By the way, Mr. Weed looks menacing not because he's a tough guy or a bad person, but because he likes when other people think of him as a dangerous weirdo - it amuses him to no end. But in reality, he's a goody-two-shoes who wouldn't crush an ant. Here, have an another cute video of me petting Bobbie with camera up close, while Mr. Weed is strumming.

A SWEATY FATBEARD posted:Heck, even I don't know what that technique is. Care to introduce the two of us about that technique? That's how we used to roll then when I was a wee lad in school. What you do is you put the rolling paper with the glue edge on the outside. You roll it up and the glue ends up behind the outside layer of paper, you lick the glue through the outside making sure the outside paper is wet enough that it permeates through and activates the glue on the inside, but not so wet that the paper tears. After the glue dries a bit you carefully tear off or burn off the excess paper on the outside. It sounds like a lot of work but once you get the hang of it it's easy. The benefit is that you're not smoking all that paper and it looks better too.

We then got her a blanket so she wouldn't catch a cold and let her sleep it off. In the morning however, she had a few beers at a cafe and something broke in her brain or something, she just can't take her liquor (but she sure loves drinking it!) so Mr Weed had to phone me so that the two of us would carry her home. Again. She then passed out once again, and then Mr Weed CALLED HER MOM to come over and pick up her wasted daughter. The poor woman was extremely embarrassed, and no wonder, the two of us had to carry the girl to her mom's car. How she got her out of the car, I have no idea, but I wouldn't be surprised if she called an ambulance due to acute alcohol poisoning. The drunks usually spend a few days in a looneybin, sobering up, and this girl was so wasted that I suppose it would've taken her at least three days to come to her senses. But all is good that ends good, we had a good time and nothing bad happened to the girl. Oh, and Mr Weed thought he packed a sweater in his bag, turned out he took his longjohns by mistake and it was really cold outside. We would have called a cab anyway.

Nova88 posted:I forget, what's your job situation atm, you still trying to find one? I'm a professionally unemployed beard grower who gets by by renting out two apartments I own. In fact a week or so from now, I'll be going to the medical commission because I'm looking to get on the welfare train. I'm not actively looking for a job because the medication I'm taking is trashing my brain, and not in a particularly good way. To put it simply, I'm senile at 36. You can explain all kinds of stuff to me, but I'd forget we had a conversation about 20 seconds later. To make the matters worse, I'm a forklift and truck driver. The meds are making me woozy and I absolutely should not drive anything. Besides, you don't often hear a guy saying this, but I'll admit that I'm a terrible driver. When I took the forklift at the last job I had, I rammed the forks into the bosses office, and then wrecked the folding ramp doors because I didn't pay attention to the goddamn forks. Good thing I didn't get anyone killed with the machine.

OK, normally I'd be on the "haha yeah I'm suuuuure it's the prescribed drugs" side, but guys, promazine is a literal horse tranquilizer. It's a 1950s-era antipsychotic that's no longer approved for human use in the US, but it IS still used by veterinarians to calm "fractious" horses. 50s/60s psychiatric drugs are a wild loving ride. The stupor that first-gen antipsychotics caused was considered a sign that they were working! Much respect to you, ASF, old-rear end-drug buddy. I take an ancient antidepressant that was removed from the market for a few years in the 60s because it killed some people, and it took a while for them to figure out why.

That's it. I'm oficially burned out from all the drugs. I did a ton of speed paste the last few weeks, and decided to call it quits after I pissed my bed profusely - I mean, it wasn't just a small whiz, I somehow produced a man-sized pool of piss in the bed which even soaked the pillow. I had to flip the mat after blowing my trusty old shop fan onto it for a whole day, and yet the mat still hasn't dried out completely - before flipping, sitting on the mat was like sitting on a wet kitchen sponge (which is gross for a number of reasons.) For some reason, the mat doesn't smell of piss too much, the pee was obviously very diluted with water. Where did I store all that bloody pisswater, now that's a question for the ages! I am now in a very strange position where 1) I'm taking my drugs AS PRESCRIBED, 2) am not addicted to any illegal substance, and 3) being relatively able-bodied for work. One negative thing remains with me and it's the tobacco. The tobacco I'm smoking now was bought by mr weed and while the baccy looks decent enough, it has a revolting taste which results in machine-gun coughing even in someone who's been smoking for 20+ years. Mr weed gave it to me, like, try smoking this and if you can't, just throw it away because it's godawful. I got me an asthma inhaler so I'd be able to smoke it (which is dumb and gay.) So one last hurdle for me before joining the workforce again is smoking. I would very much like to quit smoking because I feel that tobacco is killing me on the inside. After I had my surgery, I only cared about one thing - a ciggy - and I was devastated when they wouldn't let me blaze it in the hospital room. By the way, it's incredibly easy to bum smokes at the hospital. Just walk over to the maternity ward where extremely worried daddies-to-be are waiting for the news that their wife gave birth. They will usually be chain smoking from nervousness, and once their wife gives birth, they'll be overjoyed and might even give you a whole pack of cigs, not just one or two. Hell, I chain-smoked at the hospital even though I forgot my wallet at home. I have a book called "easyway to stop smoking" written by a guy who died out of lung cancer. I actually did not smoke for a few months after reading the book, but that was ages ago. I still have the book so I'll read it again one of these days - it's not like my schedule is very busy or something. The thing about smoking is that if you're a smoker, surrounded by nonsmoking coworkers, your frequent smoking breaks can cause a lot of friction between you and them, and that's something I'd rather avoid. Therfore - quit smoking, get a job, everybody is hiring.

Don’t push yourself too hard, ASFB. Focus on maintaining and worry about the cigarettes later. You’ve been doing it a long time, and a little longer won’t hurt. Many rehabs I’ve been in don’t bother trying to get people to stop smoking and while they are in care doing the hard stuft. Tobacco is its own separate beast. Glad you are doing well! And for fucks sake buy a new mattress like right now

Many rehabs I’ve been in don’t bother trying to get people to stop smoking and while they are in care doing the hard stuft. Tobacco is its own separate beast. You know, I think you're right about not quitting cigarettes for now. I often get up at witching hours just so I'd shuffle around the apartment for a few minutes and light a smoke, like everybody shuffled in the looneybin corridor, and there was a very popular spot at the end of the hallway and it was the smoking room. People generally ignored the communal room with a TV for two reasons, first, the chairs were very uncomfortable, and second, there was this burly guy who'd sit there all day long and talk to the TV, which was beyond annoying to witness. Tortuga posted:I don't want to sound like a twat, but vaping is a pretty decent move for such a hardened smoker. I got on the vaping bandwagon very early on, and had no end of trouble with leaking tanks and having to constantly spit out the ejuice that would get into my mouth.

You'd probably be better off picking up half smoked butts off the street. Why do that to yourself? It's obviously gone way off. So goons finally figured out that I'm not above picking up half-smoked butts out of the trashcans and recycling them by smoking them to the end. I never voiced this, but goons are onto me. The Butcher posted:You've got enough money, how much could a legit fresh pack of rolling tobacco cost there? poo poo's relatively cheap everywhere. It's like five bucks for a tiny baggy, legal tobacco is really expensive when compared to my miniscule purchasing power. The bootleg poo poo I'm smoking now is a reject, even by bootleg standards. It'll probably turn out that I won't even try to quit smoking. Tobacco relieves me of akathisia which is a side effect of neuroleptic drugs. That's why I said that I often get up in the middle of the night so I'd shuffle around the apartment a bit and smoke a ciggy before returning to bed some ten minutes later. I still have to be kind to myself and let the things slowly stabilize. I cold turkeyed tramadol and speed, it wasn't fun. Besides, I have hospital stuff coming up so that's another reason why I'm not in a hurry to either quit smoking or look for a job. But this state shouldn't drag on for months obviously.

You're doing a hell of a lot harm reduction in the short term by kicking the trams and speed (did you combine them? Is that worthwhile at all??), be proud of that. weird that cigarettesare the one addictive substance that are too expensive to buy the nice kind of. I guess you might be aware of this but smoking is exremely prevalent in people with schizophrenia and related disorders for whatever reason. So while you can definitely quit (vaping has gotten wayyyy better in a decade too), some of the medication you've mentioned being on makes me think you might belong to that group, and have a harder time quitting/some natural gravitation towards smoking more than others might have.

I decided to quit combining trams and speed after I had a seizure on the street, on the 1st of May, while going to a party over at my friend's. Funny thing, one of the invitees was a prison doctor, and I was so high that I told him everything about where I'm getting my trams and poo poo. The guy understood me fully, but he didn't seem to be quite impressed by what happened on the street, some 15 minutes prior - you start talking tramadol and you know where this is going to end up at.
