I can kind of identify with that. I have a similar, albeit dangerous reaction reaction to alcohol. I sometimes get jealous that I just can't pop a bottle cap and get the instant enjoyment / relaxation that others seem to get. Two of my friends have schizo disorders... one reacts to weed like I imagine you do, the other seems OK with it in moderate amounts.

The proliferation of 'designer drugs' is worrying though. I wouldn't like to sniff the contents of anything I can get from a DIY or gardening store, but if other people want to do it, more fool them.

Look up Krocodil (heroin substitute made in domestic kitchens using codeine as an ingredient), which is widespread in parts of Russia and Eastern Europe. The average life expectancy of a Kroc user is 18 months once they become addicted. Very upsetting.

I did a lot of herbage in my 20's + LSD. I got fed up with it after a while, & stayed off it when trying to get pregnant, during pregnancy, & after because I didn't want to be a dumb-ass parent. I did smoke a few times after that, but just didn't enjoy the high., so I don't anymore.

I can't judge people who smoke pot. It's less harmful than drinking, short term, & people are less inclined to drive vehicles or do aggressive, dangerous things while on pot.

People don't notice the changes right away, & if you continue to do even soft drugs for decades, there does seem to be decline in brain function. I can't quote scientific numbers here, but when you run into somebody who still smokes a lot of pot etc., after you haven't seen them for some time, you do notice that something has gone wrong. They seem really inert.

My daughter doesn't do drugs either, but her friends tell her that even most pot these days has chemicals mixed into it.
Most of the countries that used to produce the best & largest amounts of pot & hashish are currently @ war or in social upheaval. (Is that the war on drugs?)

Governments should change the drug laws, I think Holland seems to be the most sensible about drugs.
It's better to have a population that smokes pot than have a lot of people committing crimes & killing themselves with crack, heroine, & Oxycontin mixtures.

1st World countries seem to have an insatiable want for drugs of all kinds. Do we have it too easy, & lack challenges in our lives?

Drug use is everywhere, only reasons it may seem more common here in the first world

1 ) the media shows it to you to help control you

B ) there is a profit motive in most of it, and the people producing it know they can make more profit shipping it here than selling it at home to their impoverished people who want it just as much (and need the diversion even more) yet have nothing to pay with.

Some of the greatest things are discovered when really blazed

You're not adding anything to it to make it stronger. You're simply extracting it from the plant. Cannabis the plant has resin glands that are oil. They contain THC and many other cannabinoids.
----> The only part of the plant you want for medicine or to get high. <----

Last century, like the Cheech & Chong days, ppl would rub the dry plant against like a window screen sometimes called scuffing to remove the resin.
Legend has it, in Jamaica naked women would run through the fields before harvest & the sticky resin would be rubbed by hand off their naked bodies.

You can use ice water and screens to remove the resin from the plant. The heavier resin will sink to the bottom of the water through the screens. It's a popular way to make hash the last decade or so. It's close to pure thc & the other cannabinoids.
Hash balls have been made for 1,000's of years. People use to milk the buds like stroking your johnson then rub the sticky resin that accumulated on the hands into a ball.

Another way is to make hash oil. You're just packing the plant in a pipe & filling it with the gas so the resin as an oil will run out the bottom. Extracting nearly 100%. <-Easy & efficient. Then you wait for the gas to evaporate at room temp leaving only the pure oil. You can use alcohol & other things to extract instead.
Not all butane is created equal. There are certain brands that do not contain toxic additives and are safe to use. Others are not.
People ingest stuff extracted all the time. Just because it's over the counter or off the shelf doesn't magically change the process & origination.
There's a lot of misinformation & lack of knowledge. Propaganda just like the media does with everything else. Hidden agenda trumps truth. Do you really think Big Gov. & Mainstream media have your personal health & well being in mind behind their policies & propaganda. The spin, wording, what gets shown & not shown is very, very intentional. Certainly with no consideration for the mass populace other than timing, manipulation & control.

In my humble or not so humble opinion. lol

if they did, all of it would be regulated, taxed and sold the same as alcohol.

they make more money locking people up for this, and pushing the much more harmful pharmaceuticals

100% agree. So much corruption. I certainly don't want people endangered or harmed.
I had forgot to mention on the butane extraction that I recently saw last year, a container for sale, that recaptures/reclaims near 100% of the gas for re-use. Which is better for a persons wallet & the environment. Also could be an additional way of verifying it is removed & less ignition risk.
