Am I becoming a drug addict?

Well ive been smoking weed for about a year. It was a hard decision for me to make to try drugs, because my father died from a heroin overdose when i was young, and my mom was also a hard core drug addict. But i decided to give it a try, did a ton of research, decided the only drugs id ever take are weed,psychedelics,and ecstacy.

i have done lsd once, ecstacy 3 times, and now i stumbled onto my guardians drug stash.They sell them, not take them. but i have taked morphine twice now.once with my friend and once by myself. 10mg pills the first time 20mg the next. i dont know if that is alot but i was pretty high and i threw up the first time.

I also snorted a 5mg methadone (NASTY DO NOT TRY) i did it because i was already high on morph for the whole night and didnt want to be high all day.

i have been craving extacy alot lately, and weed isnt always enough anymore.

the only reason i did this was because i was bored and wanted to pass time. that sort of scares me.

Does it sound like i am starting to become a drug addict

Dude, it is possible, I mean, I wouldn't say addicted, yet. You gotta ask yourself if you are in control of your intake or not. Or if you are just going nuts, and doing what you can to gain posession of these things, I mean for me, morphine is deffinately dangerous and not something to play around with. And sniffing methadone?? Just take it easy, if you are getting scared then it probably means that you should step back for a bit.
Fear is usually a good sign that you are possibly out of control. I personally think weed is fine on a relatively regular basis, but ecky's and morphine is not.
In the end you are the only one that knows if you are in control not. Be stong, and don't give in to temptation. If you wanna have a smoke, all good. But if you find yourself looking towards the harder stuff, have a good think about it first.

Dunno if that helps, but just take it slow brotha!

Yeah im definatley not too harshly addicted to anything but i do get little thoughts of how i could be buying e instead of weed.
I think im gonna lay off everything but weed for a while. but im definatley doing LSD again XD.

I dont smoke cigarettes because they taste and feel disgusting, but i wish they didnt so i could have something to occupy my hands sometimes.

You're just addicted to getting high. If you don't get that under control you most likely will end up like your dad.
How do you think your mom wold feel if you over do it one time or get some shit that kills you?
If your craving ex already after only 3 times then your pills are probably heroin/meth based or some nasty shit.
Everytime you think about doing another drug just smoke till your stoned you will forget all about it.
Go out with some friends that don't do those drugs. Chill with your stoner buddy, he will smoke you out i bet

yea what the fuck your dad died from heroin and your eating morphine? fuck ecstasy and lsd and pain pills. i swear pain pills are the worst thing i know so many people who cant quit that bullshit cause they withdraw and it starts just like you. dont take pills. or ecstasy or lsd you dont want to be on those drugs all the time maybe once in awhile but they alter your mind a lot more than weed and you sound like you need a clear amind as possible

I don't think it's a question you need to ask us, you know yourself whether you are or are not. Normally i read these and see them as simply wanting conformation and assurance that you're NOT an addict etc.

There is nothing wrong with LSD. It's not addictive. Just don't try to do Heroic doses or you will make yourself retarded. LSD helps millions discover there true self. When used properly.

i wouldnt even want a huge dose of lsd. to me lsd should be a once every now and then thing to relax, chill with friends, and sort out thoughts, not some intense mindfuck that sends you to hell and back.

Even 1 dose of LSD can send you to your deepest darkest hell. Make sure you are okay with your life and don't have any skeletons in your closet. But if you can really keep that positive mind set that you are going to have the best time ever, you will.

Your guardians? How old are you?

yeah, i agree with what everyones saying.

you seem to have an addictive personality, and you seem to be beginning to fall victim to the gateway theory..

You have to get those other activities in your life going where it's not all about the drugs.

The same goes with weed, I have seen a lot of people get "addictive" in personality traits due to a lack of social scenes outside of being high.

Always remeber cannabis and all other psychedelics are meant to enhance a social scene and or a personal experience - Not to replace this one. Or at least that's my mantra.

Heroin and pain pills are the same thing as far as your brain is concerned, and you are pre-disposed genetically to addiction, I would stay away from morphine,Percocete, oxy anything, lori anything, red tar, opium, or anything opiate related for sure.

Meanbeans,

Nah mate, I would not say you were addicted, yet.

I agree with Johnney Herbz above, you are addicted to getting high.

Now, I think it is time for you to ask yourself some serious questions. Do you want to be addicted? I mean, it seems that you know the implication of heavy narcotic use. I think you may know what intensive drug use can do to people. If not, ask an older friend to take you to a rehab clinic. There, you will be able to see people who have lost everything, people who seem to be shells of something once sentient. Do you want this?

I mean to scare you.

You have got a lot to lose man, I am telling you, a lot. While psychoactives can be fun, they can be dangerous too. Everyone has different standards but personally I think there is a line between the pot smoker who occasionally does LSD and teenage kids parachuting Robaxin.

You mentioned doing this because you were bored. I think it is important to look at psychoactives as a kind of garnish to your existence. Your life will be short if centered around them. However, if added every now and then they can spice your day up a bit. Go outside, go hiking, if you are in a city, join the YMCA and go swimming. Watch yourself man, if you think your personality may be a little dangerous, set yourself some rules. Do not be afraid to seek help, because, you may not die, but you can lose your life.



there is a whole lot of adventure to be had by living.


take it easy man,

PS. reading this over, I think it sounds harsh. At the same time though, I want you to be carefull. By the time I sat my final examinations in high school I had done 15 out of the 17 drugs listed in our chemistry information booklets. I did drugs because I too was bored. Now, it's all good though.

rep to you, t0key

Having tried many different drugs over the last 20 years I can say that MJ is the only thing that has never made me sick, feel shitty or other problems.

MJ = I never get sick, I can't overdose, it's not physically addictive, it's fairly cheap, I feel fine after I get high, no hangovers, it's not made with toxic chemicals (Ex, meth..), etc, etc.

If you are asking us if you have a problem I'm willing to be that you DO have a problem.

Cut back on everything for a while (even mj...)

I can understand how you can feel the need to ask this, you know you have an addictive or potentially addictive personality "to getting high" as someone put it...give yourself a rest from it all - if you feel cravings for something then you ARE breaking any of the slight addiction you have to it...

I do smoke fags, which I've still not managed to crack yet - but other than them I'm only ever going to do weed...I know guys who've occaisionally done coke as a "party drug" or whatever, and probably would do again given the opportunity. All drugs are manufactured so unless you made it yourself you're never 100% CERTAIN whats in them - at least if you grow your own you know you've got something which is 100% natural with no unknown additions provided you flush ok...

Yeah dude it sounds like you have an addictive personality. Maybe that's from your genetics?

You gotta take control of your desires. Indulge in weed and smoke yourself silly, but don't go popping e like crazy or tripping balls as much as you can, because you can.

Man you gotta stay away from ecstasy and pain pills man.. If anything stay away from those, ecstasy consumed my life for a couple years and took me down to the point where i contemplated if life is even worth living.. Eventually you will burn out on E, but the problem is most people search for something to fill that void, generally its filled with coke or opiates.. When that happens you can say see ya later! I watched about 50% of my friends go through gnarly coke/opiates addictions.. Man i had to sit their through friends overdosing, robbing pharmacys, going to jail/rehab .. I mean shit that years previous i would have never imagined..

Be careful man.. You probably have an addictive personality..


If weed makes you want to try other drugs then stop smoking man.. I love weed but in my opinion its not for everyone..

Best of luck..

Both of my parents are addicts so I knew at a young age I had to watch out for this. I didn't even have to lose a parent to drugs, but I know what it can do to a person. You have first hand experience of what can happen...I agree with the others, if you're scared, it's time to put an end to it.

And even though I know that marijuana is not addictive I find myself smoking it like it is. I find myself thinking "Just one more hit" over and over again. We have addictive personalities handed to us by our parents. But that doesn't mean you have to give in to it. It makes me downright angry to even think of some substance controlling my life, influencing me to do things I don't want to do. Fuck that. I'm in control. And because of that, now I smoke when I want. When I'm high enough, I put the joint down...it'll always be there later. I have friends who think acid and lsd are the way to enlightenment, and perhaps they are for them, but when you have parents like yours why risk it? Is that one high important enough to put a non-entity, a chemical, a concoction in control of your life. Fuck no.

Please realize, we are stoners, druggies, the "losers" of society...and even we're telling you to be careful. Take it as a sign and take care of yourself first. I'll be hoping for the best for you.

Peace brother.
