Nice try FBI.

To the young'uns - when you see someone in their 50s or 60s nowadays, just remember that a huge chunk of us spent the entire 90s utterly fucked up on coke, ecstasy, dope and LSD, listening to extremely loud electronic music

That's why we're all a bit weird, and deaf 😊

Basically everything.

Except opiates, barbiturates, and REEEALLY specific RCs, but I’ve tried a lot of weird RCs. Wellll I also have smoked opium a few times. It was awesome. Never any hard opiates. Too scary.

Oh, also never had mescaline. Would try it though.

The weirdest of all of them was Foxy (5-MeO-DiPT)

The most addictive was Mephedrone (scary)

The worst one was DOC… I was ready to be done a few hours in. NOPE OVER TWENTY HOURS

Holy shit. I'm not even going to attempt remembering them all.

If I get what you're referring to as drugs, then none. I never even had alcohol, coffee nor energy drinks. Mostly as a weird flex at this point.

Stop trying to social engineer my password, DEA!

Not meth

Weed, Adderall, LSD, MDMA, alcohol. LSD is my favourite by far, I'd like to try mushrooms too but I have no idea where to find them.

My psychiatrist asked me that once during an ADHD diagnosis, listing several examples of some common ones, and I said "all those" unflinchingly because I was super restless and anxious during the diagnosis appointment which was also during work and he jolted and pulled out a little cartoonish handkerchief to wipe his brow it was like an old timey book

Starting from the top:

Aspirin Acetaminophen Baby aspirin Flonase Lysergic acid diethylamide All kinds of antibiotics

Alcohol, Nicotine, Caffeine, Cannabis, LSD, Ketamine, MDMA, 2C-B, 4-MMC, Kratom, Psilocybin, Muscimol, Cocaine, ODSMT (tramadol), Amphetamine.

Alcohol I consider the most dangerous and destructive of all. It is very hard on my body and tolerance as well as dependence build up quickly and often noticed too late due to social acceptance.

MDMA is great taken responsibly with loved ones. My wife and I enjoy it every few months for a “free parents weekend”. It really helps opening up emotionally and makes physical touch even more enjoyable.

My almost daily vice is weed. I use it to manage stress and unwind after work. It works best when I do it together with exercise. The workout high is my personal favourite.

Shrooms are also great. They are easy to grow and very pleasant to me. After I’ve done a high dose (6g) I can do 2-3g as a chill daytime dose that mellows me out. It’s especially great for playtime with children - brings me kind of to the same mental level without losing my mental capacity.

do doctor drugs/antibiotics count?

Weed, alcohol, nicotine, mushrooms, ecstasy/molly (the pills have been cut with heroin, coke, meth, mescaline), LSD, Salvia, opium, Percocet, and my kid’s cuddles (I swear to god, that counts, and it’s probably the most intoxicating). I’ve also done some random ass herbs I bought online that were supposed to have an effect, but never did. Questions welcome lol. I will also add, everything but the first 3 were about a decade before I had my kiddos, so no worries there.

Practically none of the fun ones. Just weed, coke, mushrooms and LSD.

Nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, methylphenidate.

Nicotine once. Friends at the time said I needed to try it to say for a fact I didn't like it, and I didn't like it. Then I learnt there are extremely rare cases of illnesses from just one smoke, so that advice was stupid, IMO.

Caffeine was a regular as I was self-medicating with it. Nowadays, I drink mostly decaffeinated. I wish there were more flavors and variety for it, though, at least a chocolate one...

Alcohol has always been an occasional thing for me, once or twice per year. I try to keep it that way because my family has a long history of substance abuse disorder.

Methylphenidate once. I borrowed it from someone's prescription. I thought it would help me get energetic, euphoric, etc. Well, it was calming, and for the first time in my life my mind was quiet. It was so strange to be sitting with no turmoil, no direction of what to jump to do or even say spontaneously. It was just me and the silent room. Tranquility, so much that it was uncomfortable as it was new and not what I expected at all. Turns out I have hyperactivity and the medication turned it down.

If I were to say, I prefer uppers and I'm curious about substances like cocaine, but I don't want to risk my health. I'm fine.

Weed, of course, and then acid, mushrooms, and ecstasy a handful of times, cocaine once.

Caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, weed, shrooms, acid, speed, coke, mdma, ketamine... I stopped weed first, nowadays it's just caffeine... Od'd on speed once, seriously convinced I was dying, that was horrible, 5 days of paranoid hallucinations, I was at my own funeral, people only came to bitch about me... acid is ok, shrooms are better, mdma and shrooms is amazing.

...but stopped when I became a dad, 17 years ago...

Best day ever

Other than that only weed a few times.

In order of the first time: caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, LSD, amphetamine sulphate, cocaine, ecstasy, pure MDMA, psilocybin mushrooms, ketamine, DMT.

I always preferred psychedelics but they're hard to find where I live.

I spent most of about a 6 month period when I was 18 on ecstasy. It had some negative effects but it helped me deeply connect with my best friend who I remained close to for nearly 20 years.

I'd recommend trying pure MDMA, especially with someone you care about, if you can 100% trust the source. I'd also strongly recommend DO NOT TAKE ECSTASY TABLETS. Thanks to the war on drugs they rarely contain anything close to MDMA these days but are likely to contain fentanyl and other nasty crap.

The most evil drug I've ever encountered is alcohol. That's what ultimately took my friend's life. It did it slowly over the course of most of her life but she still died in her thirties. The final years were horrible. With what it did to her body but also her mind. Most of the violent crime in my country involves people who are intoxicated on alcohol.

Weed was always my favourite drug and still is. I can't do it anymore because I'm in a job that tests. Also I don't live in a country where it's legal so I don't think I could even score it anymore. The people I used to buy it from either quit themselves or died from other drugs.

In an ideal world I'd smoke weed at most 10 times a year and take LSD twice. But I can't imagine either will be legal in my country in my lifetime.

Stuff called: "Space Hobbit".... literally made up at the ISS. I absolutely cannot say anything else.

Weed, Molly, and Ketamine

Honestly, didn't feel anything with any of them.

Weed, alcohol, nicotine (despite how little it counts), DXM (Dextromethorphan, otc cough syrup), nitrous oxide, dextroamphetamine (non racemic), amphetamine (racemic), codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, kratom, phenibut, LSD, zolpidem, Zoloft, prozac, celexa, Lexapro, Wellbutrin, and probably more I've forgotten about

I tried cannabis for the first time this year and I'm 50. That's it. It had zero effect on me and I just had some cereal.

Old friend went hard on research chems for a few years. I remember seeing a spreadsheet with more than a dozen variants of DMT, quite well organised with loads of notes. The thing that stuck with me was one of them had a big bold warning 'do not take with xxx you will die'. He's OK now but it all culminated with him nearly killing a mutual friend and being committed to a mental institution for a few months.
