Protecting your virginity



I tried it a couple of times while hanging out with a shithead junkie, before everyone knew how bad it was. Never again.

Highlights:

1) May cause dizziness/headaches
2) It can get you higher than real weed, which is not necessarily a good thing
3)It almost always leaves a bad taste in your mouth, like a cheap cigarette
4) It can make you hallucinate, I saw dancing satyrs playing flutes in a cheerful forest once
5)If you get a bad batch you could either die or feel like you're gonna die

It is bad for you, because chemicals. Weed on the other hand is a plant which is natural and healthy so you should take it instead of all the chemicals the doctor sends you to the pharma$$$y for

It really is, the only telltale sign is the weird cheap cigarettey smell. If they are already stoned or drunk they probably wouldn't notice unless it's too late

It might also literally kill them lol

it's artificial weed, it doesn't grow in the ground that's why I like to call it ink instead, because mine comes from my 3d printer, 3d printers don't use ink but I thought it had a cool retro vide to it "im gonna go smoke some ink man" dam thats so catchy

One time after a big party during which I drank ~12 shots (no mixer) and ate at least 2 big weed brownies (didn't realize how strong they were) and vomited twice, I woke up in the house the party took place in, and proceeded to try to get through the worst hangover of my life.

I don't remember much other than immediately returning anything I drank or ate that morning, and that someone offered me some synthetic THC (the number 138 or 127 rings a bell) which was a white powder on a pipe screen that you had to hole the flame near but not touching in order to burn right. From there I was floored and just felt bad like the pringles I had eaten were stuck in my throat, and basically couldn't get up off the floor for quite a while.

I've never had it while not suffering from dehydration and alcohol poisoning so it's probably an okay substitute for real weed on a full stomach. But the only reason you would ever need it is if weed is illegal in your state in which case you should just move anyway.

Don't mistake the potpourri K2 random-herbs-sprayed-with-drugs with synthetic weed, they're both different.

Synthetic weed is basically chemically-created "pure" THC, it's usually in powder form, whereas the other stuff is smokeable herbs that will get you high for all the wrong reasons.

Where I come from it was called spice, but "oregano with glass shards" is more accurate. More things I'm remembering:

- Either you can get legit addicted to spice or the guy I knew was the saddest person on the planet, because he would run through that poo poo like crazy and went nuts if he couldn't have any. He was basically fake weed high 24/7
- If you're already an artist it can expand your mind, maaaan. I got really high and did a loving amazing drawing with pen once, perfect perspective and everything without any mistakes. I usually can't draw with a pen

I have had a couple of genuinely pleasant highs off of it, but it's not worth the grab bag of horrors that each batch is because the chemicals are so unevenly sprayed and the formula keeps changing to keep it "legal". Just use regular weed or booze like a normal person

Its bad, just get real weed. Actually, don't get any weed at all, get real drugs.

I had this synth weed that came as a little chocolate heart once. It started out awesome but then I just kept getting more and more high until eventually I was unable to move my body at all and was having a pretty scary time. Then my girlfriend decided she wanted to have sex but I was like groaning 'no...please help', unable to move and feeling like I was going to die. She did it anyway even though she confirmed the next day that I was saying no a lot. She laughed it off but I'm pretty sure I got date raped and it was actually very distressing at the time and I wasn't sure how to feel afterwards.

I don't know what is in that poo poo but I've definitely never had that sort of experience with actual weed.

So aside from my anecdote other people can actually get legitimately addicted to that poo poo? Is it mental or an actual, physical addiction? The getting hooked followed by turning into an unrecognizable drug zombie thing happened to the idiot I knew, too.

Hasn't this stuff been proven to seriously gently caress people's brains up? I don't understand it, but maybe that's because I'm from a province where weed is basically legal in that no one thinks it's a big deal to grown, have or smoke it.


Edit: Is there an Intervention that covers someone addicted to it? It would be interesting to see the Synth high as compared to the real stuff. I'm thinking about how different people drunk on mouthwash vs regular booze act, could it be something like that?

Drugs sprayed on potpourri is called spice or spike and it's nasty as poo poo. It's basically THC that some dick in China is making subtle and random chemical changes to every so often to keep it one step ahead of illegality. The results can be violent and totally unpredictable.

People who smoke fake weed are either weed fiends, dumbasses, or both.

Just smoke the real stuff, and if you can't because of probation or your job then find a new hobby or something.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Real weed is a plant. It grows in the ground and comes from god via nature. Fake weed is chemicals. It is sprayed into potpourri and comes from satan via some idustrial plant somewhere. Just say NO to satan.

It's also highly non-uniform which is really bad for a drug. Two people can smoke the same batch and one wont even feel it while another gets so high they can't control their limbs. Veey ungood.
