Basically why I am extremely hesitant to try most drugs. Either I don’t like it, or I DO like and and want to keep trying it… either way the odds of it being a good thing for me long term are pretty sketchy.
Chemically addictive drugs aren’t worth it. Ones that aren’t physically addictive can just be pleasant and then you don’t feel any particular compulsion to do them beyond the desire to do pleasant things.
Not saying to go out and do some drugs or anything, just sharing that plenty of people have done things like hallucinogens, found it to be a fun and worthwhile experience and then never felt the need to do it again.
This is correct. Though if you go a day or two without smoking you get the head rush back again for only that first smoke which is the insidious part about it
So this is funny. I was raised with smokers. Didn’t smoke myself. Why? Because I got nothing but cough. Second hand smoke got me used to nicotine and it didn’t work xD
But! After smokers died off, and I lived alone for some time, I got used to no smoke and it backed off. Friend tried again to get me to smoke. So I inhaled like I did earlier and huh. I got hit, quickly.
So I swore to never smoke anyway. I already knew the high won’t last long before organism gets used to it, but I am gonna have cravings by then, so meh. And seen two close people ruined by it too.
Cigarettes and coffee, man. The diner I used to go to (20+ years ago) had a single “non-smoking” table in the middle of the restaurant, the tar turned the walls yellowish (it was a 24 hour diner and closed once a year for a few days to deep clean the place), and there was always a haze. I didn’t smoke personally, but I spent a lot of time there.
When the smoking ban hit, it hit that place hard. A few weeks after it went into effect, I went there and thought they had changed the coffee they used because it wasn’t nearly as good. I asked the waitress, and she said it was the same, you just didn’t have all the cigarette smoke to go with it anymore. Turns out they used the exact same coffee as every other diner in town, they just had a constant nicotine-laced aromatics to go with it.

I believe the head rush effect is mostly when you first start and after that it diminishes and then you’re just dealing with the withdrawal.
