What’s your best party story?

Mine was back in freshman year of college, right after my best friend got a felony for getting caught with a 10 mg Adderall that he decided to throw in the bottom of the car instead of eat. He lost his financial aid so he was having to go home, and we decided to have one last blowout together. We weren’t even planning on going to a party, but we were trying to find some Molly and our dealer decided to invite us to a party out in the suburbs.

Turns out this place was a mansion, complete with a bouncer at the door. At this point neither of us had been to any sort of parties on the scale, so we were a bit blown away. We stumbled around after getting some drinks and eventually found our guy. He told us he actually didn’t have Molly and despite claiming to me through text that he did. Instead he had 4-FA, a research chemical that he claimed was better than Molly.

Being a responsible, nerdy drug abuser, I decided to pull out my phone and do some research then and there. Right as I was reading the first couple of articles, people started screaming that the cops were there. My friend looked at me, said “I guess we have to take them,” so we popped the pills, ran from the cops, drove back and stayed up all night reminiscing. (And rolling hard!)

For the record that gave me quite a scare, so my partying days toned down quite a bit afterward. I count myself extremely lucky to never have gotten into any issues with law enforcement despite my somewhat questionable actions. Also, this is the highlight of almost a decade of substance use, so my experience in the seedy underbelly hasn’t been all that glamorous. I certainly don’t want to try and put the drug use lifestyle on a pedestal, this story is an outlier.

I’m curious to hear similar stories from other Mottizens, substance related or not. Any wild nights in your past?

Hah, thanks for sharing! Sounds like y’all had a great time. I agree you’re a very lucky man! I’ve long extolled the virtues of yoga, seems like you’ve been able to get some firsthand lessons as well.

Funnily enough, I got her into yoga, dragged her to a free class her first time. Turned out to be something she really loved, became an instructor. Same thing with my best friend and Spartan races, I'd done a couple on a whim, my brother in law wanted to run one with me in my hometown, I dragged my best man along kicking and screaming because I didn't want to spend all day with my brother in law and no designated driver. I had to drag him over most of the obstacles, he was kinda fat then. My best man wound up loving it so much, he now runs 20+ a year, lost 90lbs, and sometimes even wins them.

So if I ever try to get you to try something, do it, it might just be your calling. On the other hand my wife and I are a combined 0/19 on "Will they last?" Questions. So... Don't listen to me on that, do the opposite.
