? to Ask, About Brother's Behavior, Use of Aluminium Foil? Posted: 07-05-05 21:07pm
On 3 seperate occassions, I have seen my
brother take a small piece of aluminum
foil square shape and then take a hammer
and pound on it several times.
I ask what are you doing, and he says he
is going to fix something
which is not an answer,?
I have no idea what he is doing, and I am
wondering if it is drug related, something
used for it
not for making a bowl for pot, I use to do
that when I was kid
his behavior has me concerned,
any info would be helpful, and I am
grateful for you taking the time to read
this, I know this sounds weird,
much thanks

Maybe crushing some pills.. Or he may be
using some tip he got off the home
improvement channel that involves fixing
something with foil :p

It could be crack <using the foil to
smoke it>, okay not cocaine because he
could be something easier to use than
foil. And pills the same. Probably used
for crack to break the rock and smoke it
:( it could be either of the other two not
really sure but probably crack :(

He's almost certainly crushing up some
pills. Probably snorting the powder.
If he has add and takes meds for that, he
might be crushing up dexedrine beads and
snorting the powder. I used to grind up
dexedrine spansules, although I didn't use
the aluminum foil. Of course he may also
not have add, but he could be getting add
meds from his friends. Some kids sell
add pills in school.
Just watch to see if he's either gaining
or losing weight. If he's eating a lot
and gaining weight, he's using painkillers
(percocet, vicodin) most likely. If he's
losing weight and doesn't eat that much,
he's using stimulants (speed pills, like
adderall, ritalin, dexedrine.)
i generally wouldn't be concerned until he
seems to look sick a lot. You might want
to ask what's going on at this point.
Knowing drug users, he's not going to tell
anyone what he is doing. The best idea
is to either sit and wait a little (don't
go to your parents!), or maybe tell his
best friend that you have concern for your
brother. And maybe his friend can ask
him if there's a problem.
I think that may be your best bet. I
wouldn't advise telling your parents right
away unless you're really worried.
Lemme know how it works out! And he'll
get through it. Eventually all drug
users have to quit, especially in
addiction.

I totally agree its pretty easy to get
your hands on pills. At that age which is
either middle or high school. Most
teenagers will go for anything if another
teenager says it gets them high. It could
even be esctasy. Just watch him and try
to keep watch how he acts. If he is
sleepy or if he is drinking alot of water,
if his pupils are big and dialated. See
if he stays up late too that could all be
signs. Its either pills or crack. And on
either he is going to change his eating
habit, on crack he will probably be real
alert, very shacky,scratchy red eyes. And
since the feeling doesn't last long, its
easy to get hooked so he will if he hasn't
already start selling things to get money
for his habbit. And another way to tell
if he is on drugs really bad is if he is
asking for money alot or if you notice
things he owns start disappearing this
probably means he is selling stuff to get
drug money or trading his stuff for
drugs.
Just watch his behavior. And good luck I
hope you catch whatever is going on.He's
lucky he has someone who loves him and
cares because alot of kids don't.
Keep us posted and you can write me
anytime if you have any questions pm or
email me at treys
_girl06@yahoo.Com I have had alot of
family members that have been addictied to
almost every drug and maybe I can help
you. I would be glad too. :)

i'm sorry I have to stop you there. What
the heck does this mean?? No they don't I
know many friends who have died in
addiction. Many of them don't realize
they are killing them self. I am also an
addict and there was a point where I
didn't care if drugs killed me or if I
could quit just as long as I was high.
The results are always the same for
addicts; jails, institutions and death.
So no, not all drug users have to quit,
many of them just die trying.
