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!

This trip report was written by a person I know who is a student at a private college in the southern US. The comments at the end of this document should serve as a reminder that it’s always worth testing the pills you get so that at the very least you know what you’re dosing yourself with. Safety should always be prioritized above all else when it comes to drug hobbies.

Experience Report: 10/25/08

Time of consumption: 10:30 PM

Substance consumed: two “ecstasy” pills

• red, tightly packed with pink spots
• Glock pistol logo
• indented edge at top
• no smell/taste (swallowed)

I purchased three hits of ecstasy a few months ago and had tried one pill back then.  It was different from these two… the first one was a blue ribbon.  The other two were red pills with pink spots packed tightly in there.  The front was outlined by an indented ring around the pill, and it was emblazoned with the indentation of a Glock pistol.

They also seized some meth! Really, the midwestern US is just amazing. It is an interesting testament to the human psyche that when confronted with extreme boredom (the status quo there) the answer is not only to smoke weed; indeed, the answer is to smoke weed and do lots of meth! A friend of mine enrolled at Purdue recently, and he called me within a few hours of arriving in Indiana to inform me that he had just smoked meth. Seriously. Don’t do meth. Stick with the green.

From the Omaha World-Herald:

The following is a press release from the Nebraska State Patrol:

(Lincoln, NE)- More than 800 lbs. of marijuana along with 3 ½ ounces of meth were seized by Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) troopers on Tuesday, September 23, 2008, in two separate traffic stops on Interstate 80.

At approximately 6:13 p.m. on Tuesday, September 23, 2008, a trooper with Headquarters Troop-Lincoln stopped an eastbound Penske Rental truck with Indiana plates for speeding and failing to signal about one mile east of the Beaver Crossing exit on I-80 in Seward County, Nebraska.

A check of the drivers’ license information determined he was wanted by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE).  The driver was arrested on the outstanding warrant.   The trooper was given consent to search the vehicle by the passenger.   An NSP canine indicated the odor of drugs coming from the cargo area of the truck.   A search of the vehicle led to the seizure of 33 bales of marijuana inside boxes in the back of the rental truck.   The marijuana seized totaled 810 lbs.

The driver of the vehicle 34-year-old Benedicto Galvez of Detroit, Michigan, was lodged in the Seward County jail on the outstanding warrant from ICE, as well as a charge of Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Deliver.   A passenger in the vehicle 28-year-old Manuel Mendoza, of Detroit, Michigan, was lodged on a charge of Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Deliver.

A second stop earlier in the day in Buffalo County, near Kearney, Nebraska resulted in the seizure of 3 ½ ounces of methamphetamine. 

 Shortly before noon on Tuesday, a trooper with Troop C Headquarters- Grand Island stopped an eastbound white, 1984 Oldsmobile, for speeding near mm 278.  During the stop the trooper detected the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.   A search of the vehicle led to the seizure of 3 ½ ounces of meth from the passenger compartment & trunk of the vehicle. 

The driver of the vehicle 47-year-old William Oliver of Harlan, Iowa, was lodged in the Buffalo County Detention Center in Kearney on a charge of Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Deliver.
