I frequently use weed. It's legal in Canada where I live. I'm a square and afraid to break the law. Plus, legal drugs are safer and less likely to be laced with shit you don't want.
I enjoy being high because it changes my way of thinking and makes everything seem funnier.
Endorphins. Just yesterday I did 1 km @ VO2 Max running repeats, and about 800m in I started feeling real good. Even my heart rate was slowing. I ended up overshooting the distance a little, and doing an extra interval; it felt so good.
Alcohol and, very occasionally, cocaine.
Weed for regular use. But mushrooms changed my life. Can't trip regularly though or I'm pretty sure I'd understand so much I couldn't even semi-function in the world anymore.
Mushrooms of magic.
Nontoxic, non-addictive, mind-broadening, easy to safely dose and for me and my fellow psilocybinauts, a very comforting, mother-earthy, wavy high.
I take them very rarely, as in less than once every couple of years, but they are my favorite altered experience by far.
You'll never see me say this, CSIS
At my age, ibuprofen.
Naproxen sodium
Diclofenac
Too hard on the heart. No thank you.
As said on that one Dr. Dre song, smoke weed every day. Well, vape because my lungs aren't great, but same difference.
Small world, Dr. Dre is also my Primary Care Physician!
Weed.
I have this spot on a low mountain that overlooks the valley I live in. A big boulder sits wedged into the mountainside with a lone scraggly pine giving it some shade. I just like to sit there sometimes, smoke and think. Relaxes me from all the stress I feel.
Mushrooms a few times a year are great. LSD is also beautiful but you really need to plan a full weekend for the experience (start early on Saturday and recover Sunday) to get the most out of it.
Alcohol. It’s easy to get and I know how I behave and what my limits are. Usually comes in a tasty package too
Thats fair. I always pick weed over booze because I consider all the calories in booze. But, then I smoke weed and eat 4 dinners anyway so its a wash.
Caffeine. It’s the only drug I take recreationally.
Alcohol is the obly "proper" recreational drug I've tried so tjat has to be it. I'd like to try some others but them veing illegal makes it hsrdr. Me being very drunk while typing this might have something to do with somethkng
I did LSD for a few months when I lived with a few friends, I loved that stuff.
LSA is pretty cool too and you can make it yourself without any risk of poisoning. Not sure about the rules so I won't explain how unless someone says it's cool lol
I assume it's allowed info because a basic web search gives lots of results, and there's even a subreddit dedicated to it

Don't want me to say "caffeine", huh?
Well then, sugar. I'm medically addicted to the stuff, and kicking the habit before my prediabetes turns to diabetes is showing itself to be a struggle.
Caffeine was the hardest addiction for me to kick, and we are wired for sugar addiction. Sugar triggers an insulin spike, which is the fat storing hormone. In the late summer and fall, when fruit ripens, our genes caused our ancestors to gorge on fruit and store fat for the long, hard winter ahead. Now that we live in abundance, with a surplus of calories available everywhere we turn, this storage of fat for the winter is unnecessary. Worse, food companies recognize that we are wired to want sugar, so they add sugar to virtually everything to make it more addictive. This is why I minimize the highly processed foods I consume and when I consider any food with a nutrition label I look and see if there are added sugars (which there almost always are.)
In my 40s. I partake in alcohol here and there.
A CBD/THC gummy is not only good for relaxation, but I’ve found that it helps with runny nose issues when I’m sick and stops the mucus drainage because it dries me up.
In general though, weed is great in an edible form. I don’t smoke it.
Gen X here...MDMA late 80s, early 90s when the quality was good, and the party's still underground.
The quality of MDMA has never been better! It went through a rough patch with tons of BZP/TFMPP being passed off as legit pressies in the late 00s, but after a new extraction method was discovered in the mid 2010s, your standard pill is like 200-350mg (80s and 90s pills were 80-100mg)
I came here to say MDMA too! I’m a Millennial but it was far my most favorite drug c. 2010.
Caffeine.
Edit: damn, I didn’t read the body before submitting. You got me OP, but I’m actually straight edge!
Weed, it helps me relax my muscles and get my brain out of fight or flight work mode
Definitely mushrooms.
The first time my friends and I tried them we took a LOT, and went walking through the woods by my house. It was a wild trip, and I'll never forget it.
I've only gotten my hands on them a few times since then, and never took as many, but even only taking 1-2g, everything just makes you feel happy and giggly like a kid who stayed up too late.
Cannabis for sure. I mostly do edibles, but every now and then, I light up, breathe deep, and relax.
Cuno likes that brain boost shit
If I could choose only one? Alcohol, it's great for relaxing and having fun, it comes in delicious flavours and is easy and convinent.
Fondest memories? Ecstasy - dancing to great music with in a crowd can be amazing, but for me sober, or even just with booze, it's hard to bother with. But with some mdma I've had some truly amazing peak experiences. Although, I've found the aowish dose of psychocybin has a pretty similar effect without all the comedown nonsense.
But tbh, they're all pretty fun in the right time and place.
I like the old classic eight ball of coke with a pair of hookers to share it with.
Wholesome, traditional. Just casually rolling like the guy Dick Jones had killed in RoboCop.
2C-B and 2C-I are great psychedelics. I’ve always had the time of my life.
Good ol mushrooms are all i really do anymore though
Definitely LSD, but I haven’t gotten in a really long time
Weed, usually at least some at the end of every day to unwind, don't do it while working or for social situations (anymore) get too anxious lol
