First time window cleaning - 2003-2011, I had quite a few council houses and the like. Never smelt the pungent odour of wacky-backy. Now, if a quote is council, I can almost put money on there being a waft of the weed floating about.

Is it just me? Or has it become super common-place now. I don't think I've ever smelt it so much in my life as I have the last 8 months. I grew up in on a council estate and it was a never like that then.

[Splash & dash]

Don’t think it’s just council estates it’s everywhere even in the main streets of the towns and cities as well

[KS Cleaning]

A car passed me the other day, the occupants were obviously smoking weed….I’m surprised the car wasn’t floating in mid air!

It's surprising just how many and the kind of people who use drugs these days! Particularly shocking is the use of cocaine by people you would never expect to. What we would consider 'ordinary' people, mums and dads, business owners, professional people, younger generation farmers, medical professionals..... the list goes on.
Personally, I have never taken any kind of recreational drug in my entire life (unless you include alcohol😁) but I've really had my eyes opened in the last few years!!😲

[dazmond]

My missus still smokes weed most nights and she's 53!her daughter,boyfriend and most of their friends smoke it too....they are all hard working, friendly people not dole dossers....

Ironically its far less harmful to most people than alcohol and cigarettes...

I don't smoke it anymore as I don't personally like it but for lots of people it relaxes them and helps their creativity esp if their into arts and crafts like my missus!🙂👍

There's nothing I haven't took apart from heroin!(smackheads don't look like their having a good time!)🤣

Cocaine,crack,Ecstasy,amphetamine,ketamine,LSD,cannabis,cigarettes,copious amounts of alcohol.....

I've had some great times and nights out while high as a kite but I'm glad I didn't carry on doing them.....👍

[Stoots]

I wouldn't mind trying a bit of weed but don't know any drug dealers. Supposed to be good for aches and pains. Smoked it a lot as a kid but never really got on with it proffered amphetamines.

How do know which end to light?

[Slacky]

Where I'm moving to they sell it through Govt managed shops/outlets.



 Still trying to work out if it's a good or bad thing. If it's a gateway drug as they say and you then go to the East side in Vancouver you'd soon think selling it isnt a good idea. I took a trip through the East side on a couple of occasions the first time I came out here, its an eye-opener going through that place, and its also very very sad to see how low people can sink.

[Ggh]

Pretty sure alcohol is the gateway drug. I can’t stand smoking dope, doesn’t mean others shouldn’t enjoy it though. It’s human behaviour that’s normally the issue, not the drugs.

[Bungle]

My neighbours smoke it in the garden and wafts over to ours. We were in the garden yesterday with visitors and it came over. It stank bloody horrible. We all looked over to where the smell came from and the bloke smoking it went and hid behind a fence. The Mrs just told me they were out smoking it today too. The pair of them next door are good for nothings and he's a loud mouthed bully towards his Mrs. He's building what looks like an outside bar so he'll probably smoking some poo in there come the nice weather.

I can't stand the smell of it and I smoke!

[jonboywalton75]

It's everywhere, all the time
Personally I've never needed drugs or alcohol to have a good time (I do drink for pleasure though)
Plenty of things in life to get creative about without resorting to drugs etc if you are not thick and have a modicum of imagination.
Weed does no- one any good, I'm high on life myself 👍

To be fair theres probably quite a few where i live, big council estate.... But im not sure how to approach a young chav, excuse me squire could you point me in the direction of the local crack den 

I would probably give it a whirl if i was ever offered some but i cant say its something that i crave. I was more thinking for anxiety and stuff it might be good but then ive heard it can make these things worse so who knows.

Seems like it really is everywhere!

I took up smoking a pipe - just pipe tobacco at 42 to calm the stress of teaching. I now only have one on Friday after work. I finish the last house, pack my pipe, light-up and drive home looking like Gandalf. Never touched weed though.

[Smudger]

Wow - don’t see/here people smoking a pipe anymore - the aroma is fantastic off a pipe

Find someone who get you California medical cannabis oil, so you can vape it, my son took it for his epilepsy, worked wonders

[alank]

I've smoked a pipe for years especially when I'm fishing.
Enjoy the occasional cigar aswel.

[Col]

I vaped a bit of weed nightly up to last year.
No smell and no tobacco and great sleeps and chilled me out after work.

Reason I stopped was the fear of being stopped by the police in the morning and getting a drugswipe.
Fail that and you can kiss your driving licence and business goodbye.
Even though it would be 12 hours between vaping and driving and I felt brand new each morning I couldn't find any concrete proof that i would pass the test and the risk was just too high.
The trace limit on the test is almost zero and I found plenty of cases where people were testing positive the next morning after a smoke.

Never got melted on it and it was just a small pinch each evening and I kind miss it but lost a bit of weight through not getting the munchies

Do they drive?
Only takes them to be caught in a police operation tackling drug drivers and then that’s licence gone and teachers job gone.
Small risk but a risk all the same.
I used to smoke it regularly but just couldn’t shake the worry that what if I do get stopped. Licence gone = no work = **cked!
So stopped a few months ago and I feel absolutely no different now to when I smoked it every night.
Just something to think about

[james peters]

great observation.....
picture a scene
A family having a picnic in a park.......... the children playing whilst the adults do a couple of lines of coke or smoke a few joints
everyone would be mortified and report it

however picture the same scene , only this time the adults a drinking bottles of wine ...
nobody would take any notice ..... yet it can be argued that alcohol is far worse
this is because society has normalised it alcohol.

society brainwashes  peoples behaviour

[NBwcs]

Society is hypercritical that's for sure, we accept alcohol and all it's associated problems. I love a drink but I drink "happy beer". Unfortunately a lot of people don't. I can think of 4 or 5 incidents when a night out has been ruined by dickheads intent on causing trouble fueled by alcohol. Approx 40% of all crimes committed by inmates were done so under the influence of alcohol.  All things in life require self control, I don't buy into the argument that weed is a gateway to stronger stuff any more than beer or wine is a gateway to spirits/moonshine. Alcohol  is a stimulant, weed has a soporific quality, it generally calms you down. Both have their problems but why one is acceptable and one not is ridiculous especially as behavioural problems are known to be worse with the one which has been normalised.

[Always shining]

You are right mate but alcohol is in your system one day. Weed is in there 28 if you smoke it regularly.  That was my point re driving.
Is alcohol more damaging than weed? There’s a debate to be had but from my point of view yes it is. Cocaine as has been said is far far worse.
How many fights outside pubs at kicking out time are caused by people stoned? The alcohol and cocaine is a terrible combination and has definitely led to the violence being used becoming increasing worse!

[richard connett]

If you suffer from any anxiety of any sort I would recommend to think carefully as they can make that worse or bring about mental illness in predisposed people. One thing I’ve noticed though is that people who smoke regularly more often than not come out with all these conspiracy theory’s. 

[dazmond]

Personally I think they would be better off giving it up altogether  but you just can't go round telling people what to do.theyve got to make their own minds up.

It may have become a normal part of one’s lives but it’s not normal behaviour be taking these  substances it’s a commonly accepted fact by medical professionals that ones start with cannabis and many progress to harder drugs , many then get involved in a criminal life style to support their habit , I agree some are yuppies and have a plentiful supply of cash to for there drugs but that’s not always the case , a friend of mines brother is a very well off builder his wife has a major cocaine  habit she spent over 200k on the stuff over several years before her husband was aware of what was going on , long storey short they are now separated, she has lost her job , has a restraining order against her , is banned from contact with her kids and has attempted suicide many times she started with cannabis , and that led to cocaine and her demise .

If that’s the case you have a duty of care to report it , I certainly wouldn’t tolerate that , if ones turn up smelling of drink they are sent home if they got on the pump it would be instant suspension, back in the late 80s it did use to happen but certainly not now .

It always puzzles me that people are blind enough to think that alcohol is fine and all recreational drugs are evil. It’s the user that’s the problem, not the drug.

There is nothing wrong with alcohol in moderation and providing they don’t get behind the wheel of a vehicle whilst it’s still in there system

Illegal mind altering drugs is a totally different kettle of fish by there very nature they are illegal , and can cause all kinds of long term issue , I had a customer who back in the 60 s regularly took LSD 40 years later he said he still got  the haloosenagenic dreams .  Although he hadn’t taken it in years he died around 5 years ago and suffered with the results up to his death and always said he wished he had never taken it 

Drugs prescribed by a medical practitioner are given to help specific ailments and even a lot of theses can and do have side effects but the benefits  out way the negatives , also you won’t get arrested for having them in your system or on your person  , but may not be all to drive whilst taking them.

Bit of a contradiction in terms there , by the fact it’s illegal , means that there is a reason for it it’s not just a case of someone deciding they don’t like it. Theses laws are there for the benefit of the majority in the country , I agree with you the mis use or over indulgence in alcohol is a major issue with sum

Prob drink about 4 or 5 pints a week, thoroughly enjoy them.
Not illegal or too damaging to my health.
I am jealous of my son who is teeTotal though.
He's thinner than me.
I take drugs that are prescribed unless I think the side effects are worse than the risk, as was evident when the Covid jab badly affected my wife, twice over.
Never done recreational drugs and at 67 years of age am not planning to start any time soon.

Just because something is illegal, it doesn’t mean it’s wrong.  You need to broaden the way you look at things.

Bit of a contradiction in terms there , by the fact it’s illegal , means that there is a reason for it it’s not just a case of someone deciding they don’t like it. Theses laws are there for the benefit of the majority in the country , I agree with you the mis use or over indulgence in alcohol is a major issue with sum

Prohibition in America? Alcohol is fine now though……


The reason for a government legislating on the use of drugs may have reasons other than health. Look at the history of hemp for example.
History has shown us to never trust those imposing laws upon us. Slavery, voting rights, conscription for WW1, criminalising homosexuality until recently, the list goes on…

You should take a load of drugs and make your own mind up.👍

Another pet hate of mine is these morons who inhale gas through balloons, reminds me of the glue sniffing punks of the 80's

But a glass of wine is fine?👍

I agree about a lot of theses things that you have mentioned , but illegal drug use is in a different league to slavery , and conscription etc , nothing wrong with alcohol in moderation either I rarely drink due to the fact of being on call and having to go in charge of an appliance and having to set an example to the crew , that’s my choice and ime happy with that but will have a drink on occasions when off duty or holiday . I don’t need alcohol or drugs to have a good time thanks 😂😂😂

Neither do I.👍

It doesn’t mean others shouldn’t enjoy it though.

I thinks drugs do have there uses . Every couple of weeks I get 2 steaks and a good  bottle of red wine for a tenner off a local crack head . He told me last week it was going up to £12 . No way  am I paying that . I told him I will go monthly. He said that would be £15 . He started moaning about inflation and the cost of living . Gunna speak to another local crack head who my neighbour uses . Apparently he throws a jar of. Coffee in every 3 months if you don’t turn him away . Plus you can pay him online .

Why oh why would you have dealings with this type of low life , I certainly wouldn’t want to eat or drink anything that came from that kind of source it could be contaminated, out of date or they could have done  any number of things to it , we regularly go out on shouts with this type of Persian and the conditions they live in are often absolute squalid and unhygienic.

Does he do the first fix for free?

He claimed his stake.

Just spoke to him . Got him booked in , he’s not your traditional old style shoplifter . He uses that new method . Goes in mobhanded jumps the counter and grabs what they can . Don’t know if the finish will be as good . You get what they grab . Could be steaks , whiskey , or even washing powder . Then they bolt out the doors into a nice new sign written van . But he gives a 48 hour guarantee . If you’re not satisfied he goes back and redoes it . He has 3 vans on the road . All built up from Facebook . He even has a few coppers as customers,

I am a problem drinker , and would like to be Alcohol free .

Alcohol isn't really your problem.  The real problem is the 'thing' that forces you to drink.  Solve that and you won't be a problem drinker because you won't be forced to drink.

Some folk find God.  Others find the Gym.

It may have become a normal part of one’s lives but it’s not normal behaviour be taking these  substances it’s a commonly accepted fact by medical professionals that ones start with cannabis and many progress to harder drugs , many then get involved in a criminal life style to support their habit ,

I think 'drugs' (maybe not all) is a bit like booze.  Most people can use them recreationally, without consequences, and they're fine; just like people can use alcohol.

But for a small number of people drugs are seriously damaging, just like booze.

[Ggh]

Booze is a drug.
