drug friends vs real driends?

So the friends you've met because of/through drugs care more than the friends you met through other means?
Take them as they are. As for how serious, that's dependent on how seriously you take shit.
 
I have both of course, and I think its important to always keep both. It does sadden me knowing some of those drug friends are only around due to the drugs. But I do know that some of my drug friends are legit. Then there are ones I know dont have a shed of genuine in them.:p

I hope that when we distance from substances whenever that happens we dont distance from eachother. I think I have been really lucky to get into the circle I am in. Because I know for a fact the circles around these substances could be the complete opposite.
 
i'm guessing that you're referring to the ambiguous nature of people that buy drugs from you?
you mean, are they friends or clients?
it's sort of hard to tell with the OP's complete lack of punctuation and grammar.
 
Drug friends and friends - people are all the same really, good and bad eggs in each basket. I can tell you that a lot of my "normal friends" have been anything but normal! I've had some really shitty drug friends, but I've had some pathetic "normal friends" at one stage or another also.

People use and manipulate other people for all sorts of reasons, not just drugs. It's simply a case of good friends vs. bad friends really..
 
I love my real driends!!

There are a lot of people who love drugs and will hang around people who use drugs, to have druggie company. However, people who use drugs with you are not necessarily just drug associates. It really has to be upto you on how you decide whether a friend is real or not. It's usually fairly obvious.
 
Most of my close friends are into drugs, my best mate has only ever tried weed a few times but in general has higher priorities in his life than exploring the world of drugs. My friends that are against drugs, I simply don't talk to them about it, I get so heated in arguments about drugs because 90% of the time the person I'm arguing with hasn't even done a fucking google search on the topic and base their argument on mindless propaganda and rumours.


Though, All in all, I'm proud to say that my friends (drug takers or not) would always have my back if I needed them and vice versa. Why social drug use should be an issue in a friendship/relationship is beyond me... :p
 
yeah...i am in the fortunate position where i only associate with friends - people i like - whether it is for drugs or not.
don't have patience for assholes.
 
drug friends can be real friends. and Real friends can turn out to be fake friends :)

just because you met them thru the use of substances doesn't mean they can't become real friends.

Easyest way to tell if they are real friend or not is
A: can you depend on them for any reason and also in reverse can they depend on you if ever they needed your help???
B: when the drugs are gone in the sense of either you or the friend decides to stop using substances, would you still remain in contact and catch up every so often?

Maybe this is also a really good question to ask your self. Are you a drug friend to your mates, or are you a sincerely good friend?

i've made plenty of friends thru drugs through out the years, some we remain good friends til this day even though they have moved on in their life and no longer indulges substances. Some decides to quit drugs and becomes a big anti-drug wanker whos thinks they are much better than the rest of us because they stopped taking drugs.
 
All my current friends use illegal drugs. We don't always use illegal drugs when we get together but quite often we do. It's not as though the only times I see them are when we are taking drugs
Taking drugs is something that we all enjoy and do for fun just like going to the pub or going out for lunch.

I see drug friends in a similar way to your sporting friends, fishing buddy, rock climbing partner or similar. Maybe you only see them when you are playing sport or at training but you are still friends.

The same way most of my friends have the same taste in music, are around the same age, class and have similar ideals.

I would still be friends with someone who does not use drugs and my friends would be my friend if I stopped using.

That said there are some people who use you to get them drugs or where the relationship is unequal. I would not consider that a drug friend or friend.

Well said. Also keep in mind that sometimes if someone quits then they feel they need to avoid anyone who still uses to help prevent relapse, so it doesn't always mean they were never a true friend :)
 
yeb yeb. i agree with your point there too bro.

i know if i was to quit drugs, i'd have to stop hanging out with the friends that does drugs cuz its just way too much temptation to relapse. for the first few months anyways.
 
I have wondered this myself at one stage. Real friends will stay, drug friends come and go most of the times. Only one thing usually bonds both of u together. Sad but true.
 
Interesting topic and one that plays on my mind a lot these days.
I'm still fairly young and I joined a group of friends who sort of introduced me (I started using and then quickly found my new friends) to using drugs and I think some of my friendships are stronger than others but I'd say most of my "drug friends" are people I'll know for the rest of my life. But I have a group of friends who are also a bunch of really intelligent people, and we love to party but almost all of us attend university, work full times and most of us you wouldn't know if we were a drug user if we bothered to use eye drops, or in my case if I didn't dress in like I were constantly at a doof.
 
I raved weekly for three years in the late nineties and met hundreds of incredible people in that time. I used to be able to hit a club or a rave on my own and still have a crazy night cause i knew half the people in the scene (seriously, not bragging). But now, in 2011 I am only still close friends with one of the people i met in that time! Although i should say that he is my soul mate friend (and it turned out we had already met as teenagers many years before too - it was meant to be) the one person i am closest to in the world.

It is easy to mistake true friendship for drug friendship in my opinion. Anyone can be best friends with a stranger given the right drugs. I would give anything to know how they all ended up and where they are now though. The wonders of MDMA, we all know it, the whole talking codshit to strangers thing, and breaking down the barriers. I think i would agree that the true sign is whether you see eachother when sober and have just as good communication as when on drugs.

Although perhaps at the end of the day it doesn't matter? Either way you are still connecting with these people, and as long as you don't lose all you're straight friends and/or family, why not just talk shit regularly?
 
I don't know. I don't really have many friends, however people who have not cracked their head open are quite hard to communicate with for me - I prefer the life of the lone deranger. Too many people I know are uninterested in not only drugs but doing anything at all! I work full time but I still do something every weekend; beach, road trips, heck even interstate travel but the main problem is nobody ever wants to do anything. It is best to do it -alone-

The world is an insane place that does not make sense, so you might as well become insane and stop making sense too~
 
I don't have a lot of friends. To be honest, I'm rather isolated in fact. Most of the friends I have use drugs, but most of them I have known since before then. So for us, there isn't any distinction between being friends and 'drug friends'; to us, we are just a group of guys who happen to enjoy recreational substances.

I have had experiences with 'drug friends' though; people who I had to get along with in order to get stuff. Luckily I don't have to do this anymore, but back in the day I hated having to meet with dodgy crowds in order to get anything. If it wasn't for the drugs, we wouldn't have been friends in the first place.

Then again, I suppose you could apply that idea to a lot of things. Work friends, friends you only meet once in a while for a common interest, etc...
 
^ that's a good point (work friends = friends of necessity).
some of us are lucky to have these sorts of relationships with people we genuinely like...but i think the 'drug friends' (people you only associate with to score) problem is negated by those of us that indulge in semi-legal substances.
by that i mean things like OTC drugs (ie codeine) or PST.
i guess 'homegrown' (of whatever variety) also sort of fits into this category.

sometimes the accessibility of my most frequently used drug/s of choice (aforementioned opiates) bothers me, as supply is limited by my own self discipline, more or less.
this is preferable to being at the mercy of manipulative or greedy drug dealers though.
i'm really thankful that i don't have to grapple with the question of drug friends / real friends. the power relations in the addiction/need/supply equation are really quite frightening. quasi-legal opiates are both a curse and a glorious thing.
