[GingerV]

Never felt the need, I guess. And the more I learn about the way the brain works, the less I want to tinker around with mine ;).

[darogle]

Viagra is the closest thing to a recreational drug I've ever used. LOL

[Irish]

fun_lovin_bitch---I may be showing my ignorance,but aren't
Marijuana & Cannabis the same thing?I'm not trying to be a smart-ass,I really don't know!
nikki1979---You say that you just drink now & then.As a recovering Alcoholic(11yrs10 1/2mo).I can tell you that alcohol is a
drug.It's just legal.
As far as taking drugs,I won't commit,but let's just say that I've
been in the motorcycle lifestyle,most of my life.I have run & worked in many shops,so I have been around drugs for years!

Marijuana is from canabis sativa. Same thing, I believe.

Although I do occasionally drink alcohol, I will never ever try illegal drugs. I have only ever smoked a handful of cigarettes in my life, and that wasn't until I was 23. It was for a play I was doing, and I didn't allow them to teach me to inhale.

My mother always said: 'If you feel the need to do drugs, then you're not doing sex right'.

[Aqua]

Just call me Captain Straightedge... as far as drugs are concerned anyway... ;) I even avoid prescription painkillers when I'm injured.

I also wanted to add a little to what Irish said... alcohol is a drug, and a legal one, but out of the drugs listed above (except viagra, it's in a different class) it is the only one that can be taken without intending to or getting high. It can certainly be used to do so, but having a glass of wine with a nice dinner doesn't mean you're getting drunk.

[Loulabelle]

Aqua, why is recently that every single thing you say at Pixies is so wise, and so right on that I just wish I was in your av, catching that spunk in my mouth..... ;)

WATER!! Water, folks... what were you all thinking... :p

[Sharni]

Marijuana/Cannabis for 2 years...every day...bongs and joints

Got the horrors on some of it one night and never touched it since

I have got a memory problem now...which i'm sure comes from smoking that *L*

[lakritze]

I have only used marijuna and cannabis {in all of it's forms} I don't use it now,but never saw a problem with it.Hope to see it legal one day.I am a very light drinker. Mostly it's cigarettes and coffee these days.

...uhh...what were we talking about?

Seriously, I've been there on & off for over 30 years, & no memory probs till recently...& I had quit smoking weed, I blame it on all the pain meds I've been on...

Sorry, Sharni, I think you just have CRS...getting older & raising kids will do that to ya, believe me, I know...

[denny]

Aah, misguided youth! I admit I was a recreational user of pot, LSD, mescaline, PCP, speed, reds, and once some opium. Now the drugs I take have nothing to do with recreation! How times change.

[Mercury_Maniac]

the only thing that i've touched was alcohol

and thats all i plan on touching

i know so many people that do drugs and they just have no control over them, its pathetic

I've had the memory problem from 18 Scotz......way before i had kids *LOL*

Top quality stuff too....i never had to pay for it...so i pretty much smoked it like cigarettes *LOL*

And i'll still stand by my original "which i'm sure comes from smoking that

Aqua I have to disagree if you only have one drink you still are drinking it for the effect. weather it having a couple to melo out or several and get full blowen buzz(aka getting drunk, wasted, lit up, trashed, or ripped) don't kid yourself it is effecting you. By the way there are more poeple addicted to alcohol in this country then any others on the list the only drug that might have more addicts would be caffein.

[Booger]

I've smoked some Marijuana or Cannabis yes they are the same .

[nikki1979]

i honestly dont think one glass of wine w dinner is a prob, and its not for the affect unles u have a REAL low tolerance, one glass has no affect on me but tastes real good w certian food. but thats just my own opinion

nikki

[Irish]

I had to go to,---? many hours of STATE MANDATED Alcoholics
Anomonous meetings & counseling & if you have "any" amount of
alcohol,it is considered that you are under the influence!Not Drunk but under the influence.People may disagree,but I'm just
telling you what they teach you! Irish
P.S.After each meeting or counseling session,you have to have a
paper signed by whoevers in charge.This paper must be turned in,to show that you attended.

[katekate42]

I like to go out for the occasional beer (esp. when staying in Colorado- all those yummy microbrews). I tried marijuana one time ( on my 21st birthday) and after having a few drinks and giving that a go I was SOOOOOO sick. Needless to say, I'll NEVER try that again! At least it was free...

By the way, Loula, your Mom sounds like a hoot :)

[Vurginne]

Growing up as a teen I saw all my friends expirement with drinking and smoking and then into my college years drugs became part of the picture. I on the other hand just didn't take any interest. I can't stand cigarettes or cigars and the smells they emit. I don't like the taste of any alcohol (with the exception of wine and brandy used in dishes and desserts) and I can't fathom doing drugs. Like GingerV, the more I learned about my brain and my body the less appealing drugs became.

So much for peer pressure heh!

Yes, she is rather....and as I've said elsewhere here, that advice stopped me from trying drugs, and also stopped me from trying sex until I knew I was emotionally mature and uninhibited enough to do it properly!

[fun_lovin_bitch]

irish - yep, you are showing your ignorance (joke!)

Marijouana (better known as Pot) and Cannabis are completely different in the sense that they have different effects, the price is much different (Cannabis is rediculously expensive) and that they are not the same class drug, so you cannot be given as long a sentance in court for doing the two different drugs.

Not according to everything I have found.

Marijuana & Cannabis are the same *LOL*

Hashish, which is the product of Marijuana that i used mostly is the more expensive and more 'illegal' (though both are here)

wow, you sure showed me

Trust me Boog... if I'm having a glass of wine with dinner, I am not doing it for effect. The only thing that might mellow me out is if there is candlelight and soft music. I have never been drunk, nor buzzed, nor even a little tipsy.

Drunk,buzzed,nor even a little tipsy.is Not,not under the influence,
it is denial!I would have said the same thing a few yrs ago.
Irish
P.S.Funny,how you look at things differently,after you have been there & studied upon it.

[Lilith]

Irish and Booger,
What you have to understand is that even though some people have one drink and that means they need to then have another, there are some people, like Aqua, who have one glass at a nice dinner and sip on it all night. While that is not necessarily your experience you should not presume it not to be someone else's.

[Irish]

Lilith---While I'm a recovering Alcoholic,I,personally,was never a
person that HAD to have another.I had another because,I liked it & wanted to.I just said that I learned thru studying that if you have one,you are considered by the law,to be under the influence.I don't necessarily,agree with it but that's the way that the law,looks at it.I,personally,have nothing against drinking alcohol.I just know that I shouldn't.I won't even have one,
because I like it TOO much & it will just start the cycle over. Irish

[Lilith]

And I applaud you for every sober day ((hugs))!

[WildIrish]

I've smoked marijuana a few times in college, and a few times since. The most recent time was about three or four years ago (the dorito incident). I definately smoked with the intent of feeling it, and I did. By the time we had finished the bag, the novelty had worn off and we pretty much figured we had our fun.

As for beer, wine or sangria. If I have a six-pack in the fridge, it'll last all summer. Scotch, on the other hand, goes well with a movie on Friday night. Do I know it's a drug? Yes. Do I need it? No, there's plenty of times when I'll say "Damn...what a day! I need a scotch!" and go home & drink tea. A few times a year we get looped and stumble upstairs to screw (or try), and usually end up regretting it the next morning. No, ya big sillies...not the screwing!

[Irish]

WI---Believe it or not,I still have a baggie,with 1/2 of a 1/4 oz of pot in it.It must have been in the drawer for 15yrs.Where I worked,the secretary/bookkeeper was a dealer.I used to get 1/4lb,from her for $100/120.I would clean it & bag it,& I have my own scales.My buddy,worked(?)at the Ports. Navy Yard.I would
give him 2 baggies.He would sell them at the Yard for $30/40 apiece(1/4 oz bags)That was $60/80.We each took a bag apiece,
for ourselves.That came out to about $20 a 1/4 oz,for ourselves!
Not a bad price for GOOD stuff! Irish
P.S.I'm one of those people that if it's there,I won't touch it.If it's
all gone,I get nervous!Stupid,but after ALL these yrs,I know me.

[lilsquirt]

I've smoked pot and hash since I was in my late teens, the only thing negative is that its made me have the munchies and therefore gain weight, my memory is fine, I am able to do a full days work the day after smoking up the night before, it doesn't make me sick like alcohol does. I don't drink alcohol at all, I don't like the way I become or feel after drinking and discovered early on that it just wasn't for me.

Pot mellows me out, relaxes me and I only smoke it in the evening when all my work is done, because after I've puffed the only thing I want to do is have sex.

Lilith I never ment to imply in any way that Aqua haveing a glass of wine with dinner ment he had a problem. Was just stating the fact that one glass dose have an effect (one glass of wine, beer or shot of Liquer ) will raise your blood alcohol level to .02% depending on weight and a few other things. weather he feels this or not it dose effect him.

[Lilith]

True enough! :)

[Irish]

I just want people,that I care about,not to make the same mistakes,that I did.Like my wife once said,when discussing,many
of the same things."They won't believe you!People will only learn when they go thru the same things themselves." Irish
P.S.just my $.02.

[BlueSwede]

I'm probably one of the very few people "from the 60s" who has never tried any kind of drugs, including pot. I have weird reactions to a lot of legal medications and figured it would be just my luck to have some bizarre reaction to illegal ones, too. I don't smoke cigarettes either. I like the taste of some alcoholic beverages but have never liked the way even just a sip or two makes me feel, so I've never really drunk alcohol either. Only once did I ever drink enough to get drunk, but I did it on purpose. I was in so much emotional pain that I decided it was better to put myself out of my misery by drinking a bottle of wine than to do something more serious w/lasting consequences.

[dicksbro]

I checked "NO" but that's a slight fib. I had medications with codeine which is a morphine derivative that is found in opium, but, it's true I've never any illegal drugs.

[Wicked Wanda]

My drug of choice is alcohol. Wine, mostly, and I do love fruity rum drinks, Funerals, Deaths, Hurricanes, and even sometimes Irish coffee.
I also have a passion for brandy, alone, warm.
In nursing school I did tentatively try marijuana, with hysterically funny results.
I am not very inhibited to begin with and those few occasions were a bit of a social scandal.

I have no interest in anyway way in trying anything else.

[slowdive]

I've used marijuana fairly regularly for years, and I've never really had a problem with it. Sure, it's not advisable to smoke up if you're intending to get anything productive done, but as one other poster put it, at the end of a day to relax? I don't see a problem. And it's never been addictive to me...I've gone long gaps in time without it if I can't justify the expense to myself, and it doesn't really bother me much at all.

I've also had some shrooms on a number of occasions, and that was a fun, positive experience, but it's been years. I wouldn't completely object to it again, given the right circumstances. In both cases, you're talking about substances of nature as far as I'm concerned...it's the artificial chemicals like LSD and ecstasy and whatnot that I have a major aversion to. Simply put, you don't know what you're getting, and that's a freaky prospect.

As far as drinking goes though, I'd give up many things before I'd give up the joy of supping a pint with good friends on a patio in the summertime. You can't beat it!

[Mackenzie]

Ok....well I have experimented with EVERYTHING.....I started smoking pot at parties when I was about 15, when I was 17 I started smoking daily and did until I was 21. I've done coke a handful of times and the same with extasy. I used to follow Phish (the band) around the country when I was younger....at that time I did a lot of experimenting with acid and mushrooms. I loved all of it and I had a GREAT time. Luckily for me I do NOT have an addictive personality. I watched many of my friends screw up with addictions and almost kill themselves. So I stopped messing around with it. I countinued smoking pot for a while.
I'm 22 now and in the last year I've smoked pot maybe 4 times. Which is REALLY good considering I did smoke all day everyday!
And for a while I ate Loratabs everyday. Once you start eating them everyday...you can't sleep with out them so it's hard to stop.
But I did.

Now, I drink occaisionally with friends and have a beer or a glass of wine from time to time with dinner. And if I'm with old friends (from my party days) I might smoke a little pot....but my tolerence for pot is gone and I'm a complete dork after I smoke it..so I try to resist.:D

If holding onto a bag of weed for the rest of your life keeps you from ever smoking then who's to argue with that kind of success?

[BrokenArrow]

I've partied like a rock star, stayed away from crack and heroin, but their are some strong hallucigenics that are still on my list.

No more though, my body can;t take it. Only so often will I grab that proverbial guitar.

[Rick Forbes]

I have struggled with addiction in my life, and delivery from that horrible bondage is one of the greatest gifts life has ever bestowed upon me.

I would react with the highest possible skepticism to claims that chemical intoxication is, in the long term, an enhancement to our experience of the gift of human sexuality. But I have no intererest whatsoever in telling anybody how they should live their lives. I have mismanaged my own life so badly at points that I am simply not qualified to oversee others'.

[Grumble]

I experimented with smoking in my early teenage years and didn't like it and have not smoked since.

Joining the services at 16 where drinking was considered manly I over indulged a lot till my early 20's then cut back. I have a wine with my evening meal and a rum and diet coke or a beer regularly.

I never get drunk or even tipsy, I enjoy alcohol in moderation.

I have never tried illegal drugs and never will. I have always had that strong conviction, even as a young teenager.
Was offerred drugs at various times and always refused.

[LarryL]

Have I ever taken drugs? Hummm. I think I had a drug or two, now and then for a couple of years between about 1967 and 1988.

Have I ever taken drugs? Duh. Have I stopped? Ya, I have been clean for sixteen years, since 1988.

Your curiosity grows out of a desire to...?

[connor]

Tried a couple and walked away less than impressed and feeling they were over rated. Sex is a good enough drug for me.

[quisath]

I've tried it but I never inhaled or ingested it. Yeahhh right.

I was a Child of the Fifties and Sixties ................. You tell me if I got HIGH!
