If you wanna be cute I guess you can say caffeine. But, I’m really looking for what the average boomer would consider a drug. For me, its psilocybin mushrooms a few times a year. Weed here and there too
Alcohol is the obly “proper” recreational drug I’ve tried so tjat has to be it. I’d like to try some others but them veing illegal makes it hsrdr. Me being very drunk while typing this might have something to do with somethkng
Weed.
I have this spot on a low mountain that overlooks the valley I live in. A big boulder sits wedged into the mountainside with a lone scraggly pine giving it some shade. I just like to sit there sometimes, smoke and think. Relaxes me from all the stress I feel.
In my 40s. I partake in alcohol here and there.
A CBD/THC gummy is not only good for relaxation, but I’ve found that it helps with runny nose issues when I’m sick and stops the mucus drainage because it dries me up.
In general though, weed is great in an edible form. I don’t smoke it.
At my age, ibuprofen.
Naproxen sodium
The difference between Advil and Aleve is experience.
Tell me more.
If I could choose only one? Alcohol, it’s great for relaxing and having fun, it comes in delicious flavours and is easy and convinent.
Fondest memories? Ecstasy - dancing to great music with in a crowd can be amazing, but for me sober, or even just with booze, it’s hard to bother with. But with some mdma I’ve had some truly amazing peak experiences. Although, I’ve found the aowish dose of psychocybin has a pretty similar effect without all the comedown nonsense.
But tbh, they’re all pretty fun in the right time and place.
As said on that one Dr. Dre song, smoke weed every day. Well, vape because my lungs aren’t great, but same difference.
Alcohol. It’s easy to get and I know how I behave and what my limits are. Usually comes in a tasty package too
Thats fair. I always pick weed over booze because I consider all the calories in booze. But, then I smoke weed and eat 4 dinners anyway so its a wash.
At least the 4 dinners aren’t empty calories, so there’s that. They actually contain stuff that’s good for you. So not really a wash. Plus excess eating doesn’t damage your body to nearly the same degree as a similar number of calories in alcohol form, you can just exercise it away, or shift eating habits to account for it.
Weed, it helps me relax my muscles and get my brain out of fight or flight work mode
Fair
Mushrooms a few times a year are great. LSD is also beautiful but you really need to plan a full weekend for the experience (start early on Saturday and recover Sunday) to get the most out of it.
Caffeine.
Edit: damn, I didn’t read the body before submitting. You got me OP, but I’m actually straight edge!
Teeeheeeee
I did LSD for a few months when I lived with a few friends, I loved that stuff.
LSA is pretty cool too and you can make it yourself without any risk of poisoning. Not sure about the rules so I won’t explain how unless someone says it’s cool lol
I assume it’s allowed info because a basic web search gives lots of results, and there’s even a subreddit dedicated to it

Only tried it once and I wasnt a fan of how long it lasted.
I tried LSA and it just made me sleepy. Maybe my does was too low?
It’s either LSA or LSH, it’s been almost 20 years since I made it so I forget which is which, but basically the process involves extracting one of those and turning it into the more potent other.
For me it was like a much weaker LSD, but you still felt it quite a bit.
Gen X here…MDMA late 80s, early 90s when the quality was good, and the party’s still underground.
Weed, usually at least some at the end of every day to unwind, don’t do it while working or for social situations (anymore) get too anxious lol
The social situations one is such a delicate balance for me. Too little and I feel anxious, too much and I cant communicate well at all.
Definitely mushrooms.
The first time my friends and I tried them we took a LOT, and went walking through the woods by my house. It was a wild trip, and I’ll never forget it.
I’ve only gotten my hands on them a few times since then, and never took as many, but even only taking 1-2g, everything just makes you feel happy and giggly like a kid who stayed up too late.
I typically take 3.5 grams any time I decide to do them. Enough to give me visuals and all the feelings lol.
I’ve never had open eye visuals like portrayed on tv. The strongest visual i saw with open eyes is a tree bark pattern looking exquisitely detailed but still looking like tree bark. And that level of visual only happened like twice. Even taking a full eighth which produces a strong altered state of mind doesn’t give me open eye hallucinations.
Do you know a way to increase the likelihood of open eye visuals?
Sometimes the visuals are tricky and it isn’t until much later you realize that maybe that tree wasn’t ACTUALLY shaped like a chicken.
I’ve also heard to drink orange juice, and avoid dairy, but those could be myths.
Look at trees blowing in the wind lol. Thats how I always kick start the waves. Not like you’ll see rainbow elephants or anything but everything starts tracking, vibrating and pulsing.
