Hello bluelighters!

This year I've experimented with a lot of drugs, and some of them I'd like to keep on using for an indefinite time. I do have set these limits for myself - e.g. I want to do drug X no more than once a month, because I believe more frequent use might affect my brain and body in a bad way, hangovers, or addiction/tolerance may occur.

LSD/shrooms/truffles - Max every 2 weeks
DXM - once every month
Any kind of sleeping drug (benzo's: Temazepam, Clonazepam): No more than once every 1-1,5 week
MDMA - Once every 7 months
Methylone - Once every 1-2 months
Ketamine - Once in 1-2 months
Amphetamines - once every 1,5 week in very a low dose
Spacecake/smoking joints - No real limits (but I have no real tendency to use it often and neglect my daily activities)
Alcohol - No more than one consumption a day, like, one glass of beer or wine. No great drunky nights (7-10 consumptions for me) more than once a month.

What do you think about my limits? Have you also set such limits for yourself? Is it difficult to maintain your rules?

Kissessssssss <3
 
I think your limits are good if they work for you. I found some of my self-imposed limits impossible to maintain...

LSD & E - Once a year
Mushrooms & salvia - Once per six months
Opiates, marijuana, & alcohol - Tried to keep it to weekends... Failed terribly.
Cigarettes - One per hour. That too failed terribly towards the end.

As of August, I've been sober for the most part... Now I limit alcohol to weekends if I have school, twice a month max. of drinking "excessively."
 
alcohol once/twice a week, quite a lot of consumption

used to do half a G of meph once a week

DMT very rarely although i have quite a bit at home

cannabis once/twice a month
 
keep in mind with the following that ive done a hell of a lot in my lifetime, and have a long lifetime ahead of me:

e - certainly no more than once in a 30 day period. i aim for once every season tho. if ive only rolled 4x in a year i think im doing good. i wouldnt decry 6 times, though 8 seems like a bit much. fewer than 3 times a year and i feel like im leaving something out!

cannabis: i usually smoke a week straight, then take a 4-5 day break, then maybe smoke a couple days, relax a day, so on and so forth. i dont allow myself to smoke 30 days in a row, i also feel it is something my body needs therefore i dont allow myself 30 days without it. if one maintains a very healthy lifestyle, i see nothing wrong with a small amount of daily consumption, the only problem is the smoke (so cook it!). if i smoke something like 10-12 days ina row, i start to feel as though its too much, and i go without any cannabis for maybe 2-4 days, perhaps 7-10 days if i have a big obligation in life coming up.

trips - all kinds of psychedelics - the only one i have a problem with is K, its hard to not do it weekly, so im glad i dont have a consistent source (thus the universe only allows this to me once a season or so, else i fear for my own discipline). with all other psychedelics, i dont do them more than once a season. ive tripped hundreds (approaching 1000 i believe) of times in my life, and only use psychedelics in a spiritual setting/mindset. once every couple of years i may do them for fun, but 95% of the time i use them to seek inwards, find things out within myself, fix problems ive been having (ive been too angry, ive been too short tempered, ive been too greedy, etc), gain a new angle on life etc. this requires weeks to months of reflection, therefore, i only trip once every couple of months.

alcohol - seriously, i only drink alcohol to be drink once every couple of months. alcohol is virulent and destructive, so i dont allow it in my life that often. ill have a single beer or glass of wine once every 8 days or so.

everything else - i care so little to be high for the sake of being high that i dont relaly do any other drugs anymore (where i used to do everything all the time). id do just about anything if it had been years since i did it, in the right company, and in the right environment, so i probably do all other drugs once every 5+ years or so anymore.

awesome guidelines ima have to incorporate in my life
 
I generally get bored quickly with individual drugs, so luckily I move on & don't need to limit myself.
 
LSD/SHROOMS etc- Once a month is a good starting guideline but a little mixing and matching deosn't hurt. For example I did 2 doses of LSD last night, but i also did LSA like 4 days beforehand, and im about to smoke some salvia right now. I also did some shrooms on halloween, and i have a lot more but i'm not gonna delve into those for a good couple of months.


CANNABIS/JWH018- Daily smoker of this stuff but i quit whenever i go on vacation or out of town.
I would never smoke JWH normally except for the fact that i'm on probation and i love to wind the day down with a nice stoned feeling. For me weed/jwh is only good to smoke when you have nothing else to worry about, or are about to watch a movie.

COCAINE- Once a year tops? This shit just sucks and after i tried it it made me never want to do it again (unless i visit colombia) because its so goddamn fiendy. And who the fuck want to be doing lines of levamisole ? If I ever need a good deworming agent i will go buy me some coke

ALCOHOL- who the fuck made this shit legal? This is the worst drug of them all. It makes me do some of the stupidest things ever, blackout etc Which eventually led to me being on probation.

The fucked up part is: alcohol only stays in your system for 24 hours so i can still drink as much as i goddamn please, but i can't smoke weed. ):
I try to limit myself to only the weekends on this drug but even then things just get out of hand.


Quantum truffle you have some good drug guidelines as well

These are all rough estimates:

MDMA - never more than once a week, generally once every other week
Cannabis - every night, during the day on weekends
Alcohol - weekends
LSD/Mushrooms - same as MDMA, except I have no problem doing them multiple times in a week, as long as I feel ready.
2ce - generally once/month
Ketamine/DXM - rarely, maybe 2/3 times a year
RC's, Amanitas, LSA, etc. - whenever they're available/when I have the time (once a month?)
Cigarettes - too often
Benzos - when I can't sleep from trypt/phenethylamines
Amphetamines - weekly during classes (unfortunately)

My general rule with drug use (nicotine excluded) is that I have to be able to feel perfectly content with myself sober before using.
 
I think any guidelines regarding the frequency of drug usage are extremely difficult to follow with certain drugs.
 
I have very good self control so I try limit my usage with any drugs

Alcohol - once weekly
Weed - once/twice weekly
E - 3-5 month breaks
LSD - 1-2 month breaks
Other drugs suchs as k, speed or codeine maybe every 6 months
Benzos - monthly
 
yeah i tried having limits, but i just kinda spiraled out of control and landed myself in rehab. but this time, im gonna REALLY try, because if i fuck up this time then i loose everything.

so hopefully this time it works:

only do drugs on the weekends.
except for weed, but only like twice a week..

:/ ha

Alcohol - no more than two drinks at once, no more than twice a week.
Weed - No more than 1.5 grams in a week, which is actually a lot for me. I don't buy it very often anymore since I am poor and it is expensive.
Psychedelics - No more than once or twice a year now, got the "been there done that" syndrome. Still like the occasional blast of DMT.
Opiates - Ideally never since I can't control myself with them. This is a new limit.

Any other recreational drugs I don't do often enough to give myself limits on. I do have somewhat of a tolerance/addiction to caffeine.
 
Weed- pretty much daily basis, not necessarily by choice either. the people i hang out with and situations i get in with them cause me to smoke more than i would if it were entirely up to me. i'm in the process of trying to cut back since school is starting again.
Alcohol-i get shit hammered on weekends because i'm a male in college and that is just what i'm supposed to do haha
Psychedelics- not many of my friends enjoy taking them so i'll take acid or shrooms a semi monthly basis
Ecstasy-I started 3 months ago and i've rolled once a month since, this is my first month off and i plan on making it less of a monthly thing and more of an every other month treat.
 
I have no exact limits. I'm addicted to meth, so I'll do that as often as I can. But with most other drugs, I'm happy to wait till I'm in the right mood and the right situation. I'll only do weed if somebody shares some of theirs with me - I don't enjoy weed enough to go buy it myself.
 
Alcohol once a week (if I'm not taking any drugs)
MDMA once or twice a month (trying to keep it at maximum once a month now)
LSD once or twice every 2 months on average probably.
Ketamine once a month, maybe once every two months depending.

Thats all I'm really taking at the moment. I only ever use anything on weekends, unless it's a special occasion.
 
in 2010 : alcohol - every weekend
weed : every day all day long 7 - 14 grams a week
shrooms : randomly every 6 months to a year
mdma : once during the summer days
dxm : whenever i felt i wanted to be fucked up for no reason (once a week - 4 times a month got out of hand a little while ago read post dxm600mgx2)
ketamine : once a month but very fucking addicting wanted to do it over and over again but never did

2011 : marijuana : weekend smoker
mdma : once a year in the summer
dxm : never
codiene : 300mg daily in CWE of ac&c but stopped due to ulcer in stomache
ketamine : once a year
shrooms : once a year did grow em during summer it ws great
lsd : no problem doing that as often as i can i like lerning about the universe and stuff hen ever possible

but things change for most/some people as long as your still in good health and having a good time using then your in the clear but once you unhealthy and/or not having fun anymore is when you get into some trouble i like codiene/opiates daily before i go to bed kinda addicted but only started 2 weeks ago and now i have ulcers so im afraid to do cwe on ac&c
 
Tobacco - Daily, I hate the shit but cant even begin to address the problem.

LSD - once every few months seems to be plenty (it would be easy to do it all the time but it just gets less effective and the magic goes out of it.

Pot - I only get enough to last for a couple of days, then I wait for a couple of weeks before getting anymore, I had a real problem with pot for 20 years so now I'm really happy that I seem to have got it under control, but only because i dont have huge amounts of it around, if it's here, i will smoke it so I have to be strict on that one.

Mushrooms - never seems to be enough of them around for it to ever be a problem.

Codine - oh shit here we go, this one is a real bitch, I started taking codine for a back injury about 2 years ago, and it very quickly got out of hand, I just let my script run out a week ago and I'm going cold turkey on it right now, I have a script that I could just go to the chemist and get filled any time but i'm treating it as a challenge to see how long I can leave the shit alone now.

Mdma - Once every 10 years

Speed - never take it - I had a run in with it a few years ago and saw how my addictive personality is way too vulnerable to stimulants, so I wont do it again.

Booze - fuck that shit, I never do it, I watched my father drink himself to death on scotch when I was a kid, and was one of 5 kids who were beaten black and blue by the fucker when he was drunk, I never want to end up like that mad cunt so I will never do it.

DMT - Once or twice a year is about all my brain can take, takes months for me to process those kind of experiences.

Pseudoephedrine - can get it OTC in Australia as sinus and nasal relief, comes in packs of 20 pills each one 60mgs, 3 at a time gets you rocking but it's so close to speed that I try and really avoid it, I guess I will have a fling with it 3 or 4 times a year, but only get one pack so after a few days its all over.

Smack and Gambling - why would anyone do that ? its like putting your dick in a blender, you know its going to end badly so why even start.

My biggest addiction - women, this seems to be incurable and I think i am stuck with it for life. - I thinks the main purpose of all men is to keep women from finding out just how addicted and infatuated by them we all actually are :)
