Has anyone ever tried drugs?

[Sharop]

By "drugs", I mean the illegal kind.

I personally never have and don't intend to. I've heard too many stories about the terrible things that can happen once people get addicted.

I hope this thread isn't too personal. I was just curious, as I know quite a few people can be tempted to experiment, especially with milder, less dangerous drugs such as marijuana.

[Brieannas21]

I haven't, shoot I've never smoked a cigarette

[EmoJoe]

no, and i never will :)

[Mr. Stefani]

many

[Sharop]

The two of you are wise. There are so many horrible stories about people who become hooked on them. Unfortunately, it can be very easy to give in to peer pressure.

I didnt give into peer pressure. i'm a curious person and i need to get things out of my system. i'm not hooked on anything.

Smoked pot, never cared for it.

[Ireneparalegal]

I wondered how long I would have to be here before someone got the nerve to ask that question. In 2 days I will have been here a YEAR. Well, then, a year is how long it took. :rofl:

No, but I wonder how many people will be REALLY HONEST abt what drugs they have tried. I am not laughing at you, just the question.

[*MIBabe03*]

Ditto. Drugs are beyond stupid.

[LuLu Rogers]

I'm not that stupid

[Brad Russ]

Iv'e smoked pot, and taken oxycodones and some other things like that, but Iv'e managed to stay away from the harder stuff.

Considering the fact that my neighborhood (Rockwood) is nicknamed Crackwood, I'm pretty happy with myself, that Iv'e been able to keep away from that ****.

[Sharop]

I am not laughing at you, just the question.

Oh, I see. :)

I don't think people who take drugs are stupid. There are a number of reasons why someone might feel compelled to try a drug - pressure from their friends, curiosity, etc, etc. Sometimes it can be hard to resist.

[Moonlight Lady]

Another reason why alot of people do drugs, is because they feel hopeless, and it's their way of escaping reality, and feeling good. For that reason, Iv'e been tempted many times.

[snl 70s show fan]

ive never tried them and dont intened to

They can also turn to drugs if something especially traumatizing/scarring happened to them, like they got raped and don't know how to get help or how to deal with that scarring experience.

[Sharop]

That's a good point. That's one of the reasons I think so many famous people get involved with drugs. Many of them are quite insecure - I'll use Andy Gibb as an example - Barry Gibb later said that Andy was generally a very insecure person, and it seemed that he never felt he'd be as good as his brothers. And I don't think he could quite cope with the sudden fame that was thrust upon him, which may have been a reason he turned to drugs (that, and they were readily available.)

However, I must point out, that drugs were not the cause of Andy's death. Many newspapers reported that he died of a drug overdose, but in fact, he died of viral myocarditis, a heart infection. He had been off drugs for quite a while before he died. The drug use hadn't helped, but it wasn't really the cause of his death.

The same applies to other famous people who have taken drugs - and it can apply to those who have committed suicide as well. Some of them can't cope with the fame. Although they're very rich, and have a lot of privileges, I think it must be said that famous people have problems too - different sorts of problems to the ones we have, but they're still problems. It can get to the point where they're virtually prisoners. Fame can be a kind of prison, especially for musicians. In the Beatles film A Hard Day's Night, one of the Beatles describe their tour as being, "A room and a car and a room and a room and a car and a room."

[Fleet]

NO WAY.
I had common sense even at a very young age. ;)

[dawsongirl]

None. I'm ****ed up enough as it is clean and sober. I hate drugs. HATE THEM.

Yeah, tragedy could drive you to drugs to ease the pain. I don't condone it, but that's the ONE excuse I can understand.

[Hollow]

nope. not that stupid, plus i rebel against all the teenagers who think anyone who hasn't done them is "uncool", so they can kiss my ass. the ones who brag about having done them are just making fools of themselves.

[Jonathan]

No and I never plan to.

[Number 9 Dream]

I've smoked pot, but that's about it. It's not for me.

[KristinHerreraFan]

I've never smoked any drugs or cigarettes before. However I have drank alchohol a few times in the past. :angdev:

[Janice]

Substance abuse destroys many lives. I lost both of my sisters to drugs and alcohol. They left behind three brokenhearted teenagers, as well as a family paralyzed by grief. Drugs are evil.

[swedeace]

No. I have never done drugs, and I also have never smoked either. And, I have never been tempted to try either one.

[freshprinceofLA]

f*ck no.. drugs to me have the dame credibility as poop or osama
dont ruin your life

[Courtnee]

nope. Crack is wack...and bad for the vocal cords.

[consentida]

I've never done drugs or smoked a cigarette or consumed alcohol. I'm afraid of things like that. I've seen what it does to people and I don't want any of it happening to me.

[Jo_Luvs_Ketchup]

I have not done any "hard" drugs. The worst is a pain med I'm on right now Vicodin and it's only for pain, don't get high or anything. I also have smoked a cigarette. (I know, sweet innocent Kelly Ketchup??) :lol: I smoked it when I was 8, luckily I remember what it tasted like and I vowed never to do it again! I know a lot of people addicted to drugs and I will never go down that path.

[Superstar]

No, I never have and I never will.

[Karen64]

I've smoked pot. When I was a teenager, I'd been to parties where people were smoking pot that you'd never think would (including a respected doctor!) This was back in the late 70's, early 80's. I think a lot of people do marijuana that would NEVER admit to it.

For me, pot never did anything spectacular; just made me forgetful. Hell, I don't need that stuff, I'm forgetful enough without it!

They're not lying. Some people do drugs, some don't. Most, if not all, of the younger members here are real good kids. You can tell that by reading their posts. I don't think big party type young members are going to hang out at a Sitcoms Online, of all places.

And some have said they've done drugs.

I think some of the older members who partied back in the day don't weigh in because of the younger members. Myself included. I'm sure I don't speak only for myself when I say that it's not proper for an adult to give details about prior drug use when there are teenagers here. It's not a question of not wanting to "look bad".

Besides, it's nobody's business anyway. It's not mandatory to post on every thread.

I believe everyone's words who have posted a reply in this thread.

maybe thats it...

Personally I don't understand the purpose of the thread. Your asking who commited illegal acts. This isn't a subsatance abuse meeting, where people stand up and say "my name is Joe and I'm a addict". Next post will be who stole in their life. If someone is ashamed see a grief counsellor. I think the question is highly personal and what a person did or didn't do in the past or present is not for public consumption.

I think anyone who takes drugs has to be nuts but that is a personal opinion, and if someone does they should seek help but that's just my opinion. I see absolute reason to discuss questions of that nature.

..... someones been smoking the hard stuff.....

this is a DISCUSSION type question, theres your purpose. If someone is in need of dicussing, and this thread makes them feel comfortable doing that, then great. It serves a greater purpose that "what's your favorite ice cream?" No one is being forced to answer, nor are they being forced to READ this thread.

And i'm pretty sure we've already had a "who has stole in their life" thread... sorry you missed out.

To the originally asked question, no, I've never partaked in any illegal drugs. Never been a desire of mine.

[lilhave]

Why jump down on me? If it's a discussion question, then am I entitled to give my opinion without you telling me I'm way off base?

To me chit chit means chit chat, and I still feel asking someone if they are a drug user is highly personal but that's my opinion and you are entitled to yours. Difference is I didn't blast you for your opinion. If the question of being a thief was raised before, sorry if I missed it.

[Lex Luthor]

I tell you one thing I certainly would prefer someone on pot than drunk. I work concert events on the side and the people smoking Mary Jane (Marijuana) NEVER cause problems but the drunks... all the time. I certainly don't condone the use of pot but Alcohol can be 100 times worse.

Up here Crystal Meth has become the drug of choice for teens because it is cheap and apparently it is a good high.... This is the most destructive evil drug that has ever come out. It literally eats your brains, much drug use damage eventually clears when you become "clean" this stuff literally is like pouring acid on your brain. The damage is permanent and will never repair, the psychiatric hospitatls are being flooded with people who have developed psychosis from this garbage. It is also one of the most powerfully addictive drugs, experts say that if you are not addicted by the first try you are extremely lucky.

Drugs are bad..MmKay but this one is quickly becoming the most leathal/damaging at least in Canada.

The statistics you are refering to are usually anonymous so the results here are more than likely going to be skewed. You also hit the nail on the head, there are alot of teens here and statistically this is when drug use starts. Hopefully the teens here learn from others examples and our mistakes (tried pot in my teens) and becaome a new trend in lowering these numbers.

The other scary thing is that the further we advance in technology the drug dealers have also made stronger more potent and dangerous drugs. Drugs were bad when I was a kid but rarely killed you or did permanent damage, the teens nowadays have far more to worry about.

Personally I don't understand the purpose of the thread.

Well, basically, I just created this thread because I was curious. Maybe it is too personal; if it is, then I'm sorry. I did have my doubts about whether I should start it or not, but decided to go through with it anyway. I hope people haven't been offended by this thread; that wasn't my intention.

As for it not being for public consumption - well, it's like Ms Orange said, the people who have admitted to trying drugs in the past have chosen to admit that they tried drugs, therefore they obviously don't mind people finding out about it. If people don't feel comfortable admitting to trying drugs, then obviously, they're not going to reply to this thread. The people who have admitted to trying drugs, however, are themselves responsible for allowing other people to find out, as they chose to respond and admit to it. (And to those who have admitted to trying drugs, I admire you :) - if I'd tried drugs, I'd probably be too much of a coward to admit it.)

I like the occasional "pop" or two but it does make you wonder if prohibition should have ever been lifted. Alcohol abuse (please note the word abuse) is so often tied in with voilent crimes, rapes, spousal abuse and just overall stupid decisions. My uncle went from almost a million dollar real estate business to bankrupcy because of Alcoholism.

Although millions of people control their use of alcohol, it is a drug and can be as devastatiing as any other drug.

The irony of this post is that it is 101 degrees right now and the neighbor upstairs just came down with a beer which I gladly downed as I was writing this.:lol:

The one addiction rarely spoken of is gambling bcause it's a billion dollar industry. You can tell when someone is in the throes of drugs, or addicated to alcohol but a gambler, is the one you can't tell. They will spend every penny they have to support the habit and then beg, borrow and steal to support their habit. Like the other addictions it has destroyed many a life. Extreme compulsive behavior and like drugs and alcohol it is a illness. They just can't stop no matter how much you tell them, "if you love me" etc.

I like the occasional "pop" or two but it does make you wonder if prohibition should have ever been lifted.

I see your point, but I have to say that I feel that it was right to lift Prohibition. In Year 12, we studied Prohibition when we were studing American History, and from what we learned, it was clear that Prohibition had more negative effects than positive ones. Many people turned to illegally obtaining alcohol, and many tried to make it themselves. Since they were inexperienced, they often made the most dangerous of drinks, which would make them very ill, and in some cases, kill them. Although agents were sent around to check that people weren't making alcoholic beverages in their homes, there weren't enough agents, the agents they did have were largely inexperienced and didn't know what to look for, and they weren't paid well, so if they discovered anything, some of them could be bought off with bribes.

It caused quite a lot of problems, and from what we learned, it seems clear that Prohibiton did little to stop the consumption of alcohol. Those that were really determined to get it found ways of drinking it.

I would love to have a realtioship with her, but she makes it impossible!! She made my life a living hell when I was growing up and I refuse to let her into my life so that she could do the same to my son!!

One of the little known facts of prohibition was the part Canada played. Detroit and the Detroit river is right across from Ontario. At the time Canada also went "dry" but when they saw money could be made, passed a law that prohibited alcohol from being sold from a domestic standpoint but allowed it to be exported. The most vicious gangwas the Purple gang and when Capone tried to take over, the Purple gang pushed him out. At night boats went back and forth bringing booze to Detroit. There were only 170 federal agents to patrol the entire U.S. so it was a farce.

Some trivia. Establishments were set up where you knocked on the door and said "Louie sent me" You spoke low and thus the term "speakeasies"

Small flasks ere hidden in boots, so as not to be seen. Thus the term bootleggers.

The south was poor and the only way many people survived was by making "shine"

I hate that for you. :( Alcoholism ruins many families. My cousin and her husband have been foster parents for about 5 years now and I remember them having a 5 year old boy about two years ago. He stayed with them for about 2 months. Both of his parents were alcoholics and that poor little boy was afraid to go to sleep at night because that's when his parents used to hurt him. He simply couldn't sleep alone at night. It was such a horrible thing to see happen to such a young boy. The worst part? His mom was pregnant again. I shudder to think what happened to the next baby. :(

Since everyone here (almost) is being a card-carrying member of the Nancy Reagan Just Say No campaign, let me tell you all, as a born again believer in Jesus Christ, one of my own personal experiences with drugs:

It was back in 1989, I had gotten off from work at my job at a restaurant right across the street from the Coliseum and the Seattle Center. It was after midnight on a Saturday night, and my roommate was lighting up some green. So he gets me interested in taking a few hits, so I go for it, and wouldn't you know that MTV's Headbanger's Ball is on! He's not a fan, but I am, so I'm just chilling there feeling the effects coming on........and a video by heavy metal/hard rock "satanic" artist Danzig comes on. My roommate asks me if I'd like to go to the store up the next block for some Ben and Jerry's New York Super Fudge Chunk ice cream (just the type for people wired on cannibis!! :crazy: ). Fearing something goofy like, getting hit by a car, I say, "Mmmmmmno, that's okay...." He asks me, "Well, what are you thinking about?"

Watching the Danzig video where he's going about finding "his food from the pit of hell", I start going on, " I was thinking about the video where the philosophical content of this heavy metal video connected with the overall theme of the song may aesthetically connect with the mind of the listener to images and concepts which may be detrimental to their emotiona and spiritual well-being and may possibly bring a negative reaction....etc., etc." and he starts laughing about it! :lol: He knew I was gone!!! I don't remember all that I said, but it was along these lines, that marijuana really let my mind and mouth go! :talk: :soapbox: So then he turned off the t.v. and played some Dylan, which was still "evil" to me because of all that wild hippie business in the 60's...I don't think anything harder than gospel music like the Bill Gaither Vocal band would have put my mind at ease.... ohno.

So dope has had the effect of paranoia on me, making me more "religious", even though some months before I tried to get baked while listening to the Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland album.... peace:

What's the Nancy Reagan Just Say No Campaign? I've never heard of it.

I'm definitely not being a card-carrying member of it, though. I'm not really interested in politics. I like films, books, TV shows and music.

Nancy Reagan tried to make her impact on culture other than simply being Ronnie's wife by popularizing a simple expression: when a druggie offered you his wares, all you had to do was JUST SAY NO!!! That was big for a while from around 1985 to 1989. TV PSA commercial ads, t-shirts, stickers, even a "Diff'rent Strokes" episode where Nancy Reagan even made an appearance, pitched the same message.

Weird that she made that appearance on Diff'rent Strokes, and yet the kid stars on that show were all on drugs. Apparantly they didn't listen.

Her own kids were into drugs at the time too.
Anyway I've tried pot a few times. Did nothing for me.

He is just kidding about it. ;)

Oops, I didn't realise. :o :) I often have difficulty telling when someone is joking, unless they make it blatantly obvious. I think it's something to do with having Asperger's Syndrome - people with AS tend to take most things literally.

this thread makes me feel like the big dirtbag of SO..in actual life compared to my friends i'm like the angel of the group. a lot of my friends are into coke(its the money drug, its status thats the only reason people do it) and i refuse. I've tried it, yes, but never again. I like to drink and party(as my friends here know having seen my webshots lol), but i know when enough is enough and its only done on weekends.

Well, it sounds like you have a pretty good head on your shoulders. You just try drugs, but you don't get hooked on to them.

But we do need to talk about this drinking thing of yours... :lol:

Myself, I have never done illegal drugs. First reason being, I don't have access to them, and that's just fine with me. Second reason being, they don't interest me. Third reason being, the only medicine I take regularly in the first place is Advil or Excedrin for my occasional headaches, and that's enough for me. I was violently ill last week while visiting my sister, and it was the day we had to start driving back home. My mom picked up some Dramamine for me (keep in mind, I have NEVER had motion sickness. Ever.). I was so sick, I had to cut a 50 mg tablet into half -- that's 25 mg -- and I took that. I was able to keep that one down, and it knocked me out FAST. If half of a Dramamine tablet can do that, imagine how long I would be knocked out with a whole tablet. My point being, the few times I take something other than headache meds has major effects on me. If I even thought about trying illegal drugs, it would most likely kill me on the first try. I just ain't cool with that.

I'm too busy being a normal twentysomething to worry about illegal drugs. I have, HOWEVER, done legal things (smoking, drinking) long before I was of age. Yes, I tried cigarette smoking at 14, but I never got hooked so I never did it again. I experimented w/ alcohol when I was really young, but I knew/know my limits. I've never smoked pot, but I have been around it (secondhand smoking). I don't even WANT to do pot, because the smoke smell is NASTY. It smells like cat pee x 1000000000, and I have three cats at home, I don't need to smell more cat pee, thanks.

No, I've never tried drugs.
