Actually been pretty steady, on average, for the last 4 years (following a pretty drastic decline).
Daily pot and alcohol is really all I use (eliminated coke and cigarettes). Been through heavy and light periods for both during that time, but none of them long enough to really constitute a trend.
IME, most people speed up as soon as they try one or two drugs and realize that a.) they like them and b.) they're not as bad for you as they were told.
Almost exactly this. The heroin thing takes it out of you after a few years
Everything else I can pretty much hold my own with, just not quite as recklessly as I would have done a few years back. After a couple of days I'm looking for bed rather than more drugs. Well, bed and mellow drugs maybe...
definately slowing down... i had my "mad" period in college at 18 to 20... now two years later i'm tapering off methadone, take some valium for anxiety and do MDMA or LSD or 2C-B once a month max... i used to pop pills all the time and do ketamine dailly up to 3 grams... for about 2 years
