are there any drugs that you can only use when you are in a good mood?

[foodcrisis]

for TL,DR, i found out i'm gonna be able to smoke weed on the property i'm moving some of the time when i thought it was entirely smoke free, so i've been in a lot better of a mood which is enabling me to drink more coffee and smoke more pot with out feeling bad.. i'm wondering what drugs people don't enjoy as much or can't do when they are feeling down or not right about something and what drugs they can do any time even if they are experiencing bad stuff emotionally.

i've been talking about moving to smoke free housing recently on this board a lot with a pretty big weed habbit and how even though i still have a couple years living with my parents where i can smoke as much as i want, knowing i have to cut down has caused me to have some highs where i just don't really feel as good. i've just generally not been feeling as good with my physical well being with what is presented to me.

so anyways, i was uncertain if people were even allowed to smoke on the property where i was moving. so i thought i was gonna have to go to some side street and smoke weed at the tips of cigarettes so i would smell like cigarette smoke if any cops stopped me. i was planning to do this at night and in the winter when i couldn't walk into the woods. there is a sign in woods trail to not go in there at night, so i wouldn't want to get searched smelling like weed. there are areas where i could smoke full joints in the day with out tobacco, but the thing that sucks is i get hallucinations from HPPD when i smoke weed, and if i were to have to walk down the street with cars going home from smoking, i'd get into a mindset where the hallucinations turned off. this was really bugging me out because i love the visual hallucinations.... so anyways, my dad went for a walk the other day and said he saw people smoking cigarettes on the property i'm gonna be moving. he was talking to them and they said you were allowed to smoke cigarettes on the property. there was one of those things they encourage people to put cigarette buns in there in a smoking spot... this put me in such a good mood. i couldn't really drink more than a cup or two of coffee with out my thoughts about having to move getting me nervous. i felt like my life was getting ruined.. like my automoated breathing just doesn't work to make me feel good when i'm in a bad mood.. so anyways, despite that weed isn't allowed on the property. i feel safe to smoke. i love putting like a half gram of weed at the tip of a cigarette and then smoking the rest of the cigarette to hide the smell... i won't be doing this when other people are outside during the times of year people would be out smoking, like it's mostly a place for old people, but they let disabled people in to.. so i feel like i'll be kind of an odd person being a bit younger living with all the elderly. i dont want them to rat me out.. but in the winter when it's snowing and i can't go into the woods. i can just smoke on the property and walk back inside. i was watching all you tube videos of people walking through halls in apartment buildings and from what the building looks like, walking through the halls is probably trippy and the lighting will probably be conducive to me getting high and having hallucinations when i walk back inside from the cold to my appartment. i like temperature shifts, so this has put me in lot better of a mood enabling me to drink more coffee.




so i'm thinking, coffee and weed kind of is something i can only go hard with if i'm in the right mood.. a lot of people say they can't deal with psychedelics if they aren't in the right head space... personally i can kind of flake out and forget what's going on on them.. maybe it's not always wise to trip in a bad mind set, but i'm not sure if it's something that i don't do....
opiates are something people seem to do in shit situations. not sure if anybody has any opinions.... stimulants, i'm not sure, like coke is pretty numbing probably even if you feel bad. i guess you could get addicted to meth with out feeling good. i've never tried it, but i'd think it would be better in a good mood, like probably coke too. i've tried adderall and coke but never meth.. i dunno, opiates is just kind of like turning everything off. i dunno if stimulants really do that. kind of still aware of everything on stimulants and left to dwell imo. maybe they can be a good coping tool. like being high is good, so a person can just not care and deal with stuff better. i'd think with me smoking weed and coffee and not being able to cope with my problems, meth and stimulants wouldn't really help me... i know people traditionally cope with their problems with alcohol. obviously this has different results and some people don't do well....

how do you guys respond to stuff like this? anybody care to write about this stuff? seems like a pretty thought provoking subject... i can't stop having an extra couple cups of coffee for the past few days. not very hardcore drug use, but coffee and weed is a pretty apparent buzz, and gets pretty cool having hardcore HPPD like i do. like i hallucinate more when i'm in a good mood i'm pretty sure.

i feel like this post is triggering for people to do heroin, but i thought it'd be a topic people could get into talking about although it's not that helpful, maybe people just haven't read it. sometimes it takes a couple days to get responses on this site... i thought maybe it'd be helpful for people to recognize when to put down, and also helpful in a way which might not be generally accepted that they actually can use.

also i'm kind of making it sound like opiates are good for people in bad times. i think every one should know the dangers and problems with using opiates and how they can make a person's life hard... i'm just wondering how people respond to different drugs under stress, particularly have some interest in peoople's stimulant experiences and if they find them better when feeling good or if it doesn't matter if they are going through hard times..

honestly, i drank 4 cups of coffee with a bunch of weed last night instead of two, and when i was having problems with my thoughts about living situation coffee and weed would cause me to get nervous for the past couple months. i've taken time off drugs and i get nervous while sober. if i'm smoking i tend to be able to fall asleep eventually where if i'm sober i'll never sleep, so even if weed makes me nervous and it's not the best time, it's still better to smoke cause i'll get a better nights sleep. being anxoius and having bad thoughts causes me to forget to breath. i call this my automated breathing. it seems to stop working when i'm feeling down.

last night though knowing my living situation was better, i just started breathing really good. i got really stimulated. didn't need to lay down in bed cause i was so stressed out. i just felt good. didn't really feel compelled to continuously rip bowls either. like i smoked a lot, but it wasn't fucking up my lungs... when i went to bed, i was laying down just breathing really well for a while. it felt so good that it wasn't like being tired and bored and just wanting to fall asleep... i woke up after a couple hours when sometimes i'd be tired and not feeling good from how i was sleeping, but i was breathing really good. it's funny i can take uppers or downers and get into good automated breathing patterns even when the drugs where off, and i'm still stuck in meditative breathing states. i'm pretty sure this is some kind of anomaly. i've never heard this described. maybe there's something scientific to it. the power of breathing is supposed to have a lot of effect on people's bodies and brains. anyways, i went back to bed for a few more hours and here i am now. i woke up feeling pretty good, that's not always the case.

anyways, i'm open to comments... have been talking a lot about my experiences with coffee, and weed, and how i haven't been feeling good with what my living situation is... sometimes i'll get a heart emoji or whatnot.... definitely interested in people's stimulant stories during bad times.. i'm gonna guess it's bad, but wondering if there's any crazy fuckers that have been homeless or had to work fucked up jobs and just get drugged up with out caring, or if that's not you on the other end of that.

All drugs are bad when you feel bad.
Except hard drugs.

I think that’s what makes them hard really.

Heroin. Feel better all the time no matter what I’m going through unless it’s a situation where I absolutely cannot use heroin because then I’ll start being in a terrible mood until I get to the place where it’s safe to use heroin. Absolute bullshit and it’s like a constant timer. Devastating to realize that’s why you keep leaving moms an hour earlier than you need to

Cocaine. Feels absolutely great all the time. Even when your nose is completely raw and bleeding. Even when it’s the last of your money. Even when you’ve got nothing going on I. Your life but a mirror and a straw and some tv before you have to go do your shit life routine over again just to get back to the tv and the straw. How fucking miserable.

Methamphetamine. Your grandma could have just died and smoking about as much meth as you possibly can sounds like possibly the best idea you’ve had in a long time. It’ll help take the edge off. Not off your grandmas death no. It’ll take the edge off the constant nagging thought that
You should do more meth.

And psychedelics.
Ever had an existential crisis? Ever had an existential crisis on acid?

lol

Weed is basically the only drug I can think of that actually makes you feel legitimately better when you take it when you feel bad. It’s a veneer. You’ll feel bad about what you feel bad about later. But for the moment you’re okay. You’re high.

I'd agree on the weed. Weed is almost always a bad time for me. If I'm depressed or feeling down, it'll just make me anxious and/or panicked and still depressed. If I'm in a good mood then there's a chance that it will be neutral or maybe even slightly enjoyable. More likely to still make me anxious, but if I'm in a good mood going in then it's easier for me to ride out the anxiety. I can actually enjoy weed if I'm smoking with a friend or family. I can enjoy the high with little to no anxiety. I think that's both because I'm usually in a better mood in those situations and also because I'm talking and engaged and not trapped with my own thoughts. There's also the feeling of comfort and safety when someone who I trust is there. When I'm by myself and I smoke it's very easy for me to convince myself that I have some serious yet to be diagnosed disease and that I'll be dead in 4 years.

What I find kind of strange is that I enjoy weed while on psychedelics. Whether I'm tripping by myself or with a friend I can smoke like a chimney on psychedelics and that's with zero tolerance. I think the reason for that is because on psychedelics my mind is already altered and leaning in that direction, so it's much less jarring when the weed kicks in. When I'm not tripping it's the transition from sober to stoned that freaks me out. It's quick and strange. If it was more drawn out I think I'd enjoy it a lot more. I can enjoy edibles if I don't go overboard
