I love how this video teaches people how to use drugs.

[@wtconroe879]

There's one that teaches you how to sell too. That's not the main point of the documentary the main point is basically just celebs detailing how damaging the drug war is/was but it's called: How to make money selling drugs (not kidding)

Hunter S. Thompson was an idiot.

[@yakacm]

It's always amazed me that groups who are supposedly knowledgeable about drugs constantly misuse the word narcotics. Narcotics is used to mean any drugs when it actually only refers to opiates, the narco bit refers to sleep, same as the word narcolepsy, hence as opiates make you sleepy, why they are called narcotics.

[@rodneydaub3812]

Law Enforcement officers do it to this day ..

[@ocdemon8999]

I always thought by that definition, "Narcotics" as a category also included opiate adjuncts and drugs with opiate-like effects (Ex: Clonidine, Promethazine, Dextromethorphan)

[@MoonShadowWolfe]

Legitimately never heard that; from its use, I always thought it was the word for banned drugs. As in, cannabis was a narcotic in Canada and now it is not. It sure sounds like some people use it that way.

[@rodneydaub3812]

@@ocdemon8999 I asked chat GPT The term "narcotic" is often used colloquially to refer to any type of illicit drug or controlled substance, but its proper use is more specific. In the context of pharmacology and medicine, a narcotic refers to a type of drug that is derived from opium or synthetic derivatives of opium. Narcotics, also known as opioids, act on the central nervous system to produce pain relief, sedation, and a feeling of euphoria. Examples of narcotics include morphine, fentanyl, and heroin. It's important to note that narcotics have a high potential for abuse and can lead to addiction, overdose, and other serious health problems. Therefore, they are heavily regulated and are only available by prescription from a licensed healthcare provider. In contrast, other types of drugs, such as stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines or depressants like benzodiazepines, are not classified as narcotics. These drugs have different mechanisms of action and effects on the body, and they are regulated differently. In summary, the proper use of the term "narcotic" refers specifically to opioid drugs derived from opium or synthetic derivatives of opium, and it's important to use the term accurately to avoid confusion and promote clarity in discussions about drug use and abuse.

dont blame it on da drug

[@shibbles3628]

$1 per joint!?!?!?!? This is how I know I was born in the wrong era!

[@lilmike2710]

They were $2 per joint for me. That was 1979 - 1999. A nickel was a $5 bag, a dime $10. Through the 70's a quarter oz was always $25. A half $50 and an oz or a "lid" was $100 respectively. Called a lid since it was a sandwich baggie full enough that you only had room to fold the top or "lid" over. In the 1980's is when everyone started weighing a proper ounce, half and quarters respective to the grams that each should weigh. But a quarter was now $35 and then $70 for 1/2 and you usually got a break in an oz for $85. Into the 90's it became $40 a quarter and you rarely could find anyone who would sell a 1/2. They'd just sell u 2 quarters. An Oz would run you $120 usually and the only way you got a break was if you wanted a quarter pound or more. Which was $400. I stopped fooling around with it in 1999 because of a new job and career. But now since the laws have lighted up considerably I've started to pay attention to the modern market and things have certainly changed quite a bit. Grass has become (through breeding and improvements in growing) way WAY more potent and it's being sold by the single gram these days. On the streets and in dispensaries. From what I've been seeing, if you want what's considered decent smoke you'll need to be ready to pay $15 - $20 per gm. Lol and then there's essential oils and God help us "Dabbs". Which for all intents and purposes is virtually pure THC. Another thing that I've seen changed is how people today tend to use it. Back when I was doing it, most of us anyways, liked to just cop a decent buzz. Then carry on with our days and lives. Made work, play and activities more fun and interesting. Today these kids think they're supposed to see how freaking blasted they can get in one sitting... Then stay that way. Smoking bowl after bowl. Joint after joint. Bong rip after bong rip.. then the dabbing ffs. Personally I never enjoyed or even saw the point in getting so blasted out of my skull that I had no idea what was going on around me. Memory absolutely shit and care less about anything that bears any semblance of responsibility. I just dont see the point. To have someone trying to explain something to me, but be so fked up that I have no idea what they're saying or any memory of what was even said to me. I digress .. I apologize that I got off the topic there a bit. But I'll be retiring in about 6-8 years. Once I do, all I'll need is what today is considered "mid", what we used to call Sinsamillia. Which was any Sativa strain that was grown without being exposed to pollinating male plants. Literally "without seed".. Sin-samil (lia) And some old school brown Turkish Hash. I'll be spinning myself up one fat tater each morning and a few shots of the hash throughout the day. Then tinker on my hot rods, motor cycles and Mazda Miata all day long listening to my old albums that I've managed to preserve and keep over the decades... Yep.. GenerationX. I'll relive the 1980's every day until my last one comes. No Boomer here. We're much cooler than those weirdos. 😁
