What got YOU interested in drugs?

my interest in altered states began in grade 5. i dislocated my arm and was given alot of laughing gas as the men were using all their force to put my bone back into place. i remember the day well. i actually had an out of body experience. i remember my perspective falling out of my brain and down onto the floor, i was looking up at the bed and the doctors, however my arm was stuck back up on the bed, and the devil was pulling me down. it was so intriging to me, being grade 5 i told all my relatives and grandparents about my crazy "trip". grade 6 i started smoking, and even i remember some kid stealing a marijuana leaf from his moms plant and brang it to school...

how did you become intrigued or interested in altered states?

 

I started at the ripe age of 12. I was interested in every drug, especially herion for some reason (don't ask me, I still don't understand). I started smokin reefer when I was 13, I just loved getting high...drugs never used to be an escape for me, only when I got older and started to have real problems. I said I would never do another drug until I tried dust when I was 15 and that one bought me a ticket on the drug train, since then I've just enjoyed the experience, I find it spiritual, educating and fun. Drugs are my weakness, oohwell...and sex.

 

I got into altered mind states when I was 14, I used mushrooms, then onto DXM, DPH, Esctacy, Cocaine, and realized that drugs like 2C-B and LSD, DOx, and such were way more interactive and insightful.. i quite doing drugs and scarcely smoke weed.. lol

yet i quite doing drugs recently.. 44 days no drugs.. smoked pot once.. i dunno lifes better off drugs.. but i know what i used to say... "realitys for people who cant handle drugs!!" haha

 

My first panic attack, the depression that followed, and ideas about higher consciousness.

 

When i was really little and i used to spin around and then stop becuase i loved the feeling afterward just progressed into alcohal that then went into weed that then turned into physcadelics

 

peter same with me cept they gave me morphine when i dislocated my arm in fifth grade i think, it definitly got me smacked though lol i remember being able to watch myself walk like in 3rd person it was crazy

 

It started off with me and a friend smoking weed in 8th grade.

 

8th grade a cop came into my life issues class to talk about marijuana and of course later that day i decided the cop made me wanna try it so i bought a gram off this kid..ill never forget that cop...

 

DARE in 5th grade is what originally got me interested in drugs, but I never tried anything until I was 15, or so......been fukt up ever since:spliff:

 

My Dad being a cop was what got me interested.....but all I ever did was weed....and tried some meth...liked it way too much , so i left it alone.

 

im still young and all but yea i started to be interested bout a year ago smoked weed from my dads stash (bout 6 months ago and keeping it up) but still havent manged to find a way to buy it but shure i will eventually...and i have yet to steal enough to get high

 

That's because stolen weed won't get you high, because Mary Jane doesn't respect anyone who would steal her, especially from a family member.

 

well i still love her but still no dealers i know round here maybe some at school but ill find a way to get some very soon

 

hearing what it was like on drugs was what made me start i guess.

 

yeah stealing weed from a family member isnt cool. Although the weed i stole from my dad got me stonedddd. I guess its ok to steal it from them if they steal your weed or like beat you...

 

stole 2000 dollars out of my saveings:lol: but guess it was to a cool cause and im just passing time till the morning glories show up or i get my sally D plant

 

yea i guess i started around 6th grade with just pot then moved onto bigger and better things..ive always wanted to see what my mind can really do, as i experiment with different drugs..always wanted to see shit ive never seen or could never see in a sober perspective..

 

haha i was like 11 and i wanted to be cool like my older brother and smoke cigs, so i went in his pack when he was sleeping with my friend josh who was 12, we took what we thought was cigs but were actually perfectly rolled joints...and we smoked one of them and didnt get a high or anything...then like few hours later we smoked the other joint and boy was that a great time lol so i have been smokin weed for like 8 years. about 2 years ago is when i started taking mushrooms and perks stuff like.

 

Growing up very religous, I was always intrigued by the idea of transformative states of mind. What was it like when these old dudes got revelation, etc. I found similarites between these old mystical sorts of the bible, and the states of mind I'd heard and imagined that they might be similar. But, I was also scared of it all, I had been given the idea that the use of drugs might allow you to become possessed, etc. Classic fundamentalist upbringing bullshit.

I first seperated from religion, moved a thousand miles away from home while taking some time off college to work as an intern. I had tons of money, lots of new friends, and too much time on my hands. Became an alcoholic (recovered) but still had a "block" on "real" (illegal) drugs. My roommate there was an extremely experienced psychnaut and he really talked them all up.

I decided that I needed to know, so he and I spent a saturday driving from headshop to headshop to see what kind of legal highs we could find. We ended up with 70 cartridges of nitrous and an ounce of dry sally + a gram of 10x sally. I was extremely anxious but made myself do it. Sally first. It was kinda a crapy thing to start with. I dig sally, but I found that after far more experimentation that it can be a lot more intense than the illegal stuff out there.

Shortly after, I was partying on the weekend at some frat house in PA with my other roommate, and he took me up to smoke some pot. And, at that point I was officially sold.

I do drugs to explore and understand my world. I've done quit a few things now, and though I dabble in everything. Psychadelic states are my calling. I've come to many profound realization about conciousness, life, etc. And at this point, I believe (and hope) that it has made me a better person. More open-minded, understanding, and forgiving. The best part is I know that if I stopped using tomorrow, I'd still have those things, so it's hard for me to imagine regretting any of it.

I won't do these things forever, maybe pot, but I think the psychadelic experience has helped me become the type of person I want to be.

 

This is MY story

I first got drunk as an experiment. I was talking to a friend of mine who i liked to discuss the many matters of the universe with. we got onto alcohol and realised I hadnt really got drunk before (apparently i had when a child but i guess kids dont have the right sorta introspect to realise when inebriated) at any rate, we had been learning about it at school, this is like start of grade 9 or something. one alcoholic drink was 30 ml. so 100 ml should get me drunk. 100 ml, i thought? thats nothing! (vodka btw). i went down to the kitchen, opened the freezer, poured a small glass and went to my room. my parents were watchin tv and asked wassup and i said i was fetchin a glass of water.

after a few minutes i started to feel pretty cool. delayed sorta. i was reporting the effects like it was an experiment. then i had to go to the bathroom and my house has a lot of stairs. i jumped down teh first flight. WOW! that was amazing! i jumped down the second. oh shit! i ran up and jumped them again, and went to teh bathroom and then went up and jumped them again and my step dad told me to stop it, so i did. but i rushed back to my room excited.

my previous mind altering experiences hadnt got past hyperventilating and getting dizzy.

i became quite the fan of alcohol.

but i didnt touch drugs, i figured they were illegal because they were more harmful than alcohol, and because the ppl who used drugs at school were either deadheads, or if they werent, they took drugs with the deadheads.

one of my friends was sort of a drinking buddy, we spent many times sitting on a railway station or in a park drinking a bottle of scotch, real male bonding. he told me about smoking weed. he said he was at a beach and he smoked weed with soem friends and the vietcong started coming out of the sea and they became a military platoon stranded on a beach somewhere. It sounded fun, i loved games like that, and i thought it would be pretty cool if the game became more of a reality. but i was adamant to keep away from drugs.

on my 16th birthday, i had a sweeeetass party, and when i was real drunk at the end, i tried smoking a cone, but i didnt do it right. now i know, if i had done it right, i would have totally spewed out lol but luckily i didnt have a bad reaction.

having gone that step and tried due to my drunkeness, i had lost my inhibition to try weed.

i tried gettin high a few more times and i had trouble getting stoned, as a lot of people do.

then one day, after rolling a spliff of some really awesome weed, i smoked it in my backyard.

i was amazingly stoned, and after that, i realised that the universe had a whole new dimension to it that i had been blind to my whole life.

I got stoned every week after that, for a while. they were some of the best times of my life. but not just fun. incredibly insightful. i had revelations. im sure many of you are familiar with this sort of thing.

my whole life i had looked for something that would drive me to learn. and i found it: The human mind

ironic

i adore drugs

but i dont drink anymore really

and marijuana is nothing compared to what it was when i started
