How do you view your drug usage?

(Forgive me if there's been threads like this before - I did a few quick searches with only vaguely similar results)

I'm wondering how to phrase this... Everyone on this forum has some level of experience with at least a few drugs. Some people are much more frequent users, while others only partake occasionally. I was just wondering, are you "okay" with your drug habits, or have you been meaning to change them to something that you feel more acceptable? It seems that some people aren't okay with their habits, but a lot of other people are. What about you? Do you feel that you have control over your habits? Even if you are dependent on drugs to some level, are you accepting of the fact, and not viewing it as a problem? (Personally, I have a recreational cannabis usage that I am okay with - I don't feel like I *should* be doing anything to change my ways.)

I hope that up there makes sense. I'm also a bit of a greenlighter, so feel free to move/delete/edit this topic as necessary.
 
It all depends on the substance.

I have a methamphetamine addiction that was totally out of control for a couple of years. I'd score as often as I could, however I could. But I'm now managing to slowly lower my intake, and I hope to eventually quit the stuff for good. Benzos are also a problem for me... I'm physically dependant on clonazepam and I also abuse it from time to time. But other drugs, like weed and alcohol, I just use occasionally. I can say "no" if I'm offered it and I'm not in the mood.
 
TBH I view it almost like a hobby. I get as much enjoyment out of reading about and discussing all the issues to do with drugs as I do taking them :) I remember someone here saying that drugs are so interesting because they encompass so many fields: chemistry, pharmacology, biology, botany, psychology, etc etc.

I don't have any issues acknowledging my drug use; in fact I feel it's quite important that my friends accept it because it's part of me. I haven't talked explicitly about it with my parents but I think they know I'm interested in the field and experimentation, but would be responsible and safe. Also I don't say much about it at work, for obvious reasons. A few people who have become good friends rather than just workmates, I have told, and some have even used themselves!

I reckon usage is under control and pretty much always has been. Once or twice I've felt that usage was beginning to be more than an occasional treat and have adjusted accordingly. These times have always been when I've need to make other changes in my life, so in one sense it's been helpful because it acts as a 'red flag' that I need to think about what I'm doing and where I'm going in general in my life.
 
That depends on the drug. I take ecstasy and smoke weed occasionally and it is fun and positive in my life.

I also use methamphetamine but that stopped being fun a long time ago. I still have moments of good times on it (usually when hanging out with mates) but the daily grind brings with it much stress. I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on it, and although I'm pretty open about drug use, I have to hide this due to the amount and frequency I use. Most days I try to think of a way out of it.

I'm also trying to quit smoking cigarettes and that has not been fun.
 
theres a thread called how okay are u with ur drug use, i believe is the name of it . i forget ill look around, this def been done but might be in the archive now so ill come back to it,. good looks on searchin first:)
 
My view on my substance abuse is "if I stay smart, I can have fun." I always research what I do and know how to/how much to dose. Only problem is this nasty relationship with speed I'm falling into.
 
I am okay with my drug use for the most part, I tend to do different sorts of drugs on different occasions, so I don't really overdo anyone drug. The only drug I seem to have a problem with is heroin because its hard not to go overboard esp. if your dopesick, but I'm still gonna try figure out ways to keep it under control.
 
Was outta control. Seriously. All my money going to pain pills, patches, etc. Finally got on Bupe and now all that money goes to something that doesn't get me sick or high. I just feel myself again after a 10 year long fight. But I've relapsed and have been doing fent and methadone after 16months of sobriety. Granted, this "relapse" is more of a slip, because it's only been a 2 wk. run. Back on bupe by this coming Monday or Tuesday, depending on when the wd's kick in.
 
Im happy with my use just weed and alcohol, maybe some acid so its all good. I used to use lots of benzos and had a nice opiate addiction. When I look back it was stupid but at the time i was fine with it.
 
I'm happy with my 'harder' (anything other than weed) drug use, calmed it down big time. I'll take some MD, or some mushrooms or acid or what have you, y'know the not soi heavy stuff. but that's once a month or two now..

Just my weed smoking is through the roof, gotta chill out on that soon.
 
Well Ive been smoking a lot of weed for awhile to just get rid of the loneliness, which isnt doing any good. A cap of GHB every few nights to break the monotony doesnt hurt, but im afraid it might get more frequent if my life keeps sucking. Besides that, I just do E and psychs at raves, which I am more than happy with.
 
i feel my drug use is way over the top. i just seem to have no limit and i dont understand why i cant just fucking stop or slow down. i just think that drugs will solve every fucking problem in life when it is making everything else.
 
I'm fine with it. It's a hobby.

Sometimes i've felt like i smoked weed too often, but lately i'm convinced that i don't need to smoke every day (since i havn't been smoking every day), so i'm more confident in it.

My spending on research chems that i don't have time to take is a bit excessive though...
 
My drug habits as of today consist of smoking weed 3-4 times a week, and tripping on acid or mushrooms 1-2 times a month and I am completely fine with this. I do not do drugs if I do not have the money for them. Rent, food, and the overall essentials of everyday life come first, and if there's money left over, then drugs are purchased.

I can't say I was always like this, though. I just got clean from a 5 year heroin habit on 2/9/2009. That habit lead me to a life of homelessness and depression, and I am so happy to be on a methadone taper right now. When I was using heroin, every penny I had went towards heroin. Heroin came before food. Hell, heroin came before any and everything. It was definitely one hell of a depressing life. I am so grateful to be clean from heroin and cocaine today.

when i was younger I view ma use as mind exploration and introspective uses. but..now i just like to get high
 
Weed is my medication. The best fix I have ever had for all my issues...
The other, a sick game that I can never seem to win at, but I keep trying.
 
As long as I'm doing well in school/relationships/friendships and family life
I do whatever.
I view it as definitly not normal, but other people tend to view my usage worse then me
