Might be all the stress in the world at the moment but it’s made me think about what I’d give for a couple of doves and the clammy hands that come with them. Don’t think my heart could take it now Sad

Somebody on this thread has never felt infinite love for a stranger and it shows.

God I miss that feeling of "oh, your depression? Check it in with the coats and pick it and your life back up tomorrow, tonight is just finally freedom to have fun without feeling selfconcious and judged".

I remember finding an armchair in my living room tremendously funny for no reason.
Of course there was a reason @LadyofTheManners, that armchair had always been hilarious, you just hadn't appreciated it before.Grin

To be fair it was lime green and had come from a skip.

Benjispruce2 Have you made that thread yet?

Skip furniture often has the best sense of humour.

Benjispruce2 · 05/10/2020 18:18

Bullies too. Nice. I’m not interested in making the thread. I suggested a better thread title as a pp tried to dress this thread up as a lobby to legalise drugs. But it’s not, it’s a glorification of taking dangerous substances that risked your lives and continues to do so, ending prematurely 3 lives this weekend. Until drugs are safer, you shouldn’t be on a public forum bragging about your poor choices.

Tragically heard on radio tonight {5th Oct 2020} that Four young people have died over the weekend after ''Taking 'E'''

One young woman supposedly took Ketamine.

It wouldn't be surprising for these drugs are not MDMA but the far more toxic PMA.

Young people need to be told that taking any 'Street' {illegal} pill/powder

is a risk, and obviously the safest is to take nothing.

Or buy a ''pill testing kit'' {online}.

I reak that. One of them is from here. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.Sad

It is awful. Any parent of teenagers worries about drugs. Even those parents who used them 'Back in their palmy youth'

The greatest dangers are toxins that are in them. {in pills} and of course, in the more serious drugs of addiction, fluctuating purity and contamination with Fentanyl.

Legalisation would cut deaths, in that pills and powders could be analysed and tested openly.

The legal aspect also takes away the ''Naughtiness'' that can be alluring as well.

Criminals who want to make a quick buck cook up some PMA and punt it out as MDMA.

They don't care for the health of the end user, just their bitcoin accounts.

Ah this thread has brought back such happy memories.

I wouldn’t say I miss the drugs I did but
I’m not going to apologize for the ‘stupid’ things I did as a teen. I was so young. In fact I’m glad I was there on that scene. It was beyond fun. And filled with so much love and music and happiness.

I was in Manchester in the late 80s/early 90s and frequented Hacienda, Bowlers, Back to Basics and a few of the provincial town clubs like Wigan Pier and Angels in Burnley. Flippin incredible places.

I took E a few times but more often speed and acid. I do realize now I was ‘reckless’ and would definitely not condone it to my own kids but it was there, everyone was doing it, I was young and indestructible. That thought process tends to come with youth!

Never took coke back then though. It wasn’t on the true rave scene at that time.

KnightsofColumbusThatHurt · 05/10/2020 19:37

How awful for those young people and their families Sad

PMA deaths were unknown then.

Also, young people DO feel they are indestructible.

This is why otherwise sensible, ''Head Girl/Head Boy'' types do it.

Peer pressure is also remarkably strong.
Away from home for the first time...
Drug dealers also tend not to be older, sinister strangers, but ''yer mate''.

At least at that level.

A public schoolboy in my youth was a 'hero' in our eyes...he was a seller of acid, weed and pharmaceutical speed. We thought he was so cool.

He went by the name of ''Animal''. Well spoken and polite...People's parents liked him.

Where would you even buy this nonsense from if you were a grown up and didn’t know any working class people or youngsters

You'd have to go down to the nearest poor person supermarket and look for a person wearing a tracksuit. Say "here, you boy! One wishes to acquire a tablet or two of ecstasy, might you know a purveyor? There's a shiny sixpence in it for you if you hurry!"

Never fails.

I'm sure it wouldn't be hard. I bet we all know someone who knows someone who deals. Walk into any city of a Saturday and you'll be offered I'm sure. At a PTA do about 7 years ago, I got offered coke by a normally quite sensible mum of two. You would be surprised how many people you know who could make a few calls. If they know you're not into it or never was, they won't let on. In fact, I'm about the only one in my current circle of very sensible people who doesn't smoke weed anymore.

What have ''Working class people'' got to do with it?

Drugs are everywhere. In every city, many villages and all towns.

Wherever there are people, there will be drugs and drink.

Class or age has nothing to do with it.

You are probably thinking of the sendup by Goldie Looking' Chain, @BubblyBarbara
Very witty lyrics with a health warning.
