Drugs in the workplace (Merged)

Yes, morphine and ketamine is for battle wounds, 68W is combat medic. Weed is taken seriously in all branches, you can get kicked out, if they want too make an example. That's why I stay away from it as much as I can.

I work for a family owned compounding pharmacy, and have worked for several pharmacies over the last 5 years, and can say without a doubt that people who work for independent pharmacies use a LOT of pharmaceuticals, pretty liberally. In major retail pharmacies (Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, etc.) not nearly as much, as the companies all have pretty strict policies, require periodic drug testing, etc... but the mom and pop places all have their addicts.
 
Does your stream of work(job) have a lot of drug users?

So, I play the drums, and would consider myself a musician. The people I hang out with(other musicians) are as into drugs as I am. I've met many artists into drugs; and recently many professional/passionate gamers(COD,CS,DOTA) who are way into drugs as well, infact they're the largest drug community in my city.

What about your job?, drugs involved?
 
I work in a restaurant. We're loaded (no pun intended) with drug users. I find that at pretty much any restaurant you'll find people who use drugs, especially back of house workers and "those" servers. Working in the service industry gets you a lot of connects, in my experience.
 
I work in retail. There are a lot of pot smokers and a few of us dabble in other drugs. Myself and one other person like to do pills and opiates.
 
I've worked a number of jobs.
- My first job was at a gas station...drug use was extremely common.
- My next job was at a restaurant, drug use was common but nothing crazy. I did make my first good pill connect there, which began my run with opiates.
- I worked as a cell phone sales rep...not too many drugs going around.
- I worked as a Math tutor. I was the only drug user. I'm sure if I had come out and said I banged smack everyday it would've been awkward as all hell.
- Landscaping...some drugs. Mostly weed, but some others too.
- Office...no drugs really, some pot here and there.

I am in school to become a doctor. Believe it or not, there are A LOT of crooked docs out there and I'm starting to think drug use is semi-common in the medical industry.
 
The lore goes that medicine follows an 80/20 rule. 80 percent never touched drugs, never will. 20 percent touch them all the time.
 
One of my part-time jobs is as a cashier. I used to go to work on adderall all the time. Made me enjoy the 10-hour shift.
 
I currently work in a hotel.
85% of the employees are stoners. There's just something about dealing with the general public that makes you feel compelled to roll up a fatty.

Telemarketing... one time I was so banged out from dope that I fell out of my chair... so my manager gave me some crack to wake me up
Click to expand...

Truth right here. I did the telemarketing gig for about 6 months. During those six months, I was one of four people that was 'full time' for that whole period. Of said four, three of us were active, daily IV drug addicts (both heroin and coke, though I leaned almost entirely towards dope and another fellow leaned almost entirely towards coke).

So many days where the three of us would take an early lunch together, not be able to pick up/fix in the alloted time, show up late, then fight each other for first access to the restroom. Twenty minutes later, we're either slurring our speech on the phones, or talking too damn fast to be comprehensible. Saw co-workers just lay there head down and go to sleep more than once, nod out at the desk mid-conversation, walk out of the rest room with a tissue on the crook of their arm, etc.

We were the top three sales people every week, as long as we sold, the management didn't give a flying fuck what we did. Looking back, I'm REALLY surprised at what management put up with... but I must admit, it was one of the most enjoyable jobs I'd ever had... for the first few months, at least...
 
i'm a landscaper, and i'm stoned all day everyday. it's pretty common in the industry. cut grass, smoke grass, cut some more grass, smoke some more grass. i love it.
 
I've only had one real job (I'm only 18) and I was a busboy at a local restaurant. I went in every day stoned as hell except for like one day where I went in on adderall and was literally running around the restaurant. My boss had to ask me to slow down because I was working so fast and he worried I might fall.

@ Tuskface, damn, that must have been one hell of a telemarketing job. I could never imagine it to be exciting but from your experiences, it could be the most exciting, hilarious thing ever. If I worked in a situation like that, I'd probably just be stoned the entire time laughing at you guys, if I hadn't decided to go on a sobriety break for the next few years.
 
It's not exactly telemarketing but telefundraising, and yes, there is a difference between the two; anyway, I am in this line of work now, and it sucks. I guess it's not that bad because not too many people are all that creative in their insults, but every now and again I'll think that I've got a sweet old woman or a quiet old man on the phone and then they'll say something so cold and so mean that I want to shrink into my chair and disappear. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

I don't think that too many of my coworkers are down with getting high, be it cannabis or any other substance, really. I mean, there are maybe two kids my age who might smoke a little bit of weed, but that's it, and I've never seen them come in to work high, at least not noticeably so.

I, on the other hand, like to show up for work with my pupils looking like pin points! It just makes the time go by so, so much quicker. ;)
 
Verso is right, it was definitely telefundraising... we were the fundraising branch of a regional "non-profit" agency. The "non-profit" was in name only and was accomplished through shady accounting practices beyond measure... Put it this way, shortly before I quit, I was being considered for management of another office about two hours away, and I was let in on the fact that $0.06 of every dollar that we raised actually went towards the cause advertized. When asked "how much of this actually goes to cause XX" we were trained to tell customers (and, again, through shady accounting and legal loopholes, the lawyers had found away to make this statement "technically true") "fifty cents on the dollar" but that fifty cents was on the dollars left after rent, utilities, salaries, advertizing, mailing costs, and whatever the hell else was paid for.

Very, very rarely were we harassed or insulted (the "cause" we were raising money for is pretty universally acknowledged as necessary and good, and we had tie ins with orphan organizations to boot). The biggest drawback was the repetition and monotony. And the pressure to "collect" was pretty high too (saw SO MANY people come and go in six months. highest turn over job I've ever had).

But all in all, it was a fun job while it lasted. The three of us who were addicts became fast friends--and they were both good guys for the most part, we had a lot in common besides drug dependence-- so the office environment was enjoyable, I was high every day, most nights we'd go out to a bar after work and get shit faced, sleep til 2pm the next afternoon, wash rinse repeat.
 
I work as a Criminal defence barrister's clerk. The amount of cocaine is unbelievable. Until a few years ago there was a situation of certain clerk's racking up lines on their desks all day every day.
 
tree service industry .....wow .....alcohol ,opiates weed ...its QUICK MONEY and the crack!!!!

I HATED SEEING PEOPLE HIGH(on any downer) WHILE RUNNING CHAINSSAWS,or 100ft up in the tree

fucked up one time and sold my uncle some of those banana flavored kpins i ordered ,most of his crew(for that day anyway) just walked off the job site just so they wouildnt witness what he was about to TRY,to get the job done quicker ,needles to say he didnt even remember the whole day thank god he didnt kill himself or anybody

also wondering why this one crews climber kept stopping for like 3- 5 min moving to get a look and seeing him hitting a huge ass crack pipe ,i was like HOLY SHIT the home owner was on his way over to wqatch him climb i had to quickly act like i had to use his bathroom

anyway i just assume anybody i work with that isnt my normal crew is on somthing ,and im usually right
 
other than methadone just to stay well ,and it makes me so angry that nobody believes me i have never deliberatly gotten high during a work day ,one time i got this dope and i swear i couldnt get a rush ,i couldnt get high ....did the whole fucking G ,GET THIS SHIT ...go to sleep not high ,wake up COMPLETELY fucked up ,woke up at 5am ,was nodding out till a lil after noon ,can anybody explain that to me.......the latino guys had to keep waking me OUT of the nod all day i was so embarrised cuz i preach all day about not doing tree work on downers

the other i think i was a inch away from OD'n basically i went out HARD right in the middle of my floor that was at like 8pm woke up at 5am from dad BEATING door down felt like i was hit by a truck and had the worse fucking flu ever.....felt normal after like 4-5 hours and aleve
 
I work in retail. Some good dealers are coworkers, I'm too shy to talk to some people about stuff but the guys I'm friends with are loaded all the time.
I think a conclusion we can draw is working class people like drugs. Go figure.
 
goddamn. How little things have changed in the 5 years since this thread began, both in society and personally. Thanks to Obama, my educated ass is right back in the restaurant industry for now. I work at a really nice restaurant, and every single waiter is a hardcore stoner, just like back then, but the difference is that I'm the only daily hard drug user. As far as hook ups go, back then around 2003-2005 there was a hook up for everything at a restaurant. Now, there's only bud. And that's the way it is everywhere now, so I hear. Lots of bud sprinkled with the occasional coke "dealer" or guy who got into a bike accident and is now a kingpin dealer of really bad hydrocodone for at least the next two weeks.

Is this the kind of change we wanted when we voted for Obama? No! High quality Vicodins and big bars of xanax used to be spilling out all manner of containers and corners, sometimes being flushed down the toilet in large quantities due to there not being enough room for restaurant inventory. OC's were everywhere. Now, the most basic pill high is priced as though it's made of hand jobs by Kim Kardashian. Please, everyone - round of applause for Obama. Yes, the president who appreciates quality drugs and is also black, thereby giving us the false impression that we would all be buzzing hard and riding spinners made of platinum by now. So many lies!
