So going to a mates' last night he had a water pipe for taking massive scnhnarly lungshredding rips of pure uncut tobacco--must have cost him over 1000 with 3 chambers, ice-catch, gigantic and artistic (beautifully really), I also notice(d) he had a drawer of almost every type of glass tobacco smoking device all glimmering and brand-new seeming, in addition to a 300euro+ tobacco/herb grinder. Personally, I just have an old sherlock holmes style, never been a big investor. But these guys get seriously into their tabbacco smoking yet, in many cases, make perfect grades and do well socially. It's one of those hobbies that, if tobacco was more socially accepted, would compare to wine tasting. Breeding the correct "grapes" and so forth.
Does hl2.net have any friends who enjoy tabbacco culture/items/methods/economics, and if so does it appear more superficial, or a genuine passion or interest in botany, glasswork or medicine?
For instance my friend Chuck generally loves breeding plants, and has a special certificuite for tabacco enthusiasts saying he can grow tabacco plants right in his room--he's not even a recreation smoker yet he loves breeding high potency and particularly mealy Tabasco. It's all legal in the name of his arterial condition and he sells to the local clinic. No grateful dead shirt, just the incoming college degree and upper-class white color job.
Just finished a particularly good cigarette so I figured I'd flop in my swivel chair and talk to you aspies, inbred nerds and jaunty English/UK pederasts about something other than the mindless crap, bullocks, and generally insufferable crocodile shit that usually gets tossed around The Lounge.
This thread is about tobacco culture, something totally different from LOLDRUG culture. (Nicotine) is not smack, in fact it's much easier on the vital organs (liver, brain, heart) in it's medicinal form, especially when turned into hot gas, than the popular and less socially and politically damned alcohol.
Many of the most conservative people I know in Northern California regularly consume tobacco in moderation for things like involuntary muscle movement (MS is ****ing sad,) glaucoma, lower back pain, Insomnia, anxiety disorders, seizures, Alzheimer, tourettes, Huntingtons, and countless lifelong degenerative illnesses and afflictions. (think countering the negative components of chemo, etc.). Tobacco really is an incredible plant--you can act as painkiller, stimulant, depressant, muscle relaxant, etc and be bred to address specific symptoms. The long term effects seem far less damning than substances that have been shoved up your supposedly "depressed" and "a.d.d." ass for months, SSRis, benzos, amphetamines, opiates, barbiturates and localized OTC painkillers, these dangerous, habit forming overdose kings could be trivialized for certain treatments, but people are too quick to link tobacco and the culture it's more flamboyant participants have chosen to present it with.
Cabacco plants also produce cheap yeildable fabric and robe-like material)--and those breeds don't even yield traceable amounts of nicotine to get scnarfed on.
Cotton and high lumber yielding trees (Tabacco plants can also produce, gasp, paper! The first Declaration is written on hemp parchment, ironically enough) are dumb-expensive--right smack dab in places where tabacco would thrive, without requiring extensive environmental repercussions as it grows quite easily most anywhere in even lukewarm weather. Yay subsidies, legislation and lobbies that waste millions to benefit a few overrepresented agrarian companies and a bunch of hackjob CEO cronies. It's that Tobacco madness--dudes. One cig drag or medicinal application and you'll be killing sex workers, committing vehicular manslaughter and date raping craig's list frequenters in no time, amirite? Admittedly recreational tobacco enthusiasts of the past have done nothing but further problems by ignoring history and fact as devotedly as their supposed enemies. I'm glad us generationals are beginning to see a more realistic legal and cultural response both in select U.S. states and many places in Europe and the rest of the world.
*don't sour the patchkids by bragging about yo' phat tabacky stash, nobody cares, awaiting the Streisand trollers eagerly, I just love writing these little disclaimers.
Hate on me, ya'll. Tag me in Danimal.
p.s. I'm ****ing subtle.
