I'll have you know my may-may is hilarious.

Nepsotic 02-04-2016 12:09 PM

That's some sick maymays

what was that abe meme thing called? i was gonna link the thread but i can't remember.

i remember we had fun with that.

Varrok 02-04-2016 12:40 PM

The funny fact is it has no name. It's simply "An Abe Meme"

on the topic of drugs, i'm stoned!

I broke in my new bong last night, it's a cheap piece of plastic and the water seal isn't even water-tight so I get a little leakage...but holy shit. It's incredibly tall and the shotgun is small and surrounded by rubber so that even after you're done, the smoke remains in the chimney. I manage to get a lung-full of smoke out of it about 10 minutes after I lit up.

I'm definitely not big on smoking/ getting high, and I can't stand weed-culture, but with that being said I feel relaxed and calm this morning and my missus--who has clinical anxiety and depression--also reports feeling much more chill. :)

i enjoy getting high more than getting drunk, although that's a different kind of buzz. it's cheaper for me too. if i can spare the cash, i can make £20 worth of decent weed last over four days. if i go down the pub to see old mates it costs me £30-£40 for one night (that's why i almost never go down the pub anymore). drinking cans of cider at home would cost me £8 for one night (still more expensive). you can see why i choose green, although i admit i might have a slight dependence on drugs. it's a release, for me.

i can't really do bong hits though. do you ever smoke spliffs or is it purely the bong? i prefer spliffs.

Job McYossie 02-04-2016 01:01 PM

It did have a name though. "A fanart" It was hilarious. Best time I'd ever had on this forum, really.

Varrok 02-04-2016 01:28 PM

He should make more fan arts

Nepsotic 02-04-2016 04:06 PM

I haven't smoked from a bong except maybe once with my brother backstage with the members of Black Dahlia Murder (I'm a cool cat) they'd made like a pipe out of a hollowed out apple. Prefer spliffs all in all though.

My preference is a bong because--as a surveyor--I'm a stingy fuck looking to maximise the efficiency of smoking weed. Anecdotally I find that you can inhale more smoke with a bong, especially if it has a long neck because you avoid any leakage you'd get with a blunt. That being said when I'm with friends I never use a water pipe.

Man where the fuck is Mr. Bungle, we need him to weigh in.

Nate 02-05-2016 08:58 PM

I've never used a bong. I've tried joints and a pipe, and didn't like them because they're too harsh on my throat. I now have a PAX2 and it's super nice and easy to use.

Nepsotic 02-05-2016 09:32 PM

Do you do it like... Properly? As in, pull it into your mouth before you inhale? Probably a stupid question but lot of people I know who say it burns their throat actually turned out to just be straight-up inhaling it.

STM 02-06-2016 03:11 AM

Weak, bypass the mouth, get it in yer. The water stops it cutting you're throat to ribbons better than any blunt. Either put more water in, or you just have schwag.

by the way, did you enjoy the weed using that PAX2 thing?

OANST 02-06-2016 05:02 AM

I smoke out of a bowl because I am incredibly poor, and pot lasts a lot longer this way. I only have to buy an eighth every two to three months, smoking every night after the kids are in bed. Once I run out, we start scraping the bowl for resin, and that can last a week or so.

Holy Sock 02-06-2016 05:35 AM

Sometimes I take paracetamol when I don't even have a headache or anything.

OANST 02-06-2016 06:18 AM

Living on the edge, man.

Crashpunk 02-06-2016 07:57 AM

Pfft. Paracetamol is for pussies.

I use Ibuprofen.

Alf Shall Rise 02-06-2016 09:44 AM

I was cleaning my house once using a bunch of cleaning supplies such as different sprays, and accidentally took a huge-ass whiff and breathed a ton of it in. Had a pretty bad headache for the rest of the night.

Yup.

Mudokon_Master 02-07-2016 05:50 PM

I first smoked weed during my last year of highschool. A friend gave me a small baggie (I have no idea how much was in there) but I smoked it all in the bathroom before hopping in the shower (I didn't want my brother to smell it, even though now I realise it was probably obvious).

Half way through my shower I remember starting to cough my lungs out. But the more I coughed, the less I could feel my throat. At this point I started freaking out thinking I was dying before I realised I was high. I started giggling uncontrollably and raced out of the shower and spent the rest of the night walking around the house trying to do every day things but forgetting half way through what I was doing. It was not a very productive night, but heaps of fun.

I smoke cigarettes often and smoke weed whenever I can spare the money (which is almost never).

Shrykull43 02-15-2016 12:49 PM

mushrooms are a lovely fucking trip...

MA 02-15-2016 01:20 PM

what was your trip like? did you see or experience anything groovy?

i'm too much of a pussy to try shrooms, LSD or anything hallucinogenic. plus i don't think it would be very good for my mental health, personally. which is a shame because although i find the thought of experiencing things that aren't there pretty scary, i also think it's fascinating and would be tempted to try it out if the opportunity arose. but i won't. i'm a pussy.

i won't say who, but a relative of mine tripped on acid a few times. he enjoyed it. one time he and a bunch of his mates took some tabs and wandered about the countryside. they were walking through an empty field and he watched as all of his mates, one after the other, stepped over an invisible fence. there was nothing there. he couldn't stop laughing. then they went into a strawberry field and started eating strawberries. at that point he looked up and noticed the sky had turned into strawberry skin.

on the other hand someone else i know who tripped on acid spent their time running around the countryside convinced they were being chased by wolves.

My first trip i was mostly drunk and don't remember but my second...oh boy. It was an experience to say the least a very close friend and I decided we would take our shrooms and go into the woods. Within an hour we were reduced to heaps of giggles and tears both lying down in a knoll and looking up at the sky. Then out of no where I began to see shapes in the sky and nearly simultaneously lost the ability to discern reality. I had heard the term "hallucination" before and thought it was seeing purple elephants and whatnot. But no from that point on I realized that a "hallucination" is simply lacking the ability to quantify reality. This lead to a number of profound thoughts and ideas about how the world works and how we as humans interact. At the time it was beneficial for my mental state as thoughts like these drew me out of my depression. 5 hours later I walked out of that forest refreshed, anew, almost like a baby coming into the world again.

But to answer your question yes, I had many "groovy" visuals. In particular were patterns of interlocking and flowing color around my vision constantly. Also wood grain, roots, and sometimes grass and the ground would appear to flow as a fluid. Although i would make a strong note that visuals are a small part of the trip. It is mainly consistent of altered thought patterns. Which can be beneficial or cause you to have a bad trip depending on whether you can maintain your thoughts throughout. I also learned recently that mushrooms can bring forth latent or dormant mental disorders which i found intriguing.

STM 02-16-2016 07:14 AM

I don't even know where the fuck I'd get acid. I'd be interested if I actually knew what I was getting, I bet all the LSD/ shrimps here are cut.

This is not always the case, so I'm not saying anything for sure, but people tend to exaggerate their LSD stories. I'd say a good half of the stories that I've been told about drug experiences are utter bullshit. It is possible, however, that they were being honest. Just putting that out there.

Alf Shall Rise 02-16-2016 10:56 AM

I have a friend who said that he smoked so much weed once that he wasn't able to walk and had to crawl over to his bed and climb into it. I don't know if this is a common experience, or if he just smoked way too much weed, or if he's just exaggerating.

Job McYossie 02-16-2016 10:57 AM

idk how someone could possibly smoke so much weed they can't walk

STM 02-16-2016 11:50 AM

To be honest I find if I smoke a lotta dro my motor-skills go to shit, however I think I just start to feel nauseous before I'd ever come close to losing the ability to walk.

Nepsotic 02-16-2016 12:04 PM

Once I was high on the bus and I got really worried that I wouldn't be able to get up and walk. I don't know why. I walked fine, though.

oh yeah, absolutely. i take everything i hear with a pinch of salt.

like the old saying goes: believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.

maybe it just doesn't suit him, or maybe he's exaggerating. personally i've never known that to be a common experience. i've heard people say "man, i can't get up" when they're stoned and sitting down, but that's just because they're relaxed. it doesn't literally stop you walking properly. alcohol stops you walking properly.

also, a tip to weed smokers: if you're absolutely stoned and decide to roll another joint, don't bother. save your weed and just enjoy the high. the reason is because once you're absolutely stoned you won't get any more stoned than you already are, so smoking more while at that stage is kind of a waste. it might make the effects last longer, but you won't actually get any higher. it's like you hit a limit. this is something i learned from a few long-time tokers, so i don't know if it's actually true, but i can say from experience that when i've hit the weed big time i've never been more stoned than the last time i was absolutely stoned.

i can't explain it very well. let me put it another way: if you could measure how stoned you were from 1 to 10, 1 being slightly high and 10 being absolutely wrecked, you will only ever reach a maximum of 10. there is no 11 or more. you cannot get any higher once you're at that stage, if you smoke more you will just prolong the effects but not actually increase the high.

at least that's just what i've heard.

The people I've smoked with have been notorious for rolling joint after joint after joint, like you won't have even finished one and the next has been lined up, and this will go on all night, regardless if everyone's stoned as humanly possible. I think part of it's the experience of smoking rather than getting any more high, but that's still stupid and a pointless waste of time, money and resources. Still brings a smile to my face when everyone's absolutely fucked and I see someone eyeing up the grinder or whatever, though, and then there's this knowing grin that just spreads across the room like a Mexican wave until someone's rolling again, as if they need to!

Job McYossie 02-16-2016 05:26 PM

idk what you're talking about if I smoke more while I'm already under the influence the effects get stronger, one time I mistook my limits while out with friends and had to call my mom to pick me up.

Mr. Bungle 02-16-2016 05:28 PM

I've been smoking too much weed lately. It's great.

Shrykull43 02-16-2016 06:30 PM

Judging by the sound of it, I think he might have been exaggerating a bit, but I wasn't completely sure since I've never smoked weed before. So I'd be lying if I said I actually knew when it felt like to be high, but going by what I've been told, I'm wondering if he was just under the impression that he couldn't walk because of how relaxed he was. I dunno.

hah yeah i've been in that position, it's fun. weed is a very communal thing. if i have any i'll always share it out, it's better than smoking on your own.

it's just what i've heard. i'm tempted to believe it because, like i said, after years of smoking i've never reached a point where i'm 'more stoned than i've ever been'. i'm wrecked, yeah, but not any more than the last time i was wrecked. i've sat with a group and smoked spliff after spliff and just maintained that super-high, not actually got any higher. but maybe that's just me.

i've just had a look at a few sites where the same question has been asked (is there a limit?) and people tend to have conflicting views so maybe it's bullshit or just down to individuality.

that's what i reckon, but the tolerance of people varies so it's entirely possible that he reacts that way to too much weed. i don't know. people are different.

Nepsotic 02-17-2016 12:03 PM

The only time I've ever had "the highest I've ever been" is when my brother got this really strong weed. Shared the joint with him and was completely fucked for the rest of the night.
