Thinking about trying drugs

Larry Wells2 said:So, I'm writing this because I'm planning on trying drugs for the first time. I'm 17 and a junior in high school.

I guess I've just reached a point where I feel like I've done everything else and I want to try something new. To be clear, I haven't even touched weed yet. I have zero interest in smoking that. But all my friends are into speed now, and now this other friend is pushing us to try cocaine. Money isn't the issue. I'm just stuck on what to actually go with, so I wanted to hear about your experiences. What's the best way to get a real high without being a total zombie for 24 hours? I'm thinking about doing something Saturday night so that by maybe 2 or 3 in the morning on Sunday, I'm somewhat functional, though I still want the experience to actually hit.

Honestly, what kind of smoke screen is this? You should tell the boss there are plenty of much simpler ways to get this done. 😁

It’ll sweep you off your feet, honestly, just go try it, though I really don't think at seventeen you're quite equipped to recognize where those lines are that you're about to cross.

Does anyone happen to have an emoji for someone facepalming right now?

So, this counts as promotion:

Not all drugs are bad. Some... are awesome.

Mališa, honestly, you should probably just go ask that "fascinating" guy from The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards. I mean, the man’s tried everything under the sun—including his own old man.
What you actually need is two or three solid slaps to the face. I'm pretty sure you haven't tried that yet, and trust me, it'll cost you way less than this total garbage you're chasing.

Mods, can we get some intervention here?

Screw the mods. I bet you haven't even tried it. ☕

...man, I’ve had some really bad experiences with drugs. I tried weed and XTC once, and both were just awful; such a terrible feeling👎 ...so I haven't touched anything else since

...I remember taking some pills a few years back... I was about 17 at the time... it was not a good time; I just spiraled into this intense paranoia, convinced everyone was out to get me, like they wanted to jump me or rob me; I was even hallucinating... honestly, it was the worst three hours of my life!!!

Man, what are you even trying to prove here?

Look, kid, just grab an axe and go chop some wood—maybe ten feet worth—and get it done. $200 Or if you're just looking for something to do, grab a hoe and weed the garden, trim the bushes, or go water the plants...

Seriously, what an idiot.

Where has the internet even gone? Now you have kids looking for advice on how to try drugs for the first time

Oh, how times have changed...

Man, you clearly wrote all that specifically hoping someone would chime in...

At least they're asking instead of getting screwed over.

Yeah, right. Like you know anything about it.

I'm with you on that.🙏

He wouldn't get played if he just gave me $167 for some 🤣

A few years back, I spotted this little booklet in a library—perfectly translated into English. It was basically a field guide for weed: how to shop for it, judging quality versus quantity, vetting a dealer, finding spots where you won't get busted, smoking techniques, even some edible recipes 🙏

Frankie — I never pay upfront 😁 even if it’s for my best friend

A Guide to Picking Your Dealer

Rule one: only buy from someone who actually approaches you. Undercover cops can't initiate the offer—that’s straight-up entrapment. As long as you don't walk around looking like a fed (and let's be honest, sometimes even when you try not to), dealers will practically throw themselves at you.

In the current scene, the slang is pretty predictable. You’ll mostly hear "smoke"—likely because it’s vague enough to provide plausible deniability—followed occasionally by terms like "indo," "trees," or "bud."

Most street-level dealers are Black men. But don't make the mistake of thinking white dealers or women are any less sketchy. They aren't. Everyone in this game wants your cash—as much of it as they can grab. In my experience, the ones who actually succeed are the ones who play nice, acting non-threatening to lure you into a false sense of security. I’ve been burned by dealers of every race and gender imaginable.

I'll stick to masculine pronouns for simplicity.

Personally, I tend to favor the smooth talkers over the thugs. It’s just a hunch—nothing backed by hard data—but I figure the guys who rely on negotiation rather than pure intimidation are the ones who stay put in the park to work the crowd, instead of just jumping someone and bolting.
