Do you regret taking drugs?

I certainly wish I'd never tried heroin - even though it was only 3 times. I also regret a period of cocaine use that bantkrupted me and cost me a relationship.

I mainly regret picking up the needle more than any specific drug. If I could enjoy amphetamine-stype stimulants without having to slam them then I would probably always take them. However, the physical damage is worse than the mental damage and always brings binges to an end.
 
My only regret is not trying more... To be fair can’t think of too many drugs besides maybe opiates but over the years I’ve wondered if they’ve helped or hindered me. All other drugs have only brought flavor and excitement to my life, and some have even brought about an elevated way of living even in sober life.

If someone asked me which, if any drugs, they should avoid I’d say opiates simply because most people get eaten alive by them and I’ll probably be another.

I do. From the very beginning when I was 13 and my big sis asked if I wanted to have a little fun w weed.
Me and my ADHD self said ok, that dragged me into a eternal abyss.

Smoking weed was my escape thru my teens. When I turned 18 I tried meth because weed was making me tired at the clubs.

From there it was then E, the real MDMA. Blue dolphins.

Then came all u wanted was to get high.
In April of 05 I bought fifteen grams of shrooms and lost it from there.

Too many bad choices led to the reaping what I sow today. Hell on earth. The only thing good is I’m a better person because of the pain I’ve been thru.
In a way it is a blessing in disguise, just wished I wasn’t so hard headed.
 
Wow this is a tough one. I often wish I hadn't ever started any drug and wonder how much richer I'd be and what I'd be doing. The people I've met, long term friends and a lot of my life has been shaped by them in some way. Plus, being a child of the rave scene, it was all so intertwined with music, the culture and the after parties..... So many fun times. But now I think of it, I've screwed up some good relationships, my health and a good chunk of my life abusing them, I wish I'd never started on opiates and benzos for a variety of reasons. It's really hard to say.
 
Yes I wish I never tried drugs.

to be honest I think if I had approached life and was sober to this day and never touched a substance I would easily be a millionaire and probably one of the best lawyers in the country.

That’s not even being cocky or self conceited... if I put the time effort and money into law school and that career choice I would undoubtedly be in an unimaginable place compared to my current financial situation.

I’m sure I can speak for a lot of the people on here who have faced drug addiction that they too would be incredibly successful people had drugs not been around.

On the flip side,

no I do not regret using drugs. They got me through a lot of tough shit, suicidal ideation, anxiety, depression, social anxiety... drugs changed my prospective of myself. Weed reinvented me, I went from a bullied, scared little 14 year old to a weed selling, confident, 16 year old who wouldn’t back down from shit.

Drugs and drug culture taught me toughness, it taught me to not be afraid, to explore, to be open minded and to not fear life or anyone in it.

Drugs brought me to hell and back, from sleeping in a tent on a 100 degree summer day dope sick as all hell, near death, to a terrible mushroom trip curled up in the fetal position. They made me do some dumb shit I never would have done and got me locked in one of the worst jails in the country. They devastated my family overdose after overdose.

But ultimately drugs made me who I am today, and even after all the shit, I think i am A fairly intelligent, hard working, caring, morally balanced character.

Would my life be more stable and financially free had I been sober forever? Without a question. Would I have the same kind of enlightenment that I have had I never touched them? I doubt it. Would I be happy knowing the person I am even if I was rich beyond belief and had all those material things? Probably not.. yes self accomplishment is a hell of a feeling..

But what is money without love and understanding of suffering?

at the end of the day the substance that caused my life the most damage is unquestionably alcohol, having my worst arrest being drunk and doing things I never would have done even on cocaine or heroin, alcohol combined with a dark state of mind / temporary mood is an incredibly dangerous thing
