for 15 years I was smoking every day. Pretty much knockewhen my first child was born. now maybe have a Joint a month as still enjoy being high from time to time. its all about moderation and in my heyday I just couldn't stop myself. I was an addict! I've done a lot of other drugs but Weed wae only one I was badly addicted to. used to grow the odd plan and send home loads in the post to myself on visits to Dam. now I look back and think what an idiot. I have a pretty successful career and could of blown it all for a small bit of green!

Thanks for this thread and well done Jase.
I've smoked daily for around 15 years and have loved the majority of my experiences. But although I'm quite liberal in terms of my views on decriminalization and the benefits etc I have to admit that its become more than a habit over the years. Like any substance it can be damaging if the user struggles to control it. The negatives for me are a lack of energy and desire to get out of the house as well as getting up groggy and of course the health issues linked with smoking in general.
I've wanted to cut down or quit for a while now. time for another shot I think using this thread as my inspiration.

Lads that's great that ye moved on from it. i smoked a bit in my younger years when I was out in the clubbing scene and doing a few parties, now I wasn't hooked or anything, but now I have 3 daughters heading for their teen years I worry about them as drugs are everywhere even in schools,it would be great for any young posters on here if ye lads could tell them about the dark side of things, like not been able to get up for work, not able to function properly.
i know a few lads that say they were depressed, paranoid. I know another bloke who lost his job and now stays indoors most of the time, they should have ex-users going round to schools sharing their bad experiences. I grew up with a lad who was a gifted footballer, had trials at a few big clubs,but he couldn't get away from drink and drugs, he is just after hitting 40 now and says it was the biggest regret of his life, cheers boys thanks for sharing.

I stopped years ago along with other substances. My most severe bouts of psychosis were whilst I was smoking cannabis in my late teens, early twenties. Doing a lot of cocaine nearly everyday for a few years in my mid twenties after my mother died (although not a reason to justify my use) was also my lowest and darkest period. You have no way of knowing what you are taking these days either as all is virtually chemically tampered with. What gets my goat now is the legal highs. I don't understand why any chemical substance is not illegal to begin with. Some of the legal highs have the similar make up to crystal meth for instance. My children are growing up fast and it does start to worry me what they might come across as there will always be a friend at some point who dabbles eventually. All I can do is try and educate them as best I can.

Well done jase!
I myself used to smoke weed and stopped because I started to work in oil and gas and you get tested! It was the best thing I ever did and I'm not anti weed it's horses for courses. The thing most people don't realise is that contrary to most idiots opinions on supper skunk etc and that people say that mind altering chems get put in weed, the real truth is that the chemical that does the damage is cbd which is higher in content in indica strains. What has been happening is that there is no commercial value in growing sativa strains because they take 12 weeks plus to flower and have small yields but they grow dead talk and indicas are short and bushy and can grow in 8 weeks with a heavy yield. So they got cross bred and hey ho you get tell bushey fast growing heavy yielding plants that are very cbd heavy which produced couch lock. Plants that are high in thc and no cbd are very uplifting .
For me as I got older and started getting responsibility so found it best to stay away and like yourself I'm happier for it 😀

no big mystery why manson/chapman will prob die in prison and other killers dont.
rightly or wrongly if you murder a A list star or stars you get made a example off.

That's true he never had been tried for murder who really knows for sure if he did or did not kill, I was meaning that he and chapman are serving a sentence more so than any other murderer. It's as if their not allowed to be realeased albeit possibly for their own safety but I can't see that being the case

You should check out George Carlin mate. That bloke knew what was up and was from around the same time as Hicks.
You'll find a lot of other comics that could see the world for what it was/is if you search youtube

Find it difficult to see other wise. I'm not doubting you Frankie but just think it's more to it. How come murderes like chapman and Manson for example serve as long as they do behind bars where as other convicted killers don't? To me it's suss. Have you got any links Frankie? Love a music conspiracy so I do, soaked in bleach is a cracker if anyone is into murder conspiracies

The scary thing about it is the whole world knows this was an inside job but completely ignores it.
There is no answer to the question because there is no questions been asked about it.
Ignorance is bliss.

This doco was the thing that opened my eyes to the fact the "Government" is actually a corporation. I think you first posted it 3-4 years ago Ed. Such a good watch.
Also, for any Australians reading the site, remember that as of 12:01am Tuesday, the Government's new data collection legislation comes into play. Although they have most likely been doing it for some years now already, just be careful with future use of smart phones and computers. I'm going back to the flip phone for most of my daily life stuff. Not because I engage in anything 'illegal', but because I still value some level of privacy in my life.
Will also be moving overseas and off the grid in 6 months time, to a nice, warm beach where I'm able to partake in consciousness expanding activities for a while.

Roscoe Lennon was on the cia/fbi watch list in the late 60s early 70s as were many high profile people against the vietnam war ,once the war finished and the birth of his son he was a changed man and went off the radar .
to show how much he had changed he hung out with NIXION a guy he was totally against .
belive me I have looked at this conspiracy for my love of the beatles etc and I don't buy it .

I think there's more to it. Lennon was more influential to people than any president or statesman. Keep in mind he was under heavy surveillance for yesrs, phones tapped etc. Chapman allegedly forgot his bullets and therefor had to go back to hiwia to get them as law states back then that you could own a gun but could only buy ammunition from the state u live in or have the weapon licensed in. In my opinion there's something not right about it

On the real land owners. You are actually only buying a piece of land under current occupancy if we got invaded for example I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't own that land. Buying a house means sweet FA and for the English it's only a matter of time because we have already lost and we are rotting from the inside out
