How Have Your Drug Preferences Changed Over Time?

Used to be a huge stoner... I'll still smoke, but it ain't doing it for me these days...

Used to love psychedelics, but I'd much prefer some dope or oxycodone nowadays. Not averse to a few good hits of Lucy though ;)

I'd say as I get older I prefer euphoric feelings to mindfucks, or something like that!
 
i used to like stuff that relly got me f.cked up no matter what the consequeces but now its all about the stuff like weed that have relly low comedown effects, i dont relly drink that often anymore, or if i do hard stuff like coke or mdxx i do very little, so as to just get a threshold dose
 
the beginning: smoked lots of weed, wasn't very interested in alcohol, didn't want to try other drugs

early college: wanted to do pretty much anything i could get my hands on. mushrooms, pills, research chems, lots of coke, but still not that big of a fan of booze.

mellowing out: lots of pot again, but this time w/ drinking too.

i went through an exploratory phase, but, for me, pot and alcohol are my two drugs of choice. i'll still have the odd psychedelic once or twice a year, but otherwise i'm not really interested in other drugs.
 
The biggest overall change in my drug tastes have been my discovery of opiates and my transition from "sporadic opiate user/daily potsmoker".

^ this describes me good :) only that my transition was from other drugs to sporadic opiate user

tried a lot of things during my young days , i used to like a lot rolling on mdma and dropping acid , but discovered opiates a year or so ago and loved it i use then when i can (wich is sadly not much)
 
Not counting the two main licit drugs, alcohol and tobacco, it started with pot. After smoking for a few years, part that time being a daily user, I started disliking pot. In the meantime, I tried a bunch of other substances, and eventually came to only enjoy opiates. The main theme, except for opiates which I always liked, is that I'll try something and like it for a bit, then grow to hate its effects. I wouldn't touch anything other than opiates even if it was offered for free.
 
13 years old, first joint of hash
15 smoking weed and hash every day
16 getting mad drunk two or three times a week
18 party drugs at university (MDMA, LSD, 2Cx, Ketamine)
20 opiates and benzos after failing second year of uni
22 MMT and benzos with the odd 2Cx or LSD trip every three months on average

so i went from social drugs to anti-social drugs

lol... i allready anwered this... must be the valium and meprobamate and booze;)
 
well I started late, so I progressed pretty fast

15 - first got drunk, it was fun, but not really my thing. I continued drinking at parties and stuff but never became a problem for me

17 - smoked weed for the first time, love at first puff. within a month I was a complete pothead smoking as much as I could as often as I could. around the same time I did acid for the first time, mushrooms at 18, DXM, Ketamine once (I'd love to try again, just its rare in my circle) pretty much whatever you threw at me from 17-19 I'd take it and ask for more.

then came the dark ages LOL, at 20 I discovered through a friend, the joys of OxyContin. started out taking 20mg or so maybe 2 or 4 times a month. that progressed to 2 or 4 times a week, which progressed to daily, which then required me to do 40mg at a time, then 80mg at a time... before I knew it I was full on addicted and trying to kick a fairly respectable OC habit. (I could safely use about 100mg at once, and if money was right, probably 240 to 320mg daily)

that became very expensive, and around the same time I had become interested in shooting up, and heroin. well, it wasn't long before I got some syringes and found a dope connect. so at that point I only used opiates because, shit, everything else was a waste of money. except the occasional benzo if I had the extra cash.

currently, I am on suboxone. this is my third try with it. well, second real try. the last time I only got one script before I stopped going to the doctor.

so to date I've used

alcohol
weed
acid
shrooms
E
K
coke
crack
codiene
oxy/hydro-codone
heroin
hydromorphone
oxymorphone
fentanyl
maybe some others that I'm forgetting, but I doubt it.

my progression has gone from soft "fun" drugs, to hard "do them til your soul dies" drugs. awesome, huh?
 
In a list of drugs in order it would be:
booze
cigarettes
weed
Tylenol w/ Codiene
Vicodin
shrooms
DXM
LSD
cocaine
Mescaline
2CI
5-MeO-DiPT
Oxycontin
Dilaudid
Actiq
Methadose
Heroin
Opana IR/ER
Suboxone


When I was around 14, me and couple of my hoodmates started drinking on the wknds. Couple years later I smoked weed for the first time and claimed that natural drugs are where it's at. Any chemical processed is trash. Weed was it for me for a majority of my school years. When the time came, around 16, My bestfriend and I tried shrooms for the first time. We both were beginners in this area of drugs so we took our time. After a very awesome experience, the research began. LSD was the next on my list and so it made its way to me and my friends. In between the shrooms and the LSD experience, I had my hands in a few things. Various pharms and types of booze. The internet was my infinite playlist of everything I wanted to know. When it came time to drop, I was in my first year of university, my female at the time and I dropped and we were very excited to be trying this for the first time. After all that craziness, it was kind a downward slope. I started slinging whatever the people wanted just so I had free stuff. I'd buy a couple sheets and keep half a sheet to myself. Or get a large amount of Thizzles and be like Rockefeller passing shit around like it aint nothing. The very limited times my roommates and I did cocaine, we messed around with the idea of picking up a blue. That next night, we did just that, swallowed the whole things and proceeded to nodding HARD and puking a few times. As we became for tolerant to it, we enjoyed them more and more.. moving onto 80s and dilaudid and various types of hydrocodone products. My weed guy was finally able to get a couple bags of the local brown, which we proceeded to stick up our noses. My gf(LiTS) and I had a nice time and knew we wouldnt get an opportunity like this again, so we took what we got from it and moved on. The H wasn't that good or it was our tolerances, but we finally tasted heroin so that was checked off our list. The internet became a new source for me when I got my first package from china. The 2CI in it was brilliant looking and from first taste I was in love. This was the Psychedelic to do. After all that we became almost fiends with the opiates. Thankfully I left the area before I could do more damage to myself.

Now en daze, I look back it all and say, "well that was fun" and leave it at that. The more I try and remember the "good ol' days" the more I tell myself those days are gone. Now I am looking to the future with the lady of my heart. I've put her through A LOT and we've been through enough together to stick through anything together...... forever
 
i smoked ciggarettes and drank alcohol at an early age, not frequently but i tried them very young, about 11/12, i didnt smoke weed for awhile. even after entering high school my friends took it up almost emediatly during the summer between 8th grade and freshman year, i didnt do it until after christmas freshman year b/c i though it was bad (since 7/8 grade i drank every weekend with my friends so this wasnt smart thinking) then i gave in and was all about weed and have been ever sence, i too was all about natural stuff for awhile but began to dabble in pills, pills were easier to get a hold of in high school from my experience. They arent too hard to get now but in highschool i was given some almost everyday for a year and was told to sell a few and keep whats left or sell em too and make money. by the time i graduated highschool i was slowly becomming addicted to xanax, i went to college in another town and cotinued this xanax habit. i also started to take mushrooms everyother weekend as it was extremely boring in this town and i also did coke for the first time and did it 1-3times amonth that year. when i got back home after freshman year i couldnt find any xanax and had to quit cold turkey, it was terrible but on the bright side i didnt have any sezuires, then i started to attend school back in my hometown and continued using blow, often everyweekend and usually both friday and saturday it got to the point where i would go over to a buddies after school and play video games and he'd be like "you wanna do a line" and when it got to the point that i was doin it on weekdays and shit i stopped that. recently within the last year and half i have become fond of opiates. they were always around in highschool but for some reason i always preffered xanax, first it started with hydrocodone then i got percocets often and before i knew it now i can find oxycontin, hydromorphone, and fentanyl easy, so that is how my drug use has progressed
 
I have been normal so far. i took random pills like binzos and adderall my hole life it just wasnt my main set. I started with weed then weed & hallucinogens then i throuh some rolles in. And road that out for years then i stoped hallucinogens and started opiates first pills then H and i did that for 6 years then i tossed speed in but never shake only glass. I am on sub now. I Have heart disease because of my life style choise but i have enjoyed the ride. Well worth it.
 
Pot only > psychedelics and pot only > poly-drug (psychs, pot, booze, painkillers, dissociatives,etc), pot & pain killers, pot and beer, to just beer (currently).

Love for opiates hasn't gone away since first time over 7 years ago, and I try to remain open minded about drugs even if mostly doing the legal ones nowadays
 
I began smoking pot at 15 and never had the idea of trying anything else. I tried codeine at 16 after listening to lots of rap and such which eventually pushed me onto xanax which I abused. At this time I had gotten into alcohol which was a recipe for disaster as I had no idea how to drink properly. I tried MDMA and a couple other benzos and opies and eventually tried DXM. I'd still abuse pharms and shit until I began heavily into Hallucinogens. I had tried amps, MPH and cocaine by the time I was 17 and began experimenting with acid. After several trips and a lovely introduction into DMT I had dropped most pharms other than Valium and occasionally did cocaine until a recent LSD trip. Now, 18, I only like to drink beer, smoke herb and occasionally trip on Hallucinogens.
 
started with pot, then started drinking, got into E and coke and quickly went into a period of polydryg abuse that was mostly coke MDMA and psychedelics with the occasional benzo and opiate thrown in. FOr the past coupe years ive just been smoking and drinking my life away but recently ive been doing psychedelics a bit more. If i had a solid coke connect i would def hop on that train again though
 
The majority of my time has been with opioids exclusively. Would occasionally foray into the world of week long binging and consequent insanity that Meth and Cocaine provide.
In terms of frequent use; Opioids allow much more functionality, much less of a roller-coaster, and it's easier to pass off the effects as fatigue-related than it is to explain why you're wearing a tinfoil hat.
 
Psychedelics have always been my favorite, but for about the last 8 years I have done opiates daily with few brief breaks, benzos daily for maybe 6 years, and the last 4 or 5 years until recently I have used fairly high amounts of opiates, very large amounts of benzos, and mixed those with large amounts of multiple downers - a couple of times accidentally going a bit far and I'll just say more than a couple of times intentionally being reckless because I just felt like "fuck it, I don't care" or "if I die, at least this life will finally be over" and I'd do the same thing with psychedelics like 25C-NBOMe at times with really high doses.
Kind of felt like getting to a more reasonable level of use was impossible even in those times when I wanted to stop it because when I reduced my dose I'd get really suicidal and I'd also start doing bad things to my body maybe to replace the high or something (cutting, burning, have quite a few needles embedded in my legs and shoulders - I can only imagine what the doctors thought about the x-rays, I went for chest pain but could barely walk the previous couple of months because I did that again and they wanted to send me away.... They don't hurt [except for a while after you do one] and apparently are fine to be left in.
One of my problems cutting back was trying to reduce my dose too fast and trying to cut down on opiates and benzos at the same time. I found if I did it slow enough and gave myself some high days it would not throw me into an intolerable state of depression.

Did not use stimulants at all until maybe 6 or 7 years ago but have been doing them more often the last year or so than I used to and I enjoy them more now than I once did. They are not my favorite thing, but I may enjoy them as much as I do opiates at least sometimes. Plan to keep stimulant use occasional, I know they make me get depressed if I use them very much.
One very high dose of meth made me more depressed for like a month - it was a huge dose though and I told my brother I'd rather save some for later but he insisted I use it all at once instead of "wasting" it by doing it wrong/not using enough to get a good high. I don't need anyone to tell me I am not using right because my dose is too low. If anyone ever wants to tell me I am doing something wrong as far as amounts go, tell me when I am using too much and I will hopefully listen since it might be for my own good. If I mention a method of dosing that is wasteful or dangerous then it's different. (Using a low dose won't likely harm me but too much might send me to the ER or morgue).

For a long time, I preferred serotonergic psychedelics over dissociatives and then switched that maybe 4 or 5 years ago. Now I may once again prefer the serotonergic psychedelics again and if not, probably like the two types about equally.

Over the last 1.5 or maybe 2 years until a couple of months ago I did not do much tripping and all I had was DXM. I took some pretty extreme doses of it and had some fucking weird trips but they did not usually have the magic of serotonergics and some other dissociatives. So this was a pretty dull period trip-wise.
There was this one trip during that time where I felt a connection to God and his love even though I felt at the time if God(s) existed, it/they must be cruel monsters. And then when it was over I just discarded those thoughts and feelings as silly rubbish which was a stupid, negative thing to do when you know you'd be happier if you could believe in the possibility of some positive higher power. Not that I tried to convince myself it wasn't possible, but I could have tried to hold on to that feeling.

I'm now back to tripping on tryptamines and phenethylamines and will be tripping on dissociatives, and my level of opiate/benzo/other downer use is to a sane level and I am soon going to try not using benzos (maybe some phenibut and Lyrica for several weeks) and see if I can stop using them more than a couple of times per week and do the same with opiates soon. Then I will be back to a similar pattern of use to where I was in my early days as a Bluelighter - but need to keep the tripping to maybe 3x/month and not 2-3x/week like I have done at times. One difference - I'll have weed and I'll use stimulants at times.

I did not try weed until 5 years ago and only once when a stranger gave me a toke on the joint when I walked in to see them passing it around in a place where that was forbidden because I started to turn around to leave so I would not get in trouble. The first drug I used other than hydrocodone that was prescribed to me was HBWR seeds. I did not start smoking weed until about two years ago because I knew no dealers/had no friends and no way to get it. Now I do that regularly, daily sometimes and if I have it I smoke it when I use strong psychedelics as weed mixes nicely with them. So weed was one of the last drugs I started using which is pretty unusual for someone who has used lots of psychedelics and has been a full-blown addict who should be dead after all the fucked up things I've done.

So it seems I spent a long time fucking up worse and worse only to start moving back toward the way I once was in regards to drug use, only now I'll have weed, stimulants, and cannabinoids in my arsenal. And I also drink alcohol regularly in moderation now, used to hate alcohol but that's because I'd drink more than I can handle without getting a hangover - usually 4 12oz beers at maybe 5.5% alcohol is my limit.
Once I can get to the point where I don't need downers and opiates daily to not feel sick, my downer use will be like it once was too. So I'll be using like I once was only with some new things and I hope enough respect for my life and concern for what my death would do to my loved ones and anyone here who would not want to see me added to the Bluelight shrine to not do things I know could get me killed/fail to do my research on new substances.

I'm well aware I've done idiotic things but most of the time I knew I was putting myself in danger, so that chapter is closed and I hope I don't go back there again. That is something I think I have changed for good but maybe I am deluding myself just thinking that cuz I'm doing relatively well right now and I will just fall apart again. I don't think so though.

Fuck, high on meth, post too long, oh well. Nobody has to read it.
 
weed only -> dihydrocodeine regularly and occasionally ephedra -> real uppers (fuck ephedra) -> psychedelics -> sobriety -> sobriety with an occasional treat (mostly amphetamine, mdma or dmt)

looking back, the most fun was had with party drugs.
 
eh, when i first plunged into the world of drugs it was weed on the regular, alcohol mixed in once and a while. when i went to my first festival i figured hey, lets try all this weird shit and see if i like it. so i ate copious amounts of lsd, did lots of ket, throw in some yayo. i LOVED it. got back from that and i ate alot of dose, started experimenting more with tge party drugs, and started doing opiates more regularly. now five years later, im a daily opiate user, and regularly use ketamine, lsd, 2c-b, mdma/mda, yayo, BUT i dont smoke weed anymore, i just cant handle that shit like i used to. but i mean, the only thing thats really changed is that im more of a downer person. i used to love binging of coke, but my current job doesnt allow for me to stay awake for days at a time. hah.
 
2005-2008: Cannabis every day, ALL types of psychedelics from 2c-b to lsd on the weekends.

2008-2011: stopped psychedelics for the most part and discovered....ecstasy, lots and lots of ecstasy, pure mdma, methylone, mephedrone. still smoking cannabis daily

2011-2013: really bad experience(s) with drugs during the stimulants phase. Quit everything but alcohol for 18 months. Had 1-2 drinks 5 or 6 nights a week.

2013-2015: introducted to a prescription of Valium....changes everything. Became a daily cannabis smoker again, 50mg a week valium for over a year. Slowed the valium down since.

2015+: back on the "little bit of everything" mushrooms, mdma, mda, cocaine etc...but not committed to anything. starting to realize what my drug tastes are with a job, responsibilities, a serious relationship etc...the adult stuff. psychedelics when I am away from everything and everyone, MDMA at home with my girl, 4-fa at the club, valium at the beach, cannabis for just about everything before and after work and to be honest - 90% of the RC's I have tried and total crap. I am glad I am over all the weird tryptamines and phenethylamines. So many weird feeeelinggsss. Cool ideas but Shulgin made me feel weird overall.

overall, I went from wanting to trip absolutely balls (5+ hits of acid) and taking only stimulants, 2005-2011, to only wanting to take downers and trip on less taxing psychedelics (mushrooms etc..) since 2011-2015.
 
Fuck yeah.. No more Opiates, Caineeeeeeeeeeeeee, GHB, Soma, MDxx, Ketamayneeeeeeeee, ectect. I'm just on my Booze'n'BZD's now QT. Though, I do use other shit occasionally, it is rare. I can't turn down the A1 if it's in my fucking face. I'll do a timeline later.
