DLers, what substances have you dabbled in?

poppers

Poppers and coke.

Play-Doh.

Mostly just coke and molly. Coke a few times a year in my 20s, molly maybe twice a year during the same time period.

Weed (always & forever). During my rave days: E, K, acid, shrooms with some coke here and there.

many years since I have done drugs but, everything except heroin because my father was a lifelong heroin addict.

Lots of E, powder MDMA, and speed. Tried coke around a dozen times...experiences were mixed. LSD and shrooms a few times, never again.

When I was younger, weed, molly, coke, shrooms, ayahuasca.

Ecstasy is the only one I actually liked/miss.

A glass of wine or a cocktail is as exciting as it gets these days, and I'm ok with that.

mephedrone, methamphetamine, GHB, Ecstasy, Coke. ketamine once.

Don't like weed much.

Alcohol and nicotine too.

It's less the substance that causes the problem than how it is used and the context it is used in.

Nutmeg

Weed, hash, acid, shrooms, ecstasy, coke, meth (only 5 or so times), in that order. Now, at 40, I can’t even smoke weed without getting paranoid. Just booze for me from here on out.

Everything listed above with a heavy emphasis on mescaline and peyote. But it was my uncle that really turned me Onto the ether.

Marijuana, poppers and speed

I wasn't really wild, wild. From 18 to 23, I was high practically every morning before going for a jog, visiting the parks bathrooms for some dick action, then off to the beach. I went to work at around 3 until 11 pm, and would get high again in the car on the way home from work. I would get home, shower, put on my Daisy Duke jeans with no underwear, tank top, flip flops and go to my favorite gay beer and wine bar. I would then smoke a little more, usually with the bartender just outside the bar. I was a pro at joint shotguns. I would then leave at closing time, and go cruise for more dick action. At the beach. In a park. And then head home. The wildest I got was taking Quaaludes. They were outlawed quickly, so I didn't take many. Sex was AMAZING under the influence of weed, and Quaaludes. I did everything in moderation. I only smoked about a quarter of joint each time I got high. I would only take only a half of Quaalude. A quarter at first, and the second quarter about a half hour later. I am now 60+, and have recent marijuana moments. It's not legal in my state for recreational use, but I can't wait. I want to do edibles, as I heard these have the best high. I've never had one!!! I wish Quaaludes were available. They made me so relaxed.

Glint, aka Glow, Glimmer and Satan’s Hairlip. Oh, and I also cooked my breakfast up in a teaspoon for years.

I experimented a bit when young. Tried meth once, I felt like a vampire and it was so strange. Luckily my roommate was on Seroquel and I took a bunch of that to stop the meth effects.

Coke, mushrooms, acid, and ketamine a few times.

Now I drink and don't go near drugs.

Weed

Mescaline

mushrooms

LSD

cocaine (nasty stuff, and the only substance besides tobacco that I ever became addicted to)

horse tranquilizers

Valium

Quaaludes

diet pills

Everything except Ketamine. I quit before that was a thing.

Everything except Crack and H.

I didn't do anything.

I was a mary sue. Didn't even drink until I was 21. And now that I'm 51, I just started trying pot a year ago. It's ok. I like it better than alcohol.

Twinkies

Pretty much everything at least once.

Tannis root.

I was on morphine ONCE, when I had my eyes done... then every day for ten years after that.

I'd like to try ayahuasca now as an adult but I'm afraid I'll freak out.

Weed, poppers, K, GHB, coke, crystal, crack cocaine, poppers and opium!

R25, it didn't freak me out, but I was all of 19 and a blank slate. Dunno how I would react to that experience as an adult with more baggage, lol.

Just weed, acid, and ecstasy. I'd like to do acid and ecstasy again! Maybe shrooms. And kratom if that counts.

Booze, methadone pills, heroin, coke, mdma, poppers, ghb, morphine, weed, benzos.

Just a stoner now.

Everything.

Nothing. Ever. Not even pot, or even a plain cigarette.

R31 Are you a quaker?

Lydia Pinkham's. That stuff is killer.

E and Special K

I tried Molly. I had a bad experience on it. I’m too neurotic as it is to take drugs and enjoy them.

I tried cocaine. I loved it. I could have definitely seen wanting to have it all the time. Looking back, I’m lucky I didn’t keep doing it. So much energy.

penis

I drank a Coca-cola once.

It was just alcohol for me, I was terrified of drugs. I was probably the only gay guy in NYC in the 90s who didn't touch drugs. In retrospect, I don't regret it.

Oh yeah, I also drank way too much, to the point where I think I have permanently messed up my brain. My memory used to be excellent and now it’s complete shit. 15 years of alcoholism and now almost one in recovery.

Man ass is like crack to me. Does that count?

You bitches are a bunch of dopies. I thought having a few drinks every day for a year in my 30s was bad a trying week in college. Other than that, nothing. Never cared or was interested.

Weed, hash, coke, acid, shrooms, some designer hallucinogens, meth - MDMA had just shown up when I was stopping drug use, so I never tried it. I saw people free basing coke, but never tried it. Crack hadn't shown up yet. My friends loved Quaaludes, but pills seemed like medicine to me. I miss shrooms and weed, which is still not legal in my state.

When did MDMA show up?

This is a funny story. When I was 19, my straight best friend and I were both attending college together in SF. My first boyfriend - a much older man (he was all of 29!) was up visiting us from LA where he lived. I was madly in love and felt very adult when he said he was bringing some coke and renting a hotel room so we wouldn't have to do drugs in the dorms. Very classy! Oh, he was a family friend of my best friend, so the three of us hung out together all the time.

My best friend and I had only done weed in high school and coke exactly one time about two weeks before this night. Very, very green when it came to drugs. So the bf, the best friend, and myself get to the hotel. He gets out the coke. But - and for the life of me I can't remember why - he had to leave for like an hour. After he left, we started doing the coke. But it was different from the coke we'd just tried two weeks ago. It didn't seem to work. There was no high. No numb feeling in the back of the throat. So we did what any idiot 19 year old kids would do. We just kept doing more. Until it was finished.

Oops.

Bf comes back from his errand (maybe he got more drugs?) and just sort of shook his head. He told us that it wasn't coke. It was crystal (this was 1999). We didn't even know what that was. Like, no clue.

Cut to four days later, me and the best friend are STILL up. Losing our fucking minds. Trying to not have our heart stop. Trying to attend class. It was a nightmare and neither of us every touched meth again. The end!

r43, MDMA showed up in Houston around 1981-82 at the parties I attended.

In high school: pot, alcohol, mushrooms, nutmeg, and morning glory seeds (crushed them up and ate them). Was high forever off the nutmeg (it was like 24 hours), had a really bad trip off the morning glories (don’t ever trip alone!), and never experimented after that.

My partying never caught up to me because I don't smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. Alcohol, heroin, crack/cocaine and meth do not work on me. They literally do nothing, no matter how much I ingest.

Therefore I enjoyed all the pot, acid, mushrooms, kratom, Klonopin, Xanax, ketamine, salvia, DMT, PCP, peyote(yeah, I can use and possess it legally!)and miscellaneous benzos I wanted.

I still love, love, love tripping on psychedelic drugs. I don't think I'll ever tire of that, or smoking pot.

I was kinda straight edge as a teenager. I drank alcohol casually only from age 19 to maybe 24, then stopped again. I tried weed once. Nowadays, I indulge in poppers during jerk-off sessions maybe once a week.

Poppers do nothing for me. Am I doing them wrong?

An aspirin dissolved in a can of Coca Cola.

R49, for me, it depends on what chemical substance a poppers brand uses. Some of them do nothing for me, others cause a terrible headache, some (e.g., Isopentyl Nitrite) work just fine.

Other than that, you sniff them (dosage depending on preference) and hold it in for a short while (optionally). There's not much to it really.

Cocaine and lots of it.

Opium really, R26?

An evening of freebasing with a now prominent federal official.

I already listed mine, but the questions about x prompted me to add this. I was getting pharmaceutical grade X in middle school before they stopped prescribing it. I would take the street shit every now and then for concerts and what not, but finally gave up on finding anything close to the real shit. I still jack off remembering my 8th grade summer.

R32 - I’m not a Quaker. I’m not as square as you’d think.

Caffeine.

Tang

I love poppers but I'm afraid they'll give me sinus or respiratory problems so I stay away.

San Pedro cactus was a trip and a half.

Kratom.

Pancakes Barbara!

I graduated hs in ‘90, partied *hard* starting sophomore year and into lower 20’s. So I did everything except needles so no H, crack (blow was classier lol), and X (it was newer).

What’s a notable difference between now and then is that people partied with street drugs, and pill-poppers were bottom feeders. In the 80’s/90’s, doing drugs was very ritualistic, cutting lines, cleaning seeds out of pot, etc. Pills killed drug culture. I am now a pillhead lol, but not physically addicted, I just like to take edge off. I too did opium multiple times, it wasn’t easy to get.

For the poster who has peyote, how the hell are you obtaining that, you said you legally possess it? Is that a thing? Let me join your club please. 😎

Tide Pods.

I never touched drugs because they terrified me. In my youthful party days of the 90s/00s I was total old school - alcohol and cigs.

In mid-90s, friends and I went out clubbing after snorting multiple lines of meth. Back then, it was cut with baby laxative, so that was always a deterrent for me to keep doing more. I did K once but never again, after one bad experience of falling into proverbial hole. I got too congested from doing coke, so gave up on that as well. I don't think G was around back then. Tried acid in a group setting but then went into a bathroom full of mirrors - not good. Finally, I somewhat liked X but was rendered immoveable due to its strength sometimes. So I guess I'm glad to have the experiences I've had, but can't imagined dabbling in something like meth now, which has gotten more potent.
