Poll question: Drug you enjoyed way too much to be considered safe
That is, a drug where you tried it, loved it and knew this stuff could ruin your life if you kept at it.

1. Caffeine.
About half way through my first year at university I discovered that I couldn't sleep at all, but was perpetually tired...I tried various sleeping pills things (all over the counter stuff), but none really worked, but then I found that if I cut back on the coffee all was well.

I now drink one (very strong) black coffee with breakfast and a strongish one with lunch and all is well.

Very moderate and boring I know, but there we are.

2. Percocets
Like them way to much. With the injuries I've had over the last two years I could get them too easily.

3. All my friends quit doing coke at the same time
When Len Bias died. Up until then, it was considered "safe", but after that, a lot of people wised up.

4. Vicoden: It's not just for breakfast anymore.
SHATTERED my right leg about 7 years ago. Vic's were my buddies. I couldn't SLEEP because getting comfortable with 3 plates, 24 screws and 100 staples in your leg is not comfortable.

Kept me VERY comfortable, and I was VERY careful with the dosages, weaning back.

But they were nice. I didn't have a single migraine while I was taking them.

5. Mushrooms
Some of the most pleasant experiences I ever had were on mushrooms; however, that's one of those things where I could just tell that doing that sort of thing everyday and all the time would quickly turn my brain into jelly -- a very warm, fuzzy, sweet marmalade-y sort of substance, but jelly nevertheless.

8. Mescaline is pretty neat, and powerful
Edited on Wed Jun-28-06 02:06 PM by bamacrat
Fun, but any drug that lasts for six hours or more probably isn't very safe to do alot.

9. Opium, Vicodin, hydrocodone cough syrup...
opiates in general, really (except for codeine, which was just too weak to bother with). Never cared much for cocaine (wears off too quickly, and $60-80 a gramme not worth it for what you get out of it, not to mention the unpleasant sensations when you crash), amphetamines (made my heart feel like it was going to explode), or alcohol.

12. Well, I thought it would be rude to say NO to cocaine....
When it was offered--several times, many years ago. However, there was no way it would have fit into my entertainment budget. And I didn't feel like "falling in love" with a dealer.

I understand how coke can be a big problem for people with lots of money--although the "lots of money" can disappear pretty quickly.

17. Cocaine.
Mostly because I used to sell it. It was just around all the time in large amounts. It would be nothing for my partner, a couple of strippers and myself to go through an ounce in a night. Crazy days. Had no problem putting it down though, I was never addicted.

23. I see
a lot of votes for coke...I voted for meth, and the main reason why..on meth, the high lasted a lot longer, than coke, for me at least. With coke, shit i was snorting every half an hour...with meth, shit...toke a few hits, and whamo...party time, and it last for quite some time, plus it was a lot cheaper than coke....if i had to do another drug again, it would be acid/mushrooms, lots of good memories with those....

24. Meth.
It's pretty sad really. When I smoked it, I would get violently ill, projectile vomiting and all. But I kept smoking it because other than the nausea and vomiting, it made me feel pretty awesome. Then instead of smoking it, I snorted it, and somehow that didn't make me violently ill. And then I figured, what the hell is wrong with me. I'm watching this drug ruin my friend's life, it turned my uncle schizophrenic, and now I'm snorting it so that I can better enjoy it? Fuck that.

We haven't had it in our home since. Which is good, because we had been partying every weekend. And I was constantly paranoid. Every time I heard a noise in the hallway I just knew it was the cops this time, I just knew our neighbors had finally realized we had been awake for however long and that chemical smell in the hall wasn't normal.

I think the one thing that made me really decide I never wnated the shit in my home again, was when a friend of mine dropped like $20 worth on my carpet... and then got on her hands and knees and started picking it out of my carpet... along with lint and who knows what else considering at that point our carpet was rarely vacuumed. Seeing that desperation over such a minor amount of the shit.... really turned me off.

Anywho. We have different friends and a different life now. :)

25. LSD
Was one trippy Hippie Chick back in the early '70s. Inside of three years dropped acid about 200 times. And then one day, decided it wasn't worth it, and ditched it, and all other hallucinogens, for good. Never went back to the stuff. Never had a flashback.



Ended tripping about the same time I ended living in my VW camper after three years. Glad I chose to change my life.
