My Experience of Substance Abuse Reviews

Cast your minds back, if you can, to the very early 1970s....the era of the long-hairs, cheesecloth, patchouli, espadrilles, tie-dyes, Kensington Market and afghan coats. I was young, I was curious, and it was in fashion. I'd been in the company of lots of other people who were using it regularly with no problems, and they all seemed ...  Read the complete review

Picture this: 5 teenage guys, in a cosy little garage on a Friday night, a hard week’s work forgotten, and made worthwhile by the total tranquility in the room and the overall contentment on everyone’s faces. Joints are being rolled, bongs are being stacked, finished bottles of coke and pizza boxes cover every inch of the carpet and ...  Read the complete review

Drugs can be extremely pleasant to use but also very destructive and dangerous. Most of us take risks on a daily basis we cross roads, we use public transport, we walk through underpasses, and we drive cars. If you look and listen before crossing a road the chances are you wont get run over. Doing a line of cocaine, smoking a joint, taking LSD or ...  Read the complete review

I took Ecstasy from the age of 16 - 23 (im now 24). I remember the first time I took it, I was barely 16 and was at World Dance with a few friends. One of my mates offered me a pill and I dropped it as everyone else was. After 15 minutes I thought it was enough time to feel something and I didnt, so I took one more. 40 minutes later....OH MY ...  Read the complete review

Let me tell you about my experience of living with a drug addict who is my own sister, and the effects it has on the family. There was once a very disturbed 14 year old, always stealing from her mother, staying out, running away, and causing the family a lot of heart break. So one day she was sat down and asked what was wrong, the reply ...  Read the complete review

MY BACKGROUND ************* I am a respectable computer professional without any criminal convictions, working for a large public organisation. Twice in my life I have been deeply involved in drugs. There is hardly any street drug I haven't tried. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not proud of it. The first ...  Read the complete review

There I was. I opened the yellow packet and snorted it all. I got a slight tingling sensation in my nose. All at once everything went dizzy and I saw Tutankamoon and King Henry the 8th Dancing with Maradonna in the moon light. They danced and danced until they fell over a porcupine. Then they lay on the floor laughing. I don't know ...  Read the complete review

Several times over the last couple of weeks I have found myself drawn to this category, longing to write about my experience but afraid to open myself up to all the pain that I’d stored away in the darkest corner of my mind. Today, I decided that the fact that I keep coming back here must mean that it’s something that I haven’t ...  Read the complete review

Which really are the harmful drugs? Why do people get hooked on them? Is there a lasting solution to the problem? "Everyone takes drugs." That sweeping statement may be used to induce the naive to experiment with illicit drugs. But depending on how we define "drugs," those words contain an element of truth. The term ...  Read the complete review

I read a very interesting review on here earlier today from Spacelamb regarding drugs and how they are perceived by society. It was interesting to read all of the 60 comments that had been written form many members and some of the things that have been written compelled me to tell my story! I have been affected by drugs in a big way in my ...  Read the complete review

Argh… just let me get this bit out of the way, ok? God knows how this one is going to be received. + Cannabis, I suppose, is the drug it’s ok to like - the others being either too dangerous, or too legal for us to be flippant about. Heroin scares us, tobacco bores us… cannabis on the other hand, fills the remaining ...  Read the complete review

I do not rob old ladies to get my next fix. I have never been found under a railway bridge with my eyeballs lost somewhere in my cranium. I am a recreational abuser of substances, and I can feel a rant brewing. First of all, as this category is quite specifically about my *experience* of substance abuse, I will tell you a couple of tales. ...  Read the complete review

Substance abuse can come in the form of prescribed drugs as well as illegal or street drugs. I know through my own experience of addiction from taking pain pills prescribed from my doctor lead to my addiction. It all started 8 years ago while I was working as a meat wrapper in a grocery store. I developed tendentious and arthritis in ...  Read the complete review

I am a recovering addict, having been clean a few years now - I currently work as an addiction counsellor. The views expressed to date leave me feeling sad, they reflect the eality of heroin, or for that matter, any other addiction. I have done many of the things that various family members have talked about. What I really want ...  Read the complete review

Heroin addiction. What does it mean to you? It probably conjures up some scene out of a film where everyone is doing it, having fun, feeling great etc etc. How far from the truth can you get? One of my friends son's is an H addict. He's on the dole - he can't get a job because of his convictions for theft as a result of ...  Read the complete review

I have already written an opinion on Cannabis and I am quite happy to hold up my hand and say I am a regular smoker. I have no problems with cannabis and I do think it should be legalised. Heroin however is a different kettle of fish altogether. I have watched my sister in law turn from my sweet little 13 year old bridesmaid to a ...  Read the complete review

For five years my sister died. She was addicted to the most evil drug I know of - heroin. She totally changed, my once loving, kind, funny beautiful best friend became a selfish, nasty monster. She cared about no-one but herself. I watched a person who I loved dearly change dramatically overnight into a drug addict. Drugs are ...  Read the complete review
