I'm 21. I know more about "pharmaceuticals" than just about anybody anywhere near my age group. Heres what you find, LSD, MDMA, cannabis, shrooms, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines. These days I don't enjoy cannabis but i fucking love growing it, i enjoy cocaine and alcohol and some cigarettes.
Personally the first time i tried any "drug" in my life was weed when I was 19. My first year of experimenting with hallucinogens was when I was 20, that year I tripped about 45 times. Then my depression got hold of me while I had a heroin connection and that took me over next. Since then I stopped using almost everything except the occasional stimulate, alcohol, and some cigarettes.
However:
LSD: If anybody hands me a paper tab of anything and tells me LSD; I cannot believe them. So god damn often I was sold what I was told was "LSD" and it wasnt. I have nearly 0 trust in this particular chemical unless I knew and trusted the person that made it. To inexperienced trippers, there are like 150 chemicals that could be passed off as LSD, many of which are considerably easier to make. That being said i've had one of my worst life experiences on what I truly believe to have been strong LSD, and therefore I don't like it in general. I dont trust it and its sinister as satan.
MDMA:
I trust this even less than LSD. Too many powders can give people awesome nights. I've also taken way too much of what I truly believe was MDMA after using a lot of 5-HPT (5-hydroxytryptophan, I was zombied and had no choice in my decision making), I was beyond schizophrenic for 3 weeks. IMO i'd maybe take MDMA again if I made it myself. but even with a drug test kit I wouldn't trust the stuff.
Cannabis: Were growers here, we know good nug from bad. Bad is just usually shit weed but will eventually get you high, dank is pretty as can be. The stuff trips me out, but again I love growing it so it has a special place in my life hah.
Shrooms: I like shrooms, I grew a lot of em and the ones I grew are pretty much the only psychadelic i'm willing to take at this point; and i only ever eat them when i'm drunk and make a "drunk decision." I've yet to see any "Non shroom" drug be passed off as "shrooms" but i imagine it "could" happen. IMO your safest bet for a safe trip these days... If you grow em yourself, by far one of your safest bets.
Cocaine: The stuff is always cut, but, respectably for the "safety" of the user. Uncut cocaine would make a ton of coke overdoses. Coke is a substance i've never really abused, and always respected, and its hard to pass off other shit as coke; even though its always cut. You usually get at least some quantity of what you pay for it; and its not hard to remove most of its cuts. I like coke personally
but thats mainly cuz i don't like weed or most other drugs (any more, and thats cuz i used all the other drugs), and everybody has that feeling of wanting to be on everybody else's level. Sobriety is hard for some of us hah
Opiates: In my opinion, opiates are fantastic medicine
when you are in sever pain. But I strongly believe opiates should not be used recreationally. I've used Hydrocodone (90% medical, 10% recreation), Heroin (100% "recreational" I was depressed as shit a the time and seeking an escape), and oxycodone (very recently, once again 100% medical). I'm not sure what to say about these things other than no matter how physically or mentally shitty the day is; they make it way too easy to get through your day. Sometimes you genuinely need them; but if you are just using them to get high I feel like for nearly everybody it is an incredibly slippery slope. These days I feel most street opiates are either pharmaceutical grade, or heroin. Heroin is nasty shit. Pharm. Grade opiates can be useful when you are genuinely in severe pain but don't feel like you need to see a doctor. IMO everybody will be in the hospital enough times in their life to get opiate perscriptions; if you use them responsibly during your pain you will have enough to recreationally use responsibally. IMO the only responsible use of opiates as your pain leftovers; which I generally keep for future pain. (im 21 but i get a god damn lot of legit pain).
Amphetamines: Adderall (dextroamphetamine 75%/levoamphetamine 25%) or dexedrine (dextroamphetamine 100%) is good enough. Unless you are one of those very very very few people who genuinelly gets perscribed Methamphetamine (yes it happens). Street meth isnt worth it, other amphetamines are too easy to get your hands on; while they are addictive they arent as addictive and they also arent as cheap. I've never done Methamphetamine and I really don't plan on it, maybe somebody else can say something better about it than me.
I dunno. Just my 0.02. I was drunk enough to rank about my opinion on street drugs today. I've yet to meet somebody who knows more about them than I do (at my age at least) because I was very passionate about them for long enough to learn a ton about them. I was planning on going into medicine before I started hating the pharm. industry. Now i'm looking at renewable energy.
Sometimes you will find DMT or Mescaline or something interesting like that, but not as often.
