⭐️ Social ⭐️ Why you're deciding to get into drugs?

cigarettes were my gateway drug!
I rememeber always being told not to smoke or do drugs, and i also remember once telling my mom at a very young age that i would someday buy a pack of cigarettes just to see what it was like.
Once i started smoking cigarettes in 7th grade, and my friends were teling me about pot, i saw it just like cigarettes only better. I tried to get some as soon as possible. My friend got some from his brother and we got high at the end of my road (still 7th grade). It was cool.
Then i stareted smokeing a lot of pot in grade 9, shrooms in grade 10, and a lot of acid in grade 11. During those years I've done many many different drugs though.
I was never REALLY anti-drug, the only drug i really remember learning about as a child was crack, and the TV taught me it was VERY deadly and it could kill you very easily, my impression was smoking crack was like playing russian roulette. I wasn't agaisnt it, i just wasnt interested in almost certain death, lol.

I'm 17 now, turning 18 in just 6 days now and ive tried weed (a lot), booze and xtc..
When i was about 14 or 15 i was at a family wedding and there was free alcohol so i drank heaps of that and got so smashed, was a good night, although i made a fool outta my self.
Near the end of 2000 I was over at a mates house, and he offered me a cone (yes I smoked out of a bong first) so i said yes.. all i can remember about that night is, laughing a shit load and thinking the effect of the THC was never going to wear off which made me scared coz i had about 2 cones and i was bent for at least 4hrs.. Ive been smoking weed to much since then, although i stopped for 2 months before my year 12 exams which was a good effort on my part i think :) .
First time i tried xtc was at a rave in Australia, Melbourne called 2 tribes..
After reading heaps of stuff on xtc on the net (mostly here) i decided to do it so me and my mate went to 2 tribes which was earlier in the year (i think march maybe) and i dropped there. That night was the most amazing night for me, ill never ever forget it, it was just so good. Since then ive only tried it once which was just last weekend, i went to a club called bubble in Melbourne and had another unforgetable night.
Sorry for going off track and boring you with my stories but the main reason i tried drugs was just outta curiousity and probably peer pressure to an extent.. But that probably wasnt a good idea starting weed because since then, its eaten my motivation away and now im just a bumb..
I want to try more drugs like lsd, mushies, speed.. not sure about coke tho, to hardcore for me, but ill probably do it one day if i get the opportunity, not just yet tho.
 
I was not that popular in school. I met some new pot'head friends at age 12, and they were pot heads. Wanting to be accepted I tried some and I had the best fucking time of my life. I was already drinking being from a hick town. Well then that was all I talked about. Getting stoned. Well then 13 mush, 13 LSD, I've taken ritalin, robotussen cough syrup, ect. Did heroin at 15. Was in rehab at age 17 for a nasty crack addiction. Smoked it all summer long. Then got into crystal dealth after graduation, and then E at 19. Well now when I do go out it's 5 pills 2 viles of K and 2 caps of GHB. I have slowed but still smoke pot very frequently
 
i started freshman yr in hs just drinking, cigarettes and VERY rarely weed.. just peer pressure basically. my dad was a huge druggie and it took him nowhere fast so i thought drugs were bad. senior yr in hs i dunno why, i just started smoking weed more than rarely, it was fun and it was better than drinking.. and i realized i could control it, just b/c my dad was an ass didn't mean everyone who did drugs would end up like him! then i went to college and met some cool guys who let me smoke for free so i smoke weed like whenever i can which is sometimes every day but i haven't in a week now... and we've smoked opium but i hear opium is hard to get in the US now so maybe they were wrong and it wasn't really opium, i don't know, but it was GOOD. and i am looking forward to trying other things just b/c i'm bored and i have nothing else to do lol and its fun it makes you feel good. at this point i only plan on doing x, shrooms/lsd or some other hallucinogen, and MAYBE coke. it all depends what oppurtunities present themselves i guess.
 
I was very straight until I was 19 (didn't smoke, drink, anything) then at 19 a friend offered me an E and it changed my whole perception of drugs.
I grew up with the subconscious idea that drugs were dirty and dangerous, not the risks but just the whole idea of "mind altering substances". The same applied to my attitudes on homosexuality and lesbianism - it was never really talked about, but the whole thing had a sort of dirty feel to it. I don't know if school or my parents were responsible for this or whether I was just prudish.
Therefore it was so liberating to find out that some drugs could give you amazing and constructive experiences, and to talk with people who were completely open about their sexuality and drug use. I've never had an experience that I've regretted and I've learned so much from everything that has happened to me since that point.

Depression all my life and having ADD led me to look for something, anything to make me feel "normal" or at least not so depressed all the time and as darvon seemed to help, I searched for something similar but more readily available which led me to research on growing poppies then to the spice rack of the supermarket and when my first poppies matured, I knew I had found my antidepressant! :)

Tool's music got me into drugs. At first, like most people I was anti-drug because of health class. In eighth grade I began listening to Tool and all I wanted to do was to expand my conciousness. I tried weed then and haven't stopped since. It's really hard for me to find a lot of drugs where I live so the only things I've done are alcohol, pot, painkillers and ecstasy. I don't really do anything non-psychedelic anymore though. Mainly for spiritual reasons.
 
my story is pretty much same with others, family, school and society taught me not to touch drugs and plus my father died over drugs. I still remember my mum used to say if we(my borther and I) touch drugs, she will kill us, at the age of 12 my brother tried weed but i didnt coz it was so smelly.
Note: we came from an asian country so weed is not very hard to get at the age of 12
i came to sydney when i was 19, still didnt touch it, i wasnt into rave scene but clubbing was my favorite, i went out evry weekend, drinking alchohol only and i felt good and now im 26, started taking E this year and i loved it so much, i agreed to try coz my friends kept on telling me how good it is but i guess i cant blame on them coz im an adult now, its just me, a soon-to-be addict LoL ( i hope not). i havent tried anything other drugs, last time i took a pill and i felt great, maybe this NYE ill go for 2, let's see what happens.

Basically, I found out my sister(she's 7 yrs older) was smoking pot a little more than a yr ago and she offered and I accepted. Me and her have similar views on drugs (almost everything is okay in moderation, and as long as you keep control of your use) and when I found out she started smoking a year before that and so it kinda just proved my theory. Currently I drink regularly(shit I'm drinking right now) smoke, roll a little but I still get straight As and all that good shit. My parents have pretty much told me do as you please, just keep it together when you're supposed to, tho I'm 18 so there's very little they will say I can't do. So that's exactly what I do.
So my sister got me into weed, my boy got me into rolling, cuz he did it and I am all for new experiences and as for drinking, well I got myself into that cuz a lot of places here don't ID.
Oh and you know weed is a great relaxer when you're in pain(I have lower back pain cuz of a car accident and since my fucker of a doctor doesn't know what's wrong with me it hasn't been relieved, but weed totally makes the pain go away)
 
That sounds legitimate enough. Im not sure why i got into it, maybe cuz everyone was doin in and on spring break of 2002 they let me hit the bowl but i never felt it(it was my first time). So the last day of school that year i got a gram and smoked it all by myself, it was the first time i ever felt high and it scared the shit out of me. For some reason i wanted to do it again and then i began to like it... alot. Now i've quit pot and i only drink for th most part. This weekend Im trying DXM for the second time. (the first time i fell asleep before the trip started so i didnt feel it). I always wanted to try shrooms, i just hope that i dont want to roll or do coke or anything else, i just dont want to get into it. Well, enough of my blabbering. I guess i could just say that I go tinto drugs as an escape from reality and a feeling of indifference.
 
there's not really a reason why i started doing drugs, it just happened. i've always been a pretty open minded person, and as soon as i had friends who did them (in college), i tried it, too. i don't allow drugs to rule my life or control me, because whenever i feel that they are starting to, i quit that particular drug or moderate. i drink like 3 drinks maybe 3 days a week, smoke pot every day, mushed 6 times, took xtc about 30 times, did a few grams of meth here and there, cocaine once, and...that's about it. i'm doin aiight. good times.
 
Umm... the main reason is to get out of the reality that i am currently living in. to take the edge off life, i guess.
the reason why i am actually doing them, and not just wanting to, is because i made friend in the scene... they got me started.
I have always wanted to, to get out of the world for a bit, but i never would have gotten here without having the friends that i do.
 
I have never been fussed about pot but for some reason i was curious about other drugs such as e and meth. So when the oportunity arose I took my chances and i havnt regretted it,yet ;)
 
Short answer: I have issues. ;)

Long answer:

I was always one to question authority and accepted belief, I remember being ten or eleven years old arguing at the top of my lungs with a teacher and some girl in my class about the concept of time being a human construct.

Entering puberty early I got really depressed and pissed off at the world, and at around the same time everyone started going on about drugs to me, probably thinking they were helping to steer me clear.

But what I was told was that I would be an alcoholic, that it was a genetic inevitability since almost everyone in both my families has had problems with alcohol at some point in their lives. I became resigned to the fact that if I wanted to go out and drink like I saw people a few years olders doing, I would piss my life away.

So, basically I had nothing to lose. I bought all the alcohol I could and started drinking in the daytime, I drank once at a party but all my subsequent experiences were more or less at times I decided would be self-destructive to have a drink at (before school, etc., I was 13/14 at this point). Of course I started smoking cigarettes too, purely because of availability.

For me there was never a big transission from legal to illegal drugs, my parents had always made it pretty clear that if I was gonna have problems they were mostly worried about alcohol. My father in particular had made some comments when I was a kid, such as "Damn drunken hooligans always attacking cars on our street, why can't these people just smoke pot and stay home where they don't do anyone harm??". I had also seen enough movies and read enough literature to know it was widely accepted as a relatively safe intoxicant.

So basically I saw marijuana as equal to alcohol, and since everyone at school was telling me marijuana was as bad as heroin, I decided they were all as full of shit about this as they were about politics and philosophy. My field of interest moved from questioning reality and social norms to specifically focusing on the hypocracy of drinkers who campaign against illegal drugs.

I've always been a big drinker, but almost out of defiance I started associating myself more and more with illegal drugs than the legal ones. The hypocracy was so overwhelming I wanted to prove everyone wrong.

To that end I started abusing, rather than using, a lot of drugs like amphetamines, cannabis, alcohol, benzos and for a shorter time codeine. I even tried tripping every day for five days before I realized the whole tolerance thing had caught up in a big way.
Moral of the story? I've changed quite a bit, though my initial reasons were pure escapism, I've found something profound in my intoxicated states that I would never give up. Experiences I consider invaluable.

I just wish that at the time, I had the sense, and a site like this, to do it in a less damaging way. My attitude to drugs in the early days is the chief reason I fucked up most parts of my life, and in the end everyone around me felt I had been proven wrong about illegal substances. That was because I didn't treat them with any respect.
I still drink and smoke too much (cannabis), sometimes to escape from my depression and anxiety, but it's been more than three years since I did anything I would consider self-destructive binge-type behaviour.

So even if someone gets in on the ground floor for ALL the wrong reasons (literally!), there is hope for some reform, and for a more mature attitude to take hold. At least I hope that's what happened, maybe I just perfected by self-denial mechanism :)

Ah well...
I never was against drugs, except maybe cigarettes.. but I never was offered any before I was well in my 20's.. my high school friends weren't stuck up or anything, but they were all clean except for drinking alcohol. One of my friend had been bugging me for maybe a year because he wanted to me to go to a rave with him.. and finally he tricked me into going... that night I took E, ghb and speed .. nice introduction. Now I think i'm being pretty responsible even though I try some new stuff every once in a while... last but not least being San Pedro...
 
4 things: Curiosity, new and abnormal experiences, fun and the feeling.

The first drug I ever did, believe it or not, was DXM, not weed. So yeah, you can imagine that I had a VERY good time; it was probably the best high of my life. I remember almost peeing on the carpet, because I thought it was the bathroom (lol).

Why did I do it? Well actually I wasn't in to drugs at all and I wasn't even that curious. However, as you can imagine, I do have friends, and they did pressure me. As a matter of fact, that is pretty much the only reason I did it: they wouldn't stop bugging me. But, in any case, I don't regret it for the most part.

Why do I still them? Because of new experiences, the fun, , the feeling and the out-of-the-world adventure you go through.

All I can say is, you can do drugs if you want, but there is a difference between being stupid and being an absolute moron. You are stupid to take drugs, yes, but you are an absolute moron to abuse them to the point where you are seriously affecting you rhealth and your life. In other words, don't pop pills every day just because you want to be high. Go out, do stuff, play games, do anything, so that you won't HAVE to be high all the time. Depression? That is the worst reason to do drugs, because you will become way more depressed. And lastly, you shouldn't have to do drugs to accomplish things that you supposedly could not do when you were sober. Get some self confidence and enjoy life.

Anyways, yeah, drugs are evil but they can be a 'safe' evil if you be smart. Enjoying life and doing things, like hanging out with your best friends, going to the park, whatever; that can be a better high than any drug. So, what I'm saying is, I'm not against drugs, but you should not rely on them. Only do them occasionally, and on special occasions. That's my 2 cents.
 
"Anyways, yeah, drugs are evil but they can be a 'safe' evil if you be smart. "

Dude, I fail to see how you classify a group of chemicals as "evil"..How can inanimate chemicals carry a personality trait like "evilness?"..Sulfuric acid burns through skin, does that make it "evil" as well? Certain drugs carry addictive properties that cause people to want to use them more, others have possibly harmful side effects that can increase with dosage...However, IMO, no drug has ever "made" a person consume it, no drug carries the problems of irresponible use without having the problems inherent in the person beforehand. Sure, drugs have been part of a problem for thousands of people, but to pass off the entire problem because the drugs were "evil" is simply trying to pass the blame off on anything but yourself..
