Does anyone else here besides me dislike it? Mostly all it does is make me sleepy and too hot, and nauseous.

I've tried a lot of drugs in my life...cocaine, crack, prescription drugs...and alcohol is by far the worst. Yet it's the most popular. I can only guess this is due to its prevalence and social acceptance.

Or...you react differently from most people?

I love booze because it's tasty. Perhaps you should stop drinking to blackout off of rotgut, and take the time to have a glass of something that isn't MD 20/20?

I probably react differently from most people. I've had people say marijuana makes them paranoid or sleepy. Doesn't do that to me.

Alcohol makes me sleepy, drinking a beer or two is a great cure for insomnia. I can't even get drunk to have sex like most people do cuz I just fall asleep right in the bed.

I tried weed once, in college. I spent the entire night plotting the best way to murder my friends while we were out on the town, and had the overwhelming desire to take a bath in their entrails.

I know it wasn't laced, because they had the same stuff and did not have the same reaction.

Rather than assume it was a terrible drug, however, I just assumed there was something wrong with me, and have stayed away since.

I've definitely heard of people freaking out from weed, when they smoke a lot of it during their first, second or third time...it could hit them really hard if its strong weed, and since they don't know what to expect, it COULD have a hallucinatory type of effect. It's rare but it can happen.

The calming effect really starts to kick in when you build up a tolerance

Yeah that's a really weird reaction to pot. I would say for 99% of people weed is a huge calming effect, even for the most doucheist of assholes on the planet. Unfortunately alcohol is somewhat seemingly the complete opposite for *some* people


Booze mellows me out and makes me chatty. Not like in an obnoxious won't-shut-up way, for some reason I end up asking a lot of questions that make people talk about themselves instead of yammering on about something stupid and being loud.

Used to be we'd get a bit rambunctious, but I think switching from cheap booze mixed with soda to expensive straight liquors had an effect.

I've done that before too and it's a waste of weed, the alcohol always takes precedence. I can't tell the difference between being drunk and being drunk + high, feels the same. *shrug*

2 times I've had a negative reaction to weed, it sucks when your throat muscles relax so you can't even clear your throat when it gets stuck up. Hard to focus on much besides breathing for 20-30 minutes. One of the times I had 2 vodka drinks beforehand though. I don't use it often at all though, my tolerance was low and inadvertently took too much.

Yeah it sounds like you smoked too much. You also might have an allergic reaction to smoke, I never heard of being unable to cough when you smoke it. Usually people cough like crazy when they take big hits.

You could try not smoking it...vaporize or eat

yeah alcohol is by far the worst drug i've ever had the pleasure of doing. so many other drugs out there that are far more enjoyable.

i contribute it to it being a poor man's drug, peer pressure, college, etc

I think crack is the best drug I've ever tried. I only did it twice but it makes you feel like superman.

I've never done any hallucinogenic drugs, never did ecstasy, so maybe those are even better.

having done crack and commonly prescribed ADHD drugs like adderall and ritalin I can say the effect is very similar. If your kid ever has ADHD and a doctor recommends adderall or ritalin, tell them you don't want your child to be cracked out all the time. That stuff is really easy to OD on and before you know it you're staying up nights, gritting your teeth and causing wounds to the inside of your mouth.

i haven't tried those either. i've always tried to stick to mild things that can enhance activities and not overpower. crack/mdma/etc always seemed that they may be just too much. half that stuff is dosed way too high or cut with other stuff anyway.

i definitely want to try some shrooms, though.

ISO: shrooms.

edit: i take adderall/vyvanse everyday. that dose must be crazy high for it to cause hardcore teeth grinding and open wounds. bruxism is common, but not actual grinding.

Yeah adderall is a really common recreational drug for kids in school, they sell the pills. You overdose on it, and you get effects that are very similar to crack. It's so easy to get hooked on because not only does it make you feel great, it also gives you confidence kinda similar to how alcohol does lowers your inhibitions, and also makes normally boring stuff like school work seem super fun.

Haha when I have to grind something out or raid in an MMO I get wasted and it's much more tolerable than when I'm sober.

With weed, paranoia doesn't have anything to do with tolerance. Freaking out, paranoia, over-analyzing, feeling uneasy about society and his surroundings, happen all the time to a certain somebody over the years.

I love drinking, I hate the hangovers and migraines.

my problem is that most of the drugs available are downers, and just make me go to sleep, and then I don't sleep right because I start dreaming before I'm fully asleep.

If I didn't like it so much, and it wasn't so expensive, I'd to coke.

I actually end up using way less of both when I mix.

As for alcohol, I actually find myself drinking less and less of it as I'm working around it all the time. I've learned a lot about knowing when just to dump the rest out. I like to try things way more than consume them. So I would rather have a bar full of mini's and 12 oz's than 6 packs and 750's.
