Title: recreational drugs while on meds??
Post by: PozJeepGuy on May 22, 2011, 02:11:53 am
i don't know why all the sudden, gut thought of Ecstasy, sh rooms, and a few other fun ones have been popping in and out of my head.  Just have a night of clubbing but then realty steps in and i don't know if this is a good thing.  I know for me dropping some ex and going to a rave is a great relief.  Will this be the case or brass myself for a rough ride.  What so you all think

Man, I feel so boring compared to many of the people I know.  The hardest thing I've ever done was pot, and I got so sick on that.  I think it was tainted with something, because I don't understand puking my guts out and feeling like I was going crazy.  I think some LSD or something was in it.  After that, I was just always afraid to take something that I had no idea what it really was or where it came from.  Give me a beer or whiskey sour and I'm good.  So, I really am as boring as I seem.  Or square...lol. 

As for doing these on HIV meds, I think most just caution against forgetting to take your meds and not real interactions.  Maybe others can give more info.

Everyone needs to cut loose sometimes

One chemistry point, the Norvir (ritonavir) will make most recreational drugs last longer and have a stronger effect (because it prevents them leaving the body at the usual speed) ie use less.

  A lot of people who actually inhale the first time experience these effects Teddy.  When I was younger I had a friend who use to smoke with me that would scare the crap out of me because he got so sick.  Go get you a dimebag and try again... once you get past the sickness issues you can move up to something harder like crack.

I doubt I would do anything stronger than pot these days but thats just me.  Of course if there was a chance to get some good hash oil, I would love the taste of that (just a drop or two on me bong hit).  This month has been fun because I actually came into some pretty good sticky bud when I ventured to WV.

Ya gotta have some fun right?

Just say no!  As if we ever had that ability.  I've never done those but am not opposed to it.  I started smoking medical marijuana almost 2 years ago and it was a godsend.  I'm not sure about interactions, but I regularly take my evening meds with white zin and so far, no problems.

You guys just made my day.  I haven't laughed this hard in a few months.  I haven't done anything stronger than weed in a decade.  And I forgot who brought up the study but i didn't even think of that aspect.  I am differently not a pnp person.  I just thought it would be fun to take some x and just go clubbing one night just for a release. 

Ann if you ever get to Denver your on.  It will be my first date with a girl since high school.

Not sure if I already knew you were from WVa or not.  Probably did, but I'll blame it on teh HIV.  My entire family is from Jackson CO WVA and across the river in Meigs Co, OH.  Seems there's no one in those parts who doesn't smoke the weed.

Post by: Ann on May 22, 2011, 10:00:30 am
A one-off on X isn't going to skew your study - just make sure you take your hiv meds as you would normally. That's the most important thing when indulging in any recreational activities; don't let the fun get in the way of remembering your meds.

I'll see if my broomstick is up to a trip all the way over to Denver. I'd hate for it to conk out on me somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. ;)

I love Amsterdam too! There's something there for absolutely everyone. Some of my fondest holiday memories are from trips to Amsterdam. Love it. One of the most enjoyable afternoons I've ever had was getting stoned and going to the science museum there. Pretty much every exhibit is "hands-on" and it's soooo much fun! I'd recommend the science museum to any stoner. :)

I am from SC but have a friend that I visit from time to time up in WV.  Fruits from that garden are well worth the drive. His abode sits in Hampshire County (west of Winchester VA) and is actually quite nice.  The fact that he is so remote enables him to pretty much do what he wants w/o worrying about the neighbors getting an eye full.  

He is hetro so no hanky-panky with me but from what I hear, he and his GF usually do the wild thing out by the pool during the summer season.  Many of my friends are hetros, they are actually a lot of fun and really know how to party.

Please don't tell me you're from anywhere close to Inez.  I will have to stop talking to you....lol  I was about 19 and trying to go from WVA to Vanceburg, KY to see my Bill.  I got lost in Inez and ended up in jail for the night for trespassing.  I didn't realize I had driven into wolfecreek coal company property.  I thought I was doing ok and suddenly the gravel stopped and I didn't.  I drove out on a coal crusher and my car was teetering on the beam that separated the crushers.  2 bubbas showed up and said they'd be right back with help.  They showed up alright, with a bunch of cops and I was scared shitless.  They were slamming me against their cars and were telling me how people disappear for trespassing in that area.  They probably grew dope there.  I was never so happy to go to jail.

I identify with feeling like I am boring, or a square.  Still, I'm glad there's an open discussion of what people are really doing, or thinking of doing, what the best approach might be, what the consequences could be.  It would be too easy and unrealistic to just say "don't do recreational drugs".

Mushrooms or LSD if you can get some good blotter acid.   Given Newts info on the time to clear drugs, remember to pace out the shrooms or acid over a few intakes so you can control how high you get.

X in a club ok if thats your thing. But if you're "too old" for certain drugs aren't you too old for "raving" and "x"?

To trip on club music, I want pot and hash.  Just my opinion.

I just thought it sounded like fun. I haven't touched anything but weed in 10 plus years. Just since the process began just always feel up tight. Thought it would be fun to blow off some steam and feel care free for a night. Once again who better to ask then those who have already done it.  Hell even before testing positive I never dropped and had sex so I know it's not going to happen.  Ps. I really miss getting laid. I haven't gone this long without ever in my life.      :-(. Lol

I miss getting laid too but am enjoying doing up me flat. When a decent shag worth me making breakfast comes along, they better have good sunglasses cos the sun streams in of a morning and everything is one or another shade of white (brown bottles aside).

I am happy remembering my old life, enjoying my current one, looking forward to my future, took a long while to get there though.

Diagnosed 2002 or 2003 (I forget) started treatment 18 months-2 years months later. I used to think about HIV all the time but don't now.  Least not in an oppressive way (I am here every day, for example). Sorting treatment was the key. My #1 man (and, erm, for now ex) was diagnosed at 16 and spent 10 years thinking about am I gonna die etc, maybe 6 after 1st time on treatment. It can take a while. Other people's experience will be different.

But in the mean time, there is life :-) (and after, lots of)

I skipped the weed and used X as my gateway drug. Then of course the next step was cocaine.

But haven't used anything like that in years.


I had a fondness for K a time ago . It was easy to buy in Tijuana and bring home in a water bottle hiding in plain sight .   
Me and some buddies once scored a half gallon of K from a Veterinarian across the border in Matamoros, also bought a bunch of pinatas and wooden statues to make us look touristy at the checkpoints.  Of course this was before the stepped up Cartel enforcement. Oh, btw, we stopped at a 7-eleven in South Texas and cooked some K up in their microwave on the way back to Austin. Idiots.

ROFLMAO :D

I had a good laugh at this, too.  Maybe I'll have to take the recommendation.  I've been surprised at people I know who've done all sorts of drugs.  I mean, they just seemed so anti-drug by day, later to find out they did anything they could get their hands on.  My good friend is one of them.  I was very surprised he was doing meth.  He did say he doesn't feel the same after a few years of doing it.  He says it caused him to have depression now.   

I have a friend who lives in Nashville and works in the country music scene.  He claims he's been to parties where country music stars were doing X, cocaine, etc.  No big surprise there.  There is a married music couple who have "Faith" and live on a "Hill" (trying to avoid google), who he claimed he has partied with.  I still think he may be making it up, but suppose if he wanted to make himself seem like he was friends with them, he could have said they go to dinner together.  What I find hypocritical are the people who get so drunk and even drink and drive, but say people who smoke some weed should go to jail.  Alcohol causes way more family problems and deaths.

Seems to me that drug taking, drug laws and hypocrisy are often joined at the hip.
I took drugs because it was fun and I enjoyed it, now apart from the occasional joint I don,t
Would I if they where offered ? probably not too many health issues, I would be scared and that is not a good starting point.
Do I miss it ?  At times I dribble at the want to put a spring in my step,  talk complete crap , dance , love and be convinced off my all round wonderfullness.

Been following this thread and I don't know what in the hell half of it means.  I've mentioned to friends in the past that I'd like to try coke one time before I die and they said I definitely shouldn't because my personality wouldn't be compatible. 

I guess I'm fortunate because the first time I smoked weed in highschool, I hated it!  So I never tried anything else.  But I guess it's time to come out of another closet.  2 years ago when I came down with the crypto, I was so severely sick and suffered horrible wasting.  My younger brother has always been a little pot head and he convinced me to give it a try.  I did it by myself out in the shed and it was awesome.  I now use it fairly frequently as a medicinal thing.   Now I've reached the point where I can take a couple of puffs and go have a drink and enjoy myself. 

I was hitting my little bowl outback one day and didn't know my mother had returned home.  She promptly busted me and I was able to convince her that Dr. Murry had prescribed it for the wasting.  Thank goodness she believed it and she said it needed to be my little secret.  Which in itself isn't surprising.   We were always taught that everything that didn't fit the ideal image was to be kept a secret.

Did you feel like you were back in high school again, getting busted by Mom?  :D

The "keep a secret" thing sounds very much family:  must maintain the image of a perfect / ideal / model family.  Unfortunately, this doesn't teach you that in fact everyone isn't perfect, or how to accept the imperfections in either yourself or others.

I suggest setting an alarm you will hear to remind you to take your meds on time....not for pot but for an x or something like it that lasts a long time this will let you relax and not worry about what time it is.

Post by: Hoover on May 23, 2011, 09:19:38 pm
Apologies, this might be a bit long....
My partner and I were in NYC two weeks ago to cross the border to CT and get married.
While there we had our son UPS us some weed....
The night before we left for home, I packed the bags and tried to get everything in order.
The next morning I looked for the weed so we could give it to a friend, but it was nowhere to be found.
Next we are at the airport going through security and we come upon the big irradiating scanner. Of course I say that I want a pat-down as I will not enter that scanner. I had fun with the security guy and let him know I was queer as pink ink. It was a hoot and he even enjoyed the diversion. When my carry on bags came through the scanner, he looked at them and sent me on my way. Hours later after we landed in our country, I opened my carry on and was knocked over by the smell of pot. Somehow the weed landed in my big Atlantis bag and no one noticed. That could have ended so badly, but instead it was only funny.
I was lucky and luck lasts only so long!

Cheers from paradise.

I have a friend and we have had HIV exact same amount of time. He did and continues to drink and drug. I quit right off. He is in and out of hospital.

I took an out-of-town guest to pride when I lived in NYC and he insisted on wearing Calvin Klein underwear (height of craze, early 90's)... I was so mortified.

... here I am years later working a Panama hat and a lot of Prada. Please admire my shirtless Puerto Rican date :) likely high on a potent mixture of crushed/snorted pills and ketamine -- my home brewed specialty.

That guy sitting between you two does not appear to be having as much fun.  Body language (crossed arms/feet) suggest he is not happy about something that just took place.  Your date has it going on for sure and that little smile on your faces tells me that the day turned into a rather enjoyable evening.

It was one of those things you paid someone to sit in, then they took your pictar and put it in a "picture greeting card" and then over-charged you for it all. Pride celebrations in NYC are sophisticated affairs!

btw, one reason I was dressed up a bit is that in true Carrie Bradshaw fashion I had arranged a pre-Pride brunch at Odeon in Tribeca (http://theodeonrestaurant.com/). Alas those other girls didn't do their part and left me swinging in the breeze.

The first time I experienced a K hole I freaked out . I was lying on a sofa and I couldn't move or speak wondering if I was going to be like that forever . Then I remembered that K is an animal tranquilizer and I freaked out some more thinking about the kitty cats and puppies having surgery and being paralyzed but completely aware they are being cut on and unable to do anything about it .

I swore if I could wake up I would never do K again . I woke up and snorted a bigger line right away . I like the smell of it .

K is short for Ketimine an animal tranquilizer , if you snort it you will get high , if you snort a bit too much you sedate yourself and go into what people call a K hole where you are sedated but aware of whats going on around you .

A proper K-hole is a complete out-of-body-experience. I've completely floated on the ceiling, or found myself in another room with glass wall, etc. It's a sensation unlike any other drug.

We always did it when we got home after the clubs. Rarely would I see someone on K at the bars, although when you did you could spot them a mile away with those "K-Steps" it was as if they thought the bar was a massive maze of stairsteps.

I accidentally did a huge hit of K on a saturday night at Boyz Cellar (thought it was coke till I got that vanilla taste in my throat), they found me in the DJ booth in a trash can.  ::)

Guilty as charged and sometimes the old days were the good old days. My personal favorites were Columbian Red and Hawaiian Gold with tie-stick coated with angel dust my all time favorite. Hash oil used to be a favorite, until I broke a vial in my jeans and spent the night boiling the jeans to get the oil out. But my absolute weakness was for LSD, particularly windowpane, but blotter or microdot would do in a pinch.

The only drug I every enjoyed getting messy on is booze.  "Designer" drugs should be used with chic.  

And booze is only fun in the messy phase before the last stage, sick and black out.  Then its no fun, either.

The worst is doing drugs with people who get messy.

Speaking of NYC faggot. What I learned in my twenties in the 80s is the above.  Don't get messy.  

Also, leave the party while it's still good.  

And never stick around a bar or club until last call.

When I moved to Europe I was surprised how polluted adults get in public and in private with friends, family, colleagues.   Blotto.  Booze, drugs, whatever.    Hey, its a free world, whatever...

This is possibly the funniest thing I've ever read.

I mean how do you respond to that?  "Umm, ok?"  "Shut up" "I'm out, peace"

All of those seem like viable responses.  The fact that you felt that was relevant to the sexual act taking place is even funnier.
