Why doesn't it work?

Post by Bouma for full back »

Can anyone explain why I can be off my head on bud in Amsterdam but get absolutely nothing out of bigger amounts of exactly the same stuff in the UK? Don't know if any of this would influence my receptivity - I suffer from depression (apart from when I am in Amsterdam) and also take variable amounts of prozac and amitriptyline plus tobacco and alcohol.
Would I be better off making brownies?
Cheers in advance for any advice/tips.

no...you'd be better getting rid of the booze as alcohol is a depressent....i suffer from depression too....refuse to take the crap doctors dish up as they cause more probs than good....for me weed stops it all to a certain point...and it helps injury pain too....as for the buzz to quantity issue i can only say...change yer dealer as they are dishing you crap by the sounds o things...

Good advice, echc1. I would have said the same thing. Lose the booze.

Dude I feel your pain easily 95% of dealers in the UK are shovelling us soapshite or crap fibreglass weed, its depressing. The bastards should be strung up on lampposts.

10 years ago I used to date a woman who had the best source of hash I'd ever known. Certainly better than most hashes I've ever tried in Dam upto early last year. She never lasted and neither did the hash!. But What I learnt back then as a rule of thumb was better quality was usually obtained from the more "local" dealers Who had no big agenda of becoming rich, just paying there way and paying a few bills.

But alcahol is certainly no help in any way. In saying that I think the whole Amsterdam scene to a point helps the whole cannabis effect. As I never feel the same high or stoned on the exact same gear when smoking it back home!.

Yeh man.
Ditch the booze and get off the Prozac its bad shit. I know the Doc probably prescribed it but it is bad shit (Trust me).
Also get yourself a grow on to keep yourself busy and the depression will drift away. You will then have a nice crop of quality unmessed with bud.
There we go cured :lol:
Nice1 :D Be happy

Thanks for all the advice or should I say tips. Just found out that I've wasted a small fortune by using cigarette filters in my joints for the last four years or so. I started late and I'm largely a solitary smoker so I didn't know that that was a super way of stopping most of the THCs getting through. You live and burn. I shall try to cut back on the booze and find a different dealer though.

If I'm smoking with others I use a cardboard roach If I'm on my own I use a cig filter Can't say I've noticed any difference in strength either way.

Dude, it's easy after reading this last post! It's the damn cigarette filter! how can you even taste something through that???

Use a morrocan filter for hash: break off 1 - 1,5 cm off the tip of your fag and use that as a filter.

for weed make a cardboard filter like the ones they give u in dam..
