The year was 2002. I was in this area of Atlanta called Little Five Points and this guy says he’ll give me some weed if we give him a ride. 

My stoner ass was like “let’s go.”

So we go to this place west of Atlanta that was called The Bluff (now a posh condo area known as West Midtown) and he makes me pull up in front of a house and turn my lights off. 

So I do and we wait. Cop lights come on behind me and they say to me “the only white people in this neighborhood are junkies or cops and you don’t look like cops” and I sheepishly explain this dude just needed a ride. Somehow they make him get back in the car with me and then he directs us to another house and tells us to do the same thing. 

We dipped.

the year was 2005 and my coworker was using these diet pills she got from a doctor in west oakland. one afternoon she gave me one, bc she said i hadta try it; would give me lotsa energy. not sure why she thought i'd want energy; 20 years ago i was like Hammy from Over the Hedge. anyway, i couldn't sleep and hadta go for a run at 3am. lesson: speed & me don't go well together.

I have a similar story but with multi-vitamin pills. I figured I'm extra sensitive to some combination of whatever was in the mix. Unfortunately I didn't save the jar so I'll never know for sure.

Many years later, I ordered a "tea with vitamins" at a cafe and had the same effect. I even went back to the cafe to ask what was in it but they said they had bought the tea in bulk and didn't save the ingredient list.

I could probably do some tests if I was really curious but now I just avoid any vitamin mix.
