Smoking Banana Peels

[Mr. Dictator]

So i've heard that smoking banana peels will get you high, and that sounds awesome!












yes, i know it's a hoax but trust me, this is going somewhere!

let's say that we find out that banana peels or something very common can get you high. what would the government's most logical reaction be? assume that it is native to your region and can be found quite easily.

assume there are two branches to this hypothetical also:

A.)there are no noticeable health effects

B.)it's basically cancer roulette

Well, doesn't huffing paint get you high? What are they gonna do? Say 'no more paint'?

 

[TheLastOne36]

Doesn't sniffing glue also make you high?

 

[Mr. Dictator]

they're mild highs. i'm talking pot and shrooms levels of effed up.

...Inhalants are not mild highs. In fact, they're REALLY dangerous. The only sense in which they're more mild then stuff like pot and shrooms is that they last much less time, but you can re-up easily so that doesn't really matter.

If it can give you cancer, how can there be no noticeable health effects?

well i was talking about overall intensity in effects between the things named. huffing paint and glue doesnt really affect you as much as the bigger things, or so i've heard. now, we can talk whippets and i'd agree with you.

did you miss the part where i said there is a branch in the hypothetical? meaning what should the government do if A was true and what would they do if B was true.

 

[Kennigit]

How do things compare in terms of highness, like sniffing paints vs abusing medications? I think it is relevant to the discussion.

Well yeah, that's the point... there's lots of legal things that can get you REALLY high if used improperly. Whippets, DXM, etc. etc... And even paint and the like is pretty serious. I knew a guy in junior high who huffed a bunch of paint and then ended up jumping off a balcony and killing himself! Who knows how much of that was the paint vs. general depression and such, but still.

Well, you can't ban everything because it's remotely dangerous; I could kill you with a loaf of bread if I tried hard enough.

Smokin' Banana Peels sounds like THIS!

 

[Mr. Dictator]

Drink 3 bottles of dry-cough cough syrup and get back to me in 18-24 hours.

well i was thinking of naturally occuring things.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Sniffing glue is terrible and will quickly destroy your brain. Woe to anyone so inclined.

 

[Civfan333]

wow, I guess the government better ban everything, cuz you can kill someone with a PENCIL!

OMG, WE'RE WRITING WITH THINGS THAT CAN KILL YOU

Banning is not the solution unless you can ban idiocy.

 

[Civfan333]

what else can you do? oh wait..........do what they're doing right now...........NOT CARING

Hook yourself up with some JENKEM.

 

[Furiey]

A friend of mine tried this when we were at Uni. After repeatedly throwing up he managed to say that any possible high he got was complely lost under how sick he felt. He decided it just wasn't worth it.

And don't forgot a hit of camel toads while you're at it.
