I feel like telling a story and also it’s honestly probably the best method of convincing people to not do drugs or alcohol so here’s a story from a couple years ago
Okay so I hate the taste of alcohol but when I quit doing weed I drank a lot until I felt better, basically if the cravings got bad I’d get drunk and it was mostly vodka I was using
So one night I was gonna go downtown on the night bus and decided to drink but didn’t want to walk to the bus drunk so I pounded back 5 shots of 35% alc vodka and ran to the bus stop before it hit, I felt normal for a bit but it was a while before the bus came so I can remember ditching my shirt for a bit and just sitting there in my binder trying to figure out what I was doing before I saw the bus pull up and my next memory is waking up at home, no clue what I did or how I got back
There were also a couple times I got drugged weed, I think the second worst I took a normal dose and then woke up 2 days later with some faint memories of hallucinations
The worst time I knew it was drugged but didn’t want to deal with what had been going on in my head so I kept myself out of it for like 3-4 days, I don’t remember anything from around 3 days of it just the beginning and the end of it, I know I talked to people, went places but I have no idea what I did for 3 days
Greening out on weed you know is drugged is more terrifying though, did that once and wasn’t totally sure if I was greening out or over dosing but I had a smart watch so I checked that, my heart rate didn’t go below 210 bpm for 10 minutes so I just layed down since I refused to go to a hospital, I figured I’d either wake up feeling better in the morning or my roommate would find my corpse, but I didn’t know what was in it so I didn’t know what else to do since I couldn’t let anyone know how bad I was doing at the time
All that started when I was 19 and I stopped doing weed not long before I turned 21, I’m 22 now and I don’t even like drinking or doing anything like that now, it’s weird how people change, but seriously if you have a problem call someone, don’t do what I did, don’t risk being a body for someone to find in the morning, and don’t drug yourself so you don’t remember, it doesn’t last, and it’s not fun not knowing what you did for days at a time, I don’t know how I didn’t get kidnapped or anything but if something bad happened to me during that time I wouldn’t even know which is horrifying
