Many, many people took recreational drugs in the 90s. Where are they now?

[perhapsiwill]

I'm not a drug addict and none of my friends were at the time, we just took Es at the weekend, sometimes other drugs. We all went to work or college, seemed like everyone else did this too. We had a great time, weekends were for dancing and hugging, I didn't get on with drunk people and one night stands and it suited me much better.
I moved away from where I grew up, nice area to another nice area.
When I mention partying in my youth to other mums where I live now, they look at me as if I'm an addict who needs help .
Are they all pretending? There were thousands of us doing this so where are they now? And why do people who never took drugs appear to feel so morally superior? One of the women where I live openly talks about cheating the system financially yet looks at me like I'm scum because I went out and had fun 20 years ago. (And probably once a year now!) I feel that because I mentioned this one evening in a pub I have alienated myself from the local mums.

Psycho That bass drop

Here's another fave - saw underworld last year at the roundhouse, Karl Hyde is just amazing.

Oh I saw leftfield too. Brilliant!

❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️👏👏👏👏👏👏😜😜 is how I feel in emojis listening to all this stuff.

mad to do ecstasy with your husband on a night off from the kids is shocking. And not in a good way.

Why on Earth would it be "shocking" what a woman does with her lawfully wedded husband, especially when not in charge of their children? What business is it of yours? Seriously

And then people get offended when it is pointed out that this behaviour is called "pearl clutching".

What do you mean what business is it of mine? She posted it on a public forum, inviting response. What a ridiculous question.

It shocked me that people with young dependants would take ecstasy. I wasn't screaming for SS to intervene, was I? What I said was in no way pearl clutching. Defensive much?

This was a fabulous night in Brighton.

Well I only ever did weed and poppers, and I turned out fine. I'm a teacher now, in the SLT.

I think most people just sort of grew out of it.

Great tune perhapsiwill
Are we in the spangled chillout room now? 😉

Frankie it's getting late now, so yes.

Spangled is such a Bad Word, for ages I thought it meant sparkly like rhinestones.

And drift away in a haze.....

Oops I meant

Reach for the lazers, safe as fuck

I have to share this with you!

20years later and this gives me goosebumps..

That was wonderful. Thanks everyone .
I will endeavour to pick what I share with my new mummy friends in future or just stick to going out with my old mates who are all a bit dodgy and not at all judgy.
I like to be open with people but it seems there are lots of things that I have chosen to do differently to some people and will keep my mouth shut now. Unless of course I spot the secret codes.
