High tolerance to drugs and alcohol?
Discussion

I think i get what you mean,i can quite easily have a double espresso and fall straight to sleep. alcohol has little effect on me, vodka and red bull which i was promised would do something i can drink like pop.
On the bad sides though if i get a headache tablets, even paramol, dont do anything.
If im in pain, painkillers dont do anything.
Cant speak for anything else as never tried anything else.
Yes! Exactly this. Not sure why everyone seems to think I'm trying to imply I've been doing loads of Class A's and Class B's. My whole point is that 'drugs' like caffeine and nicotine which the general populous would say 'wake them up' or 'chill them out' have no effect. Obviously if I was to do Class A's (which I don't by the way, and have no intention of doing....and the only Class B I've tried was legally in the Netherlands) then I'm sure it has an effect. But that's not my point.On the bad sides though if i get a headache tablets, even paramol, dont do anything.

I'm not asking if I should try drugs! I'm asking if anyone feels anything from caffeine, nicotine or pot.
Sheetmaself - Good to know I'm not alone then. I'd agree that paracetamol etc do f all to me. I just don't even bother most of the time.

Hope you're not racing in my class !
As I said....and to be absolutely clear, I don't take drugs! I've tried Pot in Amsterdam years ago, and of course I enjoy alcohol, but somehow peoples responses on here seem to make it sound like I'm doing pounds of coke every week. Literally have no interest in trying it. But my original question.....do you feel any effect from drinking coffee or smoking?!J4CKO said:
Someone needs to have thrown a massive whitey to truly appreciate that combination of booze and weed and its potency.
Always seems like a good idea at the time too: Yeh I've drunk 10 pints, lets have a spliff..... 20 minutes later cuddling the toilet and having hot and cold sweats, hours later still going on and your head is going "why, why, why...".
And yet leave it six months or so and you somehow manage to do it again.
That said a well measured combined consumption of weed and booze at the same time can lead you to a truly spectacular level of w
keredness without any ill effects 
I'm not saying this is clever but I once took an E after drinking about 15 pints over the course of a day at a beer festival. It was lovely, remember being slouched out on a mates bean bag staring at the ceiling listening to music with a big grin on my face. As I'd also moved onto drinking water at that point and had about 4-5 pints of it over the course of the evening by the time the E was wearing off about 4-5am in the morning I really felt okay. Next to no hangover the next day apart from being a bit drowsy.
So in my younger days I'd say my tolerance was pretty high, could drink for England (10 pints+ no problem), chain smoke when on the beer without really getting a hit, coffee certainly didn't do a lot, however I it was a night for taking it to the next level I certainly knew how to do that
Anyway it's not big or clever so don't do it kids.

I thought nicotine was one of the most addictive drugs going ?
It is, and you notice when it's taken away. But your first smoke doesn't give you a rush like an E. Nor the second, nor third. It's actually the opposite, you force yourself to do it because it looks cool, you're not doing it because you're getting a buzz.It's only later the addiction creeps in.
I drink on the weekend but have never smoked or done drugs.
The only caffeine I have is via a cup of tea, as I don't like coffee.
Every few months I might have 2 or 3 pints of diet coke, this is the only time I drink fizzy pop and after 2 glasses I feel very jittery.
I can only compare the feeling to the tipsy stage after a few beers.

Jeez, sheltered life some people live. I was brought up in Glasgow during the 90's curfew. It was brilliant. I could essentially have been a perfectly commendable extra in Trainspotting (Mk 1). However, give me an entire bag of Jelly Babies and I'll be quivering. Drugs matter *
- They're not cool, by any stretch but by God, they give you a new perspective. I wouldn't change my 'education' for anything. Although, tbf, I'd never do acid again

Thinking about it i even remember when being put to sleep for an operation being told i wouldnt get to three on the count, i made it all the way to eight!
I used to be able to drink like a fish. If I stayed on the same drink, normally lager, I would get to a certain point and not get any worse. Start mixing drinks and I'd get fked up.
I'm on tablets now and I've been advised not to touch alcohol. The one evening I thought one pint won't hurt. It wasn't a good idea, one pint and I was off my tits. Even one pint of shandy feels like i've downed half a pint of vodka.
The same with weed many years ago, get to a point and not get any worse. Haven't touched any for many years so don't know what the effects would be now.
Though even in the good old days of getting fully involved what j4cko mentions below is reality. Not one bit fun. I actually felt I was going to die. Took me a few times to realise it though.

OP I think perhaps you have a high tolerance to drink and caffeine because its been built up over time and your body gets used to it. I think the big difference would be if you cut it out completely for a few months then went back to it and see how you feel.
Caffine, Nicotine and alcohol are week in terms of becoming addicted to it.

This!Caffine, Nicotine and alcohol are week in terms of becoming addicted to it.
I used to drink a lot of beer. When out for a 'session' with friends I often got asked if I was drinking non-alcohol beer as I wasn't showing any signs of intoxication! On one notable occasion, with a renowned heavy drinker, he asked how I could still walk and talk while I was carrying him to his taxi.
Then I went on a diet and stopped the beer for a year.
Fast forward to now... I have 2-3 beers and am reeling!
I don't intend to try and build up my alcohol; resistance again!
I get told this quite a bit as i do often have a little alcohol ie one glass of wine or beer on a weekend in fairly normal for me so could believe a possibility if only alcohol, however when you look at the effect painkillers have on me which I hardly ever take it doesnt ring true.
Bit of a shame doesn't extend to chocolate as i am a bit of a giffer!

I can get an effect from caffeine if I hammer enough of it, but it's not fun, just a bit jittery. Don't smoke tobacco so not really experienced that. Weed has an effect but I need a lot to get much - only time I really noticed was a friends mega strength cookies.Class As on the other hand are a whole different ball game. Very noticeable effects, from relatively small amounts.

I think you're missing my point. I appreciate the class A's are a lot stronger and that caffeine, nicotine and alcohol are mere child's play to the average PH powerfully built director who snorts 500g of coke a week and shoots up before a big board meeting twice a month, but that's kind of my point. The effect I've felt from Nictoine is literally zero, nadda, sweet fa. And yet people claim to be addicted to it, and claim to 'crave a cigarette'. Are they just bs'ing or am I just experiencing something different? I mean, I've easily smoked enough to 'get addicted' as a kid, mainly just because, like most 15 year olds, smoking was cool and grown up and dangerous and helped you fit in. But I literally have never craved a cigarette. Or felt the effect of nicotine, apart from two super strength snuss which was about the equivalent of 5 cigarettes in one go.
I'm almost certain that if I shoved a vast quantity of white powder down my nose then I would feel something. The space
Cake is testament to that fact. What about the lower 'more normal' amounts though? Is the feeling of alertness people feel when they drink coffee placaebo? Or do I just not notice it? Or do I not react to it? That's the question I'm asking.
No hit? Wow, No hit, that sucks.I'm almost certain that if I shoved a vast quantity of white powder down my nose then I would feel something. The space

I don't think you quite understand what addiction means. And I fully appreciate what I bolded above.
Personally I hate caffeine, and I refuse to take it except in very small quantities - maybe once or twice a month BIG HIT
In the past I've done just about everything going.
I hated Cocaine, I was a a big taker of MDMA, Ketamine was very popular at the time too.
I've never done IV delivered opioids, but then I watched Trainspotting 20 odd years ago and was put off sticking needles in my arm.
I think (but cannot confirm) I smoked crack on a business trip to AUS one time. Can't confirm it, but the comedown suggests it was likely.
Has the quality of (d)rugs declined to such a point? Amazing to think that without calling out the OP as a liar, the drug scene is so pathetic.
