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

Don't drug charges only cover possession ? I don't think that you can be arrested and prosecuted if you tell someone you once tried a drug.. I think they have to catch you with the drug in your pocket or car..

I'm not so sure about that, especially with all the flexible ways the law can be applied these days. If I were to walk into the local FBI office and tell them that I'm the Zodiac Killer, they would have me cooling my heels in the hoosegow in a New York minute. Same if I told them I had used pot years ago, I think - legally it's an admission of guilt to a felony charge.

Of course I'm not a lawyer - I just portray one in my bathroom.

Okay, now I've got sugar on the brain..... a brownie topped with Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra ice cream and chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Better than sex!

I'll take your word for it but I have grave reservations about it.

Cookie, my ' bad' comment ref. sex, not drugs, but you are correct. It wasn't all peace and plastic flowers. I lost a girlfriend to suicide, courtesy of the effects of MDA.

Got it, Shalimar, didn't mean to bring anyone down ...... I guess I'm thinking of the 'sex drugs and rock & roll' stereotype - which was all too true, in my experience.

Cookie, no worries. Hopefully we can enjoy the positive memories we have of that time without romanticizing it all out of proportion.

Good for you seeing that and glad you have the positive memories to look back on, Shalimar. :rose:
 
I only smoked pot a few times-actually the first time I smoked,it was hash. Brought some home and hubby freaked out,we were brand newly married,I was still in high school and he was very much a straight arrow. But after his military duties were over,he got to like pot a lot. I just never much cared for it and it did make me paranoid. I remember smoking one night when the kids were little and we had a fire burning in the fireplace. It was sparking and a couple of small embers flew out and landed on the carpet. I sat there watching them and thought to myself "I should get up and step on them so a fire doesn`t start during the night." I was too stoned to actually do it though. That`s when I decided that being a parent and getting stoned was not a good mix and didn`t do it again. Never did get into the coke or anything else that was so prevalent in the 80s. Smoked cigarettes like a fiend though-5 packs a day til I quit cold turkey when I was 38. Now I drink red wine :)
 
Speaking of pot brownies....my niece is currently battling a rare form of cancer. Went in for what was to be an extremely extensive surgery last week but they opened her up and immediately closed her back up-tumors were too extensive to operate. She told me a friend is bringing her brownies on Saturday to see if that helps with pain control. She is currently on powerful narcotics and hates being on those.

Yes, I was referring more to sex. I knew of a girl in high school who had a bad trip on acid and ended up in a mental institution, never saw her again. Scared me away from acid which I most likely would have given a try.

Pot only made me paranoid when out in public, usually going for munchies. Otherwise, I was relaxed but chatty.

Good for you on quitting smoking! I smoked 1 1/2 to 2 packs a day when I quit - 22 years ago.
 
Shalimar said:
Quitting cold turkey, after smoking five packs a day! Wow! Mrs. Robinson, that is impressive.

I did that after watching Yul Brynner being asked,in an interview,what he would change about his life,if he could. He replied "the cigarettes." He was dying of cancr at the time. I just said "That`s it-no more." Not that it was easy-even today,25 years later,I could still be tempted. But I know if I even have one......

How sad. Hope the brownie and its ingredients help her.

After 22 years I still think how nice it would be to have one. But I know I never can. I was motivated by the fact that breathing was becoming far too much work and I didn't find the prospect of emphysema very appealing.

Oh, I was so mistaken - I thought you were talking about having sex while ON drugs, like doing acid, pot, drinking wine and cocaine and having sex, seeing this thread is about those things. I guess I need to read more carefully. damn! LOL
 
I LOVE to smoke.... seriously... I love it.. BUT I don't smoke nor have I touched a cigarette in over 20 years.. I just know if I picked one up, I'd be back to a pack a day in no time. Sometimes I can be sitting at a red light and the guy in the car next to me is smoking... I get a whiff of it and breathe in real hard.. Love it.

Well, only did pot so sometimes it was pot + sex. Or sex + alcohol.

Sometimes it smells good when someone lights up, but I'm glad that most of the time I think it stinks. When I'm drinking a beer I sometimes think how good a cigarette would taste with it. I've only been seriously tempted once and that 5 years after I quit - broke up with long term boyfriend, mom died, co-worker stabbed me in the back, all in a short amount of time.

Last cigarette was Jan. 31, 1993.
 
ha ha ha, AS , I was pretty much joking, no I didn't mean that it would be sex and all of the above, LOL, although that is not completely unheard of either. I think were all good here. LOL

LOL! I'm sure there are some who've done them all at the same time!! I've known some very wild people.
 
Man, now I want a cigarette and um. well, I'm definitely going to refrain from the cigarettes. What's funny is the past few days, I've been smelling them and I don't smoke, I'm wondering if someone in my building is smoking so much it's permeating thought the building and makings it's way into my apt. I just can't figure it out.
 
April, I think people that used to smoke are very sensitive about the smell of cigarettes...I know I can smell them a mile away.

As for the other stuff, I've never done drugs or pot, only cigarettes and thank goodness that is i the past.
