im on day 3 of not smoking

[gwa]

good shit man good luck!

but i am still smoking a little amount of tobacco each day

[jameshk]

I used to smoke too much, now im just on the rollies. Weirdly enough im a self proclaimed 'anti' social smoker. I smoke more when im at home and in the studio, than I do when im out with people.

I've never smoked, so according to the above thread, I'm more agile, and have better senses than you and because of this I will live longer and you will die young.

Kinda makes me wonder why people bothered smoking in the first place...

We're cooler than you though.

[gwa]

thanks for that ashley. really proud of you

[hackman]

when you die of a smoking related illness, you die because your time is up, not because you were smoking

in other words, if you had never smoked you would have still died at that point in your life anyway, in some other manner

just my opinion

*someone please insert a link to that story about the rich guy seeing death in the market in leeds (for example), getting scared and running away to manchester, then his servant goes to the market to confront death about scaring his master, then death apologises saying, i only was going to tell him about our meeting tomorrow in manchester*

[gwa]

it's not the potential death from smoking that scares me, it's being unfit.

[hackman]

join a gym

[crackf]

yeah i never got high last night and coughed up some butters shit this morning

(i dont smoke cigarettes never liked em)

But you just acknowledged in that sentence that people die from smoking.... hackman, you used to be smarter than this. Who stole your brain?

what in hell's name are you talking about?
If I smoke to the point where my arteries are way more filled with fat and cholesterol as a direct result of smoking (compared to if I had never smoked), then those blockages lead to a heart attack at the age of 50 and died then it would be safe to assume that had I not smoked, I would have lived longer.
Do you apply this logic to everything? Ting a mek sens now...

*i cut down, only smoke maybe a pack of 10 at wknds, no smoking at work etc, running more as well and feel much better for it.
also cut from 3/4 splarffs a night to 1 blount, much nicer and actually cheaper (and it's an expectorate, with no baccy it helps clear dem tunnels)

It'd be nice to be able to smoke a blunt every night but it'd be a bit overwhelming on a school day.. plus i like me solid innit m7

Is it hard to get solid now? I haven't seen any for years

[firky]

I have a lump of solid on my window sill, it's been there for at least a year. Horrible stuff.

[gwa]

in the past month ive had some really nice pollen (pollem? pollum?) , squidgy black and some semi decent soap bar.

it took me bloody ages to find it tho so i guess it is about. much nicer than heavy skunk

[nicenice]

Solid is weak, prefer a nice fat head and a game of monopoly.

[firky]

I like polm and good hashish but the majority of the stuff you get is awful. I remember when I was doing a presentation on the stuff for UKHRA (United Kingdom Harm Reduction Alliance) , bunged in an 1/2oz in water over night and let it break down. The shit that came out of it was horrible, bits of insect, twigs, plastic, grit, etc. I didn't really need to explain to the audience why you should stick to green if you can get it.
