Gibberings ver. CCXVIII - Itsanewdawnitsanewdayitsanewsiteformeyeah....

Plenty of time for that to change though

I thought similar. At 16 my lad was still off out playing footy etc with mates all the time

A year later he's seshing every weekend. By 18 all over the country (freeparty dj etc) partying heavily.

To be fair, him and his crew (mid 20's now) have got a miles better handle on harm reduction etc than we ever did bitd (not difficult I know

I also get the "you're too old to take drugs" on the regular from my still-teenage daughter - we'll fookin see about that..,

Yeah ironically I didn't have much of a rebel phase as a teenager, I was a boring goodie two-shoes cunt. I think I drank on like two or three occasions in sixth form but that's literally it.

Only when I went to uni did I start to experiment, so it wasn't until I was 18+ I started doing drugs which is a good thing if you think about it really.

I caught up for the lost time quick though. This is when the UK still had legal RC's so I did etizolam and basically all the other RC benzos, aMT, AL-LAD, etc before I even tried weed!

Then I ended up being mates with a group who did a lot of drugs and was introduced to all the usual shit. Weed, MDMA, coke, speed, acid, diazepam, codeine, and looooads of tramadol it was doing the rounds fucking all over the place back in those days and in that area especially doctors just handed out drugs like sweets. I even had a mate with an oxy script. Fit girl she was too. She got it just by telling her GP her tramadol script didn't work well enough... so boom got moved straight onto oxy from the GP.

Those were the good times, best environment to try out drugs. I was relatively smart with HR even at the beginning too. Checked Erowid, posted on here, etc.

I'm gonna say pass on being a store clerk with a fancier title

Honestly smart move. Retail work of any kind is just depressing and gets to you quickly.

Tell you what though reading through what I've said in this thread I wonder if this is why I tend to have good luck with doctors. Although I joke about "blagging" on here that's not really what I do, I just get matey with the docs so we have an open and trusting doctor/patient relationship then if I need some type of medication I will straight up ask for it and explain why instead of trying to game anyone. Most docs are not stupid and tell if you're trying to play a game, they've seen it before, but I doubt they see many patients just coming in asking "can I have some [highly controlled drugs] because I need them for X?"

I keep getting told (mostly by Yanks) that this is ridiculous and I'll just get flagged as a drug seeker, well my repeat prescription list says otherwise. Whenever I see my GP we chat about our lives like we're mates. We also chat openly about the medications I'm given including their potential for abuse/addiction/diversion because he knows I understand them well enough and am sensible enough to be trusted.

Recently I got myself that DHC script literally just by asking for it. Of course I got a speech about how opiates are addictive and so on. I made it clear I understood this and only need them for prn use and encouraged him to write a script that doesn't allow me to use daily even if I wanted to, even though he was (reluctantly) willing to write a script big enough for me to use them daily. "I'm happy with that if you are" boom got a big bottle of DHC, but with a script that basically means daily use would result in me running out in half a month, so I use them only when I actually need them. I'm happy to work with, not against, my doctor.

And now I'm just rambling as usual haha bloody speed...

Basically if you find a doctor who sees a patient with a knowledge of his meds and sees this patient as someone trustworthy who just wants to be knowledgeable in order to use them safely, you're pretty sorted. Most docs see patients like this negatively so you just gotta find the good ones who trust their patients.

I remember getting ready to see a private psychiatrist to get my benzo script changed. Got everything in place, but beforehand just asked my GP for what I wanted just to see if I could avoid paying to go private again. Turns out it was no problem at all. Saved me a good few hundred quid (at least) that did. Not to mention time and effort seeing some new doctor who didn't know me.

When I got busted for growing weed a couple of years ago, people were asking my Mrs if i was having a mid life crisis! No, i just fuckin like smoking weed FFS...

Did that one have consequences? You were a bit worried at the time.

 

[F.U.B.A.R.]

How big or small was it @F.U.B.A.R.?

Extraction direct onto the street is bad form sir not that I know anything about it I swear.

Small as fuck mate. Five x 12 inch tall autoflowers in the back garden. I was trying to be discreet, but I underestimated how much of a cunt my Neanderthal neighbour actually is. To be fair, he let me get away with it for three years so I guess I got a little complacent. Also, i'd already had one crop that year so as well as the five measly plants, the pigs got 2oz of cured bud!

And my fuckin magic mushrooms...


On the plus side, they totally ignored the 1p-LSD, AMT and 4Ho-Met they found - probably too much paperwork.

 

[F.U.B.A.R.]

Not really, I got a caution. Even the cops thought it was funny when they saw the plants. They said "The amount of complaints your neighbours have made, we were expecting Pablo fuckin Escabar..."

 

[Jabberwocky]

They got dissapointed when they got Fu fucking bar

It would've been hilarious for them to ask "are you the fubar that mods OD & Lava? Good look mate!"

That's really nice of them to let you with a caution, for five plants I would've done enough jail to be used as soil for other plants.

I'm the same with my pharmacists, I think in general if people see that you know your shit and you are a decent person, respectful and with manners you can get medication easily, in the limit of decency of course

Really? are the laws that harsh in your country? Even though cultivation is still very illegal here, I believe you need to be caught with at least 9 plants before shit starts getting serious. I also got the distinct impression that the cops couldn't really give a fuck, they were just following procedure. In fact, they were a thoroughly nice bunch of chaps. They didn't arrest me, just took me to the station issued a caution then gave me a lift back home. Got away quite lightly really, considering that mushrooms are now Class A..

 

[Jabberwocky]

Lucky bastard! One pill of subutex got me 10 hours in a cell. The stupid cunts didn't find the rest of what I had on me.

Still can't believe I arranged to score from the back of the cop car when they were driving me home.

 

[Bo1992]

Lol well you

wow one pill ten hours in a cell seems kind of harsh

 

[Jabberwocky]

Custody was super busy that day.

The guy interviewing me at the end apologised. I was running away from my then boyfriend crying and heI was running after me shouting so a concerned member of the public called and I get shopped, he gets nothing.

Are you kidding me? For 2 grams they could pull a distribution charge on me if they are that assholes, a friend 2 months ago got called to our DEA because he got caught at Untold (a famous festival) with half a gram, an ex pill and half of a 0.5 xannax pill lol. And that happened fucking last year and they called him 2 months ago, it really depends in what city you are. The last city I've lived in was the second biggest here so they are kind of used to drugs, they may let you go for a joint or two but for anything bigger you get a case on your ass. And they fucking decriminalised spice, you can get away with approx 2 full baggies, but they've let a friend away 5-6 times with it, he used to nod out in the public and smoke freely, they got tired of bum user cases, idk why they don't do the same with weed

HAHA, scoring from a cop car.. ?

I came off my motorbike having had far too much to drink one night. Fuckin cops turned up and breathalysed me - which ì obviously failed, so they carted me off to the cop shop for the more accurate breath test. I had an eighth of black hash in a film canister so when I got in the car I stashed it down the back seat. Got to the station, did another breath test which I fuckin passed by the skin of my teeth so they offered to drive me back to where i'd left my bike. It was the same cop car. So I managed to retrieve my stash from the back seat and they let me on my way.

It wasn't all good though, when I got home I started pissing blood, then spent a week in hospital with a torn kidney from the accident.

But at least I got my weed back...

 

[leet]

I don't want to be around people like me all my life

But. but. bluelight

 

[Jabberwocky]

I can't close threads in real life or warn properly or temp ban only to permaban, so all I can do is ignore which would lead to a low wage because the job would be to fix and listen

i'd not had any crack for over 10 hours by that point, not arranging to score ASAP wasn't really an option.

you lucky bastard! though not so much about the torn kidney.

when i was in a psychiatric crisis unit i got caught skinning up and they thought it was hilarious when i asked for my weed back when they let me out. when i was allowed my phone and visitors again (i got quite badly punished) i got my dealer to drop some more off.

Heheh, "can I have my weed back?" "No fuck off you mad bitch..."

Got another 'back of a pig car' anecdote...

I used to hitch hike everywhere in the 80s. I was stood at a motorway service station trying to get a ride when the cops turned up. But they weren't pulling me, they were just offering a lift. I couldn't really say no, so I got in but I said I only wanted to go to the next services - even though it was nowhere near where I was going. I spent the whole journey with my sphincter twitching because I was carrying a tin containing 10 acid tabs, an eighth of speed, a lump of hash and a bag of smack. Ive never been so glad to get out of a vehicle in my life..

In most cases yeah. There will always be some in the medical profession who thinks anyone who's done their research must just be playing games. So you gotta judge who you're dealing with. But once you got a trusting relationship going you are right.

Not to forget the multiple counties where police forces have literally said they will not bother doing anything about a small number of plants as long as you're not too obvious about it. Durham was the first, a few more have followed since.

On the whole they really don't give a toss and would rather be using their limited resources to catch actual criminals.

They've seen me out in public very obviously proper stoned and just laughed and moved on too.

Have you seen the film Saving Grace? Our attitude to weed is summed up pretty well by that film I think haha.
