I friend of mine has depression and anxiety and she used to smoke weed almost every day. It really did nothing good for her it just made all the shit she was going through a lot worse, not really physically making it worse but she couldn't deal with any thing and every time she had something bad happen or something to deal with (she went through a bad breakup at the time too) she would ignore it and get high. It was really hard for me to try to help her as she was not prepared to help herself. Anyway she quit for 1.5 years and is back to smoking casually and all is good. Moral of the story I don't think physically the pot is a bad thing when you have something like depression, it's more so what your reasons are or something idk
Yeah I have to be really careful not to make it an escape! That's a whole other issue though

i was gonna make this exact same post. im pretty sure depressed people can very easily go into some sort of weed addiction just cuz it makes you feel p damn good.
thread VERY, VERY carefully, imo.
can't speak for weed but i went through a period of treating depression with alcohol and it certainly provided temporary relief but, in the long term, it ended up delaying my recovery because i was either off my face or physically feeling like shit at all times and i was therefore unable/unmotivated to actually address the issues that were making me depressed. and of course it wasn't long before my disappointment in myself for becoming dependent on alcohol began to contribute to my depression and the end result was me feeling far worse than i did to begin with.
i could well imagine a similar pattern with reckless use of weed but i would actually advocate it if you're doing it with friends as just getting out and putting yourself in a comfortable, social situation is a great way to take your mind off of things and if smoking a bit of weed is the catalyst for that to happen then fair game as it's better than sitting in a room alone with your own thoughts. even when i cut out drinking entirely (sans a few especially bad days) i was always happy to oblige and partake in a few beers when friends invited me out to the pub or on a night out or wherever as i felt that was the best place for me and it's not as though i was physically dependent on alcohol or anything. it was only once or twice a month but those little escapes were huge to me and although alcohol consumption was a central theme in them, it seems ridiculous to compare them to those self destructive nights sat alone in my bedroom with a cheap bottle of vodka because they were worlds apart in terms of benefit
i guess what i'm saying is, depending on how you deploy them, drugs can be your best friend or your worst enemy in this sort of situation and involving a friend in the act really helps to tip the scales in your favor. but i know it sucks sometimes and friends aren't always around so just do whatever you've gotta do to get through the day kittenmay but try to keep at least one eye on the long-term because you're way too bright to mess your life up on a destructive drug habit (i realise that may sound dramatic but when you're depressed and something comes along that seems to take the pain away it can be pretty hard to know when to draw the line, even moreso when it's something like weed that has an undeserved reputation for being safe)

also i tried some salvia that my friend randomly had in his car that he purchased from a porn shop (?) and good lord i tripped the fuck out and it was glorious. i was in the passenger seat and took a huge hit and guppied that shit and everything and then it hit me like a train straight to the face. i was gone for about 5 minutes and then came snapping back into reality which is really nice because an extended trip on salvia would have probably left me mentally handicapped. i can't remember exactly what happened but my friend got me on videotape while i was out and apparently i was seeing the road in front of me extend into infinity and the right side of my face had turned to stone and some other weird shit i don't care to recall.
anyone else used salvia before? it's apparently legal but hard to obtain which is why i took the opporunity to use it at first chance

I'm not sure about america but salvia is as easy to get in canada, like any hedge shop has it.
And yea it rocks shit dog.
also acid question:
I know this is possibly unanswerable, but are acid doses fairly consistent? like is a tab of acid usually five micrograms (or whatever the standard dose is) (micro is a thousand times smaller than milli right?). I know for example that powdered drugs vary in purity and strength, and shit like ecstasy can go from one dose of mdma to all the meth!, but is the same true for acid?
I ask because reading trip reports of people who took two tabs (like the one posted within the last fifty posts, can't remember username, sorry) I feel like I got kinda shafted. Not that acid wasn't amazing and the best drug I've ever done, but people sound like they were blown out of the water and had hardly any coherence, while I was able to operate a golf cart with a reasonable amount of consistency and skill (I am a pretty good driver though so maybe it was that?). Regardless though I also didn't hallucinate all that much, except when I looked at the woodgrain on the ceiling, but that shit is always trippy as balls. There wasn't much colour difference in stuff, or even more poppy colours. The only thing I really noticed was that light seemed brighter, but that would just be because of huge pupils.
also spent a fair amount of time looking in the mirror (I'm a huge narcissus for my eyes, particularly with huge pupils, at risk of sounded like a conceited douche they are really, really pretty) and I never thought like "oh no I'm gonna fall into the mirror and my consciousness will be lost forever!!!" or anything like that. I never even came close to a bad trip either, everything was just great even when watching red state, which is a pretty horrifying movie (by kevin smith)(waco texas meets the west borough baptist church).
sorry for possible incoherentness I'm really drunk
1) unless you test the tab you get, there's a myriad of hallucinogenic chemicals it could be
2) LSD dosage is the most wildly inconsistent dose of any drug, I expect. because it's active in super low doses, a common street dealer doesn't have the means to properly weigh out crystal doses, and even if he did it wouldn't be practical. LSD crystal is therefore instead dissolved into an alcohol or water solution, then dripped onto the tabs you know/love(?). but, even these drops are super inconsistent. I once gave two friends of mine five drops each and took four for myself after. I had a very strong trip with a lot of visuals, while they experienced nothing. shaking the vial before dosing helps, since it spreads out the actual LSD crystals, but it's no guarantee. since most lsd dealers just drop the liquid onto tabs, that means their dosing is about as accurate as mine, which is to say "not at all."
acid tabs are remarkably inconsistent. squares of blotter close together will have super similar doses, but other than that, between dealers just not knowing what they're talking about and degradation over time acid doses are not at all consistent.
a rough guide is 50-100 mics per tab. i've gotten allegedly 160 mics on a tab before. always use a test kit / have a friend dose first so you don't get an RC
or just buy mushrooms, they last a little shorter
vader: when you're done with your vial, a significant amount of LSD will be left on the inside. don't do what one of my internet friends did and fill the bottle, shake, and drink all of the water. that will be Too Much Acid. but do rinse and try and get a few more hits out of it if you are so inclined.
Just wondering, how hard is it to make a gravity bong? My friends and I usually just smoke joints, but those don't really work for me, as I'm not much of a smoker. I'm better with hookahs and the likes, though, so I guess a gravity bong would be handier then. Anyone got a simple step-by-step guide on those?

I want to make a cake and and spike the frosting with shrooms. I have very limited knowledge of them other than that they are hard to obtain (dont grow) in Iowa. Is there a decent alternative? You can't really google shroom dealer.. or can you?
Hows your experience with baking with weed? I have plenty of that fo show.
This is all for a x-mas party. Liven things up.
Salvia tea?

If you have some time, money, and a good venue, you can try growing mushrooms yourself. I don't have any first-hand experience, but can certainly say that the internet's a pretty good resource.
Wouldn't be done on time for Christmas, though.
If that's infeasible, the silk road provides a (possibly pricey) mail-order alternative.
And, if that also won't work, dunno. Ask around or find some jam band shows.
it should be noted that g-bongs are far more efficient and potent than joints
also got this bad boy in the mail today
can't wait for tonight to try it out
i know i'm buying into a culture of sorts should i choose to name it (and that sorta doesn't appeal to me) but god damn it i am in love and naming it is such an insignificant matter as long as you ain't a douche about it
'NO HEY ITS NOT A BONG ITS CALLED XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx'
