Mephedrone ≠ Meth...
I have never tried Tobacco (always hated the smell of it passively and when it's stale on people or in cars) or Cannabis. Never tried pills, never tried shrooms, cocaine or huffing solvents. In fact, I don't think I've drank alcohol in 4 months or so. I had co-codamol after knee surgery and it didn't have much effect, but when I had to have a root canal, I started using the co-codamol during the time I had to wait to see my dentist (really irresponsible!) but now, if I have a headache, I'll drink a pint of water quickly, pour out some more and sip it and then I'll start feeling better.
I guess I have an addiction to prescription glasses though.
(and on a serious note, Technology...)
I guess I never hang out with the wrong/cool crowd because I was hella shy. Then I figured out that I've a pretty addictive personality and have issues with food (too much bad stuff) which I try to fight against. Basically, if I spend two weeks with my fiancée, I feel really happy and at ease with no need to snack or eat the wrong stuff and end up dropping easily 14lbs.
Anyway enough of my life story!

Although the deaths from it were due to the kids mixing it (knowingly or not) with other drugs.
Prohibiting it will only increase these incidents because real drug dealers will start getting it and cutting it with all sorts of crap to get a bigger profit.

Haven't smoked anything. I would never smoke cigarettes. I just don't see any good about it. But recently I have been thinking about smoking weed. I have a friend that used to and I have been thinking of asking him if he still is but don't want him to get back into it because of me. But I suppose if I am ever offered I'll try it.
I had to wikipedia that. I don't think mephedrone is as popular here in the states. Although I have recently heard of meow meow, I've never discussed it with anyone who has first hand experience, despite the crowd I roll with.
Smoked a fair amount (several times a week) in middle school. A few times in high school. Haven't done any since. I also don't drink. I will, however, be voting to legalize it in California this November.
Weed is great. I'm getting baked tonight and I'm excited. Gonna listen to some good tunes which hanging out with some chill people and probably eat too. Weed is awesome.
weed
i used to smoke weed when i was 18 ... occasionally or even will do. but even is most likely. I am just curious on what's the taste, and what's the effect of it. but now, i do not include that on my dictionary. but when i was young, that is on the top of my list. i love smoking either weed or cigarette. as long as it smokes and releases tension and stress, that will help me out.

I used to do weed all the time.
Now I have quit harder drugs and I am on 1 spliff a week.
And I am hoping to lower that to once a month or so...
I may even quit smoking at this rate
Wow... I've come a long way from then...
I am not totally clean from drugs, pretty much quit smoking and I am very soon to be a dad...
Life is so much better without the drugs.
Were you so stoned it took you over 5 months to type that post?
Were you so stoned you didn't notice that he only join(t)ed this month?

You have to try them to know how bad they are
IMO occasional drug use ain't that bad, it's not that different from alcohol. I smoke weed couple of times a year and only if a friend offers me some, I won't spend any money on it. I used to smoke more when I was younger because then it was "cool" but luckily I never got addicted.
BTW, congrats man! It's not the easiest job to be a father at your age
Have to give some respect for you. I couldn't do it.
I don't drink, never have, I've seen what alcohol, but I actively use cannabis as a treatment for insomnia. It works quite well. On that note, I've never seen a person be violent under the effects of cannabis, just for the record...
I have a huge problem with most of the non-smoking community though, as everybody that has ever smoked pot knows its not in any way in the same league as heroine etc. but it seems none of my non-smoking friends can get that. The only thing prohibition has done is profited the black market and made teens and other smokers jump through dangerous hoops just to use a relatively harmless substance.
I mean, nobody is going to argue that breathing combusted plant matter is bad for you, but from what I've read from several sources (for and against legalization) its no worse than alcohol is for your body.
Its much less of an issue than I think most people want to make it out to be.

So as a child I went to a hippy camp, became a CIT (Counselor In Training), and now I'm on staff. 2 years ago I tried pot. Loved it. Smoked it everyday that summer...then this past summer again, smoked it every day, but during the year, I barely smoke it. I might smoke this week, but that's a big if.
But I approve of it, and see nothing wrong with it. Philadelphia just recently decriminalized weed....maybe PA did...but the reason they did it is because they want to clear up the courthouses that take cases of teenagers getting arrested for smoking a J on a street corner, doing nothing wrong, keeping to themselves, and not causing commotion.
I hope one day, they legalize it everywhere. It's just a plant.

If only. It is also a measure of control, IMO.
And the government would really appreaciate it if you would partake of legal sins that are taxed, such as smoking, drinking, State-sponsored gambling. That sort of thing.
And certainly not something you can grow in your own back yard!!!!
I wish I'd smoked it in a bong, not a joint the first time so I wouldn't have smoked cigarette's till I was 25.
Tobacco addiction is the only downside I see in it, I've got no more interest in being stoned regularly than I have in finishing off a whole bottle of tequila in 1 sitting but smoking a little weed in summertime and going through maybe, 1 bottle of tequila a year is fine though. Not much of a big drinker, not much of a big smoker either but if I do indulge, it's always in a pipe or bong because I can't handle joints any more, all I do is spit or cough all the time because I can't stand the taste of tobacco after 8 years without smoking.
It never lead to experimenting with any other drugs either or give me any health or mental issues.
