I am wondering if I have a drug problem???

[DutchSomniferum]

I just had a great trip last night. But on this LSD-25 Good liquid. I haven't had this type sense Jerry Garcia died. Anyway on this trip I just took, I went to get some pills because it was coming on strong now and I was in the middle of the woods which is in the middle of a big ass college party. Like the whole city, it is one of those city's. So I need this pill and I have my girlfriend,"who is tripping hard too"So we both need our pills now. She shined the light in my hand and there was every kind of upper, downer, etc. There was Morphine IR and Valium and Oxycontin and Xanex and Methocarbrmolol and Dextroamphetamine, Etc. Anyway I got a little paranoid, before the Xanax kicked in. I thought dam what if the police catch me with all these drugs. Then Shit I actually have a prescription to all these and my girl does too. Then the acid told me WTF!! Your functional but fucked by any normal God fearing guide lines. So the whole day I am trying to have an after trip epiphany on whether or not to reevaluate my drug intake. Does anyone have any feedback. Should I go with the Psychedelic Gods vision of my drugs future? Or say fuck it and keep taking the pills. That I do need for pain but where I live I can Not get Legal Medical Marijuana, So now I have the whole "Drug Store Cowboy" movie in my pill cabinet.Shit, I have a pill cabinetthat is a sure sign of Elvis abuse right there.

Just, never ever put a hat on the bed.

Also, I say do what you must as long as it doesn't fuck up your day job.

You don't seem to have a problem with drugs at all.

 

[Renz Envy]

Not a problem until you admit that it's a problem IMO.

You mind if I move this to The Dark Side? It's not really on topic of psychedelic drugs, even if your ideas were inspired by an acid trip.

Psychedelics can reveal things you already knew on some conscious level but may have been repressing, the trip apparently brought your worries to the surface. The way you are worrying about it alone is in itself an indication that it may be going too far. Also I agree with the second post that determining whether there is a problem can be done by checking your functioning. If your health is good, you do your job or studies well, you have a decent prospect of your future and you feel alright mentally... then apparently you can be taking a number of drugs and still cope in life.
The number of different drugs reminds me of my own cabinet (I collect drugs, especially rare ones) but it doesn't necessarily mean that your use is problematic. The doses, if there are binges and in what frequency - that is much more important. It does mean you're a polyuser though which does increase the chance that at least one of those drugs will be causing problems for you at some point.

Don't combine contraindicated drugs like valium / other benzo's + opiates. That's not safe.
Keep an eye on tolerance developing. If you need more and more drugs, and need them to feel normal then dependence is developing. Stop before it's too late.
Cut back on your use for a while and see how easy you manage to do that. If it's very hard then it's clear that there is a problem.

So, I think there are a lot of sides to this and one wild weekend isn't enough of a story to go on. Swallowing one pill does not a summer make. Or something whateverthehell.
But it doesn't sound totally fine either.

If you have to ask, maybe it's something to consider..

I agree with latest up there. Perhaps it's not you who has a drug problem, but your doctor(s) or his cronies might very well have one. There are cases when there's no wisdom in prescribing or taking drugs, but there is in not taking or prescribing them. Still, if you are in pain... I wish you lots of wisdom, dude.

That is not the case, latest. I have an rx for oxycontin, (40mg BD) oxynorm (10mg QDS), chlormethiazole, nitrazepam and loprazolam, 14 pills/bi-weekly, and on repeat) And I get lyrica and tizanidine as well. so either you have that wrong, or my doc doesn't give a shit about the law RE scripts

LOL, one of my old docs joked that I was a pharmaceutical dustbin

I am opioid dependent, but that is because I have been in a LOT of severe, chronic pain for years. So its both no surprise, and unavoidable that the opioids will cause physical dependence.
