    I was thinking should I, should I at least try em to see what the buzz is (pun intended)

    No but I work with a fella who has tried everything. And by everything I mean everything, his outlook is try everything once. He has even tried Rhino ketamine

    No, too much instant gratification leads to an unfulfilled life.

    Each to their own. If you fancy experimenting, go for it but if you take a turn for the worst then you can hardly look back and say that you had the best "buzz" of your life. But whatever floats your boat.

    Yokes are great fun.
    Stoners love going on about weed, but it is a very overrated drug. Good for the makers of Doritos though.

    Weed would be the safest and cheapest for the OP to try. Keep away from pills, they're feckin dodgy.

    Start with Heroin and work your way back.....

    I've never even smoked a joint, but when I'm old and/or terminally ill, I'll try them all, including especially heroin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    They definitely should, if they want to experiment with drugs.

    If they don't want to, then no, they shouldn't.

    You'll probably be on what would be high grade opiates if in pain, so no need to fund the scuzzbuckets by buying the polluted crap.

    Drugs will ruin your life, avoid like the plague. Even if you are mature enough to handle them you have the crime and Gardaí to deal with so it is not worth your time or effort.

    The OP is talking about trying some drugs, not selling them :rolleyes:

    Aside from the fact that people can use drugs at any point in their lives (unless by 'while they can' you mean they're dead?), I wouldn't recommend anyone experiment with any sort of mood or mind altering substances.

    The effects of such substances are well known at this point, so it's not experimenting any more, it's simply a matter of personal choice, and if they show no interest in them, I'm not going to encourage anyone to try them.

    Do they still make magic mushrooms ??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,400 ✭✭✭Medusa22


    I'm with RayM on this one, as soon as I find out that I'm terminal or I get to be so old that it doesn't really matter any more, I am going to try absolutely everything.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,467 ✭✭✭Very Bored


    There's a great drug, makes you act all stupid if you take enough of it quickly. Plus, it has the added advantage that it tastes good, if you pick the right form. Now, what is it called...

    Oh yeah...

    Alcohol.

    Makes you feel a bit under the weather the next morning though.

    You'd think by now they'd have worked out a version that doesn't.

    Try other drugs all you want but I'm sticking with my weak ethanol, especially in Guinness format (and I drink a lot of it).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    Na, they shouldn't.

    I've tried most of them and they're all rubbish.

    Listen to the wise old man and save your dough.

    I am, place has too many of them. God only knows what goes through their minds to take them.

    The OP wasn't talking about smack though.

    What your doing would be similar to pointing at die hard alcoholics if someone asked if they should try a pint of Guinness.

    99% wont end up anything like that, they'll just have fun, have a bastard hangover, and go into work on Monday as normal.

    Weed, as in ALL weed? Have you tried every strain, or at least many and high quality ones (not some of the dirt weed we get in Ireland), in order to be able to make the claim it's overrated?

    Come over and smoke my back garden it's full of high quality weeds.

    Shakespeare said you should use drugs to see the things your eyes cant see


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,492 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Alcohol is the worst drug and it's the most legal go figure, I suppose whatever can make the most money


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,192 ✭✭✭chrissb8


    Yes most definitely. Do weed and wake up feeling fine and don't listen to any ejjits telling you it's pointless when they would drown themselves in alcohol and f**k themselves up for 2 days afterwards in the name of a good time. Weed= good conversation, a good laugh and music, eating (not too much now!), lots of laughter. No idea why anyone knocks weed. There are reasons people do it and harp on about it. So yah, get some and roll up!

    Everyone should try at least one psychedelic in their lifetime. Be it Acid, Mushrooms, DMT etc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,480 ✭✭✭Chancer3001


    Drugs wouldn't be so popular if they weren't so great


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,388 ✭✭✭✭Jayop


    Anyone who tells you they tried e and it was rubbish is a liar.

    Everyone should experience that at least once in their lives.

    “Wouldn't you like to see a positive LSD story on the news? To base your decision on information rather than scare tactics and superstition? Perhaps? Wouldn't that be interesting? Just for once?
    Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration – that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather.”

    Don't know really, Suppose for the majority of people who experimented with drugs/alcohol it can be a great feeling and for most it don't do any long term harm if used/taken now and then, but for a certain few it's a long road down to a hell of a life and a lot don't come back from it. The problem is no one can know if your the one who is going down that road or not ?
    So punk do you feel lucky today :-)

    Seeing how they are made and transported here definitely put me off of any "experimenting".

    Being the curious sort I've taken pretty much everything, some things quite a lot. I'm now drug free bar the occasional pint for the simple reason that age wise I've reached a tipping point where the pleasure derived from taking drugs in the first has been overpowered by the after effects - in short it's no longer worth it for me. But I can advise from my meticulous research over the past 2 decades that most people, bar the usual suspects with dodgy hearts or questionable mental health should at least once in their lives try the following in order of awesomeness

    1 MDMA
    2 Psilocybin (Magic Mushrooms)
    3 LSD
    4 Cocaine
    5 Mephedrone
    6 Ketamine

    Life is short - live a little before you die:D
    There is of course a (very small) risk it might go wrong and kill you but sure there's life for you. Those very same risks exist with everything from peanuts, playing sports, taking a plane journey, swimming etc. Everything you do is risky to a greater or lesser extent, simple as.

    There is another thread on here which says that druggies are people too and should not be blamed for needles being left around the place - on a bus for example - its all the guvinmint's fault. Personal responsibility includes not trying this stuff in the first place.

    Ohhhh I really don't know about that. You would want to be of sound mind and in a good headspace for that stuff.

    Colour me a liar then. I found it too harsh - for the want of a better word - for my tastes. Made me too edgy. Might have been dosages mind you. At the time I would have been of the type more is better.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,227 ✭✭✭Thinkingaboutit


    I read this thread as saying a person should try drugs made of household products at least once in their life. I cannot be the only one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 70 ✭✭beerpong


    Yes, why not? Nothing wrong with drugs at all. They should be legalised ☺
