Do you ever regret taking drugs?

Any kind of drug that changed your outlook on life. If given the chance, would you stop yourself from ever doing them? Despite the good times, I feel as if I have wasted a great amount of my life.

No. I liked my life before drugs, but I lived in a bubble.
And I would sacrifice a life of ignorant happiness for the larger perspective that drugs have given me.
I also consider myself a responsible drug user, I never really have any problems caused by drugs.

I regret heavily smoking pot.
I started with no problems in moderation, smoking only once or twice every 3-4 months when I first started. Somehow, one of my "friends" (turned out in the end he was a douche) convinced me that the coolest people in our town were stoners. Not just the coolest, but the only respectable people. Unfortunately, I was a heavy heavy smoker before I realized that was bullshit. Most pot smokers are cool, and a bunch of heavy stoners are cool enough too, but it made me lazy and fuzzy headed, and I still haven't quite kicked that habit. I smoke far less now, but my head isn't nearly as clear as it was pre-stonerage, and my motivation has suffered permanent damage.

I've always used them responsibly, but some of my friends really went down the shitter.
I got them into smoking pot and once they overcame that "I'm scared of drugs" mindset they tried anything and everything under the sun, from gasoline, meth, and even frion.

I regret taking LSD as early as I did, I wasn't ready for something like that by far. That's the only drug I regret taking.
And it's not even the drug itself that I regret, it's just the bad timing.

I didn't start smoking till my late sophomore year of high school, so I had already built up some much needed maturity. Basically, I already had something to lose, and that kept me in check pretty much (except for a few binges).

I don't regret any of my drug experiences, but at the same time I really could've done without all the crack and coke (I don't touch either anymore). I really could've saved a lot of money too.
I experimented with meth in highschool, and I don't regret it, because now I know what a shitty drug meth is.
Of course there were those times on the peak of 7 grams mushrooms, where I regretted taking so much and thought I'd slip into an irreversible insanity. A couple of times after coming down, I wanted to quit all drugs, because they're soooooo heavy sometimes.

Our stories are pretty close, but I regret more starting as young as I did than anything else. I had no idea wtf I was getting into. My motivation has been perma-fucked too, but my thoughts no longer feel so clouded. I started smoking around 12, and I haven't smoked in roughly six months, but I still fight urges for that shit daily. (I'm 19 btw.)
But that's only weed, I haven't even gotten into my spiral with alcohol and coke.

I regret doing cocaine for a year out of my life
I was never SUPER addicted but I was doing it frequently and in somewhat decent sized amounts. basically its what the people I hung out with at the time did, they got me into it had fun for a while, threw a lot of money away and my grades in HS dropped a tad because of it.
I also have the feeling that it brought out the anxiety/ocd problem that I really had a big problem with in 2006-2007 I've finally gotten over it and have trained my brain to let things go. I still have anxiety and ocd but in much less intensity. I am able to live life without it really bothering me
just one day I stopped doing it, and that was like 2 and a half years ago decided I wanted to go to college and make something of myself
wow sorry for the ramble

How early?
I regret binging on DXM to the extent that I did between 17 and 19 years old. Although I was never busted (except for a minor intox), I in some way regret all of the dumb decisions I made while high. Some of those decisions were just downright risky.

heroin, thats the only drug i regret doing.
as bad as i got with alcohol, which was pretty horrible(frequent blackouts, fucked up relationships, kicked out of college, the list goes on.....) i still think i learned from it.
i've kicked my ridiculous alcohol habit, but i'm still a junkie. started only around 3 months ago and i'm already deep into it. do it everyday, and not small quantities either. i regret ever taking it and regret some of the things i've done to pay for it. i start rehab next week though so we'll see what happens

I regret abusing (heck, even using) prescription drugs. Other than that, not really. There have been times (coming up on shrooms) when I thought "wish I didn't take those", but not as a whole do I regret it.
