Another serious note, a poster on this forum said he used to freeze his cocaine boogers, then would chop them up and snort them when he was low on cash.
Drugs and you

D8 is weak IMO, but I’m essentially a 5-7 days a week cannabis user.
I tried a D8 cartridge and some gummies. The gummies did nothing for me and I got a teenie tiny head change off the cart. Gave the gunmies to my father in law and he said they helped with inflammation in his joints, so he’s a regular user now.
I threw the cart away and rolled a joint. Much better.
The Len Bias death was and still is bizarre. I've never since heard of anyone dying of a cocaine overdose when it was cocaine alone.
I remember his death; such a good player. I recall the coke obviously, but didn't they also find that he had a heart issue that was affected by the coke? Or am I thinking of someone else?
Myself, I use cannabis daily now. I was diagnosed with kidney cancer in September......3 weeks after total knee replacement. I'd been losing weight even before my knee surgery but didn't think a lot of it at the time. I just wasn't hungry, thus I didn't eat.
Once I was given the cancer diagnosis I began smoking herb. I've gotten my appetite back and have at least stopped losing weight. I had surgery one week a go today, so now I'm recovering from that. I keep 3 or 4 rolled all the time; nothing else works quite as well for so many symptoms/ailments/, pain, etc, etc.
Last week there was an obituary for a 17 year old kid. A friend of mine who knew his family said he smoked some weed that was laced with something. If we had legalized pot that you could buy in a store, that kid is probably still alive. Yeah, the kid couldn't buy it himself, but like we did with booze back in high school, we had some older connections to buy for us.
All drugs need to be legalized. Have them produced to strict specifications and distributed by authorized distributors, much like some states have ABC stores. Use the profits to fund REAL rehab opportunities for people who want to get clean. Make the unauthorized manufacture and distribution of drugs punishable by death, excluding the low level dealer who is selling to support their habit. They will be entered into mandatory rehab. The benefits? You take a lot of the criminal element out of it. You stop people from dying due to inferior products laced with **** like fentanyl. You could cut down on a large chunk of the prison population by decriminalizing drugs. We need to stop the ridiculous War On Drugs and go in a different direction.
I’m in agreement with MOST of what you’ve said here. We’ll part ways on the death penalty for illegal manufacturing. I think we have a very good model to go by with how we handle the manufacturing, distribution and sales of alcohol, and we don’t execute moonshiners or homebrewers.
Having said that, you are 100% right that in The War On Drugs, Drugs has come out the clear victor. It would be best for everyone if we admit defeat, have the troops (cops and DEA) stand down, and try a new and reasonable approach.
If you are manufacturing/growing for your own consumption, that would be different. For this to work, there has to be a draconian penalty that makes the risk/reward for manufacturing to sell/distribute extremely unfavorable.
