completely useless thread...

About 16-20 hours. It wasn't a very healthy lifestyle... I had to stop.

 

[Ra1nfade]

Yeah, I could see that as not being very good for your health...

Years ago, when I actually smoked pot, sometimes we would fill the bowl up with weed and shave Vicodin on top of it.

With as many things that I've heard of & done in my time, that's a new one.... Wtf does the vico add to the high?

 

[Lotus_Darkrose]

I'm sure the vic would have different effects on different people, just like some people get sick with vicodin, does nothing, or knocks them out. For me, it added a subtle smooth feeling to the high, as well as numbing my lips a little.

Now, doing coke while high, that made me feel like my heart was going to stop. First, and last time I ever did coke, lol.

 

[Lotus_Darkrose]

We need to change topic though, because this thread isn't supposed to have a specific subject and we are veering towards drugs lol.

 

[danefex]

agreed, and on that note I recommend turning your volume up a little and playing this.....

Lots of people tend to have a lousy experience with coce, myself included. Heart was racing, was super anxious and paranoid, and my face felt like rubber. The experience really didn't appeal to me...

Hrmm... I'm referring to Coca Cola of course:evil:

 

[Lotus_Darkrose]

WTF is Coca Cola?!

Ugh... hate bugs. Can't you train something cool?

Wimp!

Killer giant Galápagos tortoise would be great... higher duty cycle.

tl;dr those giant tortoises are fun.

I was on holiday in South Africa and there was a "Reptiles and Amphibians hut" next to the lodge for a game drive we went on. You would walk into a big room, lined with tanks with loads of snakes, lizards and other fun stuff. Pretty big ones, too. But there was a door at the other end of the room with a notice on it saying "Please do not sit on the giant tortoises" so i thought "wtf" and opened the door and entered a big, apparently empty enclosure. Looked around for a bit, and then i realised. There were giant tortoises in their shells up against the walls.
So i approached one and all of a sudden i could see EXACTLY why you would want to sit on one. They're just the right height to make an awesome stool. So, yeah, i thought it'd be funny to try to lift it and i found they're a lot heavier than they look. And then it didn't appreciate being lifted and walked away.
But all the while i was thinking... we could put a tablecloth on one and then a plate and eat dinner off it. Imagine how much fun that would be! And then you can sit on wheelie-chairs and chase after it when it runs away!

And as for the addiction stuff... I guess there's a certain appeal coherent light holds to those recovering from an addiction. I ate a spoonful of instant coffee powder once, dry. I stayed up all night to finish some coursework and collapsed on the bus the next day. Had to drag my corpse about 500m home from wherever it was i ended up at. Not too bad, except when you can't blink for fear of falling asleep. Can't say that was an addiction though. More like... something i did once that i will never do again.

While typing 500m i stick an extra W on the end. Maybe this is my addiction :scowl:

You need a dynamite crossbow in real life. "That boy blowed up real good, huh huh, huhaha!"

YES! That's EGZAKLY wut I need! Hee Hee!

To this day I still on occasion reach for a cigarette out of habit, although now I smoke only on rare occasions, once every couple of months, or maybe a hookah when going out.

THAT TOO. As I sit at my computer desk, I keep "reaching" at the table next to my office chair... where I usually keep my cigs, lighter, ashtray. It's almost as if my arm has a life of it's own. Dunno 'bout hookahs, though, I don't do that.

I put my ashtrays in the top of a closet. Maybe I can go outside and ... throw them at somebody ... sort of an affirmation.

One good thing... It was really getting to the point that angina was setting in quite often with exertion. Walking to the mailbox (2-4 minute round trip) = mild to moderate angina. Vacuuming the carpet = mild to moderate angina. Walking to the nearby convenience store (8-13 minute round trip) = angina much. My consumption of Nitrostat has increased a bit over the past couple of months. (perhaps that sounds bad ... its not as bad as it sounds, I've lived with this since 1998, believe me I'd know if I was headed back to a "Cath Lab" for more stents, or worse a bypass).

THAT is what is keeping me going ... no more chest pain. >= 3 days off tobacco REALLY DOES make that much of a difference.

Caffiene, though ... I started experimenting with "coffee culture" and gourmet coffee a number of years ago.... different beans/varieties, different brewing methods... I am REALLY INTO high-grade beans from Papau New Guinea, my favorite single varietal. Not giving up my coffee.

speaking of smoking, I want to give my neighborhood something more than just lasers to look at above my house this summer AND have a nice target to shoot my laser guns through.... I'm thinking about making one of these (got to get on the news somehow) once I find out what kind of fuel is used :eg:

 

[Lotus_Darkrose]

That's one hell of a smoke ring

I think I heard "really dirty gas" get said in the video.

Wonder if it's any grosser than two-stroke fuel?
