Synthetic cannabis focus group

[_Gina_]

Off the back of a conversation held within another thread...I felt that there may be some people in our KB community that would be interested in takng part so here we go!

I am looking for 6 people to take part in a focus group for Synthetic Cannabis starting next week in Auckland (Takapuna) on Tuesday and Thursdays in the evening.
You will be fed, try the product and receive a $20.00 fuel voucher to cover costs to attend.

Basic requirements:

No alcohol or substances consumed on the day of the group.

Should you be interested, available and wish to discuss further please PM your contact details so you can be contacted.

:niceone:

[Bassmatt]

What is the reason for this, who is funding it?

[98tls]

Are you trying to promote the shit or show people that it is indeed shit,nasty shit.Not an opinion more an observation after seeing the crap my brother inlaws had with his 16 year old who thinks its great stuff.

[Road kill]

I've resently tried the stuff so I could have an informed opinion that I knew wasn't biased.

It's fucking horrible crap.

[FJRider]

Six people should be enough to lobby Government with ... surely ... ?? :msn-wink:

[mashman]

I live too far away... and I hate the shit too. Had a wee stint, 3 or 4 months or so trying different brands and finally when I found one that was "ok" (FTP), they yanked it.

What are they going to make you smoke? Or is it a private party to prove your avatar wrong? If it's the latter, I'll be up, erm, yeah, in about 10 hours.

[kinger]

Shouldn't another basic requirement be the will to walk, get a lift or use public transport to/from the trial.

[scissorhands]

I'll send a PM thanks.

[Akzle]

i'll be the control group that smokes dope.
fuck auckland, i'll do it from home.
you can post my voucher. and send some of that food, too.

[Akzle]

I found one that was "ok" (FTP), they yanked it.

BZP. benzopiperazine. you can grow the shit. any hot peppers will have it in fair doses. getting it into you is the challenge. also in pepper spray, so next ime you're talking to the local bob...(steal his bat-belt)

[FJRider]

Shouldn't another basic requirement be the will to walk, get a lift or use public transport to/from the trial.

The will to walk is sadly lacking in today's society. And yesterdays society too .... :rolleyes:

Tomorrows society isn't looking that flash either .. <_<

[Berries]

The will to walk is sadly lacking in today's society.
I tend to lose the will to walk about two thirds down the first joint. Unless for food.



I'll walk miles for a hobnob.

[Madness]

Unfortunately the opportunity to hang out with Gina, free food & $20 doesn't stack up against a whole freaking day without decent Cannabis and the potential headache from being a Guinea-Pig. Trust me though, if I was single...

[Usarka]

Well, they give you $20 for petrol, so guess you're supposed to drive :confused:

I heard an interview with the head of the drug & alcohol foundation a while ago and paraphrasing here but he said the new stuff's worse than the old stuff as the makers try to work around the bans and legislation. He asked - who could possibly have forseen that, oh wait they told the govt that would happen (as did numerous other groups).

[awayatc]

oh wait they told the govt that would happen


The gubbermint doesn't listen to anybody.....

we listen to the gubbermint.....

What do you think this is..?

a democracy...?

[FJRider]

... Trust me though, if I was single...

Go to it ... by the time you get home ... you may (as) well be single ..

[98tls]

Why we have to lobbys beyond me,best thing we could do with the shit is tell those that we pay to make decisions on our behalf that if its to be readily available then there children/grandchildren have a daily intake and then get them to make a decision after 6 months,fucking simple really.

The purpose of the focus group is to see what the product is like... How is it experienced? Is it enjoyable? How strong is it? Does it make you hungary? Happy? Excited?

[mashman]

BZP... I once tried that stuff in pill form and was moderately pleased with the effects. Longer lasting than coke and without turning me into a complete wanker. Hot peppers? I have a few that I need to remove from the garden. I must have a wee read. Rather that than pop over the road to Mr Plod, smack him in the face and inhale deeply... he's a jolly nice fulla.

:killingme aye, who would have thought that druggies would be smart enough to accomplish such a thing eh. Oh yeah, politicians and expert groups.

If it's turning anyone into a small Eastern European country I'll fly up for a blow on that stuff. Have fun :yes:

I have heard that they do that in Bombay after they have taken your kidneys out.


And Hamilton.

I think it's to sit round, have a bit of a giggle, and battle munchies.

(Not quite sure of the effects of the synthetic stuff, but the group giggle was always fun.)

My kidneys are still on their knees from a few packets of last years batches

Check out this tomorrow morning...

Duncan Garner is going to do his Radio Live morning show on synthetic cannibis.

[Banditbandit]

Jeez .. when I worked in radio we NEVER let people on air who were on anything like that ...

[scumdog]

In the days of crystal sets they probably didn't have such drugs...:msn-wink:

Bwhahahaha ... naaa .. we had radio back then ... just no TV ... (but GodZone certainly got TV before I first found drugs .. )

via Hospital?

[Big Dave]

Does it make you hungary?


Probably sounding like Danube but I'd have to Czech.

Why?
To boost sales?
Or to improve spelling and grammar?

[Usarka]

If I just heard correctly duncan garner is toking up tomorrow on air to see what the stuff's like.

Assuming he doesn't know already :whistle:

Could be entertaining....

[Big Dave]

Focus, the group:

Odds on the meeting sounding like that?

[_Gina_]

Owned, that spelling/grammar was pretty shabby :(

And no this is not profit driven - all things being fair and equal it should have been regulated etc before it was able to be marketed/sold but hey thats so not what happened. Carrying out control trial groups across the available range makes sense...the outcome will be one part of the bigger decision with regard to potential Legislation going forward.

[scissorhands]

The dairy thing has got to stop.
Technically, smart drugs and synthetic drug use policy is a sensible way to move forward.
It seems only now Kiwis are really starting to think and talk about it.
A bit like computers, its new, and youth are leading the way in educating their parents and older adults who have never been in a legal high store.

In the 80's before red bull even, I was crushing up herbs from Dragon Space and putting them in capsules for my friends, totally legal and very very popular.
Guarana cola ginkgo based little scalp lifters...

If I really wanted to, you could design a whole range of herbal concoctions that would be popular recipe's for different moods and situations.
Funeral blend, rugby world cup blend, election blend, friday night blend....

To add credibility to the industry, (as well as getting out of corner stores) a move away from smoking highs to pills and liquids/drinks, as smoking will always struggle to keep up with harm minimisation, which is becoming more relevant every year.

Same as cannabis product. Hash or vaporisers should become the standard for smoking, as harm from burning whole leaf is considerably more

I mean who chugs down jugs of 3% leon rogue or big bots of custard top anymore?

[nodrog]

Will there be cake?

[MisterD]

Will there be cake?

No, that's a completely different drug.

[Naki Rat]

Oxymoron??

[scumdog]

Again. why is it called 'synthetic cannabis' when there's nothing cannabis about it??:confused:

[imdying]

Branding I guess... if booze were outlawed, people would have 'synthetic booze' on the shelves so fast our heads wouldn't have time to spin :laugh: Or maybe it's actually a synthetic THC?

Hey look at that Scummy, we're talking about shit and passing judgement on shit we know nothing about :D

[caspernz]

Whenever I hear this synthetic cannabis shit espoused I can't help but think of Ozzy Osbourne...:eek:

Or maybe I'm just annoyed that for years we've had drug testing at work? :eek::eek::no:

[Usarka]

Will there be cake?

Mint choc chip ice cream.

I had a bash with "mad dog 357 " and can vouch for the above !!!

Stephen

ps the other stuff is horrible crap ,,,

[FJRider]

Carrying out control trial groups across the available range makes sense...the outcome will be one part of the bigger decision with regard to potential Legislation going forward.

It made sense to a few that a test would be done by a Radio announcer ... ON AIR ...

Probably (in hindsight) ... not the best decision in regards to potential legislation approval being considered.
