Ever been acused of being on drugs when you were not?

Post Reply New Topic

My parents never accused me of being on drugs but just about everyone else thought I was.

In high school I knew who all was doing drugs because just about every one of them at one time or another had walked up and asked if I had any extra I could sell them.

As for police.. dont even get me started. The last time was when I jaywalked because I was in a hurry and they stopped me and ended up asking if I was on PCP. I had to ask them what that was

As for the dark circles.. yeah I have deep set eyes as well and get accused of being beat up (was really annoying if I got into a fist fight in school and people would say "You got beat up pretty bad with two black eyes" "No they always look like this you've just never noticed.. jerk")

Yes, way before I ever even tried any actual drugs, because I'd seem "spaced out" and it would take multiple times saying my name before people got my attention, or at least realized I was paying attention and just not looking at them.

Every time I go to the gym. I don't think many NTs if any can get muscles as big as mine without drugs.

Back in high school when I was on heavy psychotropic drugs, everybody who didn't know me always thought I was constantly stoned or drunk. Not so much after I got off of 'em.

When people ask me "are you on drugs", I use a very clever comeback. I say "I wish!" in a specific tone of voice: a combination of sarcastic and wishful. This stops even a hardcore NT in his/her tracks, and they drop the topic instantly.

hee..I have used that one..in some rare moment of being snappy enough.

When I was 17 - 19 or so people thought I was stoned because of my 'space cadet' persona. I used to hide behind it because I was shy. I never actually touched marijuana till I was 23!!

All the time. Got asked recently while I was walking by
a bar that I frequent if I was high. I answered, "always,"
though I don't do drugs. Probably true though, 'cause my
natural state is a near hallucination anyhow.

Many, many times. In high school I was constantly forced to piss in a cup. The teachers, counselors and my parents would be dumbfounded because it always came up clean. I was accused of swapping my urine with a friends but my reply was always, "I don't have any friends so how could I do that?" A couple of times I was forced to whip out my schlong and piss right front of everyone and it still came out as clean as a mountain stream. Now that I know I have AS and celiac disease my parents feel terrible about forcing me to do that but what can you do? The guilt they feel is revenge enough. I have never taken drugs that I was not prescribed nor have I ever been drunk.

people always think im on speed as i am nervous and twitchy.

**Also, as a side note, I too have horrible dark circles under my eyes and always have. In HS there were also some sure that someone was beating me because of my "black eyes".. Do u think this is common with us or.. ??[/quote]

I have wondered the same.....I have always had dark shadows around my eyes. I am very pale so my coloring is especially noticable. Incidentally, I do not, nor have I ever, taken drugs/alcohol. The idea is abhorrent to me and I have never wanted too. But, yes, I have been mistaken for being drugged, drunk, blind, deaf, etc. Whatever.
