Drugs. Weed, X, meth, opiates, benzos, acid, PCP. I have done it all ( except herion which i refuse to ever do)
i don't understand addiction. I have done all these drugs and have never been addicted to any of them. And yes i have done them for more than a 2 week period and quit just as fast as i started with no symptoms of anger, depression ect. except i couldn't poop after meth. But i just don't understand why i didn't get addicted to them? I have never banged any drug. My boyfriend used to be addected to opiates and benzos and kinda still is. But when i tried to tell him that i have done all these drugs and was never addicted to any of them, he told me i guess i am one of the lucky ones. I don't know i kinda call BS. personally i think it has to do with personality. If you have an addictive personality it is probable you will get addicted to drugs? yes, no? i need input.
 
There are some people who are more predisposed to addiction due to their genetics, this has been well proven before... I don't think it's quite that clear cut though, using any drug a few off times won't get anyone addicted but the problem starts with that first dose, after the wall has already been torn down it's a lot easier to justify trying it again, and again.. some people can handle this better than others I guess, obviously everyone is different so they won't all react in the same way
 
I would think that a persons personality would have a lot of sway in any addictions they get or do not get. It also seems certain personalities make people more likely to get addicted to certain drugs.

I'm curious though,why do you refuse to never do heroin? Meth and PCP are worse and you've tried both of those, and you said you have tried opiates as well.
 
I knew a dude that could do copious amounts of cocaine, non-stop. For years. I introduced him to Vicodin and OxyContin for the comedown and after years of mixing the two classes he never seemed to get dope-sick. Fast forward 4 years and he's been to rehab like 15 times for heroin, and he's shooting up in his neck. You never know man.
 
i don't know i get addicted to drugs easily but am not very obsessive about anything else. I guess i am extreme in that i like extreme highs and lows rather than being balanced. My gf has tried all the drugs i have and has never gotten addicted to anything while i have been addicted to dissociatives, benzos, opiates and stimulants (MPH, EPH and amphetamines lol). But i also have the will to quit them if i have to so am in/out of recovery and conflicted on the whole issue but there's a distinguishable difference to my drug use and my girlfriend's despite the same drugs being used, she just doesn't have that desire to be fucked up like that all the time and in fact doesn't want to. Each of us come from families with mental health and drug/alcohol dependency issues, so who knows. both grew up fucked up too.
 
That's my curse. Especially with meth, cocaine, and heroin, but moreso with meth and cocaine because I'm so stimulated. I get very compulsive, IVing meth every 3 minutes until I tell myself to stop because I need to save some. I don't get as bad on heroin, because once I hit a sweet spot, I don't want to do anything, but chill and relax
 
You say you did them all for longer than "2week period"...that means 3 weeks or how much, lol? It can take months or YEARS of problem-less usage before a person becomes addicted, wait 3 more years and continue dabbling with drugs and then we'll talk whether you are resistant to addiction

^think he/she is referring to how OP won't do heroin but will try anything else lol

heroin has such a stigma to it, it may be slightly different than everything else but not a whole lot. I'd certainly take some dillies over heroin, depending on purity and price of course.

kinda like someone sayin they would never touch meth but are taking adderall all the time. Gotta admit that methamphetamine is worse on the body and mind than heroin short and long term either way, PCP is as well but probably not as bad as methamp.
 
At Seyer^

PCP and meth are more harmful to the body than heroin, and the addiction potential of meth (and maybe PCP not sure) is just as bad as heroin if not worse.

Iv'ing meth every three minutes?? You crazy dude. I only do (did) that with cocaine. After id do a fat shot of meth, after the initial rush where im at the point of being able to steady my hands and function, i prep a shot of heroin and slam that, and am satisfied with the meth for at least six hours. Sometimes up to 12, some meth ive done got some daddy long legs and keeps me goin forever that i dont even want/need/think of doing another shot for sometimes 18-24 hours.
 
Some people do have more of an addictive personality.

In my family, there are tons of people who got addicted. On my mom's side - her mom was addicted to gambling, her dad was addicted to alcohol. My mom's two brothers - one was addicted to alcohol and some sort of drugs (I think oxys but I'm not sure). The other one (not blood related though) was addicted to painkillers of some type. (My mom is not addicted to anything)
Then on my dad's side - his parents were both addicted to smoking (slightly different I think, since smoking was more common back then). I believe his brother is addicted to something but he and his sister are not.

BUT I know that makes me at risk of being addicted to things because there have been tons of issues (and deaths) in my family. My mom's dad died from alcohol and her brother also died from alcohol and drugs (oxys I think but not sure).

You can take a look at your genetics and see if your family has had problems in the past. And just keep that in mind.

BUT I've tried many of the most addictive substances (coke, heroin, other opiates such as oxys, various types of benzos, meth, mdma, other amphetamines). The only things I could see myself getting addicted to are 2-FMA and benzos. Love them both. But I just make sure I'm keeping track of my usage and I don't go overboard.
 
Believe it, there are definitely folks with addictive personalities and frankly, it's a bitch! I have to take pain meds for my neck (and have been for the past 30+ years) but I will admit that there are times my brain just goes ape shit on the pills. It's an internal battle I wage all the time and I hate it!

Back in the day, I always used to say that I was lucky I was so broke because on rare occasions I would buy a gram of coke and honest to God, I could not stop until it was gone, come hell or high water! If I ever came into a large sum of money back then, I would have surely killed myself. I have no doubt about it.

It is in your family genes, so if you are predisposed, please thread lightly and respect the drugs. God Bless!
 
No,drugs change the way you think.For example,i sat down and said "i'll just smoke a hit of DMT" and then somehow smoked a lot of it,one hit after another without knowing.That's the scariest part of drug use,you do things you would never do...
 
The cause of addiction isn't 100% known yet, it's controversial, but I think a lot of factors come into play. The cause of serious addiction though, is a lot more complex than just simply personality.
 
predisposition definitely. I think families with alcoholics gave us that proof, but it extends to those willing to take drugs.
 
I'll agree that it has something to do with genetics. My friend has a problem with abusing opiates, and so does his mom. Is it that he's been habituated to opiate use through watching his mom? That they're both drama whores and want to destroy themselves somehow? Who knows, but they certainly do both have problems with opiates.

Me personally, like the OP I've tried many drugs and have been addicted to none. Outside of benzos, which I was prescribed and ended up physically addicted to. I was a heavy weed smoker for about a year or so, and have been drastically cutting back my use since with no problems. I can buy a bag of coke, do a few lines, and put it down for the next day. But I do have a problem with moderating my use of other things. The internet, for example -- I can't stay off of it. We all have our vices. For some people it's drugs, others it's food, video games, whatever.

I do notice that people who have drug problems like to do risky things in general. They like the attention, rush and glamor of doing risky, potentially high-reward things (eg driving really fast, promiscuous sex, etc). In our society where recreational drugs are so frowned upon, it's very enticing to a person like that to pick up a habit.
 
Personality has a large influence on addiction because certain types are more likely to abuse drugs and not see their own behavior in a clear light. For example, many people with massive unresolved negative emotions can easily have problems with them. They often find the drugs so comforting that they are unable and unwilling to see themselves falling into addiction.

Some people are also so tremendously arrogant and/or so intelligent and well-informed about drugs that they believe they are immune to their pull. This is itself a large risk factor.
