I’m researching for an article and would like to know some of the reasons people start taking drugs. I am approaching this as a drug taker myself and am interested in other people’s stories. I’d also like to know if your parents ever took drugs or who exposed you to drug culture. Thanks 🙂
Hey man, like the way you’re approaching this, am busy but will be back
Don’ttake all the drugs.
boredom and mind expansion but mainly boredum
there is new work on the gateway theory stating that kids who smoke pot for mind expansion usually end up doing psychedelics while kids who smoke cuz they’re bored end up doing cocaine and other stimulants, but no one just does other drugs just cuz they smoked green first
Digital Buddha joined, couldb’ttake anymore after that so needed smack to cope.
i joined first…
Wanted to join here but saw it had a massive arsehole already.Needed smack to get over it.
you need the smack to not be an arse but hey who am I to judge?
cuz I were young, in a big group were if a few tried a new drug , all the other would wanted to do the same, stupid and wrongly informed and didn’t look which drugs are healthy ok and which are potentiolly dangerous.
i had been told around ten years : if u use once heroin u are immediatly addicted and sick. this was the image i had, and after i tried the first time, i wasn’t addicted and sick, all what came from Adults was a lye
I started experimenting with drugs when I was in about Freshman year of high school and I did it to just party! Hahaha, it sounds odd but I wanted to find new ways to get trippy with everyone.
Tripping is a bit of a randomly abstract solution to that problem. How on earth did you manage to make that leap of reasoning to decide on psychedelics?

looks like this happened across all of Europe during the mid to late 1980s….

what biological age is this?
In European English “freshers week” is most commonly a generic term used for various events/parties put on for new students who have just gone up to University (normally age 17/18) – high school is from age 11-16 or 18.
Those deemed clever enough to pass University entrance exams have about two years more education; in the UK when his happens in the same high school that you did your age 15/16 compulsory exams in its called “Sixth Form” even though its officially known as Year 12/13.
High school just about everywhere in the world has way too many exams in it as well as all the other peer pressures about what subculture you fit into/avoiding bullying; although it may well be the case worldwide that if you are weird/crazy enough; no one gives you any shit as they are a bit scared of you (even the teachers). Thus taking drugs at around 15/16 upwards isn’t that unusual behaviour.
My best friend introduced me to the concept of ‘plateaus’, we essentially wanted to access another dimension we just didn’t know how to. Looking back at it now it was pretty fucking screwed how we started. We started with what was readily accessible and available which was a Walgreens down the block that sold cough syrup. We started dosing each other with DXM(main ingredient in cough syrup) and it was a triiiiiip. DXM is like being drunk with a very chemically out of body feeling, very dis-associative & we began dosing higher and higher to achieve more intense & vivid trips. Funny thing..the last time we tripped was when an earthquake hit, it was around 1 am and we were just peaking when the ground started trembling, my friends face construed into this indescribable face full of fear which tipped the hat for me to freak out convinced that the gates of hell were going to open and swallow our souls…hahaha we spent the rest of the night cuddling listening to Coldplay over and over again. I was 14 then, my friend 13, I wouldn’t ever take those experiences away from my life because they formed the conscious person that I am today one who doesn’t meddle with chemicals unless he has had them de-bunked and comes from a trusting source…
