When cravings hit me my stomach constricts I feel like throwing up a bit, anxiety spikes, memories of the rush apear like pop ups on a dirty website before adblock, mixed with the fear of comedown and the risk of going to shitty places to score. Like a tug of war between the "HAPPY NOW!!!" team vs the "happy ending (with some hard to earn bits of happy now)" team. It ofcourse depends on the drugs too. I feel like this about meth. About other drugs am more chill.
 
depends on what drugs i’m doing, i don’t have the same reaction to them all. opioids and benzos i feel a slightly fiendish excitement, looking forward to the pleasure and the relief from my severe and chronic pain/anxiety. ketamine is the same.

on the other hand before taking psychedelics i’m filled with a debilitating anxiety almost tipping over into dread. i absolutely love psyches, but ive had some really intense and difficult trips. none that i would really call “bad” but intense. having such intense experiences and undergoing such effects has not only given me a major respect for what the drug can do, but they’ve given my body an almost physiological reaction. knowing that i’m going to trip and undergo that fills my body with anxiety. i get the same with MDMA, albeit to a lesser extent. i don’t feel much before weed, tho nowadays while ON weed i get crippling anxiety and panic, which has made me get anxious if i decide to use it on the rare occasion i do

i can’t really speak to, cause i haven’t done much in a long time. no amphets in 7 years, coke a couple times since. but it’s similar to opioids but it’s much much more fiendish. i almost don’t feel anything but a need to take it and more.

now that i just smoke pot and do psychedelics, i'm not very weary of my drug use.

not really sure what i was thinking when i used to go hard... when i was a teen i used to hope i'd die sometimes before using dramamine... not cool vibe. not the way to live. hopefully if anybody out there feels that way, they can get over it.
 
Excited and euphoric. Like, te euphoria from having the drugs and being about to do them is almost as good as the euphoria from the drugs themselves.
 

How do you feel before doing drugs? good question, it is a very real condition you get prior to them being in your system. Tell you a story, same principle. I was in 7th grade living in a small town in Georgia, another student older than me chewed tobacco and I asked for a plug. Even though I had no prior experience with tobacco my body and mind's natural response craved what it sensed to be something good and rewarding based on what seemed appealing to the other student.


A good article

I'll never do Salvia again that is for sure, I have never experienced something that fucked up, makes ego death seem like heaven, I had no idea a drug could do that to you. 25 years ago and a thousand heavy trips later and I still remember it vividly.
 
It depends. If im withdrawing from heroin I usually feel extremely anxious until I have the drug in my hand and then when i do, its like the wds go away before ive even had the drug. Then the feeling of sweet nothing comes over me as I use it.

Before IV'ing meth I usully get quite nervous. Sometimes meth blows my mind and I rush hard, other times its just instant effects and i never know which will happen.

Most other drugs I tend to feel a sense of novelty that was once caution, borderline fear/excitement. Now I dont really take anything that will evoke too much discomfort.
