Wanna try it...once?

Is it ok to tread down an unknown path once in a while...experiment for fun or thrill?
A lot of time young kids and college going teenagers and sometimes even elders, try experimenting with stuff they've never thought they would.
I am not commenting or questioning in general, my question is related to a particular topic.

I was offered drugs by a buncha new buds when I first went to college. I was shit scared and refused ..but a couple of my friends tried it ...one of them got hooked on to it and one of them never tried it again.
We all know..what happens if we smoke, booze, dope and all other stuff in that series...in control or out of control ..
Do we have a guarantee that it would stop then and there if we tried stuff like these out once?
Do we have a guarantee that it would not take over our life...and that it would be something you do once for thrill or jus to figure out whats the whole fuss about? Is there a chance you take to see if you love it or hate it in the first instance? Is it a good feeling to say to yourself that I've been there, done that......or is it a good feeling to say to yourself, that I've been there but walked away from it??

Knowing all about it, is it ok if we try out stuff like these once......?

Sonia, lol.. @ the topic.
Good to stay off bad things.
The devil in me wants to try smoking pot just ONCE in my life for the heck of it. Have listed in post-retirment to do list, since I would hate to live my life in an irresponsible manner until then!

Personally, for the fun of it or not, I would not put my life at risk ever and through drugs or smoking a big HECK NO! 🤢
I hate people who smoke and take drugs, they may do it under depression or whatever but only those who have seen the long term effects will know what I am talking about. If they don't care about their lives, why should we?
Drugs is a BIG thing nowadays and just walking down a main road you will find people offering you drugs, quite shocking actually and obviously no1 has the courage to actually report any of these weirdos.
Also, what kind of drugs are you talking about? In school we had a drug session by police inspectors to make us aware and we were shown all types of drugs. Simple drugs that look like stickers and iff applied can be more harmful that a lot of well-known drugs. i remember one of these drugs cases we were told about a girl locked herself up in her bathroom-had a knife in her hand and was acting like a psycho because she thought her family was going to kill her. 😭 and another girl who thought she was climbing a tree but was actually crossing a road and got run over and was brutally injured. worth the thrill? i don't think so, i'm completely against any1 who does any of this nonsense, short-term...long-term or whatever. 🤢
See thats a reason why in parties i'm scared just to take a puff of smoke, who knows, it could lead to me having lung cancer or heart disease?! For the small bit of fun, putting your life at stake? 😕
and about having stopped after starting, it depends on your body and whether we have the mental capabaility to stop later on and not become addicted.
Oh and another reason why I would never smoke, because I cough a lot and cannot stand tge smell quite frankly. 😊
Each cigarette you take, takes away a minimum of 5 mins of your life(as i've heard 😕 ) and those who are addicts, all i can say is GOOD LUCK 2 THEM! lol
What about you sonia? Would you ever dare to do drugs or smoke a ciggy?...

Hell No to drugs buh only cus Im darpoke number one! 😛 Im so scared of the first time trips that people keep talking about with such passion! Some ppl manage to handle it, N some need to be handled after the first kick off 😕

My thoughts n beliefs dont allow me to try out drugs like hash or crack or anything of that kind, cus I just hate the thought of losing control over one's own body 😕 Silly as it may sound, but yes that is a fright besides the life threatening episodes that have happened around me on the first go as well. And the fact that I know what goes inside the body with the neurotransmitters going haywire, I wouldnt even wanna try it once.

But having said so, I have tried to take a puff off a cigarette. It was horrible n yucky n I coughed my life out and in ..and I wudnt go there again ever. But I tried one puff then cus my head reasoned out by saying, there are no trips involved when you take ONE puff off a ciggy... it seemed like lesser of the evils for some reason, I was jus amazed with the fact that I really felt like even trying it out once 😕

I have a few cousins of mine who I think wudnt even go that way, but now tell me yes they have tried it once but never took it up again. What I wanted to know was, do people reason out and try even drugs the same way the first time? Is is right to do so?

Only if you have the will power to stop the addiction, if it comes to that. I have gotten drunk and smoked marijuana once or twice, but I stopped it... I think there's a certain limit to taking a chance and you cross the limit when you take a risk for your friends without thinking about the aftermath. More power to you if you walk away from it even if you want to try it, just once. I won't recommend anyone doing anything unless you know you can stop it right away and you know you wouldn't want to "try" it again.

See, i'm not sure if I have the willpower to stop taking drugs even thought I really really hate the thought of taking them.😕
I am a #1darpoke too😉😆

Some people's body can take this, i'm scared if mine can't and I end up loosing my life throughout the whole porcess of this addiction.
Hehe, yeah, just that one ouff, it seems exciting lol, but just walking to school and having people smoke near the bustop is enough for my body to take, smoking one puff seems a great big deal for me lol.

Have you guys heard of sheesha? A lotta shops round here do that and they come in different flavours and all, very famous in Middle-East countries if i'm not mistaken. Nowhere near as bad as smoking a ciggy but yes still addictive and does cause harm, just not as much. Never actually tried it but lots of people I know have and all i can say is that they are addicted.

I think majority of people take drugs the 1st time in clubs and all and because everyone is doing it around you, like you said, people reason with themselves and say it's just one, why not, won't do me any harm? That's why there is so much awareness about all of this recently and we go smoke-free on July 1st in all public places and workplaces, YAHOO!!😃👏😆

I know a few people who smoked to and all they say is-been there, done that and never want to do it again! lol, but from my dad's side his cousins and all smoke a LOT! and they live in countries like Dubai and all so maybe its the influence there but thank God my dad doesn't smoke...pheww!

Oh and sorry for calling you Sonia re, I already told you how much I love that name😳😛it's sooo cuteee hehe!! Will call you sohn if you want me to😊

Aaah yeah! Eeeengland goes smoke free from today!! Though its not terror-alert-free yet 😕

N I have heard of sheesha, n though it sounds less harmful, is still addictive apparently. Never tried it myself, so now..lol this one might be on my to-do retirement list 😛 I like the gud-gud sound 😛

erm N IF my mom reads this post, she'll smoke me for dinner tonite 😕

And dont you dare stop calling me Sonia 😛 lol Yaar that was for Monika who seemed lost in the whole nic/name thingy, so clarified.
