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
You’ll never see me say this, CSIS
As said on that one Dr. Dre song, smoke weed every day. Well, vape because my lungs aren’t great, but same difference.
Small world, Dr. Dre is also my Primary Care Physician!
At my age, ibuprofen.
Naproxen sodium
The difference between Advil and Aleve is experience.
Tell me more.
Diclofenac
Too hard on the heart. No thank you.
YOU BE WHAT? YOU BE PROFEN ALL NIGHT?
Alright, relax lmao
At your age you be profen?? Is this a flex cause you can get it up as an old man or are you admitting you’re a teenager? Cause you be profen ALL night long?? Hey guys this guy be profen!
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.
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

For a few months… straight?
Every time I’ve tripped, I’ve had zero interest in taking it again for like several years.
Also, doesn’t tolerance build immediately, and you need to like double the dose each time you do it again?
Lol a few days straight, but then just sporadically over a few months. I didn’t notice much as far as tolerance buildup over those few days
In my very limited experience, tolerance for shrooms is very quick, but not so much for LSD.
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.
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.
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.
Don’t want me to say “caffeine”, huh?
Well then, sugar. I’m medically addicted to the stuff, and kicking the habit before my prediabetes turns to diabetes is showing itself to be a struggle.
Caffeine was the hardest addiction for me to kick, and we are wired for sugar addiction. Sugar triggers an insulin spike, which is the fat storing hormone. In the late summer and fall, when fruit ripens, our genes caused our ancestors to gorge on fruit and store fat for the long, hard winter ahead. Now that we live in abundance, with a surplus of calories available everywhere we turn, this storage of fat for the winter is unnecessary. Worse, food companies recognize that we are wired to want sugar, so they add sugar to virtually everything to make it more addictive. This is why I minimize the highly processed foods I consume and when I consider any food with a nutrition label I look and see if there are added sugars (which there almost always are.)
Mushrooms of magic.
Nontoxic, non-addictive, mind-broadening, easy to safely dose and for me and my fellow psilocybinauts, a very comforting, mother-earthy, wavy high.
I take them very rarely, as in less than once every couple of years, but they are my favorite altered experience by far.
Caffeine.
Edit: damn, I didn’t read the body before submitting. You got me OP, but I’m actually straight edge!
Teeeheeeee
Gen X here…MDMA late 80s, early 90s when the quality was good, and the party’s still underground.
I came here to say MDMA too! I’m a Millennial but it was far my most favorite drug c. 2010.
I heard (literally just a few internet comments) saying it’s almost impossible to get pure MDMA anymore. Any idea if that’s true?
Not true at all.
The quality of MDMA has never been better! It went through a rough patch with tons of BZP/TFMPP being passed off as legit pressies in the late 00s, but after a new extraction method was discovered in the mid 2010s, your standard pill is like 200-350mg (80s and 90s pills were 80-100mg)
Weed for regular use. But mushrooms changed my life. Can’t trip regularly though or I’m pretty sure I’d understand so much I couldn’t even semi-function in the world anymore.
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?
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.
Maybe lemon tek method might help. Or just find some DMT or 2-CB, which have been by far the strongest visuals for me.
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.
Cannabis for sure. I mostly do edibles, but every now and then, I light up, breathe deep, and relax.
