I sniffed sharpies in jr High when the DARE people told us not to, I wanted to know what they were talking about, I stopped after a week but sadly a friend of mine still does it, we graduated 5 years ago from HS poor fella

This is a true story

Do you mean the pens? Seriously?

so sad

I smoked weed twice in my late 20s/early 30s. The first time did nothing. The second time made my Doritos taste good, but left me feeling dissociated and dizzy otherwise. The appeal of that escaped me.

Aside from that, I've only ever drank alcohol socially, but I've never been drunk.

I've done everything except heroin and crystal meth.

Favorites...LSD and Cocoa Puffs (bongload of marijuana with cocaine sprinkled on top)

Never addicted to any and never had any problems...just a hard partier. Now...if I could only quit smoking cigarettes...

Only thing I still do is marijuana...that shit is like coffee to me.

only weed a few times

I never did heroin or crack, but I think I hit all the big ones aside from those. Drugs were never a big deal for me. I never had to "quit" them because I was never all that into them.

Same. Not that I've tried much. Only two. Almost everyone I know smokes pot, it's no big deal in this country. I hated it though, not my thing at all.

not much, considering the decades of clubbing. Just never liked people that were on drugs.

I've tried XTC once, and really didn't understand what the fuzz was about. Did coke twice, the effect was little and I decided I was bored with drugs.

I've been drinking a lot. Fortunately I had a stupid accident when I was drunk one night. That scared me enough to not drink too much ever again. Like a few drinks. I can have a great night while being sober. I'm thankful for that. Also thankful that my body doesn't seem to be easily addictive to those drugs.

Yes I have.

yeah...

had a great time every time, especially the hallucinogens... those are lovely! [img:$uid]http://www.free.../img:$uid]

I'm indulging in one...okay two...right now.

Had a toothache awile back and needed a root canal. Dr. P. hooked me up with 20 Vicodin since he made me wait a week and a half for the procedure.

Just dropped one and preparing to fire up as we speak.

I was addicted to Crystal Meth from the age of 17, I'm 43 now...same time I was introduced to pot...the Meth had a hold on me until October 31,2010...had to give it up, I hated everything it did to me, my relationships with family and friends and my husband...who also abused...now I drink almost daily, and I smoke pot, whenever someone has it. Which isn't as often as I'd like...I love weed! I've also experimented with Extacy, Shrooms, Acid (which was fun)...but I'd be happy with a beer and a bowl of bud...I guess I still have demons to conquer! I'm way better now than I was...THANK GOD!

Not an overpowering high...just adds a little pop to whatever you're fuckin with.

Nope

Never...weed stinks to high hell

I got my ass beat to death for just standing next to a friend who was smoking cigs all because I smelled like it......another disgusting habit....

Don't drink any alcohol.....never was curious enough..welll....I do like Mike's Hard Lemonade but I may have 1 6pk in a years time.....yeah pretty much it in the liquor department.

I do have family who have abused though and that is an ugly thing to see.....I never want to experience that monkey EVER!

I was addicted to coke for about a year. I took it first time aged 30, last time was about 33. I never thought I would touch drugs when I was younger.

No and no.

Any pain killers or anything that knocks you on your ass is drugs...YES, even the ones your doc gives you.

Aside from those, I once barely tried weed and I say "barely" because I didn't know how t smoke {still don't} and as soon as I attempted to inhale I choked half to death and it felt like it burnt a hole in my chest. I'm coughing right now just thinking about it I attempted at a 2nd pull but the same damn thing happened. I got a little high but nothing serious but I'll tell you one thing, that fish sandwich I had right after that was the best fish sandwich I ever had in my LIFE!!!

I am lucky, my mom introduced me to marijuana when I was 8, smoked it until I was 11. I also was drinking since I was a toddler... beer mostly and rum.

I quit smoking pot out of boredom and supported my mom who made the same decision. When all my friends started becoming curious about smoking and drinking it was already old news to me. All of the girls I grew up with got hooked on crack cocaine and heroine. That could have easily been me also.

The marijuana part for kids I'm not too familiar with at all . But I did want to ask a question based on culture/cultural background: is it more of a normal thing in Latin families for people under 18 to drink, specifically beer and rum (cause it's part of your food culture lexicon)? I notice in France people often let children have tiny sips of wine or champagne, and in in South Germany (where they produce lots of wine and drink beer in glasses that measure about 1 quart) you can see a kid stealing a sip of "weissbeer" and it's okay. Actually, here in Germany one of the first words toddlers learn at the dinner table seems to be "proust" which is how we toast or say "salud" here. Babies are in the high chair with their sippy cup of juice, toasting at the table. I saw a Bavarian dad rubbing beer across his baby's lips once as a kind of odd folkloric tradition; he said his son was Bavarian and needed to connect to his culture's roots, and it was almost like an act of good luck to him. . I remember being in Mexico once and our pregnant tour guide was allowed by her doctor to enjoy beer (in moderation). I was wondering if rum or certain beers had the same kind of folkloric acceptance in the Carribean/Latin culture(s) that produce them.

Totally off topic, but it just dawned on me how many cultures don't demonize alcohol as strictly as we do in most American households.

If we don't count meds then no and no. If we do...then I've had tons because of my disability.

yes i have, and yes i would... i've smoked weed a few times, snorted coke a few times, done x on many occasions, shrooms a couple of times, and i was addicted to vicodin for about a year and a half during and after a hard phase of my life. Minus the Vicodin, i could have/can stopped/stop cold at anytime.

No, never. And I have no plans to change that.

Drinking alcoholic drinks is totaly a cultural thing.... I think my mom not knowing any better introduced me to weed since she was living like she was in a Cheech and Chong flick.

She was also trying to be a "Santaria healer" ... but it was mostly reading tea leaves and doing baths for people to hit the lottery or fing a man.

I remember in Christmas helping my mom make cocito (creamed coconut rum drink)

and making Annisett-in the tall Pepsi bottles I loved adding the food coloring to make it blue/red/orange

Oh! and my fav was curing the rum... with dates, raisins, prunes, figs or even tamarind if it was handy.

We would age those bottles for a good year then mom would pull out the raisins to add in desserts like the bread pudding or rum cakes

the aged spiced rum would be given to the kids in shot glasses, the music blaring out the house spaekers that were taller than me would fade out... I would even pass out next to them with the salsa music going full blast.

At least I know now how to make vanilla extract because of my mom... heck even cough medicine.

Just cigarettes Smoke one blunt once with some friend, didn't seem to affect me. Rarely drink, I've been drunk a couple of times and vomiting is a turnoff. I have a huge aversion to poking myself with needles so no worries with heroin. I also can't see myself sniffing anything up my nose.

Same here...

I JUST NOW as an adult kinda got used to getting stuck with needles by nurses and shit and that I don't even want to be bothered with because this fucking nurse who didn't know what she was doing left a bruise on my arm after sticking me with an IV. Okay wait, what was I saying...oh yeah I'm scared of needles, pills get stuck in my throat so I seldom take them and if water can burn like a bitch when it goes up my nose I sure as fuck ain't sniffing no cocaine.
