Gateway drug

posted 16th Dec '08
I'd like to conduct an informal poll.

If you've used any of the substances listed in the poll, please select which was the very first that you tried. I can only select 10 options, so I've limited the poll to the most commonly used/abused substances.

I love your common list. I've done all but one. (I've done cocaine, not crack. But, I've never done heroine.) But, uhh. I honestly, have no idea which of which I did first.

Either cigarettes or pot.

Given the relative availability, I believe most people are likely to try alcohol or cigarettes before they try anything else.

So far, my poll seems to be bearing this out.

But, it's still early so we'll see, heh.

I drink or use to socially and prob will again everyonce in a while after i have my baby and i can go out sometimes. I've tried somking weed like 3 times and i juts didn't get it. I think i only got high and inhaled once. it made me smile alot and sleepy. I really have no desire to do it again. Never even wanted to try anything else. I read and seen what it does to people lives. I've seen what a weed addiction can do to someone as far as money and relationship wise so that has alot to do with why i don't smoke it and i know every other drug is worse. I'm pretty innocent when it comes to drug use.

I was an alcoholic by age 16 and had to go to rehab for a couple of months. (Sad, I know) I'm happy to say I don't even touch the stuff anymore and I shouldn't anyways since I'm not 21 lol. Even when I am legal, I don't plan on drinking.

I can almost bet, that with the younger crowd here, 'scripts will get move votes than cigarettes or alcohol. It's the "cool" thing to do these days.

I've never done anything other than a few drinks, and when I say a few I mean like 12 alcoholic drinks in the space of me being 16, I have no desire for it really, I cannot stand the taste of alcohol.

As far as all the others go my dad used to do the majority of them, and dealt a majority of them, he is a screw up, he's a weed addict and he is so far gone that he doesn't know one piece of shit from another.
His partner was an acid addict, and she needs serious help, she has screwed up mine and my sister's relationship with our dad, she severely paranoid never has good days, and is a more than crap mother to her 16 year old, who has had two abortions and just basically flown off the rails.....

Seeing what these do to you is more than good enough a reason to steer well clear.

It is 7:10 am ,I don't think your mind ever shuts down does it,lmao.As for the poll I wonder if age has an influence,considering they didn't have a couple of those things when I was experimenting with drugs.

No, not really. heh.

I've been up and down all night with a cold, I manage about an hour of sleep and then wake up coughing.

And I imagine if I broke it down by age, you'd likely see a variation in which was the first used, due to relative availability and prevailing trends at the time.

I'm always shocked when I find someone older than I am on gaga, I sometimes get into the mindset of being an elder statesman, heh. Everyone seems so young here.

Quoting Dee_Due in April{Girl}:“ Scripts??”

I believe that refers to prescriptions, though I'm not positive.

I never understood why some people do drugs to fit it. I mean if your going to do 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

I smoked from the age of 14, started drinking cheap cider with my friends at the weekend shortly after that. I'd smoke joints as well, but I honestlycouldn't havecared less about the weed. I just wanted the nicotine  . I quit weed without a problem. Nicotine was a much harder habit to break, but I quit that2 years ago. I quitdrinking about 4 weeks ago  .
I was never really interested in other drugs. I never tried them. I don't enjoy being in an altered state (I don't even like being drunk). I had friends that moved on to speed, and friends that are still heavy pot addicts. Smoking really seemed to be the starting point.
