A few years back, I met up wth an associate of mine at this bar that he was DJing at and after it ended he invited me to a house gathering. I figured it may have a nice crowd since the guy throwing it was a 30 year old black professional who owned a newly built home in Northern, Va. So, I felt secure with knowing that..WRONG! So, I walk in the door and all I smell is WEED! Ugh, I hate weed smell. Keeping in mind, I've HONESTLY never tried weed and/or cigarettes. Plus the crowd was mad young for it to be at a darn 30 year olds home! So, I said to myself, self, just stay for 30 minutes then leave. I didn't want to look like an uppidy kneegrow lol. So, as I stepped over the weedheads in the stairwell and tried to ger over the horrible stench of his unkept pets lingering in the house I see some YOUNG girls acting crazy. The 27 year old guy that was standing next to me states "Oh, that is just my girlfriend and her friends. Don't mind them they are on dippers." I respond "How old is she?" He says proudly "17." Disgusted at this I say, "What the hell is a dipper?" He laughs and says "Weed laced with embalming fluid." WTHHHH
Let me tell you, I grabbed my keyes so fast and got the hell up outta there. As I walked out I see some early 20 something black folks doing lines of cocaine. When I was growing up in my hood, young black people didn't do anything beyond REGULAR weed. It was so not cool to do anything else or you would have been labeled a CRACK HEAD and/or GEEKER!! Young black folks doing for real for real drugs is news to me or maybe I was just out of the loop! I hope the youth of today are not embarking on all this craziness out here. Taking pills, lacing stuff , and snorting anything is so NOT cool to me and quite crack-headish!
P.S. I'm still amazed that the little black chick on the current season of the Real World is a former meth-addict. WHAT black girl does Meth? I aint never heard of meth until I saw it on tv in Nebraska or somewhere. In the Roc they do weed and geekers do crack and heroin...well, black folks in the Roc.
So, I ask my readers (I'm so bootleg) if I'm just GLADLY out of the loop or is this quite common?

Dude... you just educated me! Who comes up with these drugs!?!?!
*waving* Hey Kasondra!
I don't get down with or condone all that extra curricular drug use, but growing up where I grew up I saw it all, so yeah, black kids were doing lines etc, etc
stop by my spot :-)
*B*
I know of youth that have been doing these drugs and more since I was in high school in DC. Nah, I don't condone it either but that's the reality. Yeah, so you're out of the loop on this one. I haven't seen kids doing lines those but weed, crack, dipper,Love boat - marijuana dipped in formaldehyde; PCP;
blunts mixed with marijuana
and heroin. Folks been doin that for a long time
Wow that is crazy, 17? dippers? crack lines? I must be out the loop as well or maybe I'm not out the loop. Perhaps we been on top of things for so long, we have no time really focus on whats going on at the bottom.

First of all, why in the world was dude 27 and dating a 17 year old?!?! Dippers, laced weed??? I've seen all of this talked about on Oprah, with just about every other race except for African American kids. I've NEVER heard about black kids doing lines!
I don't think you’re out of the loop. I just think that today's young (black) people unfortunately, just don't care and are so jacked up in the head!
Yea, black folk been doing boat and dippers for a minute. If u remember a story around this time last year some lady ran her SUV into a crowd at Unifest... she was off that boat. Also Ray J just caught kicked out of a DC hotel for having boat.

Good blog lol.
I think that it is crack headish and I do not think that you are out of the loop. I have never heard of black people doing anything other than weed and crack. (Now you know you saw a crackhead before running around here. You probably bought your TV from one lol) It is crazy but more and more black kids are growing up in white neighborhoods and going to white schools, so you never know. Its probably kool where ever they are from. OH YEAH and ole boi with the 17 year old girlfriend, you should of smacked the hell out of him and then called them boys! lol
Girl yes we black folk do white folk things too. You know how we do things, we are closet doers and lovers of all things. I surely am not a bit surprised, but you did school me on a new name for laced weed!
I am fully aware of all of that you mentioned but not because im "SOOOO Enlightened" lol . . . I just have to because of my job as a School System prevention specialist. We have to be up on allllll the things that our kids are doing. If you think the drugs are bad lets not even get into the middle school orgies and gangbangs that go on with drugs included. People are so confined to their own lives (especially if you dont have or work with kids)and minding their own buisness that they do become out of the loop. We have to stay alert and aware. This stuff is soo common. I see it every single day. Ignorance is bliss until it hits your home or family then your shocked wondering how it happened. Talk to your kids, cousins, siblings, cuz if you dont someones else will lol sorry if I sound like a Public Service Announcement, but Im so tired of consoling the blindsided parents of these lost teens.
Gurl please! Black folks been doin all kinds of drugs for the longest. It's just a sad sitchiation!
Wat up Sis!
Id love to know the psychology of it. Seems like more of our people are abusing drugs bc of their fear w/ life xperiences. For example in the club im willing to bet that most people drink/over drink bc they are fearful of minglin and dancin sober.
Drugs suck. People betta recognize!
No Kasondra you are not out of the loop at all. Wacked out but true story I'm about to tell...I found out about "dippers" approx. 3 years ago. My ex's FATHER offered it to me because he knew I smoked cheba. We were at a bbq. I call myself creeping off to a cut to take some puffs off my "herb" and he(ex's father)comes out of the woods literally looking like a dayum deer caught in the headlight! I couldn't figure out why he was looking so spaced out. I mean he ruined my high. I asked him what he was up to and he showed me what he had. He still had it lit and it smelled like poison. I didn't smell any type of weed at all. Just think of what else we could be totally clueless about. I mean his father is in his mid 40's so it's been around for a while I'm sure. My ex told me his father has been smoking "dippers" for quite a while. I just never asked what it was because I didn't want to seem "out of the loop" but truth is I've NEVER done or tried anything besides marijuana and being out of the loop really ain all bad to be honest with you.
