My alcohol intake has stayed pretty constant being a college student and all. But I never crave alcohol, I only drink when going out with friends.
Weed has been off the charts. I haven't smoked in over a week though which is nice. Planning on cutting that down a bit and getting in good shape, even though I know I'll probably turn back to it when I realize how boring being sober with a lot of free time is.
2013 opened the door to psychedelics for me. I wanna keep this up, probably at the same rate as I've been doing 'em (3 or 4 times a year).
Everything else is just random fun. Overall, not a bad year except for some streaks of excessive smoking.

I took a large amount of ketamine on two separate occasions, re-ignited my love affair with MDMA, tried 2C-P, and took some acid.
I've experimented with ketamine a bit in the past, but always taken it pretty easy with small bumps instead of big lines, taking my time with my supply. So I never got that high on it. This year, however, I got shown the ropes by more experienced users at a couple of festivals. A great drug to be on when you're around a lot of strangers at a festive event. It reduces my scope of awareness to the point that there is nothing to distract me from the flow of expressions and ideas in the little island universe surrounding me. People will be telling me stories and it'll be playing out like a movie in my head. Dynamite, first-rate stuff, but I'm taking it easy with developing any habits. Seems like an experience that could be tarnished with abuse. I also can't really see how its effects would be desirable in the context of solitary or regular use, as the only effect I've noticed aside from the cool sharpening of the social experience is a a loss of muscle coordination which is surprisingly extreme contrast to the sense of clarity at the mental end of things.
MDMA, what can I say? I've never been a major user of this stuff; my opinion of it has been through ups and downs. At this point one year ago I would have said that MDMA sucks. For some reason, I don't think that anymore. MDMA is great and it makes me feel great. I still don't take it more than once every couple months, but on those occasions I do it with gusto and appreciation. I no longer spend half the experience reminding myself that I'm on a drug that will be wearing off soon, as I have in the past. Like with the ketamine, it's possible my enjoyment of this drug in the past has been tempered by a not-exactly-problematic excess of caution as I eased into deeper waters. Now I find myself more inclined to let loose and get swept away by the experience rather than to chop it to pieces with my self-conscious analysis.
2C-P is one fucked-up drug. I erred on the side of fuck caution when I tried my first dose of this drug, and went a few milligrams beyond the far end of the range listed in PiHKAL. In the past I'd always found 2C-E quite tolerable with this type of dose, and it's supposed to have a pretty mean dose-response curve itself, but this is dwarfed by 2C-P's curve. As soon as that phenethylamine solution hit my guts I began a puke session that lasted several hours, followed by a night and a bit of morning holding onto my big teddy bear for dear life. It was a certified death trip, I was excruciatingly conscious of my body being a sophisticated but crucially flawed machine. I had recently learned that my uncle was set to die of cancer very soon, so this disturbing reality loomed darkly over the whole experience as I was forced to confront it from the angle of a frightened child navigating her own mortal vessel. I like to think this experience was cathartic, but as always is the problem with describing intense emotional experiences with psychedelics, there is no control me to make comparisons with. All I know for sure is that my uncle has since died, and I miss him. He is described by my mother and her sisters as a very prickly man, but I always found him pleasant and amusing. I wish I'd gotten to spend more time with him before he left us.

Alcohol- became a moderate drinker
Mushrooms- overindulged, but helped me become a moderate drinker
Cocaine- overindulged, got addicted but have not used in months
DMT- overindulged, but it was worth it
Marijuana- stopped using because all my money went to cocaine
Right now I am drug free besides for the occasional alcohol use. I am now more experienced with the harmful effects of certain drugs.

Now that I'm getting older, my drug usage has dropped dramatically. I smoked pot maybe 4 times this year. I tried meth for the first time. Friend of mine just gave me some coke. That's it for this year. I think I'm more or less done with psychs, have been for about 2 or 3 years.

Basically I now use Kratom , weed and etizolam regularly, and MXE rarely sporadically and occasionally. I smoke the e cig on occasion and usually drink one coffee a day and 2-3 green teas. I take lots of supplements like l theanine, valerian root , kava and passionflower that are mildly psychoactive In their own right .
Basically weed, coffee, Kratom and etizolam and occasional beer or red wine in moderation. Is my total repetoire. Rid some MDMA rcently but that is very rare once every 4 months say.
Would do some DMT if I could find it and want to get modafinil and gabapentin.

I began the year drinking heavily. Switched to heavy DXM use during the spring and summer. During that time I used DXM at least 3 times a week, sometimes as many as 5 days in a row, until I reached a point where I needed to take at least 900mg in order to get a decent effect, and sometimes I was taking twice that much. I began mixing DXM with synthetic marijuana and would achieve what were, in my experience, the most "far out", intense drug experiences I have ever had. I would be completely, 100% dissociated from my body, just a mind existing in/as a singularity, or in/as infinite space- to me, during those experiences, infinity and singularity felt like the same thing. I would sometimes have complete creative control over the existential objects of my "environment", such that I felt I was an autocatalytic Autogenes of my own universe. These universes did not obey the laws of physics that govern the one in which morrowasted lives; neither did I create those laws- I was subjected to them, and they were often different. The experiences felt very much like playing a completely immersive virtual reality video game.
In late September I took DXM and had a very painful sensation in the area near my liver and felt like my body was burning up. I was getting a lot of warnings from people I told about my use that I was damaging myself cognitively, even if I couldn't recognize it in myself. I did notice that my speech had become a bit delayed and I had developed a mild stutter. I quit taking DXM, but couldn't put down the synthetic pot. I did cut back significantly, though.
In late November I took a very high dose of 25i-nBOME in combination with a brand of synthetic cannabis called "Diablo" and had the most unpleasant experience of my entire life. I felt like all of my veins were exploding; like my brain was on fire; like my kidneys were failing; like my muscles were trying to come out of my skin; like my heart was going to beat out of my chest. I could not move at all in order to call 911 or else I would have.
I quit cigarettes in November.
After that I just quit taking mind-altering substances. I may occasionally take something like Kratom in the future, but even of that I am unsure. I find that the world is filled with natural highs, and I am now more interested in developing my interests and in living a life of variety and substance than in using a variety of substances- something to which I have devoted a large portion of the last 9 years of my life. I have taken it all, basically, from Weed to Datura to Heroin to LSD to Methpamphetamine to Crack-Cocaine to Shrooms to Ketamine to 25i-nBOME to Mescaline to AM-2201 (not to mention dozens of other substances), and I am satisfied enough that there is not going to be any drug that does something so uniquely different from what I've already experience that I need to go try it. I would rather try skydiving, or starting a family, or speaking in front of a thousand people.

2013 was an interesting year for me.
I didn't use psychedelics in 2013. This is the first year I've gone without psychedelics in... Well, a few years anyway. Maybe as many as 4-5 years. I feel a lot psychologically healthier. The persisting visual effects I had (mostly minor pattering, swirling/spiraling, and color cycling) are all about 95% gone. I'm very happy about that. Overall, I'm happy to have taken this break from psychedelics.
My nicotine use skyrocketed unfortunately, but at the end of November I quit. I haven't touched a cigarette in 4 weeks, and I barely ever get cravings anymore. It feels great to have my life back.
My alcohol use has increased back to it's normal levels after barely drinking at all in 2012. I drink about once every 2 weeks, and normally at least a couple beers, if not more. I'm fairly happy with this arrangement because it does only happen about once every two weeks.
My pot use has remained at a constant extremely low level which is normal for me.
My stimulant use went down in dose, but maintained the same frequency. I'm happy with the decrease in dose, however. It allows me to conserve my supply, and is probably healthier.
I tried no new drugs in 2013 which is very different from 2011-2012 when I must have tried 9 or so. On the one hand, I regret missing out on all the new RCs, but on the other hand I needed a break.

2013 was full of lots of drugs, I became pretty normalized to daily marijuana smoking since starting in 2009, and was getting drunk about once a week or less Earlier this year.
I did a lot of rc's this year, most for my first time.
Have gotten more into stimulants, though not the biggest fan. Used to be prescribed when I was younger.
Took a lot of different acid this year, especially this last summer.
Tried mescaline from a San Pedro extraction I did, was first time.
I have learned a lot about how I want to use drugs from this year. I want to continue to lower my drinking which is at an all time low now and probably lower pot use a bit though Its not causing any issues even at about a gram a day.
I got over my phase of liking to do acid all the fucking time, that was like a 2-3 year phase....
I'm more interested in what stronger less recreational doses have to offer, in less frequent occurrences. Ayahuasca or oral dmt is of interest, I recently got quite a bit of spice to give it a whirl.
