Let me make this clear.
Yes this does elude to a certain post.
So you like to do drugs?
Good for you.
No, really I mean it. Life is all about finding out what makes you happy and sticking with it. Of course there's a catch, there always is. It's not cool to do whatever you want when you begin to fuck with other peoples contentment. This includes but is not limited to being selfish, manipulative, and hurtful to people who are your friends and family.
You're probably saying to yourself that I have no idea what it's like.
You're wrong.
I've been in the thick of it and done my share of drugs, along with his share and your share. I've seen a lot of fucked up things.
For example:
A few years back I had a friend named Jason. He was might you describe as a "gentle giant" kind of guy. Then he got involved too heavily in steroids, painkillers and muscle- relaxers. At his peak Jason was probably about 6'5" and close to 300 lbs., he is only one of two people I've ever seen actually lift a car off the ground. Of course the steroids were responsible for a lot of this, and he started to turn into a real asshole. There were numerous holes in the walls of the apartment he shared with his girlfriend, and two of the windows of his car were shattered out by him.
One day me and four other people were coming over to hang out with him and we found him lying motionless in an armchair, remote still in hand. He was dead. He died of a massive coronary at the age of twenty four.
I remember after the police came and he was carried off in a black plastic bag, we went through his car and house to dispose of all the drugs he had, so his family wouldn't have to find them. It was staggering the amount we found, and there were so many blue pills and green pills and so on that we didn't even know what the fuck was what.
We ultimately told his parents that steroids were probably responsible for his death. Of course they refuted this, and accused us of trying to tarnish his memory. We weren't allowed to attend the wake, or the funeral. But a month later we found out from his girlfriend that the autopsy report came back and showed he had died from Amphetamines, Cocaine, Steroids, and Muscle-relaxers. His heart physically exploded. He died almost instantly.
Of course the most tragic thing out of the whole ordeal is that his girlfriend found out she was pregnant a week or so after his wake.
It's not the only time I've seen a corpse because of drugs.
I was at a party, at the house of a co-worker, when I worked as an estimator for a landscaping company. It was a small little house on a creek in MD. So a few of us were going to go down and take a swim in the creek, when we see someone lying on the dock.
Yea you can guess the next part.
The worst part is that his friends didn't even seem to care. They all hid their E in the bushes and tried to act cool as another person died all alone. After the police left, they went right back to popping their E, knowing full well that was what killed him.
A friend of a girl I was dating named Derrick was a cokehead. I never liked him. Another friend named Tim convinced him to get in Rehab, and even got him a job at UPS, where he was a swing manager. He stayed clean for a few months, and I actually liked the guy, he could be cool when he wanted to I suppose.
Of course he relapsed, and when his mother tried to throw him out of the house he beat the shit out of her. His own mother.
I hope he rots in jail
Tim died two years ago this August. He was high on Meth, which he used occasionally to stay awake on the weekends because of his usually odd work schedule. He crashed his Mitsubishi Eclipse into a tree at high speed. He killed his new girlfriend too.
Then there was Dan. He was dating my ex girlfriend. I wrote this http://www.ubersite.com/m/59126 and this http://www.ubersite.com/m/59217 about her. He was addictied to oxycontin and dozed off at the wheel. He slammed his little Acura into a concrete overpass embankment. He put the both of them in wheelchairs. She has rods and screws all in her legs. She has a prosthetic hip, and huge scars. She was 22 when it happened. She was a selfish cunt, but even still I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
I've seen girls suck dick or get gangbanged for coke.
I've seen fistfights over who gets to buy the last couple pills of E
I've seen friends break into cars on their own street to get money for coke or meth.
When I moved down to Florida last year I came across a box as I was packing. It was full of photos. I looked through them, and at all the people and was disgusted. Here were people that were not just good friends, but great friends. Years later and they're still going to the same parties, with the same people, and doing more and more drugs. They never finished even community college. They work as electricians helpers, and landscapers. They're in their mid twenties and either live with their parents or in a tweaker apartment together with one couch and mattresses on the floor.
I threw the box away. It turns out I didn't know those people after all.
You're probably saying that if I was a good friend, that I would have helped them. Believe me I tried. I kept my nose clean, I went to school. I set a good example. I listened, and conversed with them countless times about getting their shit straight.
The truth is that only they could have turned it around.
I think back now and see how many instances there were of people doing things that if they were sober would have been completely unacceptable, but because they were fucked up they were given a pass of sorts. I know now that a lot of people continued down that path because they know that that's the case. A girl who gets high and can fuck a guy she just met because she was really fucked up, so it's not that she's just a slut. She's sorry and it won't happen again till next weekend, and we all know it.
There are a myriad of excuses that I've heard. My family life was bad. I was poor. Pick up a paper and read about how most of the world lives. Then come back to me and tell me about how your father wasn't around is the most goddamn tragic thing since the ending of Romeo and Juliet.
I should probably go back and proof read this to see if it even makes sense, but a few numbers pop into my head.
6 people I knew personally are dead as a direct result of drugs.
8 people I knew personally are either in jail or just getting out as a result of drugs.
5 people I grew up with, would I ever look up if I went back to Maryland.
It disgusts me.
I'm out

"I thought you were dead!", People used to say this to me all the time, and really mean it. These days I don't do anything, not because of some NA philosophy, but more out of ambition. I've always wanted to accomplish something great within my lifetime, to write something incredible. When I'm taking drugs, I'm too busy making up fiction to justify my drug use to see things for what they are. I'm tired of doing that.

Very well done Adam, especially the pictures(Rod Stewart song in background) and the
comments that you followed up with.
In the past few decades I have come across hundreds of individuals who have overdosed on
Heroin.
99% of them, after being administered with Narcan (by the EMT's)(to save their life), are
so pissed off that their "high", is now gone, become so combative as to force their arrest.
This jeopardizes all the: Firemen/EMT's/Law Enforcement/Family/Crowd/Etc and puts
everyone at risk.......... for what?

That could have been my story, dude. I've known people that OD'd, went to jail, fucked people up, got fucked up. A guy I used to party with recently got shot in the head trying to buy crack in the same neighborhood where I used to go to get crack. Luckily all the times I had guns pulled on me I never got shot. There were a lot of those times, but I was so fucked up I can't even count them now.
I'll never forget the time I was parked in front of the projects waiting for my friend to cop. A guy got me out of my car at gunpoint and he and his friends beat me unconscious with baseball bats. I came to and sat up to see the guy I'd taken over there driving up the street in my car. He stopped, I went home and smoked my rocks, and then I went to the hospital to get 8 stitches in my head and two pins in my broken arm.
Good times.

Ahhh badass, there's nothing quite like going backpacking for the weekend with some choice 'shrooms.
Since everybody is sharing, I always stuck to the "natural" drugs. Miss Mary Jane and the 'shroom trolls were my party buddies. My friends started into the whole rave culture after I met the man who would become my husband. E, Ket., and coke became their lives. Scoring, taking, and dealing with the after effects and trying to score again. The cycle was never ending. One of them nearly killed himself on his way back from Toronto after a rave. Flipped his car three times on the freeway. He was high at the time on some serious shit. He came home and immediately started the cycle again. I fretted, I lectured, I begged; I had spent my early years with these people. I was always, oddly enough, the voice of reason. It didn't matter to them. I lost my best friend to heroin. Another has reciently fallen off the map after he started up with the white powder again. I know now that there is nothing I can say or do to help them. And even now the thought of them still hurts.

mother - agreed it comes down to the individual. I've done most of the same stuff as the people I've met at rehab and in meetings. The difference, it just got old for me, the desire to be in that place was gone so I stopped, let it fade away. I smoke pot now, drink some beer and maybe once a year I will come across some shrooms and I'll go hiking for a few days and enjoy.

I'm going to have to agree with GLALL on the genetic makeup of a person. Some people just have a more addictive or dependant personality. Alot of the stuff that I've seen at meetings and in rehab is that most of the people with the real problems are just plain addictive type people. In NA and AA you see people just getting clean, well the pretty much roll their addiction over to coffee and cigarrettes. The addiction is still there but the tool is different. It's not until deep into rehabilitation that most users start to ween off of all addictive behavior.

Good and all, but certain drugs are fundamental in human evolution. I've had friends addicted to crack, heroin, ecstacy, and most of them are cracked out of their skulls now. I think the effects of the drugs on the person have more to do with the mental capacity of the user and their genetic make-up
=============
But don't you think it's their responsibility to know the possible reprocussions of thier drug use? Everyone knows that Crack and such are nothing but trouble for 99.99% of people who have ever tried to dance with that devil. Thinking that you can be one of those elite .01% that can beat the odds is stupid, and I don't want to hear about how tragic it is for them. Unless space aliens totally abducted you and made you live on a diet of that shit, that would be totally understandable.

Ive popped Heap loads of pills, Fuckloads of acid, coke here and there, a handfull of barbs now and again, the odd blast of crystal meth. Hashish and weed are my constant companions
I have a steady job in IT, bought my first 3 bed semi when I was 27, have a long term girlfriend and lifes good.

=====================================
Indeed.
My point was kinda along the lines that you can do whatever you want, just be careful not to fuck with other peoples lives, and don't find yourself in a hole one day and try to be all "woe is me! drugs have hurt me! It's not my fault. boo hoo hoo." I have done every drug besides crack and heroin, in copious amounts, but I still managed to graduate college and marry the woman of my dreams. I have a great job and a nice place because I was mindful of my actions. I still smoke, but I do it in moderation. I would never get high and come to work, or call out to score. Thats retarded, but I know plenty of people who would get stoned AT work, then be all "boo hoo, the man is keeping me down cause I was high at work, where they pay me to do my job"
The truth is today the corpoarte climate leans toward they don't care what you do in your spare time as long as you show up everyday and perform your job at a certain standard and capacity.

In my, evidently limited, experience people who abuse drugs (be it alcohol, heroin or whatever) are doing it for the purpose of self destruction. What gets to me is how they hurt everyone around them, people they love and care about. That shit is pretty wack, but perhaps it's the same sort of feeling, the same compulsion as that which drives men to beat their girlfreinds and stuff.
I dunno though, maybe all that's just a load of bull. I have just said that a murder, a murderer, is nothing more than an extroverted suicide. That has to be nonsense.

i used tohang around with a load of stoners and drunks at college. i don't know any of them any more. I know one dropped out to become a full time dealer, two still live in the same town but i've no idea what they do, and finally one of them went to law school.
she got in on 4 a-level points (that's low right, two Es) and had a criminal record. I don't see how they took her, unless daddy paid them to.
anyway, there we go. I dabbled a bit but never went far. didn't like it. I prefer creamcakes as my own personal "devil". cream cakes and KFC.

On the brighter side, my sister in law is married to a rehabilitated user.
He was really bad since his senior year in high school and heroin was his drug of choice. Multiple rehabs, methodone, some type of implant...all to no avail.
When my sister in law got together with him the family really hated the idea, understandably. I had a conversation with her and she said she wasn't going to leave him, she loved him and was going to try and help him out of this.
He got clean about 2 months after they got married. He is a good man, a good father and a good friend.
We hang out constantly, I keep my use of pot seperate from him.
I have recently chosen him, and my sister in law as god parents to my baby girl.
Sometimes it can work out, but the ratio is pretty poor.
Good post man. (oh yeah, heroin...the best and worst feeling I have ever experianced until fatherhood.)

funk_boy went to drug college, obviously.
Great opinion piece, Adam.
This hits the issue right on the head.
Good Job.

It started off really good. But there's comments which make me think this is not from your own experience.
I think you're insinuating you've seen someone die from taking E. I doubt this very much. It's a very rare occurance.
I find it hard to believe people have had fist fights over E also. It's about as believable as people fighting over skunk.
+1
===============================
Then you live in a fucking fairy tale, and haven't seen a bunch of people who do E every weekend at least and do 10 or 12 or 20 pills in a 48 hour period. When they're crashing, and crashing hard they'll do anything to stay up. And when you have one dude who wants to buy all of them for him and his girl but three other people want one too but can't afforsd the extra money dude #1 has to offer, then you've got trouble.
I also invite you to read up on the statistics. People die from E all the time. It might not be pure MDMA thats killing them, it might be the concotion of shit that they make the pills with, but I assure you people die all the time from it.
jees ok then.
This is why i don't believe you. I have seen many people taking pills all weekend, and they are in no fit state to have a fight, let alone want to. If there on Meth or Coke yer - but if it's just pills, then no.
i've done a massive study on the death rates of people taking E, but i'm willing to look up the latest stats. again - this is why i dont believe you.
the rest is all good though, as i said

Towlie says "Can we get High"?
==================
I'd like to point out that I do not mention the Marijuana anywhere in the above paragraphs. So yes Towlie "we can get high" but remember "Always pass that shit to the left, because the right way is wrong".

I've seen good friends fight over the last dose of E, funk_boy. It was then that I realized I didn't want any part of that particular culture. I do still wonder about them, though.

I currently know a lot of people like that too. None that died though. But frankly, I don't really care. Drug addicts just leave more cool jobs to us! :-)
Great post!

Agreed. I see people like this every day, and it is disgusting.
