    Is your experience based on college dealers? They aren't much of a dealer if they're getting tuned up on their own gear.

    lol,Thats the mistakes these guys are making their confusing padjo down the road thats 2 years older than them and has a car,whos just selling some blow for a free bit of smoke.... :rolleyes:

    It was cannibas oil, I cant remember the name though.


    You can make hash oil quite easily from bog standard weed or hash...it's usually made from leaves or shakings from a weed harvest and is a pain in the arse to smoke.

    Most people who make it keep it for themselves but if they sold it to you for that price you were well and truly ripped.

    Well you posted a generic scenario and a few sentences about cold turkey.

    You say you never took heroin before this dude showed up and you both started smoking it,fine but i'd like to know what were your drug experiences before that?

    It's not that easy to get strung out and i've never met anybody who took heroin untill they'd done the gammut of dope,acid,speed,pills or coke beforehand.

    Its very easy to get strung,If you read my my post i blamed the legality of weed for it being a gateway drug,If weed was legal i wouldnt think that, studies in countries where weed is legal shows it doesnt lead to stronger drugs.

    As if the legality of weed decides if its a gateway drug:rolleyes:

    It doesnt lead to anythin...i know people who've smokd weed for 30 years and might have gona as far as acid but certainly nobody who got strung out on gear as a direct result of smoking weed.

    It's sort of like saying if you're fond of a pint of beer occasionaly you'll eventually end up addicted to potin.

    I think he meant that its a gateway drug as in, everyperson who is strung out or used higher class A's, first smoked grass. Course alcohol comes before, but in terms of illegal chemicals available in the drug scene, the above is most likely always true. Obviously to the politically correct here, "it can never be a gateway drug because its only a herb that grows in the ground and alcohol is much worse..."

    I agree and it depends on your personal definition i suppose,I also agree that alcohol is much worse but in legal terms weed is a drug. you are also more likely to experience serious drug addiction as a weed user in the countries where weed is illegal thats a fact,if these guys want to defend weed so much they should argue for it to be legal,as in holland a weed user is in no greater danger of becoming a serious drug addict.

    Youre still talking sh1te.As if the meer fact of weed being legal makes it less likely you'll get strung out on gear:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I used a vapourizer. But when i got it here I just painted the outside of a cigg with it ripped of the filter and smoked it like that.

    no experience with heroin.

    but the idea of a dealer only selling one item is stupid.
    a guy I go to primarily sells 1 thing (his fav) but will get you anything you want.

    another guy I have deal occionally with could have anything on him when you ring.

    According to some people though he should be shoving heroin samples in without asking.

    If it's a fact then can you supply some links to back up your claim?

    If someone is interested in trying other drugs then they are going to try those drugs regardless of whether weed is legal or not. Plenty of people try heroin and other harder drugs and don't become addicted, that also depends on many variables and I'd say weed being legal or illegal is the least of those.

    In and out of college in Ireland. Same in the US. Some European countries.

    Of course I have no experience of a heroin dealer so I guess they aren't so mellow.

    I think shes working of the hypothesis that if weed were legal you would buy it in a dispensery instead of pajo who also sells coke and gear and will swindlee poor defenseless people into buying the harder stuff.
    Bullshít of-course but there has been a very successful smear campaign on all drugs and people use this propaganda as proof that "drugs are bad"

    Is he not arguing that weed exposes you to a whole new underground? I'd legalize weed, but it isn't harmless and people like you who see it as magic fairydust are as big an impediment to getting it legalized as the crowd who push the horror stories


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Temptamperu


    Thats what I tried to say in my post. sorry it wasn't clearer. No its not harmless some people stop living after they find weed I lost a great friend to it all he wants is to sit in his room getting high. But that does not happen everyone.
    Personally I use it for pain management. I got hit by a car and they gave me opiates and difene but it made me sick as a dog and the difene gives awful cramps. I would be less than useless if I was taking these drugs where as three hits of my vaporizer a day helps me get by.
    Most people cry bull**** when I tell them and say I do it just to get high. But thats what you have to put up with until we get at least medical marijuana legalised in this country.

    From your post you appear to be older than i thought,So you were defensive of weed on the grounds that you use it,I have no objection to you using it and im not saying your going to smoke crack because you use it,I was saying that for ''some'' people the drug culture they gained access to through weed has lead them to heroin. I never said the weed itself did so i dont understand the defensiveness,I wouldnt mind my argument is one of the main reasons weed should be legalized.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    nope.
    Yep. I'd actually rate it better than sex.

    Not too much fun for the non-addicts living in the old Michaels Estate in the 90's by the looks of things.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,772 ✭✭✭✭thebaz


    for everyone saying how wonderful it is - and maybe it is, at the begining - I have never met an addict that doesn't want to stop - the problem though, is stopping , 95% never can stop long term - so , my advice , would be stay away , ther are other things in life that are nice , without so much long term pain ... and horrific complications

    Meth mouth is also caused by the prescence of acetone which is used as a solvent when it's being made. The acid attacks the enamel of the teeth and rots them away.

    The dry mouth you speak of has caused an upsurge in people drinking Mountain Dew,a hideous,gloopy concoction that is terrible for the teeth as well.

    I dont think this is true at all. People who inject or snort methamphetamine all the time would also be susceptible to meth mouth, so would ones who use pharmacy grade methamphetamine (desoxyn) at high enough doses.

    I also think the desire for soda/sugary drinks part is wrong, i bet they only want to drink water if anything.

    Id say its primarily just the lack of production of saliva combined with not keeping the mouth hydrated and probabaly not brushing (youd probably have to brush many times a day to prevent it).

    Its not really a meth specific thing, id say its the same across all amphetamine-like substance abuse.

    Not saying i know for sure, its just my opnion after reading about meth a lot trying to find out what was media-hype(theres a lot of this) and what was fact. So i dont see ones like sugary drinks or actual impurities in the meth as the cause. Anyway meth is probably one of the most pure street drugs you can get, everything else is cut to ****.

    Open to being proven wrong this is just my opinion of reading about meth a lot.

    can't answer for that - but I can see a situation where the dealer has nothing other than heroin and it been taken.

    There is an example of this given in Prof. David Nutt's book "drugs without the hot air" (a fantastic read for drug users and parents alike)
    Where a teenager couldn't get hash but took heroin instead as a substitute and OD'd.

    The free samples is well documented - I haven't experienced it with heroin but I have been offer a sample of new or different stuff with other stuff.
    "try that, I've loads if you want more" or something along those lines.

    but for somebody who doesn't "give a fuk" you seem to care quite a bit.

    I'd imagine that it's a huge dopamine rush.

    Like that pleasurable/intoxicating/anticipatory feeling you get a nanosecond right before an orgasm but for a longer period of time.

    I think that's the only reference most of us have, and I think I'd rather keep it that way, happy enough with my odd natural high, and will take a puff of anything that's passed around, apart from that, I think I'm just flirting with danger given my addictive nature.
