Unhappy Just found 11 hits of LSD my roommate has been stashing...

Sign in to disble this ad
So I was nosing through my freezer, and I was like "what the heck is a lunchbox doing in the freezer?!?". So I open it and, lo and behold, I find 11 hits of acid.

My roomie is a good person, though very, very naive. She recently hooked up with this 21 year old dude (she is 25), who apparently is still very much into hard drugs, and she is partaking with him. She has never really touched anything like acid; aside from ecstacy and cocaine a few times (which she didnt like, and thus, didnt do again) she's never been into the hard stuff.

Now she tells me at 25 she's getting into doing big acid trips. I tried to talk to her about it but she only responds with "oh but you used to do all that stuff". Of course I respond that I also stopped when, years ago, I smartened up and realized it was frying my brain, but of course, that's irrelevant. "I'm happy with what I'm doing, let me have some fun" she says.

I don't want to sit idly by while I watch a 25 year old kid (not an adult, believe me), toast herself on chemical drugs. I have nothing against experimenting, but the fact that she has 11 hits of LSD at the ready means this isn't just a one time thing, not to mention she has no qualms about telling me _how high_ she got over the weekend. I know I can't tell her what to do, and I know If i flush the acid down the toilet, she'll just get mad at me and go buy some more, but on the other hand, I don't want to let it sit there. I mean, I just don't like that it's in my house, and I really don't like that my roommate is obviously planning on dropping 11 more hits of acid...

What do I do? Nothing? Something? I'm going to say something to her. I can't not approach her about this.

You really can't legislate/regulate other people frying their own brains until/unless a police officer decides to bust them. If you don't want them arrested, then either let it go, or one of you moves out of the flat.

Ok. If you want to get back on her good side, and if you want to make some money while doing it here's what you do.

Take it, replace it with water. Ok not water something that does not smell normal. Vinegar, i dont know. Just substitue it for the real stuff.

Now take the real acid, put it in a vile/needle/ or whatever they store it in, and sell it back to her. Just make sure you do the switch before she takes the acid.

Heck, If she takes the vinegar or what have you and decides that it doesnt do anything she might decide not to do it anymore, in which case, you have a better roomie, and you have some acid which you could make money off of, or throw it down the drain.

These are your options, now get to it.

You can't change her. You can't make her want to stop experimenting.

You can, however, change your situation. Give her 30 days to move out, or tell her you're turning her in to the cops. If she gets busted in your place, it's not going to help your situation at all, even if you never did any.

Yeah. I think the best thing to do is get it out of the house. I'll pm you my addy. Just to be safe, you better split them into two packages. Put about six in a pack of hot pockets. The other 5 you can tape beneath a frozen pizza.

There's nothing to do. She's 25. Just because she's got 11 hits doesn't mean anything. If you buy a 24 pack of beer does it mean you're going to drink them all in one sitting?
Either take them with her and get your freak on or shut up about it.

LSD is considered a hard drug?

It's not that big of a deal. Alcohol does worse things to you.

I agree wholeheartedly, but I am sad to see that the law does not share our perspective. The war on drugs is one of the biggest hypocrisies in United States history. The positive results flowing in versus the quantity of money flowing out is a very small ratio indeed.

I have to agree with the few here. You said yourself you used to do it. Let her have her fun without being a bore. I can accept that you dont want to be involved so one of you has to go but I dont see the point in falling out over it. If its your house then tell her to stop stashing it there, if its not then suck it up.

Its like when someone quits smoking, they always moan louder and more annoyingly than someone who never smoked.

Sounds to me like you get one hell of a weekend, on the house.

maybe it's the fact that I'm currently listening to "The Madcap Laughs" by Syd Barrett while drunk off my ass, but I whole heartedly think you should send it along to me so that it may be disposed of in an appropriate fashion...

I got shagged while on acid once. It was stellar.

send 6 to me...do a couple yourself that leaves her with only 3...

seriously, leave her alone...as long as she's done by age 35~ish she'll be alright
if not, let her trip to death, it's none of your business

or share it with her and have a "jam session"

Of course it is. Using drugs isn't moral unless the government says so. Liquid form, laced in tobacco, who cares?

All those other social drugs will turn your brain to mush and will result in you laying on a couch while struggling to earn enough for your next fix.
