But the full on "this shit cures all" drives me nuts. My CIP loved one spent years telling me he was "healing" himself by eating the massive doses. By the (hopefully) end of it he was telling me Donald Trump was calling him and appointing him the next official rapper for the United States. Fun times!

One of my best friends runs a lab in Colorado, and he says he dreads any industry get-togethers, because everyone is like that. It's the end all be all miracle cure to everything. He also gets a ton of unsolicited resumes from assorted idiots who want to work in the industry without having a clue what his little corner of the industry does.

Lately, he's been working on pointing out the danger of some drug tests and getting to the bottom of what's causing people to get sick from vaping. (He's particularly proud of the fact that the New York Times petty much confirms through both picture and paragraph that he's a mad scientist.)

Weed smokers and coke nuts are totally different personalities, only mixing when the latter need to come down the next morning. Coke people and weed people are fundamentally different people. Often, booze and weed people are fundamentally different.

Weed can lead one to psychedelics because they’re similar introspective highs. But psychedelics are generally harmless (maybe you get a bad trip, but no one dies of mushrooms or acid).

Psychedelics can lead to MDMA use, which can lead to coke use, but this is a really tenuous link.

As for weed leading to heroin, if you’re contemplating heroin you’ve got issues. You’re filling a hole that recreational users don’t understand. Same with meth. If you want a lousy speed buzz that keeps you up forever without the euphoria of coke, you’re fucked on some basic level.

The only true gateway drugs are booze (you might try anything on enough of it) and opioids, which will physically hook you quickly.

Biden needs to drop the phrase “gateway” altogether. He should confer with Hunter. Hunter knows it’s bullshit.

Someone I love kicked a very nasty coke addiction by spending a two weeks in a room with as much weed as he could smoke. Never touched coke again.

Once again you are wrong. Edibles are fantastic, you just have to buy a product that is consistently in the ballpark of the number of milligrams you want to ingest. I use them all the time. If you're taking 20 milligrams, you're going to have a bad time. Five milligrams is perfect. If it's a long night, have another one, 3 hours in.

I suspect ideal dosage depends on a lot of factors, and is probably a personal issue to be worked out between one and one's edibles (and there may be people for whom 20 milligrams is a "just getting warmed up for the big Melt Banana show" type of situation). But yes, you are are correct. And Sebastian is wrong once again.

That is a fair point. The other day some dude told me he takes a 100 milligrams when he does edibles. That blows my mind. But, yeah. I imagine Snoop Dog would probably run through my gummies like Skittles.

You are smoking crack rock. And apparently in doses that are way too high.

Let me enjoy it, please. It's a lovely vision. So much better than the circus.

But Trump could be realizing there's no "off switch" for this and resign for "health reasons," BEFORE losing an election, or impeachment. The question becomes can Pence ram a new VP through (what, the Senate, right?) before his shit starts to burn.

I'm sorry, but what are you talking about? The House will pass articles of impeachment and the Senate will gesture towards a trial and vote it down. I will be shocked if more than 4 Republicans break ranks and vote in favor of removal.

Trump isn't going anywhere. Despite all the booing, he actually believes that people love him. He is going to burn the Republican Party to the fucking ground and he will have to be dragged from office after he loses in 2020.

I've been saying "resign for health reasons" for years. I figured the trip to Walter Reed was a warm up for this.

You might be underestimating the man’s inability to have a public loss. Or I hope so. But the bigger question is whether slave’s opinion has now changed.

Gotta be really disciplined with that stuff. Purity’s also huge. Most is cut with shit that’ll keep you up after the high’s done.

I couldn’t imagine being addicted. That’s got to be insane.

Really dumb drug... but that first 40 min is... well, divine?
