To the young’uns - when you see someone in their 50s or 60s nowadays, just remember that a huge chunk of us spent the entire 90s utterly fucked up on coke, ecstasy, dope and LSD, listening to extremely loud electronic music
That’s why we’re all a bit weird, and deaf 😊
I’d argue it’s only got more common, not less.

You’re in big trouble.
Calm down, Escobar.
Alcohol, Nicotine, Caffeine, Cannabis, LSD, Ketamine, MDMA, 2C-B, 4-MMC, Kratom, Psilocybin, Muscimol, Cocaine, ODSMT (tramadol), Amphetamine.
Alcohol I consider the most dangerous and destructive of all. It is very hard on my body and tolerance as well as dependence build up quickly and often noticed too late due to social acceptance.
MDMA is great taken responsibly with loved ones. My wife and I enjoy it every few months for a “free parents weekend”. It really helps opening up emotionally and makes physical touch even more enjoyable.
My almost daily vice is weed. I use it to manage stress and unwind after work. It works best when I do it together with exercise. The workout high is my personal favourite.
Shrooms are also great. They are easy to grow and very pleasant to me. After I’ve done a high dose (6g) I can do 2-3g as a chill daytime dose that mellows me out. It’s especially great for playtime with children - brings me kind of to the same mental level without losing my mental capacity.
Nice try FBI.
Narc!
Using drugs is not illegal in *most places, including the US. It’s possession that most people get charged with.
do doctor drugs/antibiotics count?
Those are the worst kinds
Nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, methylphenidate.
Nicotine once. Friends at the time said I needed to try it to say for a fact I didn’t like it, and I didn’t like it. Then I learnt there are extremely rare cases of illnesses from just one smoke, so that advice was stupid, IMO.
Caffeine was a regular as I was self-medicating with it. Nowadays, I drink mostly decaffeinated. I wish there were more flavors and variety for it, though, at least a chocolate one…
Alcohol has always been an occasional thing for me, once or twice per year. I try to keep it that way because my family has a long history of substance abuse disorder.
Methylphenidate once. I borrowed it from someone’s prescription. I thought it would help me get energetic, euphoric, etc. Well, it was calming, and for the first time in my life my mind was quiet. It was so strange to be sitting with no turmoil, no direction of what to jump to do or even say spontaneously. It was just me and the silent room. Tranquility, so much that it was uncomfortable as it was new and not what I expected at all. Turns out I have hyperactivity and the medication turned it down.
If I were to say, I prefer uppers and I’m curious about substances like cocaine, but I don’t want to risk my health. I’m fine.
One of my local tea shops sells tea w/ basically these tiny hershey kisses mixed in. Honestly I tried it (Ex: Chocolate Drizzle) and it wasn’t for me, but if you really want that chocolate flavour it seems you can just straight up just add chocolate or sweetened cocoa powder to your tea. You may need to experiment to get the ratios the way you like it
That’s an interesting idea. Thank you!
Basically everything.
Except opiates, barbiturates, and REEEALLY specific RCs, but I’ve tried a lot of weird RCs. Wellll I also have smoked opium a few times. It was awesome. Never any hard opiates. Too scary.
Oh, also never had mescaline. Would try it though.
The weirdest of all of them was Foxy (5-MeO-DiPT)
The most addictive was Mephedrone (scary)
The worst one was DOC… I was ready to be done a few hours in. NOPE OVER TWENTY HOURS
I have a few friends who are currently big on Mephedrone… I’m glad I mostly stuck with weed
Mephedrone started out so innocuously. “It’s like X but with no comedown! And you can redose! But you’ll smell like cat piss.” I try it, maybe 15ish years ago.
Then a few months later, doing it every other weekend, I’m sitting with some friends and we have a giant pile on a table. The stuff is basically free, anyway. We’re all taking turns schnerting lines. My nostril starts bleeding, and clogs. I use the other one. It also starts bleeding and clogs. I can’t breathe through my nose anymore. Everyone else is still railing, and ALL I CAN THINK OF for the rest of the night is
“How can I snort more of that”
I hadn’t plugged anything yet, or I would have found a way to covertly do that.
That was the last night I touched mephedrone. I vowed never to have that feeling again.
Foxy methoxy is the shit, how was it weird for you? Felt very stimulating to me
Read my other response, absolutely wild! I felt so weird and bad, both sound and time distorted and my body felt weight when it happened. It was NUTS! I don’t regret trying it, but I’m never doing it again hahaha
Opium is a SCORE, still a top 3 on my list. Any story to that?
What is your take on the 5-MeO ones for intermediate psych users? I’ve heard lots of mixed opinions on them from my circles
Yeah!
Opium first time: handed a bowl at a festival circle, took a hit… instead of flower, it was flowery! Didn’t do much, but smelled and tasted nice.
Next time: Friend’s house. Smoked a decent chunk. Smelled great, felt kinda like more relaxing weed. Was nice.
Final time: With my partner, when we had begun dating like a decade ago. A good chunk. We smoked all of it on their bed and watched “Memoirs of a Geisha.” It smelled and tasted lovely. I got fucking SPLAPPED. Like, I’ve never felt anything like it. Absolute 10, and that’s when I knew I’m not touching opiates again until I’m terminal.
Foxy… the most fucking weird thing I’ve ever done. Tried it with my previous partner. It was a nightmare for most of it. Beyond visual and auditory distortions, we literally had temporal distortion. Songs we were familiar with would streeeeetccchhh out and go slower, and sound deeper… orgoreallyfastandsoundsuperpitchedup. My body got heavier when things were slow, and lighter when time went fast. I ate a burnt chocolate chip cookie. Nightmare nightmare nightmare. Then we fucked for like an hour and that was GREAT. We felt better after that. Never again, but also WAY FUCKING COOL experience. I was, at the time, moderately experienced with paychs (acid, mushies, 2cs, 4-aco)
In order of the first time: caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, LSD, amphetamine sulphate, cocaine, ecstasy, pure MDMA, psilocybin mushrooms, ketamine, DMT.
I always preferred psychedelics but they’re hard to find where I live.
I spent most of about a 6 month period when I was 18 on ecstasy. It had some negative effects but it helped me deeply connect with my best friend who I remained close to for nearly 20 years.
I’d recommend trying pure MDMA, especially with someone you care about, if you can 100% trust the source. I’d also strongly recommend DO NOT TAKE ECSTASY TABLETS. Thanks to the war on drugs they rarely contain anything close to MDMA these days but are likely to contain fentanyl and other nasty crap.
The most evil drug I’ve ever encountered is alcohol. That’s what ultimately took my friend’s life. It did it slowly over the course of most of her life but she still died in her thirties. The final years were horrible. With what it did to her body but also her mind. Most of the violent crime in my country involves people who are intoxicated on alcohol.
Weed was always my favourite drug and still is. I can’t do it anymore because I’m in a job that tests. Also I don’t live in a country where it’s legal so I don’t think I could even score it anymore. The people I used to buy it from either quit themselves or died from other drugs.
In an ideal world I’d smoke weed at most 10 times a year and take LSD twice. But I can’t imagine either will be legal in my country in my lifetime.
Caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, weed, shrooms, acid, speed, coke, mdma, ketamine… I stopped weed first, nowadays it’s just caffeine… Od’d on speed once, seriously convinced I was dying, that was horrible, 5 days of paranoid hallucinations, I was at my own funeral, people only came to bitch about me… acid is ok, shrooms are better, mdma and shrooms is amazing.
…but stopped when I became a dad, 17 years ago…
Best day ever
I tried cannabis for the first time this year and I’m 50. That’s it. It had zero effect on me and I just had some cereal.
When smoking it often doesn’t work the first time, try again if you got nothing to do that day 😂
I tried a gummy, 5 mg. I had some cheerios and went to bed.
Haha nice,I don’t know anyone else who started with gummies, but when it works you’ll notice!
I guess I just have to try a higher dose. I’m on an opioid antagonist medication though for anxiety which I think is blocking the effects.
I’d suggest slowly increasing the amount you take. Though if you’re taking it frequently you will have to account for a grown tolerance as well.
Edit: and if you stop for weeks at a time don’t resume at the dose you were taking while consuming regularly.
I had some cheerios and went to bed.
Well… sry to disappoint if you were expecting to see dragons or smth, but that pretty much is the effect.
Well I guess I had the wrong picture lol.
No wörries. A lot of people do.
I remember expecting something much more, as the depictions from shows and movies were always pretty overt. (This was in early 00’s.)
Ended up being more akin to like a similarly strong but opposite effect of caffeine. Caffeine makes me less hungry and more active. Weed does the opposite, more or less.
If I get what you’re referring to as drugs, then none. I never even had alcohol, coffee nor energy drinks. Mostly as a weird flex at this point.
Don’t take unlabeled food from known stoner fridges.

Old friend went hard on research chems for a few years. I remember seeing a spreadsheet with more than a dozen variants of DMT, quite well organised with loads of notes. The thing that stuck with me was one of them had a big bold warning ‘do not take with xxx you will die’. He’s OK now but it all culminated with him nearly killing a mutual friend and being committed to a mental institution for a few months.
Holy shit. I’m not even going to attempt remembering them all.
This guy knows what hes talking about
Basically alcohol and the tiniest smidgen of weed. I am allergic to hops and pot as it turns out so wheezing like I am dying or throwing up doesn’t seem worth the plusses. Still figure I got off lightly though, got a buddy who can’t go into cities or near concerts because one whiff will send her into anaphylaxis.
As for everything else I just am leery. Too many elementary school buddies dead from Fentanyl and I saw a lot of really fucked up shit from my friend’s addict parents when I was a kid.
