    Yup quite a lot and I wasnt hooked. If I did Meth as much as I have done coke I'd probaly look like this.

    Right, but you're unlikely to get addicted trying it once. Contrary to popular belief, it takes weeks or even months of consistent use to develop a physical dependence on any drug, though admittedly if it's really good you're more likely to try it again. The whole 'one hit and you're hooked' mantra is largely bull****.

    Way to buy into government scare tactics. Meth is undoubtedly a nasty chemical, but if you can take coke and avoid addiction, you could do the same with ice.

    I just see that and smack as very dirty drugs. Its just my opinion.

    Once you know it's somewhat unfounded and a wee bit hypocritical that's fine. Your life will be no emptier for not having done meth or gear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 688 ✭✭✭Shulgin


    My favourite Illegal drugs I have taken.

    Psilocybin Mushrooms
    LSD

    Lots of other research chemical psychedelic compounds both tryptamines and phens.

    Ketamine
    Cannabis

    Do I regret taking these chemicals? no! :)
    Would I take them again? Yes!


    I havent done cocaine or amphetamine, those speedy type drugs just aren`t my thing or worth the crap side effects IMO.

    Indeed and I'd say nearly everyone I know who took smack is now dependent ("Oh its just got a bad stigma associated with it"...my bollix). I got a bag of meth from a girl in college who didn't like it. I actually found it okay but it's supposedly quite addictive and has serious physical/mental side effects. I remember doing it one morning before going in to do a practical exam in college and got a distinction. I met the lecturer who awarded the grade months later after I left the course and when he began to comment on the quality of the work I told him I had been on it during the exam. That ended that conversation.

    Pardon? You think because I’ve done less addictive drugs that I’m a hypocrite? Or is it the fact that i grew up around smack heads and have seen first hand what it does that makes me a hypocrite?

    Oh they are, I agree with you on that one. Anything is once you are addicted to it, these ones happen to be highly addictive so there are going to be more people addicted to these than any other drug.
    I think trying something out once when you have your head about you is ok. Obviously it doesn't work out well for everyone. & you are only going to see people who are addicted and not those who have tried it once.

    For the same reason a lot of parents in the U.S. (and possibly over here?) get their children prescribed adderall and ritalin to get higher grades due to the increased concentration the substance promotes.

    No wonder kids are so messed up, being fed what is essentially speed from very young ages.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    3 i think. E, hash and coke. Back when i was young though-don't think i'd manage anything now without going totally off the wall. Never took to E anyway. And the other two weren't all the time either..

    Coke/Crack, Speed, MDMA, LSD, Ketamine, Mushrooms, GHB, Cannabis,
    Mostly only a handfull of times with the exception of coke - couldn't beging to guess how much of that over a period of 7 or 8 years and ecstasy- more or less the same, certainly 1000's of times over maybe a decade or so. Would have tried pretty much anything, bar heroin, but that's what came my way. Have no real regrets to be honest, spent a hell of a lot of money but i was young and having a good time, i doubt it would have gone into a savings account otherwise!!

    Sorry, hypocrite may have been a bit strong a term, but you're still misled if you think coke is far behind heroin in terms of harm and addiction potential, if these two charts are anything to go by.

  • I'm not a crystal meth expert, but I thought it was widely considered an extremely addictive and destructive drug? I know loads of people who have done E, coke, whatever who wouldn't touch crystal meth with a bargepole.

    Generally I'd agree Izzy but it depends on availability and who's doing em. Generally your crack, heroin and Crystal meth are your barge pole drugs for the recreational user.

    The positive side of crystal meth doesn't get as much publicity as E/coke.

    Just because people dont do it dosent mean they are afraid.

    One of my best friends always said he'd love if I spiked him some night and didn't tell him about till after.. He kney it was safe but was afraid the anxiousness would get the better off him before the come up.

    In my experience, fear of the unknown is the reason most people don't do it.. There are people who don't do it for other reasons but if those people drink, I don't understand their reasons and never will.

    Clicked 3,forgot about another so its 4.

    Its weird cos I was always the lad from our group that wouldnt take anything,now I've been through the "experimental" period for a couple of years now.Peer pressure,pure interest in all the fuss,I don't know,but at least I know myself now what they're like.Still smoke hash/weed frequently but might only take something else if at a gig etc.

    Weed, THC and hash are the same drug, likewise ecstasy and MDMA, and mephedrone and salvia are legal.

    Not a bad list all the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,061 ✭✭✭damagegt


    the thc i had was the crystals taken from the plant,some people call it ice and mdna is just a purer form of ecstasy.those drugs maybe legal but are no less potent then anything else i have taken .I had gbh over the summer at a festival i found it a bit sh** and left me with a bagger of a head ache not to mention the guy i got it from sold it by saying

    "give this to some ladys and they wont see you coming"

    Nice.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I haven't done half enough drugs but it's more than 5. I'll consider my life incomplete if I don't get my hands on some more LSD or shrooms. The biggest problem now being I'm getting old and out of the loop. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    Hash, E, and coke.

    Devils weed? That's some hardcore s.hit!! An experience to remember i'd say. Personally i wouldn't go near it

    Also microdots are lsd, the dosage of mescaline required is too high to fit into a microdot or even in a regular pill.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,946 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    Yeah mescaline are generally in pellets arent they? Is that the word? Discs? Dried cactus. Available in Amsterdam or so I'm told.

    You get a better hit from the capital A Acid.
    The lower-case acid is a bit more of a mellow buzz.

    San Pedro cactus is probably the 'nicest' drug I've tried - boiled and drunk, like an Irishman in the Spanish sun.

    sorry for the twice acid,as for the mico dots there were different for me then acid or shrooms.Like for instants i have taken fly agaric it is a mushroom but very different from our shrooms or Hawaiian shrooms .and the devils weed......i dont even know how to describe it,more like coming in and out of dreams but after forgeting that you have taken anything.very strange.

    I tried that fly algaric from the head shop and got nothing off it. Maybe I prepared it wrong but it's partly the reason I don't go to the head shop, everything I've gotten out of there bar the shrooms when they where available and Salvia (which I'm afraid of, no drug has lasted as long as that in my home, it's still in my drawer) every things been muck.

    A few of us are planning a headshop binge before they go under though.

    The active chemical in fly agaric is muscimol; it's a completely different drug to psilocybe mushrooms.

    Nah, it's still going strong. Can't really see it getting banned to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,061 ✭✭✭damagegt


    As pace said a lot a hallucinogens that you would think are the same are different and have different affects,in other words the same but different............
