i smoke sausages

I did when I was 17 and illegal to do it. So...nope not anymore. Stuff's bad for ya

FUCK tobacco

i used to smoke winstons, but they got too expensive. i smoke pall mall now. kurt vonnegut once called them a "classy way to kill yourself."

i started smoking to fit in with the cool kids who listened to limp bizkit. it was a good decision imo

i smoke cock

>>807894
do want

I smoke. Started regulary as a light infantryman. Ciggies, and occasionally pipe when I feel really pensive. :D.

I smoke pot once or twice a year. This is usually followed by a 3 day writing spree.

>>807892
errdayyyyyyyy. Well, no, not everyday. I like to smoke weed three or four times a month. That's just about the right amount for me.

Still can't beat the munchies though, fuck.

>>807902
Bout same for me

I'll have a cigarette once every couple days. I'd like to try a pipe sometime, too.

I smoke

started at 20, never really smoked except as a 12 yr old. started smoking when going out, realized a cigarette is fantastic when drunk, been 2 years now, i smoke when i go out and drink, very occasionally when not drunk, I know it isn't healthy but I enjoy the way I'm living and would like to stick to this plan, will never smoke daily, couldn't do it. I smoke lucky strikes

smoke weed a few times a month

>>807899

:3~

I smoke weed daily, started smoking because I'm wheelchair-bound. It makes physical therapy easier and definitely helps with my depression.

Does anyone know if cigarettes have a worse effect if you smoke them when drinking or drunk, than they would do if you smoked them sober. It's a myth I've always wanted to clear up...

>>807959
Let's hear your story, anon.

How did you end up with wheels?

>>807962
There's no basis for this chemically. Where I think you might draw a correlation is your loss of self-control as you drink more. I know I end up binging on food when I'm quite drunk. I suppose if I was at all tempted to smoke cigarettes, I would end up chain smoking cigs.

>>807962
I don't see why sobriety would matter.

Thanks Anons. That's good enough for me.

>>807968
My mother beat me with a chair when I was eleven, it shattered my ribcage. I already had a very weak immune system so I kept having new medical problems that just kept me seated. At first I thought I would only be in this position three years while my ribcage was operated on and healed. It's been over ten years now.

>>808019
The fuck! Do you live alone? Have you continued to go to school? Do you work?

Where do you live, anon?

I hope you live in Vancouver, BC, so I can become your friend.

>>808019

Shit... I'm sorry dude. Fuck.

>>808019
doingitwrong

you aim for the head, not ribs

...women

>>808052
No, I'm very happily married. I'm in school and working towards becoming a college professor. I work part-time but recently had to cut my hours.

I live in Austin, Texas.

Haha, my husband is from Canada. We're thinking of moving to Vancouver after he finishes his bachelors.

>>808048
You had nothing to do with it, no reason to apologize. :3
Despite my original comment I generally have a pretty great life.

>>808088

Hearing that, after what you just posted. I am very happy for you, Anon! I'm not the guy you were responding too in that post, but I thought I'd just show my appreciation on your position! I am glad!

I don't like smoking and I'm not to much of a drinker either.

>>808088
Cheers for such a sunny outlook! People like you inspire me to be a better person.

If you ever do end up in Vancouver, I hope I run into you in one of our used book stores one of these years. :3

>>808122
I'm planning on eventually moving to Vancouver too, oddly enough. /lit/ in B.C.

FUCK YEAH VANCOUVER

I smoke Port Royal rolling tobacco, either in a pipe or rolled. I started smoking when i was 16 after my father decided to stab my mother 15 times and hang himself while i was in China on a school trip.

>>808141
Vancouver is paradise! Cute Asian girls at every turn, the best Chinese food in the world, Sea to Sky, skiing, trails, bike paths by the water, Stanley Park, all the used book stores.

I live in a really wonderful part of the city that's close to the beach and central to all the interesting parts of town :3

Wouldn't leave this place for anywhere else in the world.

>>808151
Oh LAWD, Koerner library. I work at UBC so I always end up walking over to here or IK Barb just to wander the stacks when I need a break.

>>807881

I smoke. I smoke Camels. I started because almost everyone else I knew was smoking. They've almost all given up. I continue because -- bad for you as it is -- it sharpens your concentration for short periods of time. It gives me focus.

>>808145
what the fuck

>>808145
What part of China were you visiting, bro?

Cigar smoker here. Starter when I was 15 or 16 because I was introduced to them by a friend and liked them. About 1-2 per week on average and mostly Cubans (I'm trying to expand my repertoire though).

>>808174

> I work at UBC

Work at UBC like, in the McDonalds there or work at UBC as in at the school?

>>808222
I work at the school as an editor for a journal. Got a desk and a window view and everything. :3

>>808239

So... where do you live? And how hard do you think it would be to create a suit of human skin?

>>808206
We stayed in Nanjing for 2 weeks, then traveled to Shanghai then traveled to Beijing for 4 nights or so, then back to Nanjing and back to Australia.

ITT: my three favorite things; Vancouver (home), Books (love), smoking weed (passion).

>>808261
What was your favorite memory from there? Your impressions of the country?

>>808266
You should consult _American Psycho_ for Pro tips!

>>808268
Probably Shanghai, it's so fucking big and so flat, found it so easy to travel around at ease,there are so many subways and bus' that continually run so moving around is really efficient and fast, i liked the size of the skyscrapers and the amount of people. Nanjing i found the lifestyle interesting, very poor in the area we stayed in. Beijing has awesome shopping and the McDonalds kicks ass.

Can't remember much though, a lot of its a blur now.

>>808105

This really is the nicest goddamn board on 4chan.

>>808105
Well I hope you have a happy life as well!

>>808122
Thanks! I hope so as well but it is awfully cold there!

I love this thread

Why is this thread so depressing

>>807893
OMFG I smoke Winstons
I must be a writer!!

I smoke American spirits.
roll my own.

but I'm not a writer anymore so disregard OP.

I grew up around Winston-Salem, NC. I think I won't smoke due to some sort of reactionary impulse.

lucky strikes! so good...

>>808151
So, what you're saying is, I should visit Vancouver?
(Ontariofag btw)

Mostly Djarum Blacks, cousin's friend lit up in he car one day, I was like "OMG THAT SMELLS AWSM". So that started it. I stopped not too long ago, and want to try electonic cigs instead.

Opium, the traditional muse of authors everywhere. Relaxes and focuses me personally, helps me get out raw ideas at first then think over and refine them. Also works great for depression, the other traditional muse of authors everywhere.

>>809256
Where the heck do I get my hands on some Opium?!?

i liek opium too :)

>>809279
Dunno about opium proper, but I hear an herb called kratom is an excellent opioid substitute. From what I was told, it's most like hydrocodone, which is actually one of the alkaloids found in opium proper.

>>809297

its opiate like, but still quite different. youll want to the bali type as it produces more sedating effects as opposed to the other varieties. it really doesnt taste that bad either, sort of like a slightly bitter tea. the only problem i had with it was the fact that you need to ingest quite a few grams of it for a stronger dose if its not an extract or deveined. i found the best way to ingest it was to mix a whole bunch in with some hot chocolate, stir a bunch, then drink in gulps.

these are some legit sites to order from if anyone is interested. try to avoid one-stop-shops like iamshaman.com or the like for kratom as they tend to have weaker batches. sites devoted only to kratom tend to have the best supplies:

http://www.kratomhill.com/
http://www.kratomcats.net/
http://thekratomking.com/

you can also buy poppy pods over the internet and make poppy tea out of them. you can buy them for 'decorative purposes' like making wreaths and shit, but you basically just grind them up in a coffee grinder, then seap them in warmish water for awhile, then chug. then seap in cold water and chug. be advised that it tastes bitter as all hell.

also you can just grow your own poppy pods then slit the pods, collect the sap, then refine it into opium. as long as you arent aware of the fact that poppies can be used to make opium and heroin, they are legal to grow.

first, Camus is my favorite author ... now i list.

i have smoked cigarettes for 10 years, now a pack every 2-4 days
i was a pothead for 7 yeas, and an off again on again for 2 years after
i have smoked ice, or freebase methamphetamine for 2 years, but that was while ago.
i have smoked opium, and would now, if i could find it, because i love fucking opiates
i have smoked a collage of legal inebriants and hallucinogens too many to list, about a 5 years period of this.
i have smoked 2C-E a few times
I have smoked Datura a few times

why? for the effects of course.
but opiates are the only drugs that ever made me want to write, pot gave ideas but bad prose, and everything else made one far too fucked up to produce anything actually good.
once again, opiates are the only literary smoke i have done, and cigarettes to a degree, when one is in a good zen writing mood.

>>809297
i wrote a big list of stuff and didn't see this. This is true.

>>809341
I'd like to add www.specialtyherbstore.com to the recommendations.
They sell more than just kratom these days because they've expanded, but it's still one of their main focuses. Their bali has concistently been the best quality at the best price I've ever had.

>>809358
Legal hallucinogens? Don't mean to derail, but this happens to be of interest to me. (In the intellectual, "doors of perception" way, so still vaguely related :P)

Camel Turkish Gold. I started because I was with a guy, when I was 16. I adored the taste and the smell, especially of menthols.

>>809374
the Kratom, Wild Dagga for interesting legal inebriants

http://www.orionzoneproducts.com/
for stuff like 2C-I, 2C-E, and the few remaining legal DMT related stuff, though their quantity varies and sometimes have all the above, sometimes just one available. I have ordered and it is true and works. however, when they say something will be back ordered, they mean it, like when they say six weeks, they mean six to eight weeks.

Datura is legal, but be careful
San Pedro cactus is legal, contains mescaline
morning glory seeds and hawaiin baby woodrose seeds contain natural LSA. for a spiritual acid trip with less visuals these are good.
many legal plant variants can create ayauscha (misspelled and don't want to look up) which IS DMT

I smoked cigarettes for about a year.
I smoke weed, love writing on it. It's worth the trouble of an extra rewrite or two, imho.
I like opium, but wouldn't write on it.

>>809389
i smoked these when i was young then found the taste really bad and annoying after a pack. still to this day, one i like, but any more and it gets nasty.

i stay with Camel lights. Or American Spirit black, the perique blend, my personal favorite cig of all time.

>>809392
Thank you. Your information will be used for a very good cause, I can assure you.

>>809392
Your information will also be used for a less good cause or two, in all likelihood.

>>809374

not the guy your post referred to, but you can buy cuttings of the san pedro cactus of the internet and do an extraction to get out the mescaline aka the active chemical inside peyote. although if youve never tripped before, mescaline can be pretty intense.

you can also buy psilocybin mushroom spores and grow your own shrooms.

you can also find some sites that sell research chemicals, although youll have to be careful as there are alot that will rip you off and just take your money.

overall i wouldnt put too awful much hype into the 'doors of perception' thing. you dont gain enlightenment because of the drugs themselves, rather the drugs just enable/show you how to think in a different way, or to see things from a different perspective. you can very much do the same thing without drugs, drugs are just one avenue to it.

a large majority of the time, youll be tripping or real high and think youve just figured life out, then once you come down you wonder why the fuck that made any sense at all to you.

>>809392

i wouldnt recommend datura as it pretty much just makes you delirious. not to knock your experiences with it or anything, but many, many reports ive read about it online end up with the user in the hospital, or waking up 8 hours later in a strange place with no recollection with what happened.

LSA is a good thing to look into though. if you get morning glory seeds, just make sure you get untreated ones. most packaged seeds youll get from your local garden shop in the US are treated with a poison that will make you throw up so you cant get high off them without crazy side effects. you can order untreated seeds off the internet or grow a few plants and harvest the seeds from them. your best bet would be to get Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds as you dont have to eat near as many as with MGs.

>you dont gain enlightenment because of the drugs themselves, rather the drugs just enable/show you how to think in a different way, or to see things from a different perspective.

This is actually the main lesson I've learned FROM doing drugs with psychedelic effects. A lot of it has to do with mindset, experimentation, and before/after comparisons. For instance, I have known several people who developed the ability to "astral project" with the help of DXM, then retain and refine the ability without further need for the substance. Others have gained insight enough to seriously change their lives for the better, some of them just from one-time experiences even. There are definitely other avenues, like you said, I just think different things work better for different people.

That being said, besides deep meditation and perhaps psychotherapy, what other avenues do you know of?

>>809446
sensory deprivation. get in a bathrub, turn out the lights and get a tube for breathing. easiest way.

>>809438
well i did say be careful.

I did it in a very mystical way so it wasn't as bad as the crazy shit you read on erowid from people wanting to get "fucked up". but it was scary.

oh i can't believe i fucking forgot salvia. Probably one of the weirdest and strongest drugs on the planet, and legal *in most* states.

I used to roll my own, but i never liked the smell it left on me. I use Swedish snus now and a cigarette every now and then

>>809446

lucid dreaming. art. even to some extent, just actively attempting to pull yourself outside your own body and become an unbiased observer to yourself and world around you. thats really not a great explanation of what im trying to convey, but im not quite sure how else to put it.

if i had to make an analogy, i would say to hold a book infront of you so you can only see the cover. now from you perspective, there is nothing else to the book but the cover. from your perspective the cover is the book and there is nothing else to it. now if you learn to flip the book over and open it up and look inside it, the book becomes something completely different. now youve learned how to see the book as a whole, and learned how to see things from different perspectives and it tends to stick with you. really an epiphany like that can be brought about by anything imo.

thats my whole take on the 'doors of perception' theory.

>>809456
This is a fun fun thing to do. Sit in your tub at night with the lights off and the window open if it's summer. You don't need to use a tube or submerge yourself completely. Feel free to keep your head above the water. Just meditate while you're floating.

i smoke cloves occasionally (inb4 hipster, faggot, hipster faggot, and/or faggot hipster) and cheap cigars from gas stations. i started when i was 17. i smoke pot occasionally.

>>809536

i'm taller than my bathtub is long.

>>809539
>cloves

well i guess we all went through that stage. but i heard they were banned now.

>>809543
