To take recreational drugs in your 50s

I’m a hardcore 90s raver.my husband grew up in the 80s and tells multiple stories of fighting in nightclubs. I’d never condone My children taking drugs but I know whose history I’d prefer they experienced

Rehab was for booze, never addicted to drugs. So by that reasoning alcohol is far more dangerous than drugs. You don’t often hear of men beating their partners to death while on ecstasy/mdma, however the stats for alcohol-fuelled domestic violence is through the roof

I used to keep mine in matchbox,far more hygienic.

Not the point of the thread but I've just googled, and they're absolutely adorable. Like little rainbow sweeties in all shapes. Like Lucky Charms cereal. thats been up your mates ass

Es are tiny if I remember correctly why would you feel the need to shove em up the jacksey 💩

Just heading to the toilet to wait for Dave to shit out our MDMA. And middle aged men take ages in the shitter.

Did he not have pockets/ couldn't have put them down his pants? Could one of the women not have put it in their bra? I'm struggling to believe "ass" was the only suitable place for a couple of pills.

Drugs are illegal, and cause a lot of harm. It is perfectly reasonable to be anti-drugs. I personally don’t drink but I don’t mind others who do, I refuse to be around drugs though.

Everyone judges btw, it’s what every human needs to do to assess the kind of humans they have around them!

And if you were in rehab for drugs you must be fully aware of what a slippery slope taking them can be.

Didn’t realise MN was so anti-drugs & judgemental (although should’ve guessed). I don’t think people over 25 do drugs because they “think it’s cool” 🤣 I think they do it to have a good time. Why is it any different to alcohol? It’s ok for someone in their 50s to have a few beers down the pub but not ok to do a bit of MDMA?. Guaranteed the MDMA makes you far less of a dick than being drunk does. I kind of thought almost everyone (maybe not as they got older but at least in their youth did drugs at least a few times) meh just me then?! I’d try not to judge someone in their 50s doing it because it’s their life, maybe they’re getting closer to realising their own mortality and are thinking fuck it let’s have a good time and why not? Although to be honest I probably wouldn’t be able to help myself judging a little if I saw a 50-year-old man chewing his face off at 3am surrounded by 19-year-olds. Yeah..would feel a little grossed out. Wish I could be free of judgement but clearly I’m not.

Regarding whoever said people who do drugs are “lower class” or whatever, that’s total BS, they are prevalent in every single social class. Some of the most interesting, successful and creative people I’ve ever met in my life I met in rehab 😀

Humans have used drugs as far back as you can trace. Indigenous cultures all have a history of it. They are by and large, fun and enjoyable on a recreational basis. Hence the huge popularity!

Banning it is no different to the moral panic of prohibition. Eventually overturned due to the sheer enjoyment of the drug effect being demanded by so many. Alcohol is an ‘easy’ drug to dip in and out of. Much like cannabis. MDMA and the like you’re in for a little more of the long haul. Harder to have a swift partake on a Friday lunch.

Unfortunately some ‘more to the right’ people have a weird pious attitude towards drug taking. It is clear it’s based on nothing other than pure judgementalism as otherwise they’d be campaigning for legalisation to overcome the ethical issues they so passionately care (about whilst shopping Shein.) These are usually the same people downing their Prosecco waxing lyrical about dirty drug takers.

Except that where this poster lives it’s legal so nobody is really ranting about suppression 🤷‍♀️

Exactly and if it's cocaine and Alcohol is also consumed it changes the chemical make up in your body thus increasing chance of a heart attack.
Bad,bad idea tooting in your 50s.

Re Canada & their laws - how quickly has Mark Carney got back into the local culture?! …only excuse for his capitulation to the first step of being the next US State?… sorry, couldn’t resist - had such better expectations of him.

@Princessconsuelabananahammock9 Marijuana helps with chemo, with a myriad of health conditions, physical and mental.

It also causea a myriad of health conditions, and when people write stuff like this it reminds me of the embarassing "420" crowd who think that marijuana is a secret wonder drug that cures all diseases which is being suppressed by "the system."

Anyone for sugar?

My understanding is that the sniffer dogs at most large scale festivals are there for explosives, not drugs - we had a lovely chat with the security on our way into a major UK festival with a campervan a couple of years ago. They confirmed we could have taken actual kilograms of weed or coke to distribute as that’s not what they’re looking for (for clarity, we didn’t and weren’t).

Ethical reasons aside I can’t get worked up about drug taking at a gig. I do draw the line at bum-drugs though; I don’t take drugs at all any more but the easiest way to get them in was always to just… put them in my pocket. We go to a lot of gigs and they have a cursory glance into your bag, it all feels a bit extra and dramatic to put it up someone’s arse.

🤣🤣🤣

I would find them pathetic and sad, but the hypocrisy would be even worse.

Maybe because I’m Canadian and it’s legal but most wealthy people I know smoke weed. Wealthy and educated.

It sounds like you have been exposed to a small sample size.

Also some of us prefer edibles so we don’t smell like weed.

On the other hand I don’t drink. Ever. When I was in England I was surprised by the culture around alcohol.

@Isthisokdoyouthink Bunch of married fathers going out and taking recreational drugs (concealed up one of them’s rectum) - one hid it from his wife, one has a wife that does it too

I completely bemused as to why men like this are selected by women.

Good one!

Awww, you're adorable. 😆

@BatchCookBabe two edits on that post? My goodness. I'm flattered.

Bless. 😂

Seriously?

You went back and edited to deliver this?

Go back to telling us all about lights on Christmas trees or whatever you were babbling about earlier. You sounded as ever, very well informed on your opinions.
