When I was a early teen I started lsd for a while(not addicting to me though) then went to meth, that was probably the worst addiction I had for a few years,did some powder also, but I don't think it took hold, since its effect was dwarfed to me compared to meth.

After all that at around age 22approx. I started just smoking weed and countinued for many years, then quit ....

I do have dreams still just like you mentioned, but about smoking weed, that actually seem to have the "real " effects,just like you described, with me it was even that intense high, almost to high, if your a smoker and quit for a week or so then start back, but I always regret starting back in my dreams and am happy to wake up and realize it was just a dream
