    yes, skip, but some people CALL PCP "embalming fluid," which it obviously is not. this nickname has inadvertantly led to the myth that actual embalming fluid (formaldehyde) can be used to get high or to lace weed. of course this practice is extremely dangerous and potentially lethal, but that doesn't mean misuse of formaldehyde doesn't occur.

    of course i'd be surprised if you didn't know this, i'd expect you misinterpreted his question as to asking if PCP WAS embalming fluid....

    I don't have age stats, but from what I can recall, there is no correlation other than they're all smokin weed.

    There's also some new scientific studies that support more mental illness resulting from chronic use. You wouldn't believe what they're saying here in Australia about it. The official gov't line these days & the anti-drug TV commercials & news reports. I think their most effective message is: "You don't know what it will do to you." That's as close to the truth as they get. It's a great fear provoking tactic too. Just like the old paraquat stories.

    btw skip - i know this is wildly off topic....but you know how long i've been here and how many posts i've made....any ideas why my post counter at one point dropped from thousands to a few hundred? i really don't care, its not like the number of posts i make boost my ego (quite the contrary....means i'm wasting too much of my life on the computer lol) but i'm just curious as to what may have caused this

    The only PCP i've ever seen (& ingested) was a white powder. Fluid it ain't. Kinda hard to control dose & snort.

    people mix it with water sometimes, dip a joint or cig or something in it. just like ketamine can be a powder, acid can be a powder, but both also come in a liquid form as well

    I totaly agree with the organic approach, all the way for
    me given the choice. Also Thai weed is some of the best
    I have ever had the priveledge to smoke and it wasn't in
    A'dam either but the UK. Infact it was all I could get for
    2 years a long time ago then it stopped for good, needless
    to say we were all heartbroken.

    100%, organically grown true Thai grass is electric stuff,
    very excitable, paranoia free and very productive.
    No ''couch lock'' with that stuff.
    Organic for me please, anyday.

    Further still, if you mix tobacco with your weed to make
    a joint, the particular tobacco can also have a crucial
    effect. I never use ''tailored'' cigs (too many chemicals),
    instead I use rolling backy.

    i think the complaint e-mail to non complaint e-mail rqatio is off, since you usually only hear about complaining. someone who will smoke, have a great time, with no bad effects is far less likely to write you an e-mail saying so, then someone who passes out after a few hits, or has long lasting negative effects is.

    i think you have a point, ive smoked for about 2 years and in that time ive had only 4 or 5 negative times,3 where from because i was sick i had penomia and i smoked and i got VERY short of breath at the time i didnt have penomia so i started freaking out it wasnt a panic attack but it definitly killed the high i didnt have fun,then i happend again this time from allerges and my lung filled with flem and i coughed up green flem,so i stoped smokeing for some month untill my alerges stoped after that i was fine, the other time where from almost being busted by my mom, like her asking if i was high or her comeing home early and i had to hide i was high, i ahve anxeity disorder and i smoke and it helps me ive never had a fullblow panic attack on any drug other then coke and DXM,ive never had bad side effects just from weed its self it was always so other factor in there somewhere, maybe these people have anxiey or mental problems or are sick and dont realise it

    I've never had a bad time smoking. I smoke in moderation, though.

    ""If it aint Dutch, it aint much." At least that's what my friends in Holland say. "

    What a crock. It has no meaning whatsoever, and the Dutch don't have that much to brag about, esp. these days. The only purpose it serves is to boost their own self-esteem, which has been running pretty low. In fact it can be viewed as being racist, esp. since the Dutch have been cracking down on immigration. Actually it sounds more like something the Nazi's would've said about Germany, to justify their extermination policies. It works it's evil on a subconscious level. To this day, it's also something the Japanese believe about themselves, that they're superior to other races.

    And then there's the Americans who think their country is "the greatest country in the world". This is brainwashed into them as children, and so they all think it's true, without ever really defining what makes it the greatest, or even bothering to visit another country to see if it even makes sense to say something like that.

    I really despise cliched expressions like this that mean nothing and are as far from the truth as anything, yet get repeated endlessly by mindless morons.

    Another one that always pops up in my face is Janis Joplin's line:
    "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose"

    I get people wanting to add that to Hippy.com's freedom quotes, but it's completely meaningless, especially in today's world. These things, because they become so cliched, remove the more important meanings of such words as Freedom from people's minds, and all they can think of when they hear the word Freedom is Janis' extremely perverted line, like it was some universal truth.

    BTW, not to denigrate Janis, who I respect, in the CONTEXT of her song "Me and Bobby McGee", that line does make sense, but taken out of context and used to define Freedom itself, it makes NO FUCKING SENSE, PEOPLE! So stop asking me to add it to the site.

    Thank you for indulging my off-topic response.

    Uh, that's my point the one thing oppressed people DON'T have is freedom! So to say Freedom = nothing left to lose, makes no sense, taken out of context of that song.

    It does make sense when you say you have nothing but your freedom, as Janis and many of us had in the 1960s. When we left our homes and hit the road, we took only some clothes and a few personal items. We had few material possessions, but we were FREE! And of course it applies to relationships as Kris kristofferson wrote in that song, Bobby Mcgee was a girl who left him. But FREEDOM itself is another issue entirely.

    Unfortunately that kind of freedom is rare nowadays, as the establishment has seen to it that ppl are slaves to the system now.

    Yeah, I've been throwing it down my lungs... ;)

    Actually I've got good stuff, and really haven't had a problem with anything in a long time, cause I know where it comes from and how it's grown usually. In fact it IS time for a toke... Thanks for reminding me.

    ^ ah, that wonderful, albeit expected, result. Gotta love da ganja.

    To stay on topic, I haven't had, or heard of anyone having, any problems with their weed like the ones spoken of in this thread. Just my cousin taking a hit so big that he was burping up smoke and later threw up. Which was all hillarious at the time, let me tell you...haha.
