I can't be arsed to read all these threads
in need a news update. What's been happening

If you had to wear clothes made from food, what kind of food would you have it made from.

/shit question to validate the thread

I have absolutely no idea what's been happening, other than the fact Kitty appears to have come back this week.

there is blue food colouring, though. Colour your milk blue in a student house and nobody steals it. Does look crap in tea, though

Just been to see a potential new client in Farringdon.
I went to this sushi place I used to go to when I worked there, and got take away. £6 got me 3 large bento boxes filled to the brim ! They do it 50% off at the end of the day. I ain't tried it yet as I just got in, but if it's as good as it was a few years ago, then OH BOY. That would have cost me at least £20 in my usual place.

I like it all to tell you the truth =)
I find the sashimi needs the rice as a body for the meal, that you can't really get full on just sashimi.

My favorite pieces are Ebi Goyza and Ebi Katsu at my local place, the goyza is more than one mouth full, and I love dipping them in teyakki sauce or the vinegar stuff it comes with. But I had the same stuff at Wagamamas and was really disapointed.

There are some big threads on the go lately...
ANY STONERS HERE?

Give me the low down on a lump of cheap cannabis. I am getting £20-30 worth and intend on getting high somehow. What is the most idiot-proof method? I don't smoke so joint-making will be difficult.

Bong's may be an idea but are pricey (£15ish). I am tempted to make one of those things with a coke bottle and bin bag but this may be frowned upon by the weed community. I haven't got a fucking clue.

Would anybody like to guide me?

put it up their noses in big lumps (not like snorting, more like crayons)

Listen up son, I know it's "rad" and "Gnarly" to do "weed" these days, that all the "Hip" kids are doing it.
But you ought to know, the story of my mate Dean. He took the "waccy baccy" once, and he liked it, he liked it so much that he found that he didn't like anything else as much. Before long he started stealing from the church collection plate. Dropped out of Uni where he was about to get a 1st in Curing Cancer and Aids. Ended up in jail for an unrelated incidence where he was raped in the bumhole by his "Boyfriend" on a daily basis. He got out and cault a cold, which they say if he didn't have a weakened imume system from the "dope", he would have gotten over it a lot quicker. Last month he was found autoasphixiated in his flat with his pants around his ankles and BGB's knickers around his face.

They say if he didn't touch the "merry jane", we wouldn't have cancer today. Instead, he _was_ a cancer, a cancer on everyone he knew.

Don't walk down that path, nobody deserves that.

Hah, ace ! =DDD
To tell you the truth, weed doesn't really work possativly for me. It effects me badly, and I've seen it be the major (but not 100%) reason for a lot of people's lives go to pot. They all pulled out right in the end, but they still went way down hill. I'm not saying that's the way it works for everyone though, and a lot of people lead healthy productive lives while taking the stuff reguarly.

To skin up, you empty about 1/2 a normal ciggerette (not rolling 'backy) into a rizler with a sprinkle of weed or crumbled hash*. You then make a 'roach' out of cardboard, which is a tiny roll of cardboard; the packet from the fags or rizzler would do. Apparently silver rizzler is the 'smoothest' smoke, but contains really bad=for-you chemicals, like clorine. If you then YouTube on how to skin up, it'll show you how to do it. Practice with just backy first until you get the knack of it, if you don't do it right you can 'canoe' the joint which means the top/bottom half will burn quicker and thus stuff can fall out. There is also 'packing', which is when you pack the mix in further using something like the flint part of a clipper lighter, but don't do it too tight or it won't pull when you smoke it.

Near me, there are quite a few shops where you can buy drug parphanalia, such as on www.everybodydoesit.com , where you can get a 'grinder' to grind up the weed/hash into a dust better. The sparkly crystals, the 'tcb', is the bit that gets you high. Personally, I wouldn't want a high PCB content, as I'm not used to it, but that'll be the 'good stuff' from most people. They also sell these little smoking pipes that means you don't need the tobacco (I think, donno for sure), that would be a 'smoother' smoke, the magnatised credit card ones cool down the smoke and are supposed to be the best.... you might have a local shop that does them, which would be easier than learning how to skin up.

There is also the fact that you can use the stuff to bake into cookies or brownies, I've never tried that but it might be easier to do it that way.


* If you got hash, it's like a block of ressin, that you hold a lighter too and crumble it with your fingers. If you don't crumble it into a dust, you get 'hot rocks', which can burn clothes or furniture.

Well that sounds like a good entry to the blog
I think I'm going to have to youtube this like you suggest. To be honest the small amount I've dabbled in cannabis in the past (joints), all it has done is make a weird feeling crawl around my face and then into my teeth where I get PAIN. It's bizarre.

Hoping that this particular brand (hopefully even some green grassy type stuff) will not have such effects.
(, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 19:59, Reply)
Nah', I don't want to assosiate myself with the stuff, and people like family and potential work sometimes look at it.
I used to try it about once a year up 'till three years ago, just to confirm that I really don't get on well with the stuff.

If you know that you don't like the stuff, and if you don't mind me asking, why you trying it again?

You can shape/cone as you wish with one of them.

However, you cannot beat rolling by hand.
(, Tue 28 Sep 2010, 20:11, Reply)
A £10 note
works just as well.

Specifically, roll up a little bit of cardboard (5x2cm or so) to stop burnt bits getting in your lungs, place on a £10 note, add weed and a few strands of tobacco if you want (makes it easier to roll). Pic

Fold the note in half, roll between your fingers for a bit until the mixture starts to form a sorta cylindrical shape. Unfold, slide a rolling paper glue side up a little under the mixture (like this) and carefully roll it up until just the glue strip is sticking out. Lick the strip, finish rolling to stick it down and retrieve your perfectly-formed joint.
