Horrible/Amazing drug experiences

[joeki]

maybe a relevant question. How old were all of you when you started taking hard drugs?

My first experience was at 16 years old and had been smoking weed at that point for over a year (it is a gateway drug in my experience).
But I really didn't start messing about until I was out of high school.

Maybe we can all be a good example for young Sonika here?

I should note that I don't do any hard drugs any more at this point in my life also.

"Don't rush to be grown... drive slow, homie...."

heh, kanye's the man


I mean that's really scary so I guess I have to be careful, but the question is, will occasional use fuck me up long term?

I really like how they make me feel, I find the feelings, thoughts, and experiences that I encounter when I'm on them to be amazing, and the shared experience of doing them with friends is really fun. I don't know why I'm so attracted to these substances, but I am and I really would rather not have to wait until I'm 20 or so to experiment with them

It's not even about rushing to grow up for me, I love being a kid. I just think these drugs and the experiences they give you are amazing and I guess I'm just sort of impatient? I don't know. I guess now I've opened the door and it's difficult to close it, knowing what they're like

btw, are shrooms a "hard" drug?

"Heeeyyyy, do you want some of this?" *shoves key under nostril*

This really got me thinking about that night I mentioned here...

I didn't do a line of Ket - and I didn't get a bump...

That dude had some sort of automatic bumper - I remember now!!

Is there such a thing as an automatic bumper thing - cylindrical and curved - like on a keychain !!??

wow

In my experience legal highs are fucking horrible

not those gay pills you buy from weird hippy shops, but all that chemically engineered Japanese powder

i dunno what i did the once, but it was some like nmda1az or sumut

swear i didnt come down for like 3 days and towards the end i thought i was gonna be like that forever, was awake for probably 50+ hours and was basically in tears for half of it

was the worst buzz ever i was just wired and prang to fuck

seriously, stick to illegal drugs, they're better for you

Never tried the Japowder, but I have bought scooby snacks from a hippie shop. They were basically mushrooms ground up with ginseng and other hippie crap. They were pretty awesome, we just had a fire on the beach and drank beer, left you feeling high but never out of control. And there was no hangover or mush brain the next day.

[joeki]

yeah speaking of diarrhoea, next day shits were always a problem for me.

[lovelydivot]

OH SHIT!! THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE!!! Under Ketamine Paraphanalia on google!
That's what ruined my night !!

DON'T DO IT !!LOL!!




I WAS IN A STAIRWELL!!! I REMEBER IT CLEARLY NOW!!

well - I don't remember it clearly - BUT I REMEMBER PARTS OF IT!!

Can someone wiser and more responsible than me please pull Sonika the fuck up on that last post.

Another time my buds and I dropped acid and as it started to hit us we were driving by a graveyard we were listening to U2-streets have no name. We were all commenting on how it sounded so good and could picture like a movie scene where a boxer is training hard and remembering his dead coach buried in said graveyard.
Then we went to an arcade and video games we knew seemed uncontrollable, kept thinking there were people watching me play laughing their asses off but when I turn around the place is empty cept for my other 3 friends playing their own games.
Then we were going to see a movie and as we were sitting around waiting for it to start some guy wearing a toque to big for his head and those croc sandles in the middle of snowy December comes up to us and says "hey I know you" were all like yeah ookkkaayy, he says "yeah I know you I'm Jesus" It was trippy as fuck interacting with him. He had an old walkman with the old school foam headphones and let us listen to his old school hardcore which sounded awesome. Good times

the connection with the music is truly amazing. Every time the music change, the entire character of your trip changes. I had made a 7 hour playlist of chill tunes to play for the trip so it lasted me more than enough time, and I had my bed laid out in the middle of the floor with the lights dimmed and the curtains drawn and my KRKs on either side of me playing the tunes in sweatpants and a baggy t shirt, it was crazy. I have a native american rug with these sick designs that came alive when I looked at them, every time I ran my eyes over them they changed into something completely different.

It was strange, enlightening, exciting, interesting, and an incredibly positive experience. No real negatives except for once, a couple hours in, I got up and looked in the mirror and decided to open my mouth really wide for some reason, at which point my teeth became spiked and my ears became pointy and i became demonic for a second so i flipped out and hid under my covers for a second but I was good within 10 seconds haha

What a load of shit

17 years later - a bit of my memory returns...


I hate Kanye West.

[ninjadog]

This other time waiting for acid to kick in my friend thought he should eat a quick snack , you know how you loose your appetite on LSD. Anyway orders 15 chicken wings thinking they could make it fast. Well like half an hour later were starting to peak by now he forgot he was hungry or ordered food, and a big ass plate of 50 wings show up, the server misunderstood him and he was now too fucked up to say anything. 50 hot wings on LSD looks horrifying. We tried to dig in but every bite took like 2 minutes to chew and just felt so wrong.

lol i love this thread. although i myself am a bit of a wuss i don't have many stories other than your usual weed smoking. but i did try salvia once and it was horrible. completely detached from the real world and a lot of anxiety

Oh and Sonika, Listen to Magma on this one.

I think you are probably fine to dabble in certain things a few times a year [disclaimer*:don't be dumb about it though], But at your age (not to sound patronizing in any way), you should mellow out what you consume and how much. The odd shroom trip , or clean bit of mandy at that age can't be that bad, (didnt have either of those myself till i was at least 19 i think ) Just wait a few years till you dive head first in to any of it all and always do it for the right reasons,,,balancing learning and having a good time. Like magma said, think of your Brain and what it is still doing. Still plenty of circuits being formed that you shouldn't really be in any rush to start re-wiring too soon.

most people are happy as can be with a bit of herb every now and then, but even that in too large of an amount at a young age can kind of slow you down in way's that aren't really worth it. Everyone is different though.

kids say no to drugz plz

Another time, another DnB rave (Ram at Matter) - I was given about ten beans to sell/eat/give away, batmans and mercs. Ate about 8 of them.
36 sleepless hours later I decided there probably wasn't and mdma in them and i'd just been eating a LOT of pressed speed.

Waste.

Lessons learned -
Generally speaking, pills are shit these days (inb4 gwa saying he gets amazing stuff *yawn*).
Don't chase the high.

I started smoking weed every so often at 16.
I never did anything harder than weed until I was 19 when I did coke a few times and didn't really like it, so never did it again. I also did salvia at roughly the same age which was an absolutely insane and unforgettable experience. Music (and speech) turned into nursery rhymes, people turned into cartoons. The most intense lasted for about 5 minutes and I was completely gone, was sitting on a sofa at the time and to me, one minute I was on an infinite conveyor belt of sofas, the next minute I was in-between the threaded-line pattern of the white throw over that was on the sofa. My friends filmed it and it was hilarious, I was moving pillows back and forth and trying to touch stuff that wasn't there, only it wasn't me doing it. I was almost literally in another dimension. It was actually really scary at the time but looking back on it just makes me laugh. I did it a few times after that but it never came close to that time.
I started doing E pills when I was 22, did them about 9 or 10 times until I got sold dodgy ones (described in my post a few pages back), and since then I've only done mandy.

Once, me, JamesHK and my friend Abi were wandering around the woods on acid. Now when I'm on acid, and especially when I'm in nature on acid, everything takes on monumental significance. As I'm walking along the path, my feet start leading me off, deeper into the woods, and its like I'm being guided towards this one tree in particular. Clearly, the universe wants us to smoke a joint here. So we're sitting under the tree, I'm billing a zoot and communing with the universe, everything's amazing and then Abi points out that we're sitting literally 2 feet from a dead squirrel.

Naturally I'm thinking, "I'm tripping balls near a rotting carcass, this can't be good" but then I realised, no! I was guided to this tree god damn it, I'm going to smoke this joint in honour of the fallen squirrel. As Abi said, "no one paid it attention in life, its time someone did in death"

Later on I found a chopped down tree and cried for like 5 minutes.

Another ninja related drug story comes when a bunch of London heads came down to Bristol, and we all went to Subloaded together, first time I'd met most of the ninjas. This one needs a little preamble before the drugs. My mate Piers has a spiritual opposition to shoes; he doesn't wear shoes, he doesn't own shoes, he is a barefoot warrior. But apparently this didn't go down well well with the bouncer at the club, who told him he can't come in without shoes, even though he had a ticket. So we go to a nearby park to smoke a joint and consider our options. First guy that walks past, Piers jumps up and says "'scuse me mate, is there any chance I can have your shoes?" Long pause. Guy says, "yeah allright", gives him the shoes and walks off. My faith in humanity was restored.

But anyway, we get inside and me and Piers drop our 2c-B. All is well, the soundsystem's amazing, someone dropped Disco Rekah right as I came up, fantastic. I go to the bar to get some water and check on Piers. While I'm pouring the water, I'm literally melting into the bar. I look over at Piers; he's dribbling in the corner. We decide to get the fuck out of there, and run around Bristol tripping balls for a few hours. We get to the top of this hill, at the bottom of which is Stokes' Croft, a pretty busy road, specially on a Friday night. I realise that I am in a totally unfit state to be in public, trying to cross a road is a nightmare, I've lost my jacket and half my hash, everythings gone mad. At this point I give up trying, and decide to trust the universe. I close my eyes, stretch my arm out in front of me and walk down the hill, and across Stokes Croft. KIDS: do NOT try this at home!! Somehow I make it to the other side, and I open my eyes. My outstretched hand is on the chest of a friend I had back in primary school, and hadn't seen in like 8 years. Fucking madness.

We managed to blag our way into a bar that was closed, I somehow convinced the owner (whose name is Cosmic Jake) to give us free tea and we chat about our families for a while. Back at Kay's house, all the ninjas are there and shits kicking off (in a good way). I'm peaking so hard at this point, so I just wrap up in a blanket and meditate in the corner. Managed to put a lighter in teamhobson's pocket from the other side of the room (mate you should have seen your face), found wubstep's lost shoe with my eyes closed. Psychedelics give you superpowers.

(apologies for long ramblings. So so many stories)

[jaydot]

I'm giving up drugs forever, that's it.

[Laszlo]

@joeki - was smoking hash at 14 or 15 (skunk wasn't about in those days)
skunk at about 17 or 18 (was £25/8th when it first was getting popular)
MDMA at about 26 (always used to think pill-heads were utter stnuc..... still do for the most part)

[d-T-r]

Will be possibly moving to Bristol quite soon. Will have to Jam and have a voyage or 2 Kochari (and any other multi-dimensional ninjas)

Technically, Sonikm8, magic truffles (what you bought) aren't legal at your age. Dudes in Smartshops just sell anything to ANYONE in Amsterdam. >.>
