Sometimes people just think I am high on something.

Does anyone ever get that?

Oh yes. Usually half-jokingly though. More frequent is people wondering if I'm sane.

Quite a bit actually. I'm not, but I might seem that way because I'm socially awkward (weird) and get a glazed look when I'm absorbed in something or thinking. I'll also stare fixedly at things that other people don't think are interesting at all. None of that is disruptive, but people have commented that they thought I was stoned.

yes when was younger, in my late teens, early twenties. Many people wanted to look at my eyes.
I would always tell them "I don't need to do drugs, I have them built in inside me"

I have been offered weed before becouse someone thought I was high/interested, have had drug dealers think I looked like a potential customer on the street. In both cases I was either not feeling well or tired from a 19 hour day. I have never used drugs or have been drunk though, I think the aspie demeanor and my personal looks confuse people.

Looking back in middle school, people might've thought I was drunk. I wasn't. I have balance and speech problems.

On several occasions I've had random strangers ask to buy weed from me. I don't even smoke it, let alone sell it... and this has usually happened just walking down the street in the daytime, in areas and situations that aren't connected with drug use in any way. Some of them haven't even asked if I have any first before asking to buy it.

Yes. It was actually an assumption I embraced when I was attending school. People who believed I was a recreational drug user were less likely to bother/tease me. So it goes.

People always think I'm on MDMA, once a bouncer nearly denied me entry into a club. The funny thing is, I don't take drugs at all, I don't even drink.

I was asked that once (or twice), but it was only because of my usual behavior mixed with my eyes always being bloodshot (sensitivity to light causes blood to rush to them, it hurts usually).
