Bell, Woods, Mason, and Adler. Nightmare blunt rotation. Bell is undescribed and uses they/them pronouns
TW for recreational drug use
The giggles are already setting in.
Bell's not sure what it is about Frank smoking the joint, but something in the visuals of it has them laughing already. Mason looks like he's holding back a laugh of his own, though he's laughing more at Bell than Woods.
"Shut the fuck up, Bell." Woods huffs, smoke pouring out of his nostrils and lips as he speaks. His voice holds no real contempt, and Bell only begins chuckling harder. The joint is passed to Mason, who takes a drag and coughs lightly.
The three of them sit on the roof of the safehouse, watching the Berlin stars overhead as they take a breather from the stress around them. Tomorrow, they continue the hunt for Perseus. Tonight, they leave all that shit (and Hudson's nagging) behind them.
"Here, Bell." Mason hands the joint over, and they take it with a smile. Bell puts it to their mouth and breathes deeply, nearly sputtering as footsteps are heard approaching the rooftop.
If Hudson finds them all like this, they're fucked.
"Hmm. Smoking outside without me?" It's Adler, coming up onto the roof. As he steps out of the doorway, reaching for his cigarettes in his pocket, the smell suddenly hits him. "Not cigarettes, huh?"
Bell side eyes him nervously. Smoke slowly pools out of their nostrils. They cough.
"Jesus fuckin christ." Adler shakes his head.
"Do you want in or not?" Woods asks, watching as Adler makes an exasperated sigh. Frank nudges Bells leg with his foot, nodding his head at Adler. Bell leans over, offering the joint while still holding their head straight and side eyeing him. Adler seems amused, taking the joint from their hands and setting down next to them with a deeper sigh.
Hadn't had a bong in over 12mths and tried 1 medical strain cone and it made me white out then sleep for over 12hrs, compliments to my friend who shouted me a bong, haven't felt like that for a long time, 28% THC medical grade indoor grown is strong as fuck.
I have biases toward cocaine because of my ex-bf who was addicted to and selling it. It really affected our relationship and my mental health. I also have a lot of friends who have recovered or are recovering from addictions to it. However, I do know there are people who can use it as a party drug, not become abusive/aggravated, and who live a responsible life. I do tend to let people know at (the very few) parties I attend that I'm not comfortable around it and will just stay out of the room they use it in.
Harder drugs than that make me feel concerned for the people using them. I've known a couple people who smoked crack and I distanced myself from them mostly due to their behaviours changing and the friends they kept. Any drugs as hard or harder than that make me weary and uncomfortable. I sympathize with anyone using them and don't think they should be judged or treated less than. We need more programs and supports to help people who have addictions.
MDMA is something I myself used for a summer and even recently I tried it again. That summer I used it I wasn't well and loved it. When I used it recently, my antidepressants sort of cancelled out most of the effects and what I did feel wasn't worth the hangover and mood swings after. I also just don't feel the need to take anything like that anymore. So I'll be turning that down if I ever get offered it again.
Personally, I like to stick with weed. I smoke a few times a day, sometimes less and sometimes more. It used to be such a big part of who I was and now it's just something I do sometimes. Sure I get along with other people who smoke weed, but it's not something I care to talk about a lot like I used to. Most of my friends smoke too, but my bf gets anxiety from it.
I think alcohol should be mentioned too. In my province, having to drink to have fun is normalized to the point that drinking and driving is normalized amongst certain groups. I've known countless alcoholics who wish they could stop drinking and an ex-bf of mine had a grandfather pass from the complications related to alcoholism. I drink every now and then (once a week/every other week) and I personally prefer to just smoke weed.
I decided not to drink this past weekend because I had been in hospital just days before and I still enjoyed myself around my bf and his friend who were drinking while we watched UFC. (They watched UFC and I chatted lmao.) So I'm on my way to quitting alcohol. Alcohol is a drug and it's legal so it's recreational use is often overlooked, but it is a big issue where I live.
I told Mom that Jon and I were planning to indulge in a little bud tomorrow to unwind from a busy and stressful holiday, and not to expect anything from us for the day because we plan on just shutting our brains off and relaxing for once
She invited my (very old) great uncle and my cousin to come over for tea tomorrow evening
So now I have to be sober by the time they come over
