I wanted to make a topic for people who have been using for an extended period of time. Several years atleast.

How has your drug use affected your life? Are you still using or have you quit? Do you use as much as you used to?

I doesn't matter what the drug is.

My experience is drugs aren't really worth consistent recreational use. I'd advise all the potheads to stop smoking pot every day right now, and if you must smoke do it very sparingly. Like something to relax with on saturdays or even more spaced out.

It severely affected the way my life has gone in the past 3 years. I spent the better portion of 2 years obsessed with it along with my friends. I mean we did other stuff, but we were almost always high. The pot head community seems like this in general. Everyone is always like "We need to go buy some pot" "lets get baked" "I feel like smoking". I mean once your high you aren't talking about the pot constantly, but when your sober it's like one of your higher priorities is getting baked.

It's just constant. One of my friends the other day actually started complaining. He was like "Oh my god we need to get weed, I'm starting to get a headache because I haven't been high all day". I don't think he even realized how that sounded.

The other drugs I used extremely sparingly. We did one "harder" drug every month or so. We'd usually do X, acid or shrooms. I don't touch any psychadelics anymore because they have totally lost their appeal after plenty of usages.

Anyways, I don't think smoking pot like once every weekend is bad at all. I'd consider it like getting drunk every weekend to let loose. It's just not a big deal. But smoking every day is as big a deal to me now as drinking every day. Even if these people aren't physically addicted they talk about getting baked all the time, they just can't live comfortably through a day without atleast getting high once. It becomes apart of your routine after you smoke for so long. Would not recommend that road. It just seems like a huge waste of time.

Ecstasy and coke at the end of last year. My girlfriend fucked off on me and I started losing friends and hanging out with fucking scumbags and wasters.

Time.

Which is the pitfall of smoking pot every day.

Not necessarily your health. Your time.

I see substance abuse as an escape from the corporate lifestyle we live.  I know it seems sad. but all we do is work for the machine, and although it does not seem like we're helping by getting fucked.  We're helping oursleves by having fun.  And that fucks over the government any day

Drugs have definately affected me.  

I never really used pills too much luckily. Would drop a few xannie bars a weekend for a while.

As far as liquor and marijuana are concerned. I smoked pot before i ever got drunk. actually tried both the same week. for the first 9 months or so i preferred getting drunk every day of the weekend. Than i started gettin into weed a lot more. Been smoking it everyday for almost 3.5 years. I only prefer to get drunk maybe once or twice a month, while i smoke upward 6 times a day.

I feel a lil more sluggish from smoking soo much, and i have really bad short term memory. A buddy of mine that i have been smoking with since pretty much day one and I both agreed that even when we're not high we tend to have a certain aspect of high thinking that never goes away.

The only thing that really kinda bugs me is too think of all the money and time i wasted. Although I don't think its a waste of time like when your bored doing nothing. Only the nights where i could have went to hang out with a bunch of people, but instead sat with a few friends on a couch all night.

I don't think it's fair to blame anything on drugs specifically...  because none are inherently bad IMO, it all depends on the way we choose to use them.

That being said, my daily marijuana use over the past 3 years, my monthly lsd use over the past year, and the occasional x thrown in there, led to me becoming too comfortable with the way things were. I was using all these things just to get fucked up and they were making me OK with my reality (because I could always get away from it) instead of making an effort to change things.

I regret that with LSD I have not used it as a spiritual tool.

DXM (low doses) is the only drug that has motivated me to be more productive in my life, both while on it and the days following doses. I abused high doses of it too much and that's another drug I regret not using more spiritually or creatively (although I did have my fair share of this, still I could've done more).

And now I'm being put on an SSRI tomorrow so there will be no more tripping for me at least for six months minimum. I feel sad at this prospect and I miss it already.

I could talk more about my experiences with pills and coke but honestly I never felt very connected to those types of drugs, not enough to actively seek them out. It was more like, "oh I'm at a party and someone's giving me a perc, ok thanks." never really affected my daily life all that much.
