i've used some drugs over the years, never really as "self-medication"

Alcohol opens me up a little bit, i am still not talkative, but atleast (i think) i can dance. the problem with alcohol is, that when I am drinking I get pretty wasted.

I smoke weed almost everyday, about 4 spliffs ( 1 gram), I have noticed that since I started smoking weed I've become a bit more assertive, care a bit less what others think. but that might just be moving from adolescent to adult. Although when outside and around alot of people I used to get that paranoid feeling of "everybody knows im stoned" "everybody is looking at me and judging me".

I've taken a few xtc/mdma pills, has been near 2 years i have done that though. The first time I tried it I just went into my own world. the few times after I was not that anxious, but at the same time I didn't talk more than when I was sober. it was more about that Warmth/energetic feel inside you.
