Most of my friends are pretty straightedge, I have the reputation of being the druggy of the group (even though all I do is roll ~ once a month and smoke pot once in a blue moon). They get drunk all the time, yet insist that I'm fucking myself over by taking E once a month

. But I digress.
Back in highschool, the school band would take out-of-state road trips. During my junior year trip, I was in a room with the most straitedge people you could imagine, good people for the most part, but fervently anti-drug. One particular night, they had a big movie party in their room, and I decided to duck out briefly to toke in another room with a couple fellow trumpet players. After the deed was done and I was quite stoned, I realised that I would have to play it cool and act completely sober going back into the room. Oh goodness, that backfired horribly, I entered the room with this horribly stoned, eyes half-open and tongue hanging out look. The entire room was staring at me. I never heard the end of their D.A.R.E. propaganda.
One time during my senior year of HS, I took a couple people with me to a rave who were staying sober for the night. I HATE buying inside raves (it's shady and you often get fucked over), but I had got a tip from a reputable source that had good reputable rolls. I try to yell to my friend over the music, and we end up having this massive misunderstanding:
What she heard:
Me: [inaudible shouts] Would you mind driving home tonight? . . . [inaudible shouts]
Her: No! No! Don't leave, Leon! Don't leave! (her face became both stern and saddened)
Me: It's ok, KT! I won't take it tonight if you don't want me to. (this naturally confused her further)
Her: No! No! Don't leave! Don't leave!
Me: [inaudible shouts] Really, it's ok, I'm not gonna take it tonight! (I left at that moment, for reasons unbeknownst to her at the time)
What I heard:
Me: Katie, I think I'm go buy an E. Would you mind driving home tonight? I'll pay you for the ride, it's no problem if you don't want me to.
Her: No! No! No E! No E! (her face became both stern and saddened, I became confused)
Me: It's ok, KT! I won't take it tonight if you don't want me to. (this didn't help, she just looked more angry/depressed)
Her: No! No! No E! No E!
Me: Katie, please don't do this to me, I don't want you to be mad at me. It's ok, I'm not gonna take it tonight!
I was really embarrassed and though that my good friend was utterly disgusted with my E use. We were both really relieved when I we sorted out this misunderstanding later, I felt really shitty for a while though, thinking was disgusted/mad at me.
When I came home at 4:30 that night, I ran into my mom who was up to go to the bathroom. That did not go well as I was still quite buzzy. I tried to retreat to my room, but she started asking me about the rave and I launched into a stream of gobbledygook about the loving and accepting spirit of electronic music and how it brings together the worst of enemies and strengthens friendships and whatnot. I'm sure she knew, but she never said anything to me about it.
