ITT: Jingus will discuss his descent into cough syrup addiction.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

Let this thread be a cautionary tale.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

While we wait for him to show up, discuss your own harrowing tales of drug-induced mania.

 

There was this time I took some hydrocodone, smoked some weed and drank several beers. I puked. It was pretty crazy.

[Black Lushus 0]

as far as "relaxing" drugs go, I'll take shrooms over weed any day.

[Giuseppe Zangara 0]

I wish I had some hydrocodone right now. You carryin', Lushus?

[Dandy 0]

I have never taken drugs unless you include alcohol as a drug. If you do, then I've done a LOT of drugs.

got some OxyContin somewhere around here

The essence of Jingus, distilled into one post:

 

My mom said she wouldn't drive me to my next indie wrestling show if I didn't stop drinking Dimetapp.

This thread is such a cocktease.

Robitussin Madness.

 

Sneaking up to the counter with a bottle of Robitussin in his hand, downing half a bottle in the basement followed by a tweaked out Jingus demanding rides to that night's show from his mother. Then there's the sexual favors just to get a capful of the Tussin and a special guest appearance by Mole bitching about eBay harshing his buzz before foolishly investing in an internet wrestling board and driving it into the ground. Lunacy.

[Jingus 0]

...wow.

 

Um, I tried cough medicine, and liked it? That's about it.

 

(Oh, and I actually hate the syrup form, swallowing Cloricidan pills is way easier.)

 

 

 

And, mom drive me to a wrestling show, any wrestling show? LOL. She's a special ed teacher who used to work in a head injury rehab clinic and is a major limosine liberal. I'm the only wrestling fan in my entire family.

Posts like that are why I love the internet.

I'd have to say the peak of my drug usage came on my 13 day methamphetamine-fueled odyssey to Las Vegas and back. My Tracker almost got carjacked (twice! one time by an angry parent of a hot girl I knew in high school when we dropped her back off, and the other time in a seedy part of Vegas- it was tweeker vs. tweeker) and I remember seeing a lot of UFOs. The insanity didn't kick in until day 9 or so, and by then Vegas just felt entirely surreal.

 

On the drive home, I was the only one still awake in our posse of bandits, but that's only because I needed to for the drive home. After I dropped everyone off and came home, I think I fell asleep for about 3 days, and didn't feel fully rested and ready to eat anything for a couple days more. Sure drank a lot of propel, gatorade, and water though! I could go into more detail, but I don't have the time to remember it all now.

You're not getting off that easy.

 

On occasion, yah. Mostly in pill form with cloricidan cuz I just couldn't stand sucking down the syrup. But since I'm with my uber-paranoid parents now in Texas, I can't do too much of that stuff often. Plus, I think it made my teeth start to fall out... not fun. I did stop doing all the much harder stuff I'd been doing though.

"That's about it" doesn't sufficiently explain so severe a dependency to something you started losing teeth.

I see IDRM in here so I'm going to interupt this thread for a moment to tell him to check his MySpace messages. I don't want to PM him here with the same thing.

 

Ok, carry on.

[Nighthawk 0]

Ok, I did check them.

 

I'm sure I can tell worse stories about the effects of the drug, Jingus is about him doing it way too long. It reminds me of these two girls I dated back to back. They were both huge drug addicts, reformed, but the one of them had drug stories that were really funny, the other's were just sad and disturbing.

 

Like, one of them would snort meth off of her text book in the middle of class in high school, in the front row. The other would do shots and snort coke with her mother at age twelve. Those are both stories of terrible drug addiction, but the subtle difference between sad and funny is exemplified.

 

The funny one I'm still great friends with. Well, not great. I'm distancing her by constantly making fun of her for being a drug addict. The sad one tried to get me arrested for harassing her after I told her I only wanted to be friends.

The fact that I haven't been near as good about brushing them as I should just might have something to do with it too. It's more a case of cavities gone unchecked than teeth falling out by the roots.

 

And considering that I've experimented with half the illegal drugs on the planet at some point, but no longer do any of them, I'd say that sticking to storebought stuff is like my own version of longterm rehab.

Mixing flexiral + vicodin + morphien + vodka + weed = OD + 2 day hospital visit

Half? Nigga I did all of them. And I will say that dex messed me up worse than anything I ever did, by far. If you want to do it, that's ok, I don't tell people what to do, but don't justify it.

 

It's like when I went to In N Out with this fat chick and she got two cheeseburgers, and she was like, "No, it's just like a double cheeseburger except you get more veggies." I was like "You want to eat two burgers, eat 'em, but do not sit there and tell me it's healthier."

15 Vicodin and half a bottle of Jack led to a nice 15 hour slumber for me.

Now THAT is intense.

You kidding me? Dex is like the really awesome version of meth. Keeps you up and going, all the fun, twitchiness, and happiness without any of the ill effects. If I could be addicted to anything, I'd happily go with that.

[Nighthawk 0]

Was I denying that? Or did it seem like I was? Cause I wasn't. I was using fucked up in a positive way. Although in my case it was also a negative way. When I went fourth plateau, it was both the best and worst day of my life.

 

And without of the ill effects? That's a mistake.

 

If I had one drug to do forever for the rest of my life, it would be... percodan.

Hey, I thought KOAB was retired.

 

No drug stories, except the 1st time I tried acid I got really paranoid.

[Guest Tzar Lysergic]

I spent literally two days wandering the forest with a ten strip of acid, a box of cereal, a carton of cigarettes, and a hatchet.

Hey, I thought KOAB was retired.

You actually thought we would retire from TSM?

I listened to Loctust Abortion Technician first time I tried acid. Big mistake.

I'll probably be here until Mike ruins it once and for all, Mole sells it off for drugs and the new owner wipes it out.

ONLY two days? I'd figure you have a better story than that, although that in itself leaves open a ton of possibilities.

Are you insinuating Leena is somehow going to return as the owner?

M. Night approves of this twist.

[Black Lushus 0]

well, technically, Frigid is the only admin of a board that is known for totally wiping said board out of existence.

[Guest Vitamin X]

No he didn't. The Pit is still in existence.

 

And Leena as an admin would be infinitely worse. Can you imagine that?
