What is your group of friends like?

Myself I smoke a bit of weed, like MDMA, LSD and ketamine, open to other substances but particularly like getting into weird headspaces

There's A1, fellow raver, likes to go out a lot with MDMA/speed, smokes weed very occasionally; A2, anxiety problems, can't leave the house, has had problems with benzos/alcohol in the past, smokes weed when it's around him, will have MDMA if it's on offer and probably would take anything else I offered him; J goes through phases of heavy weed use, occasional use of other stuff like MDMA, speed, shrooms alternating with phases of complete sobriety, typically prompted by paranoid breakdowns or his girlfriend cracking down on him; P1 uses pharmaceutical opiates occasionally, usually in combination with alcohol, and weed occasionally; P2 uses basically every kind of upper, weed, and LSD occasionally; M goes through phases of getting ridiculously drunk every weekend and occasional weed use, alternated with phases of complete sobriety to get fit, the latter begins about 6 months after the former and the former usually begins on New Years Day, so he's just getting back into drinking and now wants to explore other drugs; S who doesn't take drugs aside from occasionally smoking a small amount of weed at the end of a night out, also rarely drinks, typically the driver at raves. P2 & I are the only ones who know any dealers or bring anything into the group, if it wasn't for us nobody would do anything other than drink alcohol and smoke weed, aside from P1's opiates. Nobody really judges anyone. Also have a couple friends who I don't hang out with much but we will occasionally middle-man for each other especially concerning substances that are rare or don't show up often around here.

Alcohol used to play a huge role in our group, we'd basically get as drunk as we could two nights a weekend all throughout high school and a couple years after, now we usually hang out sober or on various drugs if we go out. Some of us still binge drink on the weekends, some of us drink way less and rarely get drunk, I don't drink at all anymore.
 
My OG group has fallen apart. Everyone went down different paths. Plus most of them think i have gone off the deep end with psychedelics but what pisses me off is that im more sane than they are and im drugged out most of the time, haha simple minded idiots..

Im over groups/partying, just causes drama that shouldnt be around ime. I have a couple of chill friends that i trip/get high with but its nothing like when i first started using drugs.

Drugs and friendships, I can't tell when someone is calling me because they want to hang out, or they want me to get them drugs. Most of my friends are people who hang out at the bar down the street. I calculated that you can get any drug at this bar eventually if you hang out there long enough. If I had to call people in order to maintain friendships I would be friendless. Most people my age don't drop LSD, my friends ask why don't I just do coke like an adult. So I mostly trip alone. I add about 100 people a year to fb or my phone. Being friendless can suck, I moved to a city I didn't know anyone and was forced to go out and make friends or I would never get high again, so I am as bad as anyone for blurring that friend/connection line. So yeah drugs effect my friendships in many ways. A friend with weed is a friend indeed.
 
Life is a trip, for sure, hey --

I feel the reason I'm taking a break from drug-use is because I shouldn't or can't even enjoy drugs (not really, i love and miss them); or that they might hold me back from success - I am trying to get a GF, but I don't think i should be changing myself for someone else, i don't think my drug use was even an issue at all. I just feel it's hard to meet ppl and i'm not sure if drugs are holding me back or not? Most strangers I meet do not use drugs, but who knows. Sometimes it's hard to bring up. Either way I am just trying to say - I don't know if drugs were holding me back to meet new ppl, making my anxiety worse. More than likely I was better with drugs...

I'm 24 and feel I've gotten over my bad anxiety and I am much more confident than i used to be. Though for some reason I've feel like I've lost some of my personality as I've gotten older.

I really don't like or can't understand the majority of ppl -- BL is cool though!

Got a solid group of friends which have minigroups inside, normally split by activities and living location.
There's the stoner circle which closely coincides with the druggy circle. On top of this there's the gym circle and cardio circle (and then the part-time gym circle) In our group, if you do drugs you probably go to the gym or love to run/cycle for ages. Same kind of release imo. We're all pretty smart so there's the library crew which is made up of pretty much everyone that isn't currently in the gym, minus the BTECers (we mostly do A-levels).
Living locations is different, half the group come from or travel through one place and they tend to stick together while the 'outsiders' all kind f stick together. Most of us went to the same primary school and have been friends since we were 2-6 years old (Total of like 12 years minimum basically). It was a small school as well.

I'd say i'm half way through extro & introvertion and this shows in the friend circles as I often link the groups of more introverted people and extroverted people.

Very comfortable group really, we've been through pretty much everything together and already have stuff planned for next summer and mid winter since we're all going our own way off to universities.
 
I got a pretty varied friendship group, I guess I hang around in a couple of different circles. I hang around with a fair few stoners, fair few alcoholics and very few straight edge people. Levels of hard drug use vary a lot amongst my friends, although pretty much all of them more or less know the extent of my drug use, I am sure some judge quietly but I don't really care. They are mostly working in construction trades, as labourers or are unemployed but a few are at University or a bit older and working better jobs.

I hang around with all sorts really thinking about it, but my core friendship group is basically a handful or so of mostly guys that are total potheads and mostly atleast borderline alcoholics, only about half of them are working at this point in time so I guess you wouldn't class them as winners (not that I am haha) but they are decent blokes and have never done wrong by me. I would say this particular friendship group, with the exception of one or two, are not particularly well educated and it can be hard to have an in depth conversation with them about certain issues, they are hilarious though and always good to kick it with and have a laugh.
 
^^interesting to hear "straight edge" is still a thing in some places. I thought that term and lifestyle died out a few years ago.
 
Nope. I know plenty of people who are edge and have been for 5+ years, and most likely for their entire lives.

5 years ago I knew plenty of people that were edge and said they would be for their entire lives. it must have just been a fad around here because those same guys are asking me to find them drugs now...

Anyway, I am curious to hear about the dynamics of your friend group(s) and how you see yourselves fitting into your environment. Do you feel alienated? Or are you part of the bandwagon at your school, workplace, etc? Please provide basic information like age, gender, and location. Thanks for reading.

I'm 22/F/Canada

I love amphetamines, I love music, I love to dance. So those are my weekends. I go out with my boyfriend and basically all of my friends are drug users. Mostly they use MDMA, coke, GHB, ketamine as those are basically THE drugs to do. I don't have many close friends but I have quite a few "party friends" and even "party acquaintances" ... mostly because I frequent one club almost every weekend and this other club (which has a similar type of crowd, although a bit younger) and, even if I go out alone and have no plans to meet up with people, I will definitely know some people there. So I fit in there. But, if I try another club, or something like that, I do NOT feel like Ifit in!!!

I don't really have many (any) close friends besides my bf. I'm kinda close to my sister but she is younger and not a drug user at all. So it can be difficult to connect with her.

Work... well that's a different story. I find it very hard to connect with anyone there! I think it's partly drugs ... as they have made me more open minded ... while they are not. They do love to drink though!!
 
I have different close people that I chill with in different areas. Some just like to party and drink, some go out to the EDM scene and take molly other club drugs, some are psychedelic users, some are heroin users/junkies, some are meth users/tweakers, some are just all around, and some are just clean/straightedged. Wiggers, hipsters, African American, Sports lovers, drug dealers, candy ravers, casual, ghetto/hood, hispanics, koreans, import tuners, IT technicians, LGBT, comicbook nerds, gamers. I like learning different sub-cultures. It's quite interesting.
 
I honestly enjoy tripping out alone because a lot of people kill my buzz because of their annoying personalities. Lately, I've been hanging out and doing coke with my friend (with benefits) but has fucking adhd that on weed gets really distracted and couldn!t hold a conversation. To me, I enjoy being high with people who have the same intellectual level as me and don't get intimidated when I use big words and what not. The only time i like hanging out with a friend high is if I know sex will be part of the plan but other than that i keep to myself.
 
I left all my friends behind after highschool when I moved from FL to NC. They never seemed to outgrow the highschool stoner phase even ~3 years later. I had to move back home to FL where I got free health insurance for back problems recently and they're pretty much all the same, in jail, or junkies now. I don't really have any friends now -- it's nice. I just have a awesome boyfriend now and I've got much better things to do than hanging out with druggies.

Cokebloke, my old circle of friends were stupid too. I know that feel... most the things I'd talk about would go right over their heads. And I had ADD friends too who were chronic habitual cannabis users. Like they weren't stupid enough to begin with... it's really isnt good for their mental health. I could clearly see how the cannabis negatively effected them. And whenever I'd try to explain that to them and introduce them to other medicinal/intoxicating herbs they get all bitchy and defensive about their precious pot. Trying to make excuses that they cant deal with life without it. I think it's pretty foolish and ignorant to just stick to one herb, especially ones that aren't good for them, when there's a whole world of interesting medicinal herbs and such out there. These plants exist for a reason. I've got plenty of intoxicating/recreational herbs in my collection other than cannabis. There's really a herb out there for just about everything... nature is impressive.

my group of friends mostly involves stoners and drug dealers(yes they are my friends, they also happen to sell drugs) but thats who i grew up with.

"Let us discuss this 'trip' we are now having; it seems to me that this particular hallucinogenic substance or batch thereof may contain an adulterant that, much to my surprise as you, my friends, may well imagine, has me feeling quite rattled, anxious, and perturbed. Do not misunderstand me, for I am very much luxuriating in all this hallucinogenic goodness, but there is that indescribable something, that subtle nuance to which I am attributing this great feeling of unease."

You sound like a blast.
 
hell no ebola? you knew that. if you were concerned about having an interest in drugs you wouldn't have 17k posts on a forum about them. SHOULD you be concerned? whY?
