Stoned

[Scarlett]

Would anyone like to listen to David Crosby in a darkened room with a red lightbulb on and get stoned? Now- don't get me wrong, I have never done this. But I really want to! One day.

Does anyone recommend, or think this is a bad idea?

[Drusilla]

It doesn't appeal to me, Scarlett, but I'm biased. I'm a thirty five year old woman who grew up with pot smoking parents and it never looked cool, hip or anything other than something embarrassing parents did at weekends. Incidentally, they used to listen to Echoes by Pink Floyd and Neil Young tracks.

I have to agree with Drusilla. I know a few people that have been regular smokers and have ended up in a mess (especially later in life). Also bear in mind that it can make you quite sick if you haven't smoked it before (obviously, people react differently) and if it does, it will end up ruining your entire evening anyway!!

I don't think this is the right place to be asking that kind of question sweetie ;-)

[tanyalee]

I disagree - The context in which the question has been asked is not great, but it is a perfectly valid question. Surely if someone is smart enough to ask a question of this nature, then they require intellectual guidance on the matter and this seems like the perfect place to ask.

TBH - have tried it once and didnt like not being in control besides i got completely paranoid - so wont be doing it again - think maybes its better to have a few strong beers and listen to david crosby and see what reactions u come up with - of course thats providing u r over 18 x

Never say never.
Do it!
Dont like it? Dont do it again.
Like it? No harm done.

Only in a place you feel comfortable, with people you trust, and music you like.

It's not for everyone, if you do try it and don't like it, turn the lights back on and eat or drink sweet foods to reduce the effects.

Just to put thids into context- I am 36!!

Scarlett - You only live once and in the scheme of things there are far worse things you could want to try and do. I had a few tries when I was in my teens, I didn't really like the 'high' from it though. I wouldn't do it again, but it was an experience and that's what life is all about......isn't it?

Scarlett, i recommend - however make sure you smoke weed not resin and limit yourself to half a spliff, this should be more than enough to make you pleasantly floaty.

If you ever fulfil this ambition please post and let us know :)
