A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
My mom once told me that, in her youth, you could ask whether smoking weed was okay in an environment by saying "is it cooool?" stretching out the word and making a sort of fish swimming motion with your hand.
I don't know whether that's true, nor - if so - how widespread it was. Probably it's not still accurate in any case.
To give you another data point: It’s what teens and young adults would do in the small ass town in Nebraska I grew up in (80s-90s). Not sure if it’s still a thing as I’m never going back.
Well, thank you for the information! I believe she was talking about the 70s-ish, but I don't really know. No idea where, but almost certainly not Nebraska.
Was your mom a teenager in the 80s?
I would never allow anybody to smoke anything in my car. Definitely not cigarettes either.
The only smoking I allow in my car is my brakes.
what about that sausage, daddy
The clutch is allowed to smoke sometimes as a treat.
This happened to a friend of mine. He gave a ride to this girl that was a friend of a friend and she asked him if she could smoke in his car. He said OK and she pulls out a meth pipe.
Yikes. In most places, if there is drug paraphernalia in your car, you will go to jail for it also.
This happened to me.
We were sharing a joint after a pagan ritual and he whipped out a real pipe.
He looked at me and started to ask “do you want? Nah, not you”
And I appreciated it because I’m not sure I could handle something harder than nicotine or caffeine.
That might have actually been DMT...
Nope, never did DMT.
It’s just the rest of the pagans were too square to smoke a J
Had some good reading. I'm not seeing much of a down side? DMT sounds like a great tool to help with trauma. Worse case is a bad trip. Which no one really wants, but the odds seem low.
It's not good for trauma. The reason is because it is extremely short acting (within about 10-15 minutes depending, you are back at baseline) so there is little to no time to do the work and to do the integration of the experience. Psilocybin remains the gold standard for psychedelic assisted therapy and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Also, a lot of people freak out on DMT because it hits so quickly and so incredibly hard. Lastly, it almost always leaves people with some varying level of amnesia about the experience, so even if you did manage to have a breakthrough or work things out, you would almost certainly forget as soon as you were sober again.
I had a horrible experience with changa / DMT
Bad trip?
Yeah. Took me around a month to digest and I kind of made me lose interest in psychedelics
Was it anything you could have better prep for ,like location or ppl around you, or was it just bad from the start?
I had a similar setup as I used several times for shrooms before. However, that didn't prepare me for Changa (smoked DMT). There was no wiggle room. It hit me, I heard weird sounds and then time stopped. I saw myself from above and was disgusted by what I saw and super sad. Also scared because time just didn't want to continue. So I was there, frozen in misery for an unknown amount of time when finally the trees outside the window started morphing weirdly and then time came back and I got control over my body back. I had a disgusting taste in my mouth and just felt like a piece of shit for a while and had several panic attacks the following weeks.
Under the influence of shrooms I could move and change the setting, the music, my attention etc to navigate my way out bad experiences but that didn't work for Changa.
Def sounds like a really bad time.
Yea, it’s more of a positive trip than any other psychedelics. It’s a great meditation tool for me.
I believe she was 40 in 1987.
Just dont get your own dealer
Crack isn't that bad. Don't knock it until you try it. It's just a stimulant. Bunch of babies.
I smoke crack 70,80 times a day and I'm fine. Have done for 50 years. It embiggens your blood and is very easy on the wallet.
Postal Dude? Is that you?
And heroin's just an opiate! And PCP and Ketamine are just anaesthetics!
Ketamine is genuinely pretty harmless though. Not without risks of course but still not really anywhere near the others. More on par with weed, shrooms and such.
Several friends of mine lost their mind with extended ketamine use. Still alive, but barely capable of doing things.
Yes, I agree. And I said as much in a comment below. It was all me being sarcastic, and forgetting that sarcasm doesn't really translate through the internet, lol. It was all jokes.
Heroin itself isn't that unsafe, the problem was that anyone who could guarantee a consistent dose was locked up, and now you probably can't even get clean H cuz fent is so much more concentrated and therefore easier to smuggle. Anyone who dies of an opiate overdose is someone killed by the state's endless war on humanity.
Ketamine is one of the safest medications we know of when used properly.
Get your head out of Nixon's drug war propaganda.
It was all jokes. I am certainly not a victim of that sort of propaganda.
I abused the living shit out of ketamine and a ton of it's analogues for over a decade. For about 6 years there during the worst of it, if I was conscious, I was at some varying level of highness off of ketamine and/or any number of ketamine analogues literally 24/7/365 for years and years on end. I know that it is physically extremely safe, with the exception of the urinary tract effects.
I've never abused opiates myself (don't like the feeling), but I have a ton of friends who did and/or still do. You're right though, there is no real, even remotely pure heroin around where I live, and there hasn't been for the better part of a decade. It's all fent and fent analogues and nitazenes. Or so my friends tell me, that is.
when billionaires and all their money can’t control their addiction sure buddy
like no one should go to jail just for use and obviously not everyone goes full addict after one hit but I know enough that started with thinking just one time
why risk it?, just smoke your cigs and weed
It's medicinal. I have a prescription.
you'll cowards don't even smoke crack
fuck tha world it aint real i bend tha spoon wit my mind >>>
I get the viper reference, lulz
what's up with that?
Gotta be honest this seems like a shit post comment but I've done my rounds, crack is weak sauce
