How young were you when you first thought about drugs?

I got interested in a educational show I think called cocaine blues that made it look like a lot of fun. I think that wasc around 7th grade
 
My first real memory of drugs was one that made me feel disgusted by them...

When I was about 5 or 6 I was a huge Culture Club fan :) Then a couple years later Boy George was in the news for being a heroin addict. I used to get a music magazine here called "Smash Hits" and they used to have these anti-drug campaign ads in there with photos of what a heroin addict is supposed to look like... with sores all over their face, black eyes, etc... it made me feel totally disgusted by drugs... but of course when I was about 7 I didn't have a huge understanding that there were more to drugs than just heroin...

Then I also remember in Crocodile Dundee there's a scene where he goes to some big fancy party and there is a guy snorting coke... I was probably about 10 years old when that movie came out (the 1st one) and that scene made me think against drugs too...

Probably in late high school and University I was still convincing myself to be against them... and about 5 years after that... it all changed ;)
 
That Dundee scene was classic, dude! He acted like he thought it was cold medicine and put all the coke in hot water and had him inhale the fumes with a towel over his head =D

I used to listen to The Prodigy and other electronic style music, and somehow I ended up with the idea that E would be fucking amazing, and that I needed to try it. A bunch of years later I did, and it was great :)

I also went to DARE in 5th grade, I distinctly remember crossing my fingers as we had to pledge to never do drugs as a group. roffle.
 
4th grade - DARE officer, while trying to make psychedellic drugs sound terrible, made them sound very interesting to me.

5th grade - i got into hardcore/punk/and metal music, and with it, became a fan of doing anything that provided an extreme sensation or rush

6th grade - knew some kids that smoked pot and dabbled with meth, opiates, and coke. Further sparked my interests.

7th grade - tried drugs. loved them.
 
a D.A.R.E. officer actually brought a ten-strip into our class to show us all what acid looked like. It had pictures of Woodstock on it. [/B]

My class had DARE movies and shit in the library. After the movies they whipped out their fat-ass case of government confiscated drugs. Among them were coke can pipe(my first ghettopipe lesson), dimebags and other shit they found on the street. They also passed around multiple sheets of laminated acid cuz if you touched it it'd immediated seep through your pores and you'd go apeshit. They had the "Woodstock" bird from snoopy and Bart Simpson and some other cartoon ones to emphasize how drug dealers try to appeal to children.
 
I remember not being very interested until 8th grade when people were making each other pass out. That wasn't cool, but when I told my older brother's friend that I liked the headchange he said "If you like that, just wait til high school and we'll get you stoned, you'll fucking love it." First time I considered that I actually might.
 
all those anti-drug films that i watched with my aunt after school. made me wnat to do them and that lead to obbessive lil thoughts. " boy< i bet theres a pill to make you smart and one to make you sleep and one to make you giggle and have all teh fun in the world." damn i was nieve. did i really think that everything was in pill form? of course i'd have to snort and inject things to. pfft.
 
When I was about five, I watched the show "Ghostwriter". There was a plotline for awhile where one of the characters made a stoner friend who kept trying to get the protagonist to smoke a joint with him. I still remember being daunted by the word "marijuana." That was the first time I had heard about drugs.

Of course, it was many years until I realized the point of using drugs. I understood drunkness, but I basically thought that people only did drugs for the flavor (In the case of smoked drugs) and to be cool. This led to some confusion on why people injected or snorted drugs. Nevertheless, drugs always interested me, even when they scared me shitless, and I always looked forward to the drug units in school. It wasn't until about 8th grade that the idea occurred to me to try drugs, and still another year and a half or so until I actually did.
 
I never had the DARE thing, I think between switching schools I always missed it. But everyone talking to me about dare at about 9 always interested me, and then I saw some display with samples of coke and weed, and I was obcessed with it. The idea of heroin was so enticing to me. It was so socially unacceptable, but there had to be some reason people sought it out, and that is when the interest occured, and never ceased...
 
I was probably in 7th grade, and I was growing catnip for our cats. I figured out that people get their cats high all the time, so it must be okay to get myself high too. I read up on catnip and found Erowid by accident, and thats what really got me into the idea of trying drugs. I was always fascinated by the psychedelics at the time though, never by anything else.
 
was about 13 when i first started to look like a "rebel" , i started smoking at the age of 13 too...then i quit that , didnt do anything until prolly 17 when i smoked weed with friends , then now with my opiate fascination.

I got interested in drugs late in 8th grade from reading erowid and such sites. I was sort of irritated because when I got interested our drug education unit in health was already over and I remember being pissed having to write down all these drug names and take notes and not a month later I wished I had paid attention. I told some of my friends I wanted to try drugs and they all made fun of me but I paid them no mind and smoked weed the next year.
 
the first time i smoked pot i was in 5th grade, and at that time i still thought all other drugs were bad. then during the summer between 8th and 9th grade, a friend gave me some xanax. then i tried oxycontin and so on and so on.
 
hmm i think i was around 12 years old. me and a few friends smoked some hash..i rember being so high and could do nothing but laugh.ohh do have those days back.
 
When i was like 6-8 i had recurring dreams , some really trippy and ang good and a nightmare i remember involving walking in the street on bare feet and feeling something in my foot and it being a needle. this is because around that time there were a lot of needles on the streets in my neighbourhood and i was a really paranoid kid.

when i was 9 or 10 i found a needle in the school court

also around that age i played basketball when i was sweeping the court for detention with some of my friends , we played basketball with the junkies from the abandoned building next door.

so I guess my perception went from drugs = death to ey these are nice people , although i only found out about them being junkies like 1 year later.
 
I had dare and for a short while decided not to try drugs. But 4 years later when I was 16 I agreed to smoke pot. Within 2 years I had tried coke, ecstasy, and amphetamines. I moved pretty quick in my mind. I sorta wigged out from the rolls after a while, I was pretty depressed.
 
I remember going to the shop with my mum, seeing some 18-19 year old walking really quickly around the shop, looking really different in some way and I think buying some water and chewing gum, so i asked my mum "why is that man walking so fast and acting like that?" (and i think this is an exact quote) "oh... you know young men nowdays take lots of coffee". It was another 6 or 7 years looking back and relising what was up with him. Funny how you remember stuff like that :)
