(4,795 posts)I've never had a major "problem" with anything other than caffeine, though family history with alcohol. Alcohol makes me feel like hell so I stopped cold turkey two years ago.
I take pot regularly (2-4 times a week) for pain and relaxation. The shrooms I take every 6 months to clear my head, get insight, relieve stress, induce creativity, etc. Psilocybin is a great "reset" and tool to examine who you really are and what the world really is (lets you examine things without your ego and preconceived notions in the way).
I've also dabbled in some one time use of a handful of psychoactives like E, but never incorporated them because I didn't find they gave real longstanding value for mental and intellectual development personally (though I understand therapeutically many of the substances Ive tried have promises).
The only problem drug I know of friends and family having issues with is alcohol, in terms of both its destructive effects and addictive properties
