Druggie
    #20990479 - 12/17/14 05:07 PM (9 years, 4 months ago)

Do you consider yourself a "druggie"?  Or do you feel like people think of you and look down at you as being one?


I'm starting to feel like that's become my defining label as a person when all I take is mxe and gbl maybe once a week.  I drink irregularly and don't even smoke pot.
Obviously someone else's opinion about me doesn't matter, but it's disconcerting when people start to label me as one and it makes me question my own drug use.
Especially when the same people who think that are people who are constantly smoking pot.

Whats a 'druggie'? Someone who uses drugs? Then yes, along with 95% of the population.

I just think its an ignorant term. If i'm a druggie for smoking DMT then so is anyone whos taking prozac or ritalin. Weed and booze, sure why not?

I don't remember people using the word since school. Even then it was only used by people who avoided illegal drugs, but would drink themselves into comas at the weekend. People who use the word are highly ignorant and hypocritical ime.

Why can you convince a man to charge into a battle that will most likely kill him?  Why don't people just curl up and cry and act like a pansy and refuse to go?

It is because social pressure and the fear of not being accepted is more powerful than even the fear of death.  (I mean, I don't know how many times I thought about killing myself, but stopped because people would misunderstand me and think badly about it).

Seriously though, humans are programmed to find and try to fit into some slot in the the social hierarchy.  This is one of the most powerful forces we have to deal with.  The people that attempt to control society and manipulate others (aka The Man) know this and use it to try to force people into submission.

You should not feel bad about using drugs in ways that are probably healthier and more rewarding that most folks.  Yet you do.  You don't fear arrest and punishment nearly as much as you fear becoming a "druggie" in the eyes of others.

My advice is to face the social forces, understand how they work, and then become transparent to them.  Don't fight them or overcome them.  Reach the point where you don't even notice all the little social games and attempts at control that take place.

Let other people try to peg you into this ego slot, or that ego slot.  Walk around completely oblivious to it all, totally free to be yourself and make your choices with being influenced by others at all.  Then you will be free, or at least as free as it is possible to be while still being human and subject to physical influence.

I think certain people look down on me and would class me as a "druggie" even though I only really smoke weed. I dabble in other drugs but I keep that on the down-low.

I'm always too high to care what they think.

Druggie carries such negative connotations

I prefer to refer to myself as a connoisseur of psychoactive chemicals

Fuck yeah I'm a druggie.

This is an interesting topic.

When/if I tell the majority of people I meet that I drink socially and smoke weed they never look down on me as a druggie. Even when the occasional bag of coke comes into the mix; generally people are cool with it.

Now godforbid I tell them that I am a fan of mushrooms and psychedelics in general, then I immediately get the stink-eye and am outcast into the junkie stratosphere.

All my coworkers who are potheads freaked out when I said I like LSD cuz they are  literally too stupid to know that smoking weed every day is not "better for you" than taking an occasional dose, God only knows what their rationale is. Probably just the Hollywood acceptance of weed, or the fact that it is "natural, man". Needless to say I am just going to keep my personal life to myself from now on. The fucked up thing is now they think of ME as a druggie when I am literally one of like 3 people who works there that doesn't do drugs. The managers don't trust me because I have long hair and rumor  have been spread so anytime money goes missing they wanna count MY drawer and it always comes out perfect. I'm like, you idiots, count the pothead's drawer, he is the one stealing so he can go buy bud. But I just keep my mouth shut and drop little hints from time to time about who I think can be trusted. honestly I wish they would drug test everyone in the store just so I could show my manager how wrong his suspicions about me are. Just because a person doesn't fit into a stereotype doesn't mean they are on drugs. Ugh I am getting frustrated talking about it

People love to judge from appearance.

I smoke weed and drink beer, I also eat psychedelics on occasion. I'm no druggie though, I actually work a full time job at a ski resort and dudes having long hair is very common here.

No I don't consider myself a "druggie" never have. My drug use has always been casual, all I've done is smoke weed, eat shrooms, maybe enjoy some pills once in a while but I've never over done it. All I do is drink now though, I think my drug days are behind me for the most part.
