do you portray a drug user image?

when I meet other people who do drugs, they're often very surprised to hear that I do. I don't look the part at all...of course, almost all of my close friends know that I use and in fact often ask me about drugs 'cause I'm considered to be knowledgeable about them or something. Crazy.

Anyways, you wouldn't be able to tell I'm a druggie by looking at me. I look like an unassuming, boring person. :/
 
Do I portray a drug user image...
Well, no, but everyone says I look like Harry Potter, and you know he's the drug dealinest E-pusher in Hogwarts.
 
Im surprised there are so many hippish people here, honestly I thought alot more of you would be g'd up from the feet up, like myself, but meh, I geuss its cultural
 
Ungloiath this boards madd white most ppl on here is some kinda hippies if u want the g'd up mutha fuckas u need to hit up the NJ threads n NS am. social thas where we all be...there and in the heroin stamps threads lol....No stress....

Since I seen u bout it wit the opiates ima give u a pass on that ol drink n shirt matching thang a while back =D
 
No. I just I dress kinda like a "prep" or whatever you wana call it. I'm not trying to hide anything, I dress the way I want and I use the drugs I want. I never really understood where the correlation between drugs and dressing in old clothes comes from I guess, lol.

What can I say but free D32's if you ever head up my neck of the woods
 
Keep in mind though, just because the average person can't tell, doesn't mean drug users can't tell. I can tell from a mile away, regardless of what your wearing, I subconciously check all that stuff nobody else really cares to.
 
We had a thread of that a while back

"REAL signs of drug use"

Fuck that red eyes and smells liek weed bullshit

How bout black resin on the bottom of ur lighter, yellow green and pink stains on the inside of your t-shirt, lots of little mini roses layin around...


Ungoliath...shit Im comin to CN!=D
 
If you know me or go to my school, i have a reputation for taking a variety of drugs and smoking weed. But i get straight A's and dont come from a a broken home or fit any of the other "stoner/burnout" stereotypes.
 
I don't think I really portray a drug user. When most people find out about my past, they look kinda shocked and usually say something like "I didn't think you'd be into that..."

I think it's funny. Because I know I've been doing drugs for almost a decade and the entire time no one has a clue unless I tell them, or if they're a user a pick up on some of my attitudes/behaviors.

i don't like to advertise my drug use (then again i'm posting on bluelight :\ )
 
Do you look like a junkie?

I live in New York City, and not a day goes by where I don't see some fucked up shit. I've become hardened to most of it - you have to - but I still get disturbed and scared and sad when I see young people - people my age (23) - strung out on drugs.

I'm still thinking about what I saw on Saturday. Taking the subway uptown, I saw a young white junkie couple on the train. They looked so smacked out, it was hard not to stare. The girl took about 5 minutes just to put on her sunglasses. They were clearly codependent on each other. They looked like they might have once been attractive, but now they seemed to be shadows of themselves. They both had decent clothes on but the girl had a backpack with cups sticking out of it and so I figured she was homeless. Their eyes were barely open.

I guess it just bothered me because of how young they were. I see strung out older people and crackheads talking to themselves a lot, but they don't stay in my mind like this couple did. Maybe it's because I know that maybe this couple was once like me - dabbling in drugs on the weekends, enjoying the high and the bliss - but that they were overcome by their addiction. Addiction - especially heroin addiction - really fuckin scares me. I don't use heroin though, more like OCs but I know that they are essentially one and the same. As my friend would say, OCs are a hop, skip, and a jump away from heroin. I just don't want to end up like that. I'm farrrrrrr from it but that's probably why I got so emotional seeing this couple on Saturday. I had to get that out. I'm just saddened by it, and I know that if I'm not careful, I could be like that too.
----------------------------------------

How can you tell if someone is on drugs, and on which drugs?
People on crack usually talk to themselves. Otherwise it's mostly in the eyes. But the main way you can tell is by how they act. Totally disoriented. For instance, my friend and I smoked a lot of weed last night. As he was leaving, he looked at himself in the mirror and said "I look like I'm on drugs. People are going to think I'm a junkie."

I know there are a lot of experimenters/users on Bluelight. Do you become concerned when you see strung out kids, or is that you? Do you worry about whether or not your use might escalate to the point where that could be you? Addiction fucking scares me man. But drugs are so great. It's a slippery slope. Tell me your thoughts. Thanks.
 
few things well up more emotion in a person than seeing something that was once beautiful destroyed. you can't help but obsess over it.

though there have been a few exceptions, most of the time i can tell if someone uses drugs (and what drugs they use) the second they open their mouth. if someone is high, i can tell far before that. unfortunately, i think i look a bit like a stoner. but that doesn't help you get anywhere in life (unless you're trying to buy drugs) and i don't think girls like it, so i make (some of) an effort not to these days.
 
Reminds me of myself of the good times i had but also the terrible things i been through

frankly i hardly looked at people but now im clean i take a bigger interest in my surroundings
 
Its hard to see stuff like that...I haven't run into it much because I live in such a small place that we don't have that.

My look and behavior seems like I use:
I don't sleep until 4am or later (earlier)
I don't eat hardly at all
I'm working on what was termed "heroin chic" but the same look comes with other drugs...
Some would assume I'm on meth or something, but I've never touched the stuff.

Its different when you see people that have been destoryed you feel sorry for them, if you see them so high out of their mind(eyes rolling back in their head, can't keep their eyes open) (I went out like that for my birthday because I'm stupid..) then you just think that they are just being stupid or something, there is less sympathy that comes with it.
 
I dont think i do anymore. There was a time when i was homeless and really strung out. It was pretty obvious that i had some kind of drug problem. I couldnt wear short sleeve shirts because of all the tracks and bruises on my arms. my eyes were either pinned and barely open, or dialated and runny.

i used to avoid mirrors everywhere i went because it made me sick to see my reflection. I think i still look like a drug user, tho it seems like most ppl think i am just a weed smoker, which is pretty much the truth besides the suboxone, but i dont tell many ppl about that....simply because most ppl dont understand.
plus it made me lose weight so my cheeks and face were kind of sunken in. i looked weak and fragile.
 
it really stresses me out to know how easily i'd slip into addiction (not opiates, those are boring as fuck) if i don't burden myself with responsibilities to remove myself from constantly abusing drugs.

it's like this.. bizarre, inherent nihilistic urge to scream out FUCK IT and withdraw into some kind of junkie existence. but no, i work a job that i hate... and read books that bore me... and exercise... and work on my car... and fuck around on bluelight.

i guess you could call sobriety a reason for me to do all that i do. i just don't wanna end up homeless and addicted to drugs when i know i'm capable of more... but at the same time, i kind of envy those that don't have to deal with the responsibilities i accept every day; even if they are hopeless.
 
i havent looked like a strung out junkie around the time i was into a lot of meth as well as opiates.

im starting to treat my body like the temple it is
 
Interesting thread topic.

I definitely do not fit the stereotype of a drug user (as far as looks go anyway). I think that most people are pretty shocked when they find out that I have used drugs at all, maybe they are even more surprised when they see the list of drugs that I have done.

I also generally do not put myself in public situations when I am on drugs or when I am coming off of them to give people the opportunity to judge me. I have been to a few raves but other than that when I do drugs they are consumed either at home or at a friends home.

I think that I do feel pity for most if not all drug users that have been consumed by their drugs of choice. You have to think that for someone to let things go that far there must be other issues going on in their life where they feel like they need to constantly escape from reality.

No, I'm not concerned. It's their choice.
It's not me know, but it once was.
I'm not worried that it'll escalate to that point again. I figure I'm smart enough to have learned something from the ordeals I've been through.
 
I don't really see strung out homeless people unless I go to Atlanta. It doesn't really bother me seeing the types that are always asking for money, in fact it's hard not to hate them. I don't think I've ever seen a young homeless person, call me sheltered, I just live in a very rural community. I would probably be upset at such a sight though. Mainly because I've been seriously addicted to opiates and I can empathize with them about the addiction, just not the homelessness.

I look far from a junkie and most people know I've used "hardcore" drugs solely because of the fact that I live in a small town. But if a random person seen me on the street, they would not suspect that I do drugs. The only thing that remotely resembles a junkie in me is my pinpoint eyes from Suboxone. But, that's not being high, it's just feeling normal. But people don't understand, unless they are addicts themselves.
