The drug thread

To keep it from drying out, put it in an airtight glass jar. If it is already dry, add some orange peels.

 

In answer to a question - THC, the part of pot that gets you high, can be fatal when taken in a high enough dose. It is almost impossible to practically do this unless you're pressing plants for oil or doing laboratory distillation and purification. But you can absolutely OD and kill yourself on THC - although it's almost impossible.

Ketamine has a lower toxicity level than THC and is also almost as hard to practically OD on. While you could hypothetically jack enough ketamine to kill yourself - it's unlikely that you'd be able to do so. For practical purposes - I think you'd pretty much need an IV drip that you could massively overload with Ketamine to do it, or somebody else to do it to you - otherwise you can't consume enough Ketamine to kill you fast enough to do so before you pass out.

The other negative side effects however kick in at much lower doses - and if you started trying to OD on Ketamine - you'd really want to hope that you succeed - because the long term damage from a heavy over dose might not be fatal - but it will do all kinds of long term damage to your health, physical and mental in a major way.

This... is awesome.

 

Are there any reported cases of this happening or is it just in theory? I was always told there wasn't even one.

 

I think with psychedelics, it just depends on the person. I've always had a blast on shrooms, and when I split an ounce with 5 friends at the Pemberton Festival, this was the same. Hung out with friends, walked around on my own, hung out in the beer garden, ran into some friends, watched Nine Inch Nails on my own beside some guy tweeking on a ton of E. Had so much fun throughout all of it.

A few friends however didn't have as good a time. One disappeared to his tent and called his dad to ask how his dirtbike and dog was back home (not sure how he explained that one when he got home) and another started talking about how much he just wanted to kill himself because he was hating the come down. These two had had bad trips previous times too though, when tripping at someone's house on our own.

I'd just give the same advice as all trips: go in with a positive attitude and do your best to have fun.

 

Hey guys, I'm a little embarrassed by posting this question, but what the hell...

I am currently looking to become a cop/member of the Criminal Justice industry. I have been drug free for almost 4 years (and even then, I just smoked weed about 5 times) but my roommates are big potheads. I have been in the room with them as they smoked pot on many occasions as well. What are the chances of failing a drug test? I know nothing about all the tests or anything like that.

Once again, I know I sound like an idiot, but none the less, thanks.

 

What kind of drug test is it? I don't know much about hair, but any other test you should be fine.

Also, you should be more worried about your background check. Living with pot heads is enough to disqualify you from a lot of things.

 

Unless you've smoked pot within the past 30 days (usually less if you're skinny and not a heavy user) and haven't done any other drugs in (usually) about 3 days you won't fail a drug test. If you decide you want to be a cop some departments may give you a polygraph (which is bullshit because those things aren't even admissible in court I think). Questions vary but they will ask you if you have ever used drugs. Usually they say, "have you done x drug in y years?" The window for pot is usually way less than for any other drugs, and the fact that you have only lightly experimented shouldn't bar you from a job. That being said, BE HONEST, because if you lie and they find out you will be fucked. If you ever decide you want to work for a federal agency they will look much deeper into your past, perhaps even tracking down your current roomates. As for just living with potheads, that shouldn't affect you getting a run of the mill police job. I can't comment on that scenario at the federal level but I do know that there are some people on this board who have had to get security clearance for federal jobs.

EDIT: Not 100% on this but I think you have actually had to smoke pot for it to end up in your hair. If you know they're going to pull you hair and you're concerned about it shave your head, and if you are a particularly hairy dude, your chest as well.

 

I'm not sure why pot gets such a bad rap for making people lazy, my friends and I are usually more productive when high.

I read a lot, love to cook, and clean.

Do fellow tokers feel more or less productive when smoking?

 

I go both ways.

If I take just a couple hits or do a one hitter I feel more productive and actually focus on cleaning or studying. Not only that but actually feel motivated and happy to do the work.

If I end up smoking a bowl or two or seven with some friends, I am done. I don't hardly even want to go out and party I would rather just sit watch some TV maybe play some video games and have some laughs.

 

Not to post too many times, but pot can make mundane tasks fun. I used to work at a factory where I made name tags for fast food places. I don't like pot, but the people I work with would come in high out of their minds. They claimed that they could turn work into a game. If all you have to do for 8 hours is sit and epoxy pins on the back of nametags I guess you may as well be stoned.

 

I don't have any tests lined up, I've just been sending resumes out and taking civil service tests. I just wanted to know what I was in for.

 

Question from a friend:

My friend is making pot brownies. After cooking the pot in vegetable oil to extract the THC, is the leftover weed smokable at all? I think that the majority of the THC would be in the oil, so smoking it would be mostly pointless, and that smoking it would basically be the equivalent of smoking vegetable oil. Anyone have experience with this?

 

Not worth the trouble. If your friend did it right, the left over reefer will be all brownish (and also soaked in vegetable oil) which basically means that all the THC has successfully been extracted, or enough to not make it worth it to dry the shit out and try and smoke it. Just wait for the brownies.

 

Has anyone ever had success with ordering pills on-line? I'm not looking to get a ton to distribute or anything stupid like that but I would like some for personal use.

No I do not have a doctors script either.

 

You'll get ripped off for sure. If you're lucky it won't be a DEA agent.

 

I have an appointment with a doctor on Monday. I'm trying to get another prescription for ADHD medicine adderall. I was on it in my early 20s and was able to focus and didn't get distracted every time I saw something shiny go by.

The problem is I am currently on Prozac and have a history of alcoholism. Is there something specific I should say to not sound like I am script shopping? I've never abused pills and don't plan on it. Even in my drinking heyday I had an open prescription for xanax that I never hardly used. (Maybe 0.25mg every three or four days) I've been told I am going to have issues trying to get put back on adderall since so many college kids are abusing it.

 

If any of you Canadians live around Vancouver this would be a guy to know. He is a medical patient up there that has a lot of videos on youtube. This one is the biggest joint i have ever seen. Enjoy.

 

I didn't even realize adderall or xanax were addictive or being abused as openly until I went to rehab for drinking. Then again, I didn't know people drank Listerine or Vanilla extract either... or beer bonged in their ass... or injected various fruits with liquor filled syringes to eat at work all day. I learned more than I ever wanted to know about drugs there.
