    Angry Candy Flipping

    Ok here is some history::

    I used to use meth, then I quit that and started rolling on a regular basis. One day I basically woke up and went "wow, what the fuck have I done to myself." I havent touched a drug since, and havent hung out with people that do.

    My best friend has done her fair share of drugs but is like me.. just likes to drink. Well last night I stayed home with my kids and my ex husband had a party. She went there with her ex boyfriend and his best friend (they are all friends with my ex). Apparently she left and dropped acid, used NOS and drank shit loads of jager (I know this isnt really considered flipping, but to someone who does no drugs... to a point.)

    When I told her today, "wow, I didnt peg you for someone who would do that shit." She got all defensive with, "what shit" and I told her candy flipping. She replied (in text) "haha sometimes."

    I think this is bullshit and I want nothing to do with it. Do I just let her do her thing, or should I say something... like I cant hang out with you if you are doing that shit?

    Thanks, Sin-

    If you are comfortable with it and can accept it, then do. If you can't accept it, then don't.

    You're not going to change her, and she's a grown woman. All you can do is decide whether you are comfortable being around it or not. It's about YOUR limits, not anyone else's.

    And by the way, MAJOR kudos on kicking the drugs yourself! Meth addiction is very hard to recover from, and I've seen it completely destroy so many people. Congratulations - it can't have been easy.

    Sorry to sound like the clueless one, but what is candy flipping?

    Candy flipping = mixing ecstasy and a hallucinogen like LSD, or more generally mixing drugs.

    IMO...best to stay away. You don't want to be out drinking with her one night, and get sucked into something worse than alcohol. Take care of yourself and hang out with people who care about themselves.

    if you're really good friends then it can't hurt to say something to her. of course, it's highly unlikely that it will change her behavior, but it's worth the effort. at the same time, it's probably unwise to continue hanging out with her if she doesn't change course.

    I've never heard of it either...wow! I know doing one drug is dangerous...but is it not crazy to mix? I'm clueless on that stuff.

    I think you should slowly sever ties....don't make her feel crappy. She needs to figure it out herself...you can't force people to see what they don't want to. Slowly distance yourself...best thing to do and then no feelings get hurt and there is no drama.

    My brother used Meth and got clean...I'm so proud of you even though I don't know you....I just think it takes a VERY strong person to overcome such a tough addiction. Congrats!

    Your not judging her....but you do need to protect yourself and stay sober....if she is any kind of friend she will get that without you having to tell her.

    Sin, ask yourself... Self, how would I feel if my friend ended up overdosing, and I never at least had "the talk" with her?"

    If self answers "Its okay, not my fault etc." Then don't say anything.
    If self answers, "Damn, I wish I had said something." Then do what you have to do!

    Being friends is not supposed to be hard, but it damn sure ain't always easy!
    You should, in an unjudging way, be able to tell your friends when they are phucking up, and be able to accept the same critisisms

    Good Luck

    If my best friend did that shit... I'd bug her about stopping... after I got over my inital shock. I wouldn't want to be around it, either.

    I haven't heard the term candy flipping for a couple of years since I used to hang out with someone that would take exctacy and LSD together and she was one of those people who was always getting quite fucked up. She was fun to party with but not someone I ever wanted to get too close to or else I felt like I'd end up in trouble.

    K is one of the few drugs I haven't tried--or was it G, lol? All I know is, whichever one it was made me sort of sleepy more than anything, but I was pretty stressed at the time, so it was a mistake to take it--and I doubt I ever will again. I much prefer not being sleepy if I'm supposed to be having fun...

    I've mixed a few, too--but it can be dangerous, especially certain combinations, which can even kill you if you take the wrong amounts of each, even easier than an overdose of one or the other.

    Pharmacologically speaking, anytime you combine two drugs it's a matter of multiplication, not addition...

    I rarely mess with drugs much anymore, though I do live by my motto 'Moderation in all things, including moderation'. I do hang out occasionally with people who do mix, but I avoid the crazy ones who are out of control about it.

    I like rolling about once a year or two, not really more than that, and only under the right conditions.

    If you do still associate with your friend, it doesn't mean you have to take what she's taking--though if she's getting stupid it won't be much fun for you. I'd tell her you're concerned and leave it at that--people won't listen much if they are in self-abuse mode, from my experience.

    It obviously makes you uncomfortable so my advice would be to stay away. No need to risk screwing up what you worked so hard to overcome...

    theres nothing you can do.

    when i went cold turkey last year from meth, i knew it would have its implications with mates, my partner and i lost some very very close friedns. friendships that will never be regained, until they see how their drug taking is affecting them (btw, they think we are cops cos we quit and they are completly convinced, even right down to the details of how my neighbour hung herself, they think we MADE THAT UP! wtf its sad when they lose it)

    so what if your friend is candyflipping ??(lol that is a very old term, and tbh i wouldnt call what she was doing candyflipping, CF is done at strategic times of the night, and the timing of each drugs is carefully watched. dont ask...) in a way it is her choice, regarless of how you look at it.

    cut your losses tho, before she brings you down too. meth can break the touchest of people

    Ok, Candy flipping to me is taking any drug in combo with another..

    ie: lsd and alcohol
    ie: lsd and e
    ie: lsd and pot
    ie: pot and NOS

    Either way, it isnt like her to be doing shit like this. Her ex does stupid shit like this all the time, but she has never done it.

    I havent talked to her all day, and since the new guy in my life is a self proclaimed straight edger (just doesnt do it himself, could care less what everyone else does) she was hesitant to tell me about last night

    Im going out of town for the rest of the week, we will see what happens when I get back.

    Oh and the term Candy flipping is only old cause we are getting old.. the kids still use it! haha

    I definitely wouldn't consider mixing pot with Nos or LSD or anything else candy flipping. I've only ever heard the term referring to Acid and Extacy. Oh, and by the way, I'm young and yes, the term is still used.

    One thing's for sure, meth is a killer--a truly nasty drug. between the harmful effects of the drug itself, and the ensuing sleep deprivation, I have seen women reduced to babbling idiots from the shit.

    I knew a guy who was paralyzed from the waist down by a stroke at an age under 40 from it. He's dead now, probably becasue he didn't stop taking it. Can't say I have much sympathy for him, he was a colossal asshole, but there are some good people being laid low by this horrible drug.

    I tried a line of it once, it was awful--no fun at all, and I've never touched it since.

    Rolling is doing ecstacy (unless it means something else now?)

    Rolling is still doing ecstasy.

    Damn, I need to get out of Hollywood. I don't even do drugs, but I'm hip to all the lingo because they are freakin' everywhere out here. It's depressing.

    Rolling is using extacy and tripping is using some sort of hallucinogen (Acid or mushrooms, etc.)

    Don't worry about knowing the lingo, that doesn't make anyone cool.

    Doing drugs, or not doing them, doesn't make you cool, either--it's what kind of person you are, whether you choose to indulge or not.

    It's a personal choice, and having done any number of drugs, I refuse to be judged or hand out judgement to anyone, unless they are strung out or brain-damaged by abuse.

    My favorite, though, are the people who look down on you for having done drugs, when alcohol--the worst of all mind-altering substances since it causes more monetary and health damage than any other--is viewed as a socially acceptable or even 'manly' and 'normal' thing to consume...

    Thank you! That drives me up a freakin wall. Personally I rather smoke than drink anyday. But people don't seem to care how goddamn bad it is for you. You get drunk because you're poisoning your body. You throw up because your body is rejecting it. It doesn't want it in there, yet you go and drink more?! Man those people irk the hell out of me. Glad I'm not alone!
