dont see what all the fuss is about myself,
i used to smoke it all the time but i just cant be bothered anymore.
my bro canes a serious ammount of it, and rarely gets his sh|t together. i just end up feeling drowsy and ill if i have anything more than a couple of tokes.
i guess i missed out on the smoking genes or something
i'm much more of an alcohol orientated man:D
dont see what the big deal is with getting it legalised, it's totally harmless
so you have no problem with smoking crack & jacking upNow I'll smoke it if its around and would not stop at that. Would try anything bar acid or lsd.

Alot of my friends smoke it, but I don't see the point in it as I've never got the "feeling" that my friends claim to get all the time. I don't see the point in hash as drink does more and actually makes you feel differant rather than drowsy. Anyway, a majority of the people I know who smoke it alot just seem to turn into slow witted morons
I pro choice on legalization but I'd hate see everyone turn into towel heads.0 -

I never bought the stuff. I first tried it a couple of years ago. Since then I've tried it here and there, only a couple of times. If you asked me did I smoke it, I would say NO. Not that I'm against it, or anything, it someone wants to do it, let them off, a person can decide for themselves. But in recent times, and at a time that I should have been focusing on my degree exams in college, I did a major dose of the stuff, along with some enhansing stuff to raise the buzz. The evening was orgainsied my someone else, but I take full responsibility for participating, but I really didn't know what I was getting myself in to.
Between me and 3 others we had a 1/4. Which (for the mathematically elite) is an 1/8 each. We put in in a drink with this aditive, that apparently hightened the effect (and it do, OMFG it DID). This was the part that I was oblivious to before I did it.
Anyway 1.5 hours after I had it, I was having these amasing ideas, that I started to write down. To this day I remember the things I was thinking, and TBH they were really kewl, and really deep. You may laugh, but I swear they even made sense, when I snapped out of it. But there lied the problem. The problem was that I didn't snap out of it for almost 48 hours. 24 hours after I first had it I returned home, to a housewarming in my own family's house. Only 2 members of my family noticed that there was something wrong with me, but have never said anything ot my mother (thank god, she would worry). What was wrong with me is that I didn't have physical control. Even thought my thoughts were very deep, and probably too deep. I was bouncing off walls, yet I was solving mathematical problems that would probably have us all living on Mars by now.
So right now I've have voted that I don't smoke ganja (or whatever you like to call it). I don't hold anything against anybody that does, but for that split second (or 48 hours) where I lost control, I didn't like it, and I remember asking a friend of mine is there a place I can go, that I can regain control or get away from the place my mind is at. That scares the **** out of me, and for that reason I don't care to do it again.
Call me what you like. But I have had people that have done it for years, tell me the coctail that I did that night, was complete madness, and it was complete luck that I managed to travel 50 miles back to my home city in one piece under the influence of what I had taken.
The moral of my story: If you haven't: Don't. If you have: Don't go any further. It's not worth it.
Take care

thats why they call it mind-altering drugs ?
on a serious note, you are absolutly right , some peoples lives are changed after a dose of the good old acid or weed.
You see things in a different perspective, some people become very good at math, arts, or philosophy and so on.
I betcha that some of the best art work around these days and trough history are made under influence..of narcotics.
from experience i would say that drugs is a control game , you decide how far into your trip you want to go and when to stop and resurface reality. Some people are too clinged to the daily life and what they are use to see and feel, some people can go beyond that and explore that what they are looking for.0 -

What exactly was this "additive"? I'm assuming you took hash tea? Your buzz sounds like it anyway...
Lump, sounds like you did a bucket bomb, and it sounds like you did it wrong, as you should have been whacked. 0 -

I don't smoke often, but I rarely say no when I'm offered, much like beer
i do get verry tired/lazy when I smoke hash alright, but if you smoke enough of it, and not just have a few tokes.. the high can be alot better/different than grass/skunk, so *shrug* I like it..
and yeah, it's a nice social drug, handy way of starting up a conv. at a party0 -

Ah feckin drink. I was completely bolloxed when I wrote that last night. I stated I probably shouldn't say what happened. But TBH, I'm glad I did.
And just to clear the maths up (now that I'm sober), it was a half we had between the 4 of us (so that would be an 1/8th each).
Dr. Loon it probably was hash tea, but I'm not well up on these things. I was just stupid enough to turn in to a lab rat that night to see what kind of effect such a dose would have on me, I'll never do it again. It's been 6th months since that eventful night.
It was one of the other lads that prepaired the drinks for all of us, and it smelled like a pub toilet that hadn't been cleaned in a while. I remember all of us holding our noses while drinking it. The drink was clear, coz it was mainly water, and it was cold (so I am guessing it wasn't tea, but then again what do I know). The secret additive was not another form of drug. It was something that was bought in a health shop (a powder). The end result was like lumpy water. All the gear sank to the bottom, and I remember on my last gulp I nearly choked coz I think I swallowed the 1/8 whole.
Anyway after 1.5 hours I was in deep thought mode. Actually the only thing that I found hallarious about the night was that we drew straws to ring a chinese take away, and I ended up having to make the call. Anyway I got the number, rang it, and some guy answered. I asked him could they do a delivery, and he said that they had closed. I said OK, thanks, and hung up. Now that wasn't the problem, the problem was that a few days later I checked my call log, and that call lasted 4.5mins. If I was not under the influence of anything, that would have lasted maybe 10-20 seconds (tops). So thinking about it, I was probably sitting there very silent, in between questions, while the guy on the other end of the phone repeatedly asked me was I still there. :rolleyes:
Anyway, I've learned and moved on.

yes beat I won't say no to a spliff if offered after a nights drinking or simply between a few friends having a quiet night in watching a flick/whatnot
Food for thought..
An Uncle of mine was a fierce alcoholic for years on end. He nearly lost his business, (a restaurant) he lost his wife and he also nearly pushed his family away from him completely as he was violent, uncontrollable and abusive. His money was drifting into holes that didn't seem to exist.
He was offered a spliff by one of his friends and after he'd smoked it he thought to himself for a bit quietly. He gave up the drink and took to the smoke (yep, just like that).
He is now in control of his life again, he is friendly, he has his love life back, he has plenty of money from his business. He has built himself a new house and it's looks like he's set up for a nice retirement. He gets on well with his sons and daughters and runs a campsite during the summer months. Life is good.
Different Strokes for different folks, everyone's situation is unique.0 -

In fairness this thread started out innocently with a "do you, or, don't you" type discussion. But I'm not going to expose the ingredients of a coctail that nearly drove me to depression on a 2 day bender.
Anyway I really don't recommend it. If you smoke, you smoke. But let's not try and take it any further than that.

I used to smoke Mossy loads of the stuff, everyday everynight, weed, hash, that hash liquid stuff (forget what it was called)
Im pretty sure we pioneered the Bucket and 3litre country spring water bottle bucket bomb:D used to mae t and stuff with the water in it, we were crazy:D
i gave it up a few years back after having a bit of a freakout after doing a buckbomb in a mates gaff, i lost the plot and ran down moby road waving my arms in front of my because they were leaving impressions in the air, i thought i was bruce lee at one stage.
i made it him and had a drink as my mouth was extremely dry and the glass had an chip gone out of it, it was ages old and not sharp but when it touched my lip i thought i had cut it, i could taste blood and feel it running down my face. i was told afterwards that i had done a bucketbomb with ZeroZero, now i dont know if that is true as ive always belived that 00 doesnt exist.
For those of you who dont know what 00 is its hash with LSD, Coke, E, and what ever mister dealer has left on his table after doing up the portions.
Im still not sure what happened as it never happened before that night but i make sure it doesnt happen again, 0 -

And if you read a little further down, you would have seen that when I returned to a sober state, the maths proposed less of a problem.Originally posted by phobos

I really don't like the ****e we get in Ireland - I'd much prefer some proper skunk to mangy petrol-soaked hash.
Yeah I should have mentioned in my post that this is very much the case - you just don't get hash in England, and there's no way I'd have smoked that as an aid to sleeping because it does make me feel like someone's shat in my mouth when I wake up
Superconor:
I'm certainly going to have someone bouncing on my head for this, since it's not the commonly accepted propaganda, but here is what I know about the side-effects of marijuana use based on what we have scientifically or empirically proven...
Firstly, it is a depressant. That doesn't mean it makes you depressed, but it does mean that it supresses your nervous system and certain areas of brain activity - inhibitions, basically, similarly to alcohol. It has a definite effect on your brain, and if you're not happy with not being completely in control, don't do it. Conversely many writers etc - myself included - find that it's a superb cure for creative block simply because it DOES change your thought process.
Secondly, it is potentially psychologically addictive. A very small - but significant - number of cannabis users find themselves addicted to it, not physically but mentally. This isn't the fault of the drug, its the fault of the personality and needs to be cured by basic life changes and perhaps therapy or counselling sessions. Usually those who are psychologically addicted to cannabis are this way because they use it as an escape from having to face realities sober. That said, psychological cannabis addiction is less common and less dangerous than psychological alcohol addiction - more commonly known as alcoholism.
Thirdly, smoking cannabis will give you lung cancer - just the same as smoking tobacco will. You're not designed for inhaling smoke, your body doesn't fancy having hot burnt particles knocked around your alveoli, and eventually it will give you lung cancer and you will quite probably die. However, light cannabis use - a joint a couple of times a week or less - is less damaging to you than a day walking around a smoggy city like London, and probably less damaging than twenty seconds in downtown Los Angeles. Smoking kills because many people smoke several packs a day. If you're smoking as much as two or three joints a day, you need to seriously reconsider your intake.
Fourthly, cannabis is an anti-motivational drug. This is one of its psychological effects. Many long-term cannabis users - or more accurately, abusers, since these people are generally smoking FAR too much - find themselves very lethargic and simply lacking in "get up and go". However, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that this is due to THC - the active ingredient in cannabis - lingering in the brain, as some anti-cannabis campaigners have suggested. It is considered more likely that it is a purely psychological effect caused by the basic lifestyle of many cannabis abusers; if you spend several hours a day stoned, it IS going to affect the rest of your life.
Fifthly and finally, it's illegal. You can be arrested in Ireland for possession, and in England you can be cautioned for it. If you're not happy with that, don't do it. Personally I don't agree with those laws and I choose to break them, in the belief that I am not harming anyone by doing so and that I am prepared to take responsibility for my own actions. Bear that in mind.0 -
