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

The older I get the less and less I share about my consumption. In fact just recently I met somebody at work that I can tell means the best, but puts some of my shit on blast... (never on purpose, but through exposing himself as we are known associates, or as he puts it, "partners in crime"). I mean seriously, who smokes meth in front of their boss? For fucks sake.

Only drug I'll bring up is Marijuana, and that's only if I'm pretty fuckin confident they'll if not offer/sell or accept some of mine they will at least be cool with it. All my other "hobbies" are personal.
 
More recently I share less with people I don't know very well. I usually will get into a discussion about weed or psychedelics with someone I've just met, (since in this town, everybody smokes pot and has tripped a few times; a few of my friends' parents have told me about their mushroom or peyote experiences on a few occasions) and sometimes the conversation can lead towards harder drugs, and I may steer it another direction or decide it's safe, depending on how they vibe.

I mean, I use heroin regularly and meth now and then, which doesn't sound all that bad to those who use it, but to hard drug naive individuals, you might as well tell them you murdered someone! Even with people who seem safe to talk with about these things, i tend not to use the h-word, and forget telling them about meth. As far as my friends go, however, is a completely different story, as they know every detail of my drug life, but very rarely join me in my use, aside from my girl.

Only my best friend(s) in particular (pilltochill) knows as good as everything there is to know about my usage. My parent would probably go berzerk even if they would only know 1/4th of the dope i took/take. Pretty frustrating at my age to play 'everything is allright' when actually it's not sometimes. I'm a pretty on edgy person is the sense that i find myself getting uncomfortable very fast in situation where i just don't want to be in. To bad tho cuz im someone that really enjoys a good motivating talk about my use instead of being accused for being a mob junkie for smoking a spliff in the garden..

Yea well.. dat parents. U can't choose'm can we..

Roofie is the only person I tell every thing about my day-to-day drug use as well.

I tell my mom almost everything, but I can't tell bring myself to telling her too much about the drugs I'm taking at that time because I know it makes her sad. There's quite a few things that I've told my mom afterwards, like I didn't feel comfortable telling her about my 2 year long amphetamine addiction until I had completely kicked it, because it would've ruined her emotionally. She would've never known about it had I not told her, but I feel it's important she knows the full extent of my (past) drug addiction(s). I only feel comfortable talking to her about this stuff so openly because of the bond we share.

Also, when we have a discussion, or if I tell her something that is new to her, and thus often shocking, it never turns into an argument/fight. Neither of us will even raise their voice. Her empathy seems to have no bounds. And if there's a substance she doesn't know, she'll research it thoroughly before pointing out the possible side-effects, risks etc. She knows I like to be well informed myself, but she also knows I tend to indulge in self-destructive behavior. So she always gives me great advice, despite the fact that I already know most of what she tells me, I'm very appreciative for it.

I even told her a few days ago about how I've been using more amphetamines again lately, also told her about the tramadol. She rather knows what's up, even if it's sometimes not what she'd like to hear, she always stays calm and tried to offer constructive advice rather than making a scene every time which solves nothing and can mess up a relationship.

I told her about the amphetamines and the tramadol for a reason, I don't wish to elaborate on that though.

Well, it depends on which drug.

Adderall/Vyvanse - I'm prescribed Adderall and was previously prescribed Vyvanse, but I sold the Vyvanse because I felt it was even more addictive to me than Adderall due to the fact it was ER instead of IR and the high hit me in waves all throughout the day. Just my best friend and my brother know about the Vyvanse. No one knows that I "abuse" my Adderall, though. No one but the BL community.


I was gonna do what I did above for every drug, but I don't wanna make this too long. So for weed, parents know, my friends know, my brother knows and my cousins know but everyone else doesn't. As for norco and benzos, no one knows but my brother and my best friend.
 
Im 45 years old. I am a closet drug user. I have a professional job. Drugs are frowned upon in the professional arena. At least at my job. My mother has known for a little while that I smoke weed. I would absolutely die if my dad found out.

The only people who know I use weed are my close friends, my husband and one of my daughters.

The only people who know I use crack are me and my dealer.
 
I'm too honest to keep things secret from others so I'm usually just straight up about it.

The only thing I find annoying about it is that people don't believe me when I tell them I'm not on any drugs at a given time. When I'm having a great time at some party they automatically think I'm on Ecstasy. Can be quite the mood kill when people don't believe me given the fact that I'm honest about almost anything. If I tell you I'm not on drugs, I really am not. I would tell you if I were.

All my friends know I use drugs and I believe my dad also knows but he just doesn't give a shit about it. As long I don't start injectables, he doesn't seem to mind it too much. He also believes that Ecstasy is like alcohol.. hell, he even wanted to try some himself. I'm too afraid to give him some as he's pretty old and a little unstable.

I don't tell my mother anything though, she gets too worried about everything. She got pretty upset when I told her I smoked weed. That was the last time I was honest to her. I don't really talk to my mom much anymore so it's not a big deal anyways.

I regret it a little, not too much. Since so many people know that I use drugs, they usually come up to me for advice.. which I'm happy about because I don't want them to do drugs on their own thinking it's cool. What else is good about honesty is that I don't have to hide anything from people. When I'm a little depressed from rolling the previous night, my friends will understand and try to help me out a bit by not bothering me too much.

I sometimes regret being too honest about all this because getting in a relationship is quite difficult with pretty much every girl thinking I rail some molly before going to school. You know what they say about rumors :\
 
I only lie about my drug use to the police and people in the workplace. Friends, family and other people around me all know and are mostly ok with it. I have been open about my drug use for 15 years straight, and I respect and admire people who manage to be even more open about it, like Hunter Thomson or Hamilton Morris.

It's a fine line to be open about drugs and yet not preach or be an asshole about it but I've managed to do it. It puts me in a position to give a lot of harm-reduction advice. Merely by deterring people from using datura or mandrake root and convincing them to try something else, I believe I have saved many lives. Other timeless classics that a lot of druggies don't know and need to hear from me are "careful when you mix alcohol with amps or benzos" and "don't shoot up stuff that's insoluble in water". These people need an authority figure to listen to, and convincing them that I know about neurochemistry and pharmacology makes them see me as such an authority; then they listen to my warnings. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I sure do get some hatred from people who don't like their world view challenged (drugs are bad, mkay?), but usually they are satisfied by simply pittying me for my supposed dillusion and self-destructive behavior. Up to now they haven't been snitching me to the authorities "for my own good", which is my biggest fear. Coming out of the drug closet also makes it hard for women to trust me, as females value social bonds and are therefore biologically biased against things that are not widely approved by mainstream society.

But what can you do, a playa gotta be true to themselves, know what I mean?
 
I used to be open. But fuck that. I'd rather lie, say I don't do drugs and not be stigmatized. Everyone knows I smoke weed and drink (except work). Beyond that I tell them I'm clean and leave out any "details." No one knows about my daily kratom habit although I mentioned something to my mom a couple months ago about it. I'd rather not tell anyone because no one can tell when I'm high on kratom atm and it makes for a good work drug.

I regret being open in the past. It can definitely cause more problems than its worht.
 
^all opiates are like that you can function on them so nobody can tell your even on anything. I used heroin out cutting in the bush with a chainsaw by myself for years most people who don't use think that's crazy but I tell then they are crazy not for being high.

Mhhh let's see just about everyone I know my mom grandma, sister, friends. I hid it well for years nobody knew my work or no one suspected but now everyone knows and I could care less I get treated the same way for the most part as I have cleaned up my act and arnt going into the hospital all the tine

I'm very open about my use to my two immediate family members since they are understanding and don't judge me. Outsiders and co-workers - fuck no. I'd be shit canned before I could say "oh fuck!". Society really stereotype IV users the most because of media. I'd be getting into arguments, fights, and be hated and feared by anyone who' doesn't use and enjoy the needle as I do.
 
My immediate family know, but opt for the quiet, passive aggressive approach.

I'm reasonably certain portions of the extended family know, with an extra dose of passive-aggressiveness (except for one cousin on that side of the family, she turned out pretty cool).

All of my friends know, 90% of them are also drug users of varying degrees.

My doctor knows.

So I guess that's everyone important. But I don't make a thing of it with strangers/acquaintances unless it's in an appropriate context (at the right type of party, or friend of a friend met in the proper context) or they bring it up.

i have always been open about the drugs i do. except for one in spacific and the only people that know about that is my bf and who i get it from.
 
I'm open about it with my friends that also use. I have another group of friends that I've lied to and told that I stopped. The majority of that group are pretty heavy drinkers and have no problem doing cocaine, yet I'm the one that gets judged, lol.

Haha this is so typical, I get it a lot too. And when you take the time to explain to them that they're a bunch of slimy hypocrites, they don't even appreciate your efforts to enlighten them.

Understand that it's not their fault that they don't know the things you know, and move on. Surround yourself with people who appreciate the finer drugs in life and don't try to provoke minds that don't want to be provoked.

Welcome to bluelight, by the way.
 
do you ever think of all the junkie friends we'd make if we were all open about our drug use? hell, you'd be shooting up at lunch w/ co-workers, ha.

alot of people know about my drug past, esp. considering I have OD'd, been arrested, been to rehabs, detoxes, etc. so it;s a pretty open topic around the family and friends, and even most co-workers (who also use drugs and had their own problems). as far as where I stand now!? no, the parents and co-workers think I am not using dope, but I am surly using it daily. they think I am on a clean run but most of my dope fiend buddies and other junkie friends know. I talk pretty openly about my drug abuse PAST and just drugs in general.
 
how many people know about your drug problem?

many of my friends are addicts/ex-addicts, so they all know.

my family knows about my past and knows I still use but has no idea I am full blown junkie (again).

the people I work w/ know I am ex-junkie but dont know about my current junked out ways; although I am open about using ALL other drugs besides opiates. I still keep that to myself and my other junkie friends only. everyone else seems to think I was addicted, went to subs, road the sub train, and eventually got off ALL.. which is not so much the case.

so, are you an OPEN addict or a CLOSET addict?
