Fuck, I have a story I am really ashamed of.
So, summer two years ago when I was fourteen, it was the summer I really got into doing drugs and the summer that my good friend who lives in England came over to Canada. The year before that (when I was 13) I was introduced to alcohol and weed, and my mom never had a problem with that. So anyways, the summer when I was fourteen me and my friends would always go pick up a quarter, smoke some blunts, find someone to buy us booze then hit up the skatepark until we could get the booze to bingedrink (keep in mind we did this literally every night for 3 weeks, until my friend had to go back to England). So, eventually my mom catches on, due to the fact that we always did it at my house (single mom who is always working her ass off so is never home.. which is why I feel bad). So, obviously the trust starts to break down, and she starts thinking I have a problem more and more. Well, it just so happens that this is also the time that I get introduced to MDMA and Shrooms. So, after finally stopping binge drinking and cutting back on smoking, I start doing MDMA. I did it 2 times in 1 week, and after discovering Erowid and Bluelight, I started only doing it once every month and a half to not suffer brain damage. Well, due to being fucked up all the time the summer went by like a breeze and we're now in the last weekend of summer, so me and my good friend (who is 2 years older) decide it would be a brilliant idea to take 4 grams of shrooms each. Keep in mind that during this time, I have never really been caught, except a couple times for weed, which my mom at the time was fine with. Also, it was my first time doing shrooms.
So, it's a beautiful day and me and my friend go and pick up the shrooms. Our other friend decides to buy some too, but he had to go to lacrosse so couldn't stay with us to take them. So we go up to my room and start munching on the shrooms, and eventually went into my TV room to watch T.V. The shrooms start kicking in just as we happen to stumble upon Coronation Street. All the female's voices in that show sounded demonic, so we decided it was a good idea to get out to my backyard and have a bong session. We're having a good time, and the shrooms are really starting to kick-in, and I notice that my mom keeps texting me. She's asking me what I'm doing, what's up and all that good stuff, and I just say that I was hanging out at the house. Normally, she would just say something along the lines of, "O.K cool, I'll be home at XXX time for dinner, text me if you go anywhere" and that would be the end. But, she keeps texting me and the shrooms keep kicking in more and more. Eventually, I invite three of my other friends over just to hang out, and my mom's texts keep coming on and on. Then, at one point we're all sitting around the table, just talking about how badly me and my friend were tripping, and my mom keeps texting. But this time, she reminds me how we had to go out for dinner in an hour and I was kind of like W.T.F? In this state? I make up some bullshit lie that I'm going to see a movie with my friend, and how I'll call her later... big mistake. This whole time, I kept letting my friends know how my mom was acting weird and kept texting me, and how I felt like something was up. Well, once she receives my text about me going to a movie, she calls me. (The conversation went roughly like so):
"Hey Mike, how's it going?"
"Pretty good (random shroom initiated laugh) I'm probably going to go see a movie soon"
"Well, you can do what you want, but I'd be really disappointed if you don't come out for dinner with us"
At this point I obviously know something is fucked, and I'm signaling to my friends, asking what the fuck could be up. Well, eventually after some really stupid ideas about how the trees are smiling at us, I come to realize that it was my mom's birthday that day. IT WAS MY MOMS FUCKING BIRTHDAY.
At this point I realize I am totally fucked. Really, what the fuck can you do when you've completely forgot about your only parent's birthday, and you're tripping on shrooms for your very first time? I'm still on the phone with her, and I quickly try to play it cool and say that I know it's her birthday and that I was joking about the movie. Well, it was too late.. she knew I completely forgot and said she was going to be home in an hour to come pick up food (turns out we weren't going out for dinner, but rather going to her friend's house for dinner). At this point, I'm not really sure what's happening because I'm so fucked up and I start laughing really badly. Considering only two out of the five of us sitting there were on something, everyone was asking what the fuck was up. So, I told them that I kinda forgot it was... it was my mom's birthday. Everyone starts laughing, and they all know I'm fucked. So, we decided to make my mom a birthday card and pick flowers for her, but by the time she got home she was fucking disappointed. Now that I think about it, the card wasn't even that bad, and was actually pretty fucking funny when I saw it sober. To finish off the story, my mom left with my brother (whom she had arrived with) and walked down the street to my mom's friend's house for dinner. I told them I'd be there in a bit, as I had to get everyone out of the house. After everyone wishes me luck, I walk down the street, and my high is completely fucking killed now. I'm still having visuals, and I distinctly recall the walls moving the entire night at my mom's friend's house, but I no longer had the happy everything-is-fucking-hilarious mental feeling. When I arrive at my mom's friend's house, everyone is all like, "Hey Mike! We're glad you showed up" and everyone was telling me that it was better to show up late than never. Thankfully, after this whole ordeal my mom was actually kinda cool with it, as I told her I had smoked weed (she didn't find out about the shrooms!) and that I didn't want to upset her during her birthday...
To this day, even though it was fucking hilarious, I still feel very bad for my mom, and couldn't ever imagine doing something like that ever again. This was the start of a general breakdown of trust and my mom accusing me of using hard drugs (which at the time was only MDMA). Thankfully, I've repaired the trust I've lost over the past two years, which, somewhat ironically it was the past year which I've actually started doing hard drugs.
Another story I have is when we were smoking in my upstairs terrace and my mom came home without us knowing. We had been smoking at my house for years, so when we heard her come up we tried to hide everything, but weren't really panicking as she had seen us smoke joints before. Well, this time we weren't smoking joints, but smoking out of a bong. My mom grew up in Oakville (If anyone lives near Toronto, they know how secluded Oakville is) and has only ever smoked weed three times - the first time when she was 24 years old. Well, she flipped her fucking shit when she saw the bong. She dragged all of us downstairs and gave us this huge fucking lecture of how we're ruining our lives. We're all fucking baked and are kind of like W.T.F? because she has seen us with ounces, grinding it up and rolling it, but when she sees a bong her attitude completely changes. She started comparing us to a man she sold a house to, who recently (after she sold the house to him - she's a real estate agent) go caught selling cocaine through his "laundromat". She was seriously comparing smoking weed with selling cocaine... At this point, she asks me to get that "thing" out of her house, so I proceed to put it in a garbage bag. I can tell she is really drunk, and that my friends are completely shitting themselves, so we kind of wiggle ourselves out of the situation by saying we're all going to quit smoking (lawl, yeah right). Eventually after more lecturing, we all go to bed. The next morning though, I go downstairs and the bong is still on my kitchen counter! I quickly hide it in the basement and tell my friends, who are still freaked out about what happened, and refuse to come back to my house that week. I got grounded for 2 weeks because of this. Thankfully though, when she happened to find the bong again in the basement, she just removed it and when I went to go find it to smoke out of it, it was gone! She never brought it up with me ever again, and I never got into anymore trouble after that.
This pretty much ends my story, and my mom actually trusts me now, as I haven't been caught doing anything in over a year. Thankfully she is very drug-naive and I have been coming up really hard on MDMA after insufllating lines in the bathroom and have been out to dinner with her while nodding out on morphine. I still feel very bad about these incidents, but I'm glad we both moved on
