Middle-aged professional women doing drugs on the weekend

Truly pathetic bunch of morons. It’s time as a society we wake up to the devastation it is causing and the barbaric criminals supplying drugs.

This

Not the kind of company I would want to keep. I don’t even drink alcohol

An ex's social circle was like this. I knew them for the best part of 20 years and I suspect it's the same as it ever was.

I found them snobby bores mainly, all shagged each other, bit bitchy, inherited wealth. Not for me.

I'd much rather talk about the pedestrianisation of Norwich town centre.

I know people like this. Not close friends but like to boast about drug taking and their hot tub (sex pond). They think they are very cool and clever. Love talking about how wasted they were. The rest of us find it a bit sad and depressing.

There is no such thing as ‘sensible’ drug use. I know dealers- they cut it with all kids of shit and don’t care!!! Laundry detergents, talc, fentanyl even.
even cannabis is now mixed with synthetic agents to make it stronger.

@Marmiteontoastgirlie I totally agree you are either in a druggy circle or drug free circle. One of my friends started dating a new partner who did not believe at first that my friend had never tried any drug. Everyone she knew takes drugs, whereas in my circle practically no one does.

I think this situation is pretty common among high earners in big cities, anyone who partied in their younger days etc. Did no one see how they found traces of coke in every bathroom in parliament or something?

I think there are plenty of circles where no one would blink an eye at sensible (in a social setting and occasional) drug use. Equally, judging by the reaction on MN whenever this comes up, there are plenty of drug free circles and there doesn’t seem to be much overlap.

I 100% second this.

I've seen this at several house parties over the last few years. It's been more of a case of a handful of people heading into a room and having a line each than openly doing it in the main areas. I've come across it twice when looking for the host so I could thank them before heading off, and once when retrieving my coat as I was cold at a bbq.

It's not something I'd want to get involved in, and I don't drink but I've no issue with either as long as the participants are driving or responsible for kids.

I would say that I've been around a lot more worryingly out of control people or nasty behaviour caused by alcohol than drugs.

I do not know anyone who does this. But I would not hang out with anyone who does drugs. And no I did not get it out of my system in my youth, I did not do it then either.

Drugs at home on a weekend with friends sounds pretty sad. Fine for a night out or festival but not at home.

It really wouldn’t. I work in Belfast. Drugs are controlled by paramilitaries. If you think they will just go away you are delusional.
It is all very well having lefty ideals but believe me until yoh have spent time with deprived communities with decades of trauma you have no idea how horrendous drugs actually are. They mess with peoples brains leading to suicides and even more lives destroyed. Get into the real world.

thats the thing, you just never know whos truly who

Microdosing is a different thing though isn't it? They are doing this privately for mental health purposes.

Loafs will. Loads wont

Oh yes and the ‘shrooms, forgot about that - plenty of middle class mums doing that round here (different group to the coke heads I mentioned upthread)

And hard yes. Legalisation of drugs would stop all these issues and we should all be asking for it like this

No thank you, I'm not going to join in your sex festival!

🤣🤣🤣

I’m actually more surprised at the amount of people who don’t seem to believe or understand this post, and are making fun of the OP, when actually, they’re the ones who seem to be living in the past. To be clear, OP isn’t from the 70’s - ‘Mary Jane Vapes’ is a brand name for a very expensive UK atomiser for cannabis.

And for those who don’t seem to know - yes, there has actually been a huge uptake of drugs in the middle classes. Mushrooms especially are now the ‘yummy mummy’ drug of choice, presumably aligning with the rise in ‘micro-dosing’. Yes, rather than a few bottles of wine, you’ll find a lot of the middle class/upper class mums are doing shrooms and cannabis as standard at their get togethers.

But this thread isn’t about taking crack?

and of course all drug addicts started….not as drug addicts. But by that logic you’d be intercepting everyone ordering a wine in case they ended up drinking at 8am with their cornflakes. Have a grown up think here.!

Evidently wouldn’t be embarrassed to do it with their mates no otherwise they wouldn’t be doing it, But they’d be embarrassed to know other people knew they were doing it (people they portray themselves rather differently to and want to keep that facade with) otherwise they’d be saying “oh yeh going out tonight for a few drinks then home home for a few lines. You?”

I've literally just finished watching a documentary about violence in Sweden, due to the prevalence of drugs. It's honestly chilling. I'd be asking anyone to reconsider their drug usage, or at least try to think about what their money is being used for.

It might seem a bit of fun in a middle class life. Meanwhile kids are getting shot if they try to leave the drug gangs, innocents get killed in crossfire and violence spreads like wildfire. Easy to ignore when not at your doorstep but it's closer than you think.

A bottle of wine is absolutely not the same as smoking crack.
Cannabis can have very serious impact on those who already have poor mental health.
No one knows what drugs are cut with hence them being way more risky.
I work with drug addicts on a daily basis- they all started as teens as ‘recreational’ users. Their lives are now destroyed- kids removed, not a pot to piss in and mental health in bits on the days they do manage to not use.
