The Recreational Drug Thread

Haha, yes! Danny the Drug Dealer was probably my favorite character from that film. Well, besides Withnail.

Caffeine. The only one I am willing to do.

Smoked weed like an American, no tobacco and a blunt. It was different but I definitely think I prefer the old Jeffrey.

I don't understand how you Europeans do it. Inhaling tobacco smoke and holding it in is so foul. If I tried to do it I'd probably boak. Between smelling like ass and all that tar...nope, it's not even remotely appealing for me.

As an American, I should say, weed is one of the few things I feel we do better than most. After smoking "like an American" for as long as I have, I can't imagine smoking spliffs habitually. I mean, why use a condom when the dick works just fine as it already is?

I thought the American way is through a 3-Foot Percolated bong with Ice, and you just stick a joint with a sprinkle of salvia in the bowl piece.

Damn dude, don't knock spliffs. That shit'll fuck you up real good.

I always imagined it to be an economical thing rather than a nicotine buzz thing. I like the nicotine buzz, but it's not worth the ill effects for me.

Another issue is a lot of Americans smoke weed inside rather than outside their domiciles (for privacy & security reasons), especially city dwellers. You can't really enjoy that opportunity with spliffs -- unless you don't mind smelling like you live in a cigarette box.

On another note, has anybody tried mixing weed with shisha? Hands down one of the foulest things I've ever ingested.

[Phantom Limb]

^True dat, but I still live with my parents and there is absolutely no way I could ever blaze inside my house.

I've heard that putting weed in your hookah doesn't work because the shisha burns too slow and you don't end up getting high. But it tasted bad? I'd think shisha would be pretty tasty with weed.

[lucifer_sam]

No, actually, the complete opposite happened.

When you think about it, weed doesn't take much to burn, just a tiny flame that's hotter than the flash point of the bud. So what happened was the coal gradually heated the shisha until it was hot enough to ignite the weed, but once the weed started, it cherried through the entire charge of weed like a rabid animal & charred the rest of the shisha. So, basically, we pulled and pulled and pulled on the hookah until the weed spontaneously combusted. And then there was nothing left but nasty burnt shisha.

Funny thing is, we did it (like you imagined) trying to improve the weed's taste and it ended up fouler than anything we could have expected.

EDIT: The first time I ever got stoned was through a hookah, but we didn't use shisha or a coal, so it was basically a glorified bong. That, on the other hand, was awesome.

I don't understand the American tradition of smoking weed unmixed. It's such a terrible waste of the product in my mind.
