    2 years sober off opiates and benzos. Was on 10 blues and 35mg of Etiz a day putting a gun to my head in the parking lot at work everyday in 2021. After a decade of using and dealing I’m almost 2 years sober and out of the streets. If I can do it you can too. Theirs so much more to life than jails, institutions and death.

      I'm going on 5 and a half years clean from 10 long years of heroin and fentanyl patch addiction so I know the struggle. I needed suboxone for 3 years to ween me off theres no way i could do it any other way but I made a total 180 degree change in life and am doing so much better. Glad u did to buddy. Theres definitely more to life than addiction but in Mexico they dont have much to strive for so I kind of understand them getting high. They forget they are poor and hungry and destitute when high so its probably harder for them. I had things to live and get sober for here in canada.

But I've been clean of all other drugs for 2 mos, which is a lot for me. I got on suboxone to get off methadone. I was in a method clinic for 15 yrs & got off it so I'm sure I can ween off suboxone but my life isn't stable enough so I know I'll just end up with a needle in my arm again.

      ehh i smoke weed, I don't agree with these other drugs, but i do support that they should be legal and regulated, regulation is the only way, make it illegal's, punish people, all you do is push such activity's into secrecy, and allow no accountability on manufactures, without regulation, you have people buy something thinking its one thing but its another thing, sell weed, sell laced weed its the same punishment, if it was regulated this would not happen.
      all drugs should be legal and regulated for the safety and security of all people, not just the ones who use the drugs.
      It would make it harder for kids to get too, you would need an ID to buy it, a license to sell it, and produce it.
      the job of the government should not be to punish those who sell or use drugs of any kind, it should be to educate its population on the dangers of using the drugs, while also ensuring those who use their free will to choose to use a drug are as safe as they can be.
      not only would this lead to less drug related deaths, and insure the safety of citizen's, it would also take money from criminals and stimulate the economy through taxation of the drugs.

    My experience with mystery synthetic is that is is something unique. Like, I could not stop smoking it. Until we ran out. That is definitely part of the problem. This drug, like internet purchased "synthetic" before made illegal, is like weed....but with a three minute high or "relaxation" combined with a crack like feeling of wanting more, that a traditional pre-roll or joint does not offer. There is something different here and it is bad. So happy the regular stuff is legal where I live and it is fine.

      I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

      It's weed sprayed with sythetic cannabinoids. The anti drug agencies and labs in Honduras aren't well funded so ofcourse they couldn't test for it. The EU has a list with over 270 of them. Last I checked you can go to Erowid and there is a forum post where there are details about a service were you can send the drugs anonymously to a lab for testing. If anybody from Honduras sees this comment, it might be worth to send there for testing. They have data on the most obscure research chemicals that were discovered even only a few years ago.

    In the United States, spice used to be sold at Smoker Friendly stores. My cousins would buy and smoke it a lot and everyone thought that because it was still weed, even though synthetic, and it was being sold legally, it must be okay. I tried it twice. I was probably about 13 or 14 at the time and usually smoked regular weed with my friends. First time with the spice, one hit and didn't feel much. Second time, two hits and I felt like I zoned out forever and woke back up in a different world. I felt like I wasn't real, the disassociation was so bad. My heart was racing and I thought I was going to die. I wasn't far from my house so I started yelling for my mom lol. My cousins were able to calm me down and we went for a walk. I finally went home and I had to go to sleep because I still felt like I wasn't real. When I woke up, I felt okay. After that day, I refuse to do ANY drugs. Weed, vapes, anything. I never want to feel that way again. I can't imagine it lasting any longer than it did.

    what I have found over the years is that a very large part of getting addicted is how hard you have to work to stay addicted. the more time you have to spend trying to find it, the more addicted you will be to it. Multiple hours spent just trying to find the drug, it's a high in itself and when you finally get it, that's another high, and when you use it, that's the final high, it's almost kind of like a low because now the journey is done so you just start working on the next high before you even come down fro. the one you just worked for.
    had it have just been legal and available a couple miles down the road, you might just see the drug for what it is and use it sparingly knowing itll always be there if you really have to have some and it wont cost you the whole day. that's significantly less time spent thinking about your next high which is more time for thinking of other things, instead of planning how to get high, your planning what to do, maybe even planning to get sober

      The analysis technique used initially, which determined the presence of an amphetamine, was almost probably a false positive as cannabis naturally contains hundreds of compounds.
      I'm not sure what the 'more advanced' analysis technique was, but I highly doubt they would have the equipment necessary, or the standards for a recently discovered 'synthetic cannabinoid', some of which produce an incredibly potent high in fractions of a milligram and can easily hide amongst the spectra produced by analysis of a plant rich in chemical compounds.
      By the look of it; chopped and appearing to have been either sprayed or soaked in a solution, I would guess weed with an unnatural cannabinoid added and the solvent (carrier liquid) potentially being something cheap like kerosene or petrol, which will leave residues leading to the taste and smell, or perhaps it just wasn't properly dried - that is all just guesswork on my part, not fact. I don't know what it is.
      I'm just saying, their analysis seemed lacking and even labs with the equipment and standards would take a bit of time determining a new and extremely potent synthetic cannabinoid sprayed onto weed.

So I can get edibles with 200mg of total thc and it’s legal even though recreational marijuana isn’t legal in my state. Recreational8 has the full list of where it's legal but it's legal in almost every state. I think it’s going to stay this way until they just fully legalize it.

    It's sad to see the world we are in. Controlling people and what they consume. Also seeing them using their own product is also interesting.

    This is both intriguing and terrifying. The "synthetic" spice or weed that trickled into the "head" shops around central and western NC some years back , was really nothing to play around with. The very first time i ingested some through a bong (yeah not a good idea) - i can still remember feeling like i was going to die that evening. it was scary. - So in true addict form i continued trying different types, modes etc until my common sense told me that if the shop selling me the stuff was required to disclaim that: "not meant for human consumption..." that i should probably stop - and i did. I can, as a layperson , unequivocally assert that i had no freaking clue what i was smoking during that time, - and that it was probably not healthy. After two particular episodes, one that found me crawling on my bedroom floor and the other, whilst on the clock at a job, went into a full on syncope where i was there but i wasn't for a few minutes. Big scene , yada yada yada, (terminated of course.) I knew i was done. The way those chemicals interacted in 'this' body? was simply not for me.

      Because in El Salvador, the gangs have the police and politicians straight up in their pocket, they basically turned the prisons into a club house for them, they're trying to give the illusion like they're solving the problem by making the military execute members on the streets (anyone with long hair and tattoos, regardless if they're MS or not in some cases), and not really going after the source, the country got turned into a mess after the civil war in the 80s. The other side of the Americas in general is a far more messed up place than the U.S. and it just gets worse day by day, I've been there and realized we take practically so many things for granted here in the U.S.
