My brother has been a stoner since high school and would have the occasional sneaky bong hits in his room after my parents had gone to bed,or when they were out.One day he got cocky and was smoking while Mum was outside gardening.He didn't hear her come back inside,and had just taken a hit when she knocked on his bedroom door and came straight in,so he leapt into his wardrobe and pulled the door closed and almost went blue holding in the smoke while she dropped a basket of fresh laundry on his bed and left,none the wiser.
He also used the same trick as everyone else at school used when coming home stoned with really bloodshot eyes.He'd head straight for the shower and come out rubbing his eyes and complaining that he got shampoo in them and they were burning.Apparently none of those kid's parents were any the wiser?!
Back in the days when I was a speed addict,I went to visit my parents for a few days over christmas.I'd rail a few lines and be bursting with energy,and one day I spent over 3 hours maniacally cleaning the small ensuite bathroom.My pupils were so big you couldn't tell what colour my eyes were,I was soaked in sweat and grinning my head off scrubbing grout with a toothbrush.I saw Mum shake her head in admiration and say "she's such a hard worker!" to Dad.They had no clue,but I feel we both got something positive out of my drug use
Oh yeah,and I think I've posted this elsewhere,but I had something awesome happen when I was visiting my parents once. My mum has polymyalgia and her doc had been trialling her on all sorts of pain meds to manage it.I'd recently hurt my lower back,and asked Mum if she had any paracetamol.She said "oh try one of the pills my doctor gave me,they're really good for pain but were too strong for me,so you'd better go lie down after you take it".I assumed it was just codeine so I popped it without much thought and went to lie down.Pretty soon I felt completely smashed and was drifting in and out of conciousness,feeling floaty and dreamy and the pain was completely gone.Once I'd come around I asked Mum what the pills were.She said "oh here,take the box home with you,I'm gonna try something else".I was completely gobsmacked when she handed over a box of Oxycontin!! Of course I bragged about it to my brother who immediately blackmailed me into sharing,but as we were opiate newbies,we had a shitload of fun with them!
