What's your drug-use like?

I'm curious as to what the health-concious people who visit this forum's drug-use is like — of course, the idea that drugs are bad for you is a myth...most of the popular ones, at least.
I'm an occaisonal pot-smoker/mushroom user, but only occaisonal because of my shitty connections. That'll change.
I'm mainly interested in psychedelics — especially mescaline and acid. I'm also really fascinated by opium and heroin. Cocaine intrigues me too. Good-quality marijuana is just awesome. You can use it so liberally and it just gives you waves of cool effects.

I don't use much at all these days. No weed, alcohol, coffee, tobacco. Only thing I use at this point that most people would consider a drug is ayahuasca, and I only use it once a year or so. I'm also interested in mescaline cacti, I'm sure I'll get around to trying them eventually.
I get my kicks out of mood-elevating tonic herbs. Korean ginseng, fo-ti, reishi, rhodiola, siberian ginseng, maral root, ashwagandha, schisandra berries, gotu kola, suma, goji berry, cordyceps, etc. I'll throw anywhere between two and ten herbs in the slow cooker, leave them in there overnight. Drink the mixture over the next week or so. Trying to find my perfect mix for enchancing mood, energy, workouts, cognition, life-span etc. It's fun but a bit expensive.

I smoke weed pretty much every night. It's a nice way to end the day and helps me sleep most of the time. I also love shrooms and acid
Like Neon, I also use a ton of herbs, including many of the ones the he mentioned. Additions are Kava, Bacopa Monniera, Astragalus root, ashwagandha, and probably some other's I'm forgetting.
A mixture of ginseng, fo-ti, and gotu-kola taken with Apple Cider Vinegar, Honey, and Cinnamon three times a day makes me feel healthy beyond belief.
Neon, if you don't use Maca, I would suggest it. It may add that "kick" to your mixture that you seem to be looking for. Don't take any less than 10g a day, though, as most supplement companies would have you do. A great place to get it from is rootofthematter.ca, as they have many of the other herbs you buy for sale as well. The website presents itself very unprofessionally, but I've bought from them numerous times and have no complaints. The owner, Ken, is very friendly and helpful too.

Been a long while since I tried maca, I should give it another shot. I have some of the 17:1 extract from rootofthematter, strong stuff. I'm wondering if the raw powder works better, but the extract sure is a lot easier to work with.

ha, i had suspected you've come into contact with rootofthematter before, what with you talking about maral root, shisandra berried, and goji berries. Especially the maral root, as that's the only place I've ever found it for sale.
You must be referring to Maca Monster, eh? I've only used the raw powder, and I really like it.
I'm allergic to cordyceps unfortunately At least I think I am. I burp up the taste every time I take it, which I've read is a sign of being allergic. So I stopped taking it and I still have two huge bottles of it.
Maral root gives me lots of energy. What exactly are your thoughts about both the shisandra berries and the goji berries? also what are your thoughts on suma? i've not read about that one much.
Edit: actually Neon, if you could PM me, that'd be great. I feel like I've jacked this thread enough lol

as bizarre as this may sound, i put off all psychedelics for good because it fills me with so much inspiration it becomes delusional (seriously). this is the reason i stick only to hard drugs. usually i score them once a week or something, and then go crazy for 2 days on the weekend or something and then im back to normal. the rest of the week i take prescription pills to sleep. the way i use now, could be comparative to somebody who likes to attend fraternity parties and get shitfaced for 2 days. its a huge stress reliever.

MUCH less now
It used to be five bowls at minimum per week, and almost always with a mushroom trip, and god only knows how many cigarettes
Now it's like two bowls a week if I'm lucky, but tobacco use has tripled

I'm pretty much sober throughout the week besides taking 5HTP and Korean Ginseng 3 times a day. On one day of the week, usually Friday or Saturday, I'll usually smoke a bowl or two with a friend and have a few drinks. I haven't had any psychedelics in about 6 months.
I don't consider myself very health conscious at the moment however. My diet is pretty random, I eat a mix of bad food and healthy food and intense exercise has become sporadic.

I am a heavy drug user by most peoples standards. I rarely go a single day without at least a threshold dose of something. I have a prescription for 10mg d,l-amphetamine 3x daily (Adderall), so even if I have not taken any recreational drugs I have at least taken 10-20mg of amphetamine to wake up in the morning. I order poppy pods online, so I drink poppy tea every few days. If I am bored on a weekend evening I will occasionally take dxm, 300mg, unless I have decided to suffer the side effects of a 3rd plateau, in that case I take 600-700mg. Every few months I order research chemicals and pure pharmaceuticals online, usually 2C-E or 2C-B, and for the pharm I get alprazolam (Xanax). Some people would consider my use to be abuse due to the quantities consumed regularly. Although I have become dependent on amphetamine once (60mg a day weekdays 80-120mg daily on weekends), I quit cold turkey and abstained for 2 months.
So to answer your question my drug use is constant.

I like psychedelics...don't like pot. Beer is ok...and I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE opiates.

I smoke about a half ounce a week. I only do shrooms about 2 times a year. And once a month around the 15th I go hang out with my bud and we score a 20 of coke and 4 dimes of brown, I drop the customary half-the-20 rail of coke while doing 90 down the highway while he's holding the cd case. Then we make it back to my house a little later and do the brown.
Other than that if drugs fall into my lap I can never say no, but I don't ever go out and look for them.

Maybe like two or three times a year I'll smoke ganj. Not a huge fan but I enjoy it on super special occassions.
Mushrooms... probably up to 3, maybe 5 times MAX a year.
Mushrooms are pretty sacred to me so I like to keep their frequency down.
I used to do a lot of other shit that I'm not too happy about but with my usage now, I can say that I'm pretty happy. I get drug tested so obviously I can't smoke all the time, but fungus won't show up just in case they want to be sneaky.

For the past year or so, I've only smoked pot once every week or month, but it's been almost daily lately. I found that alcohol + pot + 2 diff OTC sleep meds + xanax is a good way to get to sleep fast. I usually just end up standing up, saying "I'm tired," and head straight to bed once it all hits me.
Shrooms - have tripped 4 times and have had some in possession for over a year Pot - once every day, lately Alcohol - everyday, I finish a 1.75L of liquor a week not including beer drinkage 2CT2 - Not in the past 6 months, but having a phen-fest coming up soon  Opiates - Not addicted, but whenever I come across some. In the past couple years, I've had oxys after a car accident, hydrocodones after a friend noticed I was in a lot of pain when my oxycodone speedily ran out and gave me a free bottle , shot up an oxy, and this week 650 more oxy Tried poppy tea but it never worked for me. LSD - very soon  DXM - once every 6 months, or more? Haven't done it much since the 1-2 month binge of 2005. Salvia - tried 5x once, nothing, tried 13x a few years later...felt it that time. I've had some plants growing for about a year and haven't had the urge to make any extracts yet. DMT - psychotria viridis growing hope to extract Benzos - my daily couple alprazolam plan on quitting this habit soon Cigarettes - at least a pack a day, plan to quit soon (doesn't everyone...just one more pack)
I get intoxicated almost daily but I don't consider myself a drug abuser. I use a variety of "soft" drugs and am not addicted to anything

Instead of just laughing, why don't you post a link to a report of someone dying at a very young age due to cocaine-use. Cocaine's a really common drug, so I'm sure it won't be too hard for you to find a report.

you won't die from coke, but if you use it daily, you most likely will have heart problems later on in life.

ok well have u ever done it? I have, it speeds up ur heart rate and makes u fuckkin flip out for a few hours. your telling me that cocaine is perfectly safe for you to use. And if so then is it ok for people with heart conditions. If u say yes to either of these things u are wrong.

Maybe it's fine in smaller doses than what you've done. And maybe it's not safe for people with heart conditions, but, then again, neither is running. But running isn't remotely bad for healthy individuals, so maybe cocaine, at certain doses, isn't remotely bad for healthy individuals either.

I don't smoke pot anymore. I don't do coke or speed(though I used to have a prescription for dexedrine). I'm not into opiates or benzos, though every once in a while I'll do some Vicodin if someone has any, and I'll take a Xanax if I have trouble sleeping. I enjoy an occasional beer, wine, or mixed drink, but I don't like hard liquor anymore. I'm not really much of a smoker, but sometimes I think about going to some tobacco store and getting some pipe tobacco. The only drugs I'm really into are psychedelics and E. Unfortunately, I sometimes find it hard to handle psychedelics, so I try to only do low doses these days. And I haven't seen any E for months.

I drink alcohol to get drunk once or twice each week. I smoke cigarettes when I drink and every now and then when sober. I do not eat mushrooms or other psychs and don't smoke weed. I really enjoy pills (opiates) and it's a good thing I don't get them very often because I have little self control when it comes to droogs. Poppy garden flowering in the spring should be interesting!
I used to be on a health conscious tip but now I eat hot dogs, chili, lots of meat, drink more sugary drinks and darker beer and only do some maintenance excercises to keep my body fit looking though I'm not fit at all. I'm 22 and I'm not planning for longevity!
