spacejunk you have been a member since may so you probably dont know. Your glad they banned it! what! what else are you glad is banned? Prehaps we should all just take the same drugs cause they been around for a while and thats what everyone else takes.
Little by little we loose our rights as adults as more and more things get banned. Once something is banned we loose the chance to study the drug and once a drug is scheduled is soo hard to get permission to study it. Personally i think australia is going backwards with drug laws when the rest of the world is decriminalizing cannabis we are recently doing the opposite.
I want to experience all sorts of highs. Not just the stock standard. Look what happened to salvia. I bet you aint tried that cause it got banned years ago. Which is a shame.
it is pretty presumptuous of you to say that my sign-up date reflects my knowledge, experience or understanding of how things work.
do you not understand that some forums can be used extensively without actively participating in them?
i don't really feel like it is necessary to have to explain this to you, but i've been reading this forum for a number of years. the fact that i haven't spent that time clogging it with useless posts, and that i took my time learning stuff before chiming in is out of respect.
yes, as a matter of fact i have encountered salvia, and i agree that its banning was arbitrary, senseless and undemocratic.
however, the circus that were created by synthetic cannabinoids - sold commercially and exploitatively to people wholly uninformed about the nature of what they were smoking.
i'm as opposed to the 'war on drugs' as anyone, but the situation was handled so irresponsibly by all of the various fake pot vendors that it was bound to force our reactionary governments to respond eventually.
rather than a well-kept secret amongst well-informed heads, the kronic (etc) cowboys went for the big money, the mass-market with a slick, commercial product and no mention of active ingredients or anything besides some side-stepping "herbal incense" BS. if this was kept underground and not marketed in such a blatant way, we might all still have access to the shit.
i know it sucks to have another thing taken out of our hands, i know it was convenient for some people to be able to buy this at legit stores with few supply hassles - but if we're going to ban everything else, it would be insane to think that a government in a place like australia isn't going to put an end to it.
frankly i'm amazed it lasted as long as it did, and i just hope that we don't find out in 10 years that these compounds have long-term implications.
and mate, i'm sorry if i insulted something you clearly enjoy - but they are a synthetic approximation of something natural and wonderful.
they are
research chemicals sold to people who don't even know what that means, and some shifty entrepreneurs blew it for all of us when they got rich selling the crap to the masses in shiny packaging.
progressive drug policy is NOT letting people smoke this garbage whilst real marijuana is still illegal.
synthetic cannabis is another unfortunate side-effect of the war on drugs. it isn't the antidote or the solution to it.
the real thing is out there, the real thing is readily obtainable - the real thing is (in many cases) cheaper! %)
