The High Thread - Drugs, drugs, drugs!

[Himu]

Let's talk about drugs.

Had a doobie earlier tonight and got pretty fucked up. Had some REALLY potent shit, and mixing it in with a bit of beer. Real good stuff.

I really only do weed and alcohol, although I do the occasional cigar or hookah. Can't be the only one who loves the smell/taste of weed/cigars but abhors cigs? My father gets 100's and the smell makes me want to barf.

What drugs have you all taken?
Got any cool stories?

[Mr. Gundam]

Just booze. I have no problem with pot, just never had an interest in trying it.

[Barry Egan]

In freshman year of university a bunch of people in my dorm did shrooms. At one point we split up, some people headed to the park and the rest of us went to the cafeteria for lunch. I'm sitting next to this girl and she's telling me all about her trip to South America. For the most part, I've managed to keep my cool. I'm seeing all sorts of patterns in my salad and I might be responding a little bit over-enthusiastically, but internally I'm pretty jazzed about my conduct. Then I notice that the girl has this confused look on her face. I look down at my plate and notice that I'm crushing my pastrami sandwich in to mush with my hands :-/

[Raban]

You know I was just about to make this thread

I dislike alcohol unless it's liquor, and even then I've never been drunk. Everyone in my family has fallen ill to some form of alcoholism so I'm staying away from it.

I've made it no secret that I fucking love weed. Shit's beautiful, man.

And I like cigs, but more to smoke when I'm high, not so much when I'm sober. Menthol cigs blow my fucking mind when I'm stoned, so yeah.

I don't really have any high stories to tell since the comedy doesn't translate well into text.

[duckman2000]

The stupidest thing about this thread is that you were influenced by a NeoGAF "hur, all psychadelics are like acid, munch some tame shrooms and rocket pant yourself to the moon" thread of incredible erowid-read shit.

Anyway, I've done most things commonly available, can't stand coke, can't stand opiates because I like them too much. Would recommend x to most people, but with the stern addition that I'm not really recommending them. But I am, but I'm not. Weed is nice, but it makes me unproductive and lazy. Ketamine is pure poison.

Any cool stories were cool events, but not really, so they aren't cool stories either.

What are you even talking about? I just made it because I wanted to make it. Wasn't "inspired".

Anyways, I'm the opposite with weed. I feel awesome when I do it, and really productive.

[demi]

He's so hardcore, man.

[Raban]

Weed doesn't really have an outward effect on me. Sometimes I lose my train of thought mid-sentence or have trouble remembering, but for the most part I'm the same person on the outside either stoned or straight.

Now INSIDE, that's a different story.

Also peeps who have done coke: -1 respect

[Barry Egan]

[OptimoPeach]

I'm up for anything beside meth, crack, and needles. Done coke, x, acid, shrooms, salvia, weed, muscle relaxers, xanax, oxy, and vicodin all a bunch of times. Well, weed is more of a regular thing. Love pretty much everything except opiates because they give me rock-hard shits, and I prefer acid to shrooms in just about every way except for the comedown. Stupidest thing I probably ever did was snort painkillers prescribed by the vet to my friend's dog

[Himu]

I used to get really inspired and productive on the herb, but starting around my junior year of college it started making me incredibly anxious and distinctly aware of all of the implications of every single social interaction. Things that I'd be better off not thinking about.

I only do it at concerts now.

I have a kinda similar story.

My friend Luis and his incredibly cute sister and her cool boyfriend invited me to their place so we could spark up. So we invited my friend, who brought us the good stuff. In the meanwhile, we threw on some cartoons while listening to some music. So my friend brings out her bong and we used that. Then we rolled some joints. Then we went back to the bong. Then we drank a little booze.

And so after a while of course the high kicked and I never felt like that in my life, it felt so good. I was so high my whole body felt like one big orgasm. But it quickly went sour from there, I started to get guilty over no fucking reason at all. I was like,"I've been a bad boy, I shouldn't have done this shit." and then I started to monitor the conversation like a hawk. I was beyond anxious and I felt like I had committed the worst sin of all time. I felt horrible.

I stopped smoking for a good 3-4 months after that. It was terrible but good at the same time, I don't fucking know.

[duckman2000]

Coke really fucked up our whole party scene. Granted that it also made it perfectly clear that club friends aren't really friends, but damn. The police cracked down on x really hard, so people replaced it with coke. Coke is fine when it's complimentary to x, but not as a base drug. A few weeks in, and every loft party had devolved into little islands of paranoid walking dead, sharing baggies with "true friends" and no one else. Comically, or tragically, if everyone had just pooled the shit together there wouldn't have been a need for cliques. Shit drug, at least for that scene.

[Raban]

Well I'm jk, but I'd never do coke. I'll stick to shit that grows out the ground, kthxbi

Yeahh I don't even do coke two days in a row, fuck that.

Oh, and when I said no needles in the last post I guess I should have mentioned that I'd still like to try special K, so I should have just said no mainlining heroin or coke

One of my buddies started suffering massive anxiety attacks after being a daily smoker for years and had to quit. Pretty weird

Yeah, I'm not touching that shit.

My only experience with K is from snorting it, and it was just nasty, nothing I'd recommend to anyone. Happened after a night of quite a few pills so things were already a bit shaky, but that shit was just plain not fun. Walking backwards, sitting down when we're trying to stand up, and end up laying in the couch, and I'm pretty sure we were drooling. Felt like a couple of drugged apes.

Oh yeah, and then sober people arrived. Shit night.

[Joe Molotov]

I get high on life, man.

[Beezy]

Tried weed for the first time at the end of summer. It's okay, nothing crazy. It just makes me really chill and slows down everything around me a bit. I hate how it slows down my breathing though. Freaks me out.

Cigarettes suck, tried those too in the summer.

Hookah just makes me lightheaded. I only do it as a social thing with my close friends.


Alcohol makes everything more fun. I love it. I hate having to drink a shitload just to get a buzz going, so I don't drink beer too often. If I go to a bar I usually get long island iced teas because it's the strongest drink I know of. At a friends place I usually drink vodka with some type of juice or something dark like Jack Daniels.

I don't plan on trying anything else. You honkies be trippin.

[Himu]

I prefer weed to alcy because you don't end up barfing next to a trash can or molested by your roommate like with booze.

You breathe slow with weed? I find weed to be a natural asthma cure for me. It makes me breath far better, opens up my nasal passages and gets the gunk from my throat. If I'm feeling groggy with the sinuses I smoke a bowl and I'm all good.

I don't plan on trying anything else. You honkies be trippin.

I wanna try shrooms though, I gotta admit. I'd say acid too but I've heard that has bigger life implications.

[Beezy]

I've only vomited once from drinking and it was because the idiots I was with kept mixing all types of alcohol together. My stomach tells me when it's not safe to drink anymore. Hangovers suck too, but I've only had 2 really bad ones that lasted most of the day.

Yeah, weed makes me breathe slow. The first time I tried it I was panicking on the inside a bit. I just have to get used to that feeling. I don't smoke often though.

[drew]

hey guys whats happening

[Himu]

Gosh, hangovers are awful.

[drew]

im on ambien right now

or i will be, i dont think its kicked in yet

[Himu]

Beezy, I'm surprised you hadn't smoked weed sooner. You're Jamaican.

I'm sorry, I just have this stereotype. But who am I kidding. When I'm high and I go to the gas station convenience store to get some snacks, I know those people are saying,"haha, seeing  a high distinguished black fellow is like a seeing a fish swim!" but I don't give a fuck. Orange slices > you

im on ambien right now

or i will be, i dont think its kicked in yet

What about what the doc said about smoking and all that. I thought you quit drugs?

[drew]

lol

no

pe

[Diunx]

I smoke weed and cigarettes and drink alcohol, always wanted to try shrooms or acid but never had the chance, wanna try coke and too just to see what all the fuzz is about.

[Himu]

I seriously wanna try shrooms or acid.

I remember this chick in high school senior year, we'd talk about drugs. And she was obsessed with shrooms to the point where I didn't want to try them. She'd google "shrooms" in class or whatever, and seriously she creeped me out.

[Beezy]

A mind is a terrible thing to waste  

You still don't drink PD?

It's cool. I've been hearing that sine high school, especially since my eyes and slow speech make me seem like I'm always high.

I dunno, no one in my direct family does anything besides drink and my mother scared me away from drugs while I was growing up. I know my brother tried weed, but he doesn't care for it. My cousins and uncles smoke regularly though.

[duckman2000]

Was she obsessed because she did them, or obsessed because she wanted to do them? It's probably my favorite "drug," as it is mellow, comes on and leaves smoothly, but I honestly don't understand the deep fascination with them. I guess the mystery of it wears off after, uh, a friend of a friend has grown them.

In that thread that inspired you, there are a lot of people that talk about it as if it was acid, and they smell like erowid-read nerds to me.

[drew]

im so glad i never dropped acid, i was oh so close, but never ended up doing it

and i also have that thing other people in here were saying about why they dont like/quit smoking weed, yes i was a daily smoker, i blame add meds

[duckman2000]

I'd smoke weed if I had it, which is why I don't have any. I'm not good with keeping drugs around. Especially if I'm concerned about it, then I'd just burn/munch through it fast so that it would be gone faster.

[Ichirou]

Oh Himu...what would Allah say?

[OptimoPeach]

Shrooms make me puke EVERY TIME I eat them, and until I puke I feel like shit. Coming up on acid is just 45 minutes of hysterical laughter. One time I was watching a Carlin stand-up and laughing so hard that I started to worry I was gonna suffocate, and then thinking about what a pathetic death that would be made me laugh even harder.

I wouldn't even bother with shrooms if acid were easier to come by around here

[cool breeze]

the only drug I'd do is coke to be more like Harry Ellis

[Human Snorenado]

Oh man, the stories I could tell.

In college a bunch of buddies and I kind of turned into a bunch of slavering jackals that just wanted to do whatever drug we could get our hands on.  We'd start the day off with a little wake n' bake and go from there. 

Things got really out of hand after a couple of strippers moved in next door to us.  We started hanging out at the strip club with them and getting free lap dances, drinks, whatever.  Fun times.  I fucked one of them and a couple of my other roommates took turns fucking the other one- not on the same night or whatever, but in general. 

One time three of us had a bunch of K and decided it would be funny to be at the strip club in a big ol' K hole, so we took our baggies in with us and took turns going to the bathroom to do big ol' bumps of K all night.  Seeing jiggling titties while in a K hole is like the funniest thing ever.  EVER.  Trying to carry on a conversation with a dumb stripper while loud music is playing and you're in a K hole is probably harder than juggling chainsaws blindfolded.  Then of course one of the strippers figured out we had K and demanded some, and she got so fucked up she couldn't dance anymore for like a half an hour and got yelled at and almost fired.  Good times!

I could go on, but yeah.

[Ichirou]

What is a K hole?

[Human Snorenado]

What is a K hole?

The high you get from doing Special K (aka ketamine, aka animal tranquilizer cooked up and snorted.  only dirty addicts shoot that shit up)

[Ichirou]

That sounds really fucked up.  You snorted animal tranquilizer?  For real?

[Human Snorenado]

Sure, lots of people do.  Any time someone talks about doing K, Ketamine, special k, whatever, they're talking about doing animal tranquilizer.  Fucks sakes, the drug was so widespread in the late 90's (don't know about today, don't really do drugs anymore) that the Chemical Brothers wrote a song called "Lost in the K Hole".

[The Fake Shemp]

Yeah, it was in heavy rotation in my social circle in the late '90s and early aughts.

... why is Himuro smoking pot? How old is he?

[Human Snorenado]

...12?  I dunno.  No, he's in his early 20's.  Pot's fine, I'd smoke it if it didn't fuck up my throat and make me all phlegmy and shit.

[duckman2000]

I wouldn't recommend it. Ever.

I would try acid but from what I understand it lives with you forever in your spinal fluid. Pass.

I'd do X but from what I understand it puts holes in your brain and makes it bleed. Pass.

I'd do shrooms but it's really easy to have a bad trip and it's really hard to escape from said trip. Pass.

I don't judge people who do drugs, because I do drugs, but I love weed. I'm smoking this shit as long as I live in California, because from what I understand this shit is the bombest, and I'm not into weed enough to live with the downgrade when I move out of CA.

+1 billion.

i can't read -that- other thread, people are talking a load of old bollox.

There is a dude there that seems to want to claim to be an expert, and everything he writes reads like it's straight from scientific studies.

"Acid is very similar to shrooms on a chemical level blah blah. "

Yeah, well, it isn't.

edit: oh god, he just claimed to be well read, and went on to drop names of experts.
