at what age did you start understanding the appeal of drugs?

I was around 10 or 11 when I started reading trip reports on Erowid and BL and got interested in drugs - I remember really hating 5th grade DARE and wanting to correct the cop bitching about the usual gateway theory, LSD in your spine BS. Didn't want to fail the 5th grade, though, heh (which iirc is what happened if you didn't pass DARE).8)

I tried pills when I was ~11 or 12, weed and alc at 15/16. I didn't really use drugs regularly til I was like 17, though.
 
13.

At 12, I was in elementary school listening to the D.A.R.E. cop drone on about drugs thinking, "What's the big deal? I would never use drugs. Drugs are for losers."

At 13 I was in high school fantasizing about trying weed and learning everything I could about it until I finally tried it at 16. Haven't looked back since. :)

This was around the same time that major changes were happening in my life--new school, depression set in, my sexuality was changing (attracted to same sex for first time), puberty, etc. Everything seemed to change overnight, including my desire to use drugs.
 
At around 15 i started wondering what the deal with alcohol and pot were, but i didn't want to smoke cause i was convinced smoking was terrible and alcohol tasted bad.

One of my friends brought percs to school one time and i tried it since i kindof looked it up and then i realized what the deal was, i smoked pot for my first time within that week.
 
Smoked for the first time with my older cousins when I was in 5th grade and loved it. They were in middle school at the time so it wasn't like a high schooler smoking up a little kid lol. After that I became fascinated with drugs, and I still am to this day. Sexy Drugs + Sexy Women + Delicious Food = All You Need in Life my friends!!!

I remember the first time I tried hard liquor it was in 7th grade. Me and best friend filled up a water bottle of bacardi from my parents liquor cabinet, went into my room and poured it into two cups. We had no idea it was going to burn, and the excitement of YEAH BACARDI turned into OMG!!!! haha i'll never forget it.

To show my fascination of drugs, a childhood favorite snack of mine, salami and cheese roll ups with the cheese on the outside. I just had a few of these as I read eating a high fat meal increases the effect of the opana. Anyway, I used to roll these up, ride my bike around the neighborhood and pretend I was smoking cigarettes lol. Then I graduated in 5th grade to stealing my parents cigarettes lol.

i guess my desire to alter my consciousness coincided with that as well. definitely seems connected
 
I started drinking around 14/15. Then started smoking weed around 16 and taking ecstasy around 16/17. I was about 17 when I become complete open to pretty much everything.
 
I started reading a lot about cannabis at around 15, and then eventually became interested in the whole spectrum of mind-altering substances
 
I knew a lot about drugs and the like since I was young, but always was against them. It wasn't until I got properly wasted for the first time at Schoolies when I was 17 that I finally decided to take the plunge. Starting doing codeine soon after, then the next year came into contact with Oxycodone. That's when the pull really got me...
 
DARE all the way baby! I remember them bringing in a video explaining that LSD caused users to hallucinate to the point where they "saw sounds and tasted colors." That blew my little mind. I couldn't fathom what that was like and knew I had to try it. At the same time, the PCP videos and footage of people overdosing turned me off to dust and harder drugs.
 
drank myself retarded a few times when i was 11 sitting alone in my basement. realized the power, avoided it like the plague.

round 15 stole a huge amount of painkillers slowly and spent an entire summer in euphoria.

16 smoked weed for 3 yrs straight not a single day off all day every day

17 binge drinking alcoholic & back on opiates

nothing new in the last 2 years
 
5th grade DARE class.

Agreed.

I understood the appeal of drugs when a police officer came into my classroom and told me that they were bad..... I think I started sniffing my markers and white-out right after he left the room.
 
Drank some beers in middle school, but I really started drinking to get drunk and smoking in ninth, so what was I, 13? But back then I was only for weed-- I still had the false dangers of other drugs imprinted into my head from health class.
 
I'll have to say it was early in my freshmen year of high school, so I would have been 14. My friends always told me how cool drugs were, so one time I tried a Vicodin pill that they gave me. I'm not sensitive to opiates at all so I couldnt really feel it and kind of blewit off.

Then a week later my friend gave me two 25mg Adderall Pills that I took before class. Thats when it changed. Being that high really sparked an interest in drugs. I was completely fascinated that something so small could make you feel so insanely different. The rest is history
 
Well the appeal started after I first got high on marijuana when I was 14. That's where it all began really. I thought, "holy shit, so this is why people use drugs, i wonder what the others are like..." and away I went. 7 years later and it's been one hell of a bumpy ride.
 
Got plastered drunk on cooking brandy every so often from around 12-13, discovered marijuana shortly after. At 16 was given a pure molly gelcap, that first experience made me very interested in psychonautics, ate shrooms that same year.. I love psychedelics, entheogens haven't been so kind to me (or rather I did not respect them and was burned for it). It seems with psychedelics no matter how bad a trip I have afterwards I feel refreshed, as if each time I am somehow born anew. I happen to like "bad trips", in that I like to tread the darker spectrum of human feeling when I am on psychedelics. Can't wait to eat shrooms again, I prefer shrooms to acid without a doubt.... What was this thread about again? lol
