Why did you first try drugs?

Why did you first try drugs?
Didn't you hear the warning signs?
I've read stories about parents giving drugs to their own kids,
that's the kind of wtf stories I'm looking to read about.
I would love to hear your story as to: "Why you tried drugs?"

Hmm, hard to explain why.
I started smoking weed purely because everybody else was, tried it once and I loved the stone, therefore continued.

Now, Heroin. I was having a lot of trouble at the time, and Iknew my then-boyfriend was taking it. One night I had an argument with my Mum, and got that upset I turned up at my boyfriends door in hysterics just shouting "I need drugs, anything. I can't cope"

I struggle to understand why I took it myself, considering my cousin died of a heroin overdose when I was only 12. But it was the whole "I'll never get addicted" bullshit I fed myself that actually got me addicted.

And the rest is history...
 
First post says it all for the majority of people today. I smoke weed cuz it was always around. Other drugs i just had to try to find out if it was as bad/good they say. So far im disappointed with how my school came at the students with drugs.
 
Cause I wanted to try smoking pot. Got my stuttering buddy Brian's older brothers to hook us up in 8th grade, I didn't get all that high but because I was Joe Cool with the smoke I got to 2nd base for the first time. 1995 -96 at the local downtown theater, THE MOVE WAS DEMON KNIGHT.

Unfortunatly i started drugs to try to escape from reality which at the time was real bad and getting worse. At the time it felt right but later on i realized what a poor choice it was.

same here, it was back when I was 15, things were going very very bad, tried to kill self but failed, so started doing drugs instead..which helped a lot..

but then things got better, a lot better. But the habit was still there. The original reasons were no longer there, it became more of oh I;m bored, or if I want to have fun at this party or gathering or whatever I need drugs. it became to be to enhance my fun..

by the way this is just drugs in general, I'm not going to go over which particular drug.
Casue i started of with coke and speed, then later became OXY and morphine

Drugs put you in a state of utopia - happiness.
Most addicts already hated their lives and started using to escape unhappiness.
 
Ninth grade all my homeboys were getting stoned so hell I thought why the fuck not, I'm not a pussy. Pot led to getting hoes, hoes led to MDMA, MDMA led to ghb.

Tried meth and coke, realized I'm not a upper/stimulant person,
Which then made me think I'd love heroine so Ive never fucked with it.

Ill stick to the murky water
 
curiosity but now its definitely to fill a gap, I guess I am one of those many few who feels life just isn't enough.
 
In AA they told us that people usually use drugs to either a) run away from life b) run TOWARDS life.

I started drugs to run TOWARDS life...

either way... they are destructive eventually
 
I tried weed a few times when I was younger but never dreamed of doing anything else. When I got a little older, more into music, art and creativity, I couldn't help but start noticing how literally ALL of my most influential musicians that I looked up to were dead from heroin OD's. They also all had many songs glorifying drug use, as well as songs about addiction and such.

It got to a point where I simply had to know why all these guys used drugs. I knew I was smart and could moderate myself, but then again, don't we all? :)

Since then I must say I'm very glad I started. I've had some trouble here and there, but I feel like I finally found a balance where I can have drugs as a beneficial part of my life without them taking over. It's all about SELF DISCIPLINE!!!
 
I had wanted to explore every corner of my mind - curiosity to see what my brain was capable of.
 
I started drinking because a girl I liked in High School drank almost every weekend, so I would say it wast mostly Peer Pressure.

I started smoking weed after I broke up with a girl who smoked marijuana regularly and it never seemed to me that she had any serious problems so I tried it and it opened me up to trying everything else out of curiosity.

Great post ! Love the truth about what drugs really are.
 
Curiousity

But it was weird, I have no clue where this curiousity came from. Nobody I knew used drugs and it took me AGES to source me some. I used to read loads on erowid before I finally got the chance to try - it was alcohol then MDMA for me.
 
I would say practically all of the reasons on the poll, the main ones being curiosity and escape from anxiety/depression. I wouldn't say peer pressure because no one ever really pressured me to do drugs, but surrounding definitely played a role too.
