Has anyone here done any of those other than smoking Js?
When I was a teen I took a hit of Chocolate mescaline, also called window pane. I read about it in Wiki today and found that one hit of that runs around 50-100 bucks and is equal to the impact of 250 hits of LSD.
No wonder I'm fucked up. Other than the car accident when I was 13 where my head smashed the windshield oh and that my family is screwed up.. sisters and aunt with BP. I know at least 2 of my brothers have it too.

I don't know if there's a correlation between the 2. Gotta make you wonder though.
But, as for my aunt with BP, I can't picture her doing drugs like that. But then I don't know everything about her. I know my mom smoked pot a few times and she talked about abuse in her family but wasn't clear about it. Now she doesn't remember even who I am. Damn.
what came first, chicken or egg?
i think we self medicate and where the use of illicit drugs and alcohol may worsen mental conditions. i do believe there has to be a genetic disposition or some kind of susceptibility to begin with???
Then a lifetime of pot - 12yrs
coc -10yrs
ex - 5yrs.
Been sober for 2 & a half years.
By the way I really like Tim Burton. Jack rocks. :)
I've done a lot of drugs and, while I don't think they help mental health issues just as alcohol doesn't help, but I don't think they cause MI, I think there are far too many contributing factors for such a simple rationale.
I have done pot, coke, meth and I like prescription pain killers. I have a VERY addictive personality... So I have to really be carefull about what I take and how long I take something.
Having said that, I have been "clean" for 5 years now. I put clean in the "" because I did have a two month stent where I was taking Vicodin and Percocet for a knee injury and it started to become a problem. But Now I am only on the Tegretol, Lexapro and Klonopin A.K.A my Sainty drugs!
One thing I'm glad of is that I didn't surrender to the fact that I suffer from mental illness and thus seek psychiatric treatment until a couple of years after I got sober. I was so toasted on booze by the end and so fragile, if prescription drugs had been in the mix I would have been a gonner. And while I didn't use the harder drugs, I was drinking in skuzzy bars with alcoholics, drug addicts and drug dealers and I was just a whisker off just diving right in and it would have been the needle and it would ave been the end of me. I have no doubt - and of course - it's still a YET.
