POTpourri

[Chet Starr]

Tried this shit when I was stuck in Kansas City on the greyhound. Then my sister was smoking it the whole time I was in Arkansas

I fucking love this shit, I don't care what it does to my brain long term

Abram? Since your the only one who actually tries shit

[Ka0t1c]

i know what u mean, that shit is bad and i can't stand it, i like the real stuff

Well, here's the deal.

This stuff produces a great high. Not just one brand or another, pretty much all of it is just fantastic. It's incredibly strong, and it lasts for several hours. The high is like that of natural THC, just stronger. That's what's good about this stuff, aside from the obvious legality advantage.

What's bad about it though, is partially known, and partially unknown. See, the actual research chemicals used from brand to brand vary. They're all synthetic cannabinoids, that much is certain. The long term effects, as you alluded to, are still unknown.

One of the primary research scientists on these chemicals has stated that the reason he doesn't use them for marijuana research is due to the fact that they break down into carcinogens. So they do turn into toxic, possibly cancer-causing chemicals after they are metabolized. It's impossible to tell which ones are on the particular blend you're using--without sending it to a lab anyway--so some of these blends may be worse than others, and it's impossible to tell which ones these are.

So long-term effects are still hazy. The short-term effects are more well documented from anecdotal reports. Panic attacks are very high on the list. Turns out people don't know how to handle a ridiculously strong bout of anxiety brought on by these chemicals, and often go to the hospital thinking they're going to die. Yeah. Seizures have also been reported.

There is a possible addiction potential here that isn't present with actual marijuana. Since THC is only a partial agonist of the CB receptor, your body is less likely to become dependent....what am I saying, marijuana addiction is a fucking joke. Man up, bitches. Come get some Oxycontin, and I'll show you pussies what addiction is.

Anyway, got off track. These chemicals are often full agonists, meaning your body may develop a dependence on them. This leads to addiction, and some withdrawal symptoms have been reported upon cessation of use.

So that's what I know. I used to fuck around with these blends back in the day, before they were even in stores. Back then, they ran about $45 for 3.5 g. It was worth it, too! That was, however, also before it came out what was in the blends. After that, I sorta threw in the towel.

I haven't showed any addiction signs so far, weed is far more addicting for my body. I have literally sold so much shit, just so I could buy a fucking quarter, it's sad

I have to just laugh at all the people that trip out and head to the ER. I like to think those are people that would even have bad trips on weed. So far I'm safe on that part

Yeah it's effects are unknown, but I've put much worse in my body.

I'm focusing on the good points of this all.
+It gets me super high, like when I first started smoking weed (Course I build a tolerance, just like weed)
+I can get it easily
+I won't get arrested for having it on my person

& sadly the bad sides
-It's fucking pricey!

But until I find a regular pot dealer, I'm going to stick with this shit.

& I might as well point out, I'm 31 days sober from all drugs

[DƎRDYPK]

that shits outlawed up here
I can still get it, but not the kind that gets you totally baked and has chemicals in it

[mdemaz]

Chet is going on his binge.

[AbramIsaac]

Shit, Chet's been clean ever since that overdose scare when I gave him a little bit too much in that syringe back when he was still in Arkansas.

Sorry about that man, we were lucky that rehab nurse was only a couple doors down. That Nalaxone really saved your ass.

You looked like a little bitch foaming at the mouth and shaking on the floor though.
