Okay so we all know about general stereotypes on what a "druggie" looks like , how they spend their time, blah blah blah. We all know thats not true. Im interested to see what kinds of groups and places you all are coming from and what kind of person you are and such. It would be cool to see where everyones really coming from, I know not everyone on here sits on their couch all day smoking with a tye dye shirt on saying "man" every other word.

Im a senior in high school, have been smoking everyday for about the past two years. I have tried most "common" drugs; weed, x, shrooms, salvia, lsd, and countless types of pills. If you wanted to stick me in a group, people would define me as a prep. I wear expensive clothes, and will never be caught without boat shoes or flip flops. I have been working for the same company for going on 3 years, keyholder in 1 year, manager shortly after, and now manager on duty supervisor. I have what many people coming out of college are looking for, a private office, company phone, company card, and I make my own schedule. I believe that smoking has affected my life both in positive and negative ways, but do not see myself stop smoking any time in the future.

Well aren't you lucky! That job sounds pretty nice, well done.

I'm a college student at Northeastern, this my third year of it, it's pretty nice. I'm a psychology and American Sign Language dual major, so I'm learning about your brain as well as American Sign Language. I work at a company that runs group homes for developmentally delayed adults and the homes I work in all have Deaf residence. It's a pretty good job that doesn't pay as well as it should for the work that I do but whatever. I smoke around 4 times a week or so. So far in life I've been able to balance school work, social life, and recreational smoking pretty well.

Well since everyone seems to be mentioning their age I guess I might as well too. I'm 20, arguably one of the worst ages to be in my opinion. It's not that I drink a lot it's just that in Boston, almost anything you might want to do past 6pm you need to be 21, like bowling for instance. Really though I'm just getting into marijuana more, I feel I am using it responsibly, none of the areas of my life have been negatively effected and I enjoy the amount that I smoke. Somehow I seem to have found a good balance without going to any extremes to learn it. I guess I'm lucky.

I'm a 44 year old father of two. I've been happily married for 13 years. I have a nice house in the suburbs, nice cars, good friends and neighbors. Most people in my area would never suspect that I smoke. I maintain the typical suburban family lifestyle and I have been working for the same company for the last 11 years. I started smoking as a freshman in high school (1977) and have done most types of drugs from LSD to speed to downers and almost everything in between. Marijuana is the only one I still do. I guess I grew out of my experimental stage years ago. As a youth I was probably more of the typical stoner most people think of with the exception that I was always in the top 10% of my class and was pretty active in atheltics, mostly ice hockey and baseball.

As I became an adult I realized that there was more to life than getting high all the time so my use tapered off significantly. I have gone months even years without so much as even a thought of weed. I now use on a purely recreational level. Weekends mostly and the odd day where life get to be too stressful and I need to unwind. Much like many people use alcohol. As with anything, moderation is the key. Too much of a good thing isn't good.

I'm an 18 year old going to the community college to pick up my associates. What I do afterwords is the real question, one I don't have the answer to yet. Being a teacher or a writer are the careers I am not heading down, but they are my "romantic possibilities."

Good-paying jobs that interest me now are maybe being a lobbyist or a stockbroker.

At 18, I'm glad I'm done with drugs. I made that decision during my last shroom trip. I went through a phase where I was too eager to try everything. I never did the hard stuff enough to get addicted, but I felt that I was getting addicted the general term "drugs." I have a drink every so often, but haven't been drunk since Graduation last June.

Since that last shroom trip, I haven't done a single drug but weed. I also calmed down from the summer, from smoking 3 blunts a day to just smoking a bowl of KIIIIND every night before bed. I think it's great. I didn't like where my friendships or life was going, and now my relationships are being separated from the ganja. I've been hanging out inside a little every day, but I'll meet some new people soon...plus I'm gonna keep some friendships from my old days too, but I don't want to chill with them until i get some things sorted out...

I'm just happy I got out of this phase pretty fast, experimented with what I wanted to,m and am done with it, at 18.

I'm kind of hard to clasify. I kind of hung out with people from all groups in high school. I wear a pair of jeans and a t-shirt everyday almost...

I`m 22, unemployed for another couple of weeks and I live in a studio apartment above a clothes shop in the center of a British market town - on the southern coast. I did school and A-levels. It sort of went wrong on the latter stage and I`ve repeated two two-year courses twice (passed one the first time) due to a variety of incredibly complex and irredeemable factors which mainly come down to 'fucking around'.

I`m now paying for correspondence courses and was working until fairly recently to save up for WTF-ever. That WTF-ever turned out to be beer, weed and transport.

"Rinse and repeat", I guess.

These are great to read! Insightful that is for sure.

I moved to Alaska when I was very young from the Midwest. When we moved up here, it ended up being isolation from all my (small) extended family down south. My father passed when I was very young and a rather abusive(towards me) step-father was introduced to my life. He was an ex-addict himself, but has since became a drug counselor and I can remember being brainwashed when I was younger.

I started smoking pot when I was 16 years old after my mother divorced him (crazy how shit like that happens, huh?). I still remember it very vividly, what we did, how I felt, what we talked about. I didn't really start making smoking marijuana a 'usual' thing until I was about 17 and I became best friends with a huge stoner. He was a year older than I, and we worked at the same pizza establishment which was my first job.

I started experimenting with other drugs at about 17 as well. I tried my first cigarette and experienced alcohol for the first time on the same day after my older brother moved up to Alaska. I had access to ton of RX (all pain killers in a wide variety) that were left over from family surgeries. Along with somewhat of a habitual smoking usage I started to experiment with every and all substances under the midnight sun (Alaska has one of the highest drug usage rates across the nation). I did that for about 2 years, then graduated High School. I almost didn't graduate from extremely poor attendance (yet maintaining a 3.0 GPA all through highschool) and I continued fiddling (somewhat responsibly, I would never go overboard or use more than twice a week) with drugs that summer.

Lots of fucked up shit happened in my personal life, but needless to say I was depressed. Very depressed. After losing several friends to drug overdoses and addictions, suicides and mental and physical abuse I decided enough was enough. I cut off most of my ties with people I don't want to associate myself with and now find myself mostly secluded. I look back at those days as 100% learning experiences, I don't regret it at all, not one bit, but I cannot say I am proud of it. I am now finally being who I want to be instead of trying to be someone others desire or someone who fits in.

I can honestly say, although still kind of depressed, I believe I always will be, happiness is coming in leaps and bound and I can finally see myself becoming the person I always dreamed of being. I am attending a local community college here in Alaska, and am hoping to become a nurse.

I am done with drugs, I will occasionally enjoy a few high-quality beers and a joint, or perhaps a vicodin or two and some bong rips. That is probably once a month, maybe 2 times a month if I'm really crazy. I don't like the feeling alcohol gives me, I just feel 'dumb', but I will enjoy it as a social lubricant or sometimes while playing video games on the weekend in my room.

I smoke anywhere from a solo bowl to a heavy smoke session with friends, it just depends on high I want to get. I use to self-medicate with marijuana and drugs, but I now realize it is a much more useful tool to use them to see into existence, rather than to 'cloud' the life around you.

I'm 25 and I work as an architect in Minneapolis. I live in a house in the Linden Hills neighborhood. I also rent property and I plan on retiring at a very young age and living off my property, I own 4 houses including the house I live in. I bought my first house when I was 20 years old.

I went to the University of Minnesota and graduated with a bachelor of science degree with a major in architecture. Right now I'm in a serious relationship, I'm not married but this is the person I know I'll be spending the rest of my life.

Here is a picture of me.

I am 21 and I live in Canada. I work at a job that I really don't enjoy.. but hey, I don't have a degree and it's better than minimum wage I am going back to school in January after a 2 year hiatus, so I am hoping this changes my job situation.
Music is my life; listening to music and playing guitar. I was in a band for a while, and it was amazing, until the lead singer moved away.
I also enjoy arts.. water colour painting mostly, and I love writing.
I am a shy person.. I generally don't talk to people unless they speak to me.. (unless I know them). I am very introverted and independent. That's pkster in a nutshell
