Sq3r, your beach trip sounds really awesome.
I'd definitely be willing to try a hallucinogen just as a religious-type experience, but absolutely no hard drugs ever. I wouldn't smoke anything at any point in my life either.
My beach trip was amazingly awesome. One of the highest points of my life. I don't think it would have been nearly good if it weren't for the setting and the people I was with. They were my best friends in the past whom I respected a lot, and who you're with (if anyone) is EXTREMELY important with hallucinogens. Pretty much all factors are somewhat important, but I think mainly where you are and who you're with.
I think ecstasy is the hardest thing I will ever do. I doubt I'd ever be interested in coke because, for one thing (from what I hear) the high is really fucking short, and coming down from it is like... horribly depressing. Actually that's another thing to consider when taking some drugs: coming down. For some people it can be an awful experience when you start to come back to reality and realize things just aren't as awesome anymore :[ I've never had that before, though, luckily.
I would not suggest people unexperienced in trips try it unless they really know what they're getting into, because it is one of the most intense trips readily available.
I'd love to try salvia, shrooms, acid, e, and maybe something like peyote, or something, but that's not likely going to happen any time soon... But the only reason I'm interested in them is because I've made sure I educated myself on them enough to understand them fairly well.
Quoted for emphasis. Before I try ANYTHING (even when I started smoking marijuana) I read up on it like crazy. Wikipedia is a great place as well as Erowid, like Bobbias said. I will never do anything that is infamous for being physically addicting (coke, heroine, meth, etc.) and most of the things I have done have very few negative health effects on the body. Even acid is relatively safe if you trust your source. It's not entirely synthetic, so that helps a little bit. I'm definitely not saying that things I've done are ALWAYS safe, I'm basing it on statistics I've read and just common sense.
I've done X a few times, and I was not impressed. That is something I suggest you stay the hell away from unless you're POSITIVE it's okay. From what I've heard, most pills these days are like 20% MDMA and then cut with shit like speed and meth and whatever else the maker can fit in there >:[ The first time I did it, it was just a really mild body high, and my emotions were really super unstable. I was with a friend, and if I sensed he wasn't happy, I'd get really depressed and have to think about happy things to feel better. The second time it did absolutely nothing, and I took three pills. And the third time I think it was probably mostly cut with meth or speed or something because my friend and I (the same one) walked to a 24/7 store at one in the morning and sat in the deli and chatted really fast for four hours straight, constantly changing subjects. That actually kinda sucked because coming down from it was just totally instant and I suddenly didn't even want to talk to my friend at all anymore.
shut your fucking mouth don't try it, It's horrible. This is coming from someone who likes the effects of most drugs. Its like acid in 15 minutes.( NOT GEWD)
P.S: When I've tried salvia I always used 25X or up.
Might I ask why you didn't like it? And is 25X a lot? I don't really know a whole lot about it yet.
And I'm going to reiterate this because it's super important as some of you seem to be taking an interest in drugs. Think about what you're getting into. Illegal drugs are ILLEGAL and you can get fucked over if you're caught. But most importantly
READ THE FUCK UP ON SOMETHING IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT. Never jump into something blindly, because drugs are illegal for a reason; they do very weird and different things to your body. Don't just trust a single person who says it's okay and safe, and know where you're getting it from. I say this applies to EVERY drug; even weed. Some weed has been known to be laced with acid or other shit, which -if you're not expecting it- can really be a shitty experience. And a side note for people interested in hallucinogenic drugs, you absolutely must have a stable and healthy mind, and be confident in yourself to handle the experience. Like Bobbias said, they open up your mind to completely new ways of thinking and feeling, which can be scary, and it's easy for some people to have a bad trip. If you have any kind of predisposition to mental illnesses like schizophrenia, bi-polar, or even just anxiety, the repercussions can be pretty bad.
I know I sound like a counselor or something right now but from experience (not that I am the drugs king or anything) and reading a LOT about them, you have to know what you're stepping into.
