I never really did a lot of drugs besides smoking pot a few times but I tried crack once at a party in college and I felt pretty ashamed of myself immediately after despite high. I didn’t try it again and am actually a sober adult now, not because I had a drug problem but I just grew out of wanting to try them and never liked to drink alcohol.
I never met anyone else who would ever admit to trying it though or even cocaine despite statistically knowing many people have haha. Any crack smokers on lemmy?

I’m not curious enough to try. The stigma and negative consequences just don’t seem worth it.

I have an addictive personality with little impulse control (e.g. caffeine, sugar, TV, games).
I don’t do things in moderation. I know that smoking would kill me if I started, and as a dopamine chaser, I know that any drug that immediately makes me feel good will be a crutch that I will use for the rest of my life.
No thank you sir.

This is why the one time I was around meth I asked the other party (someone I was sleeping with casually) to not let me have any if I asked to try it. I’d be on the street for sure. I didn’t ask, so I don’t know if she’d have kept her end. Either way, I’m glad I didn’t get tempted.
However, I’ll do a mountain of coke so long as I don’t have a phone number to ask for more.

I have tremendous respect for people who are aware of their own weaknesses, able to admit them, and maintain boundaries for themselves. Congratulations!

maintain boundaries
This is admittedly the hard part, but thanks!

Same deal here. I went to a college party with an acquaintance and he did a line for the first time while we were there. He made SUCH a fool of himself the whole night. I’ve been deterred ever since. I never want to lose complete control like that ever.

Crack is one of the drugs I would never try due to the so many bad outcomes. Meth, heroin, fentanyl, and other opiates are also on my NO list.
Is it any similar to cocaine? I did try that and … it’s ok. But I didn’t get that wow feeling that coke fans swear on.

I don’t know why people get into meth and crack in the first place. They’ve heard all the stories and likely know people messed up badly from it already. “Hmmm, this is the drug for me!”

People hunting extreme pain relief or getting “just a little higher” once you’ve out toleranced the easy stuff

I wonder if they somehow think they will be able to manage it.

Yeah smoked it a couple of times. Wasn’t as good as expected. We were all quite in to party drugs, ie ecstasy, speed, coke, acid etc. The buzz on crack wasn’t a patch on a good trip!
- BaumGeist ( @BaumGeist@lemmy.ml ) 4•1 month ago
nope. Especially now after having lived for a few years in a booming rehab community, seeing secondhand where addiction gets people.
I did coke a few times, it was okay. The high doesn’t last long enough to justify the cost, and I was already jonesing for more the last time
