I started packing two bowls of 20x, taking huuuuuge hits and holding in for 30 seconds or so. Got two hits each (me and a friend). Tried to pack a third but reality left me so I couldn't. If you're not worried about a bad trip or anything go hard, if you have any doubts start off slow.

This is very bad advice!

D... do you smoke drugs @_@





Really though how do you feel about the risks involved? What makes it worth it?

The only time I have taken a drug where I thought there was any significant risk at all was when I used Datura.

Drugs are extremely dangerous if you don't know what you are dealing with, but most responsible people study the pharmacology of a drug before they even think about using it. There are drugs like Ketamine, Methamphetamine, or Heroin that, for the most part, cannot be used responsibly.

Otherwise, the risk involved in drug use comes from your individual reaction to the substance. Some people, for example, cannot take DXM because there is a slightly common genetic enzyme disorder which prevents the body from efficiently breaking down the dextromethorphan. For this reason when you try DXM for the first time, you take a dose beforehand that is several times greater than the medical dose, but several times smaller than a threshold intoxication dose to sort of test the waters.

The point of that example is to show that you can easily eliminate most of the risks of drug use by being knowledgeable and responsible.

Why should I waste good money on a product that only provides instant satisfaction but absolutely no gain in my immediate future when I could do something more useful like investing in stock or something?

Overdosing on Pot: Near Impossible

ehhh....the first time I tried pot it was actually in the form of "special" brownies (since I'm against smoking, bad for your health), and I OD'd horribly, cause I ate like 8 pieces. it took over an hour to get high, but when I did, it lasted the rest of the night and the whole day afterward. pretty fucked up. don't do it this way unless you know your limit.

Which is impossible with pot.

yeah im pretty sure there has only been one person ever that possibly died from marijuana, and there were other factors in it too so. weed is safer then alcohol.

I think he means like OD'ing and dying (or experiencing severe health damage).

no, i pretty much OD'ed....I didn't die though.

A hit of acid is about $10 and you can get a 8oz bottle of cough syrup for $7 and a a half 1/8 of shrooms is about $15 around here. Comparatively a movie ticket is $8 without a drink or popcorn or anything. Drugs really aren't that much unless you are constantly doing them.

where do you get your shit? my friend told me LSD isn't around anymore (maybe not in the Tri-State area but idk). I'm pretty sure he's wrong about that, but still. He also said that the cough syrup stuff isn't worth it because all you do is just get nausous.

Oh yeah? Describe your experience.

Oh yeah? Describe your experience.

Well...since it was my first time, I was told that I probably wouldn't get a high. I ate a lot of it. There were three other people with me who also got high: the guy who baked the stuff, lets call him Spike, his girlfriend, lets call her Larry, and another kid, he'll be Ahmed. We were hanging out at Ahmed's house, the other three were all high. I went to the bathroom because I needed to piss and suddenly it felt like I was in the ocean, not really like an ocean, but just the current that goes up and down and the undertow and like that. Each time the "wave" came up I got really really dizzy. I came out and Spike said, "yo dude you don't look good. Its finally hitting right?" I said, "what? I'm not good?" He said no and so I sat down in a chair. All four of us were sitting then and I remember thinking how cool it was that I was seeing 3 different types of highs: Spike was pretty chill, he still functioned fine, his girlfriend was all panicked, I suppose she was bugging out, and Ahmed was just beat. He probably looked the same as I did when the high really came on for me.

Now for my experience:

Someone put Borat in the DVD player and when it was playing it sounded like the audio was in mono and coming from really far away, like if you would take headphones and hold them an inch or two from your ears. Whenever I closed my eyes I would see weird patterns, like different rug designs. And whenever I got thirsty, it would change to a picture of a desert. If I ignored it, because I didn't want to move to get some water, it would intensify to the point where i see myself like licking the sand. It was just unbearable. I'm pretty sure I started shivering, I just wanted to go to sleep.

I asked Spike weird questions like, "Hey man, how long does this last for?", "How often do you do this?", "Do I look like someone who gets high a lot?", and "I might do weird stuff because I've never been high before, just so you know."

I slept over and drove back to my house in the morning, where I threw up. I went back to sleep from 8-ish to sometime in the afternoon. I was still pretty high I think cause I felt the "waves" still and I was really nauseous. I took another nap until evening, but I was still pretty messed up.

...That's not ODing. That's just being high. Really fucking high, but not ODing.

...That's not ODing. That's just being high. Really fucking high, but not ODing.

well okay then

lots of people say this, and i guess it's more or less true if that's your particular value of life experiences.

i mean, i've done some fairly neat things in my life. things that meant a lot to me, even though they might not mean anything to others. not near as much as i want to experience, but i feel i'm generally on the right track. for me, these experiences have a cumulative effect on my conscious(and probably subconscious) mind. they put thoughts in my head, and widen my perception of the world. this is of particular use to me considering i am a writer. sometimes what might be a tiny experience that meant nothing to others ended up inspiring something really great in me. this is, of course, something of a stretch. every hour of every day of my life is not interesting and meaningful. saying that i could have put that time to better tangible use is obviously true. i've written stories that i've abandoned, done things that i forgot about/didn't care about, interacted people i would discard/would discard me. but i have a tough time regretting these experiences. they're responsible for shaping the person i am today, and i value those interesting moments and experiences greatly.

i'm not even talking about drugs here. apart from inconsequentially smoking weed a few times, i haven't done drugs for two years. but i will classify drugs in the same category. they're kinda like taking a vacation, you know? with the right stuff, you are GOING SOMEWHERE and SEEING SOMETHING NEW. maybe that means nothing to you, i don't know.

so yeah, drugs have no practical use or application. you aren't going to make money off doing drugs, you aren't going to get jobs off of doing drugs. you're going to experience something interesting and different, and that's absolutely it. like i said, that depends on how much you value life experiences. if BUILDING UP YOUR LIFE is defined merely by such tangible terms as MONEY and JOB, then drugs are of no use to you. but remember that not everyone defines life the same way.

He also said that the cough syrup stuff isn't worth it because all you do is just get nausous.

seriously, only pussies say this. or people with really weak stomachs. part of the nausea will come from the taste of cough medicine, which can be masked by holding your nose as you swallow the syrup and then washing your mouth out with mouthwash afterwards. and that's only if you REALLY REALLY are repulsed by the taste of cough syrup. i find it more difficult to quickly down an entire alcoholic beverage than i do to down an entire bottle of cough syrup.

that, or the person in question does not know how to read the cough medicine box and does not realize that you SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT bother drinking a bottle of cough medicine that has guafenisin or any other active ingredients besides dxm in it. most of the active ingredients will either ruin the experience, make you sick, and could possibly kill you if taken in large quantities. i've never heard of bad things happening from people taking cough medicine with dxm as the only active ingredient(apart from people who are too immature to be taking drugs, but that's a different story)

Why should I waste good money on a product that only provides instant satisfaction but absolutely no gain in my immediate future when I could do something more useful like investing in stock or something? 

note: this is a serious question.

i'm sorry i see your point but the point of money isn't only to get more money!
i am with you in that i don't spend money on drugs or experiences because i forget them fairly easily (though i still can't forget.... that...)

this brings me to question: some of the psychoactive drugs, are they closer to being a dream and detached or do they feel as real as other experiences, looking back?
