I hate fancy restaurants. I can't enjoy the food thar.

I can't enjoy your face.

It's funny because it's true.

I believe so.

Moto is a restaurant where there's a set menu every night, 10-20 courses, but each one is a smaller portion of food than you'd normally consider a course (check the website for pictures). The tasting menu had 3 courses (+appetizer), so it's essentially a "sampler" course, except the things you're sampling are not actually on any menu, because there isn't any. So if that sounds like the Strasbourg Goose, then yes.

This kind of set up is usually only seen in the highest class of restaurant, because the ingredients are usually expensive (like truffle). First time I've ever eaten somewhere like this. Pretty tasty.

Does it fill you up or do you feel hungry afterwards? Ten courses sounds like a lot but I guess it's not that much when they consider "loaded fries" and "rainbow sprinkles" courses unto themselves! I've never been to a restaurant as posh as that one, although my older sister did have six courses at her wedding. They were lovely, I tried a replica six course meal for me and Leech but I made too much food and it took us the whole day to actually eat all of it. The Strasbourg Goose isn't really like Moto at all, I didn't really understand what a tasting menu was. You get a soup/small main course starter and then a big load of main course (potatoes/pasta/spaghetti with meat and veg kind of thing) and a dessert to finish (cakey stuff). Well worth 20 quid, and house wines are about 8 and delicious.

Weed.

Do you (people here in general) smoke it in joints that are mixed with Tobacco or just pure weed (blunt or something?).

Whats the most common/normal way?

How much is a good dose for one person? For both forms of... "Joint"? (Obviously, everyone is different, but like in alcohol - 1 shot of 40% alc. will do nothing, pretty much, to ANYONE. 2 Bottles of 40% alc. would destroy ANYONE, pretty much) (I'd be dead long before then. Half a bottle of Jack Daniels got me paralytic one night. No food though)
e.g.
Wikipedia says 0.25-0.5g per joint. Is that to be mixed with Tobacco? Or is that enough weed to fill a joint completely? (I'm rubbish with low weights)

And in a joint with 0.25-0.5g of weed, what would happen to you if you had it all to yourself? Would it be way too much? Not enough?
Would that much usually be passed around among friends?

I hear its done in ounces right? So... 1/8th Ounce = 3.5 Grams, which would make 7-14 joints (according to wikipedia's 0.25-0.5g statement)
how much would that cost? (£)

I also hear there are different types... Northern Lights and all that. Whats the difference? Whats the most common?


Clearly I have never done it. But clearly, I have curiosity as most humans do, and am definately not a closed minded person.

Lots of people get drunk. I got drunk. I liked it.
Lots of people smoke weed. They love it. ___________

Theres a blank that needs filling.

Though, I am concious of my health. These joints with the mix of tobacco... I wouldn't feel happy smoking that. But If its the easiest, most common way... a few times won't hurt I suppose.

Sorry for being a complete n00b.

Get yourself one of these :

Get some weed, pack teh bowl and smoke. Simplest way of getting high.

Let me say this, put on music when you're high, you will absolutely adore it. More than usual. Also eat food, go out in public and look at things.

Always remember this: you cant really smoke "too much" you might start to hallucinate and fall asleep if you smoke "too much"

But dont listen to me too much, i've only been doing it for like a month and a half haha.

Careful about smoking them with Tobacco, you may find yourself getting hooked on it. I have a stoner friend who, after stopping the stoning bit, found himself hideously addicted to nicotine.

I usually dilute joints and mix tobacco in when I'm toking from a bong but when I'm smoking from a pipe I'll leave it pure. Whatever you like better is fine, there's no normal way. It's all to do with what you enjoy more.

Generally we don't weigh it or anything but if you use long skins, a bud in each smokable part is sufficient.

3.5g is a 50 bag here, as in it costs fifty euro. I dunno but they might just convert that exactly in England, or it might be forty because it's easier to come by there? Not sure, sorry.

Skunk is kind of bitter and harsh, that's very prevalent here. We get nice White Widow, Pollen and Haze here occasionally (depends on how well you know the person you're getting it from really). If you know anyone who grows it, it'd probably be better to buy off them. You know they won't nick joints out of your bag, they'll give you mostly bud and not loads of stemmy seedy crap and that they generally won't rip you off.

It's definitely an experience that everyone should try before they dismiss it. It's not for everyone, but alcohol and cigarettes are pretty shit in comparison (in my opinion). If weed was more easily obtainable here, I'd definitely replace going to the pub and socialising with weirdos who generally have nothing but bad intentions for me with staying in with my buddies and having a nice joint. Depending on who you're with, you can feel very open and happy when you smoke. You can become profound, pensive, expressive, content with the world. But if you're in bad company, there can be paranoia and insecurity. For example, if I smoke too much at parties (even when I've been invited) I feel like people don't want me there. I feel like there's a general accord that I should leave. It's so weird! I've addressed it with people and they've assured me that they love me to bits and I'm the life and soul of the party but it still crops up... Probably just person anxiety there, but that's my take.

Yeah, Leechy is the same but he tolerates it because it's not as harsh and it lasts longer. I smoke so I don't really care about the cancerous aspect (:(). My dad is a psychiatric nurse and I asked him about the long-term effects, he said that studies (which he has conducted with the Irish Health Research Board) have proved here that people only have psychological problems with it if they have a history of mental illness in their family. But obviously, first-hand I've seen people who have become so dependent on the intoxication from weed that they've just become idiots. If it's used responsibly, it can be a delightfully enjoyable stimulant. I know far more people who smoke cigarettes (which will probably eventually kill us) and indeed more people whose lives have been absolutely destroyed by alcoholism. So it's for you to decide whether or not you can be responsible about using it. However, THC is not physically addictive and that's a fact.

We all started somewhere love.

Sorry to double post but these were posted before I finished mine and I want to respond to them.

Always remember this: you cant really smoke "too much" you might start to hallucinate and fall asleep if you smoke "too much"

Do you hallucinate? I've never heard of that with weed, are you mixing it with other highs? Falling asleep is something which I know all too well, I've seen a lot of people taking a few tokes as a noob and just sleeping the whole night through after that. We have a video of this REALLY experienced stoner we're friendly with and he's snoring like a foghorn at a party. Eh, my laugh in that video is pretty hilarious, I'm eeeheeheeing.

That's actually very true. A lot of people who previously didn't smoke will pick up cigarettes when they feel like having a joint. I smoked before I was a stoner so it's sort of less noticeable for me but I do smoke when I feel like a joint and it's not around.

Nah I've never hallucinated from it. I usually dont smoke THAT much haha. My friend has at least once before, but he took a hit off a bong approaching 2 meters tall! And it was some ridiculous weed too called Sour Diesel.

I havent done it in a few weeks, so this weekend should be pretty awesome.

If you don't smoke cigarettes you'll probably just wanna smoke pure weed joints, or else get a bong or a pipe. I fucking hate cigarettes, but I like weed. I'll smoke joints with tobacco in them but need something tasty nearby for immediate consumption following any toke. I'd rather avoid tobacco entirely because it tastes so god damn foul but it's good for keeping the joint burning.

I agree, hookah is ok with tobacco and some light cigars aren't too bad. But I prefer to stay away from tobacco.

Good replies so far, cheers everyone.

I'm pleased to see a lot of you prefer the "non-tobacco" methods. I don't smoke, and don't intend to, so from what you've said, I'll avoid any tobacco included joints. Getting addicted to Nicotine is the last thing i'd want out of it all.

So with these pipes, you just cram the weed into the bowl part, and hold a lighter on underneath it? Then... smoke the smoke.

Is there any difference between glass, wooden and metal ones?

How many grams would be needed for one?

How many people could get high off one? (I have friends also with the same frame of mind, lol)

Also, I don't directly know anybody that deals it, but I do directly know a few people that know some people.

Health-wise, are there any factors with pipes? I've heard lots of mixed stories and things, though. Joe Rogan has been smoking it for yeeaars, and he said that it hasn't affected him at all, and if anything, helped him during his Jiu Jitsu training.

The main thing I am thinking of though, is my mental state. I have no idea how i'd react. I'm really unpredictable with my emotions its crazy. Sometimes i've been drunk and really really happy and appreciative of everything/everyone around me, and suddenly flip and feel low and go off on wanders to god knows where by myself and that kinda stuff. But the thing is, 99% of the time, its the same thing that causes these "flips" or low moods, and its something thats gonna be with me for a while... So the liklihood of one of these flips happening could always be pretty high. But, I dunno... Sometimes when its caused me to feel crappy it, at the same time, makes me open my heart to all the little things, and like Alucard said, it makes you LOVE music and, Earth, and stuff..

I guess theres only one way to find out.

It's not the same as drinking, I can assure you that. Completely different state of mind and body.

You dont cram it in the bowl, you lightly pack is and light the weed from the top, but not for too long. It's really easy once you learn. Smoke with someone who has experience your first time,

Bunch of fucking hippies.
