I have been an avid marijuana smoker since the age of 15. I have been an avid drinker since my late teens. I have also been a lover of psychedelics this entire time. Honestly, I don't really consider marijuana and mushrooms to be drugs. Cocaine and alcohol (and pills... opiates, benzos, etc) have been that hardest drugs I have touched, and I have little good to say about them. I feel a life of complete sobriety is something noble which should be celebrated, and I strive to attain that myself. It is hard when you are an introverted person who lives mostly inside their head. I find that getting away from the internet helps, as does eating healthy (something I was adamant about for years but am starting to get back to), and just spending time outdoors, away from the bullshit that pollutes our body, mind and soul. I don't want to be weighed down by the low vibration of dependance and addiction.
I toke way too much these days as I get it free and it's top quality. That's the only drug I do anymore. I tried some synthetic mescaline recently and it reminded me why I don't do psychedelics anymore. Been there, done that. No need to go tripping to the same places I've been before. I do need more exercise, but smoking as much as I do stresses my heart as much as working out.
I smoked dope from 19 till I was 30. Then I stopped smoking altogether as I was having problems with my right lung. It had spontaneously collapsed when I was 27, and although it had been reinflated in hospital, by the time I hit 30 every time I lit up any kind of cigarette or joint, I had a pain under my right armpit. The pain eventually took away any and all enjoyment of smoking for me, so I stopped, and with that stopped smoking dope as well. Since then I've been a drinker of lager for much of my adult life, as well as red wine. However, over the last 10 years or so, I've found that I no longer enjoy alcohol, so now I'm a clean machine, whether I like it or not.
