The ethereal plains....
I'm curious what started people on their journey/life/fascination/etc with drug? Can you define it to a single (or a few) event(s)? Was it a particular drug? Or even the "dark side" - to escape? problems in life/home/school/work?

I can defined mine down to two people and one instance. One of the people was someone from work. He's (at the time what I was still green ;)) quite knowledgeable and experienced in a few substances. And late nights at work we would talk about his experiences and he would educated me (needless to say now, I'd far surpass him knowledge =D). The second person was also during this one instance. First time at Mardi Gras (Syd), typical "in a club, drunk, I trusted my friend and he had a pill available"......and never looked back!

Tbh, I'm kinda proud to be the one people turn to for drug advice*! =D I think because although they could go to an actual medical professional, there's a whole lot of 'baggage' which comes in doing that.

* also disclaimed with "I'm not a medical professional and this is only my experience/knowledge.


Mods, I did utfs however a zillion "first time" threads were returned.

for me it was probably when i read Junky by W.S. Burroughs, which totally blew my mind. so from there I began reading lots of other drug books which fed my fascination for drugs and drug culture

this and my tendency for escapism (semi-addiction to online games) etc, make me love druckqs
 
Good thread.

Ironically the first time I really became curious about drugs was after we started doing drug education at school when I was in year 9. At this stage I hadn't even been drunk, but the effects of all these exotic drugs sounded really interesting. quite the opposite to scaring me (which at my school was what it intended to do) it got me interested enough to do my own research.

The first illegal drug I tried was weed and instantly fell in love. this was at the start of year 10. i didn't have any friends prepared to smoke it, and i bought from a dude in Year 12 at my school, so I smoked it by myself. i didn't even realise you were supposed to mix it with tobacco to make it burn better. However, getting stoned for the first time was one of the most eye opening, profound and enjoyable experiences of my life.

The next big experience was going to a doof, earthcore 2003, and taking ecstacy for the first time. I had wanted to try ecstacy for a while but wanted to wait til the end of year 12. I peaked my arse off for the first time on white coca colas, whilst dancing along to infected mushroom. This experience cemented my love for drugs and doofs.

Probably the main turning point after that (apart from trying lots of different drugs and having mostly great experiences with the odd bad one thrown in) was making really good friends in my second and third year at uni who were into the same thing. they liked going to raves and doofs, and liked to get high. These people remain some of my closest friends to this day.

These days I have settled down abit. apart from the quite occassional festival or gig, or an occassion liek my birthday, I take it pretty easy now. I just drink now and then, or if I feel the need to chill out will munch a few benzos or do a CWE. I've been through the years of getting fucked up every weekend on pills, speed, acid and at times been addicted (benzos), but I see the end of the drug odessy either already here or coming soon. Its been fun (well most of the time) but these days drugs are just an occassional indulgence.
 
After watching certian movies: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Human Traffic amongst other things.

I think the first drug i ever did whas an MDMA pill back in 06 or 07 mainly because of peer pressure. After that got hooked on drug culture and it took off from there.

Plus i am very curious so was keen to give anything a try.

Apologies, my actual first time (excluding alcohol was a drug) was a cone, at my brothers, from my sister. (Obviously) Felt very strange but more so due to the circumstances (brother and sister) it happened.

Having said that, my still feel that my first "drug experience" was the one mentioned above.

Stupid Government scaremongering. Actually, I never had any drug education, that I can think of, at my school.

Fuck.

Oh well. I wish my story was more interesting. I was always a smart kid, read a lot, and after picking up on a lot of my teacher's bullshit I was in a mindset of not trusting a single word that came out of their big fat lying mouths unless I researched and saw myself that it was a fact. So when we had drug education in Year 7, I stayed open minded and immediately realized that the guy who was talking to us was obviously some guy who had been caught with a pill or something and had to tell the kids how bad drugs were. Everyone else swallowed everything he was saying except me.

I smoked weed when I was about 13-14, was into it pretty heavily for a couple of months and have never liked it since.

About a year later I was up late at night, wondering what drugs I could get easily as I was curious. I then decided the best person to ask was my friend Google, who showed me a shady forum with a thread on legal highs. Nothing in the thread really stood out to me until a post about 20 pages in about Nurofen Plus explaining how to do a CWE.

This was a life changing moment. Not only did I discover codeine and begin my notorious love affair, that same post also had a link to Bluelight.

I was ostracized at high school for using drugs up 'til Year 11, when other guys started smoking weed and realized that it wasn't all so bad. It was through them, and work, that I eventually got a couple of contacts and tried everything I could. I was also a regular medicine cabinet raider for a while

From then for about three years afterwards I was a heavy user of psychedelics, opioids and speed. Now I have cut down a lot, due to various reasons. I use codeine once or twice a week, had some LSD on the weekend for the first time in a year... use heavier opioids when I can get them which is not often now due to losing all contacts.

And that's pretty much it.

I feel the same now, but I won't ever completely quit. I am starting to become a professional, and heavy use doesn't vibe with that especially in my field.

I have given up alcohol though which I am proud of. :)
 
Good thread.. every1 likes to talk about their beginning and influences.

I started smoking weed like most early on, for me it was back in 1997. After that the friends I smoked weed with told me abouth their experiences wiht other shit. Igot interested.

Then by chance my dad got a job as an aussie diplomat in holland of all places and I started weekeend use of shrooms or mdma and was smoking weed every day (dutch skunk and polm hash).

By 2001 I was quite experiened in jungle drum n bass and nice drugs like coke, mdma, hawaiian shrooms, .

Then I got kicked out of high school in holland and sent boarding school in canberra, after yr 12 withing 4 years was seriously into heroin,ice,valium and general burglary of family and friends.

Cut a long story short, went to a good rehab, realised psyche drugs were much more intense and rewarding of self and very hard to get addicted to...although i try (its the addict in me ).

Now days my drugs of choice are LSD, Ketamine, and Vodka of all things (never used to drink much as a teen).

Glad i gave away the opiates (except for the CWE every week or so), and glad to be away from Ice and speed like drugs,

excited about the cream whipper i ordered and the Nitros bulbs( always thought that shit was for kids?) but since reading this forum I can't wait to eat some Lucy and "nang it up" as it is obviously a good experience from reading some other people's posts.

I just wonder the possibilities...
 
i initially got addicted to drugs when i was 13 because of my parents divorce (i realised this about 5 years later). I don't think they had given me a stable life in the first place as I was quite mentally ill even then. Paranoid (extremely).

from there I was a heavy pot smoker, drinker, prescriptions (we had a MIMs), nitrus, acid, smack, mdma, speed mda and a lot of unknowns. if i had known about banana skins, or nutmeg i would have done them. by 17 i had quit smoking cannabis (made me far too paranoid) and began focusing on, purpose, becoming very addicted to smack, and a variety of other things. I had come to that point as many do that it was either oblivion in smack or death.

after leaving school i became heavily addicted to the speed in Ecstasy that was goind around at the time. i just started shooting it up instead. but got over that fairly easily and that my friends is that. a lot of acid later and i got over much of what was bothering me.

sadly this happen to me. It took me a long time to accept and forgive my peers for this. They all lost it in the drugs as i was emerging to be a very stable smackie. it seemed like i was justifying all of my actions to my 'friends' for a long time

That's good to hear. Pretty much every young person I know is an alcoholic to at least some degree and its such a shit drug.

Sure its good for making social situations more interesting but it just numbs my mind, makes me feel like shit physically for a day or two and mentally for like a week. I'm 4 weeks without a drop of alcohol which is the longest I've gone for probably 9 years.

I'm pretty much over all drugs except psychedelics tbh. Theyre the only ones that actually feel worthwhile once you come down.
 
I wanted to smoke weed since I was too young to remember how old I was.

Was also interested in Acid since that time too, something about it seemed so mystical and magical.

Started smoking weed in highschool with a friend whos cousins in another town smoked.

Was never really interested in pills until I grew up a bit and heard every ones experiences, did some reading up and slowly turned into a pill head.

My first psych was 2C-T-7, from one of my friends who really got me into pills. These days it's the opposite and I lead him astray with drugs but he loves it.

We are still best friends and try nearly every new drug we come across together and have nicknamed ourselves "The Chemical Brothers"
 
I wanted to be cool, but as the experiences added up I grew into maturity. I now experiment for more logical reasons.
 
if i had known about banana skins, or nutmeg

Banana skins are a hoax but nutmeg works, someone I know really likes it for some reason. :?

That's really cool, I had a best friend that was like that. We tried so many substances together. Unfortunately he died last year and now I don't really have anyone to do that with anymore. :(
 
So apparently ....

Nutmeg

Nutmeg is the kernel inside the fruit of the evergreen tree Myristica fragrans, indigenous to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. Historically, nutmeg has been used medicinally for various afflictions, including gastrointestinal disorders, musculoskeletal problems, and psychiatric conditions, and has a long history of recreational use. Although nutmeg use often results in unpleasant side effects, it is preferred by some users in search of a legal and easily obtainable euphoric drug with hallucinogenic effects. The hallucinogenic properties of nutmeg are caused by alkyl benzene derivatives (myristicin, elemicin, and safrole) and terpenes. Although the exact psychoactive mechanism is unclear, myristicin and elemicin are believed to be metabolized to amphetamine-like compounds similar to 3-methoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MMDA) and TMA. Ground nutmeg is ingested in 5-20 g doses, or approximately 2 tablespoons of powder. Most users develop nausea and vomiting within an hour, followed by central nervous system (CNS) intoxication and hallucinations for 3 to 8 hours. Undesirable effects include blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness, xerostomia, flushing, palpitations, paresthesias, numbness, hypotension, and tachycardia [14,22] .

Can't say it's from a reliable source but they do reference their material.

That sucks bro :(

I had a couple of friends over the years that I used with regularly, but they got kind of fucked over cos of drugs (physically, psychologically, work/uni) and I hardly even see most of them any more.. one in particular, who got me into drugs, is a completely different person. Kind of scares me sometimes as they were a lot like me and also pretty successful before shit went down.
 
Great thread.
My story is a little interesting I guess.
All through High School my family was battling with a family member who was a drug addict/dealer. I had watched this family member change from someone I loved and someone I respected into a scattered moody dickhead who didn't care about anything except drugs anymore. It was heart breaking for me and everyone in my family, and I had a really negative view on drugs because of this.
Many years later I eventually tried some mushrooms, which I thought was fun but not the most mind blowing experience I'd ever had. Started smoking weed a few months, with a brand new group of mates, who I now consider the purest, most honest and beautiful people I have met in my entire life.
Anyway, after about 4 months of experimenting with weed, we were back to mushi season so I got back into them and then came my first doof where I tried a pill with a handful of my fungi friends... Awesome! Insanely good night. Second night I tried acid for the first time and that was the true beginning. That weekend changed my perspective on everything and essentially my whole life. I understood that drugs are not just black and white, meaning taking them is bad and not taking them is good. I discovered this grey area that I had never seen before and the rest is history I suppose.
 
Had a huge fight with my dad over the phone. I went to my friends house and decided to shmoke up!
