Acid, pot, peyote, blow? What drugs did you experiment with in your youth?

It struck me that many of you were the right age to try some of these drugs, so feel free to tell us about your tripping. I guarantee that your story will be respected by most members of this forum, but I can't guarantee the responses of all...
 

April Fools Day was yesterday, so don't try and kid us today...
 

Never ... Never....No drugs and never even tried a cigarette! I have asked people who smoke if they taste any better than they smell.
I even hate taking prescribed "drugs" for BP
 
Hmm, do I sense some denial going on here? Open up and fess up, you know that you need to get this off your chest, and this is a warm, accepting place to do it. Plus, you can let some of us to enjoy your experiences vicariously...
 
Ahh, now we are getting somewhere. But could you share what your experiences were while indulging in your drug(s) of choice?
 
Acid was not good or bad, it made the sidewalk tilt, blow turned me into a zombie and hurt my nose but pot has endured the test of time.

Don't forget to include tobacco. Nicotine is far more addictive than heroin, and often more lethal.

Nicotine is the most addictive drug in America, although it is not the toughest one to quit. That award goes to Heroin.
 
Up until the age of 27... ZERO.. So that was late 70's. Then I tried pot a few times... Hash once.. That's it. Nothing in 30+ years.. except alcohol.

(ps... not even sure what Hash is.. but I was at a party with a huge bong in the center of the room.. and everyone was taking hits and drinking champagne. I remember it was a really upscale crowd too.. All professional people.. Docs, Dentists and a few execs. Not a typical stoner crowd)
 
Thanks, QS, that's the honesty we are looking for, and, Shalimar, you are hinting at a very compelling tale. Don't be a tease...
 
Many seniors become addicts unknowingly from using pain killers prescribed by their doctor. This can happen in a short amount of time. I always tell people that I know and are taking the popular pain killers not to go by the directions on the bottle, but to only use them when needed and then to stop as soon as they no longer need them. I am counselling a 78 year old gentleman now that has become addicted from using Oxycontin. He just can't stop, so I am recommending him to go to rehab and be detoxed. I have to get him into to see one of our Addictionologists and they can have him admitted. I hope to be able to do that today. Medicare will pay for Substance Abuse detoxing.

I had a friend that broke his ankle not too long ago. He knew that I counseled addicts and he gave me a call. He said that he had to have a cast put on his foot and half way up his leg, so his ankle would heal properly. Then, he said that his doctor gave him 5 mgs. of Percocet w/500 mgs. of Acetaminophen. He was to take two pills every 6 hours. I told him to take one pill and if in an hour he still needed the second pill to take it. If he goes past the hour, then wait until it is time to take the next dose. I also told him that if he didn't need to take any pills, not to, or maybe try Advil. The sooner you can stop the better.

These opiates are highly addictive and the added acetaminophen doesn't help either. The Poppy, which is where opium and morphine come from, is a beautiful flower, but oh so dangerous and has created a ton of misery for so many that have become hooked.
