" I feel bad for those who have never been addicte
Hey friends.l Im wanna start a thread that compiles everyones ideas in order to successfully moderate your use and techniques that you may have to accomplish this. Im guessing there are many poly drug users here that are not addicted to any substance but use drugs moderately with no negative effects in your day to day life. So any tips?

I have been a poly drug user for 3 years and i still have been lucky enough to manage my love of getting high. Many days i will just smoke lots of weed which makes me content and lowers the feeling like i should get a pill or whatever else. Kratom and weed are really saviors.

Sometimes i will also snort a tiny bit of suboxone when i know that i have been using opana too much so then if i would use it would be a waste.
An many times when i have a full day and i know i will be busy for most of it i always tell myself that i will just save it until a longboring day because i know it will be much more useful insteead on just dosing and then going to bed a couple hours later.

An also obviously there is those times when i just stay clean for a week. =D

I hope people contribute i would like to have a good base of knowledge in self control. Winky face.
 
The only thng that works for me is not buying any and not having easy access to buying any, It wasnt alwasys that way I used to get so fucked up at the weekend all I wanted to do in thr week was smoke hash and go to bed, now I'm to old (and have kids) thoe long weekends are athnigs of the past and my true drug pigery has shown itself in full force
 
When it comes to pills, I put them in a Mon - Sun container, this works most of the time although I think it's purely psychological. If I keep them in a bottle or whatever I have to constantly keep counting them, god forbid I run out..HaHaHa! I never keep all my pot in one place, I put the bulk of it in a mason jar out of sight ans take my daily/weekly ration out. If I'm going out I only take what I need, never all off it, I tend to be far too generous and often the generosity is not reciprocated. My boyfriend makes fun of me for rationing like I do, I don't think he knows the meaning of the word. HaHa! Hope this helps! Peace<3
 
I dont moderate my drug use,
I just have a Rota LOL

So when i do raves,
1 night i do ket,
another night i do ket,
Neighh! neighh! neighh!

Then one night a month or so on mdma.
Now im chucking Mxe into it too!
So my rota now hows 3 Options :)
 
blondie i am the same way w/ my pill bottle...i keep counting trying to figure out when my next refill is and how many i can take each day...good call on the pill boxes, I have one actually.

I also try to wait and take them for a time I can actually enjoy them; like I'll take Kratom if I've still got things to do but want to feel good, and save my pills for night when I can truly relax alone and enjoy. Like PP said I don't want to waste it if I can't enjoy it all.

I'm pretty sure I'll be out of pills soon and so I'm going to try and just do kratom at night (or the fake pot I have) for awhile. I can tell when my tolerance has gotten out of hand, so I usually try and taper at that point.
 
Keeping oneself busy. Spending time with non-drug using friends, doing hobbies and working. Not thinking about drugs is really half the battle; if you can keep yourself distracted and content, then restricting your drug use really is not too hard unless you're heavily reliant on a certain substance.
 
Use them solely to augment experiences/actions. Never consume them without an end in mind.
 
I have done benzos, pot, salvia, amphetamines, and will soon be trying some other hallucinogens.

I take benzos and stimulants as needed and use pot when I feel like it. I also drink, sometimes heavily, when I go to clubs or parties. I live a fairly ordinary life, have a stable job, and am not addicted to any substance.

My big advice to people is to not treat drugs as an end in themselves but as a means to an end. They can help you be happy at times, they are not your key to happiness. They can help you be social, they are not your social side. They can help you better know yourself, but don't use them every time you want to meditate.

Also think about it this way, the key to having fun is not becoming tolerant or dependent.

I am a full believer that drugs can be used recreationally and safely so long as common sense is followed and people have the willpower for it. If not, perhaps you shouldn't be using. :\
 
I just don't buy drugs if I need to limit my use. And when I do buy, I only buy small amounts.

that's polydrug abuse, no offense, so don't think you're moderating your use just by switching different chems up.

i'm interested to see how this thread develops; hopefully i can put a few suggestions into practice. moderation is something i have a lot of trouble with.
 
Dude, I really wish I had the willpower to moderate my drug use. Just now I just splurged on 90mg of oxy when I already did 60mg earlier tonight. G'dammit!!!!! I only had a few pills left too...pfffffffff

I too am interested in seeing other replies since I really need to control my willpower! I think that's really the only way to moderate....

Yesss good post and this is really reallyyy important! Make sure you atleast have a hobby or something you can do to kill time. "idle hands are the devils plaything" is what my grandma used to say (not really).

Blondie also brought up a good point about only taking what you need if you have something in bulk and many times when im going to buy some drugs and i have extra cash on me i will only bring along enough money for 1 pill or whatever for that day so i dont end up buying more shit out of impulse just cause i ahve the money.

Edit: Also EndlessSummer great post! I think that is where many people get into trouble and fall into addiction. "i need this to be social" "i need this too be happy" "I need this to relax". Drugs can be used safely and responsibly and you dont "need" any of them.
