Why is it that the average person would cry their fucking eyes out if they got some form of cancer from smoking cigarettes, and yet they smoke them everyday?
Do we all think it just won't happen to us?
if i was told "stop smoking or you're definitely guaranteed to get cancer (in X-timeframe)" then i'd probably stop smoking depending on my state of mind at the time
i think it's just about taking chances
People don't see the real risk in things until the consequences become their reality
Chilled with a few friends yesterday that I haven't seen in years, plus did my first dab with them. Was strawberry cough :)

That's a good point. I know I smoked cigarettes for a while, but after a long time, don't you feel like you're just pushing your luck? And why take the chance for something so simple as cigarettes?
All those cigarettes I've smoked are long gone and in the past. I no longer feel that enjoyment and relief that I did from smoking them, as it was only temporary, while the potential health effects from them can cause suffering that lasts a lot longer, not only to you, but also to your loved ones, as they do not want you to suffer and die prematurely.
By choosing to limit your exposure to harmful things, you can live a lot longer, and have the longer lasting well being and happiness that comes from being alive, in good health, and being there with your loved ones.
Life is very short, but not as short as the pleasure from smoking cigarettes.
This of course applies to many other things. For example, my father ate himself to death.
When he was alive, he always told me he'd rather "live a happy life" and eat all the terrible junk food he wants and to be lazy than to be "unhappy" and eat well and take part in wholesome activities.
I'd argue with him that first of all, his liking of unhealthy food comes from eating unhealthy food, and his dislike for healthy food comes from not eating it. Your tastes are based on what you eat, and you can literally change them if you want.
Secondly, it is not a truly happy life if you always give into your cravings and laziness, as your health suffers because of it. He was confined to his house because of it, and couldn't take part in many activities, nor could he be here in life with his family and friends.
He always told me that I was "restricting myself" by not eating junk food, but I always had the most freedom. I never felt shitty, weighed down or got sick from exercise and eating healthy food, and so I had the energy and ability to do what I wanted, while he couldn't even go play hockey with his friends, something he wished he could do. How is giving into your cravings truly a life of freedom? How does it represent being able to make your own choices in life, when it actually limits what you can do?
This, of course, is a pretty extreme example. Most people it seems will live life with more of a balance. They will engage in many different unhealthy activities in small amounts, and take part in some healthy ones, never taking in too much of one certain type of poison. Also, everyone seems to be different. Someone can die after a few years of smoking cigarettes, while someone else has been smoking them for decades.
Sorry for the long post. I'm not sure if I explained myself properly, and I feel as if I may have left out important details, but this is all I can improvise right now. Thank you for reading, and I wish you all the best.
Because nicotine is a helluva drug.
That kief took me to an uncomfortable part of the moon where you hear clattering as gunshots and interpret muffled voices as people screaming for 911, but you look outside and everything's fine. And my mind was too cloudy to remember to meditate to flush that all out. And then my brain was still fried for like 8 hours afterwards, barely able to think
Deeefinitely gotta watch myself and teach myself better freak-out procedures. Although I did gain some kind of understanding of the actions of various neurotransmitters on how associated thoughts get activated in your brain. Like I don't know why but weed just sets my brain into cognitive science/linguistics mode

Bad shit happens, good shit happens, and then you die. Mentality of it won't happen to me for people don't live by numbers. Mind you they should just shut the fuck up because the packaging tells them it could happen. Some people could smoke there whole life without getting it other might be one year then its sick and dying. Drugs effect everyone differently.
I just had a dream that I accidentally took 750mg of DPH somehow. It was not fun in any way
It wasn't a standard DPH trip, I was mostly just disconnected from reality and the fact that it was a dream made that really easy to believe, so it got uncomfortable really quickly...
ahhhhhh nothing like drinking alone

I did 1400mg of DPH one night. I was seeing things and wandering around the house at night and my mom found me and I yelled something at 4 am about how I thought they were given injections or something. I also thought my ex wanted her sweater back and she had come by to pick it up. They thought it was a schizophrenic episode..

by the way to those who think binging off molly is a good idea or that they just feel like pushing their luck - it was molly that gave me my schizophrenia.
I'm looking for this one video that was posted in here a few months back- it was the scene from a movie (british iirc) and it was this character describing the effects of ecstasy/MDMA , from what I remember it was just a bunch of characters standing in a pure white room and him describing the effects. I remember it was really eloquent/well-put and since I'm going to be doing some tonight I wanted to show it to my friends.

Dude, that effort is paying off, this shizz is dope
The voices fading in at around 2:25 felt a bit strange, not quite sure why. It just kind of unexpectedly grabbed my attention but as it faded in more it was good. Same thing with the second time they come in
I'm curious what your whole creative process behind making these tracks is

posting this was like trying to post a titanic
I finished my first uni term yesterday, now i've got two weeks of unrestrained party before i gotta go back.
im back to smoking hash, cigs and i also did mdma two days ago.
Don't fall too deep brother
Shiit i need a job pretty soon, just to get out of the house and stop myself from going mad.

no worries man, life has its ups and downs it'll be alright.
Been sober for a few weeks.
Jonsin' to just get a bub, and find a hell of Crystal to load it with.
But alas', I want a healthy state of mind.
Amphetamine withdrawals really kick you in the ass.
Also, tried Therapy, I guess it's alright.

what do you wanna know? you can add me on steam if you want and we can talk about all the behind the scenes stuff if you'd like, most of my music has some form of hidden subtext relating to me (i don't know how to describe it briefly) that i don't really talk about
thank you tho, i'm glad you like it <3

Started tolerance break on April 1st, planning on going until 4/20, glad I got school off, but could have shit due on the 4/21. Weed not having the same "magic" as time goes by makes this easier than expected.
As for the the smoking being bad for you discussion. I know that there's a lot less harmful things going into me from a bong hit than a cigarette, but both have tar. I'm not going to try a cigarette and every time I try a cigar I'm disappointed, I wonder how a hookah session compares to a blunt or bong or pipe session in terms of harmful smoke.
Since I've been using my friends extreme q vape, I've weened down a lot on combusting seeing how it eats weed like mad. In order to get a strong enough high from combusting, I feel like I have to burn so much weed and totally scorchout my throat and cough up a storm. Meanwhile 0.5 a gram in the vape on my own and I'm really high. I wish I could get a bong like high without combusting due to the inefficiencies I mentioned.
I'm wondering do those cannaboids come out during cooking and is there a way to get an edible high that doesn't last for 6 hours?
Did some coke microdosing earlier this week after I was working on some ECE homework and found some crumbs leftover from the weekend on my desk and stuck them in my gums. I was impressed how much it did on such a low dosage starting in a sober state. One of the signature things I noticed that came up was the eurphoria with hearing music differently that I associate with it.

[QUOTE=Tacooo;47452767]Does anyone get anxious when talking to people on teamspeak while high? I'm just talking to my friends but the thought of 5 people listening to me while I speak is weird as fuck, and I'm so scared of being interrupted when talking. Oh god[/QUOTE]
Not on the internet, but in real life among non/light weed users. Fuck everyone that makes me self conscious for an hour or so their 10 seconds of amusement.
[QUOTE=cody8295;47436042]I keep having this reoccurring theme in my dreams of going to hit a bowl and then not realizing that I'm not closing the carb. I usually quickly fix my mistake but it almost always reminds me that I'm dreaming and I instantly change dreams or wake up.[/QUOTE]
You know, I had the same dream.
Except it was that I somehow stumbled upon a mighty rock of Amphet.
and I somehow got a hold of a nice nice Pyrex Pipe, and every time I hit it, I realized, I'm dreaming. But I couldn't wake up, because I didn't want to not have such items.
But ofcourse it always comes when i open my eyes.
