it's salvia...

That stuff is not cannabis.

They just take random herbs and spray it with a JWH-018 solution [1-pentyl-3-(1-naphthoyl)indole]. It's a research chemical (synthetic cannabinoid) developed by John W. Huffman at Clemson Univeristy in South Carolina.

My advice... Stay away from the research chemicals, and keep it green, blue, or purple.

Cannabis and Ancient History

The ancestors of Cannabis originated in Asia, possibly on the more gentle slopes of the Himalayas or the Altai Mountains to the north. The exact origin, obscured by Stone Age trails that cross the continent is not known.

Salvia is different from the stuff Snuts is talking about.

Salvia's active ingredient is salvinorin-A. Those effects only last a few minutes, but the experience can be intense.

I tried it a few times... It made me break out into a sweat, and it made me feel tense. Fortunately, the effects wear off quickly. I wouldn't play with that one either (not without a sitter, at least).

Cannabis is all you need!

I know that.

I'm saying that our country was founded on cannabis. Our first flag was made with hemp. Our forefathers grew hemp. Benjamin Franklin owned a hemp mill. Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper, and so on, and so on...

I tie my wife up with hemp rope. Does that count?



She Loves the sensation!

if she likes it it counts ;-)

[BadAxe]

yes but if you smoke every day MJ you're still a junkie even if it's on prescription ;-)

But a beer or 2 a day, or a glass of wine or 2 a day is perfectly ok, right?

You have NO idea what you are talking about, even remotely.

[BadAxe]

That much marijuana is entirely unnecessary anyways. At least for person consumption. The shit would dry out before you could finish it.

Mason jars my friend, mason jars. Thats where I cure my harvests, and it stays fresh for a LONG LONG TIME in mason jars.

[BadAxe]

And what about those legal herbs?

I tried some "69 pout porri" in a shop that open recently in the neighborhood. I didn't know what to expect but...damn....that's really potent.

But I'm not sure what they do to it to become legal. I'm kinda old fashion when it comes to cannabis..

Stay far far away from the synthetic legal herbs. Just research a bit and look at the symptoms people are getting when giving that shit up. Its horrid, and the symptoms last and last and last. Just smoke weed.

Send me one of those Mason Jars. I would like to watch it cure. (a little bit at a time)

Yeah, I've read about some of those symptoms but I don't know what to believe nowadays. You can read a lot of awful things about cannabis, light beer or even snus.
I still prefer the green one but I like to experience new things. And that's my problem...

I've tried it, and I wouldn't recommend it for any long term use. In fact, I wouldn't recommend it at all. The physiological effects are not completely known, and I know from personal experience that my pulse rate approached dangerous levels after habitual use. Also, synthetic cannibinoids have no medicinal value whatsoever, and could be detrimental to your health.

The only market this stuff caters to: areas where cannabis prohibition is in full-force, and areas where cannabis is simply unattainable.

If you live in the US, and you need medication, there are 15 medical cannabis states (+ DC) in the Union. Go get yourself a recommendation, and enjoy responsibly. Don't play around with the fake stuff.

If there is no acces to cannabis where you live (and I find that hard to believe), just drink a beer. Really, there is almost zero data on the effects of these synthetics. No one takes them seriously and they slip under the radar like homeopathic stuff. We don't know if it's bad for you or not, but what we do know is that the high sucks, so either way they are a no-go.


Re Salvia. Salvia is not even remotely in the same catagory as cannabis. It's more like hells bells, DMT or acid than anything else.

I'm not saying it's right, but those are the people that are buying it... Them, and teenagers who are able to buy it without being carded.

Oh, and people that are subject to random urine analysis... There were a ton of government and military officials that were using it before the crackdown.

Washington State House Bill 1550 [Regulating the production, distribution, and sale of cannabis] was filed today.

Bill proposes to sell pot through state liquor stores

Posted by Joanna Nolasco

State Rep. Mary Lou Dickerson, D-Seattle, is again proposing that the state legalize marijuana and regulate it much like alcohol.

House Bill 1550, filed Tuesday, proposes that pot be sold through state liquor stores to adults aged 21 and over, and that the state Liquor Control Board issue licenses to commercial growers.

Dickerson sponsored similar legislation in the previous legislative session, but the bill was voted down in the House Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Committee.

“We listened to the concerns of law enforcement, medical marijuana patients and others and made several important improvements” to the bill, Dickerson said in a statement. “Our new bill includes provisions for industrial hemp and allows the cultivation of cannabis for personal use, similar to home brewing and wine making.”

Dickerson estimates that the measure could raise about $400 million each biennium through sales and licensing fees. The bill proposes to allocate 77 percent of revenue raised to health care and 20 percent to substance abuse and treatment.

Co-sponsors of the bill are: Reps. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland; Dave Upthegrove, D-Des Moines; Jamie Pedersen, D-Seattle; Sherry Appleton, D-Poulsbo; Mary Helen Roberts, D-Lynnwood; Eileen Cody, D-West Seattle; Luis Moscoso, D-Mountlake Terrace; Deb Eddy, D-Kirkland; Tami Green, D-Lakewood; Jeannie Darneille, D-Tacoma, and Joe Fitzgibbon, D-Burien.
