I've been lurking bluelight for quite some time, but finally made an account just to post in this thread.
That's so true about getting angry when people call pot 'dope'. One time I was sick and couldn't find any black, so I went over to a friend's house to see if there was anyone they could call. This old guy (in his 60s I'm assuming) came out and asked what I was doing. I said I was real sick and looking for black. He replied: "Oh, I'll smoke some dope with you." and immediately the clouds parted and the angels started singing... then he pulled out a bag of weed. /rage
You know you're a junkie if...
- You dream about dope, wake up realizing it was a dream and then are so depressed that it was just a dream that you can't get out of bed
- Or you wake up not wanting to get out of bed, then realize you still have some dope from the day before. Suddenly the day is filled with possibility
- You're plan for the apocalypse: Run to the nearest pharmacy, loot it, then blast off into oblivion
- Your boyfriend has given up on you getting clean so he just lets you use
- Being on Suboxone is being clean to you
- You often wish you could just smoke pot/drink like everyone else
- The only reason you don't IV is because your veins literally are too small (Even the doctors/nurses have to spend a half hour fishing around)
- You get prescribed Klonopin or some other wonderful benzo and have to keep yourself from smiling like a loon until you're out of the doctor's office
- Going to detox/rehab is a great opportunity for new connects
- You run into old dealers/user buddies at court
- Having to take a shit is a sign that sickness is not far away
- Whenever you have to walk somewhere you secretly hope you get hit by a car for the insurance money and medication you get at the hospital.
- I used to work at a deli where we would have to make subs and for people, and one time I fell asleep during the lunch rush while making sandwiches, while the entire lobby proceeded to look onwards in disgust and concern.
- If you're a girl, you constantly use your period as an excuse to go to the bathroom frequently.
- Your pharmacist knows you well enough to front you your Suboxone script until you get paid.
- You long for the kind of nod people in this thread have wrote about
- Everything from your pants, to your counter, to your couch, etc., is covered in black marks from the back of the foil.
