How much do you smoke?

[BCLG100]

I thought it was ether he had in his car wells in Fear and Loathing?

EDIT: Which is an anaesthetic, that's totally hardcore.

It was from what i remember but the amount of drugs they do in that film makes it incredibly hard to keep up with just what they've had!

Yeah, quite how it is not banned in the UK is beyond me especially as those regularly taking it don't actually know many of the rammifications. This, among other things- not least that i don't have the time, put me off- i like to remember a night out and you simply don't. However, it's cheap and it's legal so currently it's the student drug of choice and it's fairly easy to pick out who is on it on a night out, just look for the folk that have eyes bulging like Maradona at the 94 World Cup.

Cool beans, interesting stuff.

My buddy who likes it says that the main problem is the price. Its so cheap and legal that you can basically have as much as you want - plus he says that while you're under the influence the more you take the more you want. Just interested because I'll have the opportunity to try it next weekend. I'm not into party drugs so I probably won't bother with the stuff, and I don't like having blank spots in my recollection of fun nights.

"We had two bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker full of cocaine ... a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls"

Plus his attorney gets him some adrenachrome, which according to the book is only obtainable from a living human's adrenaline gland.

I've been reading it the last couple of days.

Interesting that up to now the majority are non-smokers.

I'm surprised that so many people here smoke. ATM the poll shows about 1/3rd are smokers, which is a lot more than the 1/5 I would've expected. Different societies, different expectations, I guess.

I don't smoke any tobacco, except when smoking blunts (cannabis rolled up in a cigar leaf).

I currently smoke anywhere from 2-7 grams of pot per week, mostly out of a pipe, bong or a vaporizer.

There won't be any blank spots, but you won't want to do it too often (apart from the first few times). It's really not pleasant going flushed (and hot as heckers) while thinking you are gonna have a heart attack, whilst giggling uncontrollably

The better nights are generally not the ones where drugs are involved and generally the sooner peope realise that the better!

edit- @paradigm i had a major black spot when i did/did not do it. Though that might be because you are quite willing to get absolutely off your face whilst indulging.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Never have, never will. I find the habit incredibly disgusting and thus try to bludgeon my family members into quitting the habit... I rage at my grandfather for making my mom take up smoking again(she's selfish and refuses to quit; it pisses me off incredibly that she cares more for her disgusting habit than the plight of her children and even her own mother), and at my mom for making my aunt take up smoking again.

If I was a dictator, I'd make it illegal for people trying to quit to associate with those who still do, since apparently many succumb to temptation in the presence of nicotine. The good health of my family takes precedence over any stupid concept of personal choice and responsibility, sorry.

But yeah, never will. It's a disgusting habit that I wish would evaporate, given how it serves to shorten the time people get to spend with those they love.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I've derailed the thread, sorry

I'll start a new drucks thread.

 

[BCLG100]

Wouldn't worry about it, everyone else is going about their business around us!

Cheers for the objective opinions guys.

Also, thanks to Grange Hill for the educational entertainment.

i roll my own, about 10 a day.

i actually gave up ten years ago, BUT had one this new years eve, now have to give up again, they really are the most additive drug around,

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Indeed, tobacco is much more addictive than smack (in terms of people addicted, at least)

 

[Imrahil91]

Only a cigar once in a while.

According to the pamphlets that come with packs of cigarettes here, nicotine is more habit forming than heroin.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I heard that too.

You need to take heroin for a couple of weeks before you can't do without, although others have said different.

I've only taken methadone once, to ease a throaty cough (didn't work).

 

[hossam]

Tried one once at fourteen. Didn't see the appeal, haven't had one since.

you probably did it wrong. otherwise you would have gotten that nicotine buzz and seen the appeal. did you inhale the smoke?

 

[kosiosko 1]

According to the pamphlets that come with packs of cigarettes here, nicotine is more habit forming than heroin.

there's also pretty strong evidence that alcohol enhances nicotines pleasure, but a least here now smoking is banned in pubs

 

[bhsup]

You abort cigarettes VRWC?

Religiously.

 

[Berzerker]

I voted 1 pack a day, but that was when I smoked. I quit almost 1 year ago, even got some around still but they dont tempt me. Chantix helped me quit, but now I hear that stuff can mess you up worse than cigs. But it worked, took enough of the "edge" off me so I could get out of the habit. About 1 month on Chantix and that was it...

 

[Luckymoose]

I smoke a gram a night.
