DM 'Keep It Green' lad

Legacy UK Dank if he has in stock.

Was impressed by Dr Greenthumb.

Urban Leaf Company is probs the best weed on here - I don't buy often because it is too strong for me.

Canadian Imports had an excellent service and product when I used.

Thanks, have you used pistach?

Anybody with good recent ratings.
Welcome 😄

i can't read books high as the words don't go in, and i find it amazing that anyone can!

but here are a couple of recommendations:

- mason & dixon, by thomas pynchon. possibly my favourite novel, and i recently finished a fourth or fifth reading of it.

- ways of being, by james bridle. fascinating book about AI, climate change, computing, and how we humans relate to (or fail to relate to) the non-human world.

Same, thats where Audible comes in handy :D

oh good tip! and nice to know i'm not the only one who can't read when high.

i'm kinda resistant to audio books for some reason (i think podcasts fill that gap for me).

any favourite audiobook recommendations?

oh yeah I'm the same - can't really enjoy books stoned! Audio books are a good idea :)

Thomas Pynchon is such a good writer. My personal favourite is Gravity's Rainbow. Pretty sure that he would write a lot of his work completely high to help him get into the characters' heads...and then edit it sober. Which isn't a bad process. It's probably how he came up with a guy who's have sex when a missile falls, so they use his erection as an early warning system ;). Also a long, phantasmagorical trip down a toilet.

Aye, I really enjoyed the Unhappy Medium by TJ Brown, hilarious and Redshirts by John Scalzi is fun

Bro speed reading when stonned is hilarious, I just make up what I am reading haha!

Im in awe of anyone who can manage Pynchon . Tried n failed!

Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain

Mr Nice & Dope Stories by Howard Marks

You're reading Mr Nice again?

Shantaram

Septimus Heap books (kids books, don't care, love them and read them yearly, Harry Potter can fuck off)

Jeeves and Wooster - any books all awesome

Corfu trilogy - Gerald Durrell

The teachings of Don Juan - Carlos casteneda

Just a few of my faves , I read lots of different books

Wow - I can't believe I've never read Sherlock Holmes?! Sounds like an obvious thing... Need to add it to the list!

Seriously they are great and once you read them you understand why the name and stories haven’t disappeared enjoy !!!

Mr Nice - Howard Marks
Cosmic Trigger (Vols. 1,2,3 ) - Robert Anton Wilson

Mr Nice is definitely on my list. What did you think?

Def. worth a read

Joe Abercrombie is my current favourite author. Kind of grim fantasy.
He builds characters so well you feel like you know them. Start with the First Law trilogy or The Heroes if you just want to dip your toe in.
If you prefer audiobooks the narrator who reads for him, Steven Pacey, is awesome. I didn't like audiobooks at all before listening to him

new Abercrombie book out next month. Great books, especially when read by Pacey!

Been reading "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking",

Really interesting when you want to get into philosophy.

Mockingbird - Walter Tevis
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke
Snowblind - Robert Sabbag
The Name of The Wind - Patrick Rothfuss

Snowblind is amazing. Old school smuggling at its finest.

How about The Day Of The Jackal by Frederick Forsyth

for philosophy then Meditations by Marcus Aurelius of course 😀

This was excellent.

If you like fantasy that doesn't take itself too seriously, anything by Joe Abercrombie. I've just finished his latest ' The Devils' and blew through it in a week, it's fantastic.

Anything Jeff Noon. Start with Vurt though. Falling Out Of Cars is my favourite by him.

Thoroughly depressing dystopian shit, all set in a future Manchester.

It’s great. If you haven’t read Jeff. Read him immediately. It’s so bleak it totally cheers you up.

Automated Alice.

He rewrote Alice In Wonderland the minute it was out of copyright. Set it in Manchester. In the future. Published that shit.

You have to read Vurt and Pollen first, or it’s just nonsense. 🤣


Aldous Huxley.

Ol’ Bull Lee, Hunter S.

Foucault

Ol’ Palahniuk

Carl Sagan

Trainspotting. Irvine Welsh. It’s kinda Nirvana the band, in book form.

The Bridge. Ian Banks. Wasp Factory if you haven’t read it. Espedair Street is a great book also.

Lanark. Alasdair Grey.

Only Forward/Spares. Michael Marshall Smith.

Underrated books, that guy writes, if you like fun books to read.

Keats. Yeats. Byron. Pinter. Meadows. Morrissey. Mark E Smith. Linton Kwesi Johnson. The poetry of people like Mike Skinner and the master, John Cooper Clarke.

Dickens

HP Lovecraft.

John Lydon.

Kevin Shields.

Not books. Sorry.

Illuminatus!, Cosmic Trigger. Robert Anton Wilson. Carlos Casteneda. Because sometimes you want the bollocks to be true. Bit of Church of The Subgenius. Our captain and saviour. Roberto Dobbs.

Terence McKenna. Food of The Gods.

That’s a book.

Desmond Morris. Errol Morris

Alesdair Crowley. And yes. Jimmy Page did buy his Scottish retreat.

Look into that one. It’s a deep, interesting rabbit hole.

Allen Ginsberg, Tom Wolfe, Jack (Daniels) Kerouac.

Anais Nin

Henry Miller.

Sexytime.

Bill Gibson. Alan Moore. Alan Martin. Bill Drummond.

I’ve given you enough to be getting on with. I wish I could be reading all of that shit for the first time.

Don’t read any of these books or authors. They are a big part of why I’m so dysfunctional.

They do all cut through the bullshit kinda nicely. If you are open to it.

Any book by Thomas Pynchon. Vineland is my favourite

James by Percival Everett

Who Paid the Piper by Frances Stonor Saunders

River god.

American physco.

The shrinking man

Fight club

Easter island

Might be a bit late to the thread but ragdoll by daniel cole is a book i wish i could read for the first time again, crime drama/detective fic, highly recommend. They turned it into a tv series too, which i havent seen yet so cant say if its as good as the book.
Real life stuff i just got done reading the rodchenkov affair, which was a very interesting read although i suppose a bit of a niche topic 😅

Hi there, I fulfilled a life goal (sadly it took a spine injury which is why I smoke so much lol) by collecting and reading every single Terry Pratchett book, namely the Discworld series, in order ofc lol. Described Like Lord of the Rings, but with comedy.

The early few books he's still finding his feet in the world he creates imo but soon it becomes a wonderfully weaved web of hilarity and a comparison of the real world and his own.

Theres also something for everyone, i personally like the "Guards" series following the careers of the officers there.

So many but a random quote without even checking.

"It's impossible to get through the day without committing some kind of crime, unless of course you stand all day in a dark basement.
But even then, you're probalbly guilty of loitering"

Theres a Wizards side, a Witches side, Trolls who get more intelligent the colder they get and DEATH, who really likes curry, and has a daughter.

I discovered this series over 20 years ago and now, read them all several times, have a peruse, theres something for everyone and all 40 odd books can be read individually or in sections

Bram stokers dracula , Dune by frank herbert ,anything by philip k Dick .. Gileads blood by Dan abnett.

I've gone through loads of the SF Masterworks and I'd say the majority of them are really good.
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/6228.SF_Masterworks
Obviously it helps if you like your scifi.

Someone else I came across recently on reddit is Exurb1a; The Fifth Science
https://amzn.eu/d/cTb8lPV
Highly recommend, it's a collection of short stories that do sort of tie into one another. I loved it

A couple of books I've really enjoyed reading while stoned are,

Jerusalem by Alan Moore.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

Jerusalem in particular opened doors to other realms, time, the Universe and our place within it that have never closed.

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
Mr Nice by Howard Marks
Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh
Hit and Run: How Jon Peters and Peter Guber Took Sony for a Ride in Hollywood by Nancy Griffin
Have Gun Will Travel: Spectacular Rise and Violent Fall of Death Row Records by Ronin Ro

Zoroastrianism" is interesting! Originates back over 3,500 years ago! I need to look into this! The last religion in Egypt when Cleopatra was alive was the "Worship of Isis" which was was over 4000 years ago, yet Hinduism is 4500 years old, crazy!

Please check out Rudolf Stiener "Atlantis and Lumeria" you will love that!

Stephen King Different Seasons . I’m enjoying it so far .

If your up for a mind blowing allegedly true story that is amazing try getting your hands on a copy of "The Vertical Plane" its an account of the Dodderton (that might not be spelt correctly) messages. I don't wanna spoil the plot for you or any potential readers so I'll leave it at that, anyone wanting to do there own research pre reading is welcome. Just learning about the incident is very interesting.

The master and his emissary: the divided brain

Be here now! Best book for any psychedelic journey :)

A few of my absolute favourites:

A Confederacy of Dunces - by John Kennedy Toole

Darkness at Noon - by Arthur Koestler

Stoner - by John Edward Williams
(haha not our kind, it's the character's name)

Blood Meridian - by Cormac McCarthy

The Master and Margarita - by Mikhail Bulgakov

All of these books have become important parts of me ever since I read them :)

For non fiction:

Neurosis and Human Growth - by Karen Horney

^ this helped me out in a tough time! Really interesting re human psychology.

The Master & Margarita is wild! 😍

The Glass Bead Game - Herman Hesse. One of the best I’ve ever read.

Loved this https://www.amazon.co.uk/If-You-Survive-Wilson/dp/0804100039

But if you want something more light hearted, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wee-Free-Men-Discworld-Novel/dp/0552549053
