OK so, since there's already one drug thread on the board...

[ms.peachy]

... lemme put this one to ya.

Let's say, purely hypothetically you understand, that it's about 8:30 in the morning and you are dropping your kid of at nursery on your way to work, and you cut through the park to get to the nursery, and as you are walking you see something an the pavement ahead and you think to yourself "Wow, that looks just like a little plastic bag containing three little wrapped up bits of paper like what cocaine comes in" (ahem... you've heard, not that you have any knowledge of these things personally...). And you get a few steps closer and you think to yourself "Hey, that is a little plastic bag containing three little wrapped up bits of paper like what cocaine comes in". So you look around, and you see that there is nobody else in the park.

What do you?

[abcdefz]

Pick them up -- that part's easy.

If I were doing cocaine, even on a binge (which I didn't), I don't think I'd do it. No idea what the stuff might be cut with. So it'd go in the toilet. Or I'd have my preschooler try some first to see if it was safe, then videotape the kid rolling her eyes back in her head while on the floor of my too-crowded SUV so I could post her silliness on YouTube.

If I weren't doing cocaine, it'd go in the toilet.

Well yes, quite LOL as upon seeing them it did occur to you that many children also cut through the park whilst walking to school, so leaving it there for one of them to potentially discover was not an option.

As Fonzie would say, EXACTAMUNDO!!!" (y)

Don't LOL too loud, though, because some folks honestly don't think of shit like that.

[cookiepuss]

yeah I gotta agree with A-Z...it would be very unwise to snort it...no telling if it actually is what it appears to be or if it's pure. unless you're some chemist type who can take it back to a lab and test it, the best bet is to get rid of it.

[Rock]

It could be smack too.

Reminds me of this one time I went to a "Rave" and this guy I was with found a sugar cube. He sat there for about 10 minutes staring at it wondering if he should take it or not. He did. And he had a good time.

I wouldn't leave it there, but I wouldn't ingest it. It could be some bunk shit, or some fatal shit. And like you said, some kid could pick it up.

[abcdefz]

I'd plant it on a politician.

[b i o n i c]

: did you do eet?

[ms.peachy]

It could be smack too.


That thought did occur to me. Erm, I mean, you.

I once worked at a Convenient Store ("Thank you, come again") and the "Marlboro Man" came to the store for some promotions. After he left he came back about an hour later and asked me if I saw a little bag around. I hadn't, so I told him that.
About a week later I was taking out the trash and saw a little sack of weed. I picked it up and laughed.

[abcdefz]

I left a little bag of grass inside an album I sold at a used store. Man, that sucked.

[Rock]

I once had a baggie in my pocket and it fell out when I got my keys to get in my car. I drove like 100 yards and realized it wasn't there and got worried that I left it sitting out at my parents house. So I quickly went around the block and headed back home and saw the baggie sitting in the road right where I parked and pulled a nicolas cage getting the diapers in Raising Arizona. The weird thing was my neighbors kids were playing right across the street. I don't think they noticed what happened, but still it was still a pretty lunch box moment.

This isn't DRUGS drugs, but a cigarette story Rock's anecdote reminded me of:

I was in 8th grade, wintertime, getting ready to go to someone's house to spend the night. We had a fort in his neighborhood where we could
hang out and smoke and drink and stuff.

Anyway, my mom was going to drive me so I'm standing waiting for her with my winter coat on, cigarettes in my front pocket, and she sees
them. Ooops.

So she starts in on how I'm grounded, I'm not going over to Chris' house, etc. etc., so I pretended to kind of panic. "NO! If you ground me I'll
have to tell them why and then they'll know I smoke, and I don't want them to know I smoke!!!"

My mom was always so concerned about how things LOOKED versus how things WERE that this worked perfectly. She didn't want Chris' mom
to know, since they were in a couple of social circles together (teaching, church).

It worked. (y)

[Rock]

so I pretended to kind of panic. "NO! If you ground me I'll have to tell them why and then they'll know I smoke, and I don't want them to know I smoke!!!"

Nice. I had a similar experience, but unfortunately it was with the police and pot. I used the "first time doing it" excuse and they bought it...or acted like they did.

I said "I will totally accept the penalties but please don't mention it to my friends because they don't know that I've tried it."

They were like "It's ok buddy. Don't worry, we won't mention it to them, but I think one of your friends might have seen it." and I said something like "oh maannn! Maybe this is the best thing that could have happened to me before I turned into a druggie" Either they just didn't want to deal with paperwork (very unlikely) or I really sold that shit...Academy Award steelo.

They let us all go home instead of impounding my car and taking us ALL to the police station.

God I was stupid (or more stupid) when I was younger.

[insertnamehere]

i haven't smoked and pot in like, 3 years. sometimes i feel disgusted by people who do, feel that its a sign of weakness, loseryness, etc, and sometimes i feel like smokin it. i think if i did though, i would feel horrible about it afterwards. but yeah, sometimes a miss weed.

err, and i'd never try cocaine. seems to dangerous. i woudln't know how much to try and would be scared of dying. although my curiosity would make me feel compelled to, i think the fear of death would outweigh the curiosity. id leave it there probably, so i didn't get found with it on my person, or kick it into a sewer drain or something. i woudln't take it all the way home to flush.

[insertnamehere]

no effect? thats odd. then again, i was given morphine a little over a month ago and it did nothing. after they shot me up, a few seconds later i had a terrible pain in my chest and lost my breath for a second, then nothing. i was still in incredible pain and didnt catch a buzz. overall it was pretty disappointing. i heard lots of good things about morphine.

[mikizee]

Man I have so many drug stories.....

Ive been busted smoking pot quite a few times by cops, half the time they just stared us down then said 'go on, get outta here', half the time we copped a $50 ticket for having buds on us.

Hmmm last time I had coke.... was on the weekend. it was my nephew's 1st birthday party, once all the kids and parents left and it there was only about 4 of us left to clean up the hall where it was held, we broke out the hooter. had a coupla lines each, man, that hall was clean in no time (y)

...no telling if it actually is what it appears to be or if it's pure. unless you're some chemist type who can take it back to a lab and test it, the best bet is to get rid of it.

Here's a quick and easy chemistry test you could do at home to determine if the shit is rat poison or coke.

1. Take the tip of your finger and just slightly press it against said unknown powder just hard enough to get a small amount that sticks to your fingertip.

2. Take the same finger with the unknown powder on it and rub it on the gums of your teeth.

If the outcome is a numbing sensation to your gums similar to Anbesol, congratulations you've got yourself some coke.
If you get no numbing sensation, spit, rinse, repeat and discard the unknown powder in the closest restroom facility.

[Lex Diamonds]

I would do the fingertip test, then if it was the real deal and depending on the quality, sell/sniff it all.
