Mixing drugs and casual encounters: is that really wise?
I'm constantly surprised to see people looking for casual sex and drugs on CL and other sites. Maybe it's because my very first hookup was with a cop who told me that he likes to cruise CL for easy arrests, but it just strikes me as a bad idea.
Now, I've never used illegal drugs, and not because I have anything against them, but, really, mostly because I'm lazy and don't know where to find them and was busy being a goody-two-shoes during the years when my peers were getting busy experimenting with mood-altering substances. So I'm willing to assume that I'm missing something really, really hot by not mixing my sex with drugs.
But it still seems a little foolish to post about drugs on a public website, where the person responding might well be into what you're into, but could just as easily be a cop. Maybe I'm missing some magic code that people have, a secret handshake to allow each to prove to the other that they are for real? Still, I can't say I'd trust that in a casual setting.
Ultimately, I'm in favor of people making choices for themselves, including whether or not to use drugs, but given just how crazy drug laws are these days, I remain surprised what people are willing to put into "print".

I believe it was Howard the Duck who was "Trapped in a world he did not create!" (as the banner of his comic screamed out every month) but that damn duck stands for all of us, on one level or another. ClueChick, you truly are a sensible girl in an insensible world. Your prose is whipsmart and delightfully to the point. Your observations in this particular entry are little more than common sense (I don't mean that as an insult -- you more or less imply this is the case yourself) and yet you put them across with such winning wordage that I am left wanting more.

Thanks, Bascomb! I think that pretty much everything I write is common sense, but it's still pleasing that people want to read it :)
