How open are you about your drug use? Who knows you use drugs?

Depends on the drug and the people. I'm usually pretty open about pot with most of my friends because its relatively socially acceptable in a lot of circles. As far as other drugs like acid and things of the sort, I tend to only tell other people that use such things because sadly those types of drugs are still seen as trouble by most of society. I think its very unfortunate that psychadelics haven't been embraced by society for medical/recreational use as I think they have a lot of potential to help people and are fairly safe (probably safer than a lot of the stuff that they prescribe to people provided they are used safely).
 
I suppose everyone I know, knows about my drug usage, even though I've never told them.
Oh, and some inmates I was in with know. But who cares..
Word gets around in a small town. However, the only family members who know is my mother.
My brother & father suspect it, but they never found any 'proof' of it.

Friends have an "idea" I use heroin - i refuse to confirm (or deny, for that matter).

My xanax addiction is legendary and the butt of many jokes. I actually steal them from my mother who has had to put a lock on her closet door which I found the key and immediately duplicated. ("Never Trust A Junkie"- nancy spungen)

Lol.. even though I feel like shit about it. I've done the same thing, except I didn't 'duplicate' the key, per se. I took the spare & replaced it with a very similar looking key.
 
I wonder how many of you "closet" users are really keeping it a secret

people aren't stupid you know

well some people are

idk, part of me wants to just go into detail about everything with my parents now that my brother has done that but at the same time he only did it because he sucked at hiding it

I think im gonna ride it out a while longer, maybe like 3 or 30 years
 
Everyone at work knows now thanks to my dipshit cokehead coworker announcing the fact at breakfast today, I wouldn't mind so much if my Dad wasn't so close to the bosses here and my little brother possibly replacing me when I move away soon. I normally just said I was drinking/partying/'raving' when I couldn't work dates or came in on a comedown but it was often the standard RC session with a couple of mates.
My major friend group knows most of it all, I think they exaggerate it in their minds though and overguess how frequently or how much. I would rather it that way actually because then it's not looked down upon quite so much when i don't turn up to X because i'm on Z or at Y and they love it when I do go out in town with them (which I secretly love as well but it's effort).
The general friend groups thinks I have on occasion ("hasn't everyone?") but definitely don't really know the extent.
Most people that meet me think I'm a little bit of a dork and doesn't fully enjoy going out like a lot of people. In all honesty house party (drinking) > druggy sesh > town although if we can get the same numbers of a house party on a druggy sesh it'll be eden.
Parents know I have and suspect they think I still do. They hate it and I wish I could be open about it but there just won't be any sort of support with problems nor will there be any understanding at all. Mother is far too much of a bible basher
 
I feel like it's pointless to hide my use, my whole family knows, all my friends, co-workers...

I used to try and hide it but I found myself getting paranoid all the time. Drugs I usually won't bring up in front of people would be heroin, and especially meth. I've joked a few times about smoking meth and everyone always looks like I'm crazy. But really I meant it, hah.

Then again I hang out with a weird crowd. Like the other night, everyone was doing Xanax and drinking getting all stupid and sloppy. I pull out some oxycodone and I get called a drug addict, wtf?
 
I use my own custom designer stims, legal but incredibly potent... I used to be very open about it but people judged me with little regard as to the nature of what I was doing. Now I just keep my data and information to myself, unless someone is interested that is trustworthy. Drugs are drugs, but it is too bad that designer blends of legal products are treated the same. On the plus side, finally thinned down my group of friends to the ones who either do not bother me about what I take, or wish to start themselves. Sucked big time when I learned who I could trust though.
 
perhaps my brother, but he doesn't know what I do exactly. My family has caught me, but thinks I'm clean. My friends know I like to do drugs, but only a select few know that I IV and use meth, heroin, and cocaine. The rest of my friends are either psychedelic users, clubbers that take MDMA, or just potheads.
 
most people know I use, I'm pretty open about it and don't really lie about it if someone asks. The only part I leave out is that I'm an IVer, but then they just see my tracks and know...

I would announce myself as a closet user, but I know far too many people know about my drug intake.
Thanks to my big mouthed lousy dope fiend friends. lol..
I found out after I went over to my friends house for a party and one of my childhood friends whom was at the party tried to give me a lecture about doing H & using the needle.
I know exactly who squealed.. Gotta hate those "I'm so badass for doin' dope, I gotta tell everywooooon" users...
 
I was open before....now I keep it a secret I take Suboxone. Being on maintenence limits the jobs you get....and every chipper wants to buy your meds to get high. When I was open and honest about recovery it seemed like I had a worse stigma than if I was drinking or smoking pot. Basically, no one that doesn't need to know knows. All my close friends know is that I'm straight now.
 
I stayed with my sister and brother in law for a few days, and the three of us smoked together many times. I like dat.
 
same here, Dare21. i used to not give a shit, but now as i begin to advance in a career, it becomes more of a priority. i still smoke joints/spliffs in public but i don't trip in public or go out when i'm smoshed off my fase anymore. my family and friends know i "used" to do hard drugs. i try to keep it that way.
 
Myself I like to keep things real, if you know me then you know I use drugs, in my own opinion I don't like someone who you can get high with then if you see them out with people you both have gotten high with an they say "No thanks man I quit" then hour later they're at your place wanting to get high!!! Fuck em guess that's why I don't have many friends. Of course I don't get all Fucked up an make an ass of myself in public.
How many True friends do anyone on here have myself I have 2 True friends that would die, go to prison, or just straight up Fuck someone up for me.

I'm way, way to geeky about drugs to be very closed about them. In some company, I play my interests off as a mere side-effect of having a background in cognitive psychology and neurology...this works mediocrely. :P

ebola
 
My immediate family definitely knows about past/current use. But turns a blind eye to it really. Maybe I'm being a bit paranoid but I always think even complete strangers can tell I use drugs.
