this thread is making me feel pathetically middle-aged: even though i'm only 25, i've pretty much stopped doing drugs except for a few big blow-outs once or twice a year, as i've found that i enjoy baking cakes and listening to radio 4 on sunday mornings too much! the idea of spending sundays trying to get home on the bus in the freezing cold after doing drugs until the cold sweats come with a load of other people trying to avoid eye contact with each other puts me off drugs when raving now.

i just can't stand the idea of spending half the week miserable after doing drugs- how do the regular drug users on here cope with it?

If I hadn't had family problems, and not witnessed some pretty outrageous things as a kid, I probably would never even have done drugs. This is what I think. My doctor disagrees with this. But I honestly think I would've had my bipolar onset a lot later, and it would never have gotten as bad. The doctor thinks I self-medicate (I do).

Of course, the logical conclusion to a drug habit is usually to recede into the Oedipal anyway, make your own little Oedipal corner in the world [start a family! get a car! watch tv!] so what is the difference between being a junkie forever and having a family? I ask.

My boyfriend and I were discussing this yesterday. Is life really better clean? No.

Ecstasy was a revelation for me at age 19, the one really great thing in my otherwise boring and mediocre life.

But the depression I suffered for at least three or four days after just got worse and worse, total bleakness and self loathing, to the point where it felt like I'd never recover. I don't go clubbing much now, and it's sort of died in Liverpool anyway, but I'd never take it again. It's like I'm not ALLOWED to enjoy myself that much.

So I'm a boring old man in the pub at 24. Cheers, life.

i think it's the sleeplessness that pisses me off about drugs the most. the desperation to get some sleep, but the complete inability to do so

(and that weird waking-dream MDMA/amphetamine sleep-delerium where you're not really asleep, but the same nonsensical thought is whirling round your head over and over is fucking brutal)

i've found valium to be a cruelly short term solution.

I can fall asleep on anything. And eat. I can eat like a five course meal on coke.

wow. i don't even wanna eat after drinking too much tea! and i don't like eating on weed either, isn't that strange? sure i get the munchies like everyone, but i prefer not to eat as it kills the high. when i'm smoking weed i'm usually completely immersed in some music or design project and the rest of the world cease to exist for the duration -- and it lasts until i absolutely pass out from exhaustion, often when the sun is coming up... :eek:

Im maniacal and paranoid and unstable enough as it is without drugs. I am basically drugs (to quote Dali) everyone thinks I'm on meth pretty much constantly anyway... they fundamentally disappointed me as I thought I could inculcate a bloody revolution with them, and they never had that effect on anyone else and they just become another pathetic crutch to make up for the fact that life is irredeemably grey and repugnant... and they never ever made music sound better, at all.

So yeah Im joining the young/old bastards in the pub for a (one) beer.

But I still like the concept of drugs...

a wonderful wooden reason
so if you have an unlimited supply of quality stuff, prolonged heroin use is much, much better than prolonged use of any of the others.
There's a documentary that's been on UK TV a couple of times about heroin which is basically this guy campaigning for some kind of decriminalisation. He talks to a lot of junkies about their problems and shows that most of their health problems come from contaminated shit and not having enough money to eat. He also talks to a couple of people who have been on medical grade smack for 30/40 years and are absolutely doing fine.

acid makes music sound better

i am not paranoid at all without drugs, i am so laid back it's kind of a problem, i kind of need something to make me care about things at all. i guess that's called anhedonia.

one of my ex-junkie friends who actually was a lesbian escort who slept with guys for lots of money just said to me "i have this friend you would like, he's a melancholic like you guys"

i was kind of offended by that

this is a lie, the tissue grows back

there was a d list celeb over here in the uk (daniella westbrook) that did 100k of coke in a few years who completely lost the division between her nostrils, leaving her with a monostril. don't think thats going to be growing back any time soon, without the aid of plastic surgery anyway.

on the plus side she can now do foot thick lines without any difficulty whatsoever.
