I am an introvert. My drug of choice is opiats. In the beginning of my addiction, one of the main reasons that I took opiats each day was that it increased my ability to focus and concentrate which is helpful as a researcher another primary reason was of cause that it made me feel good and happy, which was not a normal feeling for me. I was very aware about the influence on my cognitive capabilities, but unless I took a shitload and lost the ability to create new memories it did not influence my cognition to any significant degree. I take a small amount of benzodiazepines for epilepsy and anxiety. But benzo's (except Etizolam) have no recreational potential for me.

In social settings, MDMA (and to some degree cocaine) was extremely helpful for me as I could open up to others which made communication with unknown people much easier. When I was younger I often used it to score girls as I was often to shy otherwise just to walk up to a girl I don't knew and speak to her. However, some years ago I suffered from depression, after that I haven't been able to use MDMA as it does not really work anymore and it influence my mood negatively for days after. The same is the case with cocaine.

I sometimes use dexamphetamines or methylphenidate if I have to work for several hours or if I am very tired. Small amounts have absolutely no negative effect and the small amounts also means that there are next to no come down. There are also some research chemicals I have in my stash that serve the same purpose if I don't have any dexamphetamines or methylphenidate. Lately, I actually think I have found a research chemical that is more effective than both dexamphetamines and methylphenidate.

I have never been prone to using psychedelics.
 
ISFP, but fairly moderately so, and I don't believe I fit all the criteria plus I think these typologies are basically bogus; anyway I used to be into psychedelics but my once and forever DOC is opiates and booze with occasional coke or speed.

I see why you might say this, but it's is not the case in my situation. I'm an introvert and have been turned off of psychs. Plus, (and I know this may be specific to me) plenty of people I know that are into psychs are pretty outgoing people. Also, I've thought that it's possible that introverts could use stimulants as a way to combat their shy nature. For instance if an introvert suffers from anxiety, they may use amphetamines as social lubrication.
Just a thought, these things vary from person to person.

But generally speaking, I would agree that extroverts tend to gravitate toward stimulants. But I would think that introverts would generally have more of an affinity for opiates. And I'd say that both intro/extroverts can take to alcohol.

I'm an INTP/ISTP and amphetamines are my drug of choice. They make me feel confident instead of pointless and insecure (dx with generalized anxiety, dysthymia, and schizoid personality disorder), and they cause me to actually be interested in the people, events, and conversations around me. Like, I talk to people about things out of a genuine interest, not from a place of disinterest and disconnection.

I feel like amphetamines jack me into the vividness of life, the actual experience of the thing, whereas at my baseline, despite the fact that I fake engagement and appropriate affect constantly and so well so that no one is involved with the real me but me, that vividness is like a frequency on a radio whose antennas are never able to pick up more than a stream of noise that I observe but do not experience.

Being sober of drugs leaves me standing alone, an object placed in a life it can't feel, surrounded by experiences that don't engage her and people I can't ever seem to remember details about. I'm just all smiles and encouragement and helpfulness, all joking around and sarcastic, smirking asides. I'm reliable, unusually competent, and pleasant. Trustworthy and independent. I'm stressed/anxious and a workaholic and endlessly friendly. I'm that person externally because pretending to be someone who is engaged and who people see practicing her values daily through unflagging and quiet helpfulness/support, a commitment to producing high quality work, and an ability to problem solve, take advantage of opportunities, and put into effect solutions designed to benefit myself and others, might lead me to something close to being that person on some level some day... even if not really, on another level I can kinda, mostly, secretly believe that relentless hypocrisy will eventually become the truth. Or anyway, if not, at least I am painting a lovely fiction to cover up the empty space beneath.

If I think of how I am off the drugs, I see myself as a figure standing inertly in a school corridor while life bustles around her. I am registering the activity on a delay, muffled, blunted, curtained, always of the scene and never in it, jostled on occasion but too far removed to understand or react. But I continue moving my sober ass through the static and down the chaos of the hallway, lockers and faces a blur as I walk, because that's the only thing to do as a functional member of society.

But drugs... drugs make life real to me. The signal to noise ratio improves. I feel real. I care to chat. I'll solve your problems and feel mildly pleased when you love my solution. I'll feel connected to people in a way that isn't built upon the constant, irrational fear that someone will see the real me and call me on it. I can speak with her and enjoy it and just have it be a pleasant moment in time that alights over me and lingers, the warmth of friendly approval from someone I respect a lingering breeze. I can care enough to make plans with people.

It's not just stims, though I'll take stims over most anything else, it's that drugs in general alter my spirit enough to actually be able to watch a show and be too absorbed to do anything other than laugh and enjoy myself (weed), kiss someone and feel compelled to take it further with levity and pleased sense of fun (MDMA), explore the relaxation you can feel in a softer world, freed from life as a sensitive animal AND, bonus, eventually sleep deeply and wake up missing chunks of time that passed before you went to bed (Xanax).

My point is to affirm your argument that an individual addict's drugs of abuse don't necessarily follow from that person's observable traits. A genuinely bouncy, active, extroverted happy person won't necessarily love MDMA the most because it matches her personality the most closely. Ditto with a thoughtful, introverted thinker type and hallucinogens. A normally chilled out, relaxed, unflappable, unstressed type won't necessarily fall in love with pills that deliver the similar experience.

Drugs of choice are more complicated and intimate than that. Our preferences develop based largely, though not solely, on what drug can give us what it is that we are looking for through the use of drugs.

I think if you ask yourself why you are an addict, really, you can come see why you might prefer one substance over another. Some addicts are eager to detach and live in a softer world. Some addicts will take anything to feel something strong and real and indisputable. Some addicts want to enjoy themselves. Some addicts want to forget and be purged of the burdens of identity, memories, and realities of life. Some addicts want to eat more and laugh harder at The Simpsons. Some addicts want to broaden their minds. Some addicts want to die.

I think the problem with addicts is that we've crossed that line separating the option to use from the need to use. As we become addicts, we spend more and more time coping with life this way. And we live as though a life without our drugs would be an unfortunate, undesirable situation, maybe we hurt ourselves more deeply than we realize. I take pills to experience a better world and avoid my baseline reality, my baseline self. So multiple times a day, I am insisting to myself that I need this pill because without it life is less worth living.
 
I'm an INFP. My drugs of choice are opiates and GABA-affecting drugs, I also enjoy psychedelics every couple of months. I take kratom and phenibut daily which allows me to feel normal. I feel more outgoing, energized, less anxious, my feelings are more level than they ever have been, and it's kept my depression at bay as well. I am historically a poly-drug addict though. I've been addicted to DXM, methamphetamine, heroin, morphine, benzos, alcohol, synthetic cannabinoids, MDPV, and love (which caused me to make really bad decisions). I always used drugs to kill my anxiety and escape. I no longer drink alcohol or use "hard" drugs and I am again a functional person, able to hold a job, maintain relationships, and be more dependable in most every way.

Well, I think this could explain why I never realy liked weed.
Btw, after answering about 30 questions all I wanted was to kill the dude created the test couse he asked the same questions in a different way over and over again, but still I didn't want to stop couse,"hell, I'm already half way to the results)...
You know, asking the same question over and over again is concindered a torture.

Haha, no. Anyone who's ever used either will probably get a chuckle out of this question. Everyone is different, but a lot of people experience pretty profuse perspiration from recreational doses of Cocaine and/or Heroin. A Benzodiazepine, a small dose of a Benzodiazepine I mean, would be a better option. As a rough example, Barbiturates like Pentobarbital (Nembutal) were often used by people who had to work in extremely hot and humid conditions as they gave them a higher tolerance to the elements.

Again I say rough, but the connection is that Benzodiazepines are in a lot of ways the successor to the Barbiturates and they help calm you down and "numb" you in a lot of ways. If any drug is going to help you with your sweating issue, I can only imagine these would be your best bet, as the excessive perspiration in this context is most likely caused by the anxiety of having to speak in public. Benzodiazepines are great for anxiety, but if you overdo them, you'll find out first-hand how healthy a little bit of anxiety can be.
 
INFP and to no surprise my DOC is opiates (we sensitive introverts love our opis ?). Have had an affinity at times with benzos also.

This is pretty cool. I would say I'm definitely an extroverted person & well connected with my feelings.

My favorite drugs are stimulants - mainly adderall & meth.
This was interesting, thanks for sharing

Weed is my most commonly used drug, I used to do acid quite a bit but not anymore. I enjoy amphetamines but in an introverted focus on playing video games kind of way lol. Even on mdma I like to just close my eyes and listen to music, I would like to socialize I guess but what is there to say? I enjoy opiates when im by myself because I can get irritated around people and I dont like people to see me in that state. Ketamine is good shit if you can find it .
 
ISFJ and i stick mostly to opiates and downers. i use alone usually, which makes perfect sense. cool test :)

Heeey, we're both "diplomats" (or "idealists"), being NFs. Your personality, INFJ, is the rarest type. That's pretty sweet.

Back OT: Earlier in the thread, I didn't mean to imply that all introverts were anxious, although some are. I know because I am an introvert that is prone to anxiety.

@Nutty: Yeah, stimulants can heighten anxiety, I didn't really take that into account. I always forget that some people get more anxious on amphetamines because they worked like a charm for me. Whenever I did uppers I was unusually talkative and productive, so I tend to overlook that they can be a source of anxiety for some people. And using opiates/alcohol to combat anxiety makes sense too. As I do that as well.

Personally, I speak as one introvert, I have decided to avoid psychedelics because of my mentality and because of where I'm at in my life. I don't think having my mind bend in that way would do me any good, and would only exacerbate my current state, making me more prone to depression. So, introverts like me are probably more likely to take mind-numbing substances. But, introverts who are perfectly content with their lives and have no mental issues (same w/ extroverts) are likely to take any drug, depending on who they are; or perhaps abstain from drug use.

I'd like to reiterate that these are all just thoughts I felt were worthy to bring into the conversation. I hate generalizing but it's nearly impossible not to when discussing something like this, so I don't mean to offend anyone. Can't emphasize that enough.

Wooo, I'm rare. I always knew I was special. I definitely go for the downers/mind-numbers nowadays. I used to be down for any drug but no more uppers for me and no more psychs (not dissos, i love those) for now. Save for DMT. I can always appreciate DMT.
 
My personality type is INTJ and my preferences in mind altering substances are psychedelics, hope I may have put some light on the subject.
