Most over-rated Drug

I suppose so. I actually prefer the subtle nature of opioids over the very 'in your face' nature of some drugs, dissociatives being a prime example. The joy of opioids for me IS how mild but beautiful the experience is. I guess you could say that that is the feature I 'look for' in drugs: something to enhance the normal, everyday flow of life, rather than something sharply tangential to everyday life, be it beautiful or not.

As for itchiness, I never got that side effect even beginning my 'career' of opioids. I guess that just made them all the more appealing to me. But things like Dissociatives present, to me, side effects that put off using the drug. At least that is so for Dextromethorphan. I have not tried any other one since I disliked that drug. I only tried it about 5 times, the highest dose was around 200mg. None of it appealed to me.

So, would you conclude then, for yourself, that you prefer drugs that 'rip' you from normal everyday experiences and replace them with less-known places?

 

I can pose a similar question you said to greenskies regarding heroin, how will you know you won't like the other disassociatives until you try them? Dxm is by far my least favorite disassociative I've experienced and it does have a slightly unique pharmalogical profile based on my limited research on it.

That's fair to say. Based on most everything i've seen, read and my solo oxycontin experience, some of the more potent opiates fall into this category as well though. The 'nod' seems like a fairly drastic removal from everyday experience.

It's also ironic that I've used drugs I deem of less value (adderall, cocaine, methylone)
in an entheogenic or therapeutic sense often more than the drugs that I prefer. That's one of those mysteries and complexeties of addiction I'd say.

 

MJ, even though I love it - it's not that great.

Depends what you're looking for in a drug though, as Etkearne said above*. I went through a ketamine phase where I thought I'd never need any other drug.. but it's lost it a bit for me now. I still enjoy it every now and again but I couldn't go back to sniffing as much as I was.
Tryptamines are the way forward in my opinion.

Edit: *Which is above GB's post

 

Meth.

Tell me again why it's so AWESOME?
It's NOT!
It fucks you up. Literally.

 

coke and alcohol ofcource not to say that they cannot be enjoyed still tho

 

I think that tolerance has alot to do with this, cause you gota admit when you first started blazing it was an amazing experience

 

Definitely, I've also found it amazing when I've taken MJ breaks for a bit and then come back to it and I usually get super lit that first time smoking again, a flood of feelings and nostalgia hit me.

 

if it counts cigarettes.. but otherwise alcohol. I drink, but I don't understand the fascination with getting drunk...

 

MJ is the most overrated imo.

I much prefer getting drunk than stoned. I used to smoke daily but now I smoke once a week if not less. When I'm stoned I'm not really social, so I guess that's the main reason I prefer alcohol. I like smoking alone, not with other people. I also found painkillers to be overrated, but only tried Oxys and Percs (although when I was actually in pain they were the best drug ever lol). Way too expensive for what they do to ya imo, not a recreational thing for me. And I see some people saying MDMA is overrated.... The two drugs that lived up to the hype: LSD and MDMA.

 

Yes and yes. Cigarettes are extremely pointless to me. I occasionally smoke a cigarette to perk myself up in the afternoon (maybe one cigarette every 10 days), but it is barely more 'reinforcing' than a cup of coffee. And the health problems associated with smoking certainly put off me smoking them any more often than I do. Ironically, since I am used to taking such extremely addictive drugs (amphetamines and opioids), I never got the urge to smoke addictively!

As for alcohol, don't even get me started. I don't even bother drinking at all anymore. It literally makes me feel poisoned in a way that NO other drug makes me feel. I can 'detect' that I have drank even small amounts for up to three days after the fact. The effects are subtle, but noticeable. All it does positively for me is loosen my inhibitions, but frankly, I have gotten just as good at doing that without any drugs simply by just growing up and maturing as a person, so I see no need for 'liquid courage' anymore.

I may have disagreed with you on the 'finer' points of some drugs in the past, but I am with you 100% here.

 

Coke makes no sense to me.... AFOAF has tried it twice in the past, and it's just such an empty high.... Stimulation and short lived euphoria? It's like GOOD MDMA but without any of the good stuff XD

The price is what really gets me though... If someone offers free, good coke, why not.... But paying for it? You're ridiculous XD

 

DXM, and Marijuana.

Heroin was pretty disappointing also, which is odd considering I love Opiates, but I think it was just super weak shit from Florida.

Hands down though, people overrate the fuck out of marijuana.

 

Coke. It's a waste of money especially when you don't know how pure it is. Plus the high is short. Not worth it in my opinion. DXM, however, is fucking fantastic for just checking out for the day. But if you like background substances more, alcohol and weed are pretty nice to me.
