Coffee is my most used drug. I drink alot (4+ cups a day).
I used to drink booze more than I do now, but since I moved away from the bar scene (I used to live a 5 minute walk now I live a $25 cab ride) I just can't afford to hit the bars like I used to.

No illegal drugs, no coffee, no cigarettes.
I will have drinks with friends if I'm out. That happens maybe once or twice a month. Usually I don't have more than a couple, but I will occasionally have shots and that's a bit different.

My response for recreational drugs is the same as with alcohol - No thanks, I've already had my lifetime's worth.

Coffee, cigarettes, booze whenever I get the cash, and weed. I wish weed were legal, and to me it's completely reasonable that it should be.

Nope, and never have. I actually haven't had caffeine for 2 months now which is the longest in my life.

Pretty much ditto for me except the weed use and smokes. Weed simply doesn't do it for me. But I sure as hell think it ought to be legal. I quit cigs about 20yrs. ago. One of the best things I ever did. I quit when they went to a buck a pack, thought that was nutz. I have to have coffee in the morning or I don't move well and I like a drink now and then. I'd probably drink more often but I've watched people down here get into the mode of starting in the morning and drinking until they crash, take a nap and start all over at dinner time. I've seen many people go over the edge here. Booze, like any other drug in my opinion, is best in moderation.

Caffeine is the only drug I use. And the only other drugs I've tried in my life are tobacco and alcohol. Nothing illegal.

I've never smoked cigs in my life, but a nice cigar I'll have a couple times a year.
I drink two cups (one big mug) of very strong coffee each morning and really enjoy the taste of that one, and the caffeine jolt, but that's about all I want. On weekends maybe I'll have another in the late afternoon. I almost never drink any "soft drinks" or other sources of caffeine, or sugar. I drink a beer now and then, quite rarely at home, but mostly going out with the guys at work and having a few, or at parties. I would drink more beer since I enjoy tasting all the varieties, but due to calories and my lower activity level I don't want to put on the weight. Same with wine, and an occasional harder drink now and then. When I go out to a nice restaurant I almost always have wine, sometimes a couple beers. For many years...like about 30+ years...I smoked weed virtually every day but a few years ago I decided to stop, mostly because my two boys at home who are now 12 & 13 are too intense to relate to when I'm stoned, plus my concern for being a bad example to them as they became aware of this sort of thing. I have no hesitation blowing a joint or bowl at a party, and I suspect when the kids grow up and move away I would gravitate back to smoking now and then since I find it enjoyable. Many years ago, like when I was a teenager in the mid 1960's and as I got to 30yo or so, I tried all sorts of things, but now I have no interest in that. |

Nick, are you going to have "the talk" about weed with them, present the facts responsibly and what not, or are you going to let them figure it all out for themselves? I ask out of pure curiosity.

That's actually a timely question for me, highdro. About two weeks ago my older boy's locker in middle school was searched and he was also briefly questioned; some of his friends were questioned more extensively; they didn't find anything in my son's locker or on him so he's in the clear so far; since he's seriously into sports and fitness he's not yet inclinded toward recreational drugs yet, though I realize the risk is there in many ways. A couple of my son's acquaintances are being further investigated for suspicion of bringing pot to school and I heard one kid is being expelled. So right after all that I had a talk with them. So far I'm laying down the law from the point of view that it is absolutely illegal, can get them in big trouble in school and with the police and endanger their future in school, sports, other activities they like, and in some cases it leads kids to get involved in much more serious, harmful drugs...so don't do it until you are an adult and can make the judgement for yourself...if you want to talk about it or need help, I'm here. I'm just too familiar with it so I highly doubt they could possibly smoke or get stoned without me recognizing it.

I quit smoking 15 years ago.
I only drink coffee on those long never-ending days at work. I'll smoke weed if there is some available, which is rare. (and am quite happy it has been decriminalized here now. <1oz = civil fine only) Used to drink like a fish but now might have a six pack per month. Never tried any other drugs. |

I am a total psychonaut. I will try anything once, I mean anything, and I have tried most common street drugs. The only ones I've had more bad than good experiences with are the stimulant amphetamines. I also have never and won't shoot anything. My favorites are the entheogens and empathogens.

Yeah well, it's also the most likely to be commercialized. In my opinion, probably the next big "drug craze" as it is a great club drug. As we've seen with MDMA, legal status has little bearing on the popularity of a drug. I'm really wondering what kind of evidence they have that 2C-B is actually harmful. There is a pretty solid basis for toxicity of the amphetamines but 2C-B isn't an amphetamine. The 2C-Ts have a problem, namely that they are mild MAO inhibitors which does not go well in combination with most anything else. But 2C-B has a very high theraputic index and there have been zero recorded deaths from its use.

I have to disagree. If JWH-018 doesn't get scheduled after all this hype about Spice and Zohai, I'm pretty sure it's going to be big. A drug users' subforum of another forum I'm on is getting really into it, and toxicity and mutagenic tendency seem to be low pre-burning (if I had money to burn, I would run the Ames test on byproducts of complete combustion and vaporization to see how that turns out, I'm concerned about aromatic hydrocarbons being released when it burns.)

I drink a fair bit. Wouldn't consider myself an alcoholic, but I like alcohol very much; it remains my drug of choice. And I've tried other legal and not-so-legal substances over the years. I indulge in a cigarette or several from time to time; these tend to coincide with my bouts of unhappiness/moodiness or when I am pretty drunk.
My friends and I all don't understand why governments around the world prohibit the production and consumption of psychedelic drugs, when stuff like alcohol and cigarettes pose clearly documented health risks, to oneself and to others. |

I've done some deep dipping into the ethanol based beverages during my early twenties though not any more. Alcohol lost it's charm after having one to many bad experiences while drunk and after that I've just stopped drinking it.
Tried some weed when I was around fifteen and I can't for the life of me figure out why it is illegal and alcohol is not. I had way less adverse effects and I enjoyed myself a whole lot more on THC than I ever did while drinking beer. Heck I wasn't even hung over after the buzz had died down. Never tried any of the heavier stuff, I've studied the effects of amphetamines and other synthetic/heavily refined drugs on the nervous system and it's not a pretty picture. No way I'd knowingly subject myself to that. Aside from that, I try to get a little adrenaline boost every day just to get the blood flowing (pretty neat that we have this wonderful drug being produced naturally in our bodies).
