..anybody? And if so did it freak u out? or not bother u, did u walk on by? Or seen anyone do it in a club?

I have and hell yea it freaked me out...............There was this huge club place past Larne called Kilwaughter House.........and my friend took me there few years back as many pple she knew went there.....and I love to dance.........so I heard this place was huge. Kilwaughter House was well-known for druggies and stuff.................the following is the truth and Im not ashamed to say:

From the moment I walked in it really took a while to get used to the atmosphere..........u know, guys wherin little or wearin like 'glowin bin-bags (what ur Rubbish Man wears), and with them blowin on their whistles and lookin high and stuff - all this atmosphere started to freak me a little...........esp when ur a person who doesnt drink, smoke, or do any drugs......its harder to accept an atmostphere like that...........and the girls..........what can I say.........strong attitudes and lookin high too, being drunk.......I couldnt take it in very well.....

But after a good hour I was a bit more settled....my friend likes to attend these places, but doesnt dance, she luuuuuuuuvs the music but doesnt dance, however kept tryin to encourage me up on the stage where loads where wearin the white gloves and blowin into whistles and stuff ( I really would say this was 96 era as we all know early 90s had all this 'Hard Skool' music with robotic dancers and the whisles and stuff, plus ur granny gloves!!!! :laugh:.:D) - cause she knows I love dancin...........but heres the thing.....we were standing at one point arms over a barrier seperating dance-floor from standin-floor, and there was this one guy, whose face I will never forget........I looked at him so close and he was like 'looking-at-me-but-not-all-there' and he was comin back and forth from me all hyped up and arms flingin like a mad thing..(I know, sounds a bit funny how I said that!:D)...his eyes were so wide, like saucers, and I saw him there and then pop another pill..........this started to freak me out.......that I genuingly had to move away.....I told me mate Id be 'back shortly' and went to the phone-box inside the entrance of the place...........crying, I rang my mum.

I dont care if any of u laugh at this but I said to my mum I was 'terrified, frightened' in this environment, I didnt know these pple at all, they didnt seem normal........I told her I was witnessin pple on drugs and when ur a sober person who wont loosen up unless ye got alchy in ya, then its a lot worse (is for me anyhow)...........I was crying quite a bit, but she told me to 'hang on in there' and was great........re-assurin me......and hearin her voice made me feel better...........she did say to call again if I couldnt take it any more, (prob had plans to get a taxi home).......but mums, eh? What would ya do without them.....to make ya feel betta.....:):):):)

So, I hung up and dried everthing up as fast as I could...........didnt want mate to know Id been through this...........I then struggled but learned fast to cope with these pple...........I then loosened my nerves up and started to dance, which released loads of tension, by the end of the night I was more settled..........but still on my guard against these pple..............I didnt want them near me...............

A few times after that we had went, each time I was more into it, but I mean that in the 'dance way' of 'it', not the place.........got to meet some of her mates who went...couple were druggies but not bad pple to chat too............my friend even gave me her grannies white gloves to put on...this was so I could 'blend' myself in with the atmosphere without having to join their game......it was something that made me feel comfortable in order to enjoy myself.............

And so there u have it...........I believe it was closed down due to the drugs being taken, Im not quite sure on the story, but it was long time ago I went, and truly my first time witnessin...

Another time, in another place I witnessed this couple............(and this place had tons of bodyguards in, it was a drug-intolerance place)........and what do I see them do to get high? He kisses her and as he does so I see his slip one into her mouth, then continue kissin a bit.......but Im sure she was aware as they were with each other......so like......

Of course, of course most of u out there know more worse things happenin in how pple get high and stuff and prob think Im being immature over this......but Im sharin my side.......:)

That other place was closed down too.......................

Kinda sad, every place that closes down leaves a ghostly atmosphere/era.....

ah well, but anyone else have anything to share????? :)

a lot of kids go to school high and or drunk. that's not unusual at the high school i went to. or on special field trips or whatever, people would eat pot brownies/cookies before they left.


to be frank, some people were more pleasant high that normal. that's terrible indeed, but true.
 
I have some friends who are on drugs, but I never hang out with them while they're high.
I think it makes them act stupid. If I were on drugs I'd be embarressed to go out in public while I'm high.
I've never done drugs, I never will. But I'm not against anyone who does.:|
 
Oh gawd yes, more often than not,lol. This is California, seems like its pretty hard to find anyone under age 70 who doesnt or who hant done drugs.
Ive seen it at school,parties,clubs,parks, at friends houses,in hotels(by the employees!Har!)...all over the place. Had many many friends affected by drugs, even killed a few people ive known.
Untill early February of this year, i never lived further than 3 doors down from a drug dealer, seriously. :tsk:
One of 'em seemed to be a pretty big time dealer too.

Now i "just" live near porn stars :rolleyes:
 
I used to hang with a group of guys who did a lot of acid, pot, booze, and coke now and again. They were a very low-pressure group and loads of fun when not high. I grew out of them. Now most of them are reasonably productive citizens. The few who aren't were the heaviest users, which is probably why they used so much in the first place. No one I knew was a pill freak; those people are too unmanagable. Now no one I know does the hard stuff; one or two will smoke a joint occasionally, but I won't let them in the house because it stinks up the fabrics in the house. The drinkers are moderate drinkers, so that's not a problem. Plus, all of us are WELL past 21. :p I never went to clubs, so i never went through what you went through, maddie. That would scare the shit out of me now, and I'm older than you!
 
I've seen people on drugs (speed and e) when I went to an after hour club.

My friends have taken those kind of drugs because they go to raves but I've never seen them under the influence of these drugs beccause I don't go with them.

The only drug I have ever taken with my friends is pot. I used to smoke it a bit more when I was younger but I have stopped because I saw how much a loved one changed after consuming and beind dependent on it. His behaviour changed so much since he started to consume pot daily and he started to do things that he would have never done before, and that scared me.
 
yep, i too have seen many people take drugs and have been around one to many people who are high. However until last year I never saw anyone snort cocaine. I was at a nightclub in Atlanta with some friends and was freaked out to look over at a table and see two people snorting lines of cocaine right off a cd. :|
 
I used to date a girl that was a heavy (near alcoholic) vodka drinker and speed addict. Really, glad not to be with her now! She's trouble and emotionally unstable! Can't deal with that drug shit!
 
uh, the only drugs i've seen ppl on (that i know of) is pot. i generally distance myself from these things for the reason that i don't want to have anything to do with it. i'd be totally freaked too, maddie.
 
mad, i have and it SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME. its something i would never ever consider doing, because, not to sound repetitive, it really scares the beejesus out of me!

Not conforming to any irish stereotypes with that remark!:p

seeing people on a high, champing their mouth and their eyes rolling in their heads.....:sad:
 
I smoked some weedo a few months back.
It was interesting.
I don't think I'll do it again..I just get this clostrophobic feeling.
But at the moment its...interesting.

I remember the night...
I had had a good bit to drink as well combined with the drug. I was messed up!!
I was in a car with my friend and it was just me and her and I kept asking her if she had picked people up and why were there people talking and laughing in the back seat?!?! I learned my lesson.

Recently one of pals took some afedrin and smoked pot. Suffice to say it was not a pretty scene.

As for hard drugs...I've never touched it and never will.
A very good friend of mine and a cousin recently checked himself into a rehab center. Thats tough.
its tough on the friends and really tough on the family.

No good comes out of hard drugs...or any drugs really, I suppose.

My worst qualm with weed is not that it will kill you but that it tends to make people lazy and unmotivated - the "pot-heads" anyway. It really lessens your intelligence oer a long span of time.

Its weird what humans do to themselves to feel different. We're the only animals to do that I's say!
 
Whats really scary is that a couple of my friends have done E a few times.

I don't think people realize the awful effects that can have on a person.
Once saw a picture of a girl on E whose brain looked like chedder cheese...or whatever cheese has all those hole in it.
The holes went all the way through!!

After the first time, even, there is a scar left on the brain and if your planning on going into the airforce you won't get in, even if you took it years ago!
 
Well I've never tried any drugs, except Marijuana which I don't consider a drug. It's a beautiful thing, special thing. Some of my friends have gone high to school, I did it once and did not really enjoy it. You shouldn't have to carry out responsibilities while high. Its boring. But being in public while high is obviously great, you'll meet people you'll never meet and you'll do things you'll never do. And laugh.

But, eh, enough. To answer your question, no. :wink:
 
Saw my friend last party, took weed. Then the other did so and so everybody did.

I don't have problems with weed, noone has here, except a few. If you don't want some, its ok (some jack-ass will probably response "Cool, I'll have more").

Don't touch heavy drugs though, but weed is ok once in a while, to relax or get cool music ideas.
 
i don't think pot is ok...at least not for me. i can honestly tell all of you right now that i never have, and never will smoke or do any drugs...you can hold me to that
 
I dont think pot is that bad at all.. its not addicting .. ( I'm sure people will argue that but I believe its a fact. ) and can be enjoyed occasionally without any more damage than lets say alcohol. In fact I dont really consider it a drug.. its herbal ;) People that have never smoked it probly wouldnt understand.

I've tried a couple other drugs in my younger years and lets just say I wont do any of them again. Hard drugs fuck you up big time. I've witnessed friends on speed and other drugs and it really messes them up. Plus I found a natural high and it feels great. There's no point in taking drugs.
 
Interesting thread...

I have seen people on drugs many times however never when I have been straight. I smoke pot on occasions and I dont see anything wrong with it. It is really not too different from another drug, alcohol. I mean, its effects are different but really, its very tame as far as drugs go. I dont know how they (we) appear to others really when we do. I dont really go out and socialise with others when I do it so I really dont know....id much rather prefer to stay somewhere and chill :)

Sicy, pot IS addictive though. I know people who are addicted to it and cant get off it. They need it to function properly and get very annoyed and agressive when they dont have any.
 
Technically pot is a drug because it contains THC which floods to your brain and alters the senses.

BUT it is a herbal drug(if its not laced ;) )

Like I said,
I'e no problem with pot, and I would not rule out never doing it again.
But I've seen some friends get so addicted to pot that they become unmotivated, uncaring, and lazy.
You know them...we all do...those potheads who spend all their money of weed and spend all their hours smoking up in a run down apartment.

heh...well maybe all this is a little extreme!
 
Been there, done that, clawed my way out of it again

It's not big, and it's not clever. But by the same token I'm not afraid to say that I've been there and I've done that. And you're all completely right - there is nothing cool about it at all.

However, I would like to distance myself somewhat from the 'social' takers. The people, who for whatever reason, decide that a high on a night out is worth gambling your life for. And, of course, not just your life, but the life of your families, friends and relatives. But if that's what floats your boat, then feel free. If your life is worth so little, then you're right, one more drink can't hurt, and one little pill isn't dangerous. Waking up in a gutter is fun, and realising that you don't even know your name *what a thrill!!! I don't think.:no:

I was lucky. I had a problem, which is surprising, considering I'm young. But nearly 2 years ago, I developed a habit when things got too bad for me. I'm a depressive, and sometimes everybody needs a crutch. That was mine. Anything, you name is, alcohol, dope, drugs, painkillers. Anything to stop the sort of hurting that I had inside. And that's one 'good' thing about something like that. You end up so incapable that most of the time people will just tidy up around you and put you to bed. One time I wasn't so lucky, and it was a 'short' habit of about 4 months, but one time someone didn't pick me up afterwards.

I have an addictive personality, and habits grow on me. And suddenly, when I thought I was fun and cool to be around, I had to look at where I'd got myself. No fun:no: Suddenly I had to look at all the people I'd ever been rude to, upset, made passes at, and without my crutch. And much fun as it was (I don't think) I got through it. :grin:

And there is nothing wrong with being afraid of people who are out of it. They're unpredictable, and can be dangerous. But on the other hand, please remember that sometimes they're just crying out for help in a language that nobody understands.

I'm 'clean' now. I drink in moderation and smoke. Moderation is a difficult thing to handle, but it's possible. And before you all go running scared, don't worry, I'm not a scary mofo with a broken family and an abusive personality. I'm just someone who got lost for a while.

Now, who's for a lemon tart? :lemon:

pot addictive? yes and no

Well, yes and no. Pot does not cause your brain to form a chemical or physical addiction as does cocaine, speed, heroin, etc etc. Pot can cause some people to become psychologically addicted as they remember the good times they had while high and want more, associating good times with being high. But its not a phsyical or chemical addiction per se.

You can break the psychological addiction to pot very easily by just quitting for a couple of weeks. The first couple of days you'll probably be crabby, but then as time goes on you are more than likely to experience good times that did not involved being high, and you go, hey, I guess I dont have to be high to enjoy myself.

Cocaine and heroin etc are way different. Just try going cold turkey off those drugs, its near impossible.

Then again, I could be wrong, thats happened before...rarely..LOL...

Yeah.. pretty much. I think it also depends on the person too. Some people have more addicting personalities than others. I see it more like an occasional treat rather than something I need cuz I definatly can live without it. By the way not that its anyone's business but I've smoked for about 10 years and I'm not stupid nor do I have a bad memory and all that other garbage they say about people who smoke. :p

And Sula.. lol :up:
