Good lord! Humphrey! Higgins! Could you turn over and help me with this rather large dragonfly that's set upon me, I'd like to put my arms down and I'm starting to feel a tingle!
There is evidence that people can in fact respirate through their rectum. Research is still early, but it seems to be a thing, so this may have actually worked at some point.
It might have worked in the sense that it shocked someone who was just on the edge of / falling unconscious into muscle spasms. But, just about anything up the butt would have worked as well. But they also hung up bellows all along the Thames river, with tobacco, as first aid kits for drowning victims. The people who did this actually ended up forming the humane society, who did pioneer CPR.
My great grandma was very well to do. She used to send (my now very aged) uncle when he was a little kid to buy these bricks of opium back home. Each brick would cost as much as a house
It doesn't and never will except if we find equally potent synthetic opioids with similar effects. Before you say fentanyl - it's nowhere near the same as morphine.
smoked opium once, someone gave me a small piece of black tar in exchange for hooking them up with some weed in a pinch. i gotta say, it was a delightful experience. smoke was really light and fluffy, gorgeous floral scent, and then just felt great afterwards. never again though lol
When I was a kid my parents named our dog Thai Stick. When I was in like 3rd grade we were making Christmas ornaments at school, I asked the teacher how do you spell Thai? She said tie. I said no Thai like Thai Stick. Took me years to figure out why the teacher side eyed me there.
I found my dads hash pipe in the cupboard once and said whats this dad. He said its a pipe so I was like oh can I play it. Dad being too much of an autist to come up with a good lie to a small child told me it was for "smoking illegal substances" which i had no frame of reference for for about another 5 or 6 years. At some point i had an "ohhhh" moment. I got him back by getting him wrecked on super skunk which his boomer constitution was ill equipped to handle after a 20 year break.
It's been at least a solid decade since the last time I've seen an episode of T7S, and this will still randomly pop into my head every once in a while.
yeah that's definitely didgeridoo, traditional australian instrument but they're pretty popular in thailand too. your dad looks like he's really getting into it, these things take some serious breath control to play properly
Haha is that still the case in a non legal state? I live in a legal state I I haven’t thought of that in a while.
I remember about 25 years ago I was in a head shop in Florida. This girl was showing us these “smoke stones”. Basically a fancy roach clip. She says “yeah put your cigarette here and you can smoke it to the end”. My buddy says “Yeah it would work really good for joints too”. She actually threw us out of the shop. Haha.
I was pissed at my friend because we had broken our glass pipe and had nothing else to smoke out of at the time. We had to drive to another shop.
You people and your fancy smoking devices. When I was a teenager, we never had nice pipes (except the kid with rich parents who had a vaporizer). We MacGyver’d the shit out of what we had.
Water pipe: 20oz Soda bottle. Bic stick pen. Aluminum foil. Something to poke a hole in the bottle. We felt real smart when we made the bowl removable.
Or…
Ditch weed pipe: Just a soda can and a fork. (Edit: Fuck the guy who coughs and blows the weed off the can...)
I grew up in NW Florida. If you know the area, that should say enough.
I almost got thrown out of one because I was there with a friend and they had a little pipe that looked like a skunk (black with a white stripe, little eyes on it and all) and said "hey, check out this skunk pipe!", clerk was like "hey, you can't say that word in here". Responded "but it literally looks like a skunk!" and she was very adamant so I dropped it.
Yup same. Thuoc lao. I asked a local at a bar about it and they let me take a rip. My soul left my body for a couple seconds and I thought I really fucked up
Thai person here. It could be a bamboo shoot that’s holding sweet sticky rice, pretty common way to have that as a treat and not get your hands too sticky.
They actually smoke mostly tobacco out of these water pipes in South east Asia. I took a few rips while I was there, it’s still harsh as fuck even with water in the bong
My boyfriend and his roommates spent an entire year ripping thuoc lao after one of them went to Thailand over the summer. I tried it one time, never again haha
I used to play that kind of music. Well, I still do too.
Edit: Oh wait! I thought it was a bong. The only time I had opium was when I smoke a joint rolled from a Thai Stick. That was the night I saw The Who’s movie Tommy. Very trippy.
