Are you turning into a closet Protestant :laugh_at:?
Seriously though prohibition of alcohol, tobacco and other psychedelic substances (that often found their way into beer, wine and gin in Catholic areas of Northern Europe) was also a major part of the Reformation 5 centuries ago; and it was the worst of this bunch who also founded America.
I totally accept that they are harmful – but what worries me about this argument is it can be (and sometimes is) used to justify even more extreme prohibition.
In Germany a pack of decent cigarettes is less than €6, booze is equally affordable yet even with their increasingly senior population their health services aren’t collapsing and there is enough tax money from these “sinful” items to fund them…

Oh you’re right GL and maybe I could have worded that better, I’m not gonna be seeking to have anything banned at all as the problems become much bigger, more violent, more expensive, more health threatening, and do fuck all to stop anyone doing them.

Misguided child, mix 9% proof beer with cola then you’ve got what I like to call ‘Colabeer’, a policeman once told me it’s illegal to do this so that must make it extra fun! And Tobacco is Cannabis’s best mate, you’re too fucking bongaloid trypie!!!
Mixing cannabis with tobacco I don’t really enjoy, as I say, I love my bongs.
Thing about tobacco is IT HAS ZERO MEDICAL BENEFITS which sticks it a schedule 1 controlled substance by anyones definition. In fact, it causes more medical damage than almost any other compound. Alcohol at least does impair your ability to function and at the same time seems to make people believe they can drive still as long as they go faster and travel as if the roads were not straight but more like a sine wave.

A bong is just a blast but a spliff lasts, there is a middle path to this: ‘the lung’, the lung is a bong you put spliff into and fill a bag full of smoke, you get a plastic bottle, cut it in half make a spliff hole in it using a knife or pointy tool, then about 3 centre metres above the spliff hole you place the rush hole, then you get a black plastic bag and attach it to the end of the plastic bottle that isn’t the smaller pouring end with an elastic band or duct tape.
Using the lung is more of an art than a science; when pulling on your joint through the bottle pull out the plastic bag keep one finger over the rush hole, then when you’re ready for your hit push the bag softly inwards and release the rush hole.
What we used as a kid, which we called clouds but some others called them lungs, was a 2 liter plastic bottle with bottom removed and an empty bread bag taped around the bottom so the bag could be sucked up into the bottle. The part where the cap screwed on had a chillum placed inside filled with weed and as that was burned the bag was pulled down pulling many liters of thick smoke into it. This was then done in 1.
Similar to a bucket which used a bucket of water and no need for a bread bag, just a bottle with bottom chopped off. Now they fucked you up.
fuck what I said earlier I’d have total anarchy:
