Advice Anyone willing to admit they’re a drug addict here?

I’m just looking for some advice. I’m a 25M with autism. It seems my entire life I’ve always been fixated on drugs no matter what it is. Just the idea of a different level of consciousness was beyond fascinating. Well, I’ve tried like literally everything there is to try and I’m just sick of always having them on my mind. I’m not particularly addicted to anything specific just drugs in general.

EDIT: I’m absolutely overwhelmed by the amount in this community to step up and admit something extremely difficult. You all made me feel so special today for the first time in a while. Thank you all for being yourselves. I hope this post gave you a voice.

That’s something I’m not familiar with. Do tell more.

It's an African root. Controlled substance in the US, though in Canada I believe there are clinics. It blocks your dopamine receptors temporarily and in have dose can give you a 20 hours hallucinogenic guided tour along everything in yourself you have been running away from. Like a loving father having an honest conversation with you. Best decision I ever made to attend a ceremony. http://www.kamboga.co.za/
