What Drugs have you done and why?

28. Alcohol & Caffeine just about every day. Aspirin is always around.

I've never been much of a pot fan- first tried it in 1975, and will take a social hit now and then, but it doesn't do much for me. (Interestingly, I was part of a drug trial during cancer treatment 30 years ago for a synthetic form of pot; it made me feel strange, and hear bells, but didn't really make me feel good; it may or may not have been effective as an anti-nausea drug for chemotherapy, not sure about that). Although they make you feel real good for a short time, I really haven't had any cocaine or other uppers since the late 1980s. They just make you feel too thrashed afterwards. Tranquilizers make you feel good, but are dangerous to mix with alcohol, and their effect is short lived. I haven't had hash in about 30 years, but I remember it as always being a nice pleasant high. Mushrooms could vary from mediocre to great; a nice hallucinogen. By far, the most wonderful class of drugs, for me, are various opiates. I've had Morphine, Codeine, Oxycontin, Dilaudid, Percocet, Darvocet, Vicodin, and others. I love 'em all. If I had not been fated to be both broke and cheap most of my life, I would have become an addict. However, I am both broke and cheap; so I only get to indulge in these things when fate makes them available, which is not very often. So, a nice Martini before dinner, and a couple of glasses of wine with, are pretty much it for me.
