Middle-aged professional women doing drugs on the weekend

[Snookerfan]

Is this common now? I was invited to a house party Saturday night and snow was being done quite openly, there were also Mary Jane vapes and Ecstasy passed around.

These were mainly mothers with adult grown sensible families. What is going on, am I totally not with it?

Was it always this way or is this scene infiltrating a different demographic now?

We always knew people like this did this, but was it this open and accepted?

I didn’t partake, still a great night.

Exactly , making it sound like harmless fun … it’s disgusting.

What no reefers or bennies?

"Dude" 😑

Same. I believe the younger generation do this too - very understandable as I truly have no idea how a broke 20-something in London could even afford to get tipsy these days except at home.

I remember the first time I went clubbing, doing MDMA and only having one beer all night. Not a trace of a hangover the next day. Of all the things I've ever done, overdoing booze makes you feel the worst by a mile.

What's ridiculous? You really think just because someone got older and works a professional job that means they have to spend their time bird watching and knitting?

Uptight bunch on here

And btw I dont do drugs neither am I middle aged or working a professional job. Its just the fact you think because your job is professional you and your fellow professionals should behave better than everyone else 😂
FFS there are doctors out there addicted to their own morphine you have no idea

Sorry to be a dick but I love Alan Partridge.

They’re sex people Lyn!

There was a big local party near me last year and both the local GP and scout leader were doing coke...

It’s mad isn’t it?!

I don't think you can say a scene has infiltrated exactly! Presumably these women are generation X, inventors of rave?!

Of course they can maintain their figures drinking that much at a weekend. They will probably have gym memberships and eat healthy the rest of the week.

You clearly have some difficulty understanding this is not a moral judgement on drugs per se, rather a judgement on the selfish pricks who choose to turn a blind eye to what goes on to get drugs to your house. Knock yourselves out doing whatever you want but don’t do it at the expense of kids and vulnerable adults whose lives are ruined by people like you.

I know of two people who’ve died suddenly from coke. Both mums to school age dc. Incredibly sad. Wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole myself.

Recent chat with friend's year old grandson elicited the information that his long time best friend had parted from his girlfriend. "Yeah, they were invited to a party at her parents house. Her mum brought out a bowl of coke to share around and her dad kept making dodgy jokes about how much his daughter could earn on Only Fans. Bit of a culture clash, he wasn't keen." Oh, for the days when potential in-laws just offered you tea and biscuits.

I'm in my twenties and not a professional am I allowed to use drugs in your opinion? Or do you just moan when it's a middle aged professional? Why does it matter to you the age or the profession of the drug user?
Like I said though there's middle aged doctors addicted to their own morphine is that acceptable to you because it's not black market?

I'm genuinely curious here you're either for or against drugs you dont have rules for people with different ages and jobs.

Oh fuck no I'm 39 and my drug days are over. I do know alot of people still taking lines when they drink but no one in their 50s.

I don’t think this is new, no. It’s definitely been a thing for a very long time. But you’ve clearly hit a certain demographic and social network where you are discovering it for the first time. Not my cup of tea and I steer clear, but yes, it’s very much out there amongst MC middle aged professionals. Some of them. The rest of us though are sober and going wild swimming and booking yoga retreats. 😂

@ItShouldntHappenToMeYet It wasn't outrage more confusion. I have had my festival and clubbing days and I'd say E isn't really the ideal end of dinner party drug!

Nothing wrong with a post-prandial joint. Better than a glass of port!

Completely unacceptable for a teacher to be taking drugs. Had a teacher friend whose housemate was a bit of a coke head and she was so stressed about it and had to move as soon as she could. She literally brought books home to mark. You want your kids books in a home where there’s traces of coke? Teacher doesn’t deserve a job being a role model to young people.

I couldn’t give the tiniest of shits how old people are who do drugs. However the parents who have drugs delivered to their homes by kids on bikes when their own kids are tucked up safely in bed particularly get on my tits. Hope that clears things up for you.

Not me or my friend's norm and I avoid those that support county lines, which is what this behaviour does, albeit further down the supply line, always!

I don’t think you can be a good person and take drugs. It’s pretty much the least ethical thing you can buy. And yes, I do judge middle class professionals more harshly when their kids are more likely to be protected from being groomed into county lines gangs and less likely to be stabbed over turf wars, and they think it’s all a bit of fun and congratulate themselves on being unlike the other boring people their age. Good luck to them if one of their children ends up an addict.

Cross posted; you said it better.

Re my post above, I see the number 18 has omitted itself. Friends grandson is 18 years old. Not 'a year' old 🙄
