Post your history of drugs, recreational and/or otherwise.

When I was 5 or 6 my mother thought I had attention deficit disorder or ADD. She put me on Ritalin and Dexamphetamine. Those drugs seemed to make me more hyper and the doctor who was psychologically examining me then decided that I didn't have ADD.

The next drug that I tried was alcohol and I've had some pretty positive experiences with alcohol as I'm sure that many have. I've only ever drunken too much once, the first time. I was at a friends party and I kept getting drinks fed to me (cliche excuse, I know). Anyway, I tried to drink water but got handed Vodka instead and then I vomited everywhere, luckily I was outside at the time. I had a lot of fun living that one down.

When I turned seventeen I began casually smoking weed. Marijuana, cannabis, pot whatever you prefer to call it. I only really ever do this in the presence of others and it doesn't seem to have much of an effect on me. I can't really understand why people would spend money on it or become addicted to it as it feels quite nonaddictive to me. I've had mostly positive experiences smoking weed and I've only smoked from a bong once. I've never smoked by myself but I think that it'd probably be really boring.

The only other drug that I've taken is ecstasy and I've only ever done it twice. The profound euphoria that seems to wash over my body when I take it is amazing. The first time I took it was at a party when a friend offered it to me. We proceeded to go back to his house and have a fantastic conversation and go through his clothes, books, CD's and comment on them and it made us both fantastic friends for some reason. We had very in depth conversations that were amazing, I'm really glad that I took the pill with him because it made us fantastic friends.

The other time that I took ecstasy was with my girlfriend and we had a lot of sex then wore very vibrant and bright clothing. She wore long rainbow socks (Like lifesavers) and a neon green shirt with a scottish kilt looking skirt and I wore jeans and a neon orange shirt. We put music on and danced then talked about our relationship, eachother and a lot of other things. We also went down to the all night gas station and talked to this lady who worked there, it was pretty funny.

Those are my experiences and I'm glad to have shared them. Now it's your turn to share yours!
 
Dear me. The first drug I took was mushrooms when I was fourteen. A man at a festival gave me a bag. I started doing poppers, faux weed from Glastonbury at fourteen whilst occasionally smoking pot at parties; started drinking at that age too. At fifteen we just drank a lot and smoked quite a lot of pot, moving onto E by the end of the year. Used to drop a couple of pills and go dancing. Or stay in her room and talk shit. Sixteen, again, a lot of pot smoking and pilling - stayed in her room on weed every weekend listening to Pendulum. I have incredibly fond memories of that time. A festival at 16 introduced us to LSD, straight MDMA, and speed; the last night was also the first time I tried cocaine. I loved it. At seventeen, pills every weekend - till one day, on a stunning blend of E and ketamine (my first time on that drug) I was raped and subsequently tried heroin. After the rape I was incredibly distrustful of drug dealers, preferring medical drugs (which I took a hell of a lot more of) - I drank a lot more and took sleeping pills and opiate, mostly codiene but occasionally hydrocodone and oxycodone when I could get a hold of it. Zopiclone, too. I was constantly wasted. I developed an addiction to Valium; my psychiatrist used to write out prescriptions like candy, seeing the train wreck I was, but when she quit it left me with a severe physical dependence and a GP who thought I'd be better off by coming straight off. Bad times.
By the time I was eighteen I was mostly off drugs - which, other than the valium, were never a problem; I just didn't associate with that world anymore - with the occasional strange evening in which I'd end up on pills or coke with people I met in the pub. Splitting up with my boyfriend facilitated a week long coke binge; this summer just gone (at eighteen-nineteen) I got rather into ketamine (and E made a return).
Mostly through the last year, though, I've just got stoned. I have also developed a major problem with alcohol - it's about time, I've been drinking badly for years.
Mostly, now, I try and keep off the drugs; my head is fragile enough without me pumping shit into it every weekend, though should I run across a bit of speed/coke/E at a weekend I won't say no.
 
Wow Akuchi, that's quite the tale.
I don't think I'd ever try anything stronger than ecstasy or LSD. Cocaine and Heroin seem much to strong for me and I don't think I'd ever risk the addiction. Another thing that really seemed to strike me as scary when reading your post was the amount of drugs that you described taking.

I think that some recreational drugs are fine when taken in a small amount and not in excess. They also should never be used in equilibrium with prescribed medicines and certainly not when you're feeling unstable.

What surprised me the most, apart from the amount of drugs that you've taken for someone who is only slightly older than me is how intelligent you seem. You also seem quite strong and I'm sure that you'll be able to put the drug addiction/excessive use behind you.
 
The problem with the drugs classification system we have in this country at least is the sheer fucking senselessness of a drug as harmless as E being classified in the same category as heroin. Heroin is a drug all it's own - incredibly strong, lethal, and massively, horrendously addictive. Doesn't really compare to running around shouting I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU for an evening on pills. Cocaine's not that terrible either.
Aye, reading through my post it looks like I've taken a lot of drugs, and to be fair, I have - but that was just the way my world worked back then. Instead've going down the pub for a pint, we'd sit in a park and smoke weed and take E. Cheaper, more fun and no need for ID. I never really made a concious decision to stop taking drugs, but as I drifted away from that group of friends and that lifestyle it was just an event that happened less and less.
I didn't go into my experiences with non-recreational drugs because a) they're a lot less fun and b) it would have been super tl;dr.. but aye. This summer looks like it's going to be quite a heavy one; planning to get in a lot of MDMA, LSD and cocaine, and have what could be perhaps one final summer of hedonism before I start university.
 
My home is in Bavaria, the part of Germany with the highest alcohol consume and of course the Oktoberfest so there is no question about which drug I take.
If you know your limits, a party in combination with alcohol is the best thing in the world!
I've never tried anything else and i dont think I will, I've just heard to many bad histories about "hard" drugs.
 
Had some Cigs and vodka before, but nothing too strong. I don't know how your body handled all that, Akuchi 0_0
 
I just turned 16 (february the 16th xD) and I'm allowed to buy bees and other low alcoholic drinks (I live in Holland where the minimum age is 16). I never drank much or smoke weed (although it's legal in Holland too, you probably know that).

Also @akuchi, wow O_o
 
you're a kid; it's an acquired taste

on the subject of drugs: i've only smoked weed, and ive had a few pills which were actually pretty awesome. im not going to turn it into a regular thing, but on a big night ill probably do it again. i would like to try mdma but thats it - no coke, no heroin, no acid (maybe at glastonbury), no ketamine
 
While that may be a very important factor, a lot of these people started/had experiences with drugs and alcohol at my age or younger.
 
I used to smoke pot quite a bit back in 9th grade, but I've slowed down since because all it really did was burn a hole in my pocket and made me temporarily stupid. I like to do psychedelics such as mushrooms and acid when I can get a hold of them. I had a pretty magical experience when i took 4.5g of some really strong mushrooms. I've done E once, and would like to try it some more. I'm also really interested in ketamine, but I can't seem to find any. Occasionally, I will go on adderall binges which get kind of scary because I tend to lose a lot of weight on them, but adderall is too fun for me to care too much.
 
I've tried a bunch of stuff, like speed and heroin, but I wouldn't do them more than I have. I've used a lot of psychedelics, like shrooms and acid. I've done a couple of the weirder chemicals, like 2C-B and DMT. I've also smoked pot a couple times, but don't really like it.
 
m0nk - if you're going for hallucinogenics at a festival, mushrooms are by far the better bet, especially if you've not tried them before - and they are *everywhere* at glastonbury

yeah this is somewhat true, but not all kids that do drugs at a young age turn out bad. I had my first binge drink on the day I turned 15 and got so fucking drunk, it is now a memory that is keeping me from doing anything worse.
 
I'm a junior in college but I've never had any alcohol or other recreational drugs. I really just don't see the point, unless your life really sucks that bad. I hate the feeling of losing control of your mind, like when I am very tired or something. Instead of drugs, you should exercise or study. Anyway, I commend all of those who refuse to use drugs, you are making a positive life decision for yourself.
 
Says you. I think I've broadened my horizons and experienced things beyond the realm of normal human comprhension - you've not really lived until you've actually *been* a wall..
 
Cigarettes and Cigars are probably the only chemical that I will put into my body.

Live the clean life (sort of)
 
I had a bit of a problem with alcohol back when I was 15-16...I'd just go out with my mates on the streets and drink every night. When we couldn't get any drink, we'd just go to Asda and steal some. At first it was pretty much because there was nothing else to do but eventually it became the norm. I once went as far as to bring half a bottle of vodka into school but I didn't actually drink it till I was on my way home. Looking back on that I don't know if it was because I wanted to 'show off' to my schoolmates or because I was so dependant on it but either way it's not something I'm particularly proud of now because it seems like suck a dick move.

I guess I'm in a similar boat to Olie now because that period in my life goes a long way to restricting the amount I drink now. I don't regret it as such, but I'd hate to be that way again. I do still drink, but it's very rare...I can recall only eight occassions when I consumed alcohol in 2008 (and I hugely enjoyed all eight occassions!).

Only other drugs I've taken are corticosteroids (administered by my doctor when my knee was deteriorating) and anti-depressants.
