I can't say I've pressured someone into their first time, but I've definitely helped plenty of people dig their own hole.
I was just thinking about this, and people will just do what ever it is they wish...right?
I guess...but what if you provide an opportunity? Should you feel guilty about that??
Like say, you kind of tempted someone to party hard and they ended up missing a job interview the next day.
Is that your fault???

I tried nicotine at 16 because I wanted to and had access. I was curious, but I will admit I also wanted to look cool, but that was a secondary consideration. There was also a kind of self harm component to it: I knew it was bad and I wanted to do something bad to myself.
Then came alcohol which was 90% peer pressure. Then came pot which was 100% peer pressure. Then DXM which I sought out because I specifically wanted to experience a truly mind altering drug, and it was legally and easily available. Then finally I sought out psychedelics and ended up finding mushrooms.

Stole tons of booze from my dad, bought cigarettes underage from a place that didn't give a fuck. This was at like 15-16. Didn't try weed til a year later. Took me fuckin forever to make friends that were into drugs. I hung out with all the straight edge hardcore kids in high school even though I shared almost none of their values

Most of my friends who were "straight edge" in those days now are far from it, but there's a good few that have stuck to it. I think I'm still probably the only dude from my old friend group that ever got into psychedelics tho. Most kids who "break edge" only end up becoming binge drinkers/potheads

Yah I was like 10 or 11. Had drank a couple times as my buddy had an older bro that used to find it hilarious to make us get drunk. smoked cigs with some other kids that we stole/rolled cig butts. Keen to try weed after hearing lots about it. Anyways a buddy somehow convinces his 17 yr old brother that he should sell us a joint. He for some reason scraped out his pipe and put all the rez in a big joint. Also made us slam a few shots of vodka before we went to smoke it. We were pretty mangled after half a joint, wandered around until late checking random shit out, being sketchy, laughing histerically and rolling smoke butts. Good first time for sure. Saved the other half a joint for a few months for some reason. After that it was a year or two before I smoked again. Around 14 my mom found out I smoked and brought me clones to grow in the yard. Turned out to be really high test and produced too! Didn't want me spending money on it or dealing with sketch bags. Pretty cool and I grew there 3 seasons. One time 18 plants too. Shared around/gifted a bunch of it. Good times and a good attitude about it on her part. Mushrooms, blow & MDMA I tried around 15-16. Super strong LSD around 17.

yeah, it was a big deal to edge kids back in the day when one of their own "broke edge" by drinking beer or smoking pot, thereby "breaking their vows". You could usually expect to get your ass kicked by your friends if they found out.
Maybe I just hung out with a bunch of dumb ass straight edge kids.

I've posted this before and idk if people think it's a joke but the D.A.R.E. Program taught me there was substances out there that make you feel good,sedate you,chill you out,seeing things colorful patterns and hallucinations. I loved the idea as soon as I found out drugs were a thing pretty much. My earliest DARE class was when I was 12, that next summer I begged my big brother to get me high. I wanted top shelf weed immediately and that first high was a trip literally . Extremely psychedelic and I've strived for more enlightenment until I was about 20
I have an opiate addiction,benzos addiction,anti insomnia addiction and I still use paychedelics
Drugs and I have had an abusive relationship but if I'm ever sober it's not going to be for long

I never did any substances because of pressure from friends, I have always been an explorer.

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted drugs. I remember seeing the "Nobody says they want to be a junkie when they grow up," and the "This is your brain on drugs" commercials and thinking that drugs would be cool. I mostly wanted to try acid when I first learned about drugs. It sounded like a fun adventure to me.
The first drug I ever tried was weed in 4th grade. My friends brother let me take a hit. I don't think I got high, but can't really remember the experience. Then I didn't smoke again until 6th or 7th grade and didn't start smoking regularly until 16 or 17yrs old. Around the age of 13 I got some painkillers and loved them.

weed at 7-8yo technically, my older half sister gave it to me, then weed with my brother and friends at 12yo, LSD at 14 once and quit smoking weed at 15 until 17-18. Got drunk once at 14 too, hated it and never drank until 19yo. Then I found speed, coke and LSD again. Never went to a rehab and never did heroin (knowingly), I despise opiates though. If it made me awake/up/trip I wanted it! So not really pressured, I did seek out LSD, I idolized the doors/jim morrison and read no one here gets out alive when I was 13-14. psychedelics still intrigue me. No drinking problem either.

I wouldn't say pressured as much as simply offered.

I was complacently corrupted when it came to weed and booze.
With psychedelics I had always been intrigued, the idea of altered consciousness was incredibly interesting to me for a long time and I explored the idea, read about it online. My one bf I had at a teenager wanted to trip on acid with me at his friend's house but I was still uninformed, naive and wary, and it really just never came to pass - probably for the best, because when someone did offer me some(after I expressed an interest a couple months prior to that, offhand) and I took them up on it I felt ready and it was a harrowing, but incredibly positive experience in the end. Would not change a thing.
