Poll Substance Abuse - Did Illegal Drugs Help You?

[CafeAulait]

Marijuana is the only illegal drug I've ever taken. I quit about 18yrs ago when I stopped drinking. To this day, I recall how much better I felt when I smoked pot. I've since tried it again in the past year and the effects seemed too insense for me, even in the very smallest amount. In years past tho, I often felt it was my saving grace. I wish they would legalize it because on a deep level I believe it is good medicine.

I have been self medicating with grass for years. It helps me focus, sleep, and eat. Without it I do not eat.

My pdoc and therepist both suggest I move to California. Not an option. My pdoc appologizes for not being able to find me a perscription drug that works at least as well as the grass does. The biggest problem is finding it locally having recently moved to my husbands home state.

Pot is the only illegal drug I used. It helped me for years and years in a way I guess. To numb, not deal with anything. But in doing that, it also made things worse for me. Over time the highs were never the same and basically stopped working. The paranoia and anxiety were awful. I realize looking back that I just wanted to not FEEL anything, by doing that, I missed out on so many of my children's joyful moments. I also missed out on seeing what was "really" going on around me.

I went from one bad behaviour to another, either with pot/booze/other meds/sex or the combo of them all to not "exist"...

So sure, it helped in the short term of not "feeling" anything........Made things all that harder in the longterm for me and all my children.....
