My gateway drug was alcohol. BEER! Ew. It was in 8th grade. SMH. I will beat my kids if I find out they're doing the same shit I did at the same age. Gosh I was just a KID! My second drug was marijuana. I've never been a fan of cigarettes thanks to my chain smoking mom who made my clothes smell like nicotine ever since I could remember.

Quoting Dee_Due in April{Girl}:“ I never understood why some people do drugs to fit it. I mean if your going to do it do it because you ... [snip!] ... it do it because you want to not because everyone else is doing it. I never got the peer presure excuse. But hey thats just me”

Is there any better reason to start doing drugs?lolMy story is different but not better.I didn't start smoking til 18 and the reason is..get this..because my parents smoked 5 packs a day between them and my friend blew smoke in my face that day and I said"Wow if everyone wants me to smoke secondhand why not smoke myself I might at least get enjoyment out of it"-stupid eh.However I didn't tell my Mom because (again stupid) because she WOULD let me smoke in the house and I knew I'd get addicted(because I was still just a party smoker at the time).When I finally told my folks my Mom was excited to have a fellow smoker.Real cool eh?

My family was also the reason I started smoking, I was 20. Both my mother and sister smoked, I'd been around it since I was a child. I finally just figured "what the hell", if I was going to be around them, I might as well join in.

I'm glad I only had a few years as a heavy smoker as opposed to most people I know, before I got around to quitting for good.

alcohol
never wanted to smoke cigarettes, my mom is a chain smoker and made my clothes stink and teacher stared at me and kids would comment on how I reaked of smoke. So embaressing. The smell gives me migraines.

My mother smokes 3 and a half packs a day,and as a result is a recluse and almost non-existent in my children's lives.It is her drug,and she constantly tells me this,however my response is-if you were a heroin addict you wouldn't want me to just accept that excuse.She still has bitterness against me for"following society and snubbing smokers" because I quit with each pregnancy (now for good) and haven't allowed smoking in my home for 7 years!She will never get better,nicotine hasn't just altered her health but her mind-who says other drugs are worse they still have an effect just as catastrophic as others.

My doctor accused me of smoking since 5th grade,and wouldn't beleive me when I said it wasn't me that it was from my parents-I feel your pain.

alcohol
Rx
Weed
Cocaine

This is the order that I have tried things. These are the only drugs I've done and I could probably tell you how many puffs, joints and lines I did. I'm not big into drugs.

Mad Dog 20/20 when I was 13 ha ha ha.
Weed at 15, cigs at 16.
That's all I've ever done. Now I don't do any....I'm kinda lame.

hmn...well, I started smokingwhen I was 7, so I SHOULD have said that, but I forgot about it. I said alcohol, but barring nicotine, I POROBABLY should've said prescription drug. I abused Vicodine before alcohol.

i smoked a cig at 12
6mos later weed
then beer.

I tried cigarettes in highschool, never became a smoker though.
Drank occasionally as a senior in highschool
Tried pot once in Amsterdam (24)

I do have a few glasses of wine a week, now.

ooooh Amsterdam is a dirty dirty place.
coca? coca?

Quoting .mary.ann.:“ ooooh Amsterdam is a dirty dirty place. coca? coca?”

Lol, I actually smoked over at the Bulldog near the Hardrock, I've only been through the RLD during the day when it was quite...but we've heard stories about how people walk around offering hard drugs for sale.

I love Amsterdam, we had been up there several times before I got brave enough to try anything. They're starting to shut things down, hubby and I need to see a sex show before they run them all out lol.

the homeless men follow you saying coca coca coca?

I put cigs but, I was drinking first, then I went to my brother's house at 17 and smoked a ton and never went back (hoping to quit soon). smoked pot about a month after that. Then at 19 I did E, but I think it was a bunk pill (thank god) Then I tried mushroons, and after the second timeandfreaking out I'll never do that again. Then I didcocain, andLOVED it, but only did it a handfull of times. If I didn't have a child I'm sure I would do it again. But thank goodness it's out of thequestion.
