so respect humanity…..say no to drugs[any type]

Very interesting read. I was just wondering how I missed this, then I saw the date and realised that I missed this post in the Christmas rush.

Really absorbing narrative. I read it twice and I get the feeling I will read it again. It was so interesting! After having studied in an all girls school and college (exept for ISC in a co-ed school) I have no clue to the going on’s in guys lives. This post and some of your earlier posts are an eyeopener. Compared to you guys we gals lead fairly dull lives. And our drinking habits are nothing to write home about I dont think any girl can drink more than a peg maybe two at the maximum. Usually we take small pegs so that way we can stretch the drink to last the evening. All that we are interested is in talking and the drink does lubricate the tongue :))

The assembly line, dark sunglasses et al had me ROFL. Please write more such posts.

Nice narration ….

And Belated Christmas wishes …. was down with fever for christmas :((

James Bright: Thanks

Chetak: Thanks. When I said controlled, I was not talking about violence. I was talking about control of the mental and physical faculties. Violence, I have seen more in people who have consumed alcohol. Yes, we too used to go for movies. The experience was so real and we used to refer it as the 3D effect. You are right about experimentation; nothing wrong in it. But many people could not stop at the experimentation level, and they become addicts and hence the stigma and fear. One needs strong will power to stop experimenting at some point and move on.

That was a good one and took me down memory lane to the misty hillocks of Manipal from where i passed out in 98. Idukki stuff was supposed to be the best stuff in India, apart from the legendary Manali cream.

It was nostalgia again for me for i could relate to almost everything you logged. One thing that i don’t agree with your views is that alcohol kick can be controlled and not Marijuana’s. Pot might make you delirious, unnaturally happy very rarely panicky but in my 4 years of pot related experiences i haven’t seen any one get violent. I have seen unforgettable scenes of senseless actions.

Like this fellow who ate 1.5 kgs of Dharwad Peda at a single sitting, or a friend having three dinners a night!!!. Ice creams and sweets were a major hit too. The laugh riots too were too much. Another popular treat was to go watch movies (this was for veterans only and not for occasional smokers) Man it felt as though we were a part and parcel of the movie. The effects so real and one would feel the movie. I remember we watched back to back shows of Last of the Mohicans (off course stealing a few minutes for a bob) Incidentally a Bob was the larger variant of joint rolled in king size cigarette rolling paper supported by a small filter. It could hold about 3 times the amount of a normal cigarette but could cater to the needs of 4 guys each taking a few rapid draws to pass it on to the next guy thus imbibing feelings of camaraderie.

Its years since i have had a sniff of the stuff yet the memories are as fresh as yesterday there are so many of them. Sadly many of my former friends think of the experimentation with stuff as a bad memory feeling hesitant to even talk about as though its a regrettable action. Something taboo and not to be talked about. I have no qualms at all and for all i know if i get a chance of drawing a few breaths of Cannabis indica i am game enough!!!
