remember when weed used to be chill? i do. but over the last decade, in many western states and now across the nation weed has stopped being chill. everyone's favourite plant is no longer grown and delivered by their friends and neighbours. it's sealed up in little containers and sold back to them by rich dudes that don't even blaze. america's last cottage industry is being regulated and handed over to the fat cats under the guise of "legalization" that's why i think it's time for opium. i know it sounds crazy but hear me out. it's still federally illegal, and it will be for a long time. i'm pretty sure you can smoke it in pipes and bongs and stuff so all that still works. it comes straight from a plant with no processing needed other than drying it out, sound familiar? all natural baby. milk of the poppy. by purchasing it these days you're providing much needed wealth transfer to disadvantaged people across the globe, and if someone you know wants to start growing it in national parks you could support them and that'd be cool just a thought. pic unrelated ![]() |

I THINK and this is maybe wrong, any old poppy can be made into a drug if you cut the pods and harvest the excretion and then process it i mean i know old hobo road dogs who buy bulk poppy seeds and make low level opiate tea daily so

There are so many good recreational and safe drugs out there op, what convinced you to root for opium in specific? What's the pro/con situation here and on a scale of 1 to 10, how many joints do you need to get high on opium?

What's the pro/con situation here and on a scale of 1 to 10, how many joints do you need to get high on opium? i'm not really stuck on opium in particular, my issue here is that as stated in the title "weed isn't chill anymore". i guess opium came to mind for well... the reasons stated in the op i worked so hard on ![]() ![]() sure there's a scary association with heroin and all the pharmaceuticals derived from it, but these days the crazy weed extracts at the stores are closer to that sort of thing than honest, all natural opium would be. you need torches and stuff to smoke them and it's not very chill at all. i don't know how many joint it will take to get high on opium, but i look forward to finding out

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:It's one of those off things where intent matters a whole lot as i understand it and I just look at them and save the seeds to cook with. If i started milking the pods with the intent to manufacture a narcotic, that would be bad. I'd honestly rather grow the red corn poppies but they don't do as well here. The seeds came to me through a few different hands but started out in some old cajun lady's yard and I don't think she was a heroin dealer. she sounds chill and the process of those seeds coming into your hands is exactly what i'm talking about here. i don't think she was a heroin dealer either, that's an unchill association we'll have to deal with if we want this opium thing to take off, but that she probably wasn't ignorant of the properties of what she grew pros: *all-natural *can be easily smoked/shared *organic *fair trade *locally sourced cons: *addictive?

Add to pros/cons lists: Pro: *stops you from pooping to death if you have diarrhea *fast acting, chillls you the gently caress out *opium-eater is possibly a cooler word than stoner *mad old-school *you can mix it with booze and get drunk and high at the same time and laudanum is a cool word Cons: *makes you constipated *pretty addictive *may start wars with imperial china (possibly also a pro-depends on the perspective I guess)

Fleetwood Crack posted:Weed isn't legal here in the northeast so it's still chill for me. this "not my problem" attitude, while undeniably super chill, only hurts us all in the end. i'm sorry but weed won't just stay chill where you are forever anyways i've been thinking about the pooping thing. multiple people in this thread brought this to my attention so i did another online search when i got back from my walk and it's true. my search was complicated by the fact that "opium poops" and "opium pooping" are very similar queries to "opium poppies" and so did not at first return discrete results, but it's true: if you blaze down on opium you won't poop right. sources say your poops will be 'dry and hard' and 'require significant muscle contraction effort to effectively eliminate...from the body' that doesn't sound chill at all. it was for a minute when i was giggling about 'opium poopies' but the reality is more complicated than that. while some might argue that not even bothering to poo poo is a whole new level of chill i disagree. to me that sounds ice cold (but if you think about it too much isn't ice cold just another level of chill?) and i don't know if i'm ready to go there. i'm sorry guys. i thought i had something there. but at the same time this sort of workshopping is exactly the type of support needed to help address the real issue here: weed is becoming less and less chill by the day. for millions of people across the country, myself included, it's already not chill at all. it's super lame, and i've visited places where i would even have to say it's bogus. if we don't find an alternative soon i am honestly concerned that the skills of tunin in turnin off and just fuckin kickin' back as a community will be lost on a generational level, and that is the saddest thing i can even imagine. the weed house is always the band house too, where will the bands play? music doesn't pay poo poo, gigs are hard to get, venues are expensive. if you listen to cool music it probably wouldn't have been able to exist if weed wasn't chill. i don't know where i'd be today if weed hadn't been chill when i was growing up, and i fear for the sanity of anyone trying to grow up without a genuinely chill experience available to participate in. maybe they will hack up some sort of virtual reality cyberstatic chillzone and everything will be alright. maybe that's what this is. maybe they already have and i'm getting old and out of touch. all i really know is that weed isn't chill anymore, and i wish that it was

If you really want to support the underground, op, Mr. Dick is pretty sure you can still pick up barrel weed to help fund drug cartels.
