6 - Tobacco - My step brothers stole a packet of smokes from my dad, Didn't really like them at all.
8 - Alchohol - Mum gave me a sip of her wine, again tasted bad so I wasn't to keen, although this didn't stop me drinking enough to vomit at my dad's second wedding when I was 11.
13 - Weed, LSD, Tobacco - Smoked cannabis for the first time with my oldest step brother and never looked back
Began smoking in school and also began drinking and smoking pot on the weekends, looking back I'm amazed I could drink that much, although those early days of smoking were paramount to me forming a large habit. Attended my first bush doof with family (mother and sister) and a good mate, ended up trying LSD (1 microdot) for the first time and had an amazing bonding experience with my family, friend and the older doof crowd I was starting to hang with.
14 - Mushrooms, Dexamphetamine, Amphetamine, Benzo's (Valium), Opiates (Coedine, Heroin - In pill form and sold as an E) numerous E's (some containing MDMA, lucky for me) MDMA (Caps, Powder) - First mushroom hunt and experience with same friend that I tried LSD with for the first time. Once again an amazing experience and a life changing event. Started on dexo's when my friend's ADHD brother gave us some of his pills, but I found them boring. Heroin experiene was terrible, I was caught of guard, was drunk to boot and got tackled into a tree when the cops showed up, splitting my leg open. Of course I didn't feel this till the morning and now I have a brutal scar
Also began attending doofs on a regular basis and began my journey with LSD, shrooms, MDMA and E's (more so LSD and Shrooms than MDMA, it was a rare pleasure). Tried Valium (snorted) and Coedine but again wasn't to fussed on them
15 - Methamphetamine, Salvia, Cocaine - Salvia, WOAH! Tried with a mate, became the couch, good times
First and last time with meth, Saw my friend snap another friends arm at the elbow while in a meth rage, turned me off the drug for good. Tried coke for the first time but found the price and short duration to be not my thing, although I enjoyed the experience.
16 - DMT - First time I didn't seem to get a high enough dose as it was packed in the bottom of a cone. Second time was about 30 seconds of flying followed by 30 minutes of everything being sharp. Bad set and setting and to this day I think it may have been something else
At this point I moved from the NNSW coast to Brisbane due to family issues and lost touch with the doof scene
18 - Ketamine - Tried K for the first time while on 4 tabs of LSD, was a surreal and slow trip. I'm very keen to try it on it's own, although the addiction potential does worry me.
19 - Synthetic Cannabis - I didn't really enjoy this stuff as much as the real thing, although the stories I hear sound very interesting
Shame it's banned now
20 - Here I am today. At this stage I only use psychedelics (LSD, Shrooms) and cannabis regularly with MDMA (Caps, powder) being the rare treat. I try to avoid E's as I've been roughed up a lot, but whe good ones come my way I will grab them
I'm also very interested in trying DMT again in a better set and setting with no doubt as to purity as well as K andthe 2-C family which I have yet to meet.
Overall going hard early did affect me, but I stopped drinking regularly when I found psychedelics and was never big on opiates etc, so thankfully I don't feel my development was affected negatively. In fact I think my discovery of psychedelics at a young age combined with being part of and taught responsible use and harm reduction by the doof crowd helped with my development. So that's me, a bit of experience but still just starting my journey
I am however sad that I missed the RC days on the net as it seems to be dying with all the new laws
