Subject: BS: Do You Post Stoned???
From: Bobert

Just tryin' to come up with some new territory for MudcatNation to conquer so here it is: Do you post stoned???

Now I'll be the first to admit that I might have posted a time or hundred here stoned... Or not, of course???

So there ya'll have it... The truth will set you free!!!

Now... seriously... I would be curious to know why anyone would WANT to say so if they did.

In the far distant past, I have been stoned... maybe 3-4 times. It was interesting, but I never saw the lure of it as a semi-permanent condition. I don't, as some do, call it 'seriously dangerous', but it was NOT a condition I felt aided my ability to cope with the world.

I haven't been stoned in that sense of the word in a coon's age, Bobeair. 'Course, if I had I would just appear brilliant and lyrical and such and no-one could really tell the difference except I might be hard to understand.

Heh! I suspect you'd wax long-winded, erudite, and sesquipedalian to the point of almost stupefying the reader under an avalanche of astoundingly subtle bloviation, Amos, replete with exquisitely put summations of all that our lives and times resonate to. As you say, no one would be able to tell the difference.

If Bobert stopped posting stoned, however, there'd be a big difference! He'd apologize to Chongo about all the denigrating remarks he's made and beg forgiveness. He'd swear never again to mention poo-flinging when bringing up Chongo's name. He'd make a contribution the to APP, and he'd quit bringing up Lyndon LaRouche all the time.

I don't indulge in the product that fits this word, but I have from time to time posted while pain meds were wearing off. That's not why my posts are garbled tho-- that happens when I try to post from cell or tablet and the cursor misbehaves due to low memory or android not always playing well with site programming.

I've noticed that on Facebook as well-- sometimes it's better to compose in a notepad on those devices and then paste, tho the fone does not always take me up on that and will insist on pasting in a prior clipboard entry.

Ya see, Bobertz, it works like this. You are the one in denial. See? The rest of these people here have grown up, so they don't smoke dope anymore like they once did when they was young, inexperienced, frustrated, bored, lookin' to build themselves an identity, and tryin' desperately to fit in with their generation and do the "cool" thing by smokin' up together. They was findin' their wings, see? Testin' their boundaries and defyin' parental authority and all that. Now that they mostly became parents themselves and their own parents have departed to the celestial choir, they got other concerns on their mind than actin' cool by gettin' stoned and passin' around the old joint whilst lissenin' to Frank Zappa and Led Zeppelin.

They have accepted change and moved on, Bobertz. When are YOU gonna do the same?

If I felt an inclination toward being stoned, posting on an Internet discussion forum is about the last thing I'd want to do. Too many instruments to play. Too many woods to walk around in. Too many balls of clay needing to be turned into pots.

9... Perish the thought... and pass it around, eh?

"Tried weed once, many years ago - didn't do a thing for me."

Usually, a beginner must toke a minimum of two times within a 2 to 4 week period to experience a stone. A certain (as in, fer sure it's gonna happen) exception to this rule of thumb is smoking WAY too much the first time. That is not good. The less weed you smoke, the better the stone... remember what George Carlin said : "You don't get more stoned; you get lower on dope."

"I don't see the sense in being out of my mind."

Not quite what takes place. Unless you smoke WAY too much the first time or mix it with two much alcohol. As well, one can enhance the other in small amounts (and also can be a problem for some). The effect of one on the other can depend on which is ingested first. That is, a SMALL toke can be enhanced with a FEW drinks and vice versa. Copious quantities of one or both when combined lead to weight gain, physical injury, jail time or unwanted pregnancy... or all in one night... just watch the TV show "Cops".

I have never posted stoned* on accounta I haven't smoked in years and years.

I got a "contact high" once, after standing a few yards away from someone smoking pot. I was working as a chambermaid at the time (the person smoking was the hotel receptionist, on her break).

All afternoon, as I went around making beds & cleaning bathrooms, I felt quite odd -- sort of as though my head was few feet above where it usually is... after a while wondering what was going on, I suddenly thought, "Oh... that's why they call it a "high"!", but couldn't figure out how it had happened... 'til I told a friend about it. He giggled and said, "Oh, that's so cute! You got a contact high!"

I'd never heard of one before. It was interesting, but didn't strike me as being all that much fun -- but then I always was a bit of a "goody two-shoes", I'm afraid.

43 years ago.... hotel room... 15 or so folks sitting, lying, leaning on whatever was available... towels stuffed under the door.... rather 'smoky'... me, sitting on the edge of a dresser, trying in my usual way to carry on a conversation, wondering why everyone was giggling and chortling at everything I said. I wondered, briefly, if my zipper was open... Nope... not that.
Finally decided that THEIR perceptions were a bit ...ummm... distorted by all that smoke, as *I* knew I wasn't saying anything very funny. It was an interesting evening, but something deep inside me was kinda opposed to the artificiality of that laughter, and I seldom bothered with that stuff after that....at least I never went out of my way to seek it!

I had ONE experience where I saw why musicians might feel...ummm 'freer' with a little enhancement.... but I'm not really a musician; I just managed to play along (on a sopranino recorder) with a band for about 3 minutes, doing riffs I've never been able to repeat.

I had years of exposure to the smell of the blasted stuff in the early 70s, Bobert, since almost everyone I knew then was using it. I didn't like it then. I don't like it now. Now...they were all smoking cigarettes at the time too....and that smelled even worse, admittedly.

There is no animal in Nature dumb enough to deliberately inhale smoke, smoke of ANY kind...except for the odd Chimp who's become perverted by hanging around human beings too much.
