[Rant]
This weekend I went to a 30th birthday BBQ kinda thing, for a guy I used to flat-mate with about 3 years ago... We lived together for almost 2 years, and I can honestly say he is the best "male" friend I've ever had in NZ and generally a fantastic guy...
I lost contact with him for about a year after I moved out, then all contact was just via phone and texts... he texts me on Saturday and invites me to his birthday do, and I figured "why not".
I organised for him to pick Sam and I up (as Sam's bike is STILL in the damn shop) and we had no other way to get to his place out past Albany... and he was meant to bring us home when things died down...
At the BBQ there was your usual... alcohol... more alcohol... and more alcohol and so on...
Once all the family members leave the music goes up and the pot (weed) comes out and everyones having a smoke... thats fine... I've got nothing against alcohol (Had my first drink in 6 months) and I've got nothing against pot smokers either
Then this random dodgy looking guy shows up and next thing they're all on the P![]()
Sam and I were the only ones not smoking it... plenty of peer pressure... when did "No" start meaning "No, but ask again every 3 minutes incase I change my mind"![]()
I've heard a lot about P, and it's been on the news heaps, but I've never actually been around people that smoke it (not that I know of), and I honestly don't get the point of taking it...
The "dealer" dude was like "Oh just try some it won't do anything" -- Then why take it????
That ruined the whole damn night... Poor Sam never left my side, she just sat there all wide eyed going "I don't like this... I wanna go home" and I don't blame her either...
Then whats worse... there were 2 little kids (a 3yo and a 2yo) there and they wouldn't go to sleep (Ok so the mother feed them about 5kg's of sugar during the course of the afternoon... so they were on a high of thier own) and when the P dude showed up (much to everyones delight) he had his little container with the P inside it... on the table... and Mr. 2yo picks up the container... and yes... puts it in his mouth... Sam and I were the only 2 people there that noticed... my first reaction "Holy fuck! someone grab that conatiner!!" and the dealer "oh it's ok it has the lid on"
![]()
When the hell did a kid with his mouth full of P in a container become alright?![]()
It just amazes me how many people are using P, the affects it's having on thier lives and thier childrens lives. My once very high respect of my mate has gone down the toilet with his P addiction, along with everyone else at that BBQ.
Right of the Mr 2yo incident Sam and I thought "screw this" and went to bed amid all the music and talking and P use. Not the best night I've ever had nor something I ever wish to repeat... I can handle most drugs being taken around me... usually I just shrug it off and say "oh well thier choice not mine" and just continue with what I'm doing... but from now on if anyone starts smoking P around me I'm outta there... like a flash...
And whats more... that P dealer was a dodgy asshole... he heard me talking about bikes... and started telling me he could get me anything I wanted (not just bike related) for real cheap... like new tyres front and back for just $100 brand new, just he couldn't tell me where he got it from.... *cough* stolen goods *cough*
Whats the world coming to?
So yeah... thats one less friend I have... stolen by P![]()
