Cats or Dogs? Uppers or Downers?

I’m curious whether there are people naturally inclined towards uppers vs people naturally inclined towards downers. If so, what explains the difference?

For example I am definitely a stim person who only takes benzos occasionally to end a binge. I can’t comprehend people who live to go on the nod with opiates. i suppose some people are completely the opposite and can’t comprehend me.

Any views on whether there are two main types of drug fiend? Or is everyone polyamorous?
 
I like downers and normally save stims for pulling me out of my singularity of suicidal ideation.

Psychedelics are always a + and shatter = every day.
 
Both cats and dogs..... as for drugs, i prefer stims but have nothing against downers, just can't afford that kinda habit.... do love a good nod tho
 
Stims, never taken a downer though so I wouldn't know if I'd prefer them.

Edit: I mean I am afraid that benzos and opiates would basically draw me in as soon as I touched them as I am anxious or worry a lot most of the time, and sometimes I have trouble sleeping, so probably it would be like really hard for me to control myself and I also hate the idea of blacking out and not acting like myself being a possibility.
With stims I might go on binges but very sporadically and my worst, while still unhealthy as fuck, is still really low key compared to what some people do.
I never take crazy high dosages at once, always use a scale, I don't redose excessively often and manage to drink and eat something etc.
I think what helps me with stims is that if I am being stupid, some anxiety and/or paranoia will come up pretty quickly way before sleep deprivation sets in, and I don't really like redosing knowing that I will increase anxiety.
Also I do not feel that good on stims, I mean they feel nice but only high dosages after a few months of abstinence, and tolerance sets in very quickly after the first 3 or 4 doses, and then a fat line of speed feels like a cigarette when you haven't smoked one in a few months.

When I was into drugs and used them as a teen and young adult in my 20s I loved both; but I was very careful not to combine uppers (stimulants) and downers (depressants), or too much of either like alcohol and opiates or benzos, alcohol, and opiates. I had friends who would do this all the time several died, and the rest became or still are polydrug addicts. :-\ :(

I would sometimes take opiates in low or moderate (for me) doses never dope/heroin, just pharmaceutical opiates like oxy, hydrocodone, or codeine. I hated the side effects of nausea, itching, and constipation. I also would start to get really bad stomach cramps on them when coming down so I stopped taking them. I never found sleeping on pharmecutical amphetamines like Dexedrine or Adderall to be difficult. Even when I had taken either in low doses in the late afternoon or early evening I could still easily fall asleep at night. I also would take them before early morning classes and if I was bored in class I would fall asleep. I never used meth, MDMA/MDA, any research chemicals, disassociative drugs, and I tried coke once but liked it way too much so I decided to never use it again and never have.

I have owned both cats and dogs but prefer cats, and I was mainly into LSD, mushrooms, and cannabis/hash. So maybe that is why I preferred psychedelics? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ;)

Stims and psychedelics tried downers often but never really got into them. I guess working long hours stims were always my choice needed that extra kick to keep me awake espically when some working days would end up around 15-16 hours.

Cats are definitely trippy creatures. I prefer them to dogs, but I get along well with dogs too.
 
i consider hydrocodone an upper
bc when i take them i can get up
and do things. really.
so i guess i can't even imagine doing an upper or a downer unless it is a benzo.
coo coo head hylight.
 
I'm a tweaker boozehound get around town type of drug fiend if ye will now I gotta get around town to the right kind of meetings if me wanna see another day it be feeling like now worse and worse yo

I relate to occasional benzo use I never got hooked on any downers other than booze but I can't take the depressant effects need to use a stimulus with it so I am also an alcoholic drug fiend & I would call myself a fiend over an addict cuz of my over the line antics to get a fix a gremlin sized one though

Stim crashes these days plunge me into suicidal mindscapes combined with savage alcoholism I will adopt the concept of the disease I am not a physical daily dependent type more like sporadic binger who some nights might only have a few or none without meetings nor therapy nor coaching though the days off seem to be lessening and the binges are becoming more of a regular scary pattern I cannot seem to escape from

I definitely prefer downers all the way, although I am polyamorous lol. And I’m a dog person for sure.
 
I'd say both. They balance each other out, ying-yang. I think getting high is an art form.

But mostly uppers I guess. Or at least I tend to enjoy the stimulating (upper-like) effects more than the sedating ones, even if the drug isn't technically a stimulant.
 
I'm hyper-sensitive to stimulants ; they don't agree with me.
Fuck even a second cup of coffee will make me jittery and slightly nauseous.

Downers all the way for me. Though taking them with the express intention to just nod out is a waste of a good chemical in my opinion.

PS dogs are nice but prefer cats.
Dogs need too much attention and general looking - after. If I wanted to live with a toddler that never grows up , I'd adopt a retarded kid. A cat at least will back off when I'm not in the mood for snuggles, and won't starve if I forget his feed 'cause I'm smacked - out on the couch
