Ok heres the deal, I was out in the shop working on the garden tractors (tires) and a person comes by. I keep working on the tires and they visit a while and leave. I need something from one of the work tables and go to get it and find a rig, a spoon all bent around and a plastic wrapped whitish soft ball (kinda like clay) of shit in plastic wrap.
Heres what I did, I used a big ass hammer on the rig, tossed the spoon in the recycle bin, and smashed the ball of shit into the ground.
Heres what I think I should have done, called the sheriff and had them pick it up and test it to see WTF it is, and if they can get prints from it.

I have not confronted the person I think left it, and now wonder (concerned) what it was (along with being pissed about it being there in the first place), and I know this person had a problem last year with crack cocaine. I dont want this shit around me (and this person knows it), you see when I was 16 I went to a "party", there were peanut butter jars everywhere with holes poked in the butter to settle the oil so they could shot it. There were also glasses of ice water for the same purpose. Now one idiot (can I use that word here?) goes outside, lifts the hood of his car, and opens the battery then fills his rig from it. Now back inside he injects himself with the battery acid, sets back and says "wow man this is the best rush I ever had in my life" as his blood veins blistered up his arm from the inside out. He then collapses dead, there were no windows left as folks went through them without opening them, doors busted off their hinges. Not a good impression on an impressionable 16 YO (or was it?). This left me not ever wanting to be around this kind of shit or people and Drs must do injections my way or they get hurt! I see needles as death from this experience. It did keep me from ever wanting to do hard drugs.
I have talked a few people off the needle, but most have ended up dead from OD. For me this is a very serious problem that weights heavy on my thoughts.

Now if you read this far, in your opinion what should I have done, and what would you do/have done?
Ok so I am going to set back and smoke a few bowl loads get relaxed, then go check the girls, come back and read posts.
 
Hmmmm...... I would probably confront said individual & let them know they are now persona non grata. I have zero tolerance & you know it. Clean up or stay away. I'm not gonna watch another friend waste their life..... or loose said life. Sorry. G'bye.
 
My door is always open to someone that wants to make better choices. Some of us have control of our demons and some of us don’t but in the end we all have choices to make.

If I were in your shoes I’d remind them that I draw a hard line with those kinds of life choices. If they need help conquering their demons I’ll be here to help them but if their demons are making the choices for them, my door clearly states “Go Away”!!
 
I think by getting rid of the stuff and not confronting the person, is in a sense leaving the door open.And that is in sense, enabling. I work with substance abuse users, in detox etc. and it's a hard thing to watch. I suspect this person left his 'rig' there to keep it in 'a safe place' till he or she could come retrieve it? f It seems you have a healthy sense of boundries, and I suggest you make your 'friend' respect that. Just my opinion.
 
I assume this is just an acquaintance, from your description. I would wait to see if he comes looking for his stash. If he's that bold, I would set him down and tell that story you related to us. I would then allow my voice to get intense (quiet whisper, bellow, whatever you can muster) and tell him that guy was lucky. He didn't have to go down that long, long spiral. Then explain that he is no longer welcome anywhere around your property, if he's using. Good luck!
 
Treat it like you would want someone else to treat you after finding your stash. Legal or not. Let it go until someone wants to make an issue. Check your 'Stand your ground' laws. If he approaches you about his softball, look him straight in the eye and say, "Use your words. What exactly are you asking me?" Don't blink. Don't look away.
A preemptive strike will just put the person in paranoid mode and he will suggest his friends also be paranoid about you. They hang out and share stories. However, if you return it to him, you will probably have a friend for life and he will suggest all his friends should also be your friend for life.
 
I probably would have reacted the same..i suppose you could have called the sheriff..they may test it but probably wouldnt bother with any follow up. Dont be surprised if said person pops up the next day or two snooping around the work bench..that is if they can remember where they left their stash. Tell them you gave it to the sheriff, and never set foot on your property again..make sure he understands exactly what you mean:). Also...i'd be locking everything up...if hes been in your shop/garage/barn.. he knows what you got!
 
Pretty much agree with homegrown here. I would have done the same. Doesn’t seems like a bad person - just an addict. Nobody want to be an addict in the first place, trust me. I battled drugs from the age of 14 to the day I went in the army, and the army helped me. Then made a professional life in there, took deployment. And ended up as a drug addicted again when I came home from the war. I really didn’t wanna do it. But I smoked crack cocaine, daily until the day I fell on the floor with an over dosis and struggling with white foam out of the mouth. The old dog we had, heard me falling, from the bedroom and run and tried to “wake me up” while barking loudly as shit until my wife heard. She gave me CPR and called 911. And from that day I never touch anything other than cannabis.
And the real lesson here - Be grateful for life ❤️
 
I got really busy and did not get back yesterday, sprayed all the gardens and 2 hickory trees, sorry, it was 2 AM before I hit the sack, and 4 when I got up, its gonna be long day. Coffee is down, as are some eggs toast and sausage, I hear the berry patch calling. For the next few weeks every AM I'll be picking berries, almost 1.5 gallons yesterday and with the dry and hot they will ripen fast. Its pick em or loose em, they look better in the freezer than on the ground, so off to the berry patch I stumble!
I will get back after while when things are done and do some replies.
 
I dont need "friends" like that, I grew up in a drug infested town, "6 square miles of junkies and thieves the only place you can go door to door and find any drug you want". If they dont want help, there is no help.
 
While I was picking berries this morning, my mother passed, it was expected may she rest in peace.
When it rains it pours,
Thanx all y'all
