I had planned my weekend to be a nice quiet one. Relaxing with the dogs and playing a bit of music, as my car had drained all my funds the week before.
But as has happened in the past, 'a nice quiet one' turned into a weekend of free substance taking.
I'll give you a brief bit of my substance taking history so we're on the same level.
I have been taking ecstasy, speed and weed on and off for the past 2 years or so. But haven’t tried any other psychedelics or amphetamines (although I hope to in the near future).
And until about 3 months ago I had been clean of any drugs for a good 10 months, thanks to some personal problems due to the word 'moderation' not being included in my minds dictionary. Something i'm sure we've all experienced before.
Recently though I’ve decided to enjoy drugs in moderation and have some nice safe fun while I’m young.
And this is how the weekend begins:
Friday Night-
Left work at the usual time and just planned a nice night in front of the tele. All went to plan and I spent the night playing a bit of guitar and just winding down after the working week.
Saturday-
Slept in until about 12, I love my sleep :) . And started the day with a swim and a wash of the automobile.
I spent the remainder of the day wandering around the house, cleaning and listening to music. By about 6pm I was getting a bit restless and wishing I had the money to go out.
So I paced around the house some more, and decided I’d check out foxtel to see if a good movie was on. Just as my bum touched the couch cushions my mobile rumbled and began to dance on the table.
I picked it up and was greeted with a very happy sounding friend, D, telling me to come down to Manly to a mates gathering. I told him about my money flow problem and he said he'd give me money for petrol and we could have a smoke.
After some more convincing on his part, I agreed I’d come down after I’d cooked a quick meal.
I grabbed a quick pie from the kitchen, locked all the doors and jumped in the car.
Saturday Night-
I arrived at Manly around 30 minutes later and met my mate at the party. We chilled outside for awhile and had a chat about his new job while he rolled a joint.
9.30pm -As we were sitting on the grass smoking, a few friends came out that I hadn't seen in ages and joined us for a little bit of chit chat. We all finished up and headed in feeling nice and cruisy.
Inside was a different scene, lots of drunk people being extremely rowdy, but I was in a good mood so I was having fun socialising.
10.00pm - Soon after, a couple of other mates rocked up who'd been smoking ice earlier. We formed a little group on the grass and spent the next hour and a half talking crap and catching up.
One of my mates then reminded us that the Newcastle v Chelsea match was on in half an hour, I suggested we watch at my place on the big TV and everyone agreed.
So we piled 6 people into my little tx3 and made our way back to my place.
11.50pm - When we arrived a mate informed that he wanted to pickup some more ice and if I’d drive him he'd shout me for the night.
So we left about 5 of them at my place to smoke ice, weed and watch the game. And we headed out to pickup.
12.50pm - After an hour of driving we got back to my place just in time to see the last ten minutes of the match. 2-1 Newcastle. Go the mighty black and whites :D
While, X, the mate I had taken to pickup, fixed up the ice D and I went out the back to have a few cones.
1.00am - We chilled out there for awhile just chatting and smoking. We came back in a started watching something on the history channel about war. D was looking quite stoned and I was feeling quite relaxed but not overly stoned.
1.10am - X called me over to the kitchen where all the boys were tooting and I had a few toots with them.
-I'll do my best to start the timeline from here and describe the events and happenings-.
T+15, I was feeling chatty and pretty high after having two toots. Although I felt cruisy at the same time. (Sorry I can't give exactly how much I had as I really have no idea how much was in the two toots). Let’s say a few crushed up crystals in each, leaving a little pile and giving off a fair amount of smoke.
T+30, I couldn’t sit still watching the history channel anymore so I headed upstairs to listen to some music and play some pool with some of the other guys. D still remained on the couch.
T+60, We’d played a game of pool or two and had been chatting throughout. I was still feeling really chatty, but instead of feeling somewhat relaxed and chatty like 45 minutes earlier I began to feel a bit on edge. Like I didn’t know what to do with myself. Many thoughts racing through my head the same as 45minutes before, but feeling very indecisive as to what I wanted to be doing. If I wanted to be sitting, having a cigarette, standing, driving, playing pool. I couldn’t decide.
T+90, Still very chatty and wide-awake. It was around 2am by now. Everyone was upstairs and we were sitting out on the back deck smoking cigarettes and chatting. My indecisive, edginess was at the same level it was at 30 minutes ago. But now I had a craving to smoke more ice. My mate opted that we have another toot, we did and right after I felt the edge wear off and I was relaxed once again.
A couple of my other mates were attending Two Tribes that night and I got a call from them at 2ish asking if I could pick them up from Homebush in the morning. I said yes and we agreed to meet at 8am.
T+120, Still we all resided up stairs sitting around chatting about the current events of the world. I was feeling very high and buzzy, but once again edgy and craving more ice. I had a couple of cones and felt great. I was relaxed, still buzzing with energy but not so edgy.
By this time D had passed out on the balcony as he had been drinking since 12pm with some work mates.
T+150, Still very chatty, high and edgy once again.
T+180, (3.30am) I had one last toot and we played a few games of pool. The edge, once again, disappeared and I felt relaxed and content, although still buzzing.
Went spent the next hour having some really in depth conversations and enjoying each others company. (I’d go into more detail about the conversations, but I fear this is already getting extremely long J)
T+240, (4.30am) I started to come down now and felt some similar effects of an ecstasy come down but not as harsh. My brain was slightly scattered and sentences didn’t roll off the tongue so easily, but after an hour or so I felt clear headed and relatively ok for 0 sleep. I kept involved in the conversation as I was still considerably chatty and once I was over the come down hump I no longer felt edgy in the slightest.
T+300, (5.30am) I went for a shower, fearing the sun J, and got out feeling nice and clean, in the body and mind. We spent the next hour chatting and relaxing around the house. I then left the house at 6.30am to go pick up my mates, by this time feeling completely clear headed and wide awake.
When I reached homebush an hour or so later I had a rush of tiredness, so my mate gave me some speed and I had a few dips in the car.
We then headed back to my mates place and while 3 of the guys slept, A and I had a line of speed with a little crystal added from earlier and spent the day playing chess (well trying to), tennis on dreamcast and watching a movie.
He eventually plonked on the couch just as another mate woke up.
F and I played tennis and just relaxed until the others arose an hour or two later.
I dropped all the boys home that evening and arrived home to notice I was still a little high, I enjoyed the last little splirt playing with my dogs and was out like a light by 9pm.
Three days after now, I’m still very tired as I was up late on Monday night, and a bit scatter brained, but I always notice I have problems adequately articulating myself for a week or two after doing drugs.
So all in all it was a great little weekend, and thanks to some generous mates, a relatively free one J
I can’t really say I overly enjoyed smoking ice. It was a great night and I did want to try it, but I don’t think I really smoked enough to get a genuine high out of it.
The craving for more and edginess when the hit from the last toot wears off is a tad annoying especially for the drugs price. But it is definitely a more ‘real’ high compared to a drug like ecstasy. On ecstasy I think you tend to say things you don’t always mean, inhibitions knocked down or not. I agree that you say those things because your inhibitions are knocked down, but I think you say some things that you would usually be too scared to say, but you actually mean them. But on the other hand I think you say some things that you truly do not mean, to strangers for example.
But I felt when having conversations with all my mates that it was a more genuine level of connecting, an open sharing of opinions. Although being the kind of guys we are we have conversations like that whether we are on drugs or not. It’s just the drugs bring us together with a common excuse to sit around one night and have those conversations.
Thanks to anyone who just read all of that, sorry for the length.
Apologies also if I didn’t follow the guidelines properly, I wasn’t 100% sure on that. Feel free to edit it to correct if I’ve made mistakes.
Thanks.
