No offense, but you hang out with some fucked up people if they just "trick" you into smoking crack.

"YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST SMOKING WEED? MAN YOU JUST SMOKED CRACK! YOU JUST GOT PUNK'D!"

Seriously though, its one thing to make the decision to do crack, its another thing to do it without knowing. These are the types of stories that I hope diminish as time goes by. Yeah, I know you said it was a party, but still, that sux.

You should add Crystal Meth in that list, along with GHB, Ketamine, maybe Opium too.

I know people who have opium and the above listed drugs.

And No one does drugs that you inject... we're all scared of needles!! So thats pretty we'll where my limits lye.... as soon as a needle gets involved! (And I wont do meth! but thes cuz I'm a chemistry major in Uof A and like fuck i wanna do that, sounds like fun but nah!)

Coke then E?

Nah, usually out here it's E first, maybe even meth. Crack before acid? Fuck, that's hard up. You live on the downtown east side or something?

I don't live in a city at all I'm from northern Alberta, and a town of about 2000ppl. Thats all there is to do round there is drugs! We don't have a bar let alone raves! I've still never been to a rave! (sounds fun but there just aren't any here!) I think what I said came out a lil wrong... only the rough ppl do crack, but alotta good ppl have tried it! Thats what coke does..... your goin and goin and finally you get to the point where u can't do anymore because you body wont let you, and then, thats when u see a lotta good ppl do fucked up shit (like crack!). I've only seen a hand full of ppl do acid like I said over here it goes ....alcohol, weed, shrums, coke, (crack & e), acid and meth thats way the fuck out there no one brings that along ppl do that in secrecy, not as a social drug!

i did my part on the checklist

[diaphorrhoea]

Clicking those little boxes for the poll made me remember that my acid connection is gone and I can't get anymore of those magical little squares of paper. Thanks for making me sad. :(

[ebbomega]

^^ Usually with acid, if your connection is gone it's a good idea to avoid it.

It's a drug I find synchronistic usually... it comes when it needs to and delivers what it came for.

[Sarah...]

Mushrooms(hate)
Ecstacy(done alot)
Ketamine
Acid(once, I hate it)
GHB(by mistake)
Cocopuffs(couple times)

I was never that bad with drugs. Kinda just tried out a few things and was like whatever. MDMA is the only drug I did maybe a bit too much of at one point but I never got into anything really that hard. And I only do drugs about once a year as I have gotten older. Moderation is key;)

I have to admit that I do enjoy my beverages.

[-evil-duerr-]

i used to be very fond of drugs. Like alot of people, i eventually got sick of that lifestyle. I just rock the pot these days. I will do harder drugs once in a blue moon for occasions, but thats it.

btw, do kids do much PCP these days? I've never once come across it in all my druggy journeys.

That's not fair at all.

Acid rarely is.

Either that, or it is too much so. It's a great equalizer... besides, do you ever really _ENJOY_ the mind expansion acid gives you? Honestly, by about the 5 or 6 hour mark your paranoia kicks in and you start hallucinating on all the things you hate about yourself. I wouldn't say that it's detrimental to you as a person (quite the opposite, really), but I would say that it's not exactly what I'd call "pleasant" either.

I've only done it once, but I found it much less introspective than most of my mushroom trips have been. My thoughts were directed outwards for once and I loved every minute of it. Rather than being shown interesting and often unpleasant things about myself, the enlightenment was applied to external things. It has been a few months and I am dying to enter that world again. :(

those are the exact reasons why i gave up mushrooms... spending the entire night in the bedroom crying is not my idea of fun... they really show you almost what i would consider TOO much about yourself...

the thing with Mush is, you have complete control over it. If you start focusing on negative things , or trippin out on your own insecurities .. then your trip will be like a horrible downward spiral. If you are mind strong/ confident person , then you can have amazing spiritual trips.

I will admit, it can get pretty intense and not always in a good way

personally I tried it a few times, had a couple amazing experiences and never really wanted to do it again.. but lately I sorta wanted to try it again

thing I hate is the gross feeling you get in your stomach before you start trippin. eck.

i believe that is a false statement..

you trip out cause of the poison in the mushroom.. i doubt you can control the effects of poison in your system, If you do the wrong kind or do to much or have and allergic reation your are gonna have a bad trip no matter what.. and only until the mush gets completely digested is the trip gonna go away

I agree with that completly! I love shrums and do them all the time I would rather do shrums then drink, or if I feel like a preticularly good night I'll do both and I've NEVER EVER had a bad trip! (and don't try and say some BS like they've been bunk or you haven't eatin' enough) The whole thing with shrums is if you think about happy/positive things your gonna have a great trip. But if your self concious/negative/or start out paranoid then guess what your gonna have a bad trip! Its all mind over matter, yes your poisoning your system but your brain is still functioning which means you still have some power over whats happening in there!

[tiedye]

I eat shrooms as often as I can - sometimes days on end. They're the best. Acid, K, coke, ecstacy, opium.. none of em come close. Everything I'm good at in life, I do 10x better when I'm shroomin. I run faster, dance better, play guitar better, and even sing better.

The best part is, no two trips are the same. And you can eat and eat and eat and the worst that will happen is you puke them back up. No kids die on you because they don't know any better.

I like mixing mush with chems too. Hippie flipping is definately a must-try, as is mush and K.

i dunno, i did a LOT of mushrooms for a bit there... i went the mushroom field and picked 'em and ate 'em... for the entire mushroom season (now going on 3 years).... and only recently have my trips begun to get bad... so i think it may have to do with doing them TOO much... also, i am not a very confident person, so that also may contribute... anyways, just my opinions :)

[diaphorrhoea]

I agree that mushroom trips are very controllable. I found that with a bit of experience under my belt I was able to banish the usual worrying/paranoia that accompanied my previous trips, and since then I haven't spent a single unenjoyable second on mushrooms.

Pickin fresh from that field in Chilliwack is sweet.. fresh ones give you a nicer more natural high I found

You can control the drugs or let the drugs control you.

You can't stop the trip, you can only contain it.

Only you can avoid a bad trip. It's like the tree in Empire Strikes Back... What's in there? Only what you bring with you...

I've had a few bad trips, but I've had a lot more really good ones. I find not getting completely ripped out of your tree every time you do it to be key. 1/16 of an ounce to an eighth and I'm good for the night.

[Cosmos]

with any drug you take you have complete control. even if youre having a bad trip, your brain has put yourself into that state of mind...with help from the drugs...but it's still never the less your thinking. ultimately you can control it even in a worst case senario, mind over matter.

i have unknowingly smoked pcp and meth that was packed in with weed on seperate occasions and was informed after i inhaled a few, people should seriously not lie about what they're putting in the pipe! it's mean and if you're not prepared for it mentally it just winds up making people mad and paranoid when they realise what they've smoked up. [i even got a little aggresive]

i dont do ecstasy anymore because i was until christmas a pretty hard user. and i can say im fucking glad to be rid of it.

drugs are fine and dandy but once you get into them too deep, its a waste of time and money.

I disagree with this, I don't believe it's so black and white. As dosage size increases, the malleability of the experience decreases. Once you reach a certain level of dosage for almost any drug respectively, the experience will inevitably grow completely beyond your control. With some drugs this threshold is much lower, obviously (ie. LSD, salvia).
