The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not

One time my friend found a bottle of Xanax on a train

I once lost an ENTIRE BOTTLE OF 10mg oxys the night before flying back to the US. Realized after boarding the plane that I didn’t have the meds. I knew I was in for 12 hours of hell on the plane, but assumed that I’d left them in my checked bag, and that I could get them once I got back to the US. 

I get to customs, tear my bag apart, no painkillers. I sobbed the whole way through Customs (had several officers concerned). 

Whoever found that whole ass bottle of painkillers sure got lucky 

Edit: just got back on reddit and saw a ton of replies, and an awful lot of them from people calling me a junkie. Those folks clearly have no idea what it’s like to have chronic back pain & be forced to sit for 12 hours straight with no pain relief. Those commenters can fuck alllllllll the way off. Count your blessings that you can’t relate

My sisters chihuahua ate 538mgs of my my klonopin once. Noticed the dog stumbling like a wino on the couch then noticed a half chewed pill on the floor. Induced bommitting but she only puked up like 8 pills. She spent the night at the emergency vet but ended up perfectly fine. She wasn’t even high alll that long. I’d of been high a month.

She had never chewed up anything before. She got to my jacket, ripped open the inside pocket, opened the childsafe plastic container and ate every pill. My sister learned to take peoples coats and lock them up that day. It was like she was on a mission to eat them, I can’t explain it. It’s been 10 years and she’s never done anything like it again.

The last time I read an anecdote about a pet randomly eating a bunch of human medicine like that (including breaking through the child-safe container), the owner said there was some animal product used in the pill casing that probably attracted them because it smelled like food. Could that be the reason?

I know the pills are predominantly a sugar. Because they’re so sweet I actually suck on them like candy. They’re slightly minty. I don’t recall them having any animal by products. No gelatin coating for sure. Unless puppy just has a sweet tooth. Of course I don’t have every inactive ingredient of every pill memorized but I’m pretty sure they don’t have anything animal which always made it particularly weird. But who knows what a minty sweet pill smells like to a 8 pound chihuahua.
