Alright i have a pretty big question. Im 17, currently a junior in high school. I've smoked weed for around 3 months now, also have used aderol, taking 2 50mg pills to stay up and party. This weekend i have the chance to try X, and am contemplating weather or not to do it. Am i on a slipperly slope? Do yall this could be leading up to possible addiction to harmful substances down the road? i know this may be near impossible to tell, and am just asking for a best guess.

Thanks to all who answer

If you think it might happen then don't do it........ Just don't over do it, its when it becomes habit, or you just want to get high that you should really start considering a divergence of paths. But experimenting is a natural part of the human experience, it allows us to see the world through different eyes. I would suggest trying some tryptamines, I know that phenethylamines are very popular these days but some good old blotter, or some fresh mushies are alright. Don't ever try something you arn't comfortable with, in my experience if you are smart enough to ask a question then you are smart enough to answer it, take it at your gut feeling and surely don't take people for their word, if you feel uneasy but tempted, go home, do some research, ask a question, then follow your instincts. Take it easy.

Peace

yea man I mean if you like getting high it probably isn't going to stop becoming something you enjoy (in whatever form you do enjoy) until something traumatic happens. Now there is such a thing as responsible drug use and many people can do it, but many more can't and they screw their life up. I try to be responsible in my actions even if the actions are considered irresponsible by others. If your scared of it becoming a problem and you feel like this will prevent you from doing what you need to do in life than stop now before you really enjoy something and wanna keep doing it. There's alot of things that feel good but I try to prevent these things from messing up my life but if your concerned it will mess up yours jump ship for your own sake.

Dude your 17 and have done 2 substances, probably (guessing here) in social situations, there is nothing wrong with that. Though your parents may disagree with me. These are the kind of things I expect high school kids to do. Hardly a slippery slope in my opinion, when your grades start slipping, you are getting high alone everyday and feel you HAVE to, it may be time to ask yourself some for these questions. But until then have fun and dont stress.

The next drug you should try is pussy, man talk about addictive.

my grades didnt slip when I started getting high every day they actually went up a little...but in all reality everyone is different and only the OP knows if he's got an addictive personality...If you stay away from physically addicting substances you should have a better chance of not having a problem

what are your feelings on the matter? I've said(and have stuck with) that i'll never do needle drugs or snorting meth/heroin. what do you think of mdma? i dont think you'll get addicted, i smoke pot and occasionally mdma or shrooms and whatever(no meth or heroin or pcp, those are too *hardcore* in my mind) if its around and i dont think im heading downhill, if you find yourself doing the same one all the time i'd be a bit worried and would back off. i guess what i'm sayng is that figure out what you think is ok and not and stick with it. like limit yourself kinda
for example
I'll never try meth heroin or pcp and decided that a long time ago.
I have used coke like 4-5 times and im fine with that but i wont let myself get addicted so ive always considered coke ok to occasionally try/do. same with acid and x.shrooms are fun and i dont even consider em a *drug* really so i'll do em if i have the chance and do not worry at all......follow your heart and how you feel inside my friend, best of luck-

Gotta be 18 to be a part of this forum
Stop doing hard drugs and get your diploma
Come back once you graduate

Whatever man, it's all about your attitude.

If you're some kind of high chaser, then you need to sit back and get your priorities straight.

Don't get high to escape your problems. Get high to solve them.

I think a lot of ppl who are interested in doing drugs and having these experiences have gone through what youre going through.

I dont think youre going downhill. What you gotta do is just keep everything in moderation and stay in control. Realize that the most important thing at this point in your life is to concentrate on high school and graduating. Try to stay away from anything that could keep you from achieving that. You can do drugs and things as long as they dont keep you from graduating.

I went through a period where I did anything I could get my hands on. I started with alcohol then tobacco and did those whenever I got some, started doing everything else my freshman year of high school, I starting smoking weed regularly, did some random pills a few times, cough syrup a few times, inhalants a few times, smoked crack around 10 times, nutmeg twice, PCP once on accident, a few more things I cant remember. This all happened within 4 months in my freshman year. I was going downhill for a while but I got my shit together and limited myself to weed and ocassionaly tobacco or alcohol. I graduated and Im completely fine, the drugs didnt do anything negative to me.
