I juse use 'I'm pretty high' for just about every drug I use. I like to keep it simple and normal.
 
I dont do any of those drugs any more but if I am in any way out od it, then my head is mince.

or I am mullered

Drug friends...real friends...wheres the line?

Im not going to bog you down with my current situation as im sure we all have our own. Basically I only smoke pot now, so my friends are potheads. well, one of them got a girlfriend, and the other i dont hang out with much...so i havent been getting out as much.

anyway besides the fact...i know that heroin users and pot users will have different responses to this, but...if your "getting high buddies" found out that you quit, would they call you? i know its a tough and frank question to answer but id like to hear the replies. Thanks.

Depends on the drug.
Depends on the friend.

When I do coke, I usually like other people doing it also.. it's about being on the same wavelength.

I find that when I'm not looking to get high, sure I'll call the same buddies... but realistically, when we get together, one of us is going to break out the chunk of coke.

It's about having hobbies other than "getting high" with your friends. I use my other hobbies to keep my "druggie" friends in my life. It's also a much more healthier way to live, keep drugs as part of your friendship, not the sum total.

For instance, my buddies and I do long-ass hiking and camping times, it offers us a different way to connect and forms a stronger bond.
 
All depends on the drug, if some of your friends are smoking all the time and your not gradually you'll start to not hang around with them as much.
 
the difference is up to you...
i mean, think not of drugs, but of anything... soccer-buddies, schoolmates, coworkers...
you decide who one of them are real friends and who just "ppl that do the same thing together"...
the difference, at least to me, is doing stuff thats not related to the bonding-subject... i draw the difference between my classmates and my friends becouse i hang out w/ them outside college...
so if the only reason you can see yourself together with your smoking buddies is well, smoking, then to me you are not really friends...
 
i wouldnt really consider someone a friend that wouldnt hang out with me because i dont smoke pot
 
All the people I use drugs with are my friends in real life I made sure of this by saying no when fellow smokers asked me to go for smokes and things like that because I know the only time we would hang out is when smoking. Sure theyre nice people but whats the point if its only on that level?

I don't really think about taking drugs as being a huge deal this way it's just an extension of the night with the people I would be with anyway.
 
Most of the times I've actually been out with my drug/clubbing friends I wasn't on the same drug as them so I think our friendship extends beyond substance use. I suppose with time we'll all get bored of 'the scene' but chances are we'll all drift into the same one after that.

On average I indulge once or twice a month but this year I've been going out more often than that.
 
i have 1 real friend whom i can do normal things or drug related things with and any mix of the two. he has been my friend for well over 10 years, long before either of us did any drugs.. aside from this 1 friend my answer is NO. every other person i am associated with are purely drug related "friends". if we arent doing drugs, we are not together, period. they dont care about anyone, just drugs. they have no real feelings, they say what people want them to say to keep hanging out with them, and contributing with drugs. IE, maybe 1 of them has a cocaine hookup, another has a meth hookup, and so... people are so fake it sickens me.
 
It all depends on the person. I have real friends who I do drugs with but I also have "drug friends" who I do drugs with. The difference is that usually with the "drug friends" thats all we have in common, our passion for drugs. Which makes drug use the base of our friendship and without drugs we probably wouldn't even be friends.

couldnt have put it better.
 
awesome idea for a thread, I think about this a lot. My real friends (i.e. the people who have been there before the drugs, during the drugs, and after the drugs) all seem to have one thing in common: they have either grown out of their drug phase (i.e. just weed and the occasional shroom or acid expedition) and think that I need help for my pill problem nlol :(. As for the drug friends, well... I don't really have any of those anymore, although some of my new friends still enjoy a good OC blast once in a while :).

EDIT: I shy away nowadays from becoming emotionally attached to people that seem just as into scrips as I am... because I know that most of those friendships seem to fade if they began on a drug tip. :\

EDIT 2: Ughhh sorry... I just felt I had to add one last thing. In retrospect, I don't know if I should really draw the line between "real" friends and "drug" friends because I have a feeling that the older I get the less I will discriminate between different forms of human connection, sorry if I'm contradictory. I'm like the John Kerry of drug adicts lol.
 
I've had the same core group of friends since before I can remember, it just so happens that we all got into drugs. I agree with notneo in the sense that drug use seems to be just something that we all do together, not necessarily why we are together.
 
This has been a pretty big issue in my mind lately. When we were younger and just smoking weed weekly we would hang out as friends constantly and occasionally get high to make the situation more fun.

Now I have to be high in order to hang out. I mean I won't just go downtown to walk around and have a good time now, it's all about "Where can we get drugs, or where can we steal money to get them?" On 420 (april 20th) I wouldn't let one of my friends who can't smoke come over. I simply said "Find something to contribute, then gime a call" and hung up. He was really mad.

That guy has been on house arrest/probation/in juvie since the day I met him. Now he's at the point where he just can't take drugs, period. He takes shrooms and drinks but that's all that won't show up on his tests. I chill with him and talk to him in school, but we almost NEVER hang outside of school. And this is like my second best friend. It's horrible, but at least we're still friends.

But yea, probably 90% of using people I know wouldn't be hanging with me if they quit using. Sad but true.. I'm trying to find other highs in life though, so hopefully I won't always be so antisocial.
 
This has been weighing heavily on my mind lately and i've came to a conclusion that may help some of you. I think the key is to find friends that don't do drugs. I find that the people who i can have the most fun with without drugs are the ones who don't use them. Try and forge some relationships with non or occasional users and you'll find there can be alot of fun to be with because they are into alot of things that aren't drug related (maybe some you'll take interest in too.) Hanging out with drug people is great but they never seem to do the things like play pool, go downtown, or quite frankly go pretty much anywhere. Try it out and you'll see what i mean =).
Peace,

There are certainly friends who you only have one thing in common with..and that is the fact you both do the same drugs..

Now being sober I look back on two guys I met who were both junkies like I was at the time..we became "great friends" meaning we would always go cop together and use together...we never hung out and didnt use or obtain drugs.

I came across one of them recently (much to my surprise) and we had nothing to really talk about or do because I dont use anymore...funny how things like that work out.
 
I do have a few real friends - but totally understand the whole 'drug friends' thing, as i also have some friends that i would 'roll' with and smoke with more than do lots of other stuff. But i dont make a habit of it.
 
I find that the people who will be there through the good times AND the bad are the 'real' friends. When something unexpected happens they arn't one to just leave you there stranded they'll offer to help despite the legality factor.

I don't even think I have drug friends. The general drug users around here are in this apathetic stoner haze which really drives me insane and I don't associate with them since I see them as a bad influence and just reinforcing a stereotype.

I should really find hobbies where I can work with others. I generally read / write / discuss certain issues relating to myself and I've been getting into self-improvement as a result of my last trip but I'm really not that great at doing something without some form of entertainment and in the area I live in all the good events I wish to go to are all 21+ leaving me dissappointed especially when artists who I really enjoy come in to play.

If I quit all drugs people wouldn't abandon me. I'm taking a break from weed since it's highly counterproductive (destroys motivation, fucks with anxiety, and brings out depression.) People would probably ask me why if anything. My cousin, whom was one of the few people I tripped with, just recently stopped using psychedelics / stimulants and is continuing on quitting other things because he is now prone to seizures (it's an isolated case) but I havn't stopped speaking with him but then again he is family but I see it all pretty similar friends and family.
