I dropped my bong stem and broke it. Started using a Chinese one hitter I bought at a flea market. I think it is clogged now so I am using a handmade novelty Bart Simpson one hitter I was given sometime in the past I don't remember. Can't walk into a head shop and get any new hardware since I am now a respected pillar of the community. It really sucks I can't drug myself up and play videogames alone anymore.

its part of the persona he's cultivated here over the last few years.  Angry old man yelling at clouds.

You should mail him your Bart Simpson one hitter.

So my mom (lol!) Got 14 joints for $60. They were half off so 14 for $120 is regular. No idea about how much unrolled go for. She is going to get me a caregiver card so I can pick up "for her" She has no plans to smoke. I am only going to smoke over the summer anyway since I work with children.

Medical marijuana is great but the system is still screwed up. I can have a drug dealer deliver pot to me for the same price as I would have to pay to drive 4 towns over to get it legally.

people who drink and do drugs don't 'have to get fucked' to enjoy life, though. that's the sort of absolute false dichotomy that only someone who DID have a problem with drink/drugs would make.

any person who drank or used drugs for a prolonged period in their life has problems with that stuff, certainly anyone who says something like finray there - any medical specialist in the field will tell you that. some people are more resistant than other, but the fact of the matter - everybody succumbs at some point. also, nobody can really tell were their own point of no return is until they cross the line. so, yes, of course i have problems. i'm sure i'm at least an alcoholic and tobacco addict, the main difference between myself and people who keep drinking and smoking is i don't drink or smoke, haven't been for a very long time, and my life is definitely better for it.

good for you. but i don’t agree that ‘everyone crosses a line’ and falls into abuse or addiction. lots of successful people take drugs a few times in their lives, at a party or occasion, without spiralling into some life-affecting misery. for many it’s just a youthful rite of passage and a phase. it’s only ever addicts who talk in such a dramatic way about drug use. the whole 12-steps spiel.

drug rehabs are full of people who thought exactly like that^. the problem, as i said, is that nobody knows where their personal point of no return is, and every time one takes another dose one gets closer to it. the only people who can say for sure that they won't cross the line are those who never touch the stuff.

Physical addiction is relatively easy to break. The hard part is when people get caught up in the culture and it becomes part of their identity. An addict can kick the habit, move across the world and still relapse simply because everywhere they go they'll be attracted to and by people with similar life experiences and stories. To truly beat it, they really have to assume a different identity, even though it feels fake, until they truly become it.

You're all right. I 100% have other issues which exacerbate my drug use, but I'm working on it. On the flip side, I've been on benders with high functioning members of society who just drop it again right after. Jay - I wouldnt say the physical addiction is easy to break, relatively yes, but depends what you're comparing it to, but you're right about the culture/identity part. Kicking the hard stuff became a lot easier when I stopped hanging out with the crowd I was using with.

Had a two week holiday on work and smoked up a lot of it, got a couple joints left then I'm going on a break again. I feel like my mentality to the green stuff has changed with January's t break though.

yes and the street is full of many more people who thought like that^ and never ended up in treatment. that’s entirely my point. i don’t doubt there are people with deep genetic predispositions to addiction or poor impulse control, or people who through xyz circumstances spiral into drug abuse. but the vast majority of people i’ve been around who use drugs go to work on a monday and lead regular lives – successful lives, even, by all ordinary estimation.

what i’m refuting is your claim ‘if you need drugs to have fun ...’. most people who do drugs don’t ‘need’ them at all. they are an occasional supplement and just something they do, among other social activities. it’s not some absolute and problematic issue.

I think I'm addicted to coke. The soft drink. I really do like it but I've stopped enjoying the taste recently but still feel like I should have one. I think I'm after something cold more than coke though as a cold glass of water from the fridge is just as good.

I only do coke when I'm with friends, doing it by yourself is weird.
