Filed in Category Symptoms of Crack Use
An engaged couple I’m living with may be using crack or a similar drug. The female has lost lot of weight and looks really unhealthy. They are both claiming they have scabies and bugs crawling out of their skin. They say they will pick them about and the bugs will shrivel up. The said they went to the dermatologist for it, but his mom said they never went. Also different, random men will come to the apartment at all hours of the night. The couple is constantly locked up in their room, they’ve both lost their jobs and neither of them are looking. The female was diagnosed with white brain matter disease about a year ago and claims that’s whats causing all her symptoms of being belligerent and randomly getting bad cases of vertigo. They’ll be up for days at a time, then stay in bed for about a week. I think I may be ignoring all of the signs, but I really care about the female. She’s been addicted to pain killers almost my whole life. Also I found burnt spoons with residue on them in their room a while ago andthere was a confrontation, she went to the hospital and they held her for 72 hours. She said she only tried it once because she was out of her pain medication, and they “didn’t even do it right”. But recently I found two glass pipes, about the width of a pencil and the length of my pinky finger. Both of them were broken on one side and had some sort of brown residue on the inside of the other end. I don’t want to ignore the signs and have this go further but I can’t jump to conclusions and ruin this persons life again. This is a really bad situation and I have no clue what to do. I’m crying almost everyday because if I do anything and I’m wrong, I’m sure my mom will never talk to me again.
Oh and sorry this is such a long post!
I’m 17 and have no other living situation right now. I’ve asked people if I could stay with them who know about my situation, but it’s a no go on everyones part.
And yeah, I would know if it was pot, because I smoke marijuana. I don’t see it as a drug.

either that or shes anorexic and dirty or on meth
obviously they are using some types of drugs, could be crack, heroin, meth, or marijuana. given their symptoms, i’d say its crack or meth. this is a hard situation, but if it really bothers you then the best solution would be to talk to the couple about it. at least get the full story, and if you move out then you move out and it’ll be better for you. crack and meth are highly addictive and destroy your body, so you dont want to be around ppl that do those types of hard drugs
Why would your mother never speak to you again? Is this about your Mother? Is there somewhere else you can live?
You never explained what your mom had to do with the situation.
From what you describe, I’d say you’re definitely living with two drug users (and the kind of drugs doesn’t matter). I’d also say your best bet is to get out of that living situation – IMMEDIATELY.
Yes you are, or else she is using cocaine and methamphetamines. The symptoms and behavior you describe are those of coke and meth users.
You could get someone to check them from the County health Dept. Sad as it is, though, they both might not be saved. A person who uses drugs stops because they want to stop, not for someone else.
Pray for them, tell them how you are afraid for them and try to get aid from county health.
You can attend NA meetings and learn how best to deal with them.Also you will get great support at NA.
Blessings for you and them.
Most importantly – can you get out of this house and live somewhere else (or kick them out)? There is only so much you can do for these people – they have to WANT to get help in order to quit. However, if they have people coming over at odd hours (especially if they are drug dealers) this puts YOU in a potentially dangerous situation. Find someone else to live with if you can!
It shouldn’t be up to you to “fix everything”, but if you are concerned, you should talk to a close friend or family member about what is going on. You can say, “Hey… I might be wrong, but I’m a little bit concerned about _____ and her fiancee. I’ve found a lot of evidence of drug use (and then list off everything you’ve said). Maybe it’s all a coincidence, but I care about them and don’t want anything bad to happen.” If you say something similar to this, it is not likely to offend anybody you talk to.
Good luck!
she says she only tried once because of being out of meds… sorry but is an addicts excuse allowing it to happen. one of my family members was heavy into drugs and he came up with all types of excuses as to why he acted a certain way or why we would find stuff. honestly if they go out for any length of time DO NOT search their stuff. some people would I would not. For your safety if they find out. and omg bugs crawling?… my uncle said shit like that it wa very odd. he would say things like “their coming for me just wait they’ll be here” everyone has a diff trip. confront them. you could even do a fast one on them and trick them into thinking your looking for drugs. as them what they have and make sure you secretly record the situation for proof. they may need help and bad.you could include in your I do drugs convo with something like. man that fucking party was great. best shit I ever had. whatever it takes to convince them you do it [if they're on drugs most of there time they wont recall you coming or going.] now if they offer it to you just tell them you have to get the money but you wanted to look around and they came up as a thought. then you want to make sure you get them help. even if you have to talk to the police and get them to come over at a time when your not their but watching from afar. believe me if they ever see you again after getting arrested for bad drugs [I smoke pot nothing wrong with that] and they know you ratted them out for yours others and their safety look out. just make sure your not around and make sure your not mentioned if the police do investigate. just give all the same details even more to the police. another thing you could do is when their not around call a drug rehab place and ask questions about signs and symptoms. whats this about your mom? you never gave ay detail if shes doing it stick to what I said. if not remember to show her your recoring after as proof so she understands you were not lying. if your moms doing it you have to let her know you love her and youll always be there. but dont over do it. users dont care about that shit much.
Another thing…. if your 17 you might be able to go into a foster home till your 19 or can get a place. your still a minor. just let them know your situation. the system wants a safe youth trust me.
