Have you ever had any experiences of being judged by other drug users for your drug or medication of choice?

Right now on another forum I am getting harassed over my use of benzos for acute panic attacks. I dont even use them all the time and use them as needed during acute episodes of anxiety, especially when I am given a high dose of prednisone to reduce inflammation related to Crohns or to help me sleep on opiates.

This guy is just flipping out acting like a real asshole telling me how I am going to get addicted or die because my breathing will stop if I combine it with opiates at low doses used for pain management. Its really annoying. I guess this guy is some kind of purist though. Only natural opiates and Kratom and psychedelics for him, and totally judging me and putting me down when I asked a simple question about whether it was safe to combine them.

Why are people such hypocritical assholes?
 
I agree with you, I've had it happen to me many times. It's just how society is and what is considered socially acceptable. Shooting up, smoking off foil, and snorting substances is looked at differently then say smoking pot or even popping pills. You understand what I'm trying to get at?
 
Sober people who are addicted to whatever, (video games, porn/sex, gambling, etc.) look at people who drink poorly. Those who drink look at pot-smokers poorly, because pot is a drug and "alcohol is not". (even though it is..). Pot smokers look at pill-poppers poorly, whether it be ecstasy, stimulants, or opiates, because weed isn't really a drug, it's all natural right? Those pill-poppers look at crack, meth, and heroin users because they're DOC isn't as addicting and isn't such a "hard-drug".

If we just look at it from a different perspective, everyone judges everyone. So who gives a fuck if someone judges you, you can judge them right back with something else. Don't take it personally, people in general are that way, nothing ever gonna change that.
 
My best mate does weed occasionally & absolutely hates my recreational use of ecstasy. And I guess I look at pot smokers in a similar way.

As JS said, everyone judges everyone, so who gives a fuck?! And besides, it's only someone on the internet, it's not like they do or ever will have any impact on your life so why get strung up about it?

Hope that helped. :)
 
I was actually told to leave a crack house once because I wanted to do some smack.

I LoL'ed.
 
I've not encountered this too much. Even among my exclusively pot-smoking friends, they tend not to judge others too much, even for shooting up. This isn't to say they aren't worried. The judgmental environment just isn't that prevalent in New England.
 
idk, it sounds like he wants to help you. I mean, it doesn't really make sense to judge people on here... lol, I mean you see people all the time posting about every kind of drug. Or maybe you said something that got him mad? It sounds like there's more to this and it doesn't really sound like he's "judging" you.

Anyways.. yeah I don't really care if people judge me. Yeah, I mean I don't go around telling everyone, I USE DRUGS!, but if someone asks me about it I'm not afraid to tell them. I'm not ashamed of it. I like it when people bring it up cuz then I can argue to how drugs are awesome and how the media lies to us. I am just a normal person, but I like doing drugs.
 
I talked to him since then and he actually wrote me a very kind note and offered to help me investigate some alternative treatments for me....that was pretty cool, so I forgave him. Also, my own response might have been a little agro at the time.

Still, he wasnt very mellow or easy going about it. I felt like I was being judged and attacked rather than being given a compassionate suggestion. I think we came to an understanding though.
 
I know pot heads and e-tards that think I'm scum for using addicting drugs like coke, heroin and LSD LOL

Click to expand...

yeah, I've heard people like that. It's stupid cuc it's like... okay you're using a drug, why can't I use my own choice of drug??
Especially when most of the time they don't even know what lsd does.
 
yeah i get that shit all the time for my benzo consumption from people who have NO IDEA what theyre talking about... they say "yeah, everyones stresssed, or everyone has sleeping problems" and dismiss your problems as minimal... i get this a lot

even worse.. i know cocaine users who tell me i should stop taking 2Cx's and LSD ... WTF look in the mirror!!!!
 
I've gotten this a lot, people always seem to get on their high horse about one drug or another - I've had it about meth, heroin, dxm, and even a heroin user telling me doing codeine cwe's was 'dirty' and scummy, haha.
 
Yeah its happened to me a lot over the years, just as bad as non users judging me. People talking shit about 'ice' who have no problems doing 'speed', people who think mushies are ok but acid is fucked. Purist weed smokers who look down on chems, the list goes on. It really is shitty that drug users cant all be united by the realisation we enjoy altering our consciousness and should be free to do so in whatever way with whatever substances we choose.
 
Yeahh happens to me alot, heaps of my friends just smoke bud so when I pop a pill or drop some acid they get all pissy and tell me how i'm gonna get brain damage. It pisses me off.
 
Yeah used to get that shit from potheads all the time for my indiscriminate drug consumption, funnily enough cokey mates always used to give me shit for being a massive stoner saying "that shit'll wrecck your brain" LMAO

Most people would know better than to get me started on one of ranty and yawn inducing lectures so just STFU. :D

Did have a funny bit of reverse judgement the other week from my mate who knocks out brown who wanted me to know he didnt touch it himself, I said that I wouldnt give a shit if he did.
 
A lot of people I hang around with have a problem with ketamine, despite themselves taking pills, and coke if it's going. They say, "ugh, that's disgusting, it's a drug for horses!" But it's not as it smells like horses or has any animal qualities itself. The bzp their pills are laced with, I once pointed out, was originally designed to worm cattle.

Horses are more graceful than cattle, surely. Unless they've hit the ket again!
 
I guess it's just different attitudes and taboos. I wouldn't, at this stage in my life anyway, be prepared to take heroin, but I understand and, in some cases, envy those who do take it. But heroin and crack, that's a veritable grand canyon for some people's mindset to jump - and the bridge across is sparse and rickity.

Comes from being kids, I would say. You start off (or I did anyway) against all drugs until slowly you are confronted by some, then a lot, and intellectual gates become unlocked, you adjust yourself to the idea that not all drugs are bad; that this drug, that drug and those drugs are fine, but these drugs are still off limits and, moreover, anyone who does them is a loser. Hypocrisy, yes, but it's just a case of how many gates a person has unlocked, I think.
