Top 10 Drug Experiences of My Life (So Far)

It's been a while since I've done a drug article, so I thought I'd do a little list to debunk the myth that all drug users, even those whose drugs of choice are opioids or stimulants, end up hopelessly addicted, dead from overdose or otherwise ruining their lives & harming others.  This is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

I've tried a LOT of drugs in my day, but only after thoroughly looking into the potential side effects, interactions, safe dosages & long-term risks.  Never wrecked a car under the influence, gone to jail, stolen anything to finance my habit, been to rehab, stuck a needle in my arm or otherwise fallen into this very ignorant stereotype.  After a lifetime of experimentation, I can say definitively that it is entirely possible to use drugs safely & responsibly the same way you can drink responsibly, you just have to be armed with the right information & be honest with yourself about your use.  (Some people can't manage moderation due to a history of addiction or other issues with repetitive behaviors/compulsions so that obviously doesn't apply to them, but for the vast majority of mentally stable(ish), healthy adults it's true.

With that, here it is:

 The Top 10 Most Amazing Drug Experiences of my Life (in no particular order):

Trip settings

Body-boarding in the Gulf of Mexico on hydrocodone and small amounts of codeine cough syrup.  (Unsafe).  Nothing like surfing the filthy brown waves of a Texas beach while zooming on opiates.  I had 2 sober sitters and lots of sober onlookers around so I felt it was safe-ish to do.  Great fun.  

Morning shroom trip at Burning Man on the open playa.  Very colorful.  Felt like a scene out of the Bible with all the sandals, togas & dusty-faced bearded guys.  Mountains melted & clouds took on some very lively shapes.

Cuddling w/ a friend on MDMA during Temple Burn (last night of Burning Man).  Do not die until you've cuddled/dry humped someone while rolling hard on good molly.  A sensual rather than sexual experience.  Watching the Burning Man Temple go up in smoke at sunset was also a nice touch.  🛖🔥

Weekend studying on Mini-Thins in high school.  Ahhh, ephedra.  Baby's 1st stimulant.  Mom had to buy them for me as I was underage.  She'd yell the whole time & call me an addict.  Little did I know I had ADHD & thus a semi-legit reason for seeking these out.

Clubbing on methylone - Fell in "love" with a skanky DJ while dancing all night on this drug in my 20's. It felt more like how I'd imagined "Ecstasy" would feel than actual MDMA does.  Infinite re-dose potential & less comedown than the real thing too.  

Walking through the Mormon Temple while drinking codeine cough syrup straight from the bottle.  Like a Sir.  🎩

Workouts on 2-FMA + tianeptine.  While recovering from benzo withdrawal, I could only tolerate exercise for my mood enhancement for about a year.  Gradually I added tiny amounts of these drugs: one a Chinese stimulant and the other a mild opiate.  The motivation & "runner's high" were Godlike.   

Eating at SUR in Beverly Hills on hydrocodone ($100/plate!).  No major celeb sightings but saw a couple reality stars & melted in my seat while eating overpriced linguine.

Camping on Percocet 10's.  In which myself & 3 other gals trekked up a mountain, popped some tents (and pills!) & laughed our asses off while roasting marshmallows & playing "Never Have I Ever".  

Writing a 5-star article on meth.  Yes, I'm such a nerd that the one and only time I experimented with this drug, I used it to enhance my focus/productivity.  5 stars = perfect, no edits needed.  Never achieved that level of perfection before or since.


BONUS:  Tripping in the hot tub on 4-AcO-DMT.  (Unsafe).  Psychedelics really aren't my bag, but this was a pretty memorable experience due to the gorgeous sunset, the suspicious lack of kids & the fact that my partner was also tripping.


If anyone can tell me how these drugs or experiences are somehow worse for me than getting shitfaced drunk on the weekends, blacking out & waking up injured in strange rooms covered in my own vomit & tears, wrecking cars & going to the drunk tank for fighting cops, I'm all ears.  Didn't think so..  Wouldn't trade 'em for the world & certainly not for a lifetime of binge drinking, broken relationships, damaged organs, embarrassing regretful behavior & blurry memories courtesy of the "legal drug" industry.  🫗 🚬🙅🏻‍♀

Love to hear about your most euphoric, life-changing or just plain old FUN drug experience!
