Drugs in the workplace (Merged)

[SirTophamHat]

The first job I ever got high at was a state park job. I was 18-19 at the time, and still very conscientious of my drug use. I'd only blaze joints (no evidence afterwards) and only on rainy days when no one else showed up. I got high maybe two or three times at that job, nothing special.

One of my more recent gigs was way more awesome. 3rd shift front desk at a pretty nice hotel. A few months into it, I got my buddy a job as the 3rd shift "houseman" and he took care of the shuttle van and trash. Having him as the only other employee on the property allowed me to get really high, all throughout the night. For about half a year we blazed on the hour from 11 to 7. We eventually stopped blazing during work because it was costing us too much money and skyrocketing our tolerances. Every so often I'd have my guy roll through and we'd do some bags or dillies. Usually bags. I threw up in the lobby bathroom and in the bushes out front so many times, I can still remember that nasty monster energy drink laced vomit. It was awesome. Combined with free internet access and a giant flat screen television (usually tuned to CN) it was great. I quit that job because the bosses were cunts who didn't have a neuron between the three of them, sadly. I'd piss in their gas tanks given the chance :D Part of why I didn't give a fuck about being pinned out all the time on their dollar...

verso, your kpin story about the prof rings so true with me. On one of my proudest oxy/kpin binges I sent all sorts of facebook messages to the hottest chicks in my major at school and woke up to new facebook pals. Girls I didn't have any social history with at all. I can remember crafting the messages, but for the life of me have NO idea what I ever said. Must not have been horrible, but it was probably brutally honest and something like "You are so so so so hot. I never talk to you because I am intimidated by your vagina. Be my facebook friend?" Hahaha. Benzos.

I go to work on various stimulants all the time, as they help me work, and deal with customers in an enthused manner. I used to get stoned before work, but i would just get tired and paranoid.

Although on one occasion, i had stayed up for three days, and i was talking to an imaginary customer (im not joking in the least bit). I didn't get fired, because they just thought i was wierd rather than binging on meth.

Haha thats hilarious. Ive never seen meth here in maryland but i tried it 3 times when i lived in colorado since its big out there.. pretty fun but i cant imagine staying up more then one extra day at a time haha

I came into work today for the fourth day in a row high on heroin.. its getting to where pretty much all my coworkers can tell im high which is really bad but none of yhe big bosses have said anything which is more important ... i need to cool out though or they probably will soon :/

I've worked at this banquet hall/catering place since I was 13 years old. Considering I've been there so long and that it's (usually) not doing anything with customers I've been under the influence of many drugs at work.

I can't remember the last time I went to work without blazing before hand. Gone there on oxy and dope and coke. Have blown lines of oxy and dope and coke there. Have shot up dope in the bathroom. Took adderall a lot, some benzo's here and there, got drunk while there a few times. Been there on acid a few times too %). Actually had a fucking great night while working on acid, where the cooks and a few other people made kind of a big deal about how on top of things I had been that night. Everything just flowed so well and I was dominating whatever section I worked in. Have been there on ecstasy as well.

I also mow the lawn at this banquet hall, and I've mowed the lawn there on acid, on ecstasy, on heroin, on oxy, on adderall, and while high on weed. Me and that lawn have had some magical moments. Course I've also mowed it while WDing from heroin on the hottest day of the summer in 2006. That was awful. I've never felt so uncomfortably hot.


While I've used a lot of drugs there or been under the influence of drugs many, many times there haven't been too many instances where it's proven to be a bad idea (knock on wood). Possibly the worst time that comes to mind is the third time I ever IVed heroin. This was when I didn't know how to IV, my friend would shoot me up, but the previous two times the bags had only been so/so. This time however we actually had good bags. I knew I was really fucked up when I went in, but I had noooo idea that I could and would nod like I did. Figured that I would be able to keep it together once I started going. Figured that wrong. 8) This was when I first realized the power of IVing. Knowing I was totally fucked, I tried to do things away from other people until I wasn't as high anymore. I remember I started to sweep up the back room and I bent down to sweep the dirt/dust into the dustpan, except I completely nodded out while bending over to pick up the dustpan. I'm not sure how long I nodded out for, but I remember coming to and being really worried that someone had seen me standing there, bent over, motionless for several minutes.

I don't remember most of the night. I know we got a break at one point where we all get to sit down for a few minutes and eat what is left from the buffet/dinner. I had gone to put some ziti on my plate and I nodded out holding the serving spoon in my hand. One of the cooks could tell what was up and was trying to get me to snap out of it before someone else noticed. While we were on break one of the waitresses was saying I didn't look so good, can't remember how I responded. I'm sure my voice sounded as if I was fucked up. I then nodded out while on the break, except my shoe had somehow fallen off during this process. I didn't notice it when I first came to until I started walking and noticed I was uneven. 8(

At that point I asked to leave because "I wasn't feeling too well". Which was actually the exact opposite. I was feeling good, just feeling too good. Throwing up because I was so high and coming out of the bathroom all sweaty was the clincher, and they let me leave. However, I had to go back after the job to help change the banquet room over for a morning job, so I only got to leave for about 2 hours to get my shit together. Got my balls broken quite a bit after that night by some of my co-workers because it was blatantly obvious how out of it I had been.

Driving when high = NOT RESPONSIBLE!!!!!!

Anyway, sometimes I have caffeine before work, but that doesn't really count in this thread I'm presuming. So yeah, I'm always sober at work. Unless you were on something like Adderall or something, why go to work high?! I kind of feel like it's a waste of the drug too, to just use it at work, when you have to pretend to be sober.

 

[Carl Landrover]

^
I'm guessing you've never done heroin.


Drugs are about experiencing different things, different feelings, different states of mind. I've been to work sober, so it's kind of interesting to see what work is like on *insert drug name*. It obviously is also going to depend what kind of work you're doing and what kind of job you have.

I worked as an aide at a physical therapy place before. I definitely wasn't shooting dope or blowing coke there. I may have taken small doses of adderall and caffeine, but that was pretty much it.

 

[verso]

^ If anyone else here ever meets you, man, they're going to be as surprised as I was; you're so, so quiet and polite. I just have a real hard time imagining you consuming all of those different drugs and doing all of those different things. We've got to hang out soon. lol

I've never went to work under the influence, excepting a bit of H for breakfast when I was still heavily addicted. I need my brain to function, otherwise I'd be way too slow, and that could cost me dearly, as I have deadlines to keep.

However, there have been times when I started a new bag in the morning and the stuff was way better than last night, so I sometimes ended up nodding off in front of my PC. Not cool at all, but I have the best boss anybody could wish for, so I blamed it on not having slept that night. Luckily, he bought it.

Being high at work isn't the problem in my case, it's when I'm in withdrawal and HAVE to finish a project I run into trouble. I soon learned that it's essential to keep some bupe around.

back when I was 16 I smoked salvia at work. I had never done it before and we were on break and my buddy just broke out his little bubbler and we all smoked a bowl of salvia. It was pretty intense, I just remember laughing hysterically. At that same job, i remember smoking once (back in highschool when i would get baked out of my mind) and going to work (it was my first week) and my boss would always give me all the direction of what to do for the whole day at once. So after him talking for half an hour and asking me if I had any questions, I wanted to say "yeah can you repeat that entire thing I have no idea what's going on" but I didn't and then did everything wrong and almost got fired. I didn't come to work stoned that often after that, plus I worked with a lot of heavy power tools and saws and shit so it probably wasn't the best idea.

 

[hthr007]

I went to my retail job once (I was a cashier) on benzos and when I first started using opiates. I told my assistant manger that I loved her, how I was going to call the district manager and tell him how awesome she was, was too chatty and giggly with the customers, etc...

All the employees and customers seemed to like me better high, that job made me miserable haha.

Salvia. + power tools sounds like the worst combination in the world haha

Actually salvia + anything sounds like the worst combinatio. In the world i hate that stuff -_____-

I used to work for a large retail BookStore chain... I had just gotten my klonopin script... let's just say I took a little bit more than the prescribed dosage... it wasn't exactly smart of me but there... you try looking for that blue book that was on the 2nd table 3 weeks ago with a "P" in the author's last name on Bookmaster... ho - ly fucccccck.

And we got a whole bunch of people who didn't speak English (tourists) buying a bunch of NOVELS in ENGLISH... Like, are you taking them back to burn for warmth or something??? don't get me wrong, I've bought some books in Japanese and shit but... I did it online...

everyone in that fuckin store was drunk or high or both... if not, they were just fucking antisocial book nerds... I was (am?) both :D

 

[Rabidrabbit]

one time i was reaaallly baked and was hungry so i stole a canyvay from this fridge behind the pool and got fired for that kiiik

Does anyone have any idea what a canyvay might be???

One of the main reasons that I don't like to use at work is because I can't chainsmoke cigarettes then, which is what I like to do whilst on opiates. But now when I'm high at work I work so hard that my boss constantly tells me to take a break, do I get to smoke a lot, thus making getting high at work worth it. Opiates are very stimulating to me, especially in moderate doses, so I work harder on them than if I was on any kind of stimulant.

I'm a salesman and I regularly smoke and IV dope with the owner of my company, every single one of our employees does drugs and I've done PCP with my supervisor.

I used to go into a call center sales job on oxy but could never do sales in person on anything.. is yours over the phone or an in person store/door-to-door type gig?

Actually i had these 3 door to door salesmen in my neighborhood about a month ago and if they werent on opiates they at least did drugs thats for sure. Lol they were the worst salesmeb in the world right in front of me they were talking about using the fact i told them that we have a homeowners association to lie to my neighbors and tell them that the association mandated their doing appraisal's for siding (which they got paid just for setting the appraissl up)
