    Regularly meaning once a week or more.

    I take caffeine and nicotine (vaping) daily, alcohol a few times a week, as well as the combustion products of one particular plant.

    I'm addicted to caffeine and nicotine. Luckily I don't need to take any prescribed medications currently.

    What drugs do you take regularly AH?

    Caffeine, nicotine, alcohol?

    Is this one of those things where we're all drug addicts and we're all on "the spectrummmmm" of drug addiction?

    Way to bump up the numbers kinda thing?

    Caffeine - daily.
    Alcohol - a few times a week, been slowing down recently
    Nicotine - a few times a week.
    Marijuana - once a month or so, down from almost daily.

    I've done coke too but that's long in the past now.

    I think it's more of a "Oh wow I smoke pot, everybody look how cool I am" type thread.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Other than the drug of life, alcohol, and caffeine.

    Esomeprazole. Two days without it, and I am suffering.

    :(

    Let me guess OP, you were expecting a lot more edgy responses.

    Believe it or not I was actually more interested in what percentage of people drink caffeine daily since I recently realised I'm addicted to it, and also what percentage of people rely on prescription meds of some sort.

    I wouldn't expect anyone to think smoking pot in and of itself is 'cool', although you could probably do with some.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,173 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    My body is at least 30% caffeine at this stage. I probably have the caffeine version of wet brain.

    Alcohol of course. For what is life without the odd tipple.

    I'm a 30 year old man with a professional job. 'Pot' isn't for me.

    But to answer your question, I drink alcohol and coffee occasionally.

    No prescription medicine.

    That statement says far more about you then any pot smoker I know..

    Not one of them indulges because they think it's cool.

    Any more than you would have a drink because you think it's cool..

    It's not the 70's anymore.. Do catch up.. ;)

    What have your age and job got to do with it? Also, what is a professional job?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭chrissb8


    Weed everyday. Alcohol once or twice a week.

    Are you high right now?

    I didn't say people who smoke think they're cool, I said this thread is to show people how cool they think they are by typing they smoke pot on a boards thread.

    Poor quality glue does that. If you really applied yourself you could make a good glue.

    Thyroxine for my misbehaving thyroid. Nowt else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,443 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    Caffeine. The most important meal of the day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,208 ✭✭✭Lady is a tramp


    People are always shocked I've never taken any real drugs. Not even hash! (I'm a recovering alcoholic, so in my experience, people have had preconceptions.)

    I tried to take up smoking regular cigarettes loads of times, I can't though. Tried again earlier this year, nothing doing.

    I've been on (legal) benzos lots of times, they do nothing for me. So I can't even get dependent on them.

    I don't drink (anymore!)

    The only caffeine I drink is at AA meetings.

    I'm actually the worst addict ever. :(

    I've no problems with people smoking pot, some of my friends smoke, they don't think they're cool or post about it on boards, they just smoke it and not make any deal about it.

    I do however think people that smoke it everyday are addicted and I would strongly discourage anybody I know smoking it so regularly as there are many medical articles linking the drug to serious brain damage, schizophrenia etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,856 ✭✭✭BalcombeSt4


    Valium & Zopiclone daily.
    Coke the odd time.
