I started to use drugs on my 15th, when I drink my first glass of red wine (and after that another five). I like Grolsch and Heineken Beers, Red Wine (see picture of sik = drunk), Czech or Russian (not the awful fake-vodka Smirnov) vodka, Absinth (only available in the Tsjech Replublic and Portugal), Pastis Marseillaisse.

On my 17th I started to smoke cigarettes. Now I have stopped smoking. In my opinion tabacco is a hard drug, because it is very addictive

On my 17th I started to smoke marihuana, very irregularly (two times a year). My first time was a horrible experience. I was with my parents on vacation. They decided to make a walk in the mountains (In the departement Provence in France). I stayed and smoked some weed. After that I got very ill for the next two hours. Together with the very bright sun and the idea that my parents could come back any moment, made me feel even more worse.
On my 22th birthday party I started to use it regularly, because I loved the effects of the space-applecake that I ate (Hey, relax man, do not make big problems of small things.) Regularly is: first, one time in two weeks (half a year), then one time in one week (also half a year). In the summer of '96, I growed two plants in the garden and in september Nature gave me 150 grams of weed.  After that, I used the sinsemilla a few times a week, with some peak periods of every day use (sometimes two weeks, one time a month). Now, autumn '00, I use the weed when I need hugh inspiration, want a good discussion with friends or f.i. when watching soccer on TV : a few times a week. I never experience after-effects after stopping for a couple of weeks, so for me this drug is not addictive.

On my 18th I started to drink coffee. Now have stopped with this.

On my 22th I consumed two and a half nut of nutmeg. The effects: two days of inactivity and stonedness.

On my 23th I explored mushrooms (Stropharia Cubensis), an experience I shall never forget my whole life, five words are enough: Nature Rules and Kicks Ass!. WOW!!. This is an example of an entheogen, which means: seek the God inside you. I use this entheogen only four times a year, I want to respect this mushroom and not misuse it. When I use this I take a preparation period of a week: no alcoholics, no sex. Two days before: no meat, no cheese or other foods which interfere with MAO - reducing - substances (MAO's are chemicals in your brain which cause that you do not feel vital). See for more info: MAO inhibitors
I want to explore this drug some more, because I read somewhere that if you close your eyes after usage, you 'see' colored structures and pictures that your mind generates. It is also possible to see things that you want to see; you can push your hallucinations in a certain direction. I want to experience these effects the next session.
Included are: Picture before usage,  picture after usage,  kabouter simulation.

1999
-) I decided to invite other people to try this stuff, because I felt I have much experience on these matters (I used the mushrooms some 20 times, intermediate and high dosii). People can join me and trip (after the necessary extensive preparations) for free, because I grow the mushrooms myself and have enough of them so that people do not have to pay for it. The fact that a person wants to try them is enough to satisfy me. My opinion is namely that this drug can change society in a good way and that everybody should at least try this substance (in a controlled way guided by an experienced person (guru)) one time in their lives. The final result: I turned on three people and they liked the experience!
-) use of N20
-) use of yohimbe
-) self made absint (awful!!+headache)
-) flying agaric which did not contain active ingredients

2000: I found something like 100grams of fresh Liberty Caps (Psilocybe Semilanceata) at about 10km from my home, on a field with ponies. The Caps were working fine :-) I will keep this field in my mind for next years: a never ending source of mushrooms!
 

2001: eating coca leaves: energy!

2005:
-) took a morphine pill: a mind narrowing drug. Got really tired of this, not the thing I like.
-) First time cactus! Took 12 grams of dried Trichocetus Peruvianus; a cactus from Peru containing mescaline. A normal dosis is 20 grams. The effect of 12 grams is: 8 hours high, but no tripping, I expect if I take 20grams, I will going to trip, so that is something for next time.  BTW tast is bitter/horrible.  Have to find a better ingest this. After some 90 minutes had to vomit, but since I put the 12 grams in a coffee grinder (powder!) most of the active ingredient was probably taken by my body :-)

-) new attempt to grow the mexican mushroom: Stropharia Cubensis

2006:
-) end 2005: found 23 grams of mushrooms here in the neighbourhood, which equals about 150 euro. Nature is giving beautiful things for free! The shrooms basically grow in fields with horses and ponies. The shrooms grow best on shit :-) , so basically I eat ponyshit.
-) autumn 2006: almost 10 months later the shrooms are still fine. I took 6 grams, the highest dosis I ever ate, result: one of the most impressive trips I ever had. However, I also was a little paranoid, but not in an unpleasant way.
-) autumn 2006, due to extreme weather recent months I only found about 11 grams of mushrooms. I have to try to grow them again.

2007:
-) spring 2007, kratom tea + real mate herb tea

2008:
-) spring 2008, tried Cocaine 2 times, however I did NOT like it, this is NOT an entheogen!!! Feelings are supressed and one becomes psychologically 'cold'. I will never use this again.

Future plans:  Peruvian Cactus higher doses, ayahuasca, caapi, morning glory seeds, LSD, XTC, MIND EXPANDING drugs (=entheogens)......(so NOT the MIND NARROWING drugs like tabacco, coffee, speed, cocaine, heroine, alcoholics)
