Your drug use: Did you ever think you'd be where you are now?
For me it all started one sunny summer afternoon when a friend from school said that he had finally gotten hold of the weed that I had wanted. I had been interested in drugs ever since we started learning about them in year 9 health. Even though this class was supposed to be teaching us the dangers of drugs it only kindled a facination in altered states of consciousness.
So I got the weed, waited until my mother had left for the supermarket and smoked about half a gram in a dodgy homemade bong I'd made. And that was it. I was introduced into a different level of consciousness, a place where time was delayed and inconsistent, thoughts went off on tangents freely and food tasted better than it ever had before. I loved it.
Fastfoward 4 years and I'm now 19 and still using drugs. The question is did I see myself still using drugs at this age when I smoked that first cone? Did I think that I would try substances like MDMA and Meth? And did I think that I would end up spending my holidays from uni smokig pot 4-5 times a day nearly everyday?
The answer is no. I thought I might dabble in pot for alittle while then stop. I didn't see myself going to raves and dropping pills and I certainly didn't see myself taking drugs like oxycodone or valium in an attempt to stop myself feeling so bad on the comedown.
Although I'm happy where I am in life, I am definately doing more drugs than I invisioned when I was 15, does this make me unhappy? No, but it does suprise me.
any way guys, your probably asleep after that but the questions I ask you all is:
1. When you first started taking drugs did you think that you'd end up taking many different types of substances?
2. Did you think that your attitudes would change on particular drugs?
3. Did you think you'd be so involved in the drug taking culture?
4. And do you have any regrets and wish that you could have gone into this lifestyle with maybe a little more wisdom, maturity or even money
?
Thought this would be a good conversation topic and a good retrospective analysis of how your life has gone since taking drugs. It would be particularly interesting to hear from those who have been in the scene for a long time.
