i smoked pot before i drank alcohol; technically there's video evidence of my stealing beers at my parents wedding. i smoke my first cigarette around the age of 8 or something ridiculous like that with my older girl cousin.
this thread just brought back the memory of my first opiate high when my aunty gave me 2 panadeine fortes for spraining my ankle. she specifically told me not to drink any alcohol but being 17 and borderlining alcoholism i didn't listen and got proper fucked up after i went back for a couple more pills when i realised how nice they felt. never really thought twice about opiates until the next year when i started on pain management - even then it took me a while to develop the habit and dependency i'm mixed up in now.
The First two made me think of things I would of never thought of before, it helped me open my mind and understand the world better.
The second two drugs also opened my mind to a new branch of understanding, but this wasn't a good way but just a fake way of telling me my place of existence in this world.
