Cocaine and Heroin as safe as Marijuana?

[Dr. Steve Brule]

everytime i talk to some dingus of a porthead, they say ganja is safe because it comes from a natural, growing plant

Since Marijuana comes from a plant and is safe
Cocaine comes from the Coca Plant
Heroin comes from the Opium poppy plant
they are completely safe right?

I was thinking about mixing Cocaine and Opium in a syringe... since they come from plants they are safe right?? :)

[quido]

Just make sure the syringe is natural too.

[myriverse]

There's shrooms on my lawn. I can eatz? S'natural.

[Glenzig]

Cyanide is from plants too. Make sure you put some in your syringe. You're outa luck pal!!!

[Tibador]

You can eat poppy seeds all day long and you can also chew on coca leaves, its the process that makes it bad marijuana dry that shit out and smoke it mmkay might make you smarter.

[quido]

I ate 4 marijuanas today

[BurgyK]

How did it make you feel?

[katrik]

For your health

[Glenzig]

It obviously won't make you smarter in the area of punctuation.

[runlvlzero]

If people refined ganja into it's purest form and OD'd on it like crazy, yeah it would prob wreck ur shit. Needless to say opium flowers and cocaine leaves are completely safe for long term use. But I don't see either for sale at the local grocer.

I'm sure opium tea is no more harmful than camomile, probably does have some good health benefits, or a few drinks fermented with a bit of opium.

It would probably be a better alternative then many drugs proscribed by big pharma for ADhD, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, etc...

[runlvlzero]

To be simple about it. It would prob be hard to impossible to OD on eating or smoking cocaine leaves or brewing tea from it or chewing them 24/7 or have any really negative health affects, other then maybe a lot of stimulant like coffee.

But cocacola and BAYER (nazi motherfuckers) want you to die and be paying $$ for tylonol and other shit like meth

[Sirken]

Coke - schedule 2
Heroin - schedule 1
Weed - schedule 1

Do some research on GMOs. Bees, nutritional value, displacement of better addapted crop for $$ cash crop etc... it's not about how dangerous genetic engineering is.

Also patents and government coercion and legal battles over food crops etc..

Don't be a mad ignorant fgt. People who say "GMO's super safe cause SCIENCE = win" just as fucking blind and faithful and ignorant as the religious nutjobs who say only what god makes is good.

Everything is shades of grey. And honestly I would prefer a lot less cheap ass GMO corn filler in my beef jerky.

[runlvlzero]

Part of the bee problem is because GMO is encouraging the increasing the use of pesticides.

[runlvlzero]

The GMO companies are not selecting for environmentally conscious adaptations that make the plants better. They are selecting for control and dominance of certain markets and profit.

sorry but you sound like those wide-eyed ex-hippies that preach this shit outside of whole foods. exactly what research is there showing that the nutritional value is different in GMOs? also, if non-GMOs were better adapted for survival, why are they getting displaced?

for someone calling blind faith and ignorance, you sure sound ignorant. learn2reason

I'm not going to google it for mad firegiant nightriders like u, because it's not my job to SJW you're ass. I just think your a dumb fuck.

you're welcome to think my opinion is dumb :)

You're just going to have to trust me on blind faith that it's a well informed dumb ass opinion, you semantic prick.

No I just have better things to do than devote energy to firegiants right now, like red wine quest for blueberry faction and thinking happy thoughts to make the universe a better place.

i loves me a rustle, before that rush hour bustle

[runlvlzero]

hehe, anyway in deference to you're opinion i don't think GMOs are the end of the world as we know it type shit and I don't think it will be bad overall in the long run. And who knows, maybe it is good in some places, I just havn't seen that many positive reports of how awesome they are except for a few well payed for mouthpieces.

Sorry for the backhanded compliment. I think GMO will be gr8 on mars 1 day.

Stupid af. Neither cocaine or heroin is "naturally occuring". Both require long extractions using harsh chemicals. Weed is safe just cause it's safe, not cause it is a plant. Heroin and coke are both fine too if the manufacturers were legit and everyone who handled it between manufacturer and you didn't fuck around and cut it, and assuming you are able to keep usage under control.

Tl;dr being a plant doesn't make anything innocuous, weed is, but not because "it's natural brooo"

For those of you incapable of basic understanding I'll quote the important bit; "[I]t is my considered opinion that including marijuana in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act is counter to all the scientific evidence in a society that uses and values empirical evidence,” Dr. Hart declared. “After two decades of intense scientific inquiry in this area, it has become apparent the current scheduling of cannabis has no footing in the realities of science and neurobiology.”


Not to mention the wasted tax dollars and the harm that has been caused to American families. A close family friend of mine, when he was a child, experienced a DEA raid. Weird thing about it? They had like 10 plants between the 2 parents and all charges were dropped. But that didn't stop the police from swarming in and putting assault rifles in the face of children. These weren't drug addicts, these were normal people with rights, children and a home.

[paulgiamatti]

Neither cocaine or heroin is "naturally occuring".

Nor is medicinal marijuana, or hash oil, or THC-infused edibles, and so forth.

Weed is safe just cause it's safe, not cause it is a plant.

This is on point, however...

Heroin and coke are both fine too if the manufacturers were legit and everyone who handled it between manufacturer and you didn't fuck around and cut it, and assuming you are able to keep usage under control.

This is absolutely not true. It doesn't matter how pure or clean it is - cocaine and heroin kill people; marijuana simply doesn't. Countless people overdose on hard drugs every single year, largely in combination with alcohol or other pharmaceuticals. The idea that addiction would no longer be a problem - that people would just suddenly stop overdosing and dying from these drugs if only they could get their hands on purer, better forms of it - is terribly misguided.

Chewing a cocaine tree leaf ( IDK the genus aint going to hurt u )

Stop wasting government funded tax payer money on thugs and forcing people to not use and banning. That is an impossible mission and will never succeed. It's a joke and spiritually corrupt. It's not how the universe works. All indications fanatical or logical otherwise indicate that if you want people to stop using drugs, don't abuse them.

^ um ok tell that to iggy pop and steven tyler

it dont kill everyone... handle your shit!!!

^^ too each their own I'm not scared of Iggy

[paulgiamatti]

Alright, so I would approach Iggy Pop and Steven Tyler and say, "Hello Iggy Pop and Steven Tyler, did you know that thousands of people overdose on hard drugs every single year?" To which they might respond, "Why yes, Paulgiamatti of P99, we did know that!"

I mean, I'm pretty sure that's how the conversation would go. How would that discredit these facts from being true? Hard drugs kill people, marijuana doesn't. It doesn't matter how many people have done hard drugs without fatally overdosing - they still kill people.

You're confusing tyranny and controlling other people with seeking justice for people unjustly killed by immoral drug dealers. Yet we turn a blind eye to pharmacuticals.

There's already plenty of regulation on the books for manslaughter. We do not need additional drug laws. We need a judicial system that works.

[runlvlzero]

One final addition, most of the drug stuff is controlled by regulatory agencies with little to no direct oversight by the people or even most elected officials, just one or two singular politicians can appoint anyone they want and those people are more susceptible to bribery, coercion and less visible to the public than you would like to think.

How bout we fix our humanity issues b4 we become dumb firegiants about cocaine?

I'm stating the facts about cocaine and hard drugs, nothing else.

consider urself informed, drugs not even on that list, maybe a small factor under suicide, but plenty people commit suicide without drugs, so correlation not causation

[paulgiamatti]

Hard drugs still kill people. Pointing to other things that kill more people doesn't make this less true.

I don't know anything personally about cocaine or heroin, except what anyone can find out about it from info available.

But I've smoked, eaten, vaporized marijuana for 20 years now and learned a few things about it.

Burning any material will create carbonized tar in your lungs, its much safer to eat or vaporize it, plus you can consume much larger quantities in that manner without mistaking your assphixiated (pardon my spelling lol) lungs and dying brain cells as a better more complete effect of the marijuana itself.

Also if you eat marijuana, you get the anti-inflammatory properties of it, so is great for athletes for muscle pain releif and allowing your body to heal better, or for anyone suffering physical conditions which include alot of pain in the first place, of course given that taking marijuana with your condition doesnt somehow amount to making it worse because of person biology or interaction that may be caused with other drugs you are taking.

Vaporizing marijuana will allow you to "smoke" it as much as you want for as long as you want, at that point it really all depends on your own personaly tolerance and how far you want to push the effects on your body? vape a pinch for 10 minutes, or go through an oz in 24 hours straight vaping, do what you like, no carbon, no tar, no dead brain cells (well who knows, alot of anything can probably be bad for you! Pretty damn logical sense to me!)

It can also be great not just for physical pain releif, but if you are anyone who suffers condition that lead to insomnia, high stress anxiety, lack of apetite, or extreme mental behavior, it can be a godsend for getting you to sleep, eat, feel calmed or whatever feeling you need to bring you back to a normal manageable level, given the certain conditions you have, and of course its not gonna help the same for everybody or every condition, and also you gotta know it wont interact with whatever other crazy pills your doctor got you on till the day u die.

I had horrible anxiety and stress that led to insomnia in high school, i used to be so anti-drug i would bully people about it, making fun of how they go get high, like it was some dependancy they needed.

Then I gave it a shot, and it releived not only my insomnia, but it helped me deal with working out some common sense understandings that led to releif of alot of the understandings i had that led to the stress and anxiety i had in the first place, now i dont let things bother me, i enjoy the good things in life more without letting the bad get in the way, the old me probably woulda blew his brains out, but now nothing can be too extreme to keep me from enjoying even the simplest of things, and for me thats where the argument ends on whether its good or bad for me, it helped save my life, and mad eme a better person to myself and others, so im not gonna pine about the brain cells i lost form the years ago when i still smoked it, im sure just as many teenagers burned theyre brains drinking themselves blind and into amnesia.

Oh by the way, i quit smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol (at least to the extremes anyways) i can still enjoy a beer and a cigaretee when i want to, but they arent the end all substance i feel i need.

Also i dont consume much marijuana either anymore, i find the more you do it, overtime you will find that when you first get into it you cant get enough, but as you get older, the dependancy you thought you had on it reduces to the point where it's just an occasional thing again.

Whereas back in my teenage years i would smoke about 7 grams a day on average,. now i might consume one weed cookie with about a gram, or smoke/vape maybe a grams worth once or twice a week. But i can still have my benders without feeling bad about it.

Mostly the cut back is about cost, i dont want to spend as much effort getting more of it, so naturally i use it alot less.

But one cannot simply debate whether something is only good or bad for you, like everyone inthis world we all have some different ticks about our mental and physical make up, and like with any substance there comes levels of tolerance.

Some pople might find it gives them really bad add and they cant function at all while on it, othe rpeople can be jet pilots doing sideways 180's 300 feet above the ground at 600kmh after vaporizing marijuana for a few hours! who knows but doctors and science why some people could have problems and others could not.

I guess you really gotta try it to know, if it reacts well with you and you think it could be beneficial it probably is, if you have a negative experience or it gives you the idea its a problem for you, maybe it is then too.

It really is different person to person.

The truth is some people shouldnt be allowed to cross the street on the stuff, while others can perform surgery, build nuclear reactors, and fly jets like a pro with better concentration then they ever had sober. I dunno, obviously you cant take one persons example as your own to whether or not it could be bad for you, it will be slightly or more different from person to person.

I guess thats all i gots to say about it, and i apoligize for my typing, i flip my fingers lazily on my keyboard wihtout caring about grammer or typing, or proper sentence structure, just imagine that im so baked right now i cant be bothered to care about these tiny details that might push some to the edge of thier own insanities, CHEERS!

[harnold]

Lol what kind of conversations does the OP get into with potheads? Here is an example:

OP- "Hey man what did you do last night? Spent all night playing everquest and then a few hours acting like a jackass on the forum"

Jim- "Thats cool dude i was smoking pot".

OP- "Thats terrible and makes me mad! Don't you know its dangerous??!!" (another 2 minutes of babble about it)

Jim- "Uhh whatever dude its natural, i've got to go dude bye"

OP- "Wait! You smoked pot and it made me angry! What am I going to do?"

Jim- "I don't even know you dude get away from me. Why don't you go post on your forum you loser"


(OP makes this thread)

[Nuktari]

someone told me one time that to reach the toxicity levels of marijuana, you'd have to smoke 70,000 times what you normally smoke to get high, in one hit.

Cocaine by itself is pretty harmless.
Crack cocaine isn't good for you.

Heroin by itself is addictive.
It's probably not good for you.

Weed's harmless and should be legalized in all forms and regulated - certainly not as harmful as nicotine, which is legalized.

[paulgiamatti]

Cocaine is relatively harmless, but there are still documented cases of overdosage, usually in conjunction with other drugs.

Weed, no matter how much of it you smoke or eat or vape, has so very rarely been the culprit for an overdose - either alone or as the tipping factor - that you can easily say it just simply doesn't happen.

now that everybody realizes all weed does is make you complacent and hungrier for bread and circus, legalization is imminent

And no I am sorry, marijuana is not completely safe to all those who think it is. Talk to people who were pre-disposed to mild dissociative disorders or anxiety/ depression and marijuana tipped the scales against them. It is insanely common for this to happen. I will say it is infinitely more harmless than heroin and even synthetic pot, which is incredibly dangerous, but it is not without risk (which I am aware you can say of legal drugs).
