Thread: Reefer Madness all over again?

I agree with Master. The best high is a lungful of air and a clear mind, but I say that as a man who is getting older and know I haven't always looked after myself the best I could. It was my birthday the other day, so I had a few drinks and TBH I felt so bad the next day, almost as though I had been poisoned. So, once again I am just enjoying clean living.

People can take what they like and it should all be legal, but getting drunk or doing drugs is a young persons game and it can serve no long time purpose and is only going to hurt you eventually. It was interesting to read that young Brits are shunning drink and drugs and that is good to see. Not because I am an old prude, but because it is sensible. It's probably too expensive to go out as a young person anymore too! Wages down 8% but alcohol up 22% in the past 7 years! That's INFLATION!

With Cameron in government and being unemployed for 6 months the last thing you want is to be punished sweeping the roads, makes you want to take drugs.

So your fear stops you from trying a spliff.

It does. Not being in control of my senses in scary.

That is scary I agree but I think that is more hallucinogens than pot.

If anything its the exact opposite.

This is undoubtedly true. Weed affects people differently. I've seen people floored by quite innocuous stuff and really potent stuff just bouncing off others. And you can get three experienced stoners all trying something new and coming up with three different opinions.

Do people who bash weed, bash cigarettes? Oh, there's a sales tax on that...nevermind.

A Sales Tax so fucking high that the Mayor of NYC will berate the police to arrest people selling loose cigarettes which causes the city, county, and state of NY money.....you're welcome Eric Garner.


I get that some people hate tobacco products as well and I've had my fair share of family members and friends who have succumbed to cancer and heart disease due to the uses of those products, but at the end of the day it's a LIFE CHOICE. Actions have consequences and it's up to the individual to decide what is right for them.

I had a run in with some of the fake weed, "Spice" "K2" whatever that shit is.....I guess I had an allergic reaction or something but I haven't touched it since then. I was pretty much out of commission for 2 days with panic attack like symptoms, chills, and sweats it was like a nightmare....all I did was take some Benadryl and try to stay calm about it and eventually it wore off, but I swore off that fake shit IMMEDIATELY!

The fake stuff is dangerous because you smoke it thinking "oh this will be just like pot" noooooope it'll take you to level 10 of 10 on the high scale and then crank it up to 20. It was novel to try at first but once I had that episode I said NEVER AGAIN.

Pot is easier to control, if you're "too high" you just put the shades on, play some music, and relax because you'll come down after a while.

Tea instead, do not like even taking aspirin.

What about these date rape drugs?

Screw weed, if I'm going to do drugs it's gonna be something cool like heroin...George Carlin

Just 5,6 years ago I was around it a lot. I picked it up last month after being smoke free for that time and even the emphasis of "kind" or the more potent strains compared to "reggie" blew me away. If it wasn't the pooka...no one wanted to deal with it. Like, weed snobs The intake methods, amounts and a lowered tolerance level had me feeling like a first time toker. If you are full of worries and stress before a puff you will ease physically but the mind is still very much aware, sometimes even increasing them.
