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.
