Bundy Rum most likely. Good times.

The wife told me qld health did a study of people who presented to casualty "claiming" to have been spiked.
Of 90 presentations, 3 had actually been given a spike , all 3 were a benzo.
The other 87 just couldn't handle their alcohol and behaved in unusual ways and tried to back rationalise it Undecided

Then why didnt it happen all the time whenever i went to a pub?

I’m much in the same category as Carl and Jasin.
I maybe take Panadol once or twice a year but only if nothing else works if I’m in pain due to weather change of stress etc. I usually just put up with pain until it eases, I have found I have a high threshold of pain tolerance. Unlike hubby! He’s into pain meds often!
I started him on magnesium supplements and I think it helped a bit.

Im not much of an alcohol drinker, but on special occasions, and maybe only 1-2 drinks max.

Never got to be part of the drug scene probably because of being older gen, living in country and isolation, and missing the opportunities, (unlike my brother 5 years younger went into it from age 15)

I had an opportunity to try marijuana (as I used to smoke cigarettes regrettably when younger but glad I gave up in mid 20s) so to have a smoke of M at age 30 for first time in life, (and last!) I found it messed with my senses! Laughing, then hungry, then moody!
I thought f… this, I’m not in control here!

So my happy drug is going outside to marvel at nature and feeling at peace, binge watching series on prime, cooking (and sourcing organic produce), arty creations, going online to learn about stuff, picking up a good book to read, photography, and shopping!

oh, and a bit of playing the pokies!

I’ve got a bit of an upbeat personality and love a good yak and laugh, for many of my happy-go-lucky bubbly years, people used to think I was on drugs or something! But I wasn’t! I genuinely felt those feelings normally.
Recently had my birthday, (I’m a Pisces) instead of going out I cooked for everyone! I get given bottles of alcohol for presents! And I didn’t feel like drinking that night, otherwise it dulls my senses and I don’t cook so well.
I was intrigued by conversations around table with drinks flowing through everyone! Amazing how drink talks loudest when out of bottle Grin

Some confessions come flying out and I’m all ears! Grin

So you see, being sober can be fun too!

People mood and emotional state varies every day.
Sometimes people are chill.
Sometimes people are very stirred up.
Sometimes people are horny
Sometimes people are angry
Add a good dose of alcohol which reduces inhibitions and you just amplify the underlying mood.

People might get in a fight or get violent, they might have risky sex, they might say unwise things, they might get all giggley. They might fall asleep in the corner.

None of that means they had someone spike their drink.
It just means the alcohol affected them differently on different occasions.

If you got drunk and violent, you probably had some underlying issues that were on your mind.
Maybe pent up frustration or a childhood memory , that an uninhibited state let you act out.

Blame the alcohol if you like.
People rarely want to take responsibility for their behaviour and are usually looking for an excuse Roll Eyes

Yeah.

The alcohol made you disinhibited.
You acted up.
You got embarrassed
You made an excuse hat someone spiked your drink.
You escaped accountability.

Don't worry.
Its absolutely normal behaviour.

It's called rationalisation

Failure of accountability, post-hoc rationalization (“back rationale”), and excuse-making are actually very common in human behavior. Psychology and behavioral science consider them normal cognitive and social patterns rather than rare traits. The key point is that most people do this sometimes, though the frequency and intensity vary widely.
1. Why humans rationalize mistakes
This behavior is strongly linked to a psychological principle called Cognitive Dissonance.
Cognitive dissonance happens when our actions conflict with our self-image (e.g., “I’m a good, responsible person” vs. “I made a mistake”).
To reduce the discomfort, people often:
Reinterpret what happened
Blame external factors
Minimize the mistake

I have to say that I'm starting to get a bit concerned about aquascoot and the content of his posts lately.

I've always wondered what goes on at the little farm in Nowheresville, Outback Queensland (population: 10) but I'm starting to suspect there could be some weird and possibly dangerous cult there with aquascoot as leader, of course.

Perhaps the authorities need to investigate or, at the very least, keep a close eye on him?

Strange stuff. Even for Queensland.

Glad I'm on the other side of Australia.

Don't worry Carl. Most " real" Australians would consider someone who wants to shut down the airline industry to keep measles out a " whack job"

As for spot wrecking a pub whilst drunk and then saying his drink was spiked , I have presented the scientific evidence this is very unlikely.

And we know how you love the science Embarrassed

People often suspect drink spiking when someone suddenly behaves very differently on a night out. In reality, confirmed spiking does occur but most cases of unusual behavior after drinking are explained by alcohol itself (especially higher doses than expected).
Here’s what research and investigations generally show:
1. Alcohol alone explains the great majority of “spiking” suspicions
Alcohol can cause dramatic changes in behavior, especially when someone drinks:
More than they realize (strong pours, mixed drinks)
Faster than usual
On an empty stomach
Effects that people sometimes attribute to spiking—such as confusion, blackouts, vomiting, or sudden loss of coordination—are well-known effects of high blood alcohol levels. Alcohol-induced blackouts are particularly common in binge drinking and can make people believe something unusual happened.
Studies of emergency department cases and police reports often find:
Most suspected spiking cases test positive only for alcohol.
No additional drugs are detected in the majority of tests when samples are taken quickly enough.

Religious beliefs just like sport are addictive but not a drug IMO.

Addiction is the the problem i think?

My experience with Meth was an eye opener and I start this thread and not ashamed to share.

I was camping with a brother from another mother and we had been drinking and I was tired and ready for bed.

He pulled out the pipe ( a little too my shock) and heated up.

He offered the next to me and I said “mate I have drank enough and don’t want anything else “

“ nah, trust me, this will give you energy “.

I have full trust so I had my suck on the pipe.
He was right.

I went from near drunk comatose to let’s dance all night 🙃

I will say it was the most amazing drug I have ever taken!

Just pure euphoria.

My brother is an addict but meth is just one of his issues.
I tried it about 3 x more out of the pipe and each time was a great experience but always a little less than the first.

I got a vibe about meth and seeing my mate using it constantly and completely out of control on it during our trip together.

I ended up asking him to blow his smoke after a pipe into my mouth because, why waste it?

I loved the more mellow vibe from the hit and his my mate.

We have shared worse.

In conclusion I had a safe experience and really enjoyed it.

Just the energy it gave and losing all the aches and pains and feeling 17 again.

The minor negative for me was it gave me a sore throat using the pipe ( why I asked for his breath meth)

The major negative is it’s as addictive as nothing else.

After a week I saw the future and knew instantly that this wasn’t for ( it hurts your mouth after a pipe. I wonder if this contributes too the dental issues meth users have?)me.

And it wasn’t for me, I could see clearly how it would ruin your life.

You can always chase that feeling from the first time but you will never gain it again.

Seriously after 3 pipes and several daily shared breaths.

It took me a month before the cravings went.

For much longer I couldn’t talk or be around friends using it without feeling I had have it.

Now it’s fine, if friends are using it around me I don’t mind taking a deep breath of the smoke but I know longer cravings or in anyway desire to use it again.

I completely understand how easy it can be to become addicted to both ice and meth.

Just because you become addicted to a drug doesn’t automatically your a bad person!

My friend is actually a well paid professional

Narcotics can get you by the balls and in life you can still function perfectly!

very good posting. Thanks

many years ago I had some 'crank'. they said it was 1/2 speed, 1/2 coke. May have been ice in the early days.
It had similar effects and the next day when I woke I new exactly what I wanted. More of it
dangerous, a hard drug
