LOL @ the "second hand high" leading to a "lapse in judgement."
I'd just apologize and don't make that mistake again. And stop lying.
Slightly related:
A "close" friend (read: coworker I'm pretty cool with at work) was giving me a short ride to a bar, when I decided to tell him about how shitty and irresponsible my little brother is after a recent situation. I mentioned that while he does take care of his son, he's pretty much a bum in every other way and that his son is the only responsibility he takes care of. I mentioned:
He used to be addicted to coke, but has been clean for years (still smokes weed)
He's never held a steady job, but works doing landscaping, etc. for cash
He's selfish with his money, but expects others to pay his way
He hasn't had a "clean" (read: non suspended) license in years
Has almost no ambition to do anything except hang with his friends getting high and drunk
Despite being 29, still sags his pants like he's in middle school.
And my friend responds: "oh, so like a typical black dude?"
Me: FUCK YOU.
Him: "What? I didn't mean it like that, I mean look at you --"
Me: silence, because we had arrived at the destination and I got out.
I've been extremely distant since then, because if I have the discussion I want to have with him about it, I know I'm gonna lose my shit.
