I wonder if it's possible to get some harder drug users on to some uber green?

Dunno, I would imagine that it's been tried by some. I've never been addicted to anything harder, I know that sounds wrong... in a good way, to know if high concentrations of THC would replace methadone or any other prescription withdrawal aids. I'm more than happy to try it out, impartially and in the name of science of course (won't enjoy a minute) if someone's gonna be funding the experiment

. It may well serve as a long term replacement if the addiction is to the sensation and not to the enjoyment iykwim.

That's a darn fine question.

For some reason I'm envisioning a beaker full of white fluid appearing in the mail... potentially laced with green food colouring

Ahh ya see, I've been "straight" for extensive periods of time and have honed my telepathic abilities through the practice of plane surfing. Bit of a mind fuck, and a curse, but I'm a 1st plane black belt now and can bend spoons with my mind. Forks are another thing entirely, but I'll get there.

Step away from the bong bro...

Are you guys mind readers?

Did the interesting drug you once tried help you in any way?

I got a bit pissed 2 nights back and with the recent head injury am not 100%. No stories

I'm okay, but the grog knocked me around.

Yawn.... I'm getting bored with these clubs, I like the mateship but I'm not a hard out stoner like most.

Yes and which interesting drug, there have been a couple or six

From my personal experience I'd say that you are particularly over-sensitive to THC and I wouldn't fly with someone like you who is stoned. Nothing personal.

You could be right, I´m sure I´m not the only one who has experienced negative side effects from THC. Some people don´t drink because they get hideous hangovers or make twats of themselves after only a few beers. Stoned but knew he could handle an aircraft?

Any amount of drug including booze can effect decision making, purely slander here but there is a good chance the cruise ship that ran aground recently had something to do with alcohol. Don´t worry I don´t take it personally - I don´t suffer from paranoia

I worked with a guy who was trying to stop smoking and decided to smoke cabbage every time he wanted a cigarette.

He was stoned for weeks before deciding it wasn't a good idea working at a hospital in that state........

In regard to peeps like us, 25 plus reasonably sound men

The only issues of consequence in order of importance are:

1 soft thru the middle
Many guys can lose drive and ambition, and sit around getting stoned with their mates all day

2 driving
Until one becomes accustomed to the effects, driving is difficult. However, old school stoners are slow and safe, absolutely no incidents in many high end users over a 2-3 year period.

These are direct observations.
I have pretty much almost finished a thesis on the cannabis culture movement, so I have little reason to stay as I have learnt what I came to learn. I may write a book, aspies love their special interests, but once the spark is gone its goodnight from me.

Nearly all the other claims are mostly bollocks, some small truths, but not enough to warrant attention.

I mean I wouldnt fly with someone who ate 1/2 packet of tim tams and 2 coffees, but is that really a topic of debate?

If your looking for permanent damage to individuals and society, cannabis is way down the list of most offending culprits.

It would be the petty thief.......... stealing some youth from society and parents, but hey, ownership of wilful PDD peeps has always been a hard or near impossible road that causes many lion tamers with a whip and a chair.....to go mad....

and so they should-bastard alpha male wants all the action

Mate my point is cannabis isn't totally harmless, you can get used to driving pissed as well but why would you? All drugs have side effects, if we didn't know about alchohol and someone started brewing it up in their back yard and selling it on the streets it wouldn't take long before it was banned and made illegal. Cannabis is not much better or worse than alchohol, but to say its better or harmless is not true. The only reason alchohol is legal is because its been so ingrained in our everyday lives for hundreds of years.
