I only drink at parties and don't smoke cigarettes, but my weed consumptions is through the roof, mostly because its so easy to get and do with mates, and its not even a bad drug, when did you last hear of someone ODing on weed? I've done MDMA a few times and probably will do again, but it's something I approach with at least 2 weeks planning so we don't get caught (by police of otherwise), and to make sure that we don't have more than necessary to prevent any unfortunate incidents. I don't see the big deal as long as you're not reckless with it. (I'm 17 but 18 this month (WHOO!))

I had a sip of beer once when I was a kid, but I thought it was gross and never drank the stuff again. I also dislike the taste of grapes so I never really drink wine (I have tasted it though, it was even worse than beer). I've never taken drugs for recreational purposes, though sometimes I get sick and have to take cough syrup or headache pills, but that's about it.
Hmm my varying opinion is reason enough for you to promote a substance with permanent brain damage side-effect. How nice. I'm sorry champ but I've spent many hours on erowidrhodo said:
We both have our opinions and our facts supporting them, no amount of biased logic will change either of us. On a parting note I was of similar mindset until I took my first trip, needless to say its changed. Best of luck.
I wonder if most grown people who never drank or did drugs are virgins too. I was until I turned 28. I loved being a virgin. I bragged about it all the time. Because I was not a virgin for some goody-two-shoes reason. I was a virgin because I wanted to draw attention to G-rated Shock Value. Because I love being G-rated and I love being bad. I never want to be bad or good in an R-rated way. And I don't want to be good in a G-rated way either. I actually want to be more bad than R-rated people without doing R-rated things.
Man, I was like the best in the world at abstinence. I should have gotten a championship belt for it. Maybe I did. I forget.
G-rated Shock Value
"No bad words. Just bad ideas."

I've had sips of wine to taste it (never liked any of it) but beyond that I've never drank. Alcohol is expensive, most of it tastes rotten and I don't socialize in the kinds of setting where it really plays a role.
Never tried drugs, for no particular reason. It just doesn't interest me.

I've had alcohol once, mostly to be polite to the family I was staying with (for a study abroad program) at the time. Even then, I'm incredibly paranoid about anything that affects my state of mind, so I've never even been buzzed, yet alone drunk. One side of my family has a history with alcohol addiction, and I'm just stubborn enough that I don't want to know how hard it'd be to kick something like that. The other side has naturally weak lungs and smoke cigarettes despite that. Seeing the ugly long-term effects its had on their health is enough to make me never want to go anywhere near the damn things, not to mention that the secondhand smoke alone can give me migraines.
Fortunately, my immediate family never got out of hand, and for the most part either completely or partially kicked their respective vices long before I was born. However, it meant that I was kind of raised in a very "anti-drug" kind of household, and I was never really curious about trying them myself. I'm a little more open-minded now about others' use of recreational drugs nowadays, so long as it doesn't hit life-ruining levels. However, I don't think I would ever want to use them personally.

I've never done either. I just simply had no desire to drink or do drugs. I can't stand the smell of alcohol or drugs like weed. I don't even want to be 20 feet near anyone who smokes. I NEVER gave into peer pressure as a teen. It didn't bother me if I wasn't doing what everyone one else was doing.
If they decided to jump off a bridge I sure as hell wasn't following them.

I drink alcohol socially...probably once or twice a month at most. I think it's fine if you're not stupid and drink copious amounts and pass out.
I have smoked weed just once, same with cigarettes. As far as I am concerned, I don't like it. Other 'party' drugs I don't think I will ever touch just because they don't seem worth it to me. Maybe those people just aren't enjoying life enough and need to take a drug to mess with their brain and make them feel temporarily happier despite the negative side-effects and dangers of doing so but I don't know.
However...if that's what you want to do then I'm not going to try and stop you and I won't seem like I am judging you (although I am secretly). I don't think someone saying 'you shouldn't do that' is going to make anyone stop taking them. I think it's something that people have to realize/'wake-up to' themselves.
Maybe one day drug-users will have an epiphany and decide/realize that drugs aren't helping them at all...or maybe one day they won't be able to get out of bed without drugs to act as a 'pick me up'. So they may either clean up their act and make their own happiness or end up a junkie who needs the drugs to 'live'.

I've drank more times than I care to remember. I've woke up in weird places sans pants many times. Started at 14 and will probably drink into the forseeable future.
I've smoked weed more times than I can count also. I've not made a habit of it.
I've snorted cocains and rubbed it around my mouth for the delicious numbness.
I've swallowed, chewed, crushed and snorted various pills on numerous occasions.
I've drop LSD on a handful of times.
Reading this forum I feel like a drug fiend.

I don't do drugs
Except for alcohol and tobacco...
Okay, I do taxed drugs, taxed drugs are okay.
Its those untaxed drugs you want to look out for, those are bad drugs.
Hmmm how does this fucking work I wonder.

There's a small risk in snowboarding. There's a high risk in taking some drugs. There's a smaller risk in taking other drugs. It's not about understanding the effects alone, it's about understanding them and weighing out how large that risk is and the benefits and costs. Ultimately it's a very personal decision.rhodo said:

You drink and smoke but then "don't do drugs" and find it stupid when people do, when many illegal drugs are much less harmful than those legal ones.Bittersteel said:
I despise that mentality.
25 years old; I've never really seen the point of getting drunk, high, or stoned. I like staying lucid most of the time, I don't want to risk doing something stupid when I'm not really in control of myself, etc. And if I wanted an altered mental state, I could just skip sleeping for a couple of days for a similar effect with less chance of damage than most chemicals and more time to play.
That's not to say I object to other people using them; I think crack and nicotine and the like are stupid ideas that have a high risk for very little reward, but I have absolutely no problem with other people taking pot, alcohol, mushrooms, or other fairly safe drugs (so long as they don't combine them with guns, vehicles, and other deadly machinery of course). Especially if you do so with people you trust, in case something goes wrong.
Alcohol is something I currently specifically avoid, because it might trigger my migraines (haven't tested much, because the reward of 'being able to drink' is worth less to me than the cost of 'one more terrible migraine').
I do very much enjoy high quality root beer, ginger ale, sarsparilla, etc. So someday I might end up liking the higher quality alcoholic beverages in small quantities, but again I just don't see the appeal of getting drunk.

Personally, I didn't drink until I came of the legal age (18, as I am Australian) despite most people I know having had something before then and while it seems Australia is pretty heavy on the drinking culture, I don't tend to drink much and what I do is for the taste.
As for legitimate drugs, I don't smoke due to it's expense, bad smell smell, no gains and it has a stupid amount of health risks and I also sing which would be pretty heavily affected; I have had a few cigars, though that is only for special occasions.
I have never done (and intend to never do) illicit drugs - the latter being partly due to knowing my mother's story of how marijuana in her early twenties hastened a severe mental illness, which it seems is backed up by studies.

I drink occasionally, that's it. Never smoked, never taken any drugs for recreational purposes.Relish in Chaos said:
It just never appealed to me. I think smoking is a waste of money, and I just think taking recreational drugs isn't particularly sensible.
That said, I don't mind legalising things like marijuana. It's a good opportunity to regulate the sale of the stuff, make sure what gets sold is of a good purity and not laced with something else, and drive a revenue stream of the criminal underworld out.
I used to be highly religious and vehemently opposed to illegal drugs (and by extension, homosexuality, women's rights to the priesthood, anything that demeaned the faith and liberals/benefit scroungers).
Nowadays I'm an atheist and believe that all drugs should be treated equally, people are a result of their environment and genetics and that if god does exist, he's proved beyond reasonable doubt that he doesn't care about us in the slightest.
I'm not saying either is right. I'm just telling you about how the two sides can be seen by the same person. Make of it what you will.

I have never taken any recreational drugs, and never smoked, and didn't even start drinking till I was 19 (I live in Ireland where the legal age is 18, by the way, not that that influenced me in the slightest, i just didn't want to drink). Nowdays I drink probably once every two weeks, but not huge amounts either.
I drink too much coffee, so caffeine is pretty much always running through my system, and I drink socially but I've been interesting in anything else. Not for any kind of moral or health reason, it's mostly just because it always seemed like a waste of money. I look at the amount of money people spend on even the less "objectionable" stuff (tobacco or marijuana) and it just looks like throwing money away. I mean, alcohol or coffee costs as well, but at least have calories (assuming you put milk in your coffee), so there's some nutritional value that you're getting out of it at least.
I've had prescription drugs, but no "street" drugs, and I don't like the taste of alcohol. No smoking or drinking for me out of preference.
I enjoy hanging out with people who use social alcohol/ mixed drinks etc, but I don't drink.

I don't use rec drugs and don't drink. I don't want to use is my reason - Brockton Mass; nuff said. Those who really are clean and sober and have never tried drugs are welcomed to contact me anytime.
I admire those that don't drink or do drugs. I do, however, get annoyed by those that don't do it and preach about how bad it is.
