      [continued from previous message]              >anything illegal, i like to smoke it but i still respect the law enough       >not to walk down the street openly smoking it, or rubbing it in the faces       >of the local constabulary either, imho all that would be just taking the       >piss and am not like that, nor am i one to abuse my privileges either...       >       >e.g., and this is a true story that has always stuck with me from 30 years       >ago, someone i know was sitting on the grass in a large open public area       >larger than a park, it was a lovely sunny summer's day and he had a book       >and a sandwich and a very small amount of hash to smoke, no one's even       >sitting nearby... he drinks his tea, eats his sandwich and rolls a small       >joint and is sitting there quietly enjoying himself and the weather,       >absorbed in his book... meanwhile, 2 policemen are creeping up on him from       >behind and he doesn't even notice them until one of them leans down and       >says to him: is that cannabis you're smoking??       >       >you can imagine my friend's reaction, he looks around and looks up at       >these 2 coppers and because of his surprise he says, oh c'mon, i'm not       >bothering anyone here, am i? i'm just enjoying the weather and having a       >little smoke, i'm not troubling anyone, what is this??       >       >one of the cops goes-through his stash-tin, finds his little pea-sized bit       >of hash and says to him, so is that all you've got?? and then almost in a       >whisper: so don't you think it would be better if you smoked that at       >'home' mate??       >       >whereon my friend caught their drift and immediately complied, packed up       >his items in a rush(including his little bit of hash) got in his car and       >fucked-off grateful for the break, and they didn't nick him or confiscate       >his gear or anything, except to give him that directive?       >       >and this story stuck with me see because it's right, my friend wasn't       >doing any harm but that's not really the point, it's not legal to do that       >openly here yet and to do so is to be taking the piss, the clear       >implication being that they're not gonna bother you quietly doing that in       >your own home or for such a small amount, they obviously realised exactly       >what he was doing and why, and that he wasn't really doing any harm...       >just don't take the piss mate, alright?       >       >so no, i wont be posting any pics (yet) thang, not from the uk where they       >still feel somewhat uneasy about these things, if/when they change the law       >then everyone will be doing it but until then i'm not here to wind them up       >or take the piss, i have no axe to grind or any feelings of resentment       >even though they did pinch me a few times for almost nada, am an outsider       >thang, not an outlaw ;)       >       >on another note hehe... my new prescription has just arrived today a whole       >week early lol, 3 new types and a repeat order of the candy store, 40g in       >all... the hindu kush (pure indica) am currently smoking is very good so       >far, smile...              Bullshit. Or post a pic. But I say, bullshit :)                     >       >the sun has suddenly started shining through my window and everything's       >all glowy and calm :)       >       >as for the tubs they come in there's 2 sizes, a taller one and a short       >one, and are exactly the same as the one shown in that review video i       >posted before, plastic and vacuum packed, strongly sealed prolly along       >with a squirt of nitrogen or carbon dioxide for shelf-life/preservation so       >it can take a while to begin reacting with the air again, but it's defo       >doin' summat! :D              Nope, here 15g is 15g, same size tub, sealed with aluminium foil,       small buds dried and grown in Canada. I don't look at reviews just       grateful for the tubs delivered to my door. I have a card and a       script carry both in my wallet.              >       >online reviews for this strain mention it can be trippy? i hope so coz i       >rather like that effect, some people can get a bit paranoid/anxious       >if/when it gets too trippy but i actually like all that, it's nice to be       >looking around at an altered world feeling like some kinda alien       >anthropologist visitor heh, and not many weeds can do that... thai       >grass/sticks being the only one consistently doing it, at least for moi, i       >mean yeah it was freaky the first few times, and very hard to remain       >composed kinda thng, but like most things you eventually get-used to it       >and the dread goes away...       >       >the trick being to deliberately look outward at what you're seeing instead       >of inward and how you're feeling; the more you can ignore the 'self' and       >look-away from it the less it bothers you, and coz all that uncomfortable       >crap/side of things is only ever associated with the self...              Bullshit again, straight from online reviews. Post a pic. What's the       harm? If I'm wrong, I'll straight up apologise and we can get on with       it comparing the quality and so on, but I just don't believe you mate,       I don't. I smell a rat. And I don't know why, it seems compulsive       with you...              >       >e.g., instead of focusing on how awful i felt (i've got some great stories       >about struggling with all that heh, with thai-grass particularly) i would       >instead set out on an adventure, meaning the world appears to work in a       >different manner when you're in that altered state, even physics isn't       >exactly the same? so because of that whenever it got trippy i'd set out to       >find/discover things, hidden things, unusual books, potentially magical       >items, anything with a mysterious feeling to it at the time... nonsense, i       >know, but some of the stuff i'd come back with from these 'excursions' was       >actually even quite good on occasion, carlos castaneda's first book being       >among them and that's always been a great story, and am possibly only       >talking to you now because of one of those trips-out into the unknown ;)       >       >certain weeds can still trigger that experience... who knows, maybe       >joining this clinic is even what this is all about (i've been wondering       >why it's happening kinda thing) and any minute now am gonna hit the       >jackpot of an excursion lol :)       >       >well, one good J of this has indeed altered my perception, not massively       >though, the best ones usually requiring only the one to know everything       >about it...              For a seasoned smoker, a number or a pipe won't do much except make       you stoned, more vivid music noise colours etc, better taste and a       body stone, but that's about it. In truth, I'm not a big smoker       anymore, it's prosaic. I'd rather have a cold beer.                     >       >it's ok though, calm, warm and kinda glowy, and there's some nice       >hypnagogia/light-shows when i close my eyes... yeah, it's relaxing...       >meditative/contemplative...              See this is what I mean. Who do you think you're kidding? It ain't       me bub. That's how a first time smoker who's 16 might describe it,       but not a 70 year old like you. It doesn't pass the smell test.       Upload a pic, no details, just a pic of a tub with the lid off from       the top and your nick or my nick next to it.              Prove me wrong mate...              >       >methinks the dishes can wait until later haha :)))              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
