I will happily delete that post if you wish me to do so.
At no point was i trying to cause offence to anyone.
You made your post sound like a group of kids vandalising something, when in actual fact you were referring to someone you know having a violent outburst.
I have no scientific evidence but my view is that the violence must have been there in the first place. The weed may have bought it to the surface but it did not create it.
No, it's been quoted too much by now. I wish I hadn't written that sentence in the first place. It's totally irrelevant to everything I've been trying to say anyway.
I assumed that's what you were thinking which was why I thought you wouldn't mind if it went.
I appreciate the offer, though.
And one good thing. I've wasted all afternoon trying to read up on cannabinoids and THC. And got absolutely nowhere.
With work, or with this subject.
Thanks again.

Drugs are a bet with your mind

It's like gambling somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don't know where you're going to end up the next day. It could work out good or it could be disastrous. It's like the throw of the dice.

Wow, what a great debate!
I detest drugs use, but I can't really articulate my thinking properly, (ingrained thinking, I've always felt that), so I'll not comment further.
Except to say, I don't care if they do drugs, alcohol, ciggies, whatever. But when the guy is gratouisly offensive to fellow players at the Table, I think action needs to be taken. And I know that's not easy, but forget Drugs, & drug tests - his behaviour was abysmal, but he was allowed to continue without being censored by anyone - except us, the Players.
One female player was described as a "****ing racist", & he made repeated sexually offensive remarks.
Little wonder it's tough to attract non-poker Sponsors into the game, with all that lovely free money - for us - when we cannot police ourselves.
agreed. i have no problem with ppl doing drugs tho, but i was on said table for a time and his actions were way over the line. not only was he offensive to players, but at times he broke actual poker rules (trying to encourage calls when he wasnt in hand etc). it didnt overly bother me (not least b/c i bust after 40mins of getting to the table), but i can see why it could cause a problem to others.
FWIW he pretty much admitted he was doing coke, but i am fairly sure that wasnt poppers he openly did. but like i say, i couldnt care less what drug any1 does whilst playing poker - how people conduct themselves at the table is how i would judge them.

Also i think the info your looking for is pretty straight forward.
Skunk, weed etc normally refer to the leafs of the plant unprocessed, just dried out.
Hash, is the thc, mixed with all kinds of crap and processed into little bars that you burn and crumble.
Dont think it matters whether the plants are inside or outside.
I dont know that much about hash because its horrible! imo
and to quote the first sensible reference in this thread i will refer to a group of welsh researchers who wrote a song about their findings during researching hash
it tastes like sh!t and makes you cough and its the f*ucking rubber in it that gets you off yeah i smoke soapbar with lots of bits of plastic i leaves mine in it cause it tastes fantastic skunk costs too much i cant see the appeal
of smoke pork rocky soapbar or gold seal you smoke rocky in a bong like in a hot night or bake it in a cake for you mam as a suprise i smoke screen and its gone in an instant but soapbar lasts cause its f*cking consistent
The strenghth/thc of a weed plant is normally chemically altered these days, the seeds from these plants are then hybrids.
I dont know the first thing about cannabinoids!!!
But luckily i know a man who does

How very dare you?
Tell you what i think this thread has given me an idea.
Blonde Bash 7
We will split into teams, drunks, stoners, cokeheads, people chasing the dragon, and ravers.
Obviously depending on your team, you will have to keep yourself in enough of a mess on your teams drug.
Anyone who actually passes a random drugs test will be removed from the tournament.
Now that would make for an interesting scientific study!

We think as one on this.

If you have another group for dribbly old vicks sniffers, I might well be tempted.

Dr. Pepper FTW! What's the worst that could happen?
I've learned a lot from this thread and will watch the Poker Hand Analyses with interest.
It's always important to identify an opponent's 'range'.
So I'm sitting there on the button with
and UTG reraises all-in. Based on previous play I have him narrowed down to coke, speed, or weed. SB/BB both on E which will give me the pot odds, so I call.

I started to post a reply to this at 5.00 pm with my experiences of smoking and growing weed over the last 20 years and correcting some of the ill-educated untruths being bandied about but after a few smokes and about 20 attempts to write a coherent post I can't be arsed anymore.
What was the question again?
