Because if it says so on the internet, it's obviously true.

Erowid is considered one of the best sources online for substances. It has tons of actual, factual, information, with user experiences, experiments, and documentaries. It's not some sh*tty little site where lunatics teach children how to make blunts of of plates, or snort pixie sticks. It's just the truth. THC, in marijuana, doesn't kill your brain cells, rather, it just "tickles" your brain's receptors, without harming them. It was proven not to be addictive, along with other such proof to attack the propaganda that suggested such things. Infact, the only downside of pot, is the actual smoking part. I doesn't constrict your airways, it opens them, but there is proof that smoke, of any kind, can hurt your lung cells. But hey, you can always eat the pot...

I highly suggest you take 5 minutes out of your life to visit that site.

^ One of my friends in college had a dog that died when it ate an ounce and a half. I don't know if it was the THC that did it, though. Of course, if that's gonna keep you from weed then you definitely need to stay away from chocolate. And antifreeze.

VC: thanks for the Crumb

Nah, dogs are weird. How big was the guys dog? If it was a small thing, I'd understand. I feed my 130 pound dog bars of chocolate (rarely), and he didn't kick the bucket. Meh.

RL, I knew someone was going to bring South Park up. Mmmkay?

There are many drugs that enhance the "spiritual side" of the mind, but you can get far more out of music without them.

With drugs, you get something different; Any art can be appreciated differently after taking any one of a number of different drugs. It can seem quite amazing, until the effects wear off. "Ummagumma" comes to life about two hours or so into the average LSD trip. But try listening to it without the assistance of the blotter; Simple physics; what goes up MUST come down.

Without drugs, the effect never wears off, and you don't get the crappy feeling afterwards.

A nice "doobie" can also enhance the creative process - providing you have something to work with in the first place. It's good for adding detail to something that exists, but next to useless for coming up with new ideas from scratch.

Too many doobies can muck the whole thing up - including your body and mind; Jazz musicians the world over have stumbled into the pitfalls of heroin. Yep, Mary Joanna can be the gateway that anti-druggies say she is. Note; CAN.

It's like anything; Moderation is the key - using the tool to get a job done, rather than abusing it.

Everyone takes drugs. Mostly in denial, but they do. Did you know that Bananas contain a seratonin releasing agent similar to ecstasy?

'Scuse me while I just nip down to Tesco for my daily "lunch bunch"...

Ganja has VERY nasty side-effects, mainly paranoia, and can lead to long term mental illness.

My only drug of choice is Alcohol, but in reasonable doses, I suggest anybody wanting to experience a safe "high" should push their body to the limit (A rowing machine is good for this), then (when you fall off the machine with exhaustion) the brain is usually awash with natural pain killers (endorphines or whatever they are called) - This natural high can be very pleasant....

However I wouldn't suggest 5000m straight away....build it up slowly!
