I'm a Drug Dealer
This post was sent to Healthkicker by Inchored@Xanga.
We're asking you, Healthkickers - what do you think of this post about addiction?I'm a dealer.
I deal drugs to my friends. I've dealt them things that they've gotten addicted to. I've dealt them the substances their parents might not approve of. You might say I'm offering their downfall. I disagree.
If a quick fix is what they need to keep going, I provide the tools. The tools work, they're fixed, we're done. The world's happier, we're more productive - life resumes! They don't have to come to me and they don't need to come to me. Nonetheless, they do come to me. They come to me and for a small price, and relief is theirs.
Addiction is a threeway relationship.
You have the client, the dealer and the drug.
I played half by introducing them to what became a huge part of their lives.
They played the other half by taking it. They were aware of the risks, the consequences and what would happen if they got addicted. Those that got addicted knew they risked doing so from the moment they took the drug. It's not my fault or responsibility if they end up in jail. It's theirs for letting it take over their lives!
Through these drugs, I've come to meet a variety of people. I have developed friendships with people that I might've not met otherwise. In truth, it opened doors. The others life closed on me. I learned a lot of things.
I got addicted to the same drugs I was dealing. I ran out of my stash, so I called a friend. I got my friend to deal, too. I got all of my friends to deal. Now, we're all addicted.
And we deal together. Everyone.
We deal with all kinds of things. Mostly with life, love, family, friendships, relationships, school, work, boredom, our futures, our past, our present. Our drug is each other, our friendships.
Yeah, I'm addicted.
Have you, or has someone you know, ever been involved in a drug situation like the one described here? What motivated you to break your drug addiction?

Hmm... No offense but this just kind of sounds like someone trying clear their own conscience/pass the buck.
Wait. What.
"We deal with all kinds of things. Mostly with life, love, family, friendships, relationships, school, work, boredom, our futures, our past, our present. Our drug is each other, our friendships. "
How is this post really about drugs or maybe I am reading too much into the last line. I thought it was a well written post about love and friendship. I was angry with the person until I finished reading it . Had the writing not been as captiviating I would have missed the point)
Remove the last line and I would have said the the person that wrote needs to redefine what friendship means.
I don't understand why you'd write this. With your picture and everything.
And i don't understand what point you're trying to make.
Are you high right now?
Not judging just...i don't see the point.
that's how my old group of friends was. everyone sold drugs, everyone did drugs. and now most of us broke up, but some of the people who don't sell drugs, i'm still best friends with. i get you. just what drugs are you talking about? like pot or heroin? they're quite different, and i don't think you mentioned.
If you really are dealing, posting this was a really really bad idea. You just wrote an entire blog full of incriminatory statements.
while i think this is kind of snotty in style and language you make a good point that i was thinking about today. my parents always want to find the person who sold me the drugs that i take but i don't think it's fair. what i choose to seek out and buy is MY responsibility and MY consequences. and yeah, you really shouldn't have posted this to healthkicker if you really are a dealer because this is preeeeetty public.
Yeeah I'm confused after reading the last line I'm pretty sure this isn't actually about illegal drugs, but I don't know, is it JUST about friends, JUST about drugs? or about both? this is very unclear.
@sweetsweetsugarjunkie@xanga - @HerWar@xanga - @MeStripped3@xanga - @tokyoexpressman@xanga - @kacyy@xanga - She's talking about the drug of friendship, and love. Because it's something we all need, and we're all addicted to.
I thought you were talking about real drugs. You know, Horse, Junk, Choco from the Swiss Alps. A real situation where junkies pimp out their kids for another crack rock. This is a misrepresentation like winning a trip to Aspen and having to sit through a timeshare presentation.
@DeLasombra@xanga - Xanga probably threw that last line in at the end. Nice editing.
Friendship is not actually a drug. Just throwing that out there.
wow ok I just had a huge as*** comment about real drugs and dealing... then I decieded to read the other comments only to learn, this post was actually about being addicted to love, and friendships ect...
WOW!!!
@Shy___Away@xanga - I had to read this twice before I got it. It's clever, but it's also confusing as hell.
That's the gayest thing i've ever heard.
I'm confused. Seriously.
Is it a post about love and friendship like other people say, and that last line that Xanga threw in just messed it up? If so, what's it doing on healthkicker? And why would being addicted to friendship land people in jail?
And if it's really about drugs, then...wow.
Hmmm, re-reading the post, I think the post was misunderstood by the editors. But, I'm still confused @_@
This isn't about drugs at all. You are trying to relate living life to dealing drugs. Why would you think life is analogous to dealing drugs?
I think that this is about actual drugs, but she is saying the she has made friends through dealing and that those people are her community now. They are not just connected by drug use, but by the other things they help one another through. However, I have lived with a family member with a severe heroin addiction and I can tell you, almost 100 percent of the time, your drug buddies are not your real friends, because they will always care about drugs more than you.Â
@Erika_Steele@xanga - i agree.... it's making me confused. is this about drugs, or friendship? the author should have made it more clear.
if it's about drugs; you're an idiot destroying your life. good job.
if it's about friends; wtf. you're weird and it's not a big deal.
@PenaltyLife@xanga - If you go to her blog, her writing style is clever andit wouldn't be her not to be ambiguous and leave interpretation up to the reader. It wouldn't have been an interesting and fun read without the confusion. I really like it and subscribed to her. This blog is about friendship. She writes about family and friends a lot.
Do you have any vicodin or coke?
kthnx
send me a message
This was creative, I don't understand why the comments were so negative... did some not read all the way through?
I'm going to address this on both levels.
I'm pretty sure she's talking about drugs:
"Those that got addicted knew they risked doing so from the moment they took the drug. It's not my fault or responsibility if they end up in jail. It's theirs for letting it take over their lives!"
No, there's nothing wrong with drugs... During the depression, my relative used to run alcohol up and down the country, and he got enough money and friends to start a business and get good work. His life had been Hell before. He left home at 15 to work in a sheet-metal factory and lived in a tent for part of his life. It's all how you use things.
"We deal with all kinds of things. Mostly with life, love, family, friendships, relationships, school, work, boredom, our futures, our past, our present. Our drug is each other, our friendships."
Aw, your drug is each other. I've always hated most of my friends because they aren't really my friends. They use me or feel sorry for me, so they pretend to care, and they use me or say things about me behind my back. I caught them at dinner once because I had to use the restroom, and they were there and said something right as I came in (usual). There's not much left of me anyway, so I don't hits. I mean, I have a few good ones, although we've drifted apart.
this is easily the dumbest post i've ever read. why you'd want to compare drug use or drug dealing to friendship, even as a metaphor, is beyond me, unless you have either no experience with drugs or ironically too much experience with naivete.
