These weren't trials lol, they were the results collected from statistics from various agencies - NHS, local police forces, social services etc.

And drugs are not hard to find if you know the right people.

eheh i know they weren't trials....i was making a funny ;)

and yeah the thing is i don't want to have to sneak around to do something i think should be legal in the first place... i just find it very fusterating when u can do more harmful drugs legally.....and even pharmaceuticals can sell pot in a pill form (Marinol)

I have an alcohol problem.
Started drinking at 14.
I have had a drug problem, but I'm not too bad anymore.
I smoke.

I'd also advise anyone with obsessive tendencies to avoid alcohol, drugs and cigarettes like the plague.

I started drinking and smoking cigarettes relatively late as compared to my peers... They all started around 13 or 14 (well... the "social misfit" kids... of which I was a part.) I started smoking cigarettes when I was 17 and tired of spending all my lunch hours reading by myself in the lobby at school. Going outside to bum a smoke was an excellent way to talk to people.

It's pretty much the same story with alcohol / weed, except now I find I'm not much of a weed fan - yes, it is kinda relaxing in a way, but it also causes anxiety in me sometimes and just generally makes you slow and dull.

I've tried LSD and mushrooms, they're actually pretty interesting but not worth the slowness and dullness you experience for the 1 or 2 days following the "trip"...

And lastly, someone (who was supposed to be a "friend" fed me ecstasy once while I was drinking. I blacked out, and when I regained consciousness, I was making out with my "friend" in a bathroom stall at some party!! ! (I all but ran away screaming at this point) :x Didn't like that experience - haven't tried THAT again.

Have you found drinking helps you to relax more socially?
Because whilst I do (I'm very hypersensitive to being touched, sometimes even by friends and family, but when drunk it isn't so bad) a friend of mine with AS hates it because drunk people are unpredictable.

I have to say that both observations to me are accurate; I do relax when drinking - I have the same type of sensory issues with touching poeple or things and being touched, and I find I'm much more able to handle it when i'm drinking.

However, if I'm the sober one and others are drinking, that makes me feel very afraid and panicky - I could never quite put my finger on a reason why; but yes, drunk people are much too unpredictable. And they try to touch you too much. And they smell bad. And they're way too emotional.

For me any type of weed really makes me nervous, anxious.. I used to be able to do weed and just relax, be happy and take it easy... I had my first panic attack while doing certain drugs therefore now, I can't even touch the stuff... Sometimes I think about it and want to give it another try... But it's always the what if's that scare me... :roll:

At this point I wouldn't recommend it. You being anxious about the anxiety will likely only serve to increase the anxiety anyway.

OMG!! 8O Totally!! I've gone to try it a few times and before I even take anything my heart beats really fast, I get the sweats.... It's really pretty crazy and anoying really... I wish I could just enjoy myself and not have to worry about these things.. Drinking though can be fun :) If you don't go overboard I guess hehe.. I tend to do that sometimes.. We had our staff party and me and my bosses stayed up til like 5am just drinking away, feeling no pain.. But it was good times had by all lol...

It is caused by an excessive dopamine - epinephrine conversion. Street drugs generally cause this disorder.

Weed either makes me incredibly relaxed or very anxious and uncomfortable... it just depends. When it goes well I'm as happy as I could ever be, not that I do it often.

I'm never in a situation where I am sober and others are drinking, so I guess I can't really talk about that side of it.

I don't know what the laws are like in Canada, but in the US that is a FELONY! The JERK(aka "friend") could have landed in jail! And if he wasn't a minor it would have been WORSE, and worse still if you WERE. I hope he got what he deserved! And "friends" like that are the worst kind of enemies.
