The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[CF87]

Weed is, like, too healthy for it to be fun. Like, what is the fucking point of doing a drug if it doesn't cause your life to end faster?

Smoke beers and make your life end.

Ate a 18.5 hr shift to the fucking face yesterday so I decided to stretch this weekend into a three day event.

With the amount of time all of you spend browsing this forum and/or indulgently listening to music, im rather surprised at the anti-weed sentiment. While I dont smoke weed everyday, I really enjoy smoking a bowl while listening to an album or two before bed on occasion. I never found weed to be the best in social situations (I clam up and have a hard time socially with good weed), but it is great for concerts.

I love weed, I just don't like the attitude that it's harmless and everyone should do it

I hadn't tried weed until I visited Colorado. Thought I'd like it, but it didn't do all that much for me. Surprised to say this, but I'd rather just get drunk.

For one thing I can't take weed to escape. It makes my thinking extremely repetitive so if I'm down it just makes me reiterate the thoughts that are bringing me down over and over in my head. Actually had a pretty nightmarish experience with it once.

I liked weed at somepoint, was at an apartment awile back, me and some dude just wanted to drink a few beers, we got stripped searched because some dude thought was had wires, what the fuck is this Scarface, holy crap

 

[Carpe Mortem]

I like weed when I'm with one other person. Not alone, I have a similar reaction as vegard. And no more people than that, I start thinking they're ganging up and plotting against me.

But I still stand by, as zabu said, that it isn't harmless. It's a drug. I'm smoking it to get fucked up.

It stinks like shit, normalises being a boring sack of twattery and immunity builds up so fast to the point that you waste too much cash just to get a buzz.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

It's a much more palatable smell than tobacco smoke, IMO.

 

[no country for old wainds]

when it's fresh sure, but you get a lot of people where the stench seems to have slowly soaked into their clothes over an extended period and that shit is gross.

the spell of unsmoked tobacco in the packet is the best smell in the world btw.

this is what cigarette packaging looks like in the UK now. grossness alert:

Spoiler

i can't find it but the pic of a baby smoking is pretty funny.

 

[CF87]

I really only drink beer if im smoking with some friends, and being high mutes the bitterness.

Liquors good.

One night someone is going to put something in your booze and you're going to get Bill Cosbied like a bitch, you gonna get raped.

Do you smoke?

I can't find my favourite one but it's one about smoking causing impotence and it has a picture of a naked man curled up in the foetal position on a bed . But yeah most of them are disgusting and I wish I didn't have to look at them when I buy a pack.

 

[no country for old wainds]

oh yeah lmao, that one's fun. nah i don't smoke myself, never have. i thank my lucky stars these days. how can you afford to buy cigarettes in the UK in 2017?!

 

[Phylactery]

I can't afford it, it's ridiculous. I quit for 11 months about 2 years ago and I'm so disappointed in myself that I started again. Going to try vaping I think as it's much cheaper and doesn't smell as bad.

I felt much better when I quit smoking, and it sounds weird but I also felt I had much more time in each day, as I wasn't taking out 5 minutes every hour or two for a smoke.

 

[CF87]

I roll my own, i have a love hate thing with it, i do with everything.

 

[no country for old wainds]

for those who don't live in the uk, imagine paying 15+ US dollars for a pack of 20. actually before brexit killed the value of the pound it would've been approaching 20 dollars for the priciest brands. i know people who smoke in the region of 40 or 60 a day, i can't even fathom having that much disposable income to waste on that shit. they've also now banned packs with less than 20 in (and less than 30g pouches).

They're like that here, I think we were the first to bring them in.

Spoiler

Also Thai warning labels made me laugh when I was there last

I think this means don't smoke near children but the look of pure ignorant bliss on his face isn't really hammering the point home

 

[Phylactery]

I can get through 40 in a day if I'm on a night out. I always smoke a lot when I'm out boozing, but I can't imagine smoking 60! Your lungs must be screaming in protest the next day.

Vaping is massively cheaper, cost me about $35 a month once I started ordering refillable ones online (versus buying ~15 packs a month). A lot of smokers don't like it cause it's "not the same" but that didn't bother me.

I did end up vaping more often than smoking, cause it's easier to do indoors, but ultimately that smoothed out my rate of intake (i.e. lots of quick puffs throughout the day, instead of a lot more nicotine at one time with a cigarette) which made it easier to switch to patches and eventually quit.
