how'd you start / get hooked?

[KanyeEast]

just wondering how everyone's first experiences was, like why and how'd you get your first hit of drugs or alcohol

did everyone instantly get addicted? :eek:

[Neverender]

It's physically impossible to instantly get addicted. Addiction occurs when your brain decides it requires that chemical for Homeostasis. It takes hundreds of cigarettes to get Physically addicted to the point you have withdrawal symptoms. Of course, it is wise to prevent getting to that point, as Malcolm X once wrote "Quitting Heroin cold turkey in jail was relatively easy when compared to quitting smoking"

Before that point, it's a Psychological addiction, like people claim for video games and the internet.

Drugs like Cannabis show zero potential of Physical addiction (There's nothing in it to get addicted to)

Stimulants can be quite addictive, Physical Withdrawl from Opiates can kill you and Psychedelics like Mushrooms or LSD show aduse potential lower than cannabis

Anyways I'll display my first time in glorious yellowtext

I smoke weed almost everyday, and i'm not addicted.

My first time was with some friends after school. One of 'em was like, "who wants to smoke?" and we were all like "yo".
So we went into the woods next to some river (where everyone smokes before school) and smoked 2 bowls. I was surprised at first because i didn't feel anything, but once i stood up and started walking around.. fuck.
We went to the mall and got an ass load of cinnamon sticks and just sat outside eating them. It was wicked peaceful, i loved it.

I've been on a lot of drugs, and some are more addicting than others.
I started them because I had nothing else better to do and, I was a prick. But, look where it got me.

At first I was with a group of kids when I was younger, I think in 6th grade and they said lets smoke weed and then that's how I got into smoking. I got into percs and things like that through hanging out with kids that sold them, so most of the time I could just get them easily or free from them. And why I decided to take them, I have no clue, because I felt like it helped me at the time, and lack of other things to do, but like the person above me said look where that got me.

ahh. back when I was 15, I went to my first real "party" My friends thought I wouldn't do anything. they were wrong. I grabbed a cup, walked to the keg, and got a beer. A girl from my school was surprised, she's like "you drink?" I had a few beers, took a couple shots. At the end of the night, I went to the backyard and smoked from a pipe. although I didn't get high until my 5th time (months later)

I'm certainly not addicted at all. but I will say that ever since that day, I've been exposed to alcohol and weed a lot more. I smoked weekly or once every 2 weeks for a few months, then constantly for a week. at the end of that week, I decided to stop.. not seeing any reason to do it

I drink alcohol every once in a while as a social thing, you know? Certainly would never be an alcoholic, I'm not really that into it.

If this includes cigarettes, I managed to get hooked when I realized I didn't feel normal without a deck of smokes on me.. It's quite fucked actually... Been five years, and I've tried to quit once when I told mum to grab me some nicotine gum, only lasted a month, can't get off the bloody things at the moment... To much every-day stress. D:
