I find the paranoia correlation interesting, seeing as i know several people who have infrequently smoked it but are naturally paranoid, and I also know some people who heavily smoke it but never show any such traits. 1 guy I know practically smokes it daily, but he is never paranoid or tense at all-quite the opposite in fact.

Having never smoked it myself (due to legal reasons rather than health reasons) I can't comment on what it does to me. All I'll say is- if it's banned on health ground when cigarettes and alcohol have much more evidenced and much more severe health implications, I find it rather silly. Plus as prohibition demonstrated- banning a substance can sometimes make it more widespread.

There's someone in our midst that's beaten Smack. I wont say who, but if he/she would like to step forward on his/her own to tell of the experience...

I think I've mentioned it before. When I was very young, and very stupid, I was a heroin user. It was an extreme low point in my life, but I got over it. Not much more to say.

That's me. Smoking it doesn't usually make it worse (There is some occasions). I never smoked heavily, but not smoking it at all didn't change anything or make me feel worse or better than I did.

Interesting note on drugs; Someone spiked the drinks handed out at school today, unbeknown to me. I found out from a friend that such insidious plot had taken place and refrained from drinking... unfortunately at this point I had already had a full cup. I was seeing things in bright colors and double vision - worst day ever.

Although I did get to see some neat animals brought in by nature preservationist. A leopard, a lemur, an armadillo, and an alligator to name a few.

Spiked with what?

Also, you've told that story in a very matter-of-a-fact way. Surely there were police involved and hospitals and investigations and panic and other dramatically interesting stuff?

Dunno what it was spiked with... some kind of narcotic hallucinogen I think.

And no, not really. Nothing happened after that. I came home, threw up, and went to bed. Life's funny sometimes.

How does someone spike drinks at school? I mean, does your school's cafeteria has like regular glasses with drinks in it that you can pick up or something? I was under the impression most school only serve cans or bottles for this very reason.

Surely there's some sort of investigation going on?

HAY LOOK I DO DRUGS AM COOL.

pretty much if you 'scream at lamposts' or 'rape children in bushes' on marijuana, you are a fucking retard and probably 12 years old.

From here.

Also, I spent a few minutes today riding my bike behind a car that was emanating a strong smell of pot. What sort of dumbarse smokes while he drives?

A dumbarse who has formed an emotional dependence on the gange, and can't do everyday tasks without toking.

When people get like that = :(

Thanks, it was actually a rhetorical question.

There's no "cafeteria". The classes are held in what is essentially a gutted, old Celtic church. The student body is made up of like fifty people max, and we all have a pretty close relationship. Not at all like the government issued detention facilities most Americans call schools these days.

The punch was served as part of a celebratory "welcome back" ceremony. It was spiked by one of the "bad kids".

There's a paramilitary group in Northern Ireland called RAAD (Republic Action Against Drugs) that use aggressive methods to get both drugs and dealers off the streets, and they're actually doing a pretty good job, despite the fact they're still comitting murder and the police force would rather see a dead Catholic than an exhausted heroin needle.

Well, dead catholics are pretty cool.

Dead Protestants are cooler.

Eh, I prefer chicken.

Dead protestants taste like chicken!

Dead Catholics taste like bad bread, apparently.

Weed. I distinctly remember a conversation about weed.

Dead Eastern Orthodox Christains taste of weed?

Dead catholics taste like charred evil.

Just make sure you bake them in brownies.

Beer is a drink. Alcohol is a drug.

Yeah, I think it was a joke.

I haaaaaate that shit.
School (Grade 12 fo sho') started Yesterday, and since I'm still doing co-op (getting into the trades yadda yadda) I get this group of...hopeless fuckers.
I'm in a class of eight, which is actually kind of big for co-op, and all of them smoke during breaks. All of them. They just stand outside smoking cigarettes for the fifteen minutes, don't work for an hour and a half, smoke, don't work, smoke, don't work and smoke.
This leaves me the odd one out, since I'm sick and don't need anything to worsen it. I used to be friends with one of them, but now he's just a fucking skeleton who basically lies about absolutely everything he says and smells like shit. It's hard to describe just how much I dislike all of them. One of them has Six Credits. Six fucking credits, and he's in grade 12.

Oddly enough, I'm probably the youngest one there and I have more than all of them (apart from these two guys, but they're in Grade 13 so it doesn't count).

They talk about having to drink when they wake up, having three beers before school, or smoke pot during lunch. I wouldn't share a joint with any of them. They're just depressingly stupid.
I think I was kind of like that early on, but I quickly grew out of it. I toke so infrequently that I'm almost always a tripshow and have to lie down.

I was hanging out with My sister and these two friends up at a Cottage on friday, and after I basically got wasted I just chilled in a big comfy chair and laughed at the goings-on in my head.

My sister wouldn't leave me alone.

She just kept going like "SIMON ARE YOU OKAY SIMON DO YOU WANT TO LIE DOWN SIMON DO YOU WANT SOME COFFEE SIMON DO YOU WANT SOME WATER SIMON SIMON SIMON."
I tried to be polite, telling her I was fine and that I just needed to be alone somewhere quiet, but she kept badgering me to the point where I told her to just fuck off.

Here are some recordings I made when they left me at the cottage on a rowboat.

I know.

People like this need kicked down the stairs. Their pathetic attempts at being 'cool' with their binging just makes them unhygeinic and not pleasant to look at.

Most of them look fucking terrible. I remember a few from Grade 9, and they just look like meth addicts.

My friend (and Dixanadu can confirm this) and his not my mates got into a car whilst loaded with cocaine and sped down the road where he met his untimely death because he was only 18. Thats partially the reason that my stance on Class A drugs is very negatory.
