drat. we call that “doing spots” and once some guy I was buying weed off, and this story is no lie I’m not exaggerating, was about to sell me the strongest weed I had ever smoked, and made me do FIVE spots of it before I bought some. I remember doing the last one and sitting down and there was a flower on the table and it took up my entire vision and I moved so slow.
It was the highest I’ve ever been and by miles. after a minute I had settled down to just being incredible high but no longer was my perception so altered. wow.





i’ve gotten high enough to alter my visual perception with weed only a few times out of the thousands of times i’ve gotten high. i’ve never really read anyone else describe my experience

it’s not like hallucination, and if you think of your vision as two things, one the raw image and two your brains filter on top that shows a face is a face etc, it was like that part was being massively distorted. I remember looking at my brother when this happened, which only lasts a couple of mins before you come down to just super high, but he looked like a muppet. features were distorted, but you can tell it’s not on the raw image layer where this is happening but in the perception layer that defines what things are. well that’s how it seems in my mind. very few tales of people and weed and this perceptual change, also I imagine a lot of people say “weed can’t do that” and so shut down the convo

when I first started getting high as a late teen, it used to be such a profound and huge change to my consciousness. it’s almost never like that anymore. different from psychedelics but definitely comparable in intensity. used to make music sound soooooooooo good. now it’s ok.

decrim for sure but what would legalisation of drugs really look like?

I don’t necessarily think a punishment model is correct to disuade use, but i’ve met A LOT of drug addicted people and it absolutely dominates their life like nothing else ever could, and reducing access as much as possible is paramount. obv this includes plenty of money for help etc etc but it’s difficult to
imagine a world where people have better access to highly addictive drugs but have less problems due to it.

also when people talk about legalising drugs does anyone wonder if that means dr no longer needs to write rx for amiodarone people can just get any drug they want just by asking?



weed specially thc is probably not very good for levels of psychosis across society and the free market approach that is seen in colorado from the outside looks disturbing, drugs shouldn’t be treated how society treats alcohol, as far as openly advertised and available, there should never be a place for encouraging someone to use more drugs. all of this is compatible with accepting legalisation is the best way forward.

theoretically full legalization would mean you could get hardcore stuff from government sources where they’d provide public health information and interventions at every step of the way.

it doesn’t necessarily mean you could get to the corner shop for heroin or whatever

yeah, addicts might be more inclined to get help if they’re not also worried about going to jail too.

easier to do reasonable and helpful research if the subject isn't restricted/politicized to the point of illegality

this still seems like a libertarians wet dream where our freedoms to consume drugs which have high rates of ruining lives are upheld and even supported by the govt

ultimately the best solution to the drug problem is people having lives that are better than the drugs, because drugs ruin far less lives when the people don’t want to risk ruining their good life just to get high.


a bit like obesity, we have to as a society work out how to walk the line where we do what we can to prevent it in the first place, but also care and treat those who are in that position in the best way possible.


our dopamine reward pathway drives almost all of our actions. free will is an illusion, it just feels true. most people know what it’s like to try to be eating well but you just cave to desire helplessly.

a drug like weed can create rewards in the brain, but like an activity like eating, the pathway is acting as it should, we’ve just put some strong rewards in front of it and it’s responding as it will.

but drugs like amphetamines and opioids interfere directly inside the reward pathway, creating dopamine responses literally impossible without drugs, and because of the way our reward pathway determines our actions, you literally rewire the brain to consider this drug more vital to survival than almost anything else.

there is a unique insidiousness with those types of drugs and their ability to hijack a persons life shouldn’t be underestimated

idk what the best solution is, but it absolutely involves a healthy approach to doing what we can to prevent people from trying those kinds of drugs at all, rather than sitting back and allowing people to make potentially life altering decisions for the sake of freedom


imo anyway

this argument is always bizarre to me, it’s like “with the present system people are massively drug dependent and take drugs all the time”.

so obviously making drugs illegal is working well to reduce access :thumbsup:

tbqh the only time i'll turn down a grilled cheese is when it's really just dry toast with cheese and even then i'll probably eat it. it's hard to make a bad grilled cheese such that i don't want to eat it.

but yeah it was fuckin great.
