How did you first 'discover' illegal drugs?

the first night I tried pills I had gone to buy a 1/2 oz of hash and the lad never had any so offered me a couple of pills instead.

Similar situation to me. Only I had some hash on me but didn't get a chance to have a smoke before going into to my girlfriend's 'Debs' so when guys from my class were outside the Debs waiting on a pill delivery I said "Sure get us 2. Never had time for a smoke before the limo came!" & that was that.... welcome to the world of entactogens! %)
 
I was introduced to Ecstasy through my LSD/Speed dealer - he said there's this stuff called Ecstasy going about, you would probably like it do you want me to order you some. Few days later this tablet arrived and so started my love affair !
 
Used to go shooting with my dad during winter, when I was 12. He'd let me have a sip of his whiskey from his pewter, to keep me warm. felt nice.
Mate's dad's homebrew next. Drunk most nights, listening to vinyl.
Then I discovered Jimi Hendrix. He introduced me to LSD
Then I tried LSD at 15 and never looked back.
 
Petrol doesn't count?.. try it with 10 e's inside you and you will trip out of your brains happened my many times in my younger days when pills were decent. We used to rob full sized cylinders of butane gas and take turns at a party putting our heads to it (how I could do with one of those now to heat my flat)

This.

Used to do the same, Gas, Glue, Petrol etc........
We got so fucked up on huge Butane gas canisters for Camping we by accidently set one off & burned several tents down at 3am on a school residential trip.
 
Soapbar and then Herbal Cannabis at 14, introduced by my brother though who was a few years older at the time. Then when buying weed off the older lads at school got introduced to "Speed" at some fireworks display and then continued with Weed/Speed/"Coke" untill I was about 16, bought some coke in Ibiza when I was on holiday with my parents and he chucked in a few pills, ended up doing them every night that holiday.

Didnt discover Ket and Diaz untill I was 18, and then first discovered Acid at the same time through the same dealer. No petroleum on offer though.
 
The first "drug casualty" I ever heard of was a young lass in the town where I grew up, I didn't know her but her big brother was in my class at school. She died from heart failure after huffing a can of hairspray.

Just saying that random gases and fumes are not the HR way :| Even if it does work.

I aint done it in years & in no way was I saying it is ok to do.
Just being of the generation I am it was kind of a regular thing to do back then, Jim Carroll's first few pages of The Basketball Diaries do make it sound kinda "romantic" though in a cheap, off your head kinda way.

Not a good idea kids, listen to Knock.
 
Not suggesting you were advocating it at all Bodda, it was me that brought petrol up after all :D Just making sure the thread is on message. Otherwise alasdair will be on our case telling us that BL does not condone solvent abuse ;)
 
Petrol doesn't count?..

No and I'll tell you why. Because I put 'illegal' in the title for a reason.

When I was about 18 I was living in Northampton by the railway station. Walked around there tripping a lot. Came across some 16/17 year old kids who were glue sniffing under a bridge. When I asked them why they wouldn't do a bit of puff (let alone some acid) instead their answer was forthright.

"It's illegal. This isn't."

To this day that's the best argument I've ever witnessed against prohibition.

That's why petrol don't count.
 
^trying to talk down a glue / petrol /solvent sniffer mate = full on head fuck! Lost too many friends to glue /petrol :(
 
Moved to brighton when I went to uni. Smoked weed before that but never got into it like my mates did, but after I did my first pill I was fucking gone.

A few years ago I was waiting at a train station when some young, pilled up, football thug came over asking for a cigarette. He was telling me about the time he saw a little fairy climb out of his stella can when he was sniffing petrol. One of the funniest things I've seen.
 
First had weed of course, the GATEWAY DRUG, when I was about 15 in school. Then didn't really get into it properly until I was 17 doing A levels when I acquired a dealer and started smoking most of the time.

Class As were pretty late, no one was into them where I grew up, so was at university I got into all of the good stuff.
 
Magic mushrooms on a Grade 10 five day hike into the local National Park. Mixed them into our 2 min noodles and tripped balls around a camp fire under the stars. We managed to lose one of our group, shit ourselves, got a solid story together for when the teachers found out then screamed with relief when he stumbled into camp at day break. Seems he has lost his shit under a tree whilst going for a piss and was too paranoid to reply to our calls. Was an interesting story to recount at our 20 yr reunion last year.
 
He used to heat it up in the microwave and chop it with a massive kitchen knife!
Sounds exactly the same as my resin dealer was. I'd go in and ask for a fiver's, and he'd microwave it, and chop off a little bit. If I went in and asked for a Q, he'd just chop off a massive lump. He only very rarely used scales. He was brilliant, a fiver could get a group of us fucked. Happy times.

First shared a couple of joints with a lad who is now a family member, and a police officer, with a few other lads. I was 13. Kept asking when I'd feel something, but didn't actually end up feeling anything (it seems weed is one of those things that you have to learn the high of, because I had plenty). I took a bit home, and made a joint with a piece of an Argos catalogue page as a skin, with some kiddie glue to stick it, and had it before just before I got on the school bus. That was a fun morning. I started smoking it quite regularly, from that point, until it was a daily thing, and I spent most of my teenage years stoned.

By 16/17, me and my best mate wanted to try something else, but none of our other mates wanted to. I'd done loads of lighter fuel/Lynx, but realised quickly that it was really bad for me. So, we went to buy some ecstasy. We were taking it once, 'just to see what it's like'. My weed dealer (above) had a friend that sold pills. We bought two pills, and had them at my mum's house, with a load of our mates watching us. I'd done quite a lot of reading, so wasn't really too scared. I had 3/4 of a pill, over a night, and just remember being really annoyed, because it didn't do much. I tried eating, and couldn't swallow a bite of food, then ended up being amazed that I could burn my fingers with a lighter, and not feel any pain (I felt it the day after). My mate was fucked, along with another mate who took a quarter of a pill (TTs, by the way. MDMA/speed, from what I read on here). I was very unimpressed, so we got another couple, the next night. We dropped a full one each, with my mum in the house, but she went off to work. I remember playing Carmageddon, and suddenly not being able to understand what I was doing. We invited a couple of female mates 'round, but they left quite soon, because we were an absolute state. Rolling eyes, swinging jaws, and confessing your undying love for people can apparently be frightening. That night changed my life. I woke up curled up on the same bed as my best mate, and knew I'd found something special.

After that, it was lots of pill consumption, then mushrooms not long after, as they were legal, and readily available in shops. I didn't do much else, until I was older. Acid wasn't until about 21. Then it was GBL, speed, 2C-B/D/E/I, benzos, methylone, DOI, codeine and other stuff. I didn't do coke until I was about 24. The rest I can't remember. Sorry for the long post, it was nostalgic. Brilliant thread.

Oh yeah, I remember buying an quarter of crappy soapbar hash when I was well young; it got a group of us fucked for the whole night, with a nice chunk left over in the morning. Then I started doing lungs, which were very popular (and fucking evil), and an eighth would do maybe two or 3 hits at a stretch. Speaking of hash, has the quality improved of late? I haven't brought it for years; it used to be all soapbar, the crap that gives you a grotty "high", sometimes with headaches. There used to be some over-priced slate on offer, but it wasn't all that.

I first discovered drugs at around 14, when I started using my mums 60mg dihydrocodeine pills, I found out they made me feel brilliant, and that was the start of it all for me.
 
A lass brought some shitey hash to school when we were 14/15 and dared me and my mate to eat it, without really saying what it was. My mate was all 'oh yeah, I know what this is, I do this all the time' haha, didn't have a clue really. Wasn't impressed cos it did fuck all, until I was in science class about an hour later and started sweating and getting a bit delusional and tripped out. Sat in the toilets for a bit with my face against the tiles til another friend came down and told me what I'd eaten. Fell asleep in English last period.

The first time I did drugs with full knowledge of what I was doing was a couple months later when a friend rang me fairly early morning to come down to an old warehouse complex where him and a mate of his were smoking weed. Went along and good times were had by all. Place was massive and fun to explore, and the main warehouse had a one storey office building inside it with mattresses on top. Was pretty cool. Went home and ate everything ever.

After that we just slowly graduated to everything else via speed once our weed dealer started selling that and one of us went to the exotic, faraway land of Leeds and came back with acid, pills, and coke.
 
Brilliant thread.

Yeah I'm liking the stories. Like this.

And this;

And I thought there'd be a bit of this,

And that's just from the last few posts.

PS 'Weed the gateway drug' Bwahhaha. Being born is the gateway. The rest is evolution.
 
Kinda makes me a bit sad reading this, seems everyone began at a decent age here, I think me & my mate irl off here were really early going into this world.
Both 11 & hitting the bongs of sticky black, I wish I could change it in a way as I would not be in the place I am now in a way, I looked at my life when I was 15 & saw breaking 28 grams as more easy work, the rest speaks for itself for those that know me :(
 
Cannabis, i had an after school detention came back and my best mate phoned me saying he had some. Went to his house smoked some hash and weed and that was it from that point. at 14 years old and ever since its been the same story. I got to get high

i did get drunk before i tried weed though
 
11 Summer Holiday b4 big school a mate acquired some of his parents "Special" stuff that they put in 2 there Cigarettes .

We went behind a power staion n made a very Fat n loose "Spliff" whitey straight away.

I still know the dude n we are still mates in a loose sense .

Bolox to anyone that says Cannabis is not a gate way drug , absolute Bollox

Once you have tried it & found out it's no big thing it makes you think that the same is true for other Drugs that "Adults" have told you are bad .

I was doing Acid within 6 months LOL!


Absolutely this. Stealing weed aged 11-12 few of us would roll shit spliffs and take buckets in a mates bath lol. Within a year I had tried ecstacy, actual legit cocaine and speed. Not long after came various hallucinogens, benzos and research chemicals.

Weed is definately a gateway drug. But is that a bad thing? Yes drugs have caused me some considerable trouble in the past, however that's human error not the drugs made you do it.

Nowadays I like to think I'm more sensible/less persistant with my drug use. Far less often I take stimulants and try to be prepared with weed/benzos etc for after. I think the internet helped with this..

I love lots of drugs alcohol, stimulants, weed, benzos... They are all fun and useful but all have their downsides and warrent respect.


Was toying with trying a .1 of heroin between a few friends a while back but we came to the conclusion no good story ever starts with taking drugs with as much of a social stigma as heroin. I think I'd probably enjoy it but I'd rather not be known as one of those "fly cunts", "don't trust him he's on the brown" etc. Same goes for crack and meth really, I know all drugs have their uses but you have to define is it worth it.


For instance I wouldn't be writing essays on here on strong base if I didn't know I had 2 days and 20 diazepam to recover ;)
