While currently under the influence of THC, the main psychoactive substance in Marijuana (weed, piff, ganja, chronic, cannabis, hash), I've decided to take time out of my busy schedule and do a little project / treat for all of you active Mechscape World forum posters. I'll come clean, as most of you know by now, I smoke the natural herb Marijuana until I reach the enlightened state of inebriation. I wouldn't label myself as a pothead...ok yes I do, considering I've smoked everyday for the past 2 weeks, which can be contributed to creation of this epic topic in essence.

Before I start my chronicles, I'd like to take the time to give you guys a little guide to the Marijuana Terminology, so can all get a better understanding of the drug.

Terminology:
Joint - A joint is weed (or hash) rolled up in cigarette paper (Zig-Zags and Jobs are some of the popular brands of cigarette rolling paper although there are tons of different kinds).
See also:
spliff - a joint rolled with weed and tobacco
roach - a roach is a small piece of paper (usually made out of a somewhat thicker card) inserted into the mouth of the joint. It helps shape the joint and serves as a stable mouth piece.

Blunt - My favorite way of smoking fyi and by far the most common around constant smokers in my area. A blunt is weed (and/or hash) rolled in cigar paper. Although there are such things as blunt rolling papers, the typical method is to buy cheap commercial cigar, aka a blunt (Phillie Blunt, although Dutch Masters are the best) and slice it open (or break open the cigar - I'll get into detail about this more later on) to remove the tobacco. The cigar wrapper is then re-rolled with weed or hash or some combination in between.

Bowl - There isn't much to explain here. A pipe is usually called a "bowl" because of the bowl shape at the end of the pipe where you stick the weed. I say dry pipe because no water is put in them for use. Pipes can be made of all sorts of materials, the safest and preferred material is glass.

Bong - No explaination really necessary. This functions fully when water or some other liquid is added to a chamber. Smoke is filtered through that area on its way to your mouth. This brings the temperature of the smoke down and also filters some of the unwanted chemcicals from your cannabis. Cold water filtration will yield some of the smoothest hits ever. Water is by far the most popular choice for filling the chambers of wet pipes, however some people use other things. Pretty much any liquid will work, don't do anything stupid like put flammable liquids in though. Use common sense.

Now let's get into the qualities of weed because this is essentially what's most looked at clearly, not the method.

Qualities:
Although slang tends to vary from state to state and country to country, some words are fairly universal in describing the quality of weed.

Schwag: (pronounced Shwag) This is the worst grade of weed. Brown, seedy, and usually dry. It is very cheap, but you get what you pay for in this case.

Mids: This is the middle of the road weed. You'll start seeing some nug (nuggets of weed) forms and possibly some red hairs and crystals. This weed will be of a lighter color and much prettier than schwag. Few seeds usually in mids.

Dank: This is sizeable nugs of weed usually. Plenty of red hairs, a nice green color and no seeds are attributes of dank. Most "dank" that I've encountered seems to be beasters. Beaster is the low end of the high-class dank weed. It
is commercially grown, seems mostly indica. Definitely not a designer specific strain.

Headies: What is called "heads" or "headies" is usually a very high quality weed - usually one of the more exotic strains. It is also the most expensive. But besides being expensive and exotic, you know that what you're getting is going to get you baked (high) out of your mind. This is the quality that I mostly smoke and overall enjoy smoking the most, especially on a Friday or Saturday night when I'm with a crowd, as well as social events.


Ok, well I've covered pretty much everything while still staying pretty high, let's get into the Chronic..les..shall we?

1. November 7th, 2009 - Today was an ok day to start the Chronicles. I met up with a good amount of my friends as we went out for dinner. Most of them were already high / drunk and I was looking to have a good night myself. I all called up all of the single ladies (4), we drove to meet a dealer to pick up our weed and it all went straight up from there. We drove in 2 separate cars, I myself was in the backseat with 2 ladies (it gets better), talking to one of them with whom I was in a feud with earlier. We made up and cleared any animosity between us that we had. Anyway, we drove back to a park which was in our area and smoked out of a bowl. Only two of the ladies were looking to smoke considering we used them for the money. So we were off to the races with this weed, which was Schwag by the way (one good way to tell is of course the texture, which was extremely dry). After smoking we decide to park on the grass somewhere secluded with the ladies. We flipped on the radio and some good songs were playing, suddenly one of the girls takes out two water bottles filled with alcohol. They pour down the drinks and starting getting tipsy, so my boy and I winked at each other and started getting frisky. These girls were all over us. I happened to be stuck with this petite yet beautiful red head who does gymnastics and has a great body and is overall very exotic. We hooked up with these girls while turning up the volume and having a good night. We eventually drove them home later in the evening, were blown away at how awesome that just was, and proceeded to drive to Taco Bell for some chicken quesadillas. We sparked some cigarettes after our meal, recollected on the night that was passing us by and eventually went our separate ways.
   
2. November 9th, 2009 - Today wasn't as eventful as my first entry. I had 3 classes drop in a row for me, giving me a perfect 2 hour window to smoke the herb. I went with 2 other friends to our favorite smoking spot (secret) when we hopped into my car. We arrived there, smoked some of my weed which I still have left, about half a dime bag. We didn't want to get baked, so we decided to have a simple toking session which gave us a relaxing yet chill high. We drove to McDonalds to get some things off the breakfast menu and then headed back to school to eat our meal. We arrived in the cafeteria and downed the food, realizing that we should have probably bought more. I said something stupid about I girl I happened to get with and my friends used it against me to joke around and I believe I got some BS headed my way tomorrow for school. I tried to finish some homework but it was hard to concentrate with all of our friends crowding us and eventually smelling the reefer off of our clothing. Everything went smoothly from there, I went to my class when it came time and watched a Western Movie for a film class I'm taking.

I aint gonna be chastising you and telling you to stop smoking weed, cause that'd be hypocritical, i enjoy a good blunt now and then and i used to be a heavy pot smoker.

But the mistake you're making here, is your basing you're whole life around the drug, it seems to me you're going out for the sole purpose of lighting up to have fun, when it'd make much more sense to be going out to have fun, and occasionally that'd mean smoking some dank bud but not necessarily every night and all the time.

Believe me it does get proper boring fast, specially seeing as the end of result of getting high is pretty much always the same.

Try and chill down abit on the usage, get some goals in life, doesn't have to be like career goals or whatever, could be trying to get some proper fit girl, or make something whatever, and just use weed to break up the stress in whatever goal your trying to do, otherwise you're gonna ruin THC for yourself :(

This answers the Marijuana or Ganga in your avatar and signature.
I will keep reading your adventures.

Understandable, but I'm not looking to smoke everyday, because I know that I won't have the chance to. For example today, I'm working for about 6 years so therefore smoking won't be an option. I got everything I need in life right now, to a certain extent. I'm living my life to the point where I can enjoy it even more with THC in my system.

Ok, I guess, but I can read 1,425 reports on user's experiences from the drug here.

Is a side affect of using weed a high leveled vocabulary? It seems for being pretty high most of the time you have a pretty good usage of words, which is contary to common belief on the subject. I don't smoke weed, or anything else, and I only drink a little (I don't get drunk)at social events, so I don't have a clue what it's like to be high...well, off anything other than vicaden and heavy pain killers, and I only had those because I was in a lot of pain after having surgery. Honestly, I won't ever do drugs, but I don't think that they should be illegal, this is a free country and people should have the choice to do whatever they want to themselves.

Well it's good that you say that Charger because most people are quick to jump the gun and oppose Marijuana anyway that they can. The reasoning behind this is unclear to me because in the early 1900's Marijuana was legal in the United States. It was nowhere near as readily available as it is today, but the reason behind its banning is pretty ridiculous. Here's some education for you all who don't know much, or anything for that matter behind the banning of Marijuana. In the early 1900's, America was hit with a huge immigration problem which can be contributed mostly to those south of our borders, Mexicans. Since Marijuana was legal in both countries, the Mexican immigrants brought it upon themselves to bring over Marijuana from Mexico, which was perfectly legal. American politicians, those who didn't want immigration, agreed to make Marijuana illegal in the US to hopefully prevent the migration of Mexicans to the US. That my friends is the story of the banning of Marijuana in the United States, in a nut shell.

Cool story bro

Did you know that weed is barely comparable to what it was 100 years ago? THC content in it nowadays is a huge health hazard.

I don't really care what you do have fun but don't bs yourself into thinking there will be no mental/physical health consequences.

Thread is boring until you start dropping acid.

The main health concern is a risk in testicular cancer and a link with schizophrenia and a few other mental illnesses, the THC isn't a huge health hazard, its just a health hazard still not nearly as bad as alcohol and cigarettes, but comparably equal to many other activities most people do in normal life, such as going to the gym, playing sports and arguably using any microwave emitting device etc.

There's almost nothing someone can do in life without arousing health hazards, but more of the hazards have been highlighted on certain activities such as marijuana intake and other drugs, (but in most other cases, for good reason).

The only aspect i disagree with is the psychological dependence some people develop with the drug in order to 'fulfill' their lives.

But Neven sounds reasonable enough. Good luck with the adventures braah (Y)

And pipin is right.

And remember, at least where I come from they lace weed with all sorts of crap like crystal meth and fiber glass to make it heavier (sold by weight, more $$)

Make sure you trust your supplier and remember that acting like a "pretty cool guy" type of deal is a sales pitch too.



Acid? ACID?

Live fast die young right?

My friend recently got wrecked by a train while on acid/speed not sure wich one, or are they the same thing I don't really know.


Just noticed this. Have fun being depressed.

Weeeeeeed. Ah...the drug that turns you into a vegetable with no purpose in life! Fun times. Might as well try masturbating whilst in presence.

I was tempted to point out how this post makes no sense whatsoever, but then I understood the comedic genius behind it. You sir, are a true master of comedy. A real Ben Stiller.

And what is the comedic genius behind it?

That it makes no sense whatsoever

I used to think so badly of getting high and all it's "health concerns" but getting high once has taught me that It was all just a big joke. Everyone makes such a big deal about it. I used to think that when you get high you completely lose your mind and just want to do eat and lay around.

When I get high I get super active and want to do everything that I can while high. I don't know how that differs from everyone else though.

The majority of people don't lace there weed.

It's really made me a lot happier person too.


Ps. I'm not a pot head.

Lol'd
Anyways nice thread I'll be sure to read up more on this.
Weed is... a natural herb and people should be allowed to use it.
Btw I've smoked but I'm not a pothead

I've tried Marijuana a few times. It was kind of fun but not worth getting jailed over.

I also robotripped once. I will never do it again as it's physically hard on the body but it was awesome. Nothing can compare to thinking you're a super saiyan and Jesus both at the same time. I especially loved when my skin started flaking/blistering off. It was definitely a once in a lifetime event.

Could really care less if it's legal or not. I'd never do it regardless, I'd rather not waste the money for a temporary ecstatic feeling.

Like many have said before, as long as it's the natural herb, I don't think there's really anything wrong with it. Well, Neven, hope you have fun with your weed adventures. I'll be reading your log whenever I can, seems... interesting.

See I don't get drugs. I've had delusions my whole life and I've been trying to bury them.

Why do people WANT them??? I guess you guys are prepared for it but still! God!

It's just a huge slap in the face to me.

P.S. I'm sane. Obviously. 1/10 people have delusional problems wether they notice it or not.

People don't just want drugs unless they've tried them of course. Weed is not addictive, like crack or heroin. However the high is great and it puts me at ease and all of my troubles go away for about 2 hours. Gumbo, smoking weed everyday for the past 2 weeks doesn't make you depressed. Personally you're opinions are biased because you've never smoked weed have you? Therefore your input is barely valued, no offense.

@Pipin - I have friends that do Acid and they always want me to trip with them, I'm looking forward to doing that with them sometime soon. I'll let you know how it goes :)

I liked the relaxing feel. Unlike alcohol it doesn't seem to cloud your mind as much.

If I were ever to do marijuana again I'd definitely eat it instead of smoking it. I am not a fan of destroying my lungs. Of course, it cost more to get high that way but it's well worth it.

I look forward to seeing how your acid trip goes. I did consider trying Ectacy once, though it sounded unsafe because of the extra chemicals that can get added to it.

People who are extremely against drugs, specifically marijuana have been propagandized into thinking it is somehow different than alcohol or cigarettes. I blame our school systems, they never teach the other side. It's similar to the abstinence versus protection debate. If they taught moderation, I think things would be a lot better.

Are we fucking twin brothers?

Edit:
Doing acid is a terrible decision. Just putting it out there.

Acid drips down to your spine which can cause chronic back problems in the long run.

I've tried Ecstasy once before at a rave that my Uncle was DJ-ing at, it was...to put it simply, amazing.

Update:
I'm working on adding another entry for today. Hope you enjoy it. :)

* Added a new entry. Enjoy.

drugs are for faggot losers

Doing weed for more than 2 weeks straight then STOPPING makes you depressed. The body can't handle such an influx of emotion then all the sudden stop.

Actually, I think you are quite new to the world of drugs, and haven't suffered any consequences yet. I know my drugs, I come from an environment where a majority of people do drugs. I know how they benefit and corrupt people.

There are other ways to gain new experiences in life, I think you do it because your life is boring otherwise. Try learning a sport or an art or being able to have fun without drugs. You can't just do drugs as escapism. Sounds like what you are doing.

And insanity, very quickly. Don't do acid.

Weed is up there on my list of things to try. Unfortunately you need good connections to get some. Me, being practically friendless, has no recourse.

I used to do a lot of OTC benadryl though. Wacky. I don't suggest it unless you're ready to waste 3 days of your life sleeping and having wild dreams.
And I did the whole nutmeg and valium thing. That was a pretty good high, but I still have flashbacks about the taste.

Good luck, Neven. If we see a sharp decline in your literary skills we will come pull the blunt from your fingers.

I honestly don't agree with this, but it is your life to live (however shortly you want), not mine.

So, is this stuff actually legal where you live? Wow. Didn't know that.

Io mangio la ganga.

What adventures do you plan on having? Anything besides vegging on the couch, watching comedies and wanting stuff to eat? I don't see the excitement.

Mix it with a good amount of alcohol and some X. He'll be waking up on the couch of some 300lb German guy's apartment, wondering why his ass is sore.

My life is actually not boring at all, it's quite the opposite. Smoking weed just enhances the fun. I just got done with my Football season, about to hopefully start my Basketball season and I might be doing Track and Field in the Spring. I've found things in my life to take up the majority of my time besides drugs




Actually, weed in my opinion enhances MY literary skills ha. I've written some spectacular things while high and I plan on writing more.




Oh heavens no, that would be a waste of time and weed. I plan on making my nights a lot more wilder as the days progress. Tomorrow should be an awesome night, just wait and see. :)

Do they all somehow end up like this?

I wouldn't smoke weed if someone paid me a thousand dollars, because I want my "soldiers to march" whenever I'm with my lovely wife in the next 10 years.

LOL.

Okay, that would be worth a read.

Or this could happen.

SgtGumbo, you're thinking of LSD when you post that swirly, multi-colored Disney picture. LSD was the inspirational source of all those iconic hippie arts. As for the Beatles... Uh... Well, they're the Beatles.

I've had several good friends that were and are "potheads", and I'm pretty torn on the issue...I've never done it and likely never will, so all I know about it is through them. I mean, I definitely support legalization of it. My one friend insists that he can only compose music when he's high, and I believe it...the other is pretty much like you. Go out, have fun, maybe get some. My issue is with the morality of it, I guess. Even if it's not addictive, and is so much better than other stuff, it's still not good for you. All of my pothead friends will argue that

Good point.
There's some bad and good things about it, but for me It gave me a lot of happiness and made me feel a lot better about myself.
Never do It if someone tells you to. I hate when people put peer pressure on other people when it's obvious they don't want to do it.


Also, I think I remember reading something about The Beatles taking an assortment of drugs, just not marijuana. I'm guessing that contributed to a lot of there work though, judging by there music.

In Pictures

Weed-


Alcohol -


LSD/Acid -


Valium -


Benadryl -

Crap crap crap. CRAP!

Man, I greatly dislike the alcohol one.

I was a DPH (commonly known as benadryl) junkie at one point. Fun times.

The weird thing is PC, that I feel closer to you on a mutual level because of the drug use. I can feel for you because I've done other drugs including pills but I tend to do natural drugs like reefer...and that's about it.

No, only people who give in to the mainstream media and crap like YouTube do boring shit like that. Every time I smoke weed: I end up cleaning my house, do maintenance on my mountain bike, helping around the house and garden, create a new song, write a story, grammar INCREASES, social conversations become BETTER, and overall, I'm 3x more active than I usually would be, and NOT fucking lazy.



Well, unlike you, at least I have respect for other people's beliefs in medicine. Last time I checked, the drugs that doctors hand out left and right don't grow from the Earth.

Oh and one more thing:
Who or what gave you the idea that weed is for faggots/losers?

Yeah, I desperately want to try weed but it's a connections and money issue. I have a good month or two supply of DPH but as a general rule if it effects my work then I can't do it. DPH = 2 to 3 days to get back to feeling normal. It lingers. Therefore I absolutely do not do it anymore.

I am eighteen next Summer. We gotta have a MSW get-together!

Dizzy tells the Truth.

Let's invite some Jagex. We'll have a hell of a rockin' part------------- Actually I'm as dull as a box of biodegradable foam packing peanuts. My type of party is sitting around drinking coffee and listening to ambient music while discussing the latest technologies.
