To have picked up a spliff in the playpark

Took DD to the park this morning - first thing she wanted to go on was the basket swing thing. I saw a very large spliff in the basket so popped it into my pocket before lifting her into it. Then I noticed two youngish men with a little girl - the men were walking around obviously looking for something 😂😂😂. One of them gave me a few sideways looks, but it’s not like they could come up to middle-aged mumsy me to ask if I’d picked up their spliff. Twats.

Why did you pick it up and what are you planning on doing with it?

unlimiteddilutingjuice · 28/10/2018 15:25

Thats very funny. Are you going to have a little chillax with it once the kids are in bed?

Aprilsinparis · 28/10/2018 15:28

So, where is it now?

The problem with Other Peoples Drugs, is you have no idea what's in them ....

Tattandthis · 28/10/2018 15:33

Why didn't you give it them back if they were looking for it Confused

Would you keep their dropped packet of cigs? Or mobile?

Surely that's just stealing?

Why are they twats?

I suffered from agoraphobia and PTSD.
Weed helps me live a more normal life.

Ansumpasty · 28/10/2018 15:35

So the question is, are you going to smoke it?

User12879923378 · 28/10/2018 15:37

Why are the men who left illegal drugs on a swing in a playground full of children stupid, you say?

AamdC · 28/10/2018 15:38

What exactly are you going to do with it , yes weed is illegal, but its not up to you to police other people's behaviour Hmm

BigRedBoat · 28/10/2018 15:38

Had they already had some? If so that's quite gross - it's been in a strangers mouth! Also how can you be sure what's in there? Putting things you find in the park in your mouth is generally a bad idea!

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 28/10/2018 15:38

Why are they twats?

Maybe because they lost a spliff in a children's play area?

confusedandemployed · 28/10/2018 15:39

Oh Christ here we go again. It's one poxy spliff not half a kilo of skag.
I just couldn't feel superior to someone because their drug of choice isn't mine.
And no I'm not a toker.

DGRossetti · 28/10/2018 15:39

I have visions of the "twats" calling the police, and the OP finding themselves being stopped; turning out their pockets and the police finding said "doobie" ....

Is this yours ?
No, I found it in the seat for the swings
Oh, really ?
Yes, it's not mine !
Oh, really .....?!?!

OscarWildesGreenCarnation · 28/10/2018 15:41

For God's sake don't smoke it, you have no idea what's in it! Chuck it ASAP.... Fair enough to get rid of it from any public place, let alone a playground. Am not 'against' weed, BTW, just wouldn't touch anything if I didn't know the source.

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 28/10/2018 15:42

I assume the OP picked it up so that a child didn't, not that she got lucky and is going to have a smoke later.

Buster72 · 28/10/2018 15:42

The issue is not adults using cannabis, it is the appropriateness of using cannabis in a children's playground and leaving the detritus for others to clean up. You wouldn't drink a half a bottle of wine and then leave the remainder on the swing would you?

Sisgal · 28/10/2018 15:45

First off, smoke it and chill the F out. Secondly, no one calls it a spliff these days..

AamdC · 28/10/2018 15:47

But thats why the men were looking for it too pick it up Buster? Any way Op how do you know what a "Spliff " looks like?

Charley50 · 28/10/2018 15:50

Ha ha finders keepers! @Sisgal they 'still' call it a spliff where I live (London).
OP, my dp saw someone drop a small bag of weed at the petrol station the other day. Naughty man he picked it up and kept it.

Ansumpasty · 28/10/2018 15:54

@sisgal, what do ‘they’ call it?

CharlotteFlax · 28/10/2018 15:56

I know plenty of people who call them spliffs!

ElizabethMainwaring · 28/10/2018 15:58

Yes, what is the current name for a spliff? Please tell.

Charley50 · 28/10/2018 15:58

Yeah @Sisgal what do 'they' call it? A doobie?

Limensoda · 28/10/2018 15:59

Errrm....they do.

EachandEveryone · 28/10/2018 15:59
