I really hope they legalize it in NY. I want to try out all this new shit haha.

Apparently the progression of MJ paraphernalia has accelerated quite a bit since I last did it in high school.

I'd do it if there were simple (non-shady) ways of getting it, but anyone I know that sells is someone I don't really want to buy from.

It's crazy that I don't really know anyone that smokes anymore, I'm only in my mid 30's...

You do know someone, but it's still "taboo" and most people your age don't tell/show that they use.

Injecting a gateway drug like MJ might prove to lower the amount of injection point scars and destroyed veins that plague heroine, meth, and cocaine users. So this may prove beneficial for the drug community as a whole with greater needle skill.

Huh? there is simply no need to "inject" pure THC, pot strains have become so strong that just 3-4 swats from a bong will get one quite toasted indeed. I can't partake anymore due to the "drug free workplace" laws that enable employers to test pre-employment or on a "random" basis, some states have laws against random testing and only allow testing post-accident or reasonable suspicion,(sudden drop in job performance) ect. Here in FL they can test anyone, anytime they damm well choose..

i am so sick of this. there used to be a time in our history where medical information was personal, and the only time you would get tested is if you caused an injury accident that couldnt be explained by normal behavior.

i refuse to piss in a cup to go to work. i am not an indentured servant. if it means i have to live homeless, so be it. thankfully im not there yet, but i swear to god i will happily live in a cardboard box and die an early age so long as i can keep my personal body personal.

That would scare the crap out of me. I'll stick to supplying friends in person (yay, Michigan too).

nobody is going to inject it...

try and see for yourself, why not.

you CAN, make a very pure concentrate (butane extraction or better) suspend it in an alcohol, and technically have a injectable solution.. you would run into problems like... histamine reaction, also, i have a feeling it wouldn't be the "funnest" trip in the world... you ever ate too many brownies?


some extreme people might give it a few tries, but it's definitely more fun to roll it up and smoke the stuff/perfect onset time/etc..

the republican party should rally behind legalization stating how the government should stay out of peoples business. it would convert millions of liberal voters into republican supporters.

Don't you know those liberals are what's wrong with Murrica? They're the ENEMY. Back in my day we stoned stoners and we liked it!

Cracks aside, Republicans today only want people to stay out of business' business, not people's business. If they were libertarian through and through they wouldn't foam at the mouth every time abortion, contraception, bioresearch, or legalization came up, but they do.

never going to happen. the war on drugs was (officially) launched by nixon, and is a pillar of republican values. the industries facilitating the war on drugs don't want that revenue cut, the alcohol industry doesn't want competition, and the tobacco industry doesn't want to throw their eggs into a radically different basket (some kind of alcohol/tobacco hybrid legislation).

i beg to differ about the tobacco companies. i think they are foaming at the mouth for legalization of pot. they wouldnt be buying land in northern cali if they didnt think they will get to grow there in the somewhat near future.

and i know everyone says "they wont make money because everyone will grow it". which is entirely false. most people will buy it just like they do tobacco or beer. even if you do grow it, it likely wont be as good as what mass manufacturing will be able to produce. unless youre good of course!

I just read about it, it looks like the meth of marijuana haha. I don't know if I'd want to get into anything that processed (especially with butane extraction and inexperienced people creating it).

That's the irony of the Drug War.. it actually leads society to 'maximize' their marijuana.

You can use wax or oil, sometimes it can be like cheese almost, they are all concentrates and if your state has dispensaries they are likely professionally done and very clean high % THC/CBD

Funny you posted this, I was just thinking that. Although I guess alcohol has moonshiners, so you will always have people that push the limits of everything.

That's cool, I didn't realize dispensaries were making so many changes to mj (other than putting it in food).

it most certainly seems that way when you're smoking it, but once you go hash you never go back.

You cannot inject alcohol. I mean those of us that don't like the feeling of our arms burning off will not like injecting alcohol. Ask an intravenous drug user that has used alcohol to clean his syringe and then did a poor job of rinsing out the alcohol, what it is like.

I agree! I will never take another piss test. You have to draw the line somewhere.

I don't smoke and I can't stand the smoking aspect of MJ.

The lungs feel like crap. Your mouth feels like crap. Your head feels like crap.

That's one of the primary reason I've only done it 3-4 times in my life.
