Is experimenting with drugs worth trying before I die?

I'd recommend mushrooms to any healthy male. It's a spiritual awakening. LSD is bad, mmkay.

Only you know what type of person you are and what you can handle. You might be someone who can try drugs a few times and be completely fine, or you might be someone who ends up on the street clutching a crack pipe. Just reminding you to proceed with caution!

Nothing feels better than a perc 30 after a race. Also def do mushrooms, molly is OK but makes you really emotional and I would recommend Coke & aderrol. I actually like adderol over coke because coke is awesome but fleeting while adderol just puts me in a good constant feeling.

This is very true. Right after high school during a phase, my one friend was dabbling in drugs and his recently ex-girlfriend died in a horrible car crash and he was notified while he was on drugs. He proceeded to binge on drugs and can still be seen to this day years later on the streets. It's sad. His mother has a restraining order on him and he tries to assault people like his friends if they approach him. We've chalked it up to that the drugs destroyed him permanently. So sad.

I firmly believe not all drugs are that bad, but I would urge you to stay away if you have any history or family history of mental illness. Drugs can be a trigger for things like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Much safer to stay away from substances if you have a family history of either of those.

Also something to consider, do not do drugs if you ever plan to work with kids. Friend of mine got busted for shrooms and can no longer be a teacher the rest of his life. Ridiculous and sad story as he was great at it and the kids loved him.

I would stay away from cocaine regardless.

Full Disclosure:

I've done drugs. I do drugs. I've done drugs in the bad times, I've done drugs in the good times. Never caught a habit. When I feel I'm slipping into one, I stop all usage of everything (even caffeine) for a month or three and then see where I am after my system is cleaned out.

Drugs are for people who have crappy lives they want to escape from. it does not enhance anything, it just masks their miserable lives for a little while. There is no sane reason to try drugs, and their are risks. For some drugs the risk of harm may be low, but it's still a risk. It's also illegal, and why take the risk of breaking the law just to waste a few hours of your life that you will never get back.

You are a runner? Running is beautiful because it makes you alive, completely alive and very much aware of living life to it's full potential. Drugs are the opposite of that. They are the source of almost endless amounts of misery for many many people.

Don't waste your time, your money on the needless risk. You will gain nothing and really only are taking on the potential to not just lose a few hours of your life, but potentially do yourself a great deal of harm. A drug conviction for possession of a drug is not the way to a happy future, etc.

Haha. No way this is true, judgy judger who judges too much.

OP, you are WAY TOO YOUNG to be doing drugs. Find something else to do and different people to be with. At a young age drugs really, really mess with your body's development. Revisit the topic at least in your 20's or later.

REMINDER

As others have posted, it is possible you are predisposed to addiction and trying drugs would be a terrible idea no matter what age. When you are much older than you are now, you will have more information to work with to decide.

Before you die? Sure. I fully intend to spend my last year in a constant stupor. Not kidding. But, I've got some time before I get there.

Yes, but do your research. E.g. things like "MDMA" are often meth + whatever research chemicals (which is why they relabeled it from Ecstasy in the first place, because everyone knew that drug was mostly meth). The same can be said for LSD, where a lot of not-LSD is sold as such. And don't do it regularly. Real MDMA, for example, should be done at most a couple times in your life. Your brain uses these chemicals for important purposes; don't f*ck with it too much.

People from many walks of life try drugs, but it does not make sense to me. The benefits of doing drugs is very, very little. The risk is disproportionately high. Doing drugs is an escape from reality, and there are much safer ways to escape from reality - or better yet, make your reality badass as best you can.

Personally, I'm nearing 40 years old and have not tried any drug, with the exception of caffeine, occasional alcohol, and two cigarettes. I do not regret abstaining from drugs and am happy to have decided against them.

Then you don't know what you're talking about, so why are you responding? C'mon, man, sit down.

If you're not going to keep doing something, why start?

Try talking to at least some friends who it didn't work out for so well. Most of my friends who had some serious problems at school (like almost being kicked out or actually getting kicked out) DID NOT say that this happened because of their steering clear of drugs.

Some people CAN "experiment a few times" and still be the same person. But what happens if you really like the drugs? Are you ready to use them consistently (even if it is periodically)? Or are you ready to deny yourself them for the rest of your life? Once you have tried them and like them, those are your only two choices.

In other words, you taking them and not really being into them is not the only possible outcome.

I've not watched Fox News/OReilly in years but this link was great. OReily calls the internet a "platform of destruction"

^this. Great response. You're too young now. Since you're on LRC you're likely a runner. I'd recommend waitng until your competitive running days (whether that be after high school, after college, or later) are over to experiment.

It is definitely worth seeing what psychedelics do. Please, please be reasonable and choose a proper drug. Morons pronounce MDMA as nearly harmless because it doesn't KILL that many people. However, it causes extraordinary permanent brain damage.

LSD, Psilocybin, opiates, cocaine, and even drugs that have identical effects to MDMA (like 2C-B dosed right) have exactly zero permanent brain damage. There is no concern whatsoever about addiction from a single use.

Psilocybin, Cannabis

You can learn a lot from those substances.

Spend time with them in a peaceful setting.

They will change you.
