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

most drug use is pretty open on a college campus. Talking about drug use is pretty common, I don't really try to hide it from any of my peers; i'll participate in a conversation but I don't start them. Although a lot of times I use drugs by myself, so people know I smoke but I doubt they actually know how much I smoke. My parents know I smoke weed and drink, but that's it and eve then I don't like being high around my parents or them knowing about my drug use.
 
Out of sight, out of mind in my household.

Outside of that, I surround myself with people I can be honest and open with. My friends either don't care I do drugs, or they do the drugs with me.
 
My mom only knows I smoke weed. My sister knows I smoke weed cause she does with me and she knows I've done ecstasy like some of my friends. Other than that no one knows fully about my drug use. No one even knows about my opiate/benzo addiction I had....well I still use opiates but then it's not as bad or I'm just denying that it isn't.
 
I try to keep shit on the down low... All my parents know is i am prescribed benzo's and that i smoke weed everyone in a while and i smoke legal herbal blends a lot.... My friends know that i used to get fucked up a lot, but now all they know is what my parents know... last thing i need is someone blowing up my spot
 
No one really knows about my (and my husbands) current drug use. Everyone thinks we quit except the people we score from. It's better this way for millions of reasons.. there's to much to lose if we went around telling people.
 
Only a very select group of friends know. Some people are too prejudiced and brainwashed to ever look at someone the same if they know they use drugs. One of my friends has said "I used to think he was a great guy, but then I found out he's a druggie" - regarding someone who only smokes pot :|

That makes me so angry. I despise the negative propaganda that surrounds cannabis use. People really are ignorant when it comes to cannabis.
 
I find that by not acting like it's a strange thing to be a drug addict, that it's normal and to have confidence in it, people will accept you and respect you.

I'm very open. However I will lie to certain people about it. Almost everyone is in awe when I admit what I've done. I'm reluctant to talk about heavy drugs with non-drug users due to biases they have rightfully developed. However things like adderall, alcohol, weed, I talk about with anyone.
 
Everyone knows, but oddly enough I don't have any druggy friends (this is definitely a good thing, actually). For years it was a huge part of my life, so why lie to everyone? I am blunt and blatantly honest about most things in my life. I have a number of psychiatric problems that results in the cops occasionally marching in, peeling me off the ceiling and stuffing me in an ambulance and they all know too. I don't do any drugs I get off the street though, all are prescribed by doctors and my use is so spread out these days that I don't have assorted bottles of assorted fun drugs in a big heap so....the coppers don't care.

My brother smokes liberal amounts of pot so we always share hilarious high stories.
 
Yeah I also don't have druggie friends which is pretty weird. I mean I have a few people that are but hardly. Most of my friends are honor students ect. and then heres me. So I usually don't talk about my drug use....they know I use drugs but they don't exactly know what..
 
When I was smoking weed & partying, the friends I hung out with didnt do drugs but drank heavily so they didnt really care, I mean they knew I smoked weed. When 2 of my friends found out I did coke a few times, they did the intervention thing, haha! I was like, wtf you alcoholics talking about.

We had a friend die by flipping his car while tweaking on coke so I understood why they were worried, anyway, I only tried coke a handful of times & then quit but they kept drink & one of them got a DUI but I never lectured him about it.

Now a days I dont do much except for my prescribed pain meds which people know I have a hurting back so no big deal. If I do other opiates, I never tell anyone.
 
I don't talk about crystal meth and I pretend like I don't know what it is if it comes up in conversation.

Harsh judgement is what happens if I even know what it is. Yes, I'm 52. But my kids are adults and they have made enough noise about people we know who have gotten busted for meth that I know what their opinions are. They'd probably have me put in a rehab. ugh.

mums the word.

I keep my drug use very quiet indeed. The only people that know I use are my best mate of 19years and the local drug agency.
I take heroin daily and benzos at the weekend,would hate for anyone else to find out. Obviously my dealer knows but I don't mix with other addicts.
I guess if I smoked weed instead of heroin then I wouldn't have to be so discreet about my drug use as there isn't such a stigma attached to it.
 
I have'nt been so quiet about my drug use in the past, but im only in high school, and it really doesn't matter. I'd rather give up my friends than pot and psychedelics. Im moving somewhere else for college, so I'm going to start afresh and play my game quite silent. Its a real bummer when people know what you do, especially your family. Stray away from them, I know that, and I'll never forget that.

Seems like parents flip out more because they find out your doing hard drugs compared to getting a girl pregnant where I think it should be the other way around. Altho growing up in my house hold, both of those scenarios would have been evenly bad.
 
Shit man, at my age, after having been basically fucked up for the past ten years, one of the big pieces of baggage I dropped off is pretending to not have a drug problem to friends and relatives. I can't understand sitting here putting on a show for everyone, full of well-thought out excuses as to why I couldn't keep this job, why I feel/look like shit, need money, etc. other than "well, I do drugs and keeping the drugs dosed right is not easy with these prices and my tolerance." It really cuts to the heart of the matter. I lie to employers, of course, for a while. But you can only lie for so long to people before it all comes crashing down. I do my best when the opiates are cheap and abundant, but thanks to the pill market being so heavily scrutinized and controlled, heroin is back on the scene and attracting people like me. Trying to hide a heroin habit is like trying to clear the air of smoke in a forest fire.
 
My immediate family (parents and brother) know that I am a big pothead and i also drink a little. They pretty much know that I am back on Heroin now too, although i really don't care.
 
I'm less vocal about my vices than I used to be.



Depends how high I am.

I do however have a habit of talking drug science at work. The square nurses just assume I'm smart, and the hip nurses tell war stories and share track marks.

Medical field is full of bad craziness. It's a literal double-edged sword. Leading a double life.

Unless you're square.




But I don't really talk to too many people in the outside world anymore. I have a careful screening process for speaking candidly (which I consider the only way of speaking btw) with people I don't know too well. Bluelighters are usually fair game but, you fuckers are spread out too far and I don't have wings to visit you when I need.

Me, myself, and I. A few close friends know of my past, but only my connects know the reality of my present.

My live in boyfriend of many years doesn't know I'm not clean, my bupe dr of many years doesn't know...No one in my family has EVER had any idea and I have been a junky for about 7 years at this point.

.Knowing how to keep my mouth shut is how I have been able to maintain a pretty normal, and even somewhat successful life with a pretty huge habit for many years.

to be honest, while I do hate being shady with my boy, I think I get off on having a secret double life to some degree.
