I guess, if it isn't hurting anyone, I don't see why it shouldn't be legal. People are going to get it either way, why shouldn't the government make a killing off of it?
Because the law enforcement folks make a killing off enforcing it. Of course, that means people are also getting killed, but that's their own fault....or something.
 
@lancia delta hf, I don't mean to nitpick, but Portugal hasn't legalised all drugs, but instead has decriminalised the use of them and treats addiction as more of a healthcare issue rather than one of crime.
 
Relating back to some of the older post. I think it should Legal. I'm Straight Edge so I haven't taken but it's been recorded to be less damaging than Alcohol and Cigarettes and they're legal. Addiction however, can ruin everyone no matter what it is. I had a GTP Addiction in Year 9 and that ruined my School Work that year, though I've been able to control it now and I'm now back on track but one of my friends is obsessed with talking to people on his phone but now he is like a competely different person and he sometimes truants class just to talk on his phone.
 
Looks like the DEA is headed toward changing marijuana to a schedule II drug instead of schedule I. Schedule II is for drugs that have some redeeming medical qualities, it would enable medical research on marijuana to help develop more medication from it.
 
Question, how immersed are you guys when playing racing games stoned? Are you able to concentrate better or does it affect your virtual driving in a negative way?
 
I'm surprised I have never seen this thread!
This thread needs a poll.
And I say yes, probably not a surprise to those who have seen my FB.
 
I concentrate a lot harder, 9/10 Iam faster as well. Iam so in the zone I rarely blink !
Same here, reaching the zone is a lot easier that way. Compared to alcohol; after a beer or two when you are tipsy more or less, you drive a bit more from the subconscious and your laptimes come down. After a couple of beers more the laptimes go up again :D

Racing stoned you get into the sweet spot quicker and you stay on the same level too 👍

I agree with @shoemaker, my concentration is through the roof when I play after I smoke, especially so if I use my gaming headset :lol: That's because it just get's me more into what I'm doing. At the same time, if I get into a very intense race, it'll intensify that feeling of being pressured as well. Nothing too much out of the ordinary in that department, though.

That is great news, schedule I for a plant you light on fire is silly. Seriously though, there are qualities and they lie in the part of the plant that is not thc, iirc can help with seizures and such.

My main reason to advocate it's legalization is hemp however, could change the world.
 
Do you guys have the Haze plants?

That stuff is so ridiculously strong that it debated here whether it's still soft drugs or should be classified as a different drug. I see the people around me who smoke it slowly turning into pale walking zombies.

I'm not to much into the whole scene as I was when I was younger, so I'm not exactly sure what that might consist of. I do know that there is some strong stuff here, the most recent trend being "Dabs." Which is concentrate THC in a smokeable thick, oil-like substance. From what I can find, these Haze strains have a THC potency of 25%, meanwhile, these dabs have up to 70%+. I think the Haze strains you mention might be the stuff the dispensaries sell that are closer to being top shelf stuff.

Also, you can get pale white from just smoking regular marijuana. If you cough up and inhale it wrong, you'll likely end up coughing up a lung, but get really high in the process. Scary high. Tunnel vision, sometimes muffled hearing, and you can black out.
 
No, I mean heroine junkie type zombies. I was talking with a group of social workers and they all said that there has been a serious shift in strength of the smokeables in the last couple of years.

As for the other thc stuff,we have that here too. Tried it once. Mental stuff. It also isn't very legal due to the ridiculous strength.

For the most part, most hardcore potheads already look like that in the first place :lol: Either way, you're right, the strength of these strains just keep getting stronger and stronger. I still it sounds like the usual top shelf stuff that my other half shows me from time to time, but really, I could be wrong.

The method used to create dabs has come into question, as its a high risk of fire, especially since people think they can just do things like this easily out of their living room with little to no experience. Still though, the funny thing is, is that it's perfectly legal here. The place my gf goes to gives them out for free for your "Donations" as they call it.
 
It's getting stronger for sure but I think the isolation of strains has something to do with it, some can bring you up, some down, some every which way but loose :lol:

@Dennisch is speaking of an indica?
 
Dutch coffeeshops have a rep for selling 'tuned' weed.
Luckily here in Spain it's mostly natural, as everything grows with this sun anyway. Good stuff too i have to say.
 
I believe we have Haze here in Colorado. I haven't been into a dispensary in awhile to really know what they sell. I stocked up on enough edibles to keep me happy for a few months.

Much like @ImaRobot said, dabbing is a big thing here as well. It's some pretty scary stuff. I won't touch it. I've seen a few people in my life end up in the hospital because of it.

I wont ever do it as well, I'll stick to the plain ol' plant as that's more than enough. My other half tells me how she has seen people who aren't experienced, or know what to expect, just pass out completely from it.

If you remember, I hang out with nothing but bikers. People who smoke and drink everyday. I've seen a few of them do just a little too much and swear that they are dying. I mean, they actually thought they were dying and called the paramedics for themselves. These people have weekend shroom and coke parties that are fueled by whiskey. If they can't handle dabbing, I know I can't. When it comes to weed, I'm a lightweight.

Smoke has got no stronger over the time I've been smoking nearly 30 yrs now it's just much easier to find for the average person to find

....

It never was hard to find here (I'm from the Netherlands) We have shops selling it since the 70's. All under the watchful eye of the long arm.

Believe me when I say that the stuff has taken a massive leap towards ridiculousness.

Your lucky I live in the uk but have always known the right people oils from back in the day are pretty close to the dabs of today and strong weed like original Afghanistan and Indian strains were just as strong as today's so called super strains why do you think so many breeders are going back to find original non hybridised strains in they're original countries. I know people who have had original strains lab tested up 27%thc and much higher cbd than most of the easily findable stuff today
 
It is all about the ghost train haze at the moment here. 25% THC, proper wrecking tackle.Even i struggle to smoke alot and i can do a quarter oz in a day no problems, i am not complaining though, the stronger the better !

You mean like this?

 
Dabs are not much different than hash. THC trichomes are simply separated from. The plant matter. Hash usually with cold straining, honey oil (what a dab really is) uses either butaine or alcohol. Obviously dabs are more "pure" in THC. Dabs take far less "matter" to get you high. Hence the term dab, cause a dab.will do ya. Most people partake in a dab much like they are smoking a bowl. Which is why they get sick feeling. They do to much to fast. Think if a dab as more of a fine scotch if you will. Sip it, don't slam it.
As for medicinal side, it all stems from the THC. There are two forms of cannabinoid. One is responsible for the high, pain relief. The other is the medicinal, anti seizure, ect. Neither can be over dosed on. If you smoke too much, you will feel like ****, then eventually become, "stoned sober." When the cannabinoid receptors in the brain become over flown with THC, it will release a countering chemical that flushes the repectors. This is how you smoke yourself straight.
 
That comes quite close to what haze is doing here.
By haze, do you mean hayze? If so, then this is actually a synthetic cannabinoid, and not actually marijuana. And it is very dangerous. It became very popular with US military troops, as it was readily available, "legal" and kinda cheap. Had a troop of mine start convulsing at the CQ desk on this crap. It will definitely cause the affects you mentioned. More so than just strong pot.
