LGBT people have a higher rate of substince abuse than the rest of the population. So, I've decided to survey /lgbt/ on it:

Nope.

Not inherently. I dislike shitty people. Unfortunately, many people of the people I've met who abuse drugs were shitty people. So yes and no I guess. Live your life the way you want I guess.

I wouldn't call weed a problem because I take long breaks every once in a while to prove it's not an addiction.
>>
>What letter are you?

Bisexual dude here.

>Do you drink?

I have a few beers or glasses of wine on the weekends typically. Always for social occasions. I usually stop at getting a bit typsy. I've never gone blackout drunk or been unable to recall a night of boozing.

>Do you do drugs?

I've done weed a handful of times. It's always a social thing for intimate settings, so I'd say I only partake two or three times a year on average.

>Do you smoke?

Other than the aforementioned weed, no. I've never had a cigar or cigarette in my life.

>Do you have a problem with these things?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if I believe that I personally have a problem with drugs, or are you asking if I think any of these drugs are bad in general?

Smoking is a huge turnoff. Moderate drinking and weed isn't offensive. I don't think I have any issues with how I use any of these in my life.
>>
>What letter of lgbt are you?
B, T

>Do you drink?
I drink only socially; and not much, because I actually hate the taste of alcohol and how it feels to even be tipsy. It's a bizarre sensation that I find intensely uncomfortable and borderline painful. I don't know why other people seem to enjoy it, or if I feel something that they don't.

>Do you do drugs?
I tried weed once for pain relief after a major surgery. (I was unresponsive to morphine in the hospital, so I was just taking Tylenol, and that didn't cut it when I got a cough and it pulled on my stitches.)

I hallucinated. It worked for pain relief, but was otherwise unpleasant (smelled bad, tasted bad, I thought glowing radioactive goo was coming out of my incision while I was on it), so I wouldn't readily repeat that experience unless I needed it again for something like pain relief.

Since I still need surgery for transition, that's still a possibility. But I have no interest in it recreationally.

I take prescription Dexedrine for ADHD, and would never abuse it because I need it to work.

No other drugs in my life besides NSAIDs, asthma meds and HRT. So yeah, no.

>Do you smoke?
Asthmatic, so no.

>Would you say you have a problem with any of these things?
I seem to have atypical responses to most drugs, so they've never been my friend.

My "drug" of choice has really always been food (sugar/salt/fat!), but I've managed to never be more than 10lbs overweight at my highest weight. So I've got a weakness there, but I work to keep it under control.
>>
>>7767840
Same anon; it just occurred to me that besides food, there's also caffeine. I used to drink WAY too much; I'm now more of a "two cups of coffee/tea/cola" a day person, but I've had a terrible habit in the past.

According to 23andme, I'm genetically inclined to process caffeine at a really fast rate. Which is good, because the supposed max recommended adult dose of caffeine in a day is 400mg, and I've drank twice that many times (think something like 4 cans of Monster plus other soda or coffee).

That's not "substance abuse" in the typical sense. But if we're examining susceptibility to addiction in general here, I thought I'd also throw that out.
>>
>>What letter on lgbt are you?
T, L
>>Do you drink?
Too much, been able to cut down recently but not as low as I would like it
>>Do you do drugs?
I smoke weed everyday; ). I'll do pretty much everything once and a while, psychadelics, opiates, speed. Always wanted to try ket because I would really like to have a vacation from my body.
>>Do you smoke?
No cigs 4 me
>>Would you say you have a problem with any of these things?
Had a problem with benzos for a little bit about a year ago. Honestly though I have an addictive personality and if I have steady access to any substance I'm worried I'll abuse it, which is why I try pretty hard to make sure I don't have access.

i've come close to it in the past, and it would be really easy to. the only thing that helps me is that i currently have no friends that even smoke weed, am too autistic to find my own dealer and i'm not 21 yet.

FtM post ops, 12 years on T

>>Do you drink?
Maybe two glasses a year, or less

>>Do you do drugs?
None that are not medically prescribed, none of which are abused.

>>Do you smoke?
No, sometimes I wish I did... cigars seem badass.

>>Would you say you have a problem with any of these things.
Totally fine.
>>
>>7767549
>20-30%

If they can't give me a proper number why should I care what they think they have to say.

Cis, gay,drink once a week,no drugs or smoking.

I do not doubt lgbt has more substance abuse but I doubt the straight number is that low considering how many people I know take a variety of drugs " to get through the day" use prescription drugs against direction and drink bottles of cough syrup to go to sleep. A lot of people abuse pain meds because they keep popping pills until all the pain is gone.

Used to drink heavily, now lightly.

i smoke weed regularly and do halucinogens from time to time. I've done various pills recreationally but i don't make a habit of it.
>Do you smoke?
i used to chainsmoke, but i quit a few years ago.
>Would you say you have a problem with any of these things?
I'm not an addict, but i definitely use weed and alcohol to deal with existential dread/boredom and that bothers me sometimes.

Drinking and doing drugs just makes me feel more sad and alone. I like looking at paintings and listening to music when I'm feeling bad.

>>Do you drink?
Only occasionally (once a week as an absolute maximum if I'm not on holiday)
>>Do you do drugs?
Coffee and appropriate medication? Yes. Anything else? No.
>>Do you smoke?
No.
>>Would you say you have a problem with any of these things?
Not at all.

I also like how all these alleged stats seem to go directly against my own anecdotal peer group.
>Gays are sluts.
>>The vast majority of heterosexuals in my peer group have hooked up, while all of the gays are either virgins who want bf or are with their first bf and have never been with another person.
>LGBT does drugs.
>>None of the gay people in my peer group have ever done illegal drugs, while all of the heterosexuals have.
>LGBT have serious mental health issues
>>Everyone I know has suffered from at least one mental health problem in the past, but the only ones who have some really fucked up shit are the heterosexuals
I could understand maybe one, but all of them? Seems a little unlikely...
>>
>>7768393
Unless for the last one, you mean "Would you say you have a problem with other people doing these things?", in which case yes. I can't force people to stop, but I don't like it.

No, but I have recently successfully cut down on my drinking because I was getting too drunk.

I smoke pipe.
>Would you say you have a problem with any of these things?
Possibly with drinking but I don't feel like it has anything to do with my homosexuality.

Also what does abuse mean in that statistic? Is smoking weed or doing shrooms under controled enviroment and safely already abuse?

>Would you say you have a problem with any of these things?
I would say I was using nicotine as an anti anxiety and was using it every 30 mins.

I also had a short bout with hydros, that was bad.
Cannabis intake has lowered too due to decrees in over all anxiety. I have started drink a lot of caffeine again.
I'm also on prescribed meds but that's a little different.

I had a problem with weed it was no longer relaxing or enjoyable. I started thinking about every cringy incident I had ever had in life and I could not stop thinking about, probably the paranoia people talk about. So i stopped doing it. It would be fine with friends occasionally but I wont do it alone anymore.
If I had a problem with anything it is cigarettes it is really love hate with these things.
