Introducing others to "other drugs..."

[Lady Codone]

I try to be really honest about the good AND bad when telling someone about a drug so they can make their own decision. I'm not the type to say, "OMG this is sooo great, you GOTTA try it!" without at least encouraging independent research first.

I used to go around praising opiates to everyone who would listen, but all they get from them is dizziness and puking, so it falls on deaf ears.

Uh... I read only one post (before yours) in this thread that describes turning people onto heroin for selfish reasons. So...

More than one person mentioned that plus a few others were talking about how drugs are 'best enjoyed all to yourself' which is balls. There are clearly some rotten characters on this thread.

if you would have read my post CAREFULLY you would have seen that, yes, i did say that its a big no no in my book to turn anyone onto the needle. i also said that i dont give a fuck, about THEM those 2 bastards. i would never do that to anyone except for them, and i did. that part you seemed to have misunderstood. it looks to me like you assumed i didint give a fuck in general, about anyone or anything, which is so not the case involving the question and answer to this thread. read things CAREFULLY next time before assuming shit, and posting it.

LOL chill.... Just sayin.. To me n my mates, turning anyone onto the needle is a no no.. its a choice anyone should make for anyone...
It's like saying i dogged a few ppl to the cops for being pricks... You either DON"T do things, and are against them, or do them to select ppl.. you can't say its a big no no, but you did it... Maybe say its not something i often do, but if i think the pricks deserve it i do!! No need to get so angry!! Just sayin.... LOVE NOT HATE

Coke, heroin, meth.....
It's all super expensive, I don't think anything is wrong with being a bit greedy with it.
I'm not made of money, are you?
Share a little, and enjoy the rest...

I had a few "drinking buddies" that, after I introduced it to them turned into moochs

I used to split what I got into separate bags so they would quit asking when the first bag ran out.
That was kind of bad, but we laugh about it now....:/

What is wrong with this? I am lucky if I have what I want, and I am not about to give it away. I do have a Xanax script, so if someone was stressing out, or in the middle of a panic attack, I wouldn't feel bad giving them one to calm their nerves. Introducing others to opiates for example isn't something I'd particularly like to do just because of the extreme addictive potential. I just am surprised by your reaction to that comment.

I introduced many people to weed. Countless people.
I've introduced a few to amphetamines, dxm, shrooms, cocaine, cigarettes (lawl), benzos, pcp, opiates and ketamine.
Over half of them turned into full blown addicts.

^ This is what i'm on about. You should never give people drugs that they haven't arrived at using independently or show no prior interest in. I've never smoked weed with anybody who hasn't smoked it before.

Alex000 thats just fine giving somebody a xanax if they are having a panic attack, that's considerate, but turning people onto cocaine & opiates is totally unethical.

my friend kyle was really into xanax and stuff back in the day, and I introduced him to coke (which he gradually developed a small problem on) and then opiates. he ended up shooting over $150 worth a day and was on probation, got caught and his whole life has been fucked since then..

my ex gf and me would always do coke together, which she had done before me and her even met, but then I would alot of times smoke/snort H or roxi's with her. she isn't addicted, but I could see her starting when after wed smoke some a few minutes later shed be asking to smoke more. I also let her speedball with me once (although I suppose its not a technical speedball if you snort coke and h together, sometimes in the same line) and that really scared me. I didn't want to kill her. shes a beautiful sweet girl and deserves better than that.

That wasn't nice.

And it's not like I introduced it to them out of the blue. They asked to try it, so I let them.

So fuck fuckedy fuck you mr. judgemental.

yeah but thats not how you said it, you just said you introduced them to it, not that they asked and you obliged. so you jumped to judgment in assuming that he was being judgmental. thats the pot calling the kettle an asshole.

also, you curse like a child.

Just because they knew of its existence and was curious to how it felt doesn't mean I didn't introduce them to it.

Alright alright, lets chill out here. I don't mind people voicing there opinions, but lets keep the flaming out of it. I'm going to edit some posts now, and likely unapprove and infract any more that contribute to the flame war in the future.

 

[monoid]

Has anyone else ever felt really badly about introducing others to their favorite drugs?



So, in other words, has anyone else ever felt like a real scumbag for introducing their friends to an "addictive substance?"

Some people always feel like scum, introducing harmless prescription drugs to his friends or not.

 

[monoid]

Popped my friend's weed cherry over the summer, she's a huge stoner now. I'm pretty sure that's happened with a lot of other people too, but that's the most notable.

I've given salvia to a bunch of people, just because I love watching them and then listening to them recap their trip.

I'm excited to introduce my friend to the lovely world of e soon enough. I hope he likes it as much as I do!

Beware of this guy, who promises hard to get stuff and leaves you with the liquor store then the ER.

 

[Doctor X]

it's a shitty feeling.
I knew a guy who talked his gf into doing coke so she'd stop giving him shit about doing it himself.
they both ended up fiends...

Yeah, I've been there. I have a girlfriend, and she used to give me shit about doing what I do... prescription pain killers and, occasionally, dope. "If you're going to do it, then we're both going to do it!" Finally, I caved. Thankfully, neither one of us became addicts, but, you know, it was a very real and scary possibility.

Only Psychedelics.

And if they have a genuine interest.

From 'Corrupted' To 'Corruptor'

I know 'corruption' is a very strong word and is somewhat sinister, but I feel it's the best term to describe the act of introducing another person to drugs for the first time.

We were all introduced to drugs at some point, either by one individual, or a group of individuals. It could have been a doctor prescribing your medicine or a good friend passing you a spliff. Either way, we all have for want of better words, a corrupter. And sometimes, many of us have been that corrupter. Sometimes regretfully.

For those of you that have filled this role at some point in your life, how do you feel about this? Do you regret introducing friends/family to drugs for the first time? Do you feel that your actions led to enrichment of those people's lives, or do you feel that your actions have caused more harm than good?

I ask this because I know some of my friends feel a certain degree of guilt for introducing me to drugs, and they have told me this before. I personally don't hold anyone other than myself morally responsible. However I myself feel a great feal of sadness and regret for introducing hard drugs to one individual, and this really has haunted me and tortured me a great deal. I've never before felt so ashamed of my actions, and it's not an experience I wish to repeat.



I'm rambling but if you tl;dr, do you feel guilty for introducing individuals to drugs, or happy that you've made their lives better as a result?

Based on the relative positivity/negativity of peoples' responses, this might be better suited to TDS, but mods, I'm sure you'll do your thing if you need to

I feel differently about different substances and the people I introduced them too. There are a couple people I introduced heroin to who ruined there lives with it but they were on other drugs before that so they would have probably ruined them one way or another. Now when it comes to LSD I feel a certain amount of pride about my time selling it I feel like I was spreading enlightenment to people who desperatly needed some. I dont lose much sleep over it though I never put a gun to anyones head.

 

[verso]

It's funny that this should come up, as my girlfriend and I were just talking about this. I'm going to merge this with another thread that we already have...

But let the record show that I feel no guilt whatsoever in introducing others to drugs, and unless you're holding a gun to someone's head, I believe that we're all responsible for our own actions..
