mmm, well, i am careful with drugs because my sister is a drug addict who has had several bad overdoses and i don't want to end up like she was, living on the streets and doing heroin and cocaine every day. i don't support drug use in general because i know developing addictions is a terrible thing. in terms of personal experience, well...
i'm currently on 30mg of Paxil per day as an anti-depressant/anti-anxiety medication, and i have 20mg Xanax pills that i can use as needed. for a while, i was really stressed and i became addicted to Paxil and Xanax, where i was regularly taking a lot more than i should have. there was a day that i took a lot of Xanax when i got home from school, and i fell into a really deep sleep for 18 hours straight, missing school the next day (because my mom absolutely could not wake me when she tried and alarms were no use). around that time i was also selling my various prescription medicines to some people at school. nowadays i've gotten a bit better about my habit of abusing and selling my meds, though.
i've never smoked weed but i guess i wouldn't mind trying. my lungs are kind of bad though so that would be my only concern. also, i don't want to spend a lot of money on it or be using it a lot, especially not when i have important school stuff to attend to. well whatever i'll probably be trying it soon; it's becoming easy to access since me and my friends are going through high school. some friends have offered, and i'll probably end up doing it sometime just to try it.
in terms of other things... well, i've tried salvia once. it was kind of on accident, hah. but umm that was interesting, to say the least. short-lived though and kind of terrifying. might do it again. i've also done dramamine-- yeah the motion sickness stuff. for those who don't know, it can be a powerful hallucinogenic if you take like 9 to 12 of them. it's really crazy... definitely something to have a trip-sitter for.
oh i used to take loads of robitussin all the time. i kind of got mentally addicted to it, i guess. so i was doing it pretty often. eventually, though, my body got sick of it and i couldn't keep it down anymore (it is pretty disgusting). so that was that, and i haven't done it since. i probably won't do more because it was pretty gross and not worth it i guess.
nitrous oxide is pretty cool too. actually, i get it every time i go to the dentist because i have a history of really bad anxiety with doctors of all sorts. the stuff you get at the dentist is the best quality there is, so i actually enjoy appointments there now. really interesting stuff-- the ceiling changes colors, you feel like you're floating, you focus on smaller background noises rather than whats important, sounds repeat... i ended up going home and i tried to use the nitrous from whipped cream cans to get high. it's okay but not really a good idea (food particles get in the lungs, and food-grade nitrous just isn't as good as professional-use stuff), so i don't really do that now.
i think that's about all there is with my drug experiences... but yeah so basically they're a part of my everyday life and they're all around me these days. i don't really know what my view on drugs, especially illegal ones, is. basically, i just don't want to get arrested or addicted. maybe i'll have other things that i try in the future, just for the experience of it, but hey maybe not. i don't really know~
