DiTM Social + General Discussion

Yeah they aren't going to roll the troops into the middle of America to rob some heavily guarded factory when they can just sit in Mexico and S. America and pay the farmers a pittance to make heroin.
 
I'm gonna start merging all general discussion threads into this thread. It's either that or close them, which I hate doing.

Retitle thread "DiTM Social + General Discussion". Execute.
 
The Movie "Limitless" Made me Want To Try Cocaine LOL

Im pretty sure that movie was referring to the Cocaine that stock market traders often "apparently" use to access some inner remarkable power that allows them to trade shares with superior returns.

The movie "limitless" has made me curious about the effects of cocaine, how can society allow such movies but criminalize you if you try a drug. (if caught anyway)

Nobody wants a police record which would actually be quite a disadvantage...you cudnt run for prime minister lol.

But how can society allow movies that amount to "drug taking propaganda" but at the same time tell you that you will ruin your life with a police record even for the smallest amount possession.

Its like the stores that are allowed to sell bongs, but not the cannibus.
 
^mrrged with social thread

Isn't the Limitless drug an ampakine? I haven't watched the movie and so maybe I should. Anyhow if you've never tried cocaine prepare to be whelmed! Not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed, just whelmed. It's a very very very hyped drug.
 
I absolutely lose my mind when I read arrest stories and the associated comments.

Just recently, a cop was arrested for buying a few Oxycodone pills from an informant. The man is being prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, losing his career, most likely his family/home, and will be in a jail cell for the next ten years of his life.

The comments sections? Full of vile, ignorant, arrogant people spitting reprensible vitriole about what a repugnant, disgusting menace this guy is to society. Not one iota of compassion or "well, even cops make mistakes" or anything resembling an understanding that human beings are infallible. It was just one after the other of, "He should be locked up for life," to "what a disgusting human being," to "addicts CHOOSE to be unproductive members of society, screw him!" etc.

I mean, I've never seen such a concerted outpouring of hate in my life. It's really offensive. What is wrong with people out there? Where has our compassion gone, as a society? Do we not want to help people overcome their problems/addictions/vices? It's one thing for the media to demonize drugs, but I never thought I'd see normal people spewing so much hatred over a drug offense. It really upset me. Yes, cops are cops to uphold the law, but they are also humans an capable of making mistakes.

When did we become such an intolerant, angry society?

You can find this article easy by searching "Gloucester police officer drug" or something similar. It's from NJ.

Just saddens me.
 
If its a cop he deserves it, they should be held to a higher standard and i bet he fucked alot of peoples lives.What goes around comes around, kid.
 
I have never tried cocaine. I doubt that I ever will.
My interests lie more in psychedelics.
And a glass or two of red wine.
And ice cream with sugar in it.

Me neither lol.

All of my friends that have tried (and I do have a couple ex-cokehead friends as well) cocaine tell me that it is better to not use it than to use it, that whatever I get out of it won't be worth knowing that feeling in my brain. Not to say they told me the first line would have me hooked, rather, it isn't worth it to try it because its so expensive compared to other drugs and the effect it produces is something they doubt I'd enjoy.

I agree with them. I am currently getting tested anyways so its not something I'd do even if I wanted to. Just like marijuana, except I love marjuana though we can't be together currently. </3

I prefer psychedelics anyways though I do drink on occasion.
 
Anti-Meth campaigns made me want to do Meth

Since I first heard of Meth, it peaked my curiosity. Why would people do it when it was made out to be so bad. It looked like a bad high, but people wouldn't do it without a reason. Meth was never popular or around my area. I knew of no one who had tried it. I went out on my own to find it, tried it alone, & ended up staying up for 3 or 4 days then being taken to the psych ward. I've used it again since then a few times. The high was nothing like it was made out to be. I don't blame the anti-drug campaigns, but I think they need to focus more on actuality, rather than a straight scare tactic. For a metal head, I thought it seemed cool. The drug that everyone is against, yet no one was against it during WW2. Somehow keeps you up for days, yet you hallucinate & go crazy on it. I had looked for it for 2 years before being able to find it, & the crap hit the fan.
 
nice post, anti drug campaigns all too often paint drugs in an untrue light, when i think government run things should just say what is what. some drugs, like meth or heroin, you're doing yourself a favor if you don't do them for sure, as many people get addicted and fuck themselves, but it's important to be objective in stating the harms. but it is difficult as i think some people will just do it anyway, knowing the harms, that is humans, and people need to learn to accept that.
 
i DID utfs, but didn't see this

I was watching 1000 WAYS TO DIE at least I think that's the name of the program
and there was a man featured who made a huge batch of LSD and soaked a shirt in it.

He was planning on wearing the shirt right through customs and flying out to his destination with his shirt on. Then he could have cut it up or whatever, you know, sold it.

I'm not saying I believe this, because it's so outlandish.

The program showed that as he went through his travels, he absorbed the LSD through his skin.

He ended up tripping, then tripping harder, then going into some sort of seizure/attack.

Now he's dead.

Did anyone else see that episode of the show?
 
Never saw that episode but I feel like someone with access to that much would avoid doing something like that in that they would know the risk of messing something like that up. I don't know the science behind dermal dosing though.
 
i would figure that the lsd would degrade quite a bit aswel wouldn't it?

In this instance, (assuming its true, which I find doubtful) I'd believe so. I believe that the higher the level of exposure to light, heat and moisture, the more likely the product is to degrade. In this scenario, there is no foil or case or anything so it is likely the product wouldn't be as strong as if it were properly stored.
