Well, I was wondering. Does anyone here do drugs? I hear so much about them in IRL but rarely hear anything on ANY avatar site....
I myself have ONCE, but that was a few years ago and because my ex boyfriend had a bad influence on me. Since then, I've never taken DRUGS.
Also, what do you consider ODing? (over dosing, basically). Do you consider that someone only OD's if they die. Or do you think that it means you take more than you should have? And has anyone OD'd? My friend says I did once, because I got depressed and was stupid(we all make a stupid mistake sometime, but you learn from them) Now, I was having "seizures" and my body was constantly tense, so I guess so?
However, I NEVER plan on doing it again. I mean i was extremely depressed and was NOT suicidal, I just wanted to sleep(they were anti-anxiety pill prescribed to me that made you drowsy) because I didn't want to deal with the mental pain I was having. But, you've gotta learn somehow right?
Basically Discuss:
The influence of Drugs
If you've ever done drugs or have OD'd or know someone who does
Your opinion on the whole subject
Your opinion on OD'ing.

I don't see the point in taking any kind of drugs. I don't even take anything for headaches or anything like that so I wouldn't take anything that's heavier. I personally just don't like the idea of chemicals being in my body.
I do however have friends that have done drugs or that still do. I don't support it,but I'm also not going to disown them because of it. I do get pissed off about it since I had a friend that ODed and died from taking too many different kinds of drugs at once.

I actually think taking drugs to 'test' how they make you feel is stupid.
Not to be offensive to anyone who's done this, or is taking drugs on a frequent basis, but don't you think there are better things to be spending your money and time on?
Some kids in my class take drugs, even after all of the warnings and stuff we're given in class. They tell us all the side-affects (lots of them!) but they still go ahead and use the drugs.
Stupidity at it's best, no?
Just my opinion I guess.

No, I don't do drugs, and I never plan to. Hell, I don't even let them give me laughing gas at the dentist's when I get my teeth pulled.
I hate when my brain is foggy/slow/goofy. Why would I want to INDUCE that? I like being 100% here as much as possible.
And, uh, I've never OD'd or anything. o_o If I wanted to kill myself, I'd want it to be quick. Not writhing on the floor, vomiting and seizing all over the place.
Besides, lots of intentional OD's don't even work because the drug isn't strong enough to kill the person. So the person goes through A LOT of pain and then doesn't even get what they "wanted." They usually get help then, though. Which is good.
I do take like, painkillers and stuff for headaches, though (in response to the topic mystic kiwi brought u[). I don't if it's not a very bad pain, but I get VERY bad headaches/neck aches sometimes, and the pain sometimes gets so bad that it makes me cry, so I really need the painkiller then.

Kind of a touchy subject for me.. I constantly have a foggy mind. Drugs don't help.
I haven't been taking anything for a while thankfully :\ but I still don't feel any better yet

I rarelly take meds for anything as well, except for bad headaches or...girl stuff occasionally when it gets really bad.
I believe the influence of my ex a few years ago was a very bad one, as it did make me expirement once. However, I would never change it, as then I would never of learned the effects or understand the reason as to why most people take them.
And I would never take drugs or OD to die...that's retarded. I've always rather wanted a painless death, unless there was a way I could be in the hospital for my family to see me, then I wouldn't mind as long as I got to say goodbye to them. It's also why I've never seen the meaning of cutting yourself to die, it's slower than ODing.
And it wasn't really testing to see how they felt. The first time on actual drugs (which I've NEVER paid for, ever. I'd never waste money on stuff that could kill me.) was my ex begging me to take them. The other times were on prescriptions that I didn't pay for either. And I wasn't testing to see the effect. I almost knew the effect, or wanted it rather. Just wanted to fall asleep, not sit there and be fidgety and frightened to point of crying because I felt like something was going to come and get me.
But I do know where all of you are coming from. I thought the same before hand, but have a more sympathy than I used to. I actually tend not to overreact or judge so harshly like I used on subjects like such. Unless it's rape....or murder. Then I have no sympathy for the person who did it.

I've never taken drugs and never will. I do hear tons about it on a few avatar sites, though. Not really the point, though. I influence people, but in a good way, telling them what drugs do to you and yadda yadda. I see no point in doing them, but that's just my point of view, ya know? If people wanna use them, go ahead.

I've never done drugs.
If only for medicine.
In my opinion, an overdose is when you have too much than you should have. It doesn't mean you die... but it could harm you :<

I had a time in my life when I was doing drugs. Now that I think back on it am I thankful to god that I didn't die or land in jail for it. People try or tack drugs for many different reasons. I did it to kill the pain of what was really happening at the time. The only good thing that came out of it was that I found out how I really was and how were my real friends. ODing is to me when you have to much or to many drugs in your system. I have OD one time from medication and a street drug not mixing well. It almost cost me my life. I would have to say I would love to go back in time and not start that road again....but then I wouldn't be the person I am today if I did. NO I am not saying doing drugs is good or cool! Don't Do Them!

I am a cigarette smoker, but that's all. I don't plan on doing anything else. Actually, marijuana wouldn't be too bad, so I might try that. My friends that do drugs don't do any hardcore drugs, they're just peacefull like pot smokers.

I was a cigarette smoker but I quit recently, I've done drugs aswell.
I've managed to quit everything harmful, except for coffee xDDDD
But that's not too harmful u_____u
I have insomnia so I have to take sleeping pills and vitamins occasionally.
Painkillers? I take way too many for my smallest problems, so I should quit that aswell.

I've never done drugs..
but one of my close friends started hanging out with a group of people who did a lot of drugs. at first i didn't mind, but soon she started to change a lot. she'd hang out with them more often, and we'd see each other less and would barely talk and carry a full conversation like we use to /= I was worried about her, but I was too scared to tell her. I'm glad she didn't drag me into them, otherwise, if I did drugs as heavily as she did, my 'rents would go so crazy! Dx ...But I think now, she doesn't do them as much 'cause she looks a little healthier than when she use to.

I never did drugs.
I don't even smoke but I'm very curious about trying a joint. xD Just for fun,
not to add something to my life or something.
In the past I had a realy bad enlightenment (if I use the right word) in the past about
drugs, people (like parrents, family, teachers) telling us that you get addicted right away
and that it is so bad for your health, your brain will die. So I was always very anti.
Now I know people who tried everything in the past so if I want to know something, they'll
tell me about it. Ofcourse they don't recommend me to try it and I rather not try it, but I'm just
curious about trying a joint.
I don't realy have an opinion about overdosing.

I have done two forms of drugs:
Weed [which I dislike]
And DMX [short for Dextromethorphan] which is found as the active ingredient in cold medicines. Which taken in large amounts gives you a high. I would take a whole 4 oz bottle of Robotussin in one setting, and within an hour, I would be high. And when I first took it, I felt like I was going to die or something, because I couldn't focus on anything and my whole body felt numb. I couldn't remember much of anything and my emotions were all out of whack.
Funny story came out of this though:
I was about to take the dog for a walk, after shortly getting high, and put my hand on the door, ready to open it. When I just dropped everything and ran into the bathroom and puked.
I enjoyed the feeling of feeling numb, and it seemed like time always changed. Like it would fly by WAY too fast, or go by EXTREMELY slow. It felt like I was listening to a song that lasted about a good hour.
And then once I took DMX in a different form: Coricidin pills. Also known at Crazy 8's. And of course, I took, not 8, 9 pills in one setting. Not realizing how strong they were. And this was about twice as strong as the usual high I would get from 'Tussin. So I was flipping out on the inside and just sitting there, staring off into space, feeling numb. I would walk around and it felt like I was walking inhumanly fast. Next time, I couldn't even remember what I was thinking about five seconds before. And before I knew it, I threw up violently and hauled over. And that's when i think I OD'ed for the first time. And no, I don't believe OD'ing has to be death, just an extreme outcome of taking too much of one thing.
And it was very very very very scary.

I've never felt the need to take drugs, neither indeed has it ever occured to me to do so...
However, plenty of my old friends have took them at some point and most wouldnt do it again..
I know someone who OD' because they felt trapped, but they regretted it after coming round (thank god.)
That said and done, each to their own to be honest.

I've never done drugs, before but I have
OD'd on Children's Tylenol when I was 6.
I ate 56 of them. I thought they were candy.
Since then, I have never taken Tylenol.
Or anything Cherry, except Lollipops, and the
maraschino cherries.

Over-dosing is when you take more then what you're meant to take. It's not argument, it's fact. If you're only supposed to take 2 Tylenol every four hours and you take 5, you are STILL over-dosing even if it doesn't do anything to you.
As for me, no, I don't do drugs. Not even the legal ones.
When I was little, though, I climbed up on the cabinet and drank an entire thing of cold medicine. My mom flipped and called poison control, but nothing happened to me except for gettin' a bit sleepy.
When I broke my leg, though, I got sent to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. They gave we a button and said, "Whenever you feel pain, press this button." So everytime I felt the slightest pain, I pressed the button ten times. I distinctly remember counting... "Okay, here goes. 1, 2, 3, 4...."
As it turns out, the button injected me with MORPHINE. I think there was a safety lock if I pressed too many times, but I STILL got seriously fucked up. There was a picture taken of me when I was there, and I looked like :insane: , my hair all fucked up and everything. XDDD

Yes, I have done drugs. I find it a normal part of growing up to be subject to trying them. I myself enjoy the relaxation the drugs can give. I love going out and having fun, with or without a drug. Though with my current occupation. I drink when I go out.
Overdose is taking in more than your body can handle. You do not have to die from an overdose. Your body more or less wants to shut down when you OD. A very similar thing to OD (it is ODing but the fucking world doesnt think so), is alcohol poisoning. You consume to much alcohol your body tries to get rid of it by vomiting. Same goes with overdosing on something. Your body tries to get rid of it. However if you are doing certain drugs your body just shuts down and has no way to get rid of it. Making a drug overdose very dangerous.

no. :/ i don't feel like letting chemicals control my mind.
and also.. i have a huge sensitivity to smells. and whether it be cigarettes or pot, the smell makes me cough+sneeze like crazy and my eyes water. o___o; even perfume does it. >__<; and then i find it hard to breath.. so. i probably wouldn't do any drugs.. as i'm not that healthy myself and would probably die if i did anything anyway. :: cough ::
i don't like people who do drugs, and i hate people who like to argue with me about drugs being good for you.. the illegal kind. but hey it's their choice. o__o i just wish they'd look around and see all the people that are sick begging to live and see that they're actually playing with their lives each time they do drugs and that those sick people would do anything for their life. >__>; or something like that!

I have never done drugs. I probably never will. I do take medication, but I actually just stopped a little bit ago since my parents can't afford to pay for them. I'm actually doing okay without them. I sleep more by accident, but..that could also be because I also quit drinking caffeine.
I have overdosed before, it felt really weird..I don't think that's considered doing drugs because I just took four of each pills I was taking at the time. so that would be 12 pills in total... but I got really sleepy and my head was like buzzing. This was two years ago, so I really really don't think I'll do it again.

Hmm...I like the responses.
On the whole weed/pot subject, I hate it. Ugh. no offense, but the smell if horrific. One of my ex's smoked pot and so did his buddies. He was mannerly enough not to pressure me and make the guys stop when they tried pressuring. I was aruond it all the time and never had to need to try it.
And I've never taken drugs to 'enjoy life'. I find that senseless as well, more so than what I did. not to mention it's a waste of money to do it constantly.
I have had addictions after ODing though. I think a friend of mine called it "de-toxing." it was why I was having 'tremurs' and such. My body was wanting more of the drug? it was basically a whole day event. And after that I had urges.
more body than mind urges. My body wanted more, but I hated it. I never wanted that expirience again, as I didn't want it in the first place. I won't lie, it was VERY hard to ignore the urges and have the will power and strength to not pick that bottle up and take more and more every day. I am thankful that I now understand what it's like for smokers and drug addicts, alcohol addicts and even sex addicts to quit. People, like my bf, say it's so easy, just quit.
but it is soooo hard. I was just lucky my willpower was strong enough to deny what my body pleaded. But I've never regretted the expirience. A life well spent, you know? I think it is going that way. Have to learn somehow, but never overdo it.
