Invited a neighbor over tonight as we are both bipolar...just to kind of feel the situation out. So we are sitting there drinking Coca Cola. Then I get the runs and my heart starts racing and my thoughts get manic and I am sweating then when I turn pale my guest says are you okax? Turns out she has a boyfriend that has shet for brains and suggested she give me a little lift by putting a lot of powder cocaine in my soda. What was she thinking. I did not go to the hospital as this person said they would take me to jail. I remember thinking I would rather be alive and in jail then dead. Stuff wore off about half an hour later. With meds I could have died! Why do people want to dose me? Last time someone handed me crack and told me it was weed. The girl appologised to me but she seemed to be under the control of her friend. I want to press charges but do not have proof. My brain chemistry is not a play toy for people to get my addiction going! I never ran into this when I lived above the poverty line. What gives?

What did she mean when she said she would take you to jail?

Where did you meet her? How long have you known her?

How are you feeling now?

[NuckingFutz]

She lives in the apartment under me. What she meant was if I called 911, they would have taken me to the ER. Once they ran a tox panel on my urine her boyfriend said they would take me to jail. I did not put that poison in my drink! She did. She wispered he was looking for "new customers" like I would put that poison in my own body! How do I feel? Like I just encountered my first bout of major depression like I have never known before. So much for making new bipolar friends. I am glad I believe in Karma. I have crisis numbers at the ready if I need them. And I have here. Man this depression is bad!

[Yoda]

Gah. What awful neighbors. Sorry for you.

I think she was misleading you when she said if you went to an ED they would send you to jail when they got your urine results. If an officer brought you to the ED and you were charged with a crime then law enforcement would have access to your positive drug screen. But if you went in without being charged with a crime the ED physician would not call law enforcement to report you. Or shouldn't anyway.

It sounds as though your neighbor is manipulative.

Stay well.

[radio_flyer]

Geesh.. What a neighbor... If that happened to me I would never have anything more to do with that neighbor......I would stay as far away as I could from her.... Trust has been broken..... Friends/neighbors like that who needs enemies........You do not need people like that in your life....

Glad you are feeling better now... Please be safe.........

[NuckingFutz]

I still may file a report. She had to have touched the can. Why did she do it? He promised her the rock kind of drug. I think that is how he controls her. Did some quick reading. Says the stuff's more addicting than anything else on Earth. Feeling less irritable. I just felt horrible when the stuff started to wear off. These people have no morals. I also read that some disabled people spend their whole disability checks on these drugs and all their money is gone in a matter of days. Can you imagine? Your tax dollars hard at work!

[darkside35]

that was just low i had someone do that to me with another substance and i thought i was going to die,they thought it was all a big joke! i would have nothing to do with her. you have to wonder about people, thats why i don't have friends exept on here its safer hope you are ok and if you can press charges!

Sorry about what happened, NF. My suggestion is for you to call the Texas State Bar Association. See if you can get referred to a criminal lawyer for a free consultation. Ask about the ramifications of reporting this incident. You might get told to play it safe and say nothing. On the other hand, you may be helping getting a dealer off the street.

Of course, you need to be sure you will be safe.

[valfor]

((((((nuckingfutz)))) I to cannot believe there is people out there with that kinda sick humour! hope all is well and I would stay as far as you can away from that neighbor.

[NuckingFutz]

Called the cops and they took the can and a statement and gave me a cause number. Gave them description. One of the police was a mental health officer which helped. He explained that the guy that did this was a middle man. Not a dealer but a middle man. He buys from a dealer, tries to hook people around him. If someone gets hooked they call him and he takes half and the other half goes to the poor sap who got addicted. Said I was right about people who have given up on life and are on disability...they book more people in at the beginning of the month. Says social services is swamped near the end of the month when the addicts get desperate. Officer said if all the addicts checks came to him for just one month, he could retire. Told him he would have a shot at writing a book instead. Gave me same tips as on here...stay away. If approached run or use my foreign language skills or hand them one of his cards (he gave me some). Feel a lot better. Thanks for reading and responding and caring.

I wouldn't think of what you did and it's good to know. I have just smoked cigarettes (tobacco) But... one day a neighbour invited me while in her house to try hers. She knew I don't like my addiction but didn't find yet anything better to replace it. She knew also that I never tried drugs; my luck was that before lightening the cigarette that I took, thinking to be polite or maybe curious of her brand of tobacco, she said something about the smell (that I didn't realize what was) and said "marijuana" I got mad at her but I was thankful she told me... I didn't smoke but 10 min later she was like crazy, being in her house I could get out and stay away of her. I am not talking about because I heard is something enough common. It's not my business but I wouldn't like at all what happened to you.

Reading your story I asked my teenager to come and read the thread...

Thank you!

A tally ho ho ho and toodle pip to you, NF. Well done.

[splitimage]

Oh man NF - I would be so freaking furious it wouldn't be funny. Glad you didn't come to any serious harm. Definitely keep away from those people.

Good for you NF for reporting this crime. She should be ashamed of herself since you could have had a serious drug interaction, due to the medications you're on. This really makes me mad to hear what people do to others. I hope they arrest both of them. They wouldn't arrest you because you were victimized. I'm glad you're okay now.

[notz]

Be careful Ms. Futz.

You and your swooshing tail are very important to us.

[NuckingFutz]

Thanks everyone. Noticed a security guard in the parking lot. I am glad they are taking this seriously. I have heard of people doing this in clubs.

[lynn P.]

This is my husbands biggest fear for our daughters - that one someone would put something in their drink when they're older. My husband had a customer in the other day and she told him about her daughter, who's casual aquantance put ecstasy in her drink and she never seemed to be the same person afterwards. If you ever see this girl again, you should kick her butt.

[billieJ]

NF - so sorry this happened to you. The depression must have been terrible, and you were mistreated so badly. I would imagine that police did all they could and that they were 100% on your side. I know that I am. is what you are. So glad you are a bit better! billieJ

[Belle1979]

Glad the situation has turned out okay.
I can't believe that a neighbour would do that! What a terrible thing to do to someone x

[NuckingFutz]

Apparently this is how this guy gets new customers (aparently this is how they get new "customers". He must have gone to the Dumbas$ school of Business. Went to pdob today and told him what happened and changed the dosage of my antidepressant for the next 3 days just to ensure my brain chemicals stay balanced. Think the girl got addicted a while ago and helps him so she can get whatever drugs she's hooked on. Found out she got her daughter taken away from her (hurray for Child Protective Services) and that she has a drug felony. Surprise surprise! Thanks for all your supportive responses.

[NuckingFutz]

Well, caught a glimps of my neighbor while getting the mail. I did not say anything to her but I am angry and depressed she is still free...I am really and sad and depressed. So here I am on the board writing to my MI friends for comfort. I have written in my journal about it and one strange thing kept coming up. Before the drink incident, it seemed to bother her that there were dishes in my sink. She mentioned them three times in that short visit. I was feeling depressed and have had no energy to do dishes. Then she felt a tangle in my cats fur and wanted to get it out right then. I felt judged. And that was all before the dosing. She is bipolar but she is bossy and mean. Now why would this bother me if I do not want to have anything to do with her? PS The dishes are still in the sink! Ha! Sticks tounge out!
