Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Through my mother's work, I get two free tickets to Kennywood (the local amusement park) every summer. I tried to get a friend to come with me, but he said he'd rather just get stoned.

So I posed the question "why not go ride roller coasters stoned?" Well, after a minute of discussion, he and I agreed that it would be too frightening. He then said he'd definately do it if we speeded up first, instead of toking. To which I replied "why not just mix the two?"

At this point, he calls me crazy and says "never mix uppers and downers, dude".

This shocks me, because I've always loved mixing cannabis with a sprinkle of apms. So I come to ask you all (and to help convince him), is mixing speed and cannabis together a bad idea?

(for those who've never mixed, it's basically just like being stoned, except you're energetic instead of tired. Euphoric AND energetic. seems win-win, to me)

Speed is a dirty dirty dirty drug, to each his own of course but, speed is just retarded.

Also taking speed, speeds up your heart. Roller coasters make your body naturally speed up your heart.......could be a dangerous ride.

I've always mixed Stimulants and Depresants....... but am doing so less and less.

"Why trust one drug over another?" - Danny the Drug Dealer, Withnail and I, Waynes world etc.

I've found you get the most out of each drug if you use them on their own.

Having said that a couple of Tamazipan when you get in from a hard night stimulant abuse (insert drug of choice here) really levels you out and prepares you for sleep.

If you're going for the whole "Out front, On the Bus" Scenario good luck, but make sure you prepare properly first, all these drugs have effects on your physical self in varying ways, educate yourself on this first, make sure you're safe.... at 18 I thought myself indistructable.... then a friend of mine died from an amphetamine induced heart attack, granted he was a little over weight, but that was not being educated about the subject in it's most blatant form.

I went to Thorpe Park a couple of weeks back (For you 'merkins Thorpe Park's one of the bigger UK theme parks). I was smoking weed and my friend was taking MDMA, we both had a blast, me cos' I was sh!ttin myself on some of the bigger coasters, but also laughing my ass off the whole way. My mate reckon'd it didn't have much affect (he didn't take much) but it was all a little bit more trippy and surreal.

Drugs at theme parks = Great fun

Just as a reassurance, I'd never use any drug that didn't come either from the earth or a pharmacy (a chemist I guess you call it?) I suppose the only exception I'd ever make is LSD, as hits are so small they can't really be laced with anything too dangerous. =D

But back on topic, is mixing uppers and cannabis ever a bad idea (provided both are used with all proper cautions, of course)? My friend seems to think it's an awful idea, but I've never had a bad experience with it. =D

i don't think there will be any wierd chemical interactions if that is what you mean.

Don't mix meth with shrooms tho, that creates some wierd brain activty that basically makes you freak out.

it should be OK.
back in my partying days i tried everything...best combo I ever had was smoking, taking two uppers and some beers - the effect is an incredible high feeling and energy- best for nightclubs/dancing like a prick...

Yes! That's exactly what I'm trying to conince my friend of. Toking then having some ups is a percfect blend of emotion; euphoria and energy. =D
