Ok so I was shown a copy of the drug prevalence survey carried out by the NACD today. Made for interesting reading but the figures didn't seem to coincide with what I have seen in my every day life in this country. So I thought I'd conduct my own survey via a poll seeing as there is a good mix of different types of people on here, and compare it to the NACD survey.(I will post the NACD results after enough people have awnsered this poll so as not to influence the results. I would also like to request that other people refrain from posting them too soon.Thank you.) Anomynous Poll of course. Please awnser honestly. You can select more than one option from the poll. I will post one poll here asking about your use of drugs at any time in your life and will link to another asking about your use within the last year (may 05-May06). Thank you for your co-operation. Slipss.
Link to Part Two of Survey http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054934126, please awnser both parts. Thanks again. Slipss.

If your awnser to Part one is that you have tried none of the above please state so, obviously if you do so it will not be anomynous. Or click on this link to the None of the Above poll option, which is anomynous.http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054934153

I just thought it would be an interesting poll, there has been far more pointless polls on here, and it clearly has a fair bit of interest to other people on here to as it has only been up for 30 mins and has had 35 people awnser it.

Harmless enough. It would be naive to think noone had an interest in drugs

Interesting imo. Can the two polls be merged so we can see all the results at a glance?

waaaaahhhh. why are beer and caffiene and nicotene and paracetemol and water not included?

poll results skewed slightly because i only took ecstacy once and that was because my drink was spiked. i did include that i had taken it though. just thought i would point out for the record that it was taken unwillingly.

i'm surprised at the low numbers on the solvent part of it. butane, thinners and petrol were regularly taken by me and most of my friends when we were teenagers and couldn't afford beer. probably due to kids having more disposable income these days. (god, i sound old).

tell that to people doing coke. i'll be going over to a friends house in about an hour.
there will only be two others there and they have €400 worth of coke between them. i can guarantee it will all be taken tonight. the same goes for anyone doing coke.

Hash and mushies.

All long in the past now, and both were sort of one-offs.

Is this not distorted as there is no option to take no drugs?
