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

APPEAL of drugs

Just wanted to remind everyone that this thread is about when you started to understand the appeal of drugs. It is not about what age you were when you first got high, there is another thread for that.

Ex: When I was 14, I came home and saw my brother and friends smoking weed. I ended up watching a movie with them, and they were all laughing so hard. They seemed so happy, that I wanted to feel the same way. That's when I understood the appeal of weed.

Carry on.

For myself, they're one and the same. I'd already been drunk a few times and smoked weed (to no effect) once, but it was when I dropped my first pill of MDMA at 16 that I was like 'holy shit, this drug is awesome, I wonder how good all the others are?' Before that I was fairly ambivalent towards drugs.
 
i was interested as soon as a was told i shouldnt do them, i was taught:drink beer and smoke cigs, just dont do drugs. this was at about 7-8, downed 2 halfs of lager and missed a school trip due to hangover!, and i had images of pills and needles and bad drug pushers in my mind. naturally i was intrigued. then i was very anti drug untill i started drinking, and eventually smoking.

i started reading up on drugs and smoking cannabis at 15, took a pill at 16 and was becoming alcoholic, then speed, pills, mushrooms with more alcohol and weed, was drinking like a fish and smoking lots of weed mostly. weekends were exessive binges. at 21 got into ghb pretty deep, tand then heroin for a few months. totally screwed my health all round. now i'm trying to recover from those years and start something new. although i know i can never replace the times i had with drugs, especially the escape of IV heroin. i will always have temptations.
 
Beginning courtship with Lady Opium

At age 15 I read Coleridge's "Kublah Khan" for the first time. I was smitten with the idea of a substance that could produce such imagery. DeQuincey's "Confessions" followed. When my parents scheduled me for wisdom teeth removal, I was giddy with the thought that I could finally experience opiates (Vicodin - this was 22 years ago). She was everything I had imagined with such anticipation and so much more. Effortlessly, I stayed awake for hours, my mind flowing with exquisitely detailed, brilliantly colored fantasy.
Although our relationship has undergone many changes throughout the intervening years -- sometimes a loving partnership, sometimes veering out of control -- I still stand in awe of Her beauty and power. Our "honeymoon" continues today; I look forward to many more years of Her love.
 
I first became interested in using drugs as soon as I realized that so many people were always telling me how dangerously enjoyable they are. I was probably about 8 or 9 when I understood the appeal, and decided to seek them out 4 or 5 years afterward.

Who knows where I would be if it wasn't for DARE. Maybe the seed would have never been planted
 
14 was when I first drank and smoked, 15 when was when I had my first spliff. I remember being one of those people who said "I'll only ever do weed" but that changed at 16
 
I will never forget that DARE class video.. with the rabbit buggin out and the giant talking needles and they take shrooms and go crazy.

I honestly believe that that video influenced me more than anything else to try drugs.
 
17, i was a late bloomer lol. I was the perfect christian boy until that lifestyle stopped appealing to me...
But within a year got myself into all the goods:
pot, adderall, salvia, mdma, ketamine, coke, codeine, shrooms, dph, duster, amphetamine, heroin.
 
I Guess it must have been around age 14-15, inspired by books and a fateful class, when my ethics teacher reported about his mescaline trip...
Although i now know he described an utterly bad trip, it intrigued me enough to become the self-declared psychonaut i am today :)
 
I grew up around drug addicts an alcoholics, so I hated drugs until about 16. I started doing some research on Marijuana and gave it a try an liked it.
 
This is gonna sound really ridiculous, but the first thing that ever got me really interested in drugs was The Beatles Anthology -- the documentary that aired on TV in 1995, not the albums. I was 12 then... had already been drinking on the weekends but I always considered alcohol different and acceptable. Watching that on TV made me really interested in dropping acid and smoking weed. It took another year or two before I actually did smoke weed (and to this day I've NEVER dropped acid, and at this point never will!) but that was the initial spark that ignited my curiosity. Before then, drugs were nasty, evil, dirty, whatever... seen through a very positive review of the 60s and the hippie culture they were something else entirely, and that all jived with my predisposition to think that everything and everyone in a position of authority is full of shit.
 
Probably when I was 14 and though raving and electronic music was cool, so I wanted to try ecstasy when I hard my friend thizzed all the time. First time ditched school and walked around rolling balls.

Then by age 16 I learned that life aint fair. Nothing is the way it should and life is meaningless. Got hooked on heroin did a lot of coke and meth.

Now I realized life is still fucked up but, I want to live and change the way things work.
 
Last year, when I was 18. I always had a group of friends who did some sort of drug, and I was sure it was awesome (that's why they're DRUGS), but I didn't really feel like getting into it until I got out of my shitstorm of high school.
Very good personal decision.
 
I've been fascinated by drugs for a long time - probably since I was around 10 or so, when we first started talking about them in school. Of course, the talk was always negative, but I've always been pretty good at separating fact from bullshit. I didn't actually try any drugs until I smoked pot for the first time when I was 14, but I always found them incredibly interesting, and planned on trying quite a number of them when the opportunity arose.
 
I was against drugs as a kid; my mom was a really bad crack addict/crack head. When I was 19 and a freshman in college, my room-mate, as well as my best friend, kept trying to get me to smoke weed. I grew up with just my dad and thought drugs were the devil because I was afraid that if I tried weed, a "gateway drug," that I too might become a drug addict. I was very straight and narrow-minded at the time, as well as poorly informed about drugs in general so I avoided weed and such, but I quickly realized that a lot of the other students liked to unwind with weed so one night I thought, "what the hell," and smoked a blunt with my roomie and another friend of ours. I only took two hits and I was high as a kite. It was then that I realized that drugs were not the devil, in fact and I would smoke occasionally with my friends and room-mate. My mom, who was no longer a crack head sold weed, and would give me free dime-bags every so often.

After that, I tried coke with my best friend a few times when we went out to the bar. I pretty much stuck to weed, though.

A few years later, when I was 22, my boyfriend started doing percs and oxys occasionally, and I was quite wary at first, but eventually I tried it and I realized how awesome it felt. We had been blowing pills together for some time and eventually an opportunity presented itself and we tried heroin for the first time. I found the drug I liked best.

Now, my boyfriend and I blow heroin a few times a week, together. We occasionally drive our dealer to pick up from his supplier so we get a good deal, and a free bag here and there.We keep ourselves in check, definitely, and I don't think drugs are that evil anymore, so long as you keep yourself together and such. My understanding of drugs has definitely changed, and I have no regrets whatsoever about drugs, so long as you don't let it take over your life.
