Just curious, Alex. When you were addicted, how many E pills were you taking each night?

haha WHY would you STOP using drugs!!!?? Actually K is no good and I'd rather take straight up MDMA over E any day. Not a word of a lie I smoked three bowls before I decided to come to GC today, and in honour of Alex I'm going to smoke at least 10 more after this.

On a more serious note, I am officially a pothead and am having trouble cutting back. The problem is I don't even know that I want to, and I'm not entirely convinced weed is such a bad thing. The problem is when it's really good weed, when thats the case you're too high to do anything but play Halo or enjoy movies 10x more. Free Marc Emery.

Gamingguru. You are an idiot. Do you or do you not want to go to the Brunny or Picidilly and have the first ever elite DP with some drunk bitch?

okejje. There will be a day. The college freshmen are all '91s this year which is the hottest year ever in God's creation. Gotta get that.

I've always been partial to the speedy E personally, but it's much easier to find pure stuff then it is to find the perfect mix unfortunately. I never understood why K was a rave drug, but I've only done it once and not in that environment so who knows what I know. Didn't care for it enough to do it again anyways. Haven't smoked pot regularly for years now, but I remember the topics about it on this very board back when I did.

Alex Anderson once told me about a time he did K at a rave and SAW MUSIC. Like he went deaf and could SEE THE MUSIC WITH HIS EYES.

I know this is your quitting celebration thread Alex but SEEING MUSIC SOUNDS AMAZING. Sorry

A close friend of mine also had the 'seeing music' experience but it was on an intense mushroom trip. I've had some pretty cool shroom experiences, one really bad trip, but mostly awesome times. I've had psychic connections on shrooms and have definitely seen aura's and all sorts of walls breathing and shit. The most visuals I had was on the bad trip in which case I saw all sorts of bizarre things, but I simply did too much for what I could handle. One of the coolest things was a closed eye visual of an ocean made of gasoline. Awesome.

Marc, you can't know. In philosophy, it's called a simple concept. For instance, if you didn't know what the color blue was, it would be impossible to have it explained to you. Complex concepts can be explained, for example, a red line. If you know the simple concepts involved (red and line) then you can imagine a red line, but if you have never experienced the color red, or a line, then it will be impossible to explain it.

Alex put this well when I spoke with him about the incident. It would be like explaining a certain shade of color to a blind man.

Hey Alex, on a more serious note what helped you kicked your habits? Quite literally I'm trying to go one day without getting high and it's the most frustrating thing in the world.
