Hashish was the first dope I ever smoked. I was so stoned I couldn't stand up. The arsehole bf that gave it to me put me in bed then went out with his mates.

Nice.

Could have been a lot worse...


Back 20 years ago, an ounce cost about $300.

Now, $200 to 250.

No kidding.

This thread couldn't be more spare of actual personal vice if it had been posted by non-pederast priests.

hey, at least he and his mates dinna get in there with you, neh?

First time I smoked any kind of dope (no idea what was in it, very likely hashish as I knew who supplied it) was in a Beer Garden. I was 16 and had had a couple of brandy & Babyshams (don't ask).

After five minutes the world started convulsing and so did my stomach, I went out the front to get some air and was sick on the steps.

The barmaid was disgusted and ordered my friends and I to clean it up. I felt a lot better after puking and found the whole thing quite funny. Even looking back I don't feel the burning shame that accompanies much lesser transgressions. I remember my friends being quick to reassure her that it wasn't because of the drink, I usually held my drink very well, I wasn't drunk. They were terrified I'd get them barred, and it was the best under-age pub in the village.

Of course the barmaid didn't give a toss at that point. She just didn't want any would-be customers (or indeed anyone) seeing vomit on her steps, and she certainly wasn't going to clean them herself.

I didn't mix alcohol and dope for many, many years, and was very wary for a lot longer.

The one time I smoked (or remember smoking) hashish, '94 I think, was at a party where I didn't know anyone, and the people I came with...well, I had no idea what happened to them. Most likely, they weren't far away from me the whole time.

After what seemed like hours, but was probably only 20 minutes or so, I thought I should call a trusted friend I'd known since college to come pick me up. Except that the friend I'd decided to call was, at that point, a cop. He had lots of fun with that one at my expense for a loooong time after.
