Learn to Take Drugs

So you'd like to try all those 'evil' things that D.A.R.E. warned you about. Well, boys and girls, the first step is a wonderful drug called alcohol.

Notice

With the exception of alcohol, which is strictly regulated, the possession or consumption of any of these substances is illegal in most countries, with penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment (the U.S. is a leader in drug incarceration) to death (many "2nd" and "3rd world" countries have a sentence of death for trafficking).

With all drugs, it is vitally important to know your source, and your self. Many instances of medical emergencies related to drugs are because the drug taken was not pure, or was cut with harmful substances. Likewise, dosage is entirely dependent on each individual. A dose constituting an "overdose" for one person, may be a perfectly reasonable dose for another. Always start with small doses, and over time build up to more serious doses as you are able to handle it mentally and psychologically.

Trust your source, but don't listen to rumors that dealers "lace" weed with other drugs...this is virtually never the case. A prudent drug dealer is not going to use $20 of acid to lace your $10 bag of pot. If any drug is truly laced, especially Marijuana, expect to pay extra for it. It simply does not make sense for a dealer to "sneak" and give you an expensive drug on top of a cheap one.

Alcohol

It is easy to obtain, tasty to drink and won't have the police knocking down your door with large drug sniffing dogs

In Europe the age limit for obtaining alcohol is much lower. In some countries it is 18, in some lower or even non-existent. In Canada, it is 18 in Québec, Alberta and Manitoba, and 19 in every other province [1]. Some Islamic countries such as those in northern Africa or the Middle-East ban alcohol altogether. For a more complete list of drinking ages click here.

Consumption of alcohol is also a painless process; just drink the damn stuff. Beer can be chugged, bonged, sipped, or consumed in many other ways; hard liquor is usually consumed in shots if you are male, or in "chick drinks" if you are female. Going easy the first time is advisable, as with any drug, until you learn your own tolerances and preferences. Overdose can lead to death, so always try and have a sober friend around to watch out for you, and to turn you over should you pass out (remember, that's how Hendrix died).

Effects of alcohol

Lowered inhibitions (good and bad), impaired motor skills, and in general, getting really fucked up at higher levels; anyone should be able to describe alcohol, so I'm going to stop here.

Overindulging in alcohol may cause some people who have a tendency to do so, to get addicted to it. Prolonged heavy use will also damage the liver, causing any number of side effects, most notably death.

For men, a damaged liver can cause a surge in estrogen as the liver breaks down excess female hormone produced by the body, this in turn causes many negative side effects, most notably impotence and the beer-gut.

The Hangover

So you decided to try alcohol and now you feel like shit. You have a hangover. The hangover is caused by a few factors.

The first factor is dehydration caused by the way alcohol makes your body get rid of excess fluids. All those trips to the toilet last night are really hurting you now. That throbbing head ache is also caused by dehydration, as the brain dries it shrinks and hurts. Ouch. The best way to combat this is to keep hydrated during the night before. Eat salty food and drink plenty of other fluids.

The rest of your really crappy feeling is caused by the breaking down of the alcohol in your blood stream. Your poor liver is working hard to get rid of if, but when ethyl alcohol breaks down into methy alcohol, it really becomes a poison. So you need to add ethyl alcohol to the mix. Drink one beer or some other mild easy to drink alcoholic drink. See, you feel better already. Now, add sugars, especially fructose. Drink lots of orange juice or other fruit drinks, this will help your liver chop up that alcohol much faster.

Eat something salty and greasy to ease your pain and take it easy. Next time stick to one type of alcohol, don't drink a lot of spirits or mix different types of drinks.

Marijuana

Reefer madness

"Quality" is not only about strength (though this is a part of the equation). Every strain of marijuana plant has a different balance of psychoactive chemicals - "better" generally means a more pleasant high, in addition to being more potent. If you score some really good bud, you probably won't need more than two or three hits (inhalations) to get to where you want to go. The good stuff smells very distinctive - more like fine herbs for cooking than like the dodgy street drug your parents warned you about. You may notice very fine colored tendrils - purple, orange, or white - among the greenery.

Marijuana is used primarily in one of two ways: eating or smoking. Smoking is preferred, as it gets you high faster with less weed, but it has nasty chemicals to inhale.

There is also a device called a vaporizer that heats the drug that can then be inhaled as a mist. Vaporizors work by heating the plant to a temperature high enough for the THC to leave the plant, but not high enough for the plant material to burn. This way, you are not inhaling the carcinogens involved with burning plant matter. Using a vaporizer gives a different high than smoking it normally. The drawbacks of vaporizers are that they are more expensive than a pipe, and they take time to heat up, during which time people might get impatient and just light up a bowl.

Eating takes more weed and you get less high, but it lasts longer (this may be good or bad depending on your purposes) and is probably healthier. Cook marijuana into whatever you are making by heating it with something that contains fat (butter, for example) and stirring; then strain out any leftover marijuana. Use the butter for whatever you'd like.

To smoke marijuana, one needs a pipe, hitter, bong, or anything else one can use to smoke it (I have heard of people using an apple and a pencil cleverly). Simply light, inhale, hold in the lungs for as long as you can stand, exhale, repeat, enjoy. Beginners often exhale too fast, or keep the smoke in the mouth without actually inhaling it. Depending on the quality of what you are smoking, as little as 1-2 hits can get you stoned as hell, while with schwag it might require an entire joint.

The most common side effects of getting stoned are: dry mouth (also known as cottonmouth), unusually large appetite (the munchies), red or bloodshot eyes, a heightened appreciation of music and the world around you, and a distorted sense of time (15 minutes can feel like hours). It is a pleasant experience overall, however paranoia is not uncommon, especially amongst new smokers.

"Paranoia" is a loose term used to describe any number of uniquely unpleasant sensations felt by smokers of all experience levels at some point. Marijuana puts you into a uniquely sensitive psychological state that you simply can't get any other way. The advantages are well known (aesthetic pleasures take on new significance, interpersonal bonding is facilitated, and so forth), but under the wrong conditions, it can work against you. Paranoia can be as vague as "I feel kind of strange", or as specific as "that guy across the street is sending me a special message that only I can understand", but it usually tends towards the former. Smoking with people you know and feel safe with is the best way to minimize unpleasant paranoia attacks. For some, it helps to stay in a familiar environment with dim lighting and comforting music. As a last resort, if things get really out of control and you feel like you've gotten too high, go to sleep.

Health risks are much less than other illegal drugs. Marijuana, contrary to popular belief does not destroy your lungs. Lung problems are fairly uncommon amongst even heavy lifetime smokers (Chong). Marijuana also contains THC. THC is a "bronchial dilator" unlike nicotine, which makes your lungs bunch up, THC acts as a cough drop and in fact opens them up. Heavy and/or chronic smokers will experience mental impairment (the dreaded short-term memory loss), but no long term effects. Driving while stoned is a bad idea, though it tends to make drivers much more cautious, it also slows down reaction time, so it's probably better not too; riding a bike is fun, but also a poor idea. Pot stays inactive in your system much longer than drugs like alcohol; however, there are no withdrawal effects as there is no physical addiction to the plant. There is no such thing as a "marijuana hangover" - instead, you will wake the next day feeling well rested and refreshed.

Often after a long day of getting high you can end up "burnt out" or tired.

Mushrooms

Shroomin'

Generally costing about $30 / eighth, they are more expensive than both marijuana and alcohol, on a per trip basis, as the general dose is half an eighth for a first timer, or a full eighth or more for someone with experience. (Some mushrooms only require you to eat one gram, which is 1 / 28th of an ounce) However, the cost is worth it. Seems to be seasonal.

There are numerous different types of magic mushrooms with different levels of psilocybin or psilocin causing the effects. Some may require preparation such as drying before being platable.

One generally eats mushrooms... how one does it, however, can vary quite a bit. Some people eat them plain, right out of the bag, which is fine, but they taste like ass. Others prefer to dip them in peanut butter, or chocolate, still others prefer to brew them in tea. Check around for different preparation recipes. Drinking anything with citric acid (orange juice, lemons, etc) will make the trip take effect faster. If you want a trip with more hallucinations eat more of the caps. If you want more of a body calm and euphoria eat more stems. Note that exposure to very high temperatures will destroy the active ingredients in shrooms (psiolcyn, psiolcybin), so smoking mushrooms will NOT yield any effect beyond placebo.

It is important to note that you or a friend may feel nausea, but you will be fine. Just drink some water. As long as your supplier is somene you can trust, shrooms are one of the safest drugs known to man. Tightness or "anxious" feelings in the stomach are common, and will subside as the trip takes over.

Crystal Methamphetamines

Usually called "Meth" "Ice" "Dope", "Tina", "Tweek", "Shards", or "Crystal.". It is highly addictive and although not physically addictive like alcohol, opiates, or cocaine it is much harder to be free from relapse in the recovery process. Ninety-five percent of all people who attempt to get clean end up relapsing. Truth is only cigarettes are more addictive than Meth when smoked as the method of intoxication. If one were to choose to engage in recreational meth use they should go into armed with as much knowledge as possible about the benefits, pitfalls, potential undesired reactions, legality and of course the potency and average duration of the drug. One should also be aware of the condition of the fellow tweekers who are also experiencing a mutual or similar high. u nder the influence, people are talkative, energetic, unpredictable.

Meth is a crystalline substance that looks like shards of ice or glass and costs approximately the same as cocaine. The most common method of ingestion is by smoking it from a glass tube with a bubble at one end. The most common type of tube used is an oil burner used in chemistry(although some people like to make their own). The drug is placed in the bubble end of the tube and heated with a lighter or small torch until it melts, then it is inhaled in the same way as marijuana or crack. It is also commonly crushed and insufflated (snorted). Injection is not as common, but results in the best buzz (injection is very dangerous!).

Good things about meth: Strong buzz, lots of energy, focus better, stay awake all night, have sex longer.

Bad things about meth: Highly addictive, distorts personality, causes loss of moral judgement, physically dangerous in the short and long term. Tolerance builds quickly to the point where the addict doesn't get much buzz, but feels the need for the drug anyway.

Meth Mouth: A condition called "meth mouth" occurs in long-term users of crystal meth. This causes rotting of teeth, because meth decreases saliva in the mouth, which is important for mouth health. These conditions appear in long-term users of meth, and can also occur in users of other amphetamines (MDMA, Adderall, etc.). Meth mouth is not a concern for sporadic or non-regular meth users.

Heroin

Heroin is one of the strongest, most pleasurable and most addictive drugs available. This isn't a simple recreational drug to liven up a boring party. This shit will fuck you up. Don't expect to use heroin once or twice just to check it out. Once you've tried it a few times your addicted for life, you may stop using it but you will always want more.

Heroin addiction can also take over other aspects of your life as well. Few addicts can hold a job, or maintain personal relationships with anyone who is not also an addict. So with all these risks why would anyone want to use heroin? Because it's awesome thats why. No other experience in life can compare to the absolute pleasure you will feel from taking heroin. People will wake up sicker than the worst hangover, covered in their own vomit stinking of pure filth and there first thought will be how to get some more of that wonderful drug.

So if your life sucks and you want something that is guaranteed to make it better, for at least short periods of time, heroin is the drug for you. You do run the risk of becoming homeless and destitute searching the streets for blowing any guy who has $5 to help support your habit, but it is so wonderful you might just think it's worth it.

Heroin withdrawl is accompanied by nausea, cold sweats, hot sweats, clammy skin, restlessness, your bones ache, and you will feel depressed and willing to do anything, and i do mean anything, to get rid of the sickness. You can get rid of your symptoms by either taking more heroin, or you can use another opiate as a substitute. Oxycontin, Lortab, percocet, dilaudid, roxiset, percodan, and any other narcotic pain killer will do the trick. I would recommend oxycontin as your best substitute if heroin isnt available, actually, some people actually prefer oxycontin to heroin because you know exactly what youre getting, as far as miligram, as with heroin you never know how much has been cut or how pure it is.

Now.. onto using and abusing this drug. Some people snort it. not rocket science here, roll up a dollar or use a piece of a straw and snort a line of heroin. Some people also smoke heroin, also called "chasing the dragon" by which they put heroin on foil and light the foil and inhale the smoke. I consider both of these forms a waste of the drug. If you want to get the full effect of heroin, then you will want to inject it. Now there are two ways to inject it. You can "pop" it, by which you shoot the heroin into the skin subcutaneously. Ive never done this so I couldnt tell you how it feels, but i would assume that it feels the way it does when you blow your shot on accident. The next way is "intravenously"... the best and only way to do heroin. Ill now give you step by step instructions on how to load your syringe and inject your shot. Step 1. open your bag of dope and dump it in a spoon. make sure you know how pure it is, sometimes a tester shot is required. you dont want to Overdose do you? Step 2. Take a 1cc insulin syringe and fill it half way with water. Flip the syringe upside down and flick it to get all the bubbles out, then push the plunger up til its ready to shoot. Make sure this syringe is new or cleaned thoroughly with bleach. You dont want aids do you ? Step 3. Fill your spoon with the water from the syringe. Be careful not to blow any air onto your drugs or it will blow them out of the spoon. You dont want to waste your smack do you? Step 4. Pick your spoon up with one hand. With the other hand light a lighter and hold the flame to the underside of the spoon until the brown powder mixes with the water. If it starts to bubble or boil then youve cooked it thoroughly. Step 5. Tear a small piece of cotton off of a q-tip, very small, place it in the spoon. Step 6. Push all the air out of your syringe. Step 7. Stick the tip of your syringe in the cotton, and pull back on the plunger, you'll see the liquid start to flud the syringe. Once youve gotten all the liquid out of the spoon and the cotton has been sucked dry, flip the syringe over and flick it and get the air bubbles to the top and push them out. Be careful not to shoot your drugs out while getting rid of the air bubbles, you dont want to waste your shot do you? Also, the myth of shooting an air bubble killing you is a just that, a myth, ive shot many air bubbles and it doesnt do anything at all, absolutely nothing. Now youre ready! Step 8. Now you need to tie off your arm and find a suitable vein. A belt works best, pull the end of the belt through the buckle and stick your arm through up to your bicep of whatever arm your going to shoot in. Step 9. Pull the belt very tight and hold the end with your teeth. Step 10. Pump your fist and curl your arm as if your doing a curl with weights Step 11. You should see a few suitable veins raise off the skin. Hold your fist tight and your vein should stay hard. Step 12. Stick the syringe into the vein, do it at an angle and make sure not to push through the other side of the vein. Now that youre into the vein, pull back on the plunger just a tad, if youve hit the vein you should see blood flood the syringe. Step 13. Release the belt. Fire! Push the syringe full of hard addictive narcotics into your vein and wait a few seconds.... Step 14. Find out for yourself

Crack

Crack cocaine is simply a different form of cocaine. Crack is cocaine that has been "coocked" and mixed with other substances to form small white granules about 2-5 millimiters in size called "rocks". These granules bring a faster, more intense high than usual cocaine however it is more short-lived.

Crack cocaine is a far cheaper substitute to powder cocaine, and it often appealing to those who lack finance as opposed to the glamorous, celebrity image surround its powder form. Many people have been known to suck dick for crack because it is so addictive....So if you're willing to put a dick in your mouth for a 15 minute high, then be my guest. But the dicks will be scummy and so will the crack

How to smoke crack

Smoking crack is easy. Some people use professionally made crack pipes made from glass. But most people who smoke it are poor fellows and recommend using a pipe made from a soda can, as it can easily be disposed of. Get a regular empty soda can. Make a dent in the can about one third away from the base. Make a very small hole at the bottom of the dent. Place some cigarrette ash around the hole. Now place the rock on the hole and heat it with your lighter and suck profusely at the vapors through the top hole of the can.

As you can now see, crack is not all it is cracked up to be (haha). It is cocaine that just hits you a bit stronger and is unhealthier to your lungs. Crack is, however, just like cocaine very addictive. It is not as incapacitating as heroin and can be used occasionally while living a somewhat normal life. One must remember though, that crack is very expensive, withdrawal hits quickly, pushing you to get high again.

I would not recommend getting addicted to any drug as it causes problems with supply and damand of your funds (biatch!).

LSD

LSD is a hallucogenic drug. Much has been written about this drug and its various effects upon the human mind. I suppose a strong word of caution should be voiced before continuing: LSD is a truly powerful mind altering drug and requires one to explore both the rational and irrational extremes of the complete human condition, and is definetly not for those who are simply looking for a good time. Experiences are entirely dependent on the person and their relationship which their mind and surroundings.

LSD almost always comes in small cardboard clippings called tabs, or blotter. Tabs often have curious cartoon characters printed upon them. Sometimes LSD can be bought contained within sugar cubes or as a clear liquid.

How to take LSD

LSD is generall taken orally, whether on papers, candy bits, or fresh liquid. It should be noted that it is also very quick to absorb into skin, so one should not handle any papers, candies, or other vessels excessively. Perhaps an hour later, you will notice a change in your surroundings. Objects will begin to flex and generaly look weird. Some prefer to go out and have a good time, go to clubs and such. You should, however, keep in mind that your ability to drive and function normally will be impaired. Watch out when crossing streets.

The effect will last for hours, be prepared for about 12 hours of effects. You may not be able to go to work, for instance.

During your trip, be creative and try to paint or write down as much as possible. It will be interesting (sort of) later on. Other things to do are to go outside to some remote area (and safe...going to the edge of a cliff is not recommended), walk through the city, go to the beach and watch a sunrise, watch movies, play music, etc. Music is very powerful on LSD, and listening to it can result in synaesthesia, where you literally see sounds as colors and shapes. Recommended tripping music is late 60s/early 70s "psychedelic" rock like early Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Grateful Dead, Hawkwind, etc.; modern psychedelic music such as psy/goa trance (many online radios play this music, such as Philosomatika or DI.fm); or whatever music you like (many people also enjoy heavy metal while tripping).

Each trip will be different and new things can be discovered. However, you must realize that LSD is not like most "traditional" drugs that cause you to have good feelings. LSD can also bring you down and cause you to have a bad trip. If this happens, try to relax and don't panic, and put on some relaxing music or do something to distract your thoughts. It is only a trip and it will pass--try to change your environment, and have friends comfort you. It's all about state of mind--if you are depressed, it is the worst possible time to take a hallucinogenic drug. Unlike other drugs like alcohol, heroin, cocaine and the like, hallucinogenic drugs, and especially LSD, do not bring you out of your saddened state--they amplify it. It is highly recommended to have a "trip sitter", who will not partake in the drug, to watch you while you trip to make sure you don't do anything stupid and to comfort you if you need it. Do not be afraid of LSD; this can increase chances of a bad trip. The drug can result in some of the most beautiful experiences of your life, if you approach it with the right mindset.

LSD is recommended only to those who are of sound mind and who have a philosophical urge to discover something new. Those with sound minds, and who understand all the ramifications of taking the drug, and its potential side effects, with full consent, can experiment. Any with symptoms of schizophrenia, depression, or any other mental disease should steer clear, as a bad trip on LSD can emotionally and mentally scar one for life--only the resilient and pshould step into this world.

Hawaiian Baby Woodrose

WARNING Before you take H.B. Woodrose, you must remove the fuzzy stuff on the outside of the seed, or else you will get a nice dose of some nasty toxins, and your stomach (along with the rest of your body) will hate you for it.

Taking H.B. Woodrose

These little babies are another hallucinogen, with an effect similar to morning-glory seeds. The plant makes beautiful flowers, and best of all, its legal. They contain LSA, an analog of LSD which in high dosages has similar effects.

Take 3 to 10 seeds (go with 3, 4 for the first trip), and you may feel some nausea, which is normal. Inducing vomiting will not have any effect on the psychoactive properties. Within an hour you should feel the effects start to kick in. You can either take all the seeds at once for a stronger trip, or space them out, and take 1 every 20 or 30 minutes for more mild effects.

Overall, the trip lasts for 4 to 6 hours, at least, mine did. A feeling of calm, and contentment comes over you. You feel perfectly at ease, and like everything is how it is supposed to be in the world. You can get a little giddy, and it can midly affect your vision. These things are very mellow compared to shrooms or acid, so if you need/want that level of intensity and excitement, look elsewhere.

One time I did these was in the middle of the summer on a perfect day, and took a walk with a few friends (who also took the seeds) talking and walking with ease, which was a great way to spend an afternoon. Factor in the price (250 for $25 online), and you have a pleasant, if not terribly exciting, drug.

I did these one time at a party, 10, and they provided me with lsd and xtc type effects!

However there are known cases where H.B. has caused people to shit blood use caution when using a drug that could possibly cause you to shit blood

Ecstasy

Ecstasy (XTC, X, E, or "thizz" in the Bay Area) is a newer drug that gained popularity in the '80's. It comes in pill form and its effects last for several hours. The effects include extreme empathy, happiness, excitement, etc. The drug works by causing the brain to release (amoung other things) serotonin, which is the chemical responsible for happiness. The downside is that it releases almost all of it, so your brain will need time to recover.

Taking Ecstasy

The hardest part of taking ecstasy is finding it. Remember, it is an illegal drug. Night clubs are a good place to look. Once the hard part is done, it is time to prepare. Make sure that you have nothing to do the next day. Since your brain will literally be empty of the chemical that makes you happy/motivated, it may be hard to get things accomplished. Also, you will probalby not be hungry in the morning. The next thing is to find a good spot to do it. You will want to be in a fun place. "Fun" means somewhere with friends, music, and a chance to meet new people. Raves are designed for this purpose.

You will also need to prepare yourself. Be in a good, excited, positive mood. Drink some water. Eating before is OK, but not recommended (X sometimes causes nausea as it takes effect, and who wants to dillute the a $20 pill?). Having something like a pacifier to chew on is a good idea (because otherwise you might end up chewing on your tongue/cheeks). Vick's vapor rub and menthol cigs will help heighten the experience.

Taking the drug is easy. 2 ingredients: pill and water. You should know what do to. There are alternate methods of taking a tab. First, parachuting, which involves crushing the tab, placing the powder in a small square of toilet paper, wrapping it up, and popping the whole thing in your mouth, and washing it down with water. Parachuting a tab will cause it to take effect somewhat quicker. Secondly, snorting, just crush it up; stick a section of a straw, dollar bill, or something similar up your nose; and snort up a line. Snorting a tab causes it to hit you hard and fast but the duration will be somewhat shorter. Thirdly, there is always plugging it or taking it rectally. Taking ecstasy this way is supposedly the best way to get the most out of a tab, but you have to put it in your rectum, is it really worth it? Also, try mixing drugs to add to the excitement. Acid goes well with X (this is called "candy-flipping"), as does mushrooms ("hippie-flipping"). Marijuana goes well with everything.

While on the drug, don't do anything you wouldn't normally do. This sounds vague, but trust me. Don't leave with people you don't know. Don't take unnecessary cary risk. Don't forget to drink water. Don't lay on a very loud speaker just because it feels good. And watch which end of the cigarette you light.

Do have fun. Talk with people. You will find it much easier to have conversations. Make out with someone. Dance. Drink water.

Remember, most of what you hear about ecstacy is a lie. Many researchers consider exctasy one of the safest recreational drugs, much more so than alchohol or tobacco. While deaths can result from useage the chances are slim and are usually due to combining ectasy with other drugs, or are due to the user being unprepeared for the exertion associated with it. For example people with severe asthma or heart conditions should be very cautious, while pregnant women should probably avoid it altogether. In any case users should be cautious not to exert themselves too much as some people have danced until they die of dehydration/heat exhaustion. There have also been cases of drinking too much water. Many deaths attributed to ecstacy can actually be caused by other substances. Sometimes dealers will give cheaper, more dangerous drugs to people in order to save money, so users may want to invest in testing kits to make sure that what they are taking is safe. In any case, there are only relatively few deaths each year, usually less than 100 but it in not certain how many of these are a direct result of the drug. Lastly the long term effect of this drug are not known and while once in a while usage may be ok habitual heavy usage may cause serious wear and tear on the brain. Some users who have used many times a week for years have been reported as having their synapsis so deteriorated that MRI scans show their brains to look decades older than they should. unfortunatly there has not been enough research done on the subject to prove the association. Like any drug moderation is always encouraged, So play it safe.

Calea Zacatechichi

Hardly a recreational drug, but completely legal, Calea Zacatechichi lets you induce a lucid dream, a dream where you realize that you are dreaming and get to explore your subconscious. Brew it into a tea and drink it before bedtime.
