    I was recently told that snorting bath salts will fuck you up

    But, really, most powders you snort will "fuck you up"

    they're not bath salts, they're "bath salts"

    and by "bath salts" they mean MDPV.

    the only reason smoking every day messes with your head is because you're constantly high

    just chill on it for a bit, stop being high all the time, you go back to normal

    I'm guessing it's only correlative, given the current barriers to effectively studying the mechanisms of use.

    Really really feeling the effects of no weed today.

    I keep ruminating about the most trivial bullshit.

    Like a friend of mine from the UK told me to "Bugger Off" last night in an instant-message and all I said was "Hey what are you doing up at this hour." I guess I didn't expect this person to say something like that and I just can't seem to get over it. How stupid is that?

    That is just one example of the retarded things I keep cycling through my head, and I know that if I could just smoke a joint I could get it out of my head and focus on something that actually matters.

    It's why weed is prescribed for people with the kind of depression that involves obsessive rumination

    I smoke just about every day.. Used to be multiple blunts EVERY SINGLE DAY.

    Now it's a bowl pack that I rarely finish. Sometimes more, like when I'm with friends, but we're usually doing something else, not just sitting around. Like last night we smoked a few bowls and went snowboarding.

    Or last week to an all-you-can eat family style chicken dinner restaurant in Rhode Island. It was amazing.

    The funny thing is, I find that weed doesn't necessarily effect me like most people. I can let the high make me lazy and chill out, or smoke a bowl and easily go and wait on tables at a fairly high scale restaurant without anyone being able to tell.

    I'll tell ya, it's a lot easier to put up with asshole customers who bitch about nothing and get a free meal out of it when you're a bit stoned.

    That being said, I don't smoke on days i have class because I'm not that disillusioned about pot use.


    tl;dr: chronic pot user rationalizes his addiction

    I wouldn't count on nobody being able to tell, but the people who can likely don't care.

    Maybe the college kids who come in but reguardless, I don't get that high in such cases. My eyes aren't swollen or bloodshot, and I don't act like a typical stoner.

    Also, visine does wonders for that "glossy eyed" look you can get.

    EDIT: and as for management, you're absolutely right they don't care. I've smoked with all 4 of my superiors more times than I can count, and one of them is my older sister.

    I always found with cigarettes, you either stop or you don't.

    Cutting back usually leads to either the same or more smoking than before.

    I quit smoking weed a few years back. I just realised that I hadn't had a fun high in ages and why am I spending money on something I don't enjoy?

    Now when people toke up I just politely decline.

    Cigarettes though took me years to quit, but smoking joints probably didn't help much in that endeavour.

    e: Going cold turky was what worked for me. If you have trouble giving up something, try giving up something else first. Every few years, I quit eating meat for six months, or fast, or whatever. Just because, you know. Training that willpower.

    Oh man, you guys want to hear a totally boring and overly typical "high at work" story?

    When I was working at a fetish club years and years ago, there was a slow night where the door guy decided not to show up. I was running back and forth between that and bar backing, was getting annoyed, and during a lull, went to the parking lot and popped a bunch of dxm.

    An hour or two into it (or maybe 15 minutes? woo time dilation), I'm paranoid that my feet are bouncing off of the ground too hard. I'm starting to worry that everyone is looking at me, because I'm at the bottom of the room. So I go to my manager and tell him I think I'm too high to work.
    "What? You're not high."
    "I took like four or five hundred milligrams of dxm."
    "There's no way. You seem totally fine."
    "Uhhh... I can prove it. I still have some in the car."
    "Can I have some?"
    "No."
    "Get back to work."

    1400 is definitely top plateau. That's an area where I'd say just switch to hallucinogens.

    I bought some Mucinex because I had pneumonia and needed to cough all the phlegm out of my lungs and they took my driver's license because it has DXM in it

    now the gubment knows I bought Mucinex :tinfoilhat:

    upshot being I have a bunch of leftover Mucinex tablets. I wonder if there's a way to extract the DXM from all the binder and guafenesin

    Yeah, I've never heard of anyone getting that high above the fourth plateau besides me and my friend. That was high school, though, and since then I've done virtually every hallucinogen available.

    Lately I've found that weed actually causes the effect in me that you are describing.

    That's why I've decided to take a break.

    Talking of snacks in the drug thread reminds me of the marketing pamphlet we had at my old gas station

    it had a picture of a typical stoner/model with his greasy hair, beanie, and scruff

    and it told me to push doritos and mt. dew on them

    and below that was a tip to push jalapeno flavored products on illegal immigrants
