Stole some beers out of the fridge with a friend at her house when I was 14ish. Then alcohol was all over my house, so I started watering down my mother's gin and vodka and... oh lord, 99 Bananas... I wretch just thinking about it. So it was only drinking for a long time.

Then another friend introduced me to marijuana. I can say that pot use is probably the most healthy of drug use, even daily users can be highly functioning. Pardon the pun.

I remember smoking a joint in the schoolyard of some random high school in my neighborhood with my friend. I don't know why we thought that was a good place to smoke (I think she was stalking a boy who went to the school, actually), but there we were. Then I went home and ate some day old sushi from the fridge and it was AWESOME. Most of my introduction to drugs happened at punk shows, where people would pass around random pipes, reload them when they were empty (different people, with different shit, ugh my first and last Salvia experience...) and just fucking crazy shit like that. It's a good way to get mouth herpes. :)

Ugh, and then my HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH invited me and a friend back to his place to smoke up and I officially became a pot head. I have no recollection of how we got to his place, nor how I got home. But I remember that sexy Jew bastard and his excellent reefer and mediocre guitar playing. <3

Then I got into cocaine through this same friend by chance. She had some, was over my house, so we went into the bathroom and I had my first line. I think it was the first time I felt powerful. That led me into a multitude of drugs; trying everything I could get my hands on, really. But the mainstays have always been alcohol, benzos, cocaine, LSD, marijuana and now, opiates, which have gotten me completely hooked. I've had periods of sobriety where I stopped using cocaine on my own, stopped drinking on my own but benzos, marijuana and opiates are now my way of coping with life/having fun... what is the distinction? I don't know.
 
After surgery with IV Fentanyl and Midozolam. Was so innocent before then.
 
Toked a joint when a mate offered me a drag, absolutely hated it, said yeah cos I though sod it, let's c wots so bad that we're always gettin told to say no.
Since then always bin the same way, bin in a situation where somethings floating about, I'm offered, I try.
If I don't like, meh. If I do, I seek out my own supply.
Just a curious, try anythin once mentality I guess, who' s wounded up in situations where others are doin drugs.
 
I was 13 and id been interested in trying cannabis for a while, since I read a lot of stuff in the internet about how it wasn't actually bad for you. A older lad offered me some "Tac" (shit soap bar cannabis resin) and I smoked it off a can-pipe, didnt really feel much until the 3rd time i tried it.
 
I first smoked weed after my friend told me he tried it with his cousin and said it was amazing. He was my best friend, I trusted him, and I've always been more of a follower than a leader so I said why not? I pretty much just smoked weed and drank for 4 years though. I got into coke just being in college and being drunk and kind of following the "fuck it" logic when I saw people racking up lines. LSD was a drunken spur of the moment thing too. Tried MDMA for the first time when me and some buddies tried to get some coke and all the guy had was rolls so we said fuck it why not? I guess most of my drug use first started with just wanting to experiment. And then I found BL and found out about different RCs and whatnot.
 
I started using cannabis (first illegal drugs) because I heard a lot of good things, and after researching it extensively, I thought it sounded like a lot of fun. Which it was.
 
First started drinking at 11 with my cousin- found my grandads schnaps and scotch- got fucked. Continued drinking for a few years and then experimented with LSA, NOS and DMT/ayhuasca/yopo - because I didn't want to buy pot from a dealer. First smoked pot during the first student protest in London at Millbank and smoked it religiously for about 5 months until I started buying speed/MDMA/cocaine and a whole host of other RCs. Then got into opiates and other downers after I got hit by a car and was prescribed tramadol and valium for 2 weeks, used Pods for 6 months straight and after trying to stop and experiencing my first WDS I just moved on to oxy, heroin and others.
 
I started using dissociatives at 14 because of too much stress, a lot of it related to school, I couldn't find a common language with my peers. Then I quickly moved on to opioids as they could give me both the dissociation from the painful world and feeling of pleasure adding something to repair a bit the broken self-esteem just for a second. Being also interested in chemistry, I soon found out how to use some of my knowledge and abilities to help the addiction. But I mainly took pharmaceutical morphine in ampoules and levorphanol. At the same time I started taking benzodiazepines. It was like I couldn't go out without taking 2 stupid temazepam pills. Once I took more and I remembered ending up in a hospital. Well, then I started getting prescriptions for other benzodiazepines. It was so simple that I did it very often and had lots of estazolam, lorazepam, and temazepam. Sometimes I switched lorazepam with lormetazepam, estazolam with nitrazepam, and temazepam with diazepam. So a few chill pills did the job during the main part of the day and then I took codeine, then morphine.

The outer world and the pressure it puts on you can be sometimes deadly.
 
Curiosity, which led to research, which led to the discovery that THC often inhibits Tourettes Syndrome tics, which I have a fairly severe case of.
Turns out MDMA has the same effect too, and probably plenty of other substances, but I'm too cautious to test it with anything addictive. I have enough trouble dealing with psychological addictions with those two!
The catalyst for actually trying (read, obtaining) the above was peer pressure though. I told my mate about my research, and he figured that was as good an excuse as any to get hold of some for himself and me. When the solution to a life-long curse is right there in front of you, is there really any option but to try it?
 
Be honest...why are you doing drugs???

I had a rare cancer,which resulted in many major leg surgeries.Which then resulted in R.S.D...Whats your excuse???

I appreciate your honesty,LOL.I'm always curious about the psychology on topics like these.Let's see how creative others get;)
 
Music enhancement mainly. To make things more interesting in my own little world I'm usually in at night. Stimulants usually give me some great music appreciation and I can sit there and listen to music for hours, ala 4-MMC. MXE also has it's own way with music enhacement that can't be beaten.

Depends on the drug though. I love the feeling of sedative opiates and that nice strong itch. In that case I'm taking it to chill the fuck out and watch tv or something.

I have tried numerous novelty psychedelics. 2C-I around 4 times, 25i-NBOME once at a weak dosage, DOC once, and my favorite so far 4-AcO-DET. A very light trip but was just perfect. No negative side effects at all and everything was so interesting. Better yet, I was asleep 4.5 hours after dosing.

My reasoning for those psychedelics.... curiosity. And entertaining myself again for the night with something new. Not the biggest fan of psychedelics though so it's a rare thing for me.

That pretty much sums it all up. I take a high interest in biochemistry as it's my current major. The way drugs work is something I'll always want to learn more about so taking things myself to experience them first hand just comes with the curiosity.
