There is a lot of information to sift through in regards to recreational drugs. Whether it’s the DEA, MADD, your drug dealer, or a random website you stumble across, there tends to be quite a bit of bias in the answers you find. I’m going to try to accomplish the impossible: an unbiased guide to drugs!

I am inevitably going to fail, as I am admittedly extremely biased towards the responsible use of drugs. I believe that almost any drug can be used responsibly, and if everyone was thoroughly educated on them, it would be much more common that people could do so. Drug education could also have loads of other positive effects, of course, including a reduced stigma, further research, and better addiction assistance, but that’s another topic entirely.

So without further delay, let’s begin!

It’s amazing to think that I’ve been heavily into recreational drugs for 4 years now. On the one hand, I’ve gained so many experiences; looking back it seems like I’ve had a lifetime of memories in this short time. On the other hand, I’ve only been using them for a fraction of my life, and it’s incredible to look forward to all the possibilities ahead of me.

One thing is for sure, I’ve done a lot of drugs. I’ve done some drugs that most people probably only know about in a mythical sense, and some people probably haven’t even heard of! In this article, I’d like to share with you all my experiences with these drugs, and which ones I like, and dislike, the most. I’ll try to order them from most enjoyable to least enjoyable, but since drugs are such complicated issues, it wont be perfect.

This article at the Huffington Post helps to remind us again (as if we’d forgotten) that something is wrong with the way pot’s scheduled:

Why marijuana is not a drug

I’d say it’s a good read if you feel the need to argue with someone anti-pot and want to be informed on the issues. If you like Stoner Culture and you want to see more posts please leave a comment!

Sounds like some bullshit, right? Wrong. The title of this post is the title of a rational and well-balanced article written for Time Magazine. The article considers the health effects, both positive and negative, of marijuana and manages to paint our good herb with a light mostly positive. It’s time for change. Remember, if you live in California then there is currently a bill in queue that would legalize and tax marijuana. Look down a few posts for more details.

I first came across this article a while ago, but the contents remain fresh in my mind. This is one story that you’ll want to read all the way though. The One-Man Drug Company profiles a young white coke dealer as he makes a living (about $5000 a week, tax free) the hard way in Manhattan.

From the article:

Every day he tells himself the same thing. You are doing nothing wrong. It plays through his mind on repeat, keeping his nerves in check. You have no reason to worry. Tonight, a Friday, he is walking down a cobblestone street in Soho, hands wedged in his leather jacket, his posture slump-shouldered, as if he’s curling in on himself. In his right-hand pocket, there is a plastic bag containing numerous smaller plastic bags—“tickets,” he calls them—filled with either a gram or gram and three quarters of cocaine. The smaller ones he calls “chiquitas.” They cost $60. The big ones, known simply as “big ones,” go for $100. He is heading to see a customer, a twiggy, doe-eyed woman who asked to meet outside an art gallery. He thumbs through the Baggies, able to gauge the weight with his fingertips, and secures her order in his fist, all the while humming along to the voice in his head.

My experience with vaporizing cannabis goes all the way back to when I started using it in the first place. I had a crude lightbulb vape—kinda like this one here:

but slightly more advanced with vinyl tubing and a water filtration chamber. After a couple months of regular smoking with the lightbulb device, I decided that a convection-style vaporizer was needed. (more…)

This article was written for the site by Lotus, who you may remember as the author of the article on driving while high. What you are about to read is a really, really bad idea. You should not attempt to do anything described in this article unless you want to die. With that out of the way…

One of the greatest things about weed that I’m sure all smokers can attest to is how it makes almost every activity better in some way. From the sedentary lifestyle of sitting in front of the TV or computer screen to getting outside and exercising, everything just seems better. And, to most of us, we can do these things without much sacrifice to skill level or reflexes. 

So, with this in mind, I decided to combine my two loves: marijuana and motocross. To protect my identity, I won’t release the information about my bike. But know that I’m an intermediate level rider (to the layman, this is, in MX racing class terms, the level just under pro or expert) who has over ten years of riding and racing experience under his belt. My bike is a finely tuned race machine, and under inexperienced hands it has the capability to cause serious harm.

Puff Puff Pass—This means take two puffs then pass it to the next guy. This is usually said when someone takes a bunch of tokes without sharing once. Usually everyone has a understanding that you take two puffs then you pass it to the right, but if someone violates that understanding someone will let him know by saying ”puff puff pass!”

Don’t Fuck Up The Rotation—Fucking up the rotation is never a good thing to do in any crowd. This usually happens when a person passing is too high to remember who’s next to get the blunt and passes it to the wrong person, at which point a good Samaritan will correct him by saying ”Don’t fuck up the rotation!”

You Touched It, You Hit It—This phrase in stoner culture means that if you touch the bong blunt pipe or joint then you MUST take a puff. This usually happens when there is a circle of pot heads standing around getting high off the same blunt joint or pipe and there is someone else standing there who doesn’t wish to smoke and he grabs the blunt to pass it to the next guy. Little does he know the next guy won’t accept it unless he takes a puff because ‘’he touched it, now he must hit it.’

I like these phrases because they were formed so everyone gets high and no one is left out. That sort of thought process is what sets potheads aside from users of hard drugs. Although these phrases are sometimes found used in reference to other recreational substances they are almost exclusively used within the stoner culture. 

If you have any thoughts, opinions or other phrases feel free to post a comment.

Reading this could very well keep you out of jail.

It sucks to get busted. The above document, which was written by VladTemplar, tells you exactly what to do when the police attempt a violation of your rights. Have you ever wondered where the best place to store your drugs while driving is? Wonder no more (the trunk). You will also be instructed on how to deal with police who bang loudly on your door when you’re just trying to toke and listen to a little music. More advanced topics such as search warrants and the ol’ stop and frisk are also covered.

What you’re about to read was written by our own dear member Lotus. You absolutely, under no circumstances, should in any way perform the actions described here. Now that the obvious is out of the way, I’ll tell you that Lotus is a very intense automotive enthusiast; he just loves cars.
