    I feel like how I imagine ghosts feel. Just filled with indistinct, half-remembered past traumas, only ever feeling a constant dull pain and a gnawing emptiness right below my stomach, wandering around a house in the middle of the night making tortured noises and slamming cupboard doors and knocking stuff over.

    my chinchilla just ate my weed while i was in the shower and now she's hopping everywhere like a kangaroo

    The last two days, there's been a huge rash of posts on reddit/SA/failblog about "my pet ate my weed and {attempt at being funny here}"

    Careful with the chinchilla. Don't let it think that it's cool just because it got high and for the love of god if it buys any Bob Marley merch from Spencers then make the little fucker into a coat.

    there aint enough surface area on a chinchiller fer a coat, you'd get a glove, maybe.

    so apparently my adderall was at quarter-strength for an entire month

    that explains why I was incredibly moody and depressed and hungry for thirty days

    i'm currently doing a reaaaally fast taper off of methadone (got hooked on my painkillers when i threw my back out a few years ago, this seems to be a more pleasant, less intense way of getting myself off the opiate dependency than just doing cold-turkey or straight tapering off my dilaudids... down to 6ml from 60, and it's really not bad at all.)

    also scripted 4mg of xanax a day for panic attacks that i've had since, like, elementary school. at this point i only take 1mg a day tops, and even then i try and hold back for when i feel like i'm actually having a heart attack or something. i find since i quit smoking pot my anxiety is waaaaay less ridiculous and life-ruining. i actually have a medicinal card for MJ (got it when i lived in BC for 3 years), but there's no dispensaries out in winnipeg and i don't want to have to hook up with a medicinal grower (too much trouble), so it's a convenient excuse to stop smoking pot. fuck paying $10 for shitty grams, i'm used to $6 grams of kush from the shops in vancouver. :D

    oh also, i just got back from las vegas with some REAL FUCKING AMERICAN CIGARETTES (winston reds, i can't believe how cheap they are out there) and i can't even handle more than 2 a day, they blow our shitty domestic stuff like players and export a out of the water.

    speaking of drugs

    student is taken into custody during a drug raid, placed in a dea isolation cell, and left there for five days

    and not like "oh he was held for five days while we did this that and the other" no they stuck him in a cell and basically forgot about him

    allegedly he found and used a bag of meth while in the cell

    Several south-american countrys want to stop the war on drugs, because they start to loose their governmental infrastructure in big areas due to the war with the drug cartels.

    Is it a good idea to legalize hard drugs like opiates or coke? (Ignoring barbiturates here because well... you guys should know, they actually help)

    Would Society totally collapse?

    no need to go all the way and legalize right off the bat

    Portugal decriminalized a lot of soft and hard drugs and they're doing great. they did legalize possession of less than than ten days of personal use, but just lightened penalties for trafficking and possession in large amounts. also started focusing on rehab over jail time

    of course, it's hard to tell if that'd make a difference with the cartels. I feel like the police (and in some places, military forces) in cartel countries probably aren't wasting their time on petty possession anymore anyway

    fuck you for being able to get medical weed, props for kicking painkillers. i did a suboxone taper, which i think is supposed to be a lot better. i've never met any who actually quit after taking methadone, so i really hope that works for you!

    whenever people in canada or california talk about how cheap they can get actual legal quality weed i get so upset i just have to mention that a pack of delicious american cigarettes is $3.50

    i also technically have the depression

    i'm a super unhappy person but lately, i've been less unhappy then ever before, so maybe that means it's going away? regardless medicating stuff never did dick for me, except i was super high on uppers/xanax all the time.

    The bipolar disorder came first

    And I'm happier than I've ever been, though that's due in large part to the mood stabilizer and me just trying to be a better person

    I just also really enjoy drugs.

    the thing about methadone is a lot of people go up to like 100+ mls, and i capped off at 60. i'm doing a 1ml a week taper and it's not bad aside from a bit of achiness when i first wake up. the morning jog really helps with that though. and yeah, i thought about suboxone but my methadone is covered up here, suboxone is SUPER pricey... not much of a choice for me, and with the relatively small tapers (albeit every week, which is a bit fast apparently) it's not SUPER disruptive to my ability to work and socialize and exist on the material plane. :P

    and yeah, weed MENUS (http://delta9medical.ca/ for the menu of one of my preferred dispensaries out there... weed shops = omg yes) were awesome for the 3 years i was out in vancouver. nowadays though, i dunno... i need selection and good deals if i wanna justify smoking pot, and like i said... it really fucked with my anxiety shit. all in all i'm way more productive, if a BIT more inclined to want to slap people around in public for their idiocy.

    i'm just not down to pay $50 for 7 grams of weed that is of an unknown strain/quality.. plus i hate shady dealers. :/

  • blixaphonicsblixaphonics the french champagne Registered User regular
    also yes, i would murder for american booze/cigarette prices (the bourbon prices alone would justify american citizenship). every time i go down south i STOCK THE FUCK UP.

    whhhHHAAAAAA

    i don't even smoke weed that much anymore cause all it does is make me anxious so you can have all my california weed.

    i love cigarettes.

  • Zombies Tossed My Salad!Zombies Tossed My Salad! Registered User regular
    I was getting medical quality weed for $10 a gram when I was still smoking.

    But yeah since I moved home and quit smoking my anxiety has mostly gone away. Though that might be the Zoloft finally working

  • I Win SwordfightsI Win Swordfights all the traits of greatness starlight at my feetRegistered User regular
    10$ grams are what i buy from The Homie when nobody's card is available

    dispensaries range from a little less to a little more, in my experience

    i remember high school though, boy

    kids'll pay 20 bucks for a gram and think they're getting a good deal

    you could definitely get quality indica for $7 and sativa for $8 in vancouver with a card. then again, it's VANCOUVER. like literally the nexus of the pot-smoking universe. you could buy sugar shake at some shops for like $10 for a quarter-ounce.

    and i totally, totally just get panicky and worried about what people think of me when i smoke pot nowadays. i didn't even realize until i hadn't smoked for like a week after moving back to the prairies. my xanax intake has gone waaaay down.

    also i would just like to re-state for like the 3rd time: fuck canadian booze/smoke prices. fucking $10.50 for a pack of camels or winston up here, SCREW THAT NOISE.

    No, it wouldn't. Hard opiates are escape drugs, and the kind of people who use them already have nothing to lose, generally. If someone flipped a switch and you could get a six pack of syringes at the 7-11, not much would change. The people who would use habitually are largely already doing so. It's not like mom and dad with a five year old kid at home are just champing at the bit for heroin, and its Schedule I status is the only thing stopping them.
