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

When people get like that = :(

Nate 09-01-2009 04:37 AM

Thanks, it was actually a rhetorical question.

Sekto Springs 09-01-2009 11:55 AM

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".

Dixanadu 09-02-2009 09:39 AM

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.

OANST 09-02-2009 09:45 AM

Well, dead catholics are pretty cool.

Wings of Fire 09-02-2009 10:09 AM

Dead Protestants are cooler.

Bullet Magnet 09-02-2009 10:12 AM

Eh, I prefer chicken.

Dead protestants taste like chicken!

Wings of Fire 09-02-2009 10:22 AM

Dead Catholics taste like bad bread, apparently.

Bullet Magnet 09-02-2009 10:23 AM

Weed. I distinctly remember a conversation about weed.

Wings of Fire 09-02-2009 10:23 AM

Dead Eastern Orthodox Christains taste of weed?

OANST 09-02-2009 10:24 AM

Dead catholics taste like charred evil.

Just make sure you bake them in brownies.

Some people say alcohol is a drug. They're wrong. It's a drink.

Beer is a drink. Alcohol is a drug.

OANST 09-02-2009 11:46 AM

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ridg3 09-02-2009 02:46 PM

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.

Only if they're being fed to lions.



Ontopic: I have smoked pot once or twice. It didn't do anything for me. I think I tripped out more over the fact that it was supplied by (and smoked together with) my mate's mum.

Mac Sirloin 09-04-2009 10:06 AM

My Co-op teacher showed a video on why hard drugs are bad Yesterday. You know what's gross? Seeing the resulting wound from a meth addict who scratches bugs out of her arms. Goddamn Vancouver sounds so unappealing.

T-nex 09-04-2009 10:29 AM

I got high on Meth in when I was with my bf in USA.... I had terrible ear pain and somehow my bf thought meth would help(he has it for migraines)... My face started itching, i started feeling panicky and I started crying all of a sudden followed by an uncontrollable laughing fit. I wouldn't wanna be addicted to meth if that's the results :/

And btw the ear pain stayed the same.

OANST 09-04-2009 10:31 AM

Chris takes meth for.....headaches?

Wings of Fire 09-04-2009 10:32 AM

I want his doctor.
Not really

Um... I wouldn't call them headaches... More like migraines, and It's not something easy to deal with... They are mostly for his mom though, who deals with worse headaches.
I took them on the way home from Virginia beach after getting ... some sort of ear infection I think.

The ear drops worked better.

(oh and his mom is a nurse).

EDIT: Im not talking about pure drugs guys >_< It's methadone....

OANST 09-04-2009 11:01 AM

Good lord. Meth is not the abbreviation of Methadone. When talking about Meth, you are referring to Methamphetamine, which is a completely different drug altogether.

Sekto Springs 09-04-2009 11:13 AM

I call it meth to screw with people.

Nate 09-04-2009 08:58 PM

In any case, it's meant to be LSD that's used to cure migraines, not methadone or crystal meth.
And, yes, I learnt that from House.

Go watch Brasseye. Become a better person. Oh, also pick up a sense of humour.

I knew this because I'd heard that whatisname took LSD for a migraine when he discovered DNA. I'm fairly confident it's correct that he was on lSD, whether it was for a migraine i'm less certain.

Has anyone besides me ever experienced this? It's hard to explain if you have not. I used to smoke happily and free of troubles, Then one day I sparked a blunt with my mates and the increased heart beat started to trouble me, my legs felt very funny and I was all shaking. I felt so in the moment that it was disturbing focusing to much on others body language and motives then actually contributing to conversations. Which you guessed it can lead to people talking crap about, right in front of my face. And I would either get really angry or hurt. Well I had to stop because it was so frightening of an experience losing control like that. I thought I was the only one but i found some others that shared the experience. It supposedly happens if your mood isn't right going into the high.. smoking to much and being uncomfortable at the level your on, or the people your around you don't know to well and aren't trust worthy. I have quit smoking both cigarettes and marijuana in an effort to live a long and healthy life. And also so I can hopefully make varsity in basketball this year in school. I would like to light up some reefer when school's over with but I want it to be the way it used to be.

So please share your story's or experiences.

I'm ascurred that someday the same thing will happen to me. After four years of smoking, two of them intensive (professional pothead ftw), I've never had any major anxiety issue. I've had the same thing happen to two of my close friends though, neither of whom enjoy toking it up anymore, which kind of sucks. I've met a few others throughout my days who say the same thing. I wish I could understand how it feels for them, but courtesy of the fact psychoactives affect everyone differently (nobody thinks and processes information exactly the same, after all) I won't know it until I feel it. I just wish they could still have the same enjoyable sensation from the blessed plant as I do.

Though frustrating, it's not as aggravating to me as the polarization people seem to have with mushrooms, though. In my experience, there's the people who love em' and have consistently enjoyable, insightful and revelatory trips, like me (I've noticed most every drug user has a substance that they form a particularly intimate relationship with, mine is psilocybin). Then there's the people who like the fucked up sensation but have a shallow appreciation, and will therefore have a good time but not take much out of it. And then there's the people who can't help but go insane inside their own head and freak out, for reasons that I can only guess to be personal insecurities or closet depression. The members of the latter group think the people like me are crazy, and vice versa.

Bullet Magnet 09-07-2009 06:54 AM

Then there are the people who are completely dewired after a single trip, and never again leave that bad place.

MA 09-08-2009 01:38 PM

spot on there BM.

also anxiety is fucking shit. if you have had it extremely bad, you don't want to chance getting it again, so i can see where your friends are coming from Majic.

AnGrY_GreeteR 09-12-2009 10:56 AM

Point well made Majic
 
Yeah the bad experience is just part of it for some people. And i wouldn't wish it on anyone else after going through the valley of death a couple of times. But like you guys said the thought process un-wiring involved is not pleasant and luckily I have always woke up the same person. My relationship with weed is gone for now, It's not much fun when your constantly around your parents or authority figures so until I get my own place I might fool around with Mary Jane a few more times too see what happens. I dont understand the kids that will wake up and smoke before school and stuff like that. I have tryed going out in lunch and smoking up and going to class it was THE worst experience I had and I moved schools afterwards and got my shit together. Education is everything..

Sekto Springs 09-12-2009 11:08 AM

I put some ecstasy in my butthole. I didn't feel paranoia but I felt something...

Pilot 09-12-2009 02:44 PM

No you didn't Chris.

Plus, I can't remember if I already said this but as for the weed paranoia, this happens every time I've even been stoned out of my mind so I don't do that anymore... all it takes it a tiny hit though to mellow things out.

And for the record; those of you who like shrooms and live in the US, try Salvia. It's legal and can be ordered over the internet... and according to a comment Leto made a while back "Salvia is like Shrooms for pussies" you might want to try it. It comes in all different strengths.

Hobo 09-12-2009 03:03 PM

Salvia fucks people up. I know one person who thought he was a steam train for a few hours.

Leto 09-12-2009 03:10 PM

wah wah waaaaaaaaaaaah

salvia fucks you up

for 15 minutes

i'd go as far to say it's one of the least harmful common drugs

sure, you think you're a train/wall/the sky/the floor/a blade of grass

but it's effects are so very short

is it legal in the uk?

Hobo 09-12-2009 03:13 PM

It wasn't when I heard that story, but it might have slipped past me since.

Also; funny you mention that his best friend thought he was a wall.
