Whenever I befriended someone on drugs, they usually stole from me. They would theaten to end their lives when I wanted to end the friendship. They'd lie about everything. They'd abuse their kids. I know there might be some out there who aren't bad. I just don't want to hang out with them anymore. Is it normal?
I think pot is okay, although for now I'm only vaping CBD flower for pain, and anxiety, but hard drugs really disgust me. Unfortunately a lot of people who use hard drugs will hide it from you if they know you disapprove. Let's not get it twisted though, I'm not keen on people who abuse any substance. There are plenty are scary ass, hardcore alcoholics out there who just plain need to sober up, and start going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and there are even people who smoke way too much weed out there.
I get really turned off by people who get so intoxicated that they become destructive, lie, steal and are just plain unpleasant to be around. I do, however, think that most hardcore substance abusers have a history of abuse, neglect and other trauma that stems from their families of origin. It's very sad, and I want them to get help, but it's not good for me to enable them by drinking, or smoking weed with them.
I once had a friend who got me to pick her up from a bar, and drive her home, because she was really drunk. On the ride home she freaked out, and started talking, then screaming, and crying about past abuse that she endured in her childhood while kicking, and punching my glove compartment. My glove compartment never opened normally for as long as I owned that car, which was four more years. Yep, no good deed goes unpunished. I'm not going to waste my time with drunks like that again. I'm not responsible for such people, if I don't feel like getting involved with helping someone like that, and something happens it's not, because I didn't help, but because that person's bad behavior, and poor decisionmaking as a result of the addiction finally caught up with them. I'm not responsible for, nor obligated to people who might harm me, or my property.
