How do people in your life react to drugs?

Half my friends are cool with it the other half rather me not. Mom is completly against it cuz my dad smokes crack and has a life sentence
 
I can divide most people up into 7 camps on the drug issue.

Nonusers​
1: Ultraconservative. Would chase you out the door with a knife if they found out that you did anything but alcohol and caffeine. This includes my parents and pretty much everyone I know over 50.

2: Conservative. Wouldn't kill you, but won't think very highly of you. Most kids in SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions. Basically bought into DARE and the abstinence programs and want to continue it.) fall into this category.

3. Moderate. Accepts drugs as part of society. Wouldn't see them protesting or trying to legalize. Some of my friends lie in this region.

4. Liberal. Accepts your choice of drug. Strongly advocate legalization. Most of my friends are in this area.

Users​
1. Conservative. Thinks that anything but pot, alcohol, and caffeine is evil.

2. Moderate. Uses pot and (maybe) psychedelics, but wouldn't be seen with coke, speed, benzos, or opiates. Generally accepting, but might raise an eyebrow if they hear about you doing any of the harder drugs. My "druggie" friends are in this area.

3. Liberal. If it feels good man, like, do it. I'ma go nod off now. :|
 
Lol well my dad is a preacher and my mom played the piano in church so needless to say they weren't to thrilled when they found out I'm a heroin addict, esp. since my two brothers are perfect. Regarding my friends, I've been a junkie for so long that I don't really know people who don't use...
 
Most people I know are heavy drinkers and live in the usual adolescent/teenage binge drinking scene and there ideas of anything outside of an ecstasy pill as a extremely bad. Though these days the pills going around I'd rarely touch their filled with speed and anything that will give someone the slightest feeling, they usually just keep you up for hours!... I seldom tell anyone of my adventures on hallucinogens mostly because they look at me as a lost cause though my close circle of friends are all smokers and enjoy a trip or two
 
sound like your parents will be the ones bonding you out of jail when things take a turns for the worse. i'd personally be very open and honest and compassionate and understanding with them.

drugs, in our current society are bad, and they cause serious illness, fatalite, and prison sentences.

i'm guessing your parents don't hate drugs so much as the hate the effects drugs have over you.

i have a brother who is an addict. i haven't touched my drug of choice in over 2 years. it hurts when my mom calls me with tearns in her eyes worrying about my brother. i bet they did that with me too. i don't like hurting my mom.
 
when i was in high school my parents found out(i got arrested a few times) and were pissed, i've had some people judge me but now i'm a successful adult and and all of my friends use drugs and party like me with hard drugs.

for all who judged me, was disappointed, etc i don't give a shit.
 
Wow!! When my parents found out i was addicted to Heroin that was bad. I was living at my parents house at the time, and only my mom was home. She was downstairs feeding my sisters baby, while I went upstairs to do my morning shot in the bathroom. I got a big glob of tar out on a spoon with the lighter right next to it, but then realized I had forgotten my point in my bag in the other room, so I opened the bathroom door slowly, peaked out, nobody there so I went into my room to get the point. I found the point after about a minute and a half. As I rounded the corner there was my Mom with her hands on her hips with the most hurt look on her face!!! She looked 20 years older in that one brief look. It killed her and me..... Well off to rehab lol, although that did'nt stick so now I am still hooked, but atleast everybody knows about it and I dont have to hide it!!!!
 
Drugs and meeting friends

Hey everyone- not sure whether to put this here or in SLR, but anyways...
I want to know what experiences other people have had in terms of using drugs around/prior to friends/acquaintances who are not necessarily as drug-use friendly as you are. Or, how have you handled situations in winch another person finds out you are under the influence of something (while they are not).

For example, I was recently seeing a friend of mine- not someone I see on a daily basis, but more than an acquaintance. We were meeting up for some beer, and I had been smoking pot earlier in the evening prior to our meetup. When we did meet up, he made a couple remarks as to noticing me being slightly under the influence (I have extensive experience with marijuana, but haven't smoked for a few months prior and had no tolerance at the time). It's not like I was having any substantial impairment in socially interacting, but I still felt like he was judging me in a negative, or at least surprised (e.g., "well I didn't expect you, of all people, to use drug XYZ") way. Now this is not a problem really, but there was a slight awkwardness, as this friend in particular is one with which we have never really discussed our views on drug use, so I felt like there was a bit of a value judgment.

So, if situations like this have happened to you, in which you are on ____ drug. and less drug-friendly friends are around and notice it, what was the situation like? Or how have you reacted to people pointing your intoxication out, even if it is not belligerent/impairing/etc.
 
I went to a friends house one time to chill with a bunch of ppl and my boy brought some coke and the three kids that were there already saw the coke and said they were not comfortable seeing ppl use coke. We all laughed at them cuz they pop E all the time. Well they ended up leaviing becuz we were all just like yea were blowin this coke so too bad haha. Some ppls lake of knowledge is just too funny. What I always do in those situations is just let them know that I dont care what they think and then go from there.
 
I never do drugs around anyone that doesnt know I do them or isnt about to do them with me. I like pharms because if im with someone that doesnt do drugs & they see me pop a pill, I just tell them its for my back pain & everyone knows I have back issues.
 
I was fairly straight and narrow in high school and college changed all that, when I came back to my hometown the summer after first year I was an all-day-every-dayer with weed and my old friends thought I had turned into a complete burnout. A few of them that also blazed stuck around and those guys are still cool with buds and psychedelics but wouldn't fuck around with anything harder. One of my closest friends from high school looked pretty bummed when me and our other really good friend pulled out OC80s and started doing lines off his coffee table. He didn't tell us to stop though and I think he even accepted a little bump. All my friends in my college city are, at the very minimum, totally accepting and understanding of weed smoking, and basically everyone indulges. Most of them tweak on study drugs ("when [they] need to") and roll, trip, and do coke infrequently. When I quit using hard opiates every day, the people that knew about the habit were pretty compassionate and supportive. I had a few people (who are not exactly drug-naive) tell me they had been really worried about me and my relatively small habit. The three big ones that scare people here are crack, meth and heroin, I've indulged in snorting the latter with a couple of different buddies who were more interested in it as a novelty rock star type thing, but nobody I know smokes crack or meth and if you even claimed to be intrigued by either drug people would judge the shit outta you.

My parents know about the weed, and I think they know I smoke "a lot" but I don't know if their definition of that matches up with mine. Like, during the summers I'll usually burn a gram or two a day solo, or an eighth with friends, which adds up to a lot of $$... I'm pretty sure they don't understand that you either have to sell a quarter pound every few days or fork over a couple hundred bucks a week to sustain that. I'm assuming they don't know about the other habits, because I'm quite literally the only drug user/abuser in my tiny ass family and they would no doubt say something if they knew. One afternoon I came downstairs at like 4:30pm, having just woken up and blasted back a fat line of oxy (maybe too fat), and my mom made some comment along the lines of "Are you getting enough sleep? You're starting to look like you're stoned all the time," which I absolutely was.

They've also repeatedly commented on my perpetually stuffy nose and we've decided I'm allergic to something in the walls of my house ;P
 
most of my friends don't really go past smoking, drinking, and the occasional coke/shrooms. All my friends think it's weird that I roll, probably because they've never really done it before. I also hate how they think acid is a lot 'worse' than shrooms. It's fairly frustrating, I can't really do anything without being judged. Last night i was drinking a 40 while chillin on the computer and my room mate walks and and says"why are you drinking a 40" in a fairly condescending tone. I basically just try to do drugs by myself and no one really bothers me. But this is still annoying because one time i ate some acid and then got extremely paranoid because none of my room mates knew i was tripping and it turned into a terrible trip.

As for my parents, they know I smoke and drink and i know they disapprove but theres nothing they can really do and I haven't completely fucked up my life yet so I think we're good. I know they would not react kindly if they knew i was doing other drugs though.
