Title: How Would you Catagorise Yourself as a Drug User - A Poll
Post by: SNSD on January 28, 2013, 09:07 pm
Hello SR,

I thought it would be an interesting idea to see how we all rank ourselves as users and the results between us. I wanted to keep drug specifics out as this isn't about what you take - but how SR has impacted your use.

I know for me personally, I have been thinking about this quite a bit recently, and have found myself moving up a category or two since finding the road. Definitely broadened my availability which is something i have taken advantage of, experimenting with new drugs that were unavailable to me before. If the Silk Road had not existed, I probably would have tried these new things IF they became available - the main difference is the regular available supply, which in turn has moved me up a spot.

I realize the categories are a little vague, as say a 'Daily User' could be quite different from someone using weed to someone using a hard substance daily, so I tried to separate them a little while keeping it simple.

This is not a thread to brag about your personal use or disrespect others for how they use. Keep it clean and encourage discussion based on if and how your drug use has changed since finding the Silk Road.

So, by your criteria, am I to understand that methamphetamine and amphetamine users would be classified as "hard users?"  Despite your attempt to leave specific chemicals out of this?  And that frequent use of same would be "frequent hard users?"

I have but one question: what's up with the discrimination, you bigot?!  There's no category for me.  What do you have against us poor, functioning, daily hard users, HUH?   :P

To be serious though, I'm quite curious about those 2 "don't take drugs" votes.  Just people fucking around, or is there actually more than one random guy who uses this forum and doesn't do drugs...?

I'd say my user status fluctuates depending on where I am "in life," y'know? I'm certainly a daily or almost-daily cannabis user, and I enjoy a good roll or trip here and there, maybe once monthly at most frequent. I don't fucks with anything you snort or shoot (bad nasal passages already, and just not into any stuff you shoot), but I'll try anything once if I *know* it won't kill me.

an interesting phenomenon to be sure, but I knew a dude back in my uni days who sold coke and H, and never touched either substance. I'd imagine there've got to be one or two dealers out there who abstain from everything to keep their heads clear when it's business time. but hey, what do I know? :P

Well SS, I can answer that question since one of those two is me.

3+ years clean from a dope habit.
So far so good, although I think most drug counselors would probably equate my SR usage to hanging around my old dope spots just for the conversation :)
The temptation is stressful sometimes.

Maybe I'll meet some of you fellas at a meeting some day :)

Enjoy your meetings and quit pushing that crap on us. Prison would be better than an AA/Na/Ca/Whateverthefuckmeeting.
Promise me you will kill me if you ever see me there.

He wasn't pushing it on you....Have you been to a meeting? Prison? I'd much rather been in the rooms. In fact,  I've been to quite a few both AA and NA meetings and I can definitely see the legitimacy of how they could help some people. Not everyone is the same...personally, they make me want to use more (and when you're quitting, that's not good).

In response to the OP, I'm a little confused, as to the "daily user" "hard user" and "frequent hard user" categories...I definitely use every day. Oxycodone(or hydrocodone) all day every day, and weed most nights. What exactly would this make me? If daily user is say cannabis or pills, then I'd probably fall into that category, but for some reason, I view daily as just once or twice a day/night. Whereas, I see hard user, not exactly as meth, coke, heroin (the "hard" drugs, lol) but as someone who uses all day, every day.
Anyway....voting on hard user simply by my own logic and how often I use...
Feel free to clarify and correct my assumptions...

Good lord, I had absolutely no idea.  I should think that's incredibly stressful.  I mean like... Jesus man, didn't you comment on shadow people in one thread?  Meth was your thing (thought dope was H, usually)?  How the fuck can you even talk to someone like me without relapsing, LOL?!

I'm glad you got away when you wanted to though, man.  Thanks for the answer :)

Yeah by dope I mean H. In the shadow people thread I was referencing some of my youthful excesses with amphetamines and other stims. But I found I love sleep too much to go long with that flavor of drug.

And I didn't quite get away when /I/ wanted. I got away when the State of XX decided to send me away.
But I've since stayed away.

So to the internet ganstas who make prison comparisons, nah dude, the rooms ain't worse than prison :)

We identify strongly with the OP self-assessment in our own patterns of use and accessibility.

Having a drug 'vacation' right now. Not a break from drugs, a break from work to DO DRUGS @ HOME, no flying off (in planes at any rate).

I don't really like being labeled something but I do use what ever drugs I want when ever I want, I'm not addicted to anything though. I guess it just depends on your perception of what makes a drug "hard" but if I had to be labeled something it would probably be more along the lines of "highly functioning addict".

I can't speak for the OP, but you don't see the value in knowledge for the sake of knowledge?  I mean it's interesting... what more of a reason than "I'm curious" does somebody really need?  For example, I'm amazed there's even one drug-free forum member.

Mainly only when good parties come on my calendar, otherwise I'm out racing my cars on the track (which I need a clear head for) :)

But binge weeks do happen, maybe twice a year.
