Neat. But what do YOU believe? I get really sick of people's arguments for or against drug use- or hell, for or against ANYTHING- based on quotes from famous people and assumptions about what they believed.

I'm not trying to be rude or shut you down, I'm simply legitimately interested in a conversation that is devoid of namedropping.

I'm not the one that brought up Frank Zappa nor did I say anywhere in that post that I agreed or disagreed with him.

'Cause it's a trip :lol:

Yeah, I've had it, but my experience and the experience of my friends wasn't that of a "fun trip" or even semi interesting.

Also, re-reading the OP, I notice you mentioned salvia...which would be nigh impossible to play video games on. Salvia takes you so far out of your head that it's kinda pointless to even try to interact with something like a game. Never done opium, but I have taken fairly strong other opiates a few times, they make gaming kind of groovy if you find yourself in the mood for it but I basically wind up in a fairly similar head-space as trying to game on mushrooms.
It really depends on the potency of the salvia. I tried to stick with 20x or less, because I felt that the milder effects were enough to make me feel euphoric yet not be completely out of my head. So as long as I could enjoy the drug and still feel in control, then I was good. *This was back in 2005-2006 btw. I haven't touched any drugs or even cigarettes since then*

salvia extract is not fun at all in my opinion, the first two times i did it it was kinda cool then the last time i did it i just felt like i was totally retarded for about 5 minutes.

the leaf on the other hand is pretty good for a mild buzz.


Anyone on here heard of bath salts? Its a fairly new drug and I dont think it has spread everywhere yet, but I live near Bangor Maine and it has become a serious issue in that city... This stuff makes you go fucking CRAZY. One guy ripped his junk off because he thought there were spiders inside it...one "serving" can screw you up for days and it makes people super strong and crazy. It is simelar to acid but almost always causes paranoia and makes people super strong...the hopsitals around here wont take people who are OD'ing unless they are fully restrained and accompanied by cops.

One of the worst things about the drug is it is insanely cheap so people have been cutting cocaine with it. Not that cocaine is any better of a drug, but the effects are pretty different, if you started tripping your nuts off and you werent expecting it youd probably freak out pretty quick.

Yes, a friend of mine tried that stuff and... yeah. It made him completely insane. I wasn't around him at all during the time he was on it, but supposedly he jumped out of a moving vehicle while being brought to the hospital and was chased down by the police in the middle of the road. Here's a YouTube audio recording of him on a TeamSpeak server freaking out while on the drug:

Only weed for me. Other things just aren't worth it.

Granted, I am the one that put the Zappa quote out there, but that's because I completely agree with it.

And, My god man. It's like you stole that from the inside of my head! .... wait :shock:

Are you inside my head?
