This has probably been done before, but nothing came up on the first page of search so I figure i'll do it anyway. This poll is only counting drugs you have tried, not regular use.
I realize there are many kinds of amphetamines, but for the sake of brevity I won't bother listing them all. Theres no intentionally listing in regards to danger or quality in my mind, although it might seem that way.
The only drugs i've ever used on a regular basis is weed, although I enjoy lib caps when they're in season, and peyotes when i have the money, thought never as often as i would like.
Its by no means a complete list, if you mention something i missed i'll add it to the poll.
-
I wished liberty caps grew around here :(
-
8. Though there are a few that I have tried that aren't on that list.
-
I don't see caffeine up there. That's a huge one for a lot people here I suspect.
I've done 4 on that list.
-
Yup, or Ketamine. There are also quite a few chemicals like 5-MEO-DIPT, AMT, or 2-CB missing.
-
7
it would be 8, if I counted salvia, but I think the "salvia" I tried was bunk
-
Inhalants too.
-
damn I feel left out... just cigarettes and alcohol here... although I feel I should get half credit on the weed from standing by all of the stoners at the pizza place i worked at.
-
Yeah, I've tried cigarettes, alcohol, and marijuana. I guess you could count caffeine as well, if it were on the list.
-
I'm surprised so few people have tried peyote or mescaline
-
oh yeah cause you know how abundant that peyote is....
you know I never really feel compelled to do any of this stuff. With drinking I dont really get drunk. I can just down hard shit till im about sick and my head really doesnt get messed up. I slur, talk loudly, and lose my motor skills but I can carry on a perfectly decent convo. At this point I really want to smoke weed for the first time at a protest just to make a point. I feel like if weed were legal I'd smoke it but right now im not that into it. I'm particular about my alcohol and my cigarettes and I would be particular with weed. I'd like to be able to go get wine cooler grade, beer grade, cocktail grade, and liquor grade stuff and know exactly what im getting.

Alcohol
Tobacco
Cannabis
-
I only chose tobacco and cannabis in the poll because this was about the things you've tried but don't do on a regular basis. I guess I drink alcohol semi-regularly, so I didn't choose it.

The question is "What drugs have you tried"

Then the person should change this - "Question: Which drugs have you tried"

Hey, don't get all wigged on me for actually reading the first post. :P

Did five. I used to smoke, and now enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. Every now and then, a drink.
I used to smoke, and grow, pot. Then, gave it up when our five-year old started asking what that funny smell was. Nothing quite smells like fresh growing marijuana. No, it's not addicting. Gave it up without a bit of hesitation. Now, cigarettes--that's addicting!
LSD is out of style now, but was really popular when I was in my twenties. At least for me, it's awful stuff, and I never enjoyed it. What's to enjoy? You can't think, or even function, everything is all messed up, and it just won't go away. You can't even go to sleep.
Now, amphetamines are another story altogether. It's great...too great. No matter how boring things might be, half a hit can make the experience amazing. Trouble is, before you know it, it's three days since you've seen a bed, and you can feel your skin start to crawl. And, forget about sex. ("Feel that buzzing? That's your brain dissolving.")

You don't use alcohol regularly...by regular use he probably means every single day.

Loose definition, I guess. Open to interpretation until submitter clarifies.

I wasn't getting wigged out..I just think if you're going to do something like a poll be consistent. Oh and I got kisses too...which is always a plus coming from you. ;)
-
Regular use does not mean once a god damn week. It means REGULAR, like constant. Jesus Christ on a pogo stick.
-
Don't do ecstasy. The first time you do it, it destroys your blood brain barrier, opening your brain to lots of nasties and pathogens.
-
I can't believe more people have done shrooms and acid than coke. I can't walk two blocks without falling face first into a pile of powder.
-
What about roids (AAS) and under which drug does hillbilly heroin go?

None of the above. I don't know about the steroids, but I guess he could have added a "prescription drug" category of some kind for the OC. It seems kind of pointless for the purposes of the poll though, which seems to be drugs of purely recreational value, seeing as a great number of people are prescribed and use those pain killers for actual pain killing purposes.
edit: Nevermind. I forgot amphetamines were on there.
-
Just pot and a little alchie, but that's it. I don't like either or I should say it better, I don't feel a need for either. It's weird. My father is the addictive personality and I'm not. Go figure.
-
Inhalants too.
I get that all the try at work. Grease Strip Plus really sucks when you are inside a oven breathing that shit.

I would never be able to find coke around here (if I wanted to).

9. And this poll needs nitrous oxide.

So nobody's tried Horse, eh?

nutmeg and jimson
-
I want to watch someone go through the whole nutmeg process one weekend from eating to hangover.
-
I can't believe so few of us have taken LSD... I guess I made up for you slackers when I was in college.
And, where the hell is PCP on this poll? Surely more than one of us has tried it.... right?
(PS, if you haven't -- don't. Especially do not overdose on it. Oh my dear sweetlord jeeeezus you never knew how weird reality truly is....)
-
As far as I go, I'd just as soon stick with stuff that doesnt burn you out. MJ is fine every now and then if you arent prone to addiction. The rest maybe 3-4 times but thats tops for my taste.
-
Alcohol is it for me, though I've probably inhaled enough second-hand smoke to count tobacco as well.
-
I wonder who tried crack?

Hahahahahaha. I hadn't noticed that. :lol:

What is Datura and why has no-one tried it?
-
Erowid is your friend:
http://erowid.org/plants/datura/datura.shtml
-
Datura seems to contain Atropine, which we give in the hospitals to patients who are about to die of heart problems. Atropine will artificially spike up their heart rates to give them one last chance to recover. Typically it doesn't work :(

It works wonders on TV.

you live in california
i don't even think peyote is available this far north...
-
Why isn't Huffin' gas or Robobuzz on here! Geesh! :lol:
FunkD
-
Just tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis. And caffeine, though it isn't on here. Caffeine and alcohol are the only two I do with any sort of regularity, and I don't drink alcohol that often (only once this month).

San Pedro cactus also carries the active ingredient Mescaline (albeit at lower concentrations) and is unregulated, it also grows more diversely.
-
I found a 18" San Pedro in the grocery store a few years ago, just sitting there among the potted plants.

Did you buy it?

Heck yea I bought it. Because shoplifting a 18" cactus seemed like a bad idea.

I was just making sure that you didn't pass up such a glaring opportunity.

I wonder who tried crack?
5. crack 288 up, 41 down (From Urban Dictionary)
Otherwise known as crack-cocaine, this illegal drug is a mixture of two parts cocaine and one part baking soda. This chemical process reverts the powder-cocaine mkaing process by one step, producing a smokable form of the naturally found alkaloid cocaine. Because of its nature as an inhalable substance, the high is quicker and more intense, leading to a larger number of addicts. In present society, it is considered to be much more distasteful to use crack-cocaine then powder-cocaine as crack is mainly viewed as a drug for poor people whereas powder cocaine is used by a richer constituancy. Contrary to popular belief, crack-cocaine is not freebase cocaine. Freebase cocaine is a mixture of cocaine, ether, and other dangerous and combustable materials. Baking soda was replaced as the ingredient in the 1980's to make production easier and less dangerous. Either way, crack and freebase cocaine produce the same smokable form of the drug.
I think the poll is a little low.

The number 4 seems pretty low, but 4 out of (currently) 46 voters is quite a bit higher of a ratio than the general population. I'm not sure how this poll is tallying 4 of 46 as 1.8 percent of voters; it should be more like 8.6 percent. I'm guessing it's tallying every vote cast and dividing the individual categories by that number, which is giving misleading results.

I laughed at this almost as much as at your "I figured it was just aliens" post. I really wish I could hit [applaud] right now.

Yeah, its not a real accurate cross section to begin with. I'm not saying the board is loaded with drug addicts, but theres an inordinately higher number of recreational user types here as opposed to a general survey of citizens. Given that fact, since the numbers of other substances might be elevated in comparison with the number of those surveyed, crack seems low.
Example: There are 48 polled (a day later). If you went out in the street and picked 48 people at random, I dont think you'll get 41 people who have tried pot. So, out of that high ratio of people who are more willing to experiment, nobody ever passed them a pipe with a chunk of rock in it? I'm not saying I actually disbelieve it, but maybe its just an anomoly because people never actually sat down and had a crack-smokin session. I'll bet more people have taken a whack or two off the pipe than clicked that option.

I have already tried LSD, cocaine, and meth. I used to smoke cigs and pot a lot, and I now do alcohol and caffeine. I would likely still do pot in certain circumstances (one of those being it being legalized). In fact, I'd prefer to smoke pot than drink alcohol.
I would like to try opium, mescaline and shrooms, but it'd have to be a planned thing - like I need a babysitter and not have to be anywhere that day or the next.
-
What surprises me is that two who voted have never tried alcohol. However, Lindsey has already stated that she skipped because she partakes regularly. So, is the other miss a complete virgin when it comes to alcohol, or a regular user (like Lindsey)?
-
Lindsey should have just checked alcohol anyway.
-
2 more people have checked crack, but nobody will fess up
I also wonder who has tried meth....but no one has tried heroin
-
Apple, you get any peyote out there?
-
not where I'm at, probably farther south/southwest
-
Well go peyote hunting and hook a nigga up.
-
I will fess up. One of them was me. I made some stupid decisions with my drug use back in the mid 90's.
But I think the crack and crystal meth was less damaging than the jimson weed.

Okay people...where are the other four of you?
-
what the fuck is jimson weed?
is that like "wet"?
-
Oops. Jimson weed is datura. I guess I should have a 1 in that category as well. I didn't recognize it by that name.
I'll have to tell that story latter, I have to go.
-
Bump.
-
Weed...Speed...Barbituates...Booze...Tobacco...Mushrooms(the most fun)
Only booze and (tobacco..have quit for 11 months...YEA!!!) in the last 20 years.
-
Me: Alcohol, Tobacco, Cannabis, LSD, Opium
I <3 opioids. I also occasionally like muscle relaxants like Soma.
I have known a lot of people who did/do Meth.
-
Pot

Caps

I don't really include Shrooms, because the only time I tried them it was a REALLY bad trip.
-
Inhalants too.
