What I'm getting at is that it's better to have good stuff
in moderation every month or whatever than to be
permernantly off your face like some chav waster.

Quality, not quantity.

Well, for the past 3 years I've chosen abstinence. It
really does take quite some time for those chemicals to
leave your body, I'm suprised I don't suffer from 'wet
brain'. But after awhile you sort of "wake up", and
experience things on a different level...

oooh, this will be fun.

in high school, i couldnt find real drugs, so i took to
robotripping (dxm). at first it was bottles of robitussin,
then we found somewhere online which sold dxm powder, and
over the course of a summer we went through 30 g of the
stuff. that was about 750-1000 mg per person 2 or 3 times a
week. that stuff did nasty stuff to our brains - we've
discussed it since then (this was like 5 years ago... damn)
and agree we both have some mild cognitive impairments we
attribute to our abuse of the drug. eventually our supply
ran dry and after doing the powder chugging a whole bottle
of cough syrup wasn't as inviting, so we quit. ive since
done it maybe twice with some friends, and its a surreal
experience to be in a head-space you haven't explored in
years.

also in high school i was doing lots of perscription drugs -
adderall, xanax, vicodin, whatever i could get my hands on
but never had but of an abuse problem with it.

after that i started smoking a lot of weed, and really
haven't stopped since. for a while i had to quit - we were
getting a lot of shit weed with all sorts of paranoia and
stuff. when i went to college, i started dealing out of the
dorms and was smoking somewhere around 3 or 4 grams a day.
constant bong rips, i was high for probably a year straight.
ive cut down since, now an eight lasts me around a week.

also starting in college i got into all sorts of uppers. at
first it was ritalin and adderall, but second year when i
moved in with a few girls who were into heavier stuff i
started smoking meth. theres no feeling in the world like
being up for 36 hours with your friends, all tweaked out and
having what feel like the most meaningful conversations in
the world. of course when we weren't on the stuff our house
was a fucking mess - constant fighting and arguments. we
hated each other. when the friends who had been supply us
with the speed disappeared into their own heroin and cocaine
addictions we quite as a house and universally became more
amicable with each other

nowwww starting about a year ago, when i turned 21, i
started drinking a lot more. before it had mostly just been
when hanging out with friends in the evening and going to
parties, but gradually it got to the point where i was
drinking every day. then in the summer i started seeing this
girl who was also an alcoholic and we just dove down into
this wonderful world of alcoholic bliss. we were splitting
half a liter of whiskey a night, almost on a nightly basis.

then she left me, or i left her - im not even sure - after a
lot of really nasty fighting as well as some awful things
happening in her life. as is super typical, my drinking
became even heavier, and this time it was mostly alone. i
was drinking between a half and whole bottle of whisky an
night, blacking out weekly, just being alone in my own
misery. my low point was during a trip back home i blacked
out, couldnt find my way home 5 blocks from a house i spent
18 years living in, then had to scream for my dad because i
couldnt even find the stairs. then on my flight back, on a
layover in chicago-o'hare, i blacked out while drinking
double after double of scotch, and woke up on the plane
about 7 hours later. that was my low point.

since then managed to limit myself, altho i would in no way
say im drinking 'healthily.' i've had no scotch since then
(early january), have had a few bourbons, as well as a
bottle of gin i once bought. im only drinking beer now, but
still its between 5-8 bottles a night, but im also eating
better so im not getting nearly as drunk as i had been.

phew. so yeah, thats my story. ive managed to live through
it and ive learned a lot (im not even gonna begin to get
into me and psychedelics). im the cleanest ive been in years
right now, which is kind of ridiculous considering i still
drink and smoke weed and cigarettes pretty much every day
(actually i didnt drink two nights ago for the first time in
a few weeks), but im getting more control over myself and
hopefully once i graduate in about three months i hope to
figure

The only point left of my "trouble triangle" is booze. It's
my least favorite and I wish I could give it up completely
but it's so difficult. Easy to get, cheap, and not as
frowned upon by society as other substances; this all adds
up to me drinking almost every day. Binging isn't a
problem, it's that steady, warm buzz I am always chasing.
The line between work and leisure is crossed as soon as I
get a cold drink in my hands and I savor the taste of thee.
One six pack/half bottle a night is my abuse. It's so easy,
you see, no having to "go around the block" or search out
sneaky spaces to indulge behind, no danky smells involved,
only bags and bags of embarassing empties. I used to have
access to a "volcano" for herbs but 'las I can't afford one
myself, the dope smoke was the best. I wish I lived in a
trailer so I could get high every day!

But Oh, memories of drunk food excitement and interacting in
crowds with no worries, these booze things I will surely
miss. Other than that, you take my money, rot my insides,
and kill my imagination. I look forward to creating solid
shits. Last night ever, starting...

I was big into drinking, klonopin, and cocaine until I
overdosed 1 month before my 21st birthday and had to go
inpatient to rehab. Then when I got out I was sober for a
day and met some kid that was big into meth, so i started
smoking meth for about 2 months, and some how spent about
1500$ on the shit. hedphukkerr is right about feeling
amazing and being up for 36 hours.... I was up for almost 3
days once whilst on the shit... I couldn't eat a thing
either. Lost tons of weight and looked like a corpse.
Somehow I managed to get away from the kid and quit
everything cold turkey, but not without losing a few
friends...

So now I drink and smoke cigarettes and am prescribed to
clonazepam and do the occasional line if i'm out and at the
bar, but I hate coke if i'm not drunk.
I don't know why i even bother except that i'm drunk and
have poor judgement.

As for heroine, the city i live in , gloucester, is the
heroin capital of the world since i live on a port/island.
we've got methadone clinics for the x-junkies every 20 miles
around here. I've never tried it and never will.

where i live everyone smokes weed. everyone drinks, too. i
grew up smoking the shit, pretty much every day since i was
15-16. i tried drinking for a bit, but luckily i got
alcohol poisoning when i was 17. i thought i was going to
die and at the time i was hoping i would. ever since then i
have been a very occasional drinker and i never drink more
than 2 drinks. actually a week ago i told all my friends
that i'm done with the booze completely and i've kept to
that without much effort.

my weed smoking has been drastically reduced over the last 2
years and i'll go for weeks or months without ever touching
it. when i do smoke it only takes a puff of the good stuff
to get me totally fucking high. it's just like someone
mentioned earlier. you get all happy and life is great and
all, but then you come down and all you have are fuzzy
memories. plus, half the time i get all introspective and
paranoid. self-critical, if you will, and i don't need that
shit.

i first took mushrooms when i was 15 years old, on the
beach, with all of my good friends. i sat on a sand ledge
with my buddy jasper, waiting for them to kick in, watching
the sun slowly sink into the ocean. as that last ray of
orange light dissapeared i could see it traveling across the
ocean towards me, like a colorful blast wave, and when it
hit me it was like i could feel the light washing over me
and it was a new and beautiful sensation. then things
dimmed and the humming in my ears subsided and i looked over
at my friend and we both burst into laughter and i fell off
the two foot ledge and so did he and we laughed some more,
then ran back to the camp to jump and spin and dance and
laugh with the others.

colors and shapes seemed to breath in and out, expanding and
contracting. the moonless sky above was star-strewn black
lake that rippled of its own accord.

then the youngest of us slipped into his own mind and
started jabbering on about complete nonsense. words left
his mouth, not in a thread, but in disconnected clumps.

his eyes were almost purely pupil and they darted back and
forth wildly as he rambled on like a drunken freestyle
rapper. then he took off at a full run down the beach and
we all stood there, at a loss. the night was black and we
had but one dim flashlight that died a few minutes into our
search. finally we heard him up in the driftwood piles. he
was lying on his side, arms and legs at decidedly awkward
angles, while he howled like a coyote and sobbed.

we gathered around and i could feel the fear growing in us
all. we pulled him upright and set him on a big log and he
started to vomit all over his own shoes. he went on and on
till there was nothing left in him and then he was done,
empty. we gave him water to drink and he did. then, after
many deep breaths, he got up and without a word started
making his way back to camp.

i felt hugely relieved, as there had earlier been frantic
discussions of called parents and brightly lit hospitals and
other such terrifying thoughts, and it seemed we had avoided
such scenarios.

i think the whole ordeal sobered us up a bit and when we got
back to camp we all ate and drank of the salty and sweet
junkfoods as teenagers will and that sobered us up even
more.

a few of my friends would ingest many of the mushrooms in
years to come and they all would be forever changed as a
result. i, however, wouldn't eat them again until just last
year, having been profoundly affected by my first
experience.

twice i have eaten them in the last 12 months and both times
have been incredibly euphoric and memorable experiences. i
like being able to get that high and then being able to
remember much of it in detail, so i will possibly take them
again this summer. probably while camping up one of the
rivers in the area, but i might not, too. it sorta goes
against my recent body as temple philosophy, so we'll see.


never did any but those 3 drugs and the grits, which i'm
still addicted to after 5 years without so much as a single
drag.

I've been largely sober for some six years, so much so that
my friends will tease me about it.

But yea, I've been clear ever since a few years ago when I
unwittingly got a hold of some bad and impure hash (I mean
total shit, perhaps literally), that really sent me flying
on a crash course, both mentally and physically: I vomited
and all that fun stuff... And like someone said, it is at
these moments that you realize how much saner it would be to
have a regulating body that would ensure quality control and
drive this kind of nasty shit off the market... But anyway,
I have no regrets, except trusting the wrong people. Hash by
itself can be wonderful, but I would avoid it when you never
know where it's coming from (the same reason I haven't done
ecstasy).

I've never been keen on alcohol, and of all the drugs I've
tried, it's certainly the one that is the most destructive.
Too bad that it has the status that it has as this socially
sanctioned weekend lubricant. Or maybe others have better
experiences with it than I do, but I see it as a shallow
drug.

I've done LSA (morning glory seeds) and Salvia, both of
which experiences were highly informative, even though I
chickened out and never experienced recommended doses. The
psychedelic side of things I except to explore more when I
have the proper set and setting for it.

I think weed can not only be harmless but really good for
you (socially, artistically, psychologically) - especially
when homegrown or whatever, it's a beautiful thing to have.
But yea, I've experimented with this soberness thing for
some years now, and I find it has its good sides and bad
sides.

Many effects of drugs can be replicated without any chemical
stimulants, but certainly not all.

i have all but quit drugs now after 16 years of
recklessness, i enjoy the odd one or two joints once
week...which is a fuck load better than over an 8th a day of
skunk, a 8th or more of coke a week and 2 seroxat tablets a
day (as was my quota for the last 7 years).

now if i can just quit the booze...
