how old were you?
Sure, stuff from back in the day. I've tried just about everything except heroin. None of this new stuff like crack or ecstasy. Now a days I'm pretty much on the straight and narrow. Grain alcohol - Vodka and tonic.

I definitely went past the experimental stage. I was 13 or 14 years old and used periodically through college. Not enough to mess up my grades, but enough to have fun.

I first tried smoking cannabis when I was 15. Since then I've used it intermittently.

Actually, I dabbled
a tiny bit here and there, but I honestly didn't like any of it. I've
smoked pot a
couple times and all it did was make me feel sick. I tried a couple other
things and discovered I really just liked my beer and my crown royal.
Give me those on occassion and I'm a happy camper.

A couple of tokes to prove I wasn't a narc a few years ago. I just never understood how people could pay a hundred bucks an ounce for weed when the best beers in the world are only $10 a 4 pack.

Not yet, and at this point, I doubt I do.

Experiment in what sense? Oh, it doesn't matter--the answer is still probably no.

Yep. Between 17 and 19 I tried just about every drug I've heard of. From marijuana to cocaine, ghb to extacy; 1,4 Butanediol was the most significantly life altering drug I used regulary. Now I'm 20 and i don't do that shit anymore. Unless you've got a joint going around...

not unless you count drinking whilst underage - in which case I started drinking when I was 16, legal drinking age here being 18.... well - you're allowed to drink beer frmo the age of 5, and spirits and wine from 14, but only in private. And your parents can buy you a glass of wine to go with your meal if you're 16. But you can't buy it yourself, or drink it in public until you're 18. Naughty me!

I tried marijuana
a couple of times when I was about 13 or 14. I wasn't crazy about the
smell of it and I felt too paranoid about getting caught. Now those little
white pills my dentist gave me before oral surgery were a different story
entirely. I guess they can't be considered illegal since I got
them by RX, but I'm sure they're available on the street too. Those puppies
would be quite fine to have on hand in the event of a trauma. You could
have convinced me the sky was falling and I would probably have smiled
and said "gosh, what a shame."

Are you a narc? I have smoked marijuana and found it to be more appealing that getting drunk - no hangover. However, this was many years ago. I do not relish the idea of losing my home or property or losing my freedom, so I will stick with the occasional beer and just reminisce about the weed of my youth.

I've tried marijuana during my college years. It basically just put me to sleep.

I tried pot once when I was 22 or 23--didn't think much of it.

I tried pot a couple of times, but I didn't like how it made me feel. I especially hated the burning sensation in my lungs. It just wasn't worth it.

Um, yes. I mean...no. And never occasionally while I was between the ages of 14 and...23 (almost 24). I swear I only inhaled...I mean I didn't inhale! Doh!

Yes.
I've got a stuffed Bear in the Big Blue house on top of my monitor, and
a good luck cat stature in front of the computer. I've also got a wind-up
Yoshi (from the Nintendo games) on top of my CPU. All of my photo frames
are on my bookshelf across the room, but I do have a photo of a
group of my friends inserted into my mousepad (it's meant to hold photos
and papers and such).
