Mephedrone > Friendship

[Small_town_casual]

Probably a daft question this but has anyone ever lost friends due to drugs?

Just under a year ago I brought mephedrone into my circle of friends which then eventually spread throughout the community. It was great at first, was making money selling, then in the end worked out I got my stuff for free. Friends loved the "sessions" we had, everyone was happy and got along, but then as it went on longer it got worse. Certain friends began to fiend, and it was always the ones that had no money or hardly worked, they would caine all theirs then sponge off others. The said people then felt I shouldn't be making money off them, despite the fact they used to dip bags of weed when i used to smoke it with them, tension built within our group, and there was a clear divide when these certain ones were told straight. They were happy to sponge off us when nothing was said but then didn't like it when we had had enough of this and told them how it is and how we wanted money owed.

Friends which I valued at one stage I now rarely see and when do conversation is rare and little, these are the ones which couldn't kick meph, still do it despite paying over the odds for bashed shite, and are now sponging off others. The buzz, the hype from meph was great, and will probably be talked about in years to come just like the pills were of the late 80s early 90s, but for what it has done to friendships I will hate it, or maybe it has just purified the friendship, ironing out the impurities? probably the latter, anyone else experienced similar to this?

Yeah when i was pushing weed for a friend way back, two of us banded together and got out about a ounce a day, two tops. After a while he got pissed that it was always to my house and it was dealt from here, despite the fact i put money up front, i sold more and if his parent found it, it would be my problem the next day. So i said fuck it, take it and its your problem, ill come to yours with all the buisness now. After only 4 days he fucked us both, smoked it and left me to deal with the problems..

Sounds liked the same situation just different drugs, with me it was only me selling it as it was me with the contact for it, the knowledge and the money to get it, the only other friend that put any work in was the guy I now call my best mate who is quite a bit older, more established in this sort of thing and got the word of this stuff spread round my town like wildfire, probably getting me 60-80% of my sales. My other fiending they just liked to get the image that came along with it and thought they were something special and then started to think they were "bad" which they clearly weren't and got really annoying. Then one day I was jacked by one of the big dealers in my area because I was taking away a lot of his younger custom because it was stronger and more affordable, all they were assed about was the fact we had no meph for that night

In my experience with drug abuse I've found that it's not the substance or the effects of the substance that are the problem - it's the way that regular drug use will affect your life, your relationships and your eventual mental state..

Drugs have fucked my life and nearly all of my relationships and that's what they do; they don't fuck you physically which is the misconception I had up until about 6 months ago.

It can work both ways of course. U can find friends over drugs, and lose them. If you're "discovering" drugs together u can make some kind of pact. If youre the only one using you will lose ur friends. And if your friends are the one using, they can potentiate ur own use.

Point is the circle of friends u keep are down to you. If you're just their dealer, they'll see you as such, and if you're constantly off it, they'l get tired of it. Real friends are hard to find and keep. Treasure them.

so you broke off your friends and after breaking them off for a while with meph you told them they should give you money for what you gave them?

that is kinda lame man.

make them pay in the future but making someone pay for some shit you were giving them for free isn't right in my eyes.

No I think you have misunderstood, what i mean is, we all used to get like 5g each, and some would cane theirs dead quick and some of us would still have half our supply left and they would be fiending the stuff and pester us to sort them a line out, and they would tag along, turn up and because they were there sniff our stuff and chip fuck all or nowt for the meph and we were fed up of this. One mate felt sorry for them bought them a g when at mine once they caned it and then were asking him to sort them from his supply, and when he didnt they went to someone elses house who they knew would have some, we didnt just give it them, they fiended off us, and we had enough of it and told them how it was and we weren't putting up with it.

I have made a lot of friends through this, i would say this has shown me who my true friends are and got rid of the ones that were just using, may even say it has purified my mates. Met a lot of new people, maybe not mates for life but some proper sound people that are definately worth knowing.

I would agree that it's a friend filter of sorts. For me, it's just brought me closer to friends. Taken it a handful of times with some of my best childhood friends as we experienced it together. Can imagine taking it with jammy fuckers who arent really friends could be a good filter.

It's in a way analagous to the advice 'Dont take drugs to make a bad night good, take them to make a good night better', 'dont take drugs to make shit friends better,--fill in the blanks---'

Too true that mate, was talking about this at the weekend with me mates, bought some bubble for a one off and all came the the conclusion that it did filter the friendship

yes...

i have lost friends over drugs...

whether it was because they were doing more/ less than me

because i didn't have time to build the friendship

because so many so called friendships were begun while under the influence

because ive had to deal with the infinite comedown...


ive never done meph, but it sounds like it sucks. i hope you, small-town-casual, can remember who you were before, and reclaim yourself...
