These 25 People Took Drugs and Destroyed Their Lives

I inherited $500,000 when my dad died and three years later I was homeless.

Almost all of my past drug experiences have been in a party or experimental sense. But the most recent time will be my last with anything but weed. I had been struggling with a lot of anxiety and depression, so a friend gave me a little over 30 gold Xanax bars. I had taken half a bar on maybe three separate occasions to help me sleep and everything was good. Until one night I got home after a horrible day at work. There had been a lot of personal issues going on for me that I’m not willing to talk about, but I walled in my house to find my live in girlfriend had moved herself and all her belongings out with no warning. I grabbed the remaining Xanax, and a half gallon of whiskey and proceeded to snort a few bars while drinking a Jack and coke. That’s the last memory I have for nearly 24 hours until I was being arrested for public intoxication.

One time at a festival my friends and I bought what we thought was pure MDMA (this was our second time taking it ever). When we were sorting out the lines I decided to take the bigger one…..wrong choice. 10 mins in everything was spinning so I laid down and opened my eyes and the forest ground was up by the sky. I then began shaking violently and felt like I seizing. After about 15 mins I was okay but still kinda shaken up. Later we found that it was probably laced with meth.

First time doing shrooms, took a pretty big f*cking one, and drank about 7-8 shots after that. I ended up 3km away from the party, in some random lady’s lawn, laying down on the ground crying because I was certain that I killed someone. I went to the hospital and my father came to pick me up.

A guy in my old school sandblasted his foot while high on lsd. He had something on his shoe, took the sand blaster out of it’s case, put a pen in the door sensor, than blasted a hole into his shoe going to bone before vomiting and falling over. He was found 20 minutes later when class started.
