Well, it's bloody hard to get hold of any at the minute!

I haven't had a choof for a few weeks now, and do you think I can get hold of any!!??

Was looking forward to; a big spliff, supreme pizza and having a movie day in the Daicos Bar with me dog this Sunday while all the girls are out.

Hopefully today will bring some joy 8)

Is this a "yes or no" question?

its the paranoia thing I'm worried about.
I've smoked it a few times, I enjoy the experience but there was one time I smoked it when living in Canada with a friend, we were by the lake and when he left I was completed disorientated. took me 2 hours to walk home which should have taken 10 minutes. All my senses were heightened and I was convinced I was being followed by all types of creatures. i had it under control but when survival mode kicks in people react differently

Do you know anything that might have led to this one experience being so different from the others, or do you believe it's really rather random?

I only had a paranoid reaction once. Couple of bongs laced with hash.

driving home, I was 20kmh under the limit, turned the radio off in the car as it was distracting me, told the missus to STFU till I got home, then I saw one of the street lights ahead om start to blink.

Then the exploded.

That nearly did me in, but I turned to the missus and said "Did I just see......." and she replied, yeah, that street light just exploded.

That settled me enough to get home and that was the last time I had hash.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

my understanding is there are different strains of the drug. 'BC (British Columbia) Bud' is world famous for potency. I found this out afterwards. That being said, if we legalize marijuana, will it include all strains? i think some of these strains can be quite dangerous.
