Well, when I was a young lad around 12. I had no idea what weed was. I just knew what the weed leaf looked like. Now I had little to no information on what weed does to the body but I still pretended to smoke a joint with a rolled up notebook paper around a group of black friends back in middle school. However, when I learned about DARE, i told myself I would never do drugs. until the age of 13 and 14 came. My school libraries had these books that caught my eye. I started reading books about quaaludes, antidepressants, hallucinogen/deleriants and cocaine. From that point on my mind grew and expanded and got onto sites like erowid back in 2002. Then I met some pot head friends then 8th grade was the magical year that I first got high.

so yeah, in a nut shell. I was anti then quickly became pro
 
I was fascinated by drugs when i was little but my dad was a crackhead and i saw how crazy it made him and my stepdad was a daily pot smoker and alcoholic so i was very anti drug. My brother and i once even burned a baggie of oregano spice to grt rid of it because we thought it was pot and didnt want anyone to smoke it. We were retards. It wasnt until i smoked weed then did e when i was 14 is when i became pro drug.
 
i never had opinions on drugs, really. I just sort of assumed I wouldn't do them, until I was presented with the opportunity to take them, and then... uh, I did.
 
I tried to fit in by learning about drugs around 14- but never did anything till I was 16.

Was totally pro drug 17-19

At 21 I got a clear view of how drugs actually affect people's judgment and became anti-drug.
I learned you can never really learn everything about drug culture, but once you flip that coin between the good and the ugly, it becomes really damn complex.

I still use certain drugs, and am completely Pro-HR.
 
Anti, I guess,my conception of drug use was addiction which represented a loss of control which I abhorred. Later in life I became an addict because the drugs offered me control.

I didn't start drug use (including tobacco) beyond caffeine until I was 18 anyway, though I had decided to use earlier, I waited patiently until I was in uni. I guess I got interested because I realized I knew nothing about drugs and wanted to know facts, that realization stemmed from me knowing druggies (and they being some of the best people I knew), my high school social group being the intersection between the smart kid/intellectual and druggie crowds....before that I was intensely studying poisonous plants (don't ask what I intended to do with this knowledge, I was a disturbed child) so from there to entheogens wasn't too crazy an extension.
 
I never really had many opinions about drugs, since I knew virtually nothing about them and somehow avoided / ignored any anti-drug messages that came my way. I disliked the idea of smoking, but I bore no grudge against smokers, and again, never really thought about it. Alcohol wasn't particularly interesting to me, it has an effect I often enjoy in certain situations but it would have been a stretch to grow any real attachment to it. I do think that everything I'd heard about LSD made it sound very spectacular but I had no inclination to seek it out, being occupied by other things and obviously having no access to it either.

It wasn't until I was fourteen I started thinking that it might be cool to smoke a joint every now and then to relax and contemplate life. Then I started reading about psychedelics and decided it was all very interesting indeed. I guess overall my attitude was never pro or anti drug as a kid, I was never one to absorb societally given values if I didn't have a personal reason to concur with them. Then I got into them and was pretty much pro-drug. That was from about sixteen to eighteen. From nineteen onwards my attitude turned to largely indifferent, although I will probably always believe that for some people drugs like MDMA and Psilocybin Mushrooms can provide highly positive and eye-opening experiences.
 
I went from neutral to interested. I would have stayed neutral if it weren't for the cops coming into my school to give us drug talks. I swear that those stupid anti-drug talks in schools make a lot more people curious about it.

In my case, it certainly helped that almost everyone I knew was doing drugs or wanting to try them at the nearest opportunity.

I wouldn't say I'm pro-drug now... I more or less acknowledge that drugs will probably always be part of my life in some form or another. I'm not anti-drug either, but I do acknowledge what drugs really gross me out or that I would never consider doing in a million years.
 
Extremely anti-drug. It wasn't until I met a boyfriend who had just quit prior to dating me that I became interested. For someone who just quit he sure loved to recollect on all the awesome times he had on drugs. Jealousy and curiosity can be a wild thing. Though in my studies I did find a few loopholes in his stories :sus:.
 
Im sure a lot of people have as well, including me ^

I wasnt necessarily anti-drug nor pro-drug, but didnt think it was really for me. Heard the DARE horror stories etc etc, but also the not so bad stories of friends older brothers that smoked weed, worked a full time job and also went to school part time.

At 13 I was presented with the opportunity to try weed, smoked but didnt get high so I didnt see what the hype was about. Fast forward to 14, weed showed up again and I was sky high. My life hasnt been the same since.
 
I was definitely pro drug. I saw it as something that was different something other then the 9-5 life we where all told to want. Plus drugs of all sorts, including Cannabis, psychs, benzos, opiates, stimulants and cocaine not to mention alcohol where all very popular here.

I remember first getting drunk when i was about 7 or 8 years old, smoking Cannabis when i was 11,, taking codeine and Valium when i was about 12 and taking shrooms when i was 14. I grew more impressed with each one but eventually wound up a alcoholic who drifted into opiate addiction :|

I am in the same boat... Though I am the boy being cheated on.

I don't even feel angry, mostly deprived, weak. Drained.

I was able to use 2 sex drugs, GHB and meth. I never cheated. No one else seems to have this capability. What is it about people that makes them want to hurt one another?

Anti-drug is not how I feel. I believe rXs should be made more available to those capable of using them and federal policies concerning illicit drug running should be actually enforced. Perhaps it's my sleep deprived brain, but I believe the government can stop the drug war whenever they feel like it.

QFT.

I was had no opinion on drugs before I used them, they were just "bad" and I never thought further than that.I had turned 14 and was going into 8th grade. Then I saw my best friend at the mall when he was high on weed for his first time, he was so hilarious and blazed, he ate an entire Sbarro pizza ( huge slices) as one big folded over pizza tube. haha.... after that I HAD to get high, it looked like my friend had been having a blast. So after almost getting ripped off completely (literally someone tried to sell me a dime that was .01g in it like dust from the bag) I paid a good chunk of change to smoke a few bowls with some 18 year olds who were happy to oblige ( and make money off me.)
 
When I was at school I was anti drugs but I was already smoking cigarettes.
That didn't last long though as I slowly discovered the fun to be had from weed, acid, E,speed etc.
It wAs great fun for a while until I eventually ended up a heroin addict for nearly 12 years.
They can be fun but they can also ruin your fun as well if allowed to.
 
I was actually never anti pot. Though I was anti hard-drugs, I was never judgmental towards users when I was a kid nor did I think less of them. I always thought 'it's their business'.

I was however, VERY anti-smoking. Lol. I still loathe smoking, but I do it anyway. Weak, I tell ya!
