The Sesh - UK Drug Culture
What kind of hypothetical drug use orientated culuture do you all experience?
The group of people I call my friends have a hypothetical very specific usage experience. Here social drug use is reffered to as 'the sesh'. There are various phrases relating to this such as if you are going to be doing drugs that night you are getting 'on the sesh'. If you opt out early of the sesh you may be (jokingly) accused of being a 'half sesh'. Having been 'on the sesh' is a well known and completely viable excuse for why you may appear to be down or not yourself at any given time. The sesh can last for anywhere between one day to an entire week! Although average time is usually around 2 days. The sesh usually happens once a week and is almolst always based around there being some kind of night on or a party. Although I have been known to get on the sesh for the simply sake of it being a wednesday lunch time.
There are a lot of sesh politics going on although not formally in place you just know what not to do. For example everyone tries to treat everyone very nicely making sure they are alright and if anyone is 'troughing' trying to help them out in any way possible. If you act like an idiot you may not get invited back to the sesh, although anything you may do that you later might find a bit embaressing (such as stripping on the sesh~! =o) is all forgotten as 'we are all friends here'.
Usual drugs involved are mainly pills, often speed, coke, week during although not to that much extent, alcohol to a lesser extent, speed and sometimes othere novelties like GHB. acid depending on who you are with and if it is a special event any acceptable drug such as 2CB, ketamine and rarely mushrooms. There are certain drugs that are not acceptavle such as smack, crack or meth, if people find out you have been taking these they will step in and try and talk you out of this. The thing about the sesh is you become very involved in your friends lives and people start to really care a lot about you. People on the sesh tend to be very trustworthy and honest, this is something I never expected from using drugs and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Many people from all walks of lives are on the sesh from various backgrounds and ages. I myself am 18 but have lots of friends 35+. People speak to you and treat you as an equal if you are someone who deserves it =).
Lots of novelties occur on the sesh such as 'rhaj' antics on the sesh like visiting the early learning centre and playing in the play houses! There are also sesh toys and accessories such as sesh hats (my friends have a group of people who all wear cowboy hats known as the trance cowboys). Recently we have been swamped with a batch of pills called harry potters. Using pills is now known effectionally as getting 'pottered in', or if you just having a bit of a wonder you are 'pottering about'! GHB usage is known as being G-B'd in or date raping yourself, using coke is known as getting on the coke train (chugga chugga, chugga chugga, woo woo!!)
Drug usage is actually quite large, and can get a bit messy, I think it may even seem a bit disturbing if you weren't up on the drug crack. Usage of pills can go up to 15 very strong pills in one night depending on who you are or a gram of mdma. Usage on average is 4 to 8 I would say.
Anyway, what's it like with all of you? =)
