Cock and Bull (Thread Hijack)
I agree with the consensus below about hallucinations from smoking weed - I've done my lion's share of various substances and I do have to say have been extremely lucky to 1. have survived extremely inadvisable situations when out of your mash with my mind and/or body intact (peaking on Acid at the Apex of Alton Tower's Nemesis was a particularly good/bad moment)and 2. Never had a bad trip.

I have smoked and smoked weed through bongs, chillums, hot-knives, pipes, spliffs, eaten the stuff, cooked with it, drunk canabis vodka and had it in solid, bud and oil forms - I have never tripped out, ever. The only effects it produces for me, is the ability to rant at the television, start laughing uncontrolably at things I suddenly think are funny, eat far too much junk food, suddenly decide that it's ok to cook a slap up feast at 3am, post bong drooling like a St. Bernard infront of a steak, being wrestled to the floor by Captain Gravity and held there indefinitely until the evil wrong doing I have imbibed has left my head, and throwing a whitey and chucking my ring up if I've had a few too many beers before smoking a joint.

No-one I know of trips or hallucinates when smoking weed - including the Amsterdam visit where in the Coin we bonged Nepalese Temple Balls and smoked pure bud joints to "even out" the dope/bud high and lows - much to the owner shaking his head in disbelief at the state we got ourselves in.

Of course different substances effect different people in different ways - so maybe the shandy-handbag-half-pint-puffs who try to big up their street cred to their mates through making stuff up or not wanting to look stupid in front of someone saying "whoa this shit is strong - look at that penguin" - maybe they do see stuff - after-all, look at the arses they got into a "space-shuttle" on Channel 4.

But please remember not all drugs are good - some of them are fucking amazing!

Peace, and a Happy Christmas to one and all!
