Obviously not a frozen pension victim, like so many of your compatriots here.
Never tried cocaine. Not high enough in the management tree. Cannabis only acts as a sedative with me. Kratom is cheap, legal, and effective for me. YMMV.
I have not drunk alcohol for about 8 months, the medication I am on does not combine well. I don't miss it.
If I was to become expensively addicted to anything, it would probably be oral demerol. 100 times more addictive than heroin. i still remember having four wisdom teeth out, and being as high as a kite on the stuff.
