Inspired by the white bag thread, it just got me curious. I’m not a journo! Although, I suppose that’s what a journalist would say.. Grin

Have you / do you take drugs? What did you take and why did you?

I’ll be honest and go first, I occassinally use MDMA and I do use coke on nights. But I don’t have kids and I’d stop as soon as I was having them

No

HandyBendySandy · 25/01/2021 18:46

Cannabis and amphetamines as a teenager (about 100 years ago). Didn't really understand what it was all about to be honest.

Food is my drug of choice now, unfortunately.

Sparklingbrook · 25/01/2021 18:46

No

Prisonbreak · 25/01/2021 18:47

None! Never have never would.

glitterelf · 25/01/2021 18:47

No apart from my when my drink was spiked.

bumpdownthestairs · 25/01/2021 18:47

Honestly, I have never ever tried any drug and I'm in my early 30's. Never even smoked weed. Never appealed to me as I hate the feeling of not being in control (never drink much either). Dont I sound like a barrel of laughs! 😂

garlictwist · 25/01/2021 18:48

I took MDMA in my twenties a few times. Not going to lie I had an amazing time and some incredible nights.

LaMarschallin · 25/01/2021 18:48

No.

Might have done if I'd had the opportunity but wouldn't bother now.

NotImpossible · 25/01/2021 18:48

Nope. Never have.

garlictwist · 25/01/2021 18:48

However I am tee-total, have never drunk and hate the feeling!

VienneseWhirligig · 25/01/2021 18:48

Accidentally smoked half a joint once (was completely blotto and mistook it for a roll up). I was so ill for the next two days that even the smell now makes me queasy. Nothing else, too chicken.

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 25/01/2021 18:48

No. Never.

Paracetamol, Ibuprofen and aspirin excluded.

Why not? Never felt the need, to be honest.

HOkieCOkie · 25/01/2021 18:49

No never interested me, also I live in London and I see the evidence of what drugs to to ppl lying passed out homeless on the streets. So I wouldn’t touch that shit with a barge pole.

fallfallfall · 25/01/2021 18:49

Not since the 1970’s. Waste of money and time.

Ffsnosexallowed · 25/01/2021 18:50

Hash when at Uni and one line of something. Not in past 26 years, apart from alcohol and nicotine

namechangenumber204 · 25/01/2021 18:50

No never, not even smoked so much as a spliff. I smoked (about 100 altogether) about 45 years ago and have never been drunk. I sound dead boring but have had a heck of a life Grin

Pencil8888 · 25/01/2021 18:51

Nope, never, and I've never smoked a single cigarette either.

ErrolTheDragon · 25/01/2021 18:51

No, never.
I've never sought them out, or been offered any, not even a cigarette.

Ohalrightthen · 25/01/2021 18:53

No illegal drugs, and I've never smoked a cigarette, but i used prescription painkillers to self-medicate for depression at uni. Never felt high though, just calm.

GrallaceandWomit · 25/01/2021 18:53

No and I judge people that still use over the age of 25 and/or have children.

nancybotwinbloom · 25/01/2021 18:54

Not since I was a teen. Then it was ecstasy.

I have the odd few pulls of a vape these days. About once a month when I am on my period. Guarantees I sleep even with period pains.

CallistoSol · 25/01/2021 18:55

Drug users tend to be selfish twats tbh, and particularly cocaine users, who are essentially condoning the slavery of women and children by buying it.

MalorieSnooty · 25/01/2021 18:55

I have undiagnosed autism and was a HORRIFICALLY anxious and depressed child (masked the entire time, I was a complete wreck).

At uni, I was persuaded by an ex to try MDMA on a night out and, honestly, it was like someone had switched a light on.

I only did it a few times but it changed me. I don't get anxious anymore and am very happy go lucky.

Lougle · 25/01/2021 18:56

Nope, never. Also teetotal. Which may explain why I lost all muscle tone, body control and sensation when I had gas and air in childbirth Confused

Plonque · 25/01/2021 18:56

I had one drag on a spliff at about 16 yrs old. Didn't like it and never took anything ever again. Quite proud of that.
My kids popping pills is probably my worst nightmare!
