(OT) I Have Seen The Light/ I Am A Changed Person

[Keyser Soze]

Hello,

After so much ranting about how anti drugs I am, "I have seen the light".
I should say that I am not condoning the use of drugs, but if you can discipline yourself and not get hooked, or rather not get into the habit of doing it far too often then I say it's ok.

I used to have a serious problem years ago and for the last 7 years I have been clean living. However, I decided to make myself a tea, well rather a hot chocolate with some weed (as I don't want to smoke or inhale stuff into my lungs) and wow!!! I have to say it was great!!! I was off my face (in a nice way, though initially it was a bit intense. Though a seasoned pro like me knew what to expect)!! It made me realise how uptight I have been over so many trivial matters and how I can be an arsehole at times (that has manifested itself in this forum on ocassions). Not to forget a new lease of life and perspective on my music and creativity.

I am wise enough now and strong enough not to go down the slippery slope that drugs can take you to. I say in moderation and if you are in control, go for it. I take back my totally anti-drug stance that I used to have. But you must be in control and not let it dominate.

Just in case you are interested, I put half a gram or maybe a bit less of weed into a frying pan with some olive oil and butter and gently fried it for about 5 minutes. Then I added it to a saucepan with a about a cup of hot milk and let it gently cook for about another 10 minutes. Add hot chocolate powder in a cup, then pour the contents of the frying pan into the cup using a tea strainer (to get rid of the gunk) and voila! On a empty stomach it kicks in after about 45 minutes to one hour, with a full stomach it kicks in after 2 hours or maybe more.

Once again I have to say it was a great buzz!! I will maybe do it once every 2 weeks or monthly. I dunno yet. But I will say again, its was a great reality check, put things into perspective thing, seeing things from a different angle and good for the creative juices. But I still maintain be sensible!!


I will apologise for coming across as so single minded and sometimes aggressive in my past posts and threads. Please forgive me!! I am a changed person and I think for the better.

good deal man. change, openness, and apologies can be very uplifting.

a little weed never killed anybody.

a little heroin is a totally different story...

a little heroin is a totally different story...

what about william burroughs? He seemed to be pretty productive, and certainly lived a long enough life.


not saying that people should take heroin, or that it isn't dangerous, just throwing another point of view out there.



Personally, i tried heroin and found it boring, that's why i don't do it.

Burroughs wasn't human, if there was ever an alien being walking among us it was him. And Christopher Walken.

[j0shu@]

alls im saying is:

weed never = dead

heroin sometimes = dead

nothing serious.

[leisuremuffin]

oh, hell yeah, i agree with that.


you can even say:

weed never = dead
alcohol sometimes = dead

Burroughs wasn't human

He was better.

Homosexual ex-Scientology junkies usually are.

[continuous]

Burroughs was a Scientologist at one point in his life?
WoW.

I guess people can/do change.

I used weed so much even reading this thread brings back mild feelings of parinoia.

I stopped taking drugs over 6 years ago!!

Having said that, I've no problems with other people doing drugs, they're just not for me any more.

except for coke that is, that stuff just turns people into assholes!

by slippery slope do you mean the view that if you toke a joint you will be doing heroin in 10 years? It bugs me to hear people talk about slippery slopes with drugs because its always your choice to do or not do drugs. Ive been smoking weed for about 10 years & i have never even tried any other drugs, despite the fact that 99% of my friends have. I think you always have control, its just about how much you use it and about how much you want to stick to it.

ya...

and william burroughs was hardly productive...
seems to me he was just a self-important sexual deviant with a habit. So he spewed his neurosis onto paper for his audience to lap up, that makes a man productive ?

LOL - the world needs to redfine the word if thats the case.

The anointing oil used by Jesus and his disciples contained an ingredient called kaneh-bosem which has since been identified as cannabis extract

well, this would explain all the miracles. Every one in the audience was stoned.
