Need help to know what to look for

[newmommy1982]

Just wondering - could anyone please tell me things to look for to know if someone is smoking crack in your home? I already know about the chore boy, glass rose, and pens.  Please tell me of anything else you know of that I need to keep my eyes open for?? Thanks in advance!!

Oh look for pieces of tubing, like plastic or anything like that too.

Hi Sweetie, I know I was suppose to write you I have been dealing with you know who, and it has been a nightmare...

In addition to Ali226172's comments, I have to go with what I see living with an addict...

I see:

WIDE EYES
CRACK PIPES
HE EVEN SMOKES OUT OF THE ENDS OF TOOLS, ( I dont know what it is, but he does it I seen him)
LOOK FOR PIECES OF MESH

Look for caps to needles, or anything like that, even needles...the plunge thing ..anything needle realated....
OBVIOUSLY NOT EVEYONE ACTS THE SAME....
my Husband, gets paranoid, and creeps around hearing noises.
He is not talkative, and basically hides in the basement.
Mood swings are a huge sign too, like other post says...
Sunk in face is a huge tell all sign, especially when they are heavy users for days, and not eating at all, or sleeping...

Baking soda for sure, but only if he is buying coke and making the crack him self, which takes alot of time, so if he is doing that in the house I am sure you would notice.... watch for spoons going missing...

Vinegar...mixes with the coke I think when you shoot it...

Anyways honey...You know I am here for you...Msg me let me know how things are going...My life is sucking right about now!!!

*Hugs*

Hi This is some info from an article and some of my personal feed on drug addict behavior...

What to look for in a crack user?
*look for needle tracks or bleeding nasal cavities
*glass pipe
*An increase in talkativeness and energy
* No appetite and lose weight quickly
* Mood Swings- sleepiness as the drug wears off
* If they suddenly start borrowing from friends or family or getting cash advances from work, they are likely using the money to buy crack.

** Keep an eye out for paraphernalia such as Brillo pads, baking soda, matches, and glass pipes. Also be aware of the use of masking devices such as cough drops or cigarettes

I hope that helps you.... also look for physical appearance too- sunken eyes, not well groomed, baggy cloths to hide weight lose.....

Good Luck!!
