Your Contact with Hard Drugs

[saskganesh]

most of the above, some others and even done stuff that's not even illegal yet. while I am open to experimentation, I usually just stick to the classics.

I was never interested in heroin or anything to do with injecting. a big core of my cohort in my 20's became junkies when it got cheap, and I know two (offhand) who od'ed at a very young age. some of the others kicked the habit, others just faded away in dark basements over time. one survivor has to live with hep B.

I once fought for my life against 3 drunk & speeded up assholes in a back alley.

I won...barely.

[The Brain]

I don't associate with users of hard drugs.

Dated women who was fighting meth addiction.
Known a few heroin addicts
My cousin fought a crack addiction 20 years ago.

Cocaine and pot were common usage amongst some former roommates.

But never tried any of it. Well except the pot.

Have a friend who is a recovering heroin addict. And another who used to smoke pot. Personally never touched any controlled substance other than liquor (yes, this includes never smoking a single cigarette - can't stand the shit).

Oh, I tried poppers, once. Got dizzy.

[Fireblade]

No comment.

Back in the olden days I am pretty sure I tried a variety of substances that led me to focus my study away from class and more on the partying - then I flunked out of college.  After I decided to end that, I returned to school and did quite a bit better.

I still think the worse was strong drink which led me to licentious women.

I know people who have been on hard drugs and jailed for use and distribution. I've never stayed friends once I found out, but I have used them to get hash/dope/whatever it's called where you are.

Oh, I tried poppers, once. Got dizzy.

Gave me a headache and I hate the fucking taste it leaves (via the nasal passages)

My best friend from high school pretty much tried everything except heroin.  He never used anything heavier than pot on a regular basis, AFAIK, and I'm not even sure he uses that anymore.

Had a roommate in college who did coke and heroin.

Have had a bunch of casual aquaintainces in school and at work who were into God knows what.

Know a lot of people who've had problems with abuse of OTC medications--those don't really count as hard drugs, but some of them probably should.

[DontSayBanana]

Personally, never experimented. Had a close friend in high school who moved up from pot to coke, and made friends at work with a former crack/coke user who was ramping down on clinical methadone. Other than that, it's hard to find people in this county who don't claim to have done pot.

No acquaintance that I know of.

Seen people shooting themselves in Hamburg, and once a junkie dropped all his (fortunately wrapped) needles on the subway train here.

Yeah. Same here. I guess we are just too bitter - we don't get high, we get sick.

[Monoriu]

I've never come into contact with drugs.  Don't personally know anyone in real life who has admitted to using them. 

Only people I know of who use them are you guys
