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

Hmm. I was pretty much anti-drugs, although when I was drunk and people were smoking weed I didn't say no to a couple of puffs. I also always have loved to provoce (sp?) people, esp. authorities, which has gotten me in a lot of useless trouble mainly with teachers/principals. Oh, I started smoking at around 15 and drinking at 15-16, I think I smoked weed for the first time (like 5 times total now) sometime then.
Well, how my "real" drug use started was when a friend of mine was in Amsterdam. He and his friend went out and bought some mushrooms. I think (though not sure) that it was 2g cubensis. They weren't feeling it, so they went out for more and bought 1g of cyanescens. They had a pretty rough trip, obviously.
After that my friend did more research on it, and also asked me if I wanted to try. I was anxious about it, after all this was not weed or a toy drug, it was real, but one day I tried a small dose (0.7g) of cubensis, a week later 2g, and after that 3g. I was on the path of psychedelics.
Another friend of mine had also tried E and LSD around new-years 2002 (or should I say 2001?) and said how that was. So anyway, we got some acid, and a day in March (if I remember correctly) we gathered at my friend T's house for a trip. For me it was pretty rough, but I came out being a so much better person (after the week of confusion that followed).
Gone was the cynical, hateful me. Of course, I still love cynical and satirical humor, and often use such punchlines, but my hate for the world was gone. Most of my hate towards other people and cultures and whatever was gone. I could listen to other people and actually understand their points too, instead of just focusing on a straight path that was my beliefs and hammering them just to win a discussion.
I started to accept people for who they were; people. All with their quirks and weirdnesses, but after all: people, not more not less. I understood how war is destructive and ruines lives. I understood how every murder victim and every war victim is a huge individual number, not just a number in a newspaper. Basically I got many of my beliefs turned around, which was a bit harsh but oh so rewarding.
For the two weeks after taking acid for the first time I had these cravings to do it again (psychological), but I knew that I shouldn't and that it will only mess stuff up. The next time I took acid was in mid-June. We introduced some more friends to it that time, btw. (My friend got me to do drugs, now we've turned on a good deal of our mutual friends, but only on psychedelics). That trip was just perfect. Everything was so perfect. I was indescribabely euphoric the whole time, feeling that I'd tapped in to the essence of life. (The trip report is in Trip Reports forum called LSD - Chemical Wonderland).
After that I tried speed twice during the summer, but didn't really like it. The comedown left me feeling so fucked in my head that I hated it. I have no problems with alcohol hangovers, but speed. Yuck. Prolly won't touch that again.
Six weeks ago I smoked 5-MeO-DMT (interesting), and a few days later I tried 5-MeO-DiPT (okay, but taken in a bad set/setting). In a month I'm hoping to embark on another acidic voyage into space and mind. That sums up my drug use for now, with more to come.
Sorry for long rant, but when I started writing it brought back memories :)
 
after going to raves for a while i was curious about the drug that influinced people sweaty covered in vicks to come up and hug me.
but then i started getting into more hallucinogens.
 
6th grade health teacher :)
She told us about LSD. She said it makes you "see sounds and hear colors and that you see crazy patterns and have a body high for 12 hours." All I could say then was "Wow"
I wasnt interested in marijuana till age 14, but LSD had me going at age 12.
Still have yet to have good LSD, but the search continues.
 
I got interested in drugs at the late age of 19, when I found out that a friend of mine was smoking pot occasionally. I had my doubts and asked him all the usual questions, like "doesn't one become addicted", "doesn't it lead to harder drugs" etc. He provided reasonable answers, and I tried it out one evening on a beach of a small lake, which was a very nice experience for me. Since that I've been smoking occasionally for years, mostly just 5-20 times a year, although currently approximately 6-8 times a month.
Last year I became more interested in other drugs, and did (and I do still) a lot of research of different drugs I'd like to try, and tried out salvia a couple of times, although unfortunately without success. Currently on my "to-do list" are cocaine, lsd, ecstasy, mushrooms, 2-cb and 2c-t-7. DXM and PCP I don't want to try, heroine and ketamine possibly some day.
I guess the ultimate reason for trying and want to try drugs is just my addictivity for new experiences and the need to learn something about myself, and also recreation of course. :)

my story goes pretty much like vegtable's, seeing as we're friends and were met with more or less the same circumstances.
i went through high school not really thinking too much about drugs, or alcohol for that matter. at all. sure some of my friend's smoked weed, but i didn't really take notice.
then i came to college, met up with some people, took my first smoke of weed shotgunned from my now girlfriend of 2 years. the school year progressed, everyone got to know each other and as it turned out, a good majority of these people used to or still did drugs. so i thought, what the hell, did some research, made my decision, and here i am at bluelight.
i'd say it was mainly curiosity. nothing really mindblowing happened. i suppose certain drugs gave me a new perspective of things and i believe myself to be a happier/better person because of it. saying that i won't tell anyone to go out and do drugs, but at the same time i won't discourage them either.
just be educated, and stay safe.
 
everyone is anti-drug up until a certain age, because our parents and society teach us to be that way...
why did i try drugs..it wasnt because of a traumatic experience in my life, i wasnt depressed or trying to fit in, i simply tried the drugs because they were THERE and curiosity is what tempted me to take them...certain drugs i didnt like(WEED and KETAMINE) and other drugs i loved(ALCOHOL, OPIATES, GHB and other misc. DOWNERS)...i had never really thought about what made me start taking drugs up until about 6 months ago...
if yer gonna have an addiction it might as well be drugs!!!
 
hmm well stuff like alcohol, tobacco, early on simply coz they were there to be tried...
other stuff tho such as pills, salvia, acid, etc etc i became interested in coz of the band Tool...hehe... another example of heavy music corrupting the youth of the nation...and i guess you could say its in a kinda spiritual way... as in i dont just take stuff to get fucked off my head... i like to take stuff for the "experience"...and to see where it can lead me and what it can show me... if im making any sense here :)
 
the first time i became curious about drugs was when i was 11. i had been around drugs my whole life and it was a hard time growing up around that. so one day i found a bag of my moms pot and showed it to my brother and asked if we could smoke it. he was a little bit older and he was really aprehensive about it but agreed. i didnt actually start doing "harder drugs" till high school.
my freshman year i began drinking everyday and smoking pot with my friends.
sophmore year i tried painkillers and ectasy.
junior year i was eating painkillers almost everyday and tried acid.
senior year tried coke.
year later tried shrooms.
^^ same year as current and i eat painkillers once in a while and E once in a while, and smoke pot everyday.
basically its an escape from my depression and my anxiety and it helps me escape bordom. i know these aren't good excuses but its what works for me now. its not about raves or peer pressure. and if people think all a rave is about is the drugs, you're totally wrong. ive never beento a rave on drugs. i like to experience great electronic music live and sure i smoked a joint on the way but a rave isnt to go to get high or roll.
people who do that r toatlly fucking over people who go to see a performence and dance and just being in a wonderful atmosphere with very cool people.
 
As for me, i have never like pot. I grew up around it and i saw the devastating effects it had on my life and those concerned with my family (i'm nto saying this happens to everyone, but it happened to me.) I went through some pretty tough times with weed as a contributing factor to that, so i hated the stuff.
I smoked a bit when i was in Canada, over a period of a year and wasn't too impressed by it.
When i returned to aus i met new people and started on speed, meth and e. It wasn't because i was curious, peer pressure, or depression - it was because i WANTED to, and no reason other than that.
Now i dont' really do much of that shit, but i'm hanging out to go tripping sometime - hallucenogens are all i really want to experience now, once i've done that i'll probably get bored and take up skydiving or something... ;)
 
honestly, i don't remember being anti-drug really at any time..i either didn't really know what they were, or kind of had some odd idea that i would do them someday...i was kind of the same way with sex. i don't every remember thinking that i was going to only have sex with my "one true love" or anything
i waited until i was 17 to do either..and it just wasnt that big of a change in mental set
 
My parents did everything they could to raise me to be anti-drugs. They homeschooled me all the way from kindergarten through highschool and rarely mentioned drugs except to say how EVIL they were.
However, when I was about 14 or 15 I started really liking the Beatles. I was obsessed with them. My parents constantly complained that the Beatles were "BAD" people and they did "DRUGS." Well, if the Beatles--my idols--did drugs, then there had to be SOMETHING good about drugs, I thought. So then my curiosity in drugs was raised considerably.
Over the next few years I was very interested in drugs and read lots of books and websites to find out as much as I could, but I knew I could never get by with doing drugs. Not only would my parents kill me, but being raised only around church kids and homeschoolers, I didn't know anybody to even GET drugs from.
The more I got into rock music, the more my parents complained that it would only lead to drugs. And the more they said that, the more my interest in drugs increased. I was angry that my parents were depriving me of things I should be able to experience if I wanted.
And then when I was 18, I FINALLY got to leave home and go to college in England. And that's when I started doing drugs--and loved it. I tried everything I could get my hands on. All I wanted was to try as many different drugs as fast as I could. And now drugs have become a major part of life for me--and it's great. I don't regret it at all.
THE POINT: Parents, your kids are gonna do what they want to do eventually, so just BACK THE FUCK OFF! Give 'em space if you want to expect anything GOOD ever coming from them.
 
well one of my freinds went to ireland, came back, told me she took e when she was up there. I wasnt really totally against drugs, but just never thought of taking the stuff. She asked me if i wanted to take one. Our of curiosity i did. I loved it! Later on my friends found out through her big mouth. I dont talk to her much anymore, but still do it. I knew no one that did E. But 6 months later 5 of friends started doing it, from curiosty as well through me.
Now i know over 20 of my friends that do it, never thought of they did that stuff, but as soon as they found out i did, they told me that they do as well.
Well my friends have basically accpeted the fact that i do E, im not as close to some of them, as i was before.
 
in 1997 i was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a potentially dangerous disease. it effect ones large intestines and makes it extremely difficult to control ones bowels and painful to digest food if not controlled. the only way out is surgery. I tried X in 1998 and loved it. I was already inot the club and music scene, but never under ecstasys spell. I could go to a rave tomorrow and party drug free. however for those 6 hours im flying on E, I dont have my disease and its like there are no troubles in my life health wise. I still drop periodically and love life when i do!!!
 
I was always a fairly quiet kid in school, right through up until college. I had friends, but they were like me, quiet, boring people. A couple of my cousins were into the drugs in their younger years, and had told me about their experiences.
I always enjoyed hearing about them, but never wanted to 'risk' getting into those drugs (because 'drugs are bad').
It was around when I met my first true girlfriend, I've had past relationships but they were the kind you knew wouldn't last (silly high school crushes). I gained a lot of self confidence with her, and with that confidence came the desire to try new and exciting things.
So I decided then, after hearing about ecstasy, to try out e (as did my girlfriend). Its pretty much standard from there, trying out new drugs and learning more and more about them since. :\
 
For the longest time I only touched alcohol. Other drugs did not interest me and, in fact, I frowned upon those who used them. However, one day I was surfing the web and I found a sight dedicated to the works of Alexander Shulgin. I saw his books and ordered 'Pihkal' out of curiousity. It turned out that I believed in many of his ideals, despite the extensive drug use. The more I looked into the nature of drugs the less risky and unhealthy they seemed. At some point I decided I would try some of the organic hallucinogens. I enjoyed all of my experiences, from San Pedro cactus to morning glory seeds, but I was most impressed by psilocybin. Then the ball just started rolling. I know dedicate much of my time to learning more about the practices behind each drug as well as the physiological and pharmacological reactions behind each. As long as you educate yourself, the outcome of each experience is within your control. Despite what the majority of the population says, drugs do have their benefits and no one should be able to take away someone's right to exploration and curiousity...
 
I grew up in a fairly boring town close to a big city. In high school I didn't touch anything, alcohol a few times and pot only senior year. 6 months after I graduated High school, I got into the rave scene and started dropping E every weekend. Then I was introduced to painkillers, I became addicted to vicodin for about 7 months, but while on vicodin I started selling drugs. I sold E primarly but also basically anything I could get my handds on, pharmy's, k, glass, yayo, etc.. My boy got raided, my parents found out, went to rehab, kicked vicodin and 2 years later I started selling drugs again and my boy just got raided again and I continued to use pharmy's but in moderation. I consider myself lucky for not getting raided one time even though I was just as involved if not more than the ones who were raided. Moral of the story... dont go to a rave ;) j/k
 
I became friends with people who occasionaly smoked weed and was just intersted in what they said. So when I was offered it I took it.
Then later on I got drunk and didnt like it as much as weed at all. I thought weed would be the only drug I'd ever do
Started smoking much more heavily.
Friend of mine bought some speed. I thought it was a really bad idea, but I ended up doing some anyway and LOVED it!!
That made me become more intersted in drugs. I did research, and found out about most drugs and thought about ones that sounded good and ones that sounded bad.
Then I had the oppourtunity to try X. LOVED IT!! I think it changed me as a person and good pills are still my favourite drug (but we ALWAYS get shit pills now :( )
Then I really got into reading about various different drugs and trying anything.
I think I know a bit about most drugs and I just like to be in the state where someone can offer me something and instead of saying "Whats that then" I can actualy tell them stuff about the drug they dont know, and justify why I either do or dont want to do it.
I recently started doing acid as well, and I hope to gain a lot from that.
I dont really smoke weed anymore (havn't done it now in weeks) becasue a few of my friends smoke way too much (spending ALL their money on getting weed) and I really dont think its worth it. If I wanted to im sure I could blag free weed every day and I could afford to smoke lots, and with a good friend being a dealer its easy for me, but Id rather not be a stupid lazy kainer!!
I just find drugs incredibly fun, and actualy productive in my life! If I was hit by a bus tomorrow there isnt much Id regret doing. Id hate to die having never experienced a drug like Ecstasy! I wouldnt say now that there are certain drugs Id never do, becasue I think that all of them have a time and a place. As my life is now I wouldn't do opiates or extreme psychadelics like DMT, but Im sure at some point I will.
When I retire Im seting up my own drugs lab, and spending the last years of my life making fuck off powerful drugs, and just getting wasted all the time. Im going to be the greatest Granddad!!!

i started doing drugs back in my first year of highschool with smoking pot, like every other kid does...only pot was my gateway drug and from there i had an obsession with ecstasy and salvia, and coke. but my favorite was lsd. today, i am a freshmen at college and i no longer do x because the effects arnt as good as they used to be, so instead snorting a few good lines of heroin is the ultimate euphoria.
in my case it was just a snowball effect.
 
Im 15 years of age and i would like to let you no how easy it is for someone to touch drugs.
well by the time i was 15 i had tried weed, alcohol and antidepressant pills.I also went through the stage telling everyone i will never do any of that thinking that i wouldnt at the time.Because as i was growing up i was around alot of people that were on drug and that had fucked there life up form drugs so automatically i really hated it.
Just recently i have been going to raves and getting into clubs with my friends, my friends have just recently tryed pills and said its the best thing they have ever done and they really love it. they were telling me all about it and i thought that it wasnt that bad so they asked me to try it to.I never ever would of thought that the people that i hung around would even ask me cause they havent been brought up around drugs like me.
i am still going to school and im still living at home with my mum, my mum has no idea that i have been doing this and even if i told her im sure that she would be devastated and i couldnt do that.
all i could really say is that i strongly belive that its your friends and people that you no, that really get you in to drugs.Not saying that your not responiable for your own actions and you could say no. but its alot harder to say no when all the people that you have growed up with are doing and everyone else.
my opion is i love doing and i think that its the best thing that i have ever done.
BUT I NO MY LIMITS
 
its actually weird i went out with a bunch of friends none of which did drugs i wasnt drinking and i was having a shitty time everyone around me seemed to be having a ball so i asked one of them why they were so high on life she told me that she had taken an e so i did something pretty dumb i asked her where i could get one and i had the best time of my life now i dont drink anymore and i have a really good time when i go out. i find e to be a social drug u dont see people fighting likr u do when there drunk and everyone is nice to each other i meet so many people when im rollin its great.
