Drugs

Do you make use of any substance? Be it alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, etc ... what do you use and how do you feel about an external and internal problems? How do they help?

In Brazil we have low quality illegal marijuana and cocaine. I've used both for a brief period, much less Coke. Would be rolling one if I had access to 100% natural sativa because we'll who cares about having a brain that looks like a Swiss cheese if I don't even plan on using it anymore.

I'm a light alcooholist for half a year now. It quickly becomes more of a self destruction thing than anything else as your body builds up resistance. I absolutely hate getting drunk or wasted so I just get some quick endorphins with it and call it a day. I advise against it. I'm against it, I always valued alcoholic beverages more for their gastronomic value than the high anyways.

My advice: don't do it, but it's your body so suit yourself

I stole my mothers doxepin and take it sometimes when I have trouble sleeping or when I need that damn voice inside of me to shut up. I am not a fan of drugs though since my mother is a drug addict and I hate her to bits.

I have used illicit substances in the past but can honestly say while they were fun at the time, nothing good can come from them, same with alcohol.
That said I think it depends on the person, for me I turn in to a massive dickhead when under the influence (as opposed to a regular dickhead when sober), but I know that's not the same for others, so live and let live I say.
Be kind, hurt no one, leave the world a better place than you found it, not rocket science is it?

I drink alcohol almost every day but mostly gin tonics, few a night at max. Sometimes I have couple of months of not drinking at all because of the cost here... I use quite a bit of weed though. Have tried LSD and MDMA as I am interestedi n both, especially LSD but my medication blocked any effects for working. Well, the pleasant ones at that. For MDMA I just sweat a lot, my eyes were ridiculous looking and I chewed my teeth together for hours for some reason

That's a good question. I would like to know how many people in this forum actively do drugs. Apparently there is a link to poverty and mental health and drug abuse. So who knows how many of us try to escape reality from time to time. I'm one of these people. I tried out many different drugs in the past. LSD, Ketamine, MDMA, Weed, you name it. Mostly for experimental purposes, just tried to see if something would help me maybe. But none of these drugs really impressed so I'm pretty clean when it comes to most substances. I also stopped doing tobacco and alcohol completely. But the only drug that really gave me something was cocaine. I know it's a hard drug and it's harmful. But I'm already on the bottom of this whole thing called life, it's not like in can get any worse. So I'm doing some, from time to time. In moderate amounts of course. But it's my thing.

I live in an area of poverty with others on or below the poverty line. I can attest everyone living here is in the mental healthcare system and drinks or takes illegal drugs, marijuana at the very least (they're pretty open about both subjects and don't feel the common shame for it. In fact it seems to be almost a popularity contest who is worse! Really strange). They see it as completely acceptable to be inebriated every day and didn't grasp the concept of enjoying hobbies sober when I tried to bring it up. Or that it is escapism to live in a haze. I don't judge anyone for it whatsoever - in fact I understand the temptation being poor myself. I am the only person in a 15-20 mile radius that doesn't use except for smoking cigarettes. (I'm describing the sort of area where it is common to see hypodermic needles, liquor bottles and tin foil littering the ground. Full blown ghetto.) Point being, there's definitely a link. I feel sympathy for most.

I have experience with drugs and alcohol but it only made me feel worse, particularly with ongoing medical (physical) conditions. Haven't drank in almost 5 years, can't remember when I last smoked pot. Just doesn't help me escape and intensified my problems. If drugs had helped me cope, I would still be interested in them. Though I am curious about the MDMA use treatment for PTSD after trying X years ago. Felt incredible minus the crash. Alcohol was my vice and I was well on my way to getting cirrhosis

norco, benadryl (v high doses), wine every once in a while, and vaping but that's not really a drug. my mom's abusive (emotionally and verbally, but was physically when i was younger) and i still live with her and have to deal with her every day and i take high doses of benadryl often bc it makes me feel super dissociated.

 

[IronTusk]

I use alot

 

[any%]

Weed everyday, if I dont have it I drink myself to sleep. I stay away from MDMA, Ketamine, LSD & shrooms. Especially MDMA - I am a super addictive person (anything: food, sex, sugar, drugs, sports) and MDMA feels too damn good, that is why I want to stay away from it.

EDIT: fixed a typo

I used to have a problem with binge drinking, but only if the alcohol was already there. I never went out and bought it, I would just drink it all if it was on hand. Other than that, nothing else except Marijuana and Opioids, but I never abused them. I was prescribed them and only used them for pain.
