Sweet Pete Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Never seen any effect from salvia beyond a mild, shortlived trippy feeling and even then had to smoke loads just to get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you that it is perfectly possible to black out from too much coke. As in not remember. Theres nothing I'm not understanding from it i get entirely what you mean. I don't know at what part of taking spice you are supposed to be enjoying yourself but surely people taking it must be able to reach a happy medium with it and not crave more and more of it until it turns them into a zombie but f**k knows.

NorthernJambo Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 From the programme, the folk taking it we're basically saying it was like weed but a lot stronger, more intense high and a lot more addictive. These folk were in jail so were doing f**k all for the most part anyway. The escapism is indeed what seemed the attraction but the addictiveness and lengths they'd go to for it was frightening. And the high didn't look fun either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The state it had people in was quite frightening. I'm a try anything once type but f**k that. I go to Manchester quite a bit. It has got markedly worse in the last year particularly. It's like a Doctor Who set around Piccadilly Gardens with all the Jakies staring in to space and rattling. Could be a bit scary, but they seem incapable of any coordinated movement.

And the high didn't look fun either. But i have never seen anyone on weed freak out quite like that, a good number of them appear to be unable to breathe! The videos i have watched have reminded me of varying stages of zombie in films, some of them are fast and furious like the ones in 28 days later, some of them are slower and more cumbersome like the ones in Sean of the Dead and some of them resemble the ones that have been lying about in a swamp for months on end like in the Walking Dead. Fortunately for me i love Zombie films so i'm still up for doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyderspaceman Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Quote For those who haven't tried LSD, it's a bit like this. In spoilers in case it sets off epileptics. Different effect on different folk at different times maybe. I didn't get "visuals" much but music was incredible. Like being inside a three dimensional musical universe. ( I realise that description conveys feck all, you really had to be there.) I don't fancy taking it now. It takes out 24-36 hours of your time for a start. Hey, maybe micro-dosing would work.......

What I seen, folk just seemed pretty much unconscious and didn't describe it as fun or anything. f**k that. Drugs are meant to be fun/enhance your enjoyment?
