Do you ever feel like you're gradually sliding into a crazy drug vortex?

[Dirk Gently]

Alrighty, this aint about inebriation, this is more or less about the people that you surround yourself with. it's a long story.

So I'm buddies with this kid, lets call him Chris. His buddy Kevin is a drug whirlwind. he's a cool kid, he's just slightly fucked up. Kev introduces Chris to the wonderful world of cannabis. Chris then starts selling his shit. it's a bad scene. Selling his T-shirts ( band T shirts, mind) and all sorts of various stuff. CD's, which kinda makes sense becuase of all the free music going around. He also wants to dump his girlfriend and all that crazy shit because of her opinion on the matter. I more or less side with her, even though I absolutely love the wacky tobaccy.
In the midst of all this, Kevin's buddies just scare me. I went to a party with his buddy Ewan, his brother, and Ewan's girlfriend. This kid is to drugs what white is to rice.All over it. A living, breathing fireball of hallucinogens, stimulants, depressants, all sorts of drugs under the sky. 300 dollars a week, only 50 for rent and the rest to his chemical gods. Kid scares the shit outta me. Also, he's a cunt. Didn't know my name and he still asked me ("you" to him) to give him a ride to get some rolls. I say "yeah, right, whatever" knowing a kid like that on a night involving booze meant my words were like drops of water in a bucket of epithets, rants, ravings and utterances. meaningless.

This kids starts punching trees like he's Evander holyfeild.

I never want to see his drug addled, Lloyd-from-Dumb-and-Dumber looking ass again.

THE POINT TO THIS BULLSHIT: Have you ever felt like the people you surround yourself with are just totally fucked up and you're in for a ride through some strange drug purgatory where every action just is and isn't something to be judged on account your inebriation?

Man, I think this is fucked up as hell but I still have this strange, perverse urge to grab this dragon by the tail and hold on for the ride as much as it might screw with me.
Sorry, just needed to kinda vent that shit and I know someone has had a similar experience.

LOL, I love the way you describe these people. Fucking hilarious! You are quite the writer my friend.

Last night it felt like things were getting a little crazy for me, but not as bad as your friends sound. I met these kids who were drunk and on acid at my friend's bachelor party. He's getting married tomorrow. It was a bachelor party on LSD and DMT basically, pretty unconventional. One of these kids chugged a whole tall glass of ayahuasca. They were fucking tripping nuts! Actually, I believe the way one of them put it was "I'm tripping styrofoam and plastic!" I threw up 3 times from the ayahuasca, but afterwards I was in heaven all night. I didn't have any acid though. Crazy times. I just showed up and they were like here you go, here's some drugs.

That's kinda freaky. And I would even venture to say that these are the kind of people that should just simply not be doing drugs. People that are just trying to find love and happiness and maturity in drugs, when they are looking in the wrong place for these things. I mean, I don't really know what you could do about this type of thing.. it just seems like when you have someone that's that big of a twat for no reason.. they should just not be doing drugs. Sorry if I'm ranting.. watching TV and typing at the same time. People like that I would just want to punch in the head that are just assholes for no reason, and then when they take drugs it makes it even worse.

drugs are a bet with ur mind, so naturaly, some people lose.

[growitandsmokeit]

I feel the same way too some times to even be asking these questions I would say you are pretty level headed. I used to think I was pretty bad drug wise but I have met a lot of people who hae probably done the amount of drugs I have done over 10 years in the space of two months. You just have to do them in moderation and not let them take them over your life.

[Mr Greenthumb]

Or you could let it take over your life. For me, the high is the most wonderful thing in the world and i love it so much! Just thinking about inhailing the smoke or chompin down on the mushrooms makes me feel all tingly.

My every day life is always based around getting high one way or another and i like it that way. Some could say that makes me an addict but i don't view it like that.

[Trichocereus Panza]

^I guess that's okay, for a certain period of your life. But once you try going without for a while you feel awesome. Especially weed. Try psychedelics in moderation some time, without marijuana, you won't be disappointed. Life is a trip in itself.

[lateralus]

To answer your question, yes. For awhile, I'd try to get anything I could get my hands on, and many of my friendships were based around the fact that we shared a mutual friend (this or that intoxicant). Half of my family (as well as everyone else's) are some sort of drug addicts, and I've hung out at this house full of tweakers and that - come to think of it, the people in my girlfriend's house are all tweakers (except for her). They come and they go, and her mom (and stepdad) is somewhat of a pushover, so they're always letting people stay.

There was a time that I had exactly two friends, and *every* time we gathered, we'd drink forties and / or chief some weed. That's what our friendship was. We'd drink and bitch about how our life sucked and corruption and make fun of the tweakers trying to contact the aliens in the next room with their radio (true story). One of those friends went on to be my current girlfriend, and go figure, we don't drink or smoke weed at all anymore. We're trying to clear our heads for the moment, and get our shit in order. I'm glad we were able to do this, because when we first got together, I truly didn't think the relationship would last without drugs.

I think ure complaining about nothing in particular, the kid punched the tree not you, if he's being rude, don't give him a ride, and don't talk to him, if shit turns nasty then unless the bastard kills you, you'll still walk away with it and a new story. Everybodies fucked up, inebriated or not, just when people are fucked they tend to tell u there thoughts a lot more, thats what makes talking with others so funny, especially in combination with drugs. Those events tho odd, aren't that bad, they're not threatening you, they're slightly rude, and they like drugs, shit, doesn't sound like every other fucking party goer in the western world does it? You gonna get some funny stories, just like every1 has funny stories of going out, thats why you do it, if you want to analyse the actions you and ure friends take on a night out as a defining moment in his/her life which will leave them more or less susceptible to particular lifestyles in the future, then you gonna be fucked up whatever ure situation, cuz you aint gonna know for sure and you'll keep second guessing, tying ure head in knots. So what if they're fucked up, you don't like em don't hang out with them, or why you even gotta make a decision on it, all it is is who ure spending a few inebriated hours with each night, its really gonna take ure life over that much? Don't like sitting around doing the same old shit every weekend, with the same people, then get a job, save ure money and travel, u'll find the problem isn't the drugs, just monotony.

Pretty insightful. To tell you the truth, I was going to ask why the thread poster was mad at the druggy in the first place, but I forgot.
