IMO drugs are a waste of money. Some people spend a shitload of money on something that lets them escape from reality for only a few hours when they're late on bills that could've been paid had they not bought it at all.

And I wouldn't use them even if I got it for free. I like my lungs a healthy shade of pink and my sanity confirmed, thank you.

You get addicted to it because there's still the drug in your body, but not enough. After it's of out your system, you're not addicted to it anymore. Of course you can be addicted to it even then, but then it's the same kinda addiction when you're addicted to anything really (candy, chocolate, limonade, apples, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam Spam, Spam, baked beans, Spam, Spam, Spam and Spam, or Lobster thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and Spam).

Heroin and cocaine are out of your system in 4 days. Cannabis from 3 days to few months, depending on to amount of use.

There can be after effects though. If you've drank alcohol for a long time straight (so that you haven't been without alcohol for long) you can go in to a cramp and lose consciousness, but only after the alcohol is out of your system (dry drunk). Well, I'm not sure how this works with other drugs, but with alcohol it's like that.

Quote from Personbot

You don't get high the first time you smoke it. I don't know why but no matter how much you smoke it doesn't affect you the first time around. So I don't see anyone getting hooked just by trying it once.

I couldn't give you the exact clinical reason, but as I learned way back in the day, the reason you don't get high the first time you smoke is because the receptors in your brain that the THC molecules attach to are already "filled" by default. Basically, the THC has to knock out the existing stuff so as to "fit" properly. (best I can do atm)

As for the topic, I personally have tried many different "recreational" substances over the years. My opinion from my own and others experiences is that the deciding factor is always the person doing the substance in question. No drug is truly "instantly" addictive. Some are just much more likely to become habit forming, and some create actual physical dependencies.
As an example, marijuana is not physically addicting. Nicotine however, is.
My generic advice to people curious about drugs, is just to stay away from the "hard" stuff: cocaine, heroin, any form of methamphetamine,etc.
For just plain fun, I recommend mushrooms. 😀

Untrue, plenty of people get high the first time they smoke weed, its all about inhaling properly, and its not easy for a first timer to do it right. Also you tend not to be able to pick up on your own high the first time you try it, but other people will probably be able to tell if they know what to look for.

My only advice about drugs though it to stay away from the addictive stuff and anything that has a close ratio between the amount needed to feel the effects and the amount you need to overdose.

Some misinfo being spread here. You can get high from taking weed once. You can NOT get rid of a heroin/cocaine addiction by just getting it out of your system, supposedly in 4 days. Rehab would be much easier if this was the case.

If you can't tell what drug your friend means, or even if he means the harder drugs or just something like weed, tell him not to do it. If he does get addicted to whatever, you don't want it on your conscience. I have friends who've dropped e, took acid,tried cocaine, regularly consume shrooms and they can handle it. I have friends who couldn't and their lives are now fucked up.

I guess I'm an anti addict.

I've smoked for a couple of months, in the start it felt pretty good, relieved the stress and so on, but then it became bothersome. The side effects, like getting out of breath fast, and so on started kicking in. So I simply quit it. I still smoke here and there, but not that much, perhaps 2 - 3 cigarettes per month, and a couple of cigars.

Weed felt also pretty good, but I felt that I was kinda loosing controle, so I decided not to smoke anymore. Quitting was easy because I never was really into it.

I have never tried "harder" drugs, and never will, though I have a buddy that took some stuff. Don't exactly know what.. I think crack or heroine, or something like that. The way he changed was incredible, the nice guy was stealing, cheating.. doing anything to get his next shot..

Well, I'm not addicted to drugs, but to mangs... Thats my drug 😀

Personally I will not put any sort of drug into my body. This includes medicines (unless my life was at risk...). This is all personal principal for myself. That said I think drugs, including all hard drugs, should be decriminalized.

Honestly if its just weed he should go ahead and do it, its safe and enjoyable enough that there is no reason somebody shouldnt try it if they want to, almost everyone is going to get drunk at some point in their life and that is a lot more harmful than smoking cannabis.

Drugs are bad... mmmkay.

Marijuana is less addictive than caffeine (though its a lot more enjoyable) so dont worry about it.

Many people don't get easily addicted to cigarettes. If you smoke for a few years few cigarettes a day, I'm pretty sure you'll get addicted.
