Tis the season! Review the year 2013 for us in terms of advances in your drug career.

2013 has been a good year for me, drugswise.
I decided to finally give up Empathogenic drugs, and I also quit smoking successfully and I quit caffeine. Cannabis is on the decrease with less than 1/8 of a gram, smoked all year.
Psychedelic drugs are steady in use, with on average one usage in 2 months like its been for most of the 2o years I have been using.
Methoxetamine is on the increase, but also recently I had the longest hiatus (3 months) that I had since I started in 2011 and this was eventless. Monthly average this year was about 1 gram of MXE.
Alcohol is on the increase to about 3-4 consumptions a week.
So how was 2013 in your drug career?

I've basically cut out alcohol, with probably less than a gallon consumed all year. Cannabis is daily, and will continue to be. I recently discovered kratom, which I plan to continue using regularly.
The beginning of the year consisted of a lot of DMT. I have about 2 doses left that I'm saving for a rainy day.
Tried mescaline for the first time this year too. Hopefully I'll get some more experience with this in 2014.
I did mushrooms twice, and have every intention to do some shrooms next year too, maybe more times.
I plan to start off 2014 with LSZ, provided it makes it through customs.

Alcohol has increased significantly, as I turned 21 in March.
Cannabis briefly increased for the spring and summer, but has decreased significantly since October.
Lots of acid, a little mdma and mushrooms.
I've been in a bit of an on and off again relationship with a lot of different psych meds this year, unfortunately, which means that I only feel comfortable dosing psychs after a week or preferably two off any drugs that stimulate seratonin.

Methoxetamine has been on the increase for me as well. Recently a bit too much, though I seem to be starting to get that under control.
Cannabis use has vastly decreased for me recently, though that's because of the MXE increase (I find the two don't play very well together except in small amounts). I expect to start smoking a fair amount of weed again when I go back to work in the spring, but I'm ok with that.
I may have finally managed to give up opiates. Been struggling with them for about 3 years. The last time I let myself become physically dependent was spring 2013. I managed to get it somewhat under control, but was still using heroin 2 or 3 times a week until late November. I'm a little over a month clean from them now, which is the longest I've gone since I started.
Gave up cigarettes, because for me they only go hand-in-hand with opiates and stimulants. I'll smoke up to 2 packs a day when I'm using those drugs. But since I quit opiates I stopped smoking cigs as well, I'm lucky that I've never found them to be particularly addictive on their own. Last cig was somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks ago.
I did a lot of tripping this fall. Mostly 2c-c, 5-MeO-DiPT, AL-LAD, and LSZ. I'm happy I found LSZ this year. Will be exploring that one more in the future.
tl;dr, polydrug abuse balancing act hooray. But the important thing is no more opiates

I have slowed my psychedelic intake quite a bit (sadly) about once or twice a month. Started the year though with a bang tripping on good L almost everyweek sometimes 2-4 times a week LOL (yikes!) and lots of ketamine. MDMA was a constant over the summer.
Last new years I gave up methamphetamine...
About 4 weeks ago i used again...

been using weekly.
pretty mad at my self. Been medicating a lot with opiates when not tweaking. This has kinda been a secret life for me for a while. I started using drugs out of honest healthy curiosity and when I found psychedelics I was enthusiastic and pretty darn healthy about it. I used then in personal settings mostly with ritual and close friends and learned a lot. Strangely enough, it was really only after i started having breakthrough spiritual experiences did drugs like meth and opiates become a serious temptation and now i have to admit a compulsion. I take them even when the smarter voice inside says it's not a good idea.
I feel that it has something to do with the shattering nature of some of these experiences. It's really difficult to deal with those levels of empathy and openness when "real life" is structured the way it is.
I love you shroomery and I really appreciate the opportunity to share my self.
sometimes I just get a feeling like i wish i could start over. Or have all this shit scraped out of my memory. I wish i didn't know what a hot-rail felt like. lol.

No mushrooms this year :/
Alcohol intake has slightly decreased from last year. Cannabis Normal I took saliva the first time last week by myself. Very interesting, 2014 probably shows signs that I might actually grow some.
Hard Drugs and Pharmaceuticals down to ZERO. Nothing! It is glorious.
I don't do caffeine very much unless I'm riding my bike.
Nicotine has been a pain for me this year...wife wants me to quit. I will babe! shit get off my back... lol 
2014 looks very VERY promising!

Finally got to try lsd. Definitely worthwhile.
Alcohol is steady. Weed is going down but I am working on fixing that.
I haven't done shrooms at all really.
MDMA i got to try for the first time, it was cool. Would do it again, it's too hard to comedown though.

Did a fair amount of MDA/MDMA, although I'm planning on cutting down in 2014 as I feel it really messes with my mood/brain.
Ketamine...jeez. I did a good amount of ketamine. Too expensive though (100/g where I'm from..I know, outrageous). I plan on stopping that altogether.
I may experiment with MXE if I can get my hands on it.
Have been cutting down on weed/concentrates lately. Haven't smoked in a week and plan on smoking sparingly as I'm trying to get a big boy job and not be lazy.
LSD will always be my problem child as will mushrooms. Whenever they come around, I feel like they come around for a reason.
Alcohol is consumed 4 days a week usually and will probably continue (I love craft beer).
Plan on not taking any benzos/opiates at all especially because some of my friends have some problems with those.
Adderall for exams, but that's about it.
No more cocaine. I get way too high anxiety off that shit and it puts a hole in my pocket.
I'm trying to hit up a bunch of music festivals and stick to the classic psychedelics. You know, expand my mind. Find inner peace.
I am HIGHLY interested in vaping DMT and trying mescaline, although I can't find either anywhere around me and am not sure if I want to do crude extractions.

Yah, forgot to mention my intentions with mescaline and DMT, that's all being saved for 2014, though. I've tried neither yet, but I do have a connect so.. I would like to try MXE eventually, but that's very low on my priority list right now, unless it falls into my lap(which I don't think it will.)
I have to plan each trip out now so that I can abstain from my wellbutrin long enough to not have a grand mal seizure in the middle of my trip or something, but it's alright - tripping more than once every other month seems to lessen the meaning for me. My friend has a great connect for cocaine, but I just don't wanna fuck with it, I can't afford a coke habit.
Honestly my resolution is to cut down on drinking and on pharmaceuticals, exercise more, and basically stick to good old fashioned buds except for 1-2x a week for drinking in a social setting. Weed is no problem as long as I use it to unwind at the end of the day(after everything that has to get done is done, cuz I definitely get lazier).
I forgot about the benzos, the pharma speed, and brief opiate usage(mainly prescribed, as I don't like to fuck with it too much).

weed usage has been pretty much nonexistent this year. I havent smoked since april
I got to try MXE this year and will definitely have to have more experiences with that.
DXM use was sporadic the first part of the year but increased during the second half of the year. I wanna give doing dxm a break though.

I got real MDMA for the first time this year and abused it by taking it 3 times in a month. I've taken 2 months off right now and do not plan on abusing it again.
Been taking mxe about once a month.
Been smoking weed off and on. I probably need to take a long break but it's the one drug I always come back to.
I only tripped a couple times this year but I plan on more this year.

I had a few milestones this year, I was taking lots of lsd for many months on a psychedelic pilgrimage of sorts but lost a pure cheap source of lucy in april. I haven't tripped since april and I've realized I used to use it constantly in hopes of further enlightenment but if you want truly deep experiences you have to wait a month or so between trips. Like the shamans, - 1 month. Other then that I have stopped drinking as much which is good but it definitely fluctuates (I'm tipsy right now lol). Also due to budget constraints I have limited my weed use but it's hard with my medical issues. Another milestone I had was pretty damn pure molly for the first time. It was cool but I only had like a .1 and it helped me resolve a lot of social issues, more would've done wonders but I didn't have the opportunity . This year was nice but I miss psychedelics so much I cant imagine myself not tripping next year

Took LSD for the first time. Tripped 3 times during year. Curious to try a solitary, more introspective trip - perhaps in darkness.
Took shrooms only once. Don't really have a good history with shrooms so these remain difficult. Would like to gain some comfort with these, as their availability and price can't be beaten, for me.
Have MDMA on hand but yet to try. Considering attending my first festival (Rainbow Serpent) and maybe using there.
I've seriously cut back on weed and, while I miss it, it's been so good. I wish I could use it without it (negatively) impacting my mental and social abilities - then I'd be using it more.
Tried Kava (Kava) for the first time. I loved it. If it weren't so expensive here in Australia, I'd be having it a lot more.
Started brewing my own beer, as an interest/hobby, so I've been consuming more - but often with friends. I never take alcohol too far - so, my consumption is quite moderate when I do partake, I'd say. Would like to start selling more to friends (cheap), as I brew more and hone the art.
Not exactly a drug, but Omega 3 (EPA/DHA) seems to have been the most important chemical for me this year. I take 1200mg EPA and 600mg each day. This seems to have helped a lot with my mental health. I'll continue with this dosage, I think.

As of New Years, It'll be a whole year without Synthnoids.
Bud use has been daily, but that's nothing new.
I didn't get a chance to use any Shrooms this year, which 
I've been drinking a lot more regularly this year. I finally discovered that Alcohol can be enjoyed without getting trashed 
My love affair with pharmaceutical stimulants was rekindled this year. I honestly don't think I could have gotten through my first couple of weeks at work without them.
Though I've tried Kratom a few times, I started using it more frequently in the last couple of months.
Molly fueled my first ever three-way, which was one of the more memorable moments of the year 
Oh, and I tried Liquid G, but have no comment on it.

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.
