosophy) or play some appropriate dreary music.

(Nutshell-AIC) or say Closer by Joy Divison or Death consciousness by Have a Nice Life.

I’ll sometimes strum the guitar, but generally I like to pretend I’ve run away with a big suitcase of cash and drugs, and I’m perpetually in a hotel room, just itching while monging to music/video.

I sometimes use opioids while going about the day to day, it makes me extremely productive and personable but internally I get very aggy, I’d much rather be itching in my dark room.

lol when my methylphenidate kicks in, I notice how I always am making things symmetrical around me, stacking, lining up etc
 
Having to treat Alcohol as a hallucinogen that like dysphoria free DPH with trippy disso vibe. After hallucinating the mini park behind our house was sunny afternoon with Kids playing football & dogwalkers acting like NPC's, Then suddenly downstairs was met with dark empty park/field.

I think me doing 54mg Concerta daily for ADHD could be making my GABA soften that but It then realises Dopamine dropping as the pill weakens. Then It inverts into a excitatory phase that almost smoother than the actual concerta, Any sedative effects could be NMDA acting like what GABA-A sedative phase.

Yes GABA can shift between stimulant to depressent even In adult brains, CI-966 was infamous for producing full blown mania with delirium that rivaled D2 agonists.
 
My drug use tends to be seasonal.
I start on Halloween, and stop around February/March.
But I always start on Halloween.
It was my favorite holiday as a kid.

Used to be my favorite holiday as well and also somewhat connected to drugs for me. When I began using I would always use a lot with my cousin during the school break around halloween, so a 1 week mini drug binge. We did so throughout most of our teenage years progressively getting worse every year 😅
