Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang (managed to see them in NYC for Rock The Bells 2010 performing the whole album was a dream comes true) and the second best album for me would be Gang Starr - Moment of Truth

I’ll start Dr Dre 2001 and Bob Marley and the wailers.
finally someone said Blue Lines. It's odd because in a lot of ways musically I don't rate it highly, it's kind of clumsy in parts, some of the ideas are underdeveloped, some of it almost makes me cringe. But there was just something so special about that time and the sound felt so new and yet familiar. Even though their later stuff is "better" Blue Lines has such a permananet special place in my heart.
Prodigy - Music For Jilted Generation
Leftfield - Leftism
Could list plenty but these 2 are special 😎🥳🤯👽

Leftism is immense. It's been a while, I'm gonna have to fish it out the old collection.
Time well spent. As for The Prodigy, I saw them at Glasto in '95. They were flying high off the back of Music for the Jilted Generation. I vividly remember Keith (RIP) rolling onto the stage in a giant hamster ball. They were awesome. So much energy.
dark side by pink floyd and blonde by frank ocean. i absolutely rinse both year after year :)
Full albums I've actually listened to over and over are "The Wall" & "Graceland"
Really love listening to Graceland on a fresh sativa high)
Really love listening to Graceland on a fresh sativa high)
Graceland brings back memories of my mum blasting that album most days when I was a kid
That's how I first heard it too when my mums friend got them the album back in the early 80s)
Tom Waits "Blue Valentine", Ry Cooder "Bop Till You Drop" - honourable mention to Joni Mitchell "Blue", Janis Joplin "Pearl", David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name", and a gazillion others...
I know I’m cheating but I got
Outkast- Aquemini (and stankonia)
Fugees - The Score
Jay Z - The Blueprint
Kanye - MBDTF
Nas- Illmatic

I’m a grump about Ill Communication. It has some great tracks on it. But the jazz filler does nothing for me.
What's going on- Marvin Gaye..almost goes as a mix album the way the songs blend into one another. So relevant to today too.
Another I've played to death over the years is Joni Mitchell- Blue. Just a sublimely chilled album.
Many more, but these two I think I have probably played the most in my lifetime so far

If you don’t know…wake up! 💯❤️
Since my favourite 2 have already been picked by loads of people, I'll go for...
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Portishead - Dummy

Portishead - Dummy
I can safely say that Appetite for Destruction is the album I've listened to the most. Carousel by Subcircus has had well over 20 years love from me as well
Dark Side of the Moon has got to be my first pick. Millionaires by James is great when you've got some sativa running through your system.
The b-side of the sit down single is Live at the Manchester Gmex. On headphones is still the best crowd singing of a song to date.
Never heard Dub Side of the Moon until today- bloody great👍- so big thanks for the heads up!!!
Wow!!!! Just WOW!
Dubside of the moon 🌙
Amazing..... how this has escaped me is beyond me 🤷♂️ I love darkside that much I have the prism tattood on my chest

2 is incredibly difficult, and I can't be the only one with eclectic tastes and a butterfly mind where these will all change regularly anyway. So I'll go with:
Ash - 1977
and
Kent - Hagnesta Hill (available in English and Swedish, so surely I get to choose both?)

"The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd: Released in 1973, this album is considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time. It features a conceptually unified theme and explores various philosophical and existential topics. Tracks like "Money," "Time," and "Us and Them" are widely loved.
"Thriller" by Michael Jackson: Released in 1982, "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time and a cultural phenomenon. It revolutionized pop music, blending various genres and delivering iconic hits such as "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and the title track "Thriller."

Muse - Absolution( regardless if you like the band the story of the end of the world from start to end is amazing!)
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York

Dark Side of the Moon, best album ever, bar none. 50 years old this year, same as me!
950 weeks on Billboard 200 chart! 750 of them consecutive!!
Lee 'Scratch" Perry - Open the Gate. Sadly deleted and expensive to buy, but can be downloaded online. 2 CDs of heavyweight 12". Jimmy Cliff got me listening to reggae, this album burnt it into my soul.

This is tough but going on repeats alone I reckon these pip it,
Riding with the king - Clapton and BB King
We're new here - Jamie xx and Gil Scott-Heron

So glad someone has shouted out Jamie xx, amazingly talented music producer the first album with him and his sister The Xx I can’t even guess how many times I’ve listened to it, song 1 known as intro is a work of art. I’m gutted they or he have released so little but sadly he probably earns more producing for other artists who are more mainstream?
Not heard of your other suggestions but will check them out based on your clearly good taste !

There are loads of full albums I’ll listen to…naming just two, well the two most recent ones that spring to mind for me Acid Bath-when the kite string pops and Oasis - definitely maybe not a bad track on either one.
My picks:
The Velvet Underground & Nico - just a classic album. Spaceman 3 "The Perfect Prescription" with an honorable mention for Ode to Street Hassle

Script of the Bridge by The Chameleons. Some friends told me they would bury the album with me, I'd go to sleep listening to it.
Scary Monsters by Bowie, time of life thing for me 'Teenage Wildlife'.

Mrdeeds36, yes it is, blinding track, good to hear from another fan. 'Up the down escalator' is my anthem for a crazy world today.

"They sit at their tables and throw us the scraps
For Christ's sake leave us something!
Now they can erase you at the flick of a switch
How long now will it take now?
There must be something wrong boys"
I adore this period of post punk before brit pop came along and fudged it. IMO lol
Swamp Thing from Strange Times is another brilliant song.

You nailed it with the lyric mate.
They were a good band live, too.
I agree with you.

Hi Mate, Got 'Script of the bridge' playing again this weekend. The album seems more poignant than ever.
Light up and have a good weekend.

Hey bud, I'm well thanks and intend to have a good weekend, it's my bday on Monday so have started early with some very nice and mood lifting Cap Junky, then for some stand up comedy me thinks.
Script of the Bridge will always be applicable to me. Finding some albums feels like finding treasure and it's one of those albums, as is From the lions mouth by The Sound, which if you haven't heard I profoundly recommend. Have a good'n mate and tell me, what are you smoking on matey and have you chonged anything recently with strong euphoric/giggly affects?

Happy Birthday mate.
I will be listening to that recommendation later today.
Smoking 'red apple' Leb, 'apple tart' Maroc hashish and just got some 'Sunset Sherbet' and 'Billy Kimber' bud, all amazing.
Happy birthday. Crispy

Hi Mr, Really liked that album, how did I miss that? Do you like 'sad lovers and giants' and 'and also the trees' ?
Never heard of either band before this shout. I listened to Epic Garden Music this morning on a hike and it's fantastic love the use of the keyboard and you can really hear early elements of shoegaze taking shape on tracks like "Lope" and "ART".. This is a very good band crisp.. Try listening to Soul Mining and Dusk by The The and tell me what you think. Anyway stay cool compadre.
dEUS The Ideal Crash and Pretty Hate Machine NIN. Never tire of those two... There are many more but these two popped out my cheesebox first.
Its an absolute epic album. That bit in Fountain and Fairfax where Happy Chichester's piano wraps around Barb's cello is heaven. Its as good an album as Black Love for sure, some fans prefer it but BL is the GOAT.
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless. Still sounds like nothing else.
…And You Will Know us By The Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes - possibly not the best album ever. But I just love it.

Hard to pick just 2, and I see a nearly all male list below...so:
Baduizm - Erykah Badu
Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
Midtown 120 Blues - DJ Sprinkles (couldn't leave this utter classic out!)

Fleetwood Mac especially. Playing that album on a good car stereo on a nice road in the summer. Great times....👌🎶
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Cheap Thrills - Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Aqualung - Jethro Tull. Both are extraordinary (to me, anyway) with a good dose of THC.
Just 2 …thats tricky!!
Some have already mentioned primal scream screamadilca. I played underworld dubnobasswithmyheadman a lot as well, but I think I will actually plump for depeche mode violator and u2 Joshua tree, 2 albums that got played a lot and got me through life…

Bit random but....

Reading the comments, we’re such a bunch of mixed people here haha (GOOD) I think I saw every genre. I don’t really have 1 album I like but it’s one song from a few if you get me.
For me it's got to be lupe fiasco lasers album deluxe edition. And Hopsin No shame album. Can listen to every song on both and never get bored

vouched for/best edibles uk?
Eddy's edibles is in the link
I am too much of a glutton to trust myself with edibles. They look too tasty.
vouched for/best edibles uk?
Looking to grab some edibles but the range seems so vast in price/quality and types of products. Would appreciate any reccomendations/personal experinces. Looking for both some chill/subtle edibles aswell as face melters for a rainy day. Sending love to all my biggas x
I have a very high tolerance (took 125mg on a whim yesterday afternoon and it was mildly trippy at one point, but barely touched me otherwise).
So from my point of view I keenly consider mg/$, and the best things I've found have been 500mg chocolate bars around the $25 mark. Elevated Eats does a good one, but it's out of stock, and Pistach too. You can dose more easily if you have a low tolerance (I envy you all!), or you can scoff half a bar and have an amazing sleep eventually like I have to.

I’ve tried some 10mg mimosa live resin edibles from the states on here. Lovely and chilled out. They do come from the us.
I’ve tried a bald eagle bakery one too I think d9 & rso….maybe 40mg…wiped me out nicely!

Hello there,
I'm getting some decent reviews/feedback on these.
I've also got candied almonds and milkshake up for grabs too.

Eddy’s lollipops 🍭. Took these to the snooker earlier this year and didn’t see a single ball potted.
GVC’s cheeba chews. Had a couple before my flight recently. Was a bit wild in the airport

TGT got some Dank Gummies at a good price to try as a one off, $20 maybe? They treat me well, half trips me out, 1/3 is a nice buzz. Well worth a go
If you are a noob to edibles start low and don’t listen to the Machines! Seriously there is no benefit in too much when it comes to edibles. You will quickly understand your sweet point….
For Face Melter, maybe Shroom of the Loom? I find that the quantity of THC MG is the right amount I want to have a crazy good time cause I got a bit of a high tolerance. 200MG is where I like to be. I really enjoyed the skulls which were 40MG a skull, only took half and it was quite powerful and had a great time. Might try their fudge in the future.
I would say try Eddy's Edibles because mostly all of his edibles are quite low in MG so that would be suited just for taking a small amount to relax. But it seems the page is gone, its only hashbar now.
Tried TGT one off gummies and they were okay, had a hectic time playing V Rising on them for around a hour and a bit then returned to normal.

Hi there, we have a well reviewed range of edibles on offer, including gummys, chocolate bars and hard candies.
Thank you
Thank you

We will be listing some Rainbow Belt bites tomorrow, same 250mg packs.

Gassed (the vendor) has been by far the best edibles I have had to date. 100mg per sweet (depending on the sweet) and has a good variety to choose from. Definitely worth a try.
my tolerance is unusually high (takes me at least 300 mg to feel slightly buzzed) so i've bought these from medi-mart: 2 packs for £37.50 (shipping and btc fees included 2000-2400mg so...)
i'd call that value 😭😭

If you liked ip man, something like chocolate might be up your street, it’s a kung fu flick about an autistic girl
I was working in a video shop. Had all sorts of mad characters, celebs etc come in.
So this older lady comes in, starts talking about Kung Fu movies which was unusual as she really didn't look the part, whatever that looks like. Starts talking about Ip Man which at the time was totally off my radar. Gives me a pirate disc. I never saw her again. Thanks older lady.

Not favourite, but for some reason Run Lola Run came into my head as a suggestion. Do not watch it dubbed, watch it in German with subtitles. Completely different vibe.
I couldn’t name 1, I think my head would explode from trying to decide 🤯 You’re in luck though, I’ve got a big fat list of films i’ve been watching in my notes 😂 What kind of movies do you like?
If it’s stoner-esque films you’re after there’s loads like the big lebowski, dazed n confused, half baked, friday, fear n loathing in vegas, harold n kumar, how high, cheech n chong, there’s a few off the top of my fried head i can think of 😂
American beauty’s a great film as well but dunno if counts as a stoner film 🤔
Napoleon dynamites always got a special place in my heart as well, always loved that film
I watched beasts of no nation, and city of god again over the weekend and i’d forgotten how good they were, would highly recommend if you haven’t seen them already… Also watched saltburn a couple weeks ago but thought it was trying a bit too hard and didn’t love it or find it too shocking, but it’s got the whole world talking atm so might be worth a watch if you haven’t seen it yet
Here’s a lil list of some great films i’ve watched over the past few months though, interstellar, seven samurai, 12 angry men, shutter island, no country for old men, there will be blood, grand budapest hotel, train spotting 2, arrival, moonlight, new bladerunner, social network, spirited away, pulp fiction, hateful 8, back to the future
ofc there’s some absolute classics you have to watch at some point if you haven’t already, shawshank, godfather, alien, space odyssey, citizen kane, jurassic park, the matrix, fight club, inception, raiders of the lost ark, the shining, se7en, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, silence of the lambs, gladiator, good the bad n the ugly, do the right thing, forrest gump, taxi driver, saving private ryan, one flew over the cuckoos nest, american psycho… hopefully there’s enough there to find something you like, sorry for the obscenely long lists 😅

Wow, you like your movies! I haven’t watched a new movie that’s impressed me for some time…
Watched Event Horizon for the third time instead though- blinder!👌
Watched Event Horizon for the third time instead though- blinder!👌
Exactly, I really don’t watch movies but I ended up watching the old school “snakes on the plane” and gave me a thrill to watch some movies to reminisce
I’ve got my amazing old housemates to thank for that, they both used to write film reviews so would watch a new film every day, and then over covid it was like 3 films a day 😂 so i got really into the films with them
And then it started to get really niche, I’d walk into the living room and end up getting really into some old artsy black n white swedish horror film or something! So i’ve got them to thank for getting me into the films 😊

Ok, you and I have incredibly similar taste in films it seems as I love almost all of them.
Have you seen Yojimbo? A classic, and The Good The Bad and The Ugly is practically identical (or, ripped off completely...) but with gunslingers instead of samurai.
Big immission from your stoner list for me would be Withnail & I. A true classic.

Yojimbo is an absolute classic! Reminds me a lot of fist full of dollars if you’ve seen that
Of course, how could I forget Withnail and I… truly british stoner film never goes amiss 😂

So easy to do with Leone, so many great films. I think my fav is the same as B0W13 in once upon a time in the west. Feel like it’s one of those faultless films that gets everything right
Easy to do they are all brilliant, i think Once Upon a Time in The West is my favourite of his maybe, Ennio Morricones score and that opening scene!
Fully agree with you there, think that’s got to be my fav Leone film, just can’t pick any faults with it at all!
You’re an absolute legend!!! Looks like I’m gonna be snacking on popcorn for a long time with your suggestions!
Get a lil movie bucket list written down and you can start ticking them off 1 by 1, you’ll be entertained for lots of evenings to come 👍 can get some nice bud and snacks in and you’ve got a perfect chill evening sorted :)
Papito this is what I’m talking about, Friday night in with snacks and a fat bong, kick it back and movie binge!!!!
In no particular order
Pulp Fiction
The Wolf Of Wall Street
Human Traffic
Superbad
Pineapple Express
Old School
I'm also gonna add Nobody with Bob Odenkirk. Expected nothing from that movie. And loved every minute. It shits all over the John Wick franchise imo

Most underrated animated film ever and funny as fuck is
‘The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientist’s’. Made by Aardman studios. Just sublime. No idea why they never made a sequel!
For an intelligent thought provoking movie try ‘The Secret in Their Eyes’ Best foreign subtitled film I’ve ever seen. There’s a football stadium scene which blows me away! Both marvellous stoned. Enjoy

I watched rocky 1 , 2 and the best with mr t...3, with my 8 year old daughter and 11 year old son and they absolutely loved them especially rocky 3. I really enjoyed too, great simple story and characters. The music is so emotive and along with the epic final scenes, made me well up.
I might do rocky 4 with kids at the weekend but that is as far as I go. As the cheese ratio is too much for me after the series peaked at 3.

How is Nationalism Any Different from Racism?
I don't want to give preference to someone the same color as me so why should I prefer someone for being born in the same country as me (or worse they are ordained a citizen by some twat)?
Basically it derives from the same origins. There are certain laws of ethnic relations in history of humankind, such as:
1. law of percentage: lets say a black person somewhere in gothenburg or copenhagen would trigger an amused curiosity and the outpouring of sincere sympathy, however, if you "inject" immigrant workers up to the fateful threshold of 4-8 percent and you will already have a racial situation - the nature of social relationships changes, engendering ethnic tensions, global reflexes painful to describe. The more the percentage increases, the more class struggle transforms itself into racial confrontation. Basically, this percentage is sufficient to make racial discrimination appear spontaneously in people who previously believed itself wholesome and devoid of any racist sentiment.
2. The law of assimilability: If majority and the minority belong to the same large ethnic group (all are white, or all a asian), then assimilation occurs progressively. For example, Spanish or Portuguese workers despised in France not so long ago, integrated themselves into population within the space of one generation; same for descendants of corsicans and the poles during napoleonic era, same for bambara minority living in senegal. But if the ethnic and cultural gap is too big, tensions are exacerbated with time. Like African Blacks and Arabs find themselves in this situation in Europe. Coexistance basically becomes possible only in a truly Socialist state or a state that has adopted a high morality philosophy.
3. the law of distance: like two ethnic groups that are not fighting over the same living space or same market and occupy different territories separated by space can enter into normal relationships. Like that an alliance can be explained during world war 2 between hitlers germany and japan. or relationship of pretoria with israel state.
4. the law of phenotype: basically physical appearance. It would matter little tgat botha and zulu in africa have the same genotype (same genes in the chromosomes) and it would have no influence on their daily lives because their external features are so different.
Laws of class struggle according to history applies only to societies previously made homogeneous by violence. Funny, that the most modern nations actually went through this bestial struggles before (Americas, australia, new zealand, good part of asia, greenland, huge part of pacific, scandinavia, etc, etc).For example Blacks of Americas were brough over to work the land, while the indigenous races were being destroyed. So, the "more advanced" barbarious conquerors exterminated/drove out whole populations, devastated or abandoned productive forces they they simply did not know how to use. This specific law is one of my favourite... how spartan domination ended by crumbling particularly because of the great numeric weakness of their REAL citizens. Because their society consisting of spartan conquerors and lowly helots both belonged to the same large white-skinned 'race', ethnic differences became blurred and it allowed class differences appeared only in an economic sense.
Same goes for Rome and Carthage, Rwanda-Burundi, Francs and Gallo-Romans.
Have a look at the american immigration laws and how it progressed throghout 19-20 centuries. This law also gave birth to so called intra-european racism, etc.
We forget that the passage from a clan to a monolingual tribe and to ethnic group and to nationality historically was a result, a consequences of clans exogamy. It is still widely discussed by specialists. But it marked starting point of the current civilization.
Endogamy was prohibited and we, humans, just started fucking people from the outside kkk several neibourhing clans contracted marriage ties that led them eventually to speak same languages despite that their original idioms were different.
The number of clans to gather together to work a more or less powerful tribe didnt follow any rules and depended mostly on the fertility and extent of the lands occupied by the group. Thus was born nationality.
In the course of history, when two groups of people argued over a vital economic space, the slightest ethnic difference can be magnified, temporarily serving as a pretext for social and political cleavage: differences in physical appearances, colour of your passport, language, religions, morals and customs.
We forget that basically future generations must forget about the dead so that the conquering people can undergo a rebirth with an angelic consience.
Why do we almost idolise, for example, conquistadors, holy crusaders and vikings? Pillagers, rapists, murderers and worse.
Most of the things we learn and follow, most of the times, blindly, things we consider as truths and solid facts, the very foundation of our personal universes - it was predominantly build based on someones ideologies.
Books, that our kids and us read, are also written under certain circumstances, conditions, requirements, with certain motivations. Dictated by an ideology.
Sooo.... sorry for the massive message. It just questions like this trigger something inside me, something that i consciously try to understand and overcome. For before we are races or nationalities, boys or girls, gays or straight, we are humans.
Peace yo.

Interesting points. I just came across this forum and will make a contribution. Meanwhile, on the topic of Scottish Nationalism, I have myself proposed Independence For England! We English (whatever that means through consensus) vote in a referendum to dissolve the union of England and Scotland. Never mind what they want, how about what we want, which may be to separate from them, along with the subject nation of Wales. We'll have our own oven ready breakfast and our own national covid death toll, while we surrender the last shreds of our integrity to the fucking Yanks and the fucking Chinese whose government leaders wouldn't make the groove as a couple of Pox Doctor's clerks.
Please dont have the idea that all Scots want independence
. Plenty are and always will be happy to be part of the union. There is more at play than just Scottish Independence, certain elements see Scottish independence as a means to help another cause. Understand that Independence of Scotland is not the endgame for a lot of SNP supporters.

The whole SNP "independence" thing is a facade.
The SNP want to leave our union and join the EU club because they'll give them more money than Westminster does.
They still want to be financially "dependent", just a more generous sugar daddy.
I'm talking about the SNP, not all Scots :)

High Raskolnikov. Your post showed as a comment on mine so You're addressing me, then. I have no intention of stating anything about what Scots want. My point is that I consider an English Independence Referendum is incumbent on ourselves to determine our Englishness without the input of the other three nations. Devolution, revolution, phooey! We want ablution. Wash our hands of the lot of you. Do we? Who does? Has anyone got this underway? Sturgeon and Salmond? Something fishy about those two!
I am British not Scottish or Welsh or Irish or English but British.
So the idea of England going on its own is kind of laughable.
I prefer this great country as one nation,I have lived all over UK so I class myself as British. Ever since devolved countries we had loads of petty arguments enough of the arguments and do there jobs.
The Scottish independence route will end up like n ireland scottish people are divided straight down the middle so can see issues battle grounds comes to mind bombings etc etc just like n ireland AND its not going to happen anyway thank god.:D
Or you english going be invaded of all the people that do not want there countries independent lol.
Plus the Queen will never allow it to happen she is still the most powerful lady in this country and can override any laws in the UK set by government it is in the small print when she signed it over to the government. She has her palaces all over the UK.
She wants to send to her son to America to answer for the crimes he is guilty as fk otherwise he would have gone over and answered there questions on very serious sex crimes.
Guilty as fk he is by dodging the request of the FBI and CIA law to himself hiding behind mummy he is.
I am British loud and proud !!!

I’m British and Scottish mate. Think it is possible to be both. I’m not interested in Independence and believe it will not happen and will be a disaster if it does. In Scotland Salmond courted a certain block vote and got it. That is what has got the snp to where they are. That and shortbread tin thinking. They will soon want to let over 14 s vote. As I said in another post, Scottish Independence is not the endgame for a lot of snp.
I wouldn’t blame the English people if they started to see things this way but we are still all better as a union and I think you know this. Sturgeon and Salmond are just typical politicians mate who lying is a big part of the job description. There has been a huge change in Scotland in my lifetime where the working class vote has moved away from labour to the snp. Labour has shot themselves in the foot so many times but also the snp politics has changed. I have been on this earth a long time and the snp have changed so much. Sturgeon is still using her bloody daily briefing up here to try to indoctrinate the nation. I’m going to stop here as I am ranting.
Not English, then. To be born an Englishman is to win first prize in the lottery of life. That life being the infliction of Imperialism on 25% of the world's population. Nothing wrong with that, was there?
Sturgeon's manifesto was just a wish list, impossible to accomplish. I don't want Scotland to leave. We may rib each other on things but I'd like to think we have each others back when things get tough. We live on the same island. Crazy to break up.
It was a joke mate but fuck, Vietnam. Is that what you are comparing Scottish Independence to?
lol. ok, i'll bite...
nationalism is a term for those with common interests as citizens of the same country working together for mutual benefit and/or pride.
racism is a hatred of one or more person/s where skin colour is the basis used for the defining attribute.
neither is mandatory last I heard.

Scotland's nationalist party don't want to exclude races, they want independence from another countries rule. It's not about racism.
Proper kettle of fish this one! but I couldn’t resist throwing my 2 cents in.
Racism is an inherent belief that one group are superior to another based purely on membership to said group; that for example being white would mean that you are superior to non-whites by virtue of your whiteness. Although this is of course the most common example, it’s important to remember that racism has been perpetrated by, and against, a multitude of groups such as the current situation in China with Uighur Muslims and so on.
Nationalism is the identification with ones nation and the desire to see that nation succeed. often, but not exclusively, to the detriment of other nations.
One can be a nationalist but not a racist, but I would argue that it’s quite rare to meet a racist who is not also a nationalist.
I don’t think nationalism is always a bad thing - we saw for example at the onset of COVID-19 in Europe a large degree of nationalism as all of these countries that are part of the Schengen Agreement suddenly conveniently ignored the treaty in order to shut their borders and protect their citizens (uselessly, as it turned out) against the spread of C19.
However, nationalist sentiment needs to be controlled carefully because the downside to it could be seen, you could argue, In the Capitol siege/riots on January 6th as nationalist fervour tends to spread and morph very rapidly and almost always ends in violence and almost always ends in Fascism
Sorry for the wall of text but this is such a fascinating topic!

a lot of nationalists aren't so much racists as exclusionary. they believe in a social contact that only exists amongst members. outsiders are not part of the deal.
Just like you would naturally have a preference for feeding your own family in your own home, before you concerned yourself with feeding anyone else.
This would not mean you hated other people, or didn't wish the best for them.
I think Nationalism is often confused with extreme Right wing ideologies, when it could be Left or Right really.

Yes you could look into the SNPs distant past or alternatively you could look at what the Tories are doing right now as we speak under your very nose.
It is funny how a conversation about nationalism is related to the SNP when anyone with eyes can see that British nationalism is the one being pushed everywhere in Britain.
The SNP didn't spend 2 million quid on a set of blue curtains and two Union Jacks and it is not the SNP who are plastering everything with the Butcher's apron either!

Because we can change our nationality as it’s make believe. You cannot change your DNA which is real
Not synonymous, but it's an interesting point.
In some sense, I think it is an individual and academic choice to be patriotic (even that is turned into a dirty word now), root for your country or be proud of it voxally. It's OK to like your country if you really do. You do live there after all. It's just a country. Other countries are not minorities in their own country as the British are not here.
As you allude to, it is a lottery, not a skill, being British (or Irish for that matter). There is little merit to being "proud" I agree. But it doesn't oppress anyone or anything in itself. It is a way to preserving culture and way of life. You can't pick who you think should be able to do that.
Otherwise, the takeaway is, only the oppressed are allowed to be proud of anything and preserve culture. What kind of world is that?
I do think that no matter what, being proud of your race is pointless, stupid and divisive.
It suggests a nexus between a superiority or exceptionality and racial group.
After all, skin colour is decided only by a few alleles in the genome and indicates very little about one's charachter.

Racism is necessarily exclusionary. But Nationalism isn't.
In general I am wary of nationalism, but there are times when it has achieved positives.

I think it is oxytocin that causes the problems as it creates aggressive in-grouping, be it from the innateness from skin colour or the innateness from where someone was born.
There was a study I linked to but there is more out there about the dark side of oxytocin. There was quite a few articles in the dumber section of media about giving men oxytocin to fix their aggression problems when in fact it might be a major factor in causing them.

Nationalism has more positive range for example promoting culture. Racism is usually associated with negative feelings about other races.
They both seem doomed if you ask me.

There seem to be a prevailing perspective of an individualistic view on what racism is, i.e. the hatred or superiority of another race, nation, or ethnicity, however this view is overly simplistic as racism is structural and systemic and is only dependent on the individual when their actions are supported by the larger system.
One can be xenophobic, discriminatory and/or prejudiced against others from other places without it being racism if they are not the dominant race/ethnicity/or culture.
Racism = power + prejudice. That is the current understanding and definition of racism in social sciences and some dictionaries (as with Merriam Webster, which was updated two or three years ago). That is not to say that racial prejudice or discrimination is allowable or tolerable. It's not. However to quantify both types of prejudice (the one that is solely individual and the one that is supported by systemic structures) as the same thing or equivalent is false.
One is an individual opinion and has no greater repurcussions than that person's world's or actions, the other however plays into a wider narrative of oppression that reinforces the structural oppression and contributes to and reinforces societal and structural discrimination.
Nationalism is different in several ways.
Firstly, pride in ones nation does not mean an inherent prejudice or discrimination against those that come from other nations (although all too often it does manifest in such a way).
Secondly, if those expressing nationalist sentiment are not the dominant authority over said nation, then it is not racism but discrimination and prejudice as they lack the power to manifest that discrimination through institutions or on a structural scale. This type of nationalism often manifests as a resistance to colonial and imperial forces. In those cases the nationalism is not being the of an ideological superiority or innate belief in the dominance of one nation over another, but rather a resistance to such.
Therefore nationalism and racism only become the same when said nation propogates their dominance and superiority over others while simultaneously systemically oppressing other nations or supporting existing structural oppression and prejudice.

I'm a nationalist. I want England and all our major cities to be English and not resemble Bangladesh. That makes one a racist nowadays.
If the reason you give for those cities resembling Bangladesh is people of other races, that's kinda the definition of racism. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a closet racist.
If it's the colour of people's skin you're referring to, and you're suggesting you have to be white to be regarded as english, then yes, you are. Not just nowadays, always.

Guilt trips.
Good morning, noon or evening everyone! I just had to make a post centering around guilt tripping. Have any of you lovely vendors experienced people trying to guilt trip you into free stuff?
I won't name names or go into specifics but this has been a problem recently. Somebody trying to wrangle extras or free stuff because their friend has supposedly passed away. If they're doing it to us, chances are it's not only us, so I'm curious to know have any other vendors had this recently, and how did you deal with it?
I purposefully threw professionalism out the window on my last reply because this has been an ongoing thing. I think I did the right thing. Trying to be professional would've just let this cycle carry on. I love and appreciate anybody who messages, purchases or shows support for this small business in any way, but please for the love of God don't try and emotionally manipulate me into giving you free things. A lot of orders already have extra weight or little things added.

It is interesting. I know and have known vendors on here who are a little "too nice" i.e.genuinely nice people without the 'street smarts' that go with the trade. Rogue biggas can smell it and exploit it and they do.
A more common tactic is to place an order and then immediately getting threatening and abusive saying they haven't received it to get a fast reship. Some vendors roll over without shall we say...'due diligance'. Others won't take orders from noobs or those without reputation.
The sympathy play is a tough one. Dammit, I'm not a vendor and I've sent gear to people who I think need it more than I do! But it is interesting that they seem to play on certain vendors and quickly get nasty when they don't get what they want.
Ain't easy being a Biggy vendor. Thanks for everything you do xx

Tysm for the reply Polly, you're too right about people taking kindness for weakness. With LB being how it is, I definitely don't treat it the same way I'd treat a bud line, which I try and steer clear from these days. Being nice is kinda part of being on LB, not having to go to some dodgy arsehole who only listens to money. The reship thing is soo annoying tho!!! Like give it a chance to even be picked up from the postbox!!! I've only ever had to send one reship and the person was honestly a pleasure to deal with, I didn't mind doing it at all.
And thank you so much for the kind words! You do an awful lot for the LB community yourself, so a huge respect to you for that <3

I can be cynical when i want tho i wasn't there, i've said it before let the vendors look after themselves.
Maybe this is better for you and those that liked your cynical remark.
Vendors take the piss just as much as biggas, imo more way more.
Some happy vendors here are looking for one single thing and it's so obvious, maybe not to a moneybags but nonetheless plainly obvious.

Some happy vendors here are looking for one single thing and it's so obvious, maybe not to a moneybags but nonetheless plainly obvious.
I wholeheartedly agree having used LB and other methods of online "shopping" when I stayed back home. A lot more vendors than we'd like to think just don't care. It's a shame. Atm rozzyexpress doesn't have a great deal of stock since the money just isn't there to put down on bigger amounts, but if you saw how low my profit margins are and how hard it is for me rn to get anything that isn't A. dirty af/commercial, B. already on littlebiggy or C. too expensive for the quality of it then my intentions would be crystal clear. I'm very new to the area I currently stay in so my connections are limited unless I make a 1200mi all round drive. Although on a daily basis I'm meeting new people and exploring new avenues. I know you're not pointing fingers but I had to clear that up.
It is a massive shame that financial gain is some peoples sole intention, but I think at the end of it all the people that genuinely care will prevail and the people who don't will fail. I think Ross (not his real name) who previously operated RE full time was haphazardly taking whatever he could get at times, for example I didn't like that shake at all. I would not have bought that and I actually refused 2kg of it for a price that would've been able to bring in 2-3x the money, but I like to think the coming weeks, months and years will show what rozzyexpress is truly about.
I really appreciate the reply and think you're pretty spot on about how little some really care.

Up to you mate, you just don’t sound your normal self, that’s all. Most of your posts are about ‘biggie love ❤️’, but whatever….I’ll keep out of your way in future amigo….
The 'poor me' mentality is endemic in 2023. Don't be a victim to these energy vampires, they'll suck you dry!
RozzyExpress is an awesome vendor. They seep kindness through their messaging. No one should be asked to prove their kindness.
Charity is given where needed, not when begged for!

Thank you GC! You're dead right, the "poor me" thing is rife now, and honestly it makes sense when we've got access to everything instantly. The mind boggles sometimes! For real though, you're a top man and I'm glad to have met you :)))
If they were a loyal customer who makes regular orders I'd consider sending something out for free, other than that...absolutely not. It's a business not a charity.
You'll help a lot more people by keeping your quality high, and your prices as low as possible.
Everyone is struggling right now and I'm sure many people have personal issues they have to deal with. I'm not downplaying this guys situation, I'm genuinely sorry he's going through that...but it's not your responsibility.
No need to feel guilty buddy. Do a good job on here, fly straight and don't rip people off. That's really the best thing you can do...for everyone's benefit.
All the best.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Yeah, they have made a few orders but I wouldn't say regular, too right on it being a business! My margins are astoundingly low anyway but we'll figure something out... hopefully 🤣
And yeah for sure, quality and low prices count for a lot! It's just so annoying when I've tried so many avenues and can't find much I'd actually be happy to resell. The town I'm in seems to be content enough with fake cali and filthy commercial dawg/haze. I've gone through 15 people and found nothing good. Enough about that though.
I also tried hard not to underestimate or downplay things but I agree, there isn't much I can do here. I am but one woman with a very limited bank balance and tbh a lil bit of a short temper.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for the reply, wishing you all the best too and I hope you have a wonderful evening! :)))

There is also the potential for doing time, which also ups the ante. I assume people want to give a good service, but also make enough to get out before their luck runs out.
Don’t get yourself too wound up about it mate.
A number of people take kindness for weakness, just put your foot down and tell them to do one 👍

Thank you for the reply! I definitely agree, and it might not be the case that it's malicious but after a certain point there aren't many options available :(
I just don’t see the relevance.
Ok your friend passed away (very tragic and sad, R.I.P)
What does that have anything to do with buying/selling cannabis online?
“I get paid on x date, can you please look after me until then?”
Ok that makes more sense.

Yeah for sure, it's nothing to do with me. I've lost multiple friends throughout my life, but we just deal with it and carry on. I haven't even once asked for emotional support when grieving, let alone free stuff off anyone. There are def a few people I'd help out, there's a mutual respect there, but things like this put vendors in really awkward spots
Reminds me of every person that goes into a talent show/business pitch etc with a well rehearsed sob story.
And I’ll leave you with this:

Hahaha that cracked me up a bit, the inbetweeners is a national treasure by now :)
Yeah they have purchased before but it's kinda confusing to me that they'd buy a couple of times and then expect a freebie.. I urge them to go to their local plug and ask the same thing lmaoo (and idk how much they wanted last time, I wasn't really part of it besides doing a lil bit of typing at that point, I'm QUICK on the keyboard haha)
Keep doing what you're doing mate, you're not here to run a charity or a mental health hotline.
This is the first time i've heard of this on here but that is super strange. If their not happy redirect them else where, from your reviews the product speaks for itself.
Cost of living crisis n all but the vendors get it tough enough here with fees as it is.

Thanks for the reply and the kind words :))
You're spot on imho, we're all just people tryna do the best for ourselves and one another and I think some don't take into consideration that vendors are just people or small groups of people exactly like them. I really try and be professional but it's hard. I don't have ANY bad feelings towards the person whatsoever though. And I hope you're well and having a good evening :)

You're far more mature then me, mf tried to manipulate you/gaslight you over their own personal problems.
I'm sure if they were a loyal/avid patreon you'd be more accommodating based on your responses but i'm glad you wasnt.
offtopic, wax looks fire i might order some but throw in an extra 3.5 pls my cat got ran over this morning x

I try 🤣🤣🤣 a year or 2 ago I probably would've went and lost the head a bit. And they have ordered a few times, and obviously it's very much appreciated, but it put me in an odd position.
And sure! 🤣 but I'm gonna need like 2z of cali from someone to calm my nerves first because my aunty jackies sisters brothers boy just got life in prison for nicking a freddo
The wax is pretty damn fire though I've gotta say, it's taken a lot of mental energy to leave it alone 🤣

It may not have been right to ask for help because it up to me n not your responsablity but it is real he is real n my grief is real, three weeks diagnosis to death. Best friend barrington smith aka bagga shines
I am sorry to hear about your friend, and if I went too far I apologise. I just hope you can understand where I'm coming from and how it comes across.
"may not have been right to ask", I'm sure this is a tough time for you and it's good for you to apologize however idk how it would entitle you to free products off someone you've never met before. Reach out to a friend, sorry for being blunt but sending love - this vendor has already gone above and beyond for you.

Thirst (2009, not really extreme but I like it)
Memories of Murder
A tale of 2 sisters (though that freaks me out more than martyrs for some reason and just confused me, I should try watching it again)
I really like the Brazilan film Bacurau
For nihilist stuff like kill list there is also Traders (2015), Barry Keoghan has always unnerved me since.

this is a clip from mr designer, a soviet film about building immortality with wax mannequins.
Does any other "older" bigga here find it hard to be scared by films now? I used to love a good chiller back in the day. Now I'm 67, have access to the whole wonders of cable and the web, but any supposed "horror" I watch leaves me cold. Not trying to sound "old and wise" believe me, but every movie in that category I end up feeling "meh".
At 52 I thought I’d seen it all, not been scared for a long long time but then I saw Martyrs and whilst it didn’t scare me like Halloween did when I was much younger, it’s such a visceral experience that it’s become one of my favourite movies. Just don’t make the mistake of watching the US remake, it’s shit.
Never heard of Martyrs so just looked it up. Jeez that sounds heavy and dark! Will check it out some time. 👍
Nocturnal animals messed my head up more than any horror has done in a while. A lot of horror I like has to be more based on an interesting premise like martyrs, though a lot of horror made is targeted for PG-13 as that can command a box office so the films are more gore based but lack the total brain fuck.
It depends what you want from horror and also you possibly need to empathize with the victims. The American version of the ring I decided I was on the side of Samara so I turned it off. I like the Japanese version as it has a sombre ambience. Jump scares get very tiring very quickly and tune me out, though some only like jump scares as it is more popcorn.
You have to say what types of films you used to enjoy. If you want nasty I would put funny games above martyrs as martyrs actually has a reason. Funny games is just pure sadism. Martyrs I put off for a long while, I really enjoyed it when I watched it as the premise is very bizarre.
The Ritual was pretty enjoyable.

American Werewolf in London watched it when I was 6 and scared the shit out of me for weeks, love it now prob best horror ever.
here's some good ones that you might not have heard of all are amazing and worth a watch, you wouldn't be disappointed.
Apocalypto, would you rather, hostel series, saw series, also depends on what sort of horror you like but apocalypto is the best out of them all.

let me know what you think It's old but one of the best films I've ever seen. It's subtitled if you can get over that but its the movie itself that hooks you not much talking in it.
It's a mel gibson one too.

Not so much a movie, but the last series of Black Mirror saw a slight deviation in its final episode, rebranding as Red Mirror, a full on horror focused strand.
Demon 79, its debut offering is an absolute blast, up there with some of the best Black Mirror episodes.
Well worth checking out.

I exclusively watch horror movies all through October. My standards for horror movies are different than other genre's. Show me something a little bit different and I'll consider it worth the watch.
I try and watch a mixture of new and old stuff throughout the month. So far there has been a clear winner in terms of what I've thought about most after watching.
Talk to me (2022)
I watched about 40 seconds of a 2minute trailer and decided ok I'm in and wouldn't advise knowing any more than that coming in. Now the movie didn't scare me in any way but it did have an incredibly visceral reaction on me to the point of having to look away several times and literally dreading what was coming next. As someone who doesn't think of themselves as squimish in the slightest I can't think the last time a movie did that to me.
Also I found out watching that the guys started out as Youtubers who I actually watched a bunch of their stuff back in the day. Which was really surprising because it does feel like a really confident movie and the chemistry/dialogue between characters is actually way better than a lot of big budget movies.

Hostel or paranormal activity are a couple of my favs.
Although im a bit of a woosy when it comes to watching any horror lol

There's a Turkish horror movie called Baskin which has some of the most messed up scenes I've watched. It's pretty slow to get going but when the fun starts, it goes crazy very quickly.

I've finally gotten around to playing High on Life. I'm enjoying having humanity in the palm of my hands a bit too much 😜
In 2013 Jagex who own Runescape found backups of the game before they screwed it up basically, and it was files from 2007.
A small team took over it as a side project and it’s amazing it’s constantly updated and is Oldschool RuneScape that runs alongside RuneScape 3 which is the updated game that has a lot fewer players.
Ever want nostalgia come play it again there’s thousands of us!

Not usually my type of game, but I’m proper lost in Hogwarts legacy. Great game after a bowl or two :)
I have a friend who plays that shit now, he used to be real good at rocket leaguentoo, but ever since he found distillate he has fallen from a crystal player to a lowly platinum
Don’t be fibbing randomiser, it’s widespread knowledge you have no friends xD and anyways, I heard your always at least two games behind your Rocket League team captain, so down of that horse.
My wife wouldn’t let me get it (she would but wouldn’t get me it for my birthday) because JK Rowling is a c**t and I just got hyped up and never bothered, was it good after a few days of playing?
Dude, you sound like someone who needs to play DayZ. Watch therunningmanz or freshspawns on youtube and you will get a good idea of what the games about. Best game ive ever played. The last of us has an online for it too called factions multiplayer. Straight up war🤣
Ahh, I don’t play DayZ as I’m on console but it’s comfy af kicking back to a bit of the ole runningmanz
I love Doom Eternal so much. Personally I find you have to stay calm and treat it like some weird racing game where you just rip and tear as you have to keep moving around the course like a race track.
Definitely one of my favourite games ever.

Ha, great thread. Cyberpunk 2077, especially when I am high, it feels like I live inside the game lol
After watching the GTA 6 trailer the other day I was craving a rockstar game so I'm replaying the red dead 2 story, such a great game! 10/10
I'm obsessed with outriders at the moment it's really good, just waiting for starfield to launch (no pun intended) next month and I'll be booking some annual leave haha!
Project Zomboid. Relaxing, frustrating, steep learning curve, hit zombies in the face with griddle pans. What more do you need?

MK1 at the moment, though I haven’t played a fighting game since I was a kid!
Always been a pvp gamer.
Always been struggling to find good pvp action outside of shooters.
And fighting games have been here the whole damn time lol.

You've reminded me: Street Fighter 6 has probably updated and downloaded everything so I can play now! But it's 00:32. Sleep is probably wisest...
Not playing it right now but a blast from the past anyone remember "Sinclair 64" with the tape player to load games and the tiny black keyboard? Oh PaperBoy was the game we loved! Been on ebay and seen you can still get them !
I'm currently playing super snail on android 🤣 super addictive. Join my clan (kimchikings). I'm 53 highest ranked in the world 💚
Amazing seeing all the osrs players on here. Brilliant game, been hooked to runescape since 2005.

Dude, come and join me on an apocalyptic journey like no other. Come and enter the one and only world that is. DayZ.
I keep seeing this creep back up on Steam. I played this waaaaaaay back when it was an ARMA 2 mod and it still stands out as one of the most interesting online experiences. Like 99% of it was utter shit, running around an enormous map, janky as fuck zombies, not seeing a single person, randomly breaking your legs and then getting killed by someone you never even saw. But fuccck when it was that 1% it was something really special.
Well…..funny question. Its never been fully fixed it has constantly been getting fixed and updated and patched and what not. Its looking better than it ever has. If you haven’t played for years you would be shocked as to what its become now. I only play on console but I am moving to pc soon so I can get all the maps that the main streamers play on. On console dayz we only have chernarus and livonia to explore.
On pc you have like a near enough unlimited number of some amazing maps now.
For example, deer isle,
takistan, esseker. Theyre just to name a few. Its quit insane. Never known a game like it 🤣

Ohhh man the map! I forgot about the map. I remember I was working at a place that had a huge printer capable of printing on canvas for construction signs etc.
I printed like a 6ft by 6ft (way bigger than I realised) copy of the map onto canvas. It was absolutely beautiful......and no real help whatsoever aha!
What route you going with on the PC front Finbar? Building or buying? Is the whole graphics card shortage over yet? I'd seriously recomend taking a look at the STALKER mod - Anomaly when you do get one. It feels like the single player ancestor to a lot of these style of games IMO.

You haven’t played for a long time it seems. Check out youtube and youll see how much its blown. Watch “the running man z” and “fresh spawns” youll get the jist. Yes sir you have definitely played DayZ! 🤣🫶
Also, the last of us has an online called factions multiplayer. There is nothing like that either. Supply raid is basically a 4v4 each team starts on 20 then it goes down to sudden death potentially. All in all great games if you love the zombie apocalypse scenario. The last of us story mode is the best story I have ever watched. I was guttered when they deviated in some parts from the game compared to the series. It is what it is I suppose haha
If you want a good idea of how you play it so you learn quickly. Watch therunningmanz and fresh spawns. Trust me dude. This isnt just a game. Youll soon realise. Just remember to have fun along your painful journey! 🤣

Can’t pick between tiny might 2 and mighty plus
Any one able to help me pick, iv found cannabis later in life so my tolerance is minuscule. I have a xmax v3 and 3/4 hits sorts me out sometimes less.
I want a mighty or tm2 but feel like with my tolerance being so low I’ll end up wasting loads of bud. Having to load full caps for me not to fully extract them ! Any one got any input for me with these?

Hey buddy- yeah, I’ve got them both and there is a very simple but important distinction between them that I put like this:
The TM2 is a Ripper, the Mighty is a Sipper!
The TM2 is as close to a bong action that you will get with a portable vape. It’s not called a ‘Thermal Extraction Device’ for nothing- you hit it and it hits you back, really it’s as simple as that.
With the Mighty you can put your feet up. You sip casually and can reheat a bowl three even four times. My understanding has always been that the dosing capsules have a 0.1g load but even if it’s bigger you definitely don’t need to pack them. It’s an incredibly economical way to vape. It’s also far more versatile than the TM2 as you can create hash sandwiches, hash with cotton bacon, roulade with extracts- all types of tasty baking creativity without risking your oven.
My current schedule is to kick the evening off with a rip or two on the TM2. Then relax into things sipping the same strain in the Miighty. Personally I don’t use the capsules anymore for just weed, only if I’m getting creative in the baking department 👨🍳
If I could only have one it would definitely be the Mighty. It might be the ugly baby of the two but it’s survived so long because it does a bloody great job 🤩
Let us know what you decide👍

Loads on here with both who will chime in mate.
I got mighty and the little capsules as you can do smaller hits.
Great for me as I like smoking sips as Polly put it 😂
I load up a magazine of capsules and just switch em out through a day 👍
AMAZING Flavours and can start low to get different tastes and effects.
Battery is good for a long day abusing it, taking it on long trips fishing and no drama of it running out

Iv read the caps are 0.25/0.3 which is a lot bigger than I’m accustomed
To do you know if there’s a way to use less ? Iv seen they don’t work well unless fully packed

Work fine half packed at 0.1g mate. Just use little poker at bottom and no drama for me.
Or you can pack one, then get to temp. Have a few sips, turn off and sip as it cools.
Go again later on same keg if not gone crispy / burnt tasting on way out it works good. 👍
Doesn’t beat initial flavour bombs but then just load next one.
I’m sure a pro can confirm but you could prob also pack that stuff I swear they call bacon cotton 😂
Then put less in keg.

Cotton bacon and the Mighty is a great combo that can handle anything you put in it - bud, hash and concentrates. The name is weird but it's basically cotton wool you can use in the dosing caps if you want to put less bud in. I mainly use it for hash/concentrates as it saves so much mess/cleaning if you wrap whatever you're vaping in it. It was Polly who I first saw mention it.
It's high quality cotton fibre cut so it's tearable into US style rashers. Excellent stuff, available from Amazon, and it goes weirdly toasted in the cap when you pull it out.
If only I got the TM2, no longer would I be the receiver of jibes… “aawww is that the new vapemaster3000 aye pal?” 😂 the mighty does look a bit dated with it being so huge in hand
But seriously both devices are great at what they do. TM2 is more fragile with the glass stem, you’d struggle to break the Mighty if you tried as it’s a big solid lump.

Not used a Mighty, but the TM2 is an amazing vape. You dont use caps - the weed is vaped through a cooling unit, which you can adjust to contain as much or as little weed as you want - even a tiny amount. It extracts it all pretty evenly, so there's minimal waste.
It also works really well with the water adaptor and a bong - *massive* clouds from a tiny amount of weed that way.
Easy to clean/maintain and it looks great too.
Got mine towards the end of last year and haven't looked back. I love it

So my fella has the plus I believe but I’m mainly the one using it. You shouldn’t have to pack it I don’t think, but depending on what temperature you use it could be a pretty quick smoke lol
I've got the mighty and im thinking about taking the plunge on the venty.... that thing looks a machine
I have the xmax and the mighty. I did make the mistake of overpacking the mighty for a while when I got it.
My mighty likes to turn off about half way through a load, which is usually enough to help me sleep without too much of a weed hangover (depends on strength of weed), for me it keeps okay for later.
I found with the xmax I would always bang it all so I was actually going through more weed.
I haven't managed to master the sipping thing though as I don't think I have ever sipped anything, which is why I usually avoid spirits :)

Hey Family,
We have had to pause selling of our products hopefully not longer than for 24-48HRS. Once our queries and issues on Transaxe are addressed and resolved by TransaxeSupport, we will comeback in full operation mode! All of our regular purchasers/customers , you can PM us and we will make items available for you to purchase. New buyers will be subject to waiting time until further notice given, we are also thinking to introduce minimum buy requirements for all orders going forward with new users! That would hopefully will give chance to other Vendors who are new and joining LB , chance to prove themselves by serving new users!
We are hoping that by taking these precautions we are not in anyway letting you guys down!
Peace and Respect

Hey Family,
Admins, please clear this bellend of the LB! We would suggest stop enrolling new users until issues are addressed also introduce a registration fee that would make only real LB buyers worth joining. You may need to come up with a concept of £250 new registrations and ability to use lets say £200 to purchase and charge £50 non-refundable reg fee! That would minimise the possibility of spread of these cocroaches from creating new accounts everytime as well as would minimize possibility of fake buyer/reviewer as well. Current LB Buyers with 5+ to keep as registered , need to introduce something financially damaging for these bruck cocroaches to fuck off as they would not to pay out of their pockits to post rubbish !
Also New Vendor concept should be adopted to LB we think, creating maybe DEPOSIT OPTION where Vendor can show their levels of trust by putting their money in LB Deposit Account and hold their Deposit for 6-12Month until proven to be trusted as Vendor ! These are just our opinion on how we can protect the LB community from cocroaches!

Yeah, I agree. Yesterday was really sketchy, and I am not sure all the people who were targeted knew they had been or to what degree as LittleBiggy became thankfully un-operational. Hopefully everyone has made plans if they need to.
For buyers, it does raise the issue of being honey potted by new sellers. For a deposit, you have to take into account what they could earn from collecting people's info and threatening to release it. Possibly use a trickle mechanism, so they cannot accept a lot of orders to start. Though again, this becomes a patience game for a pay-off.
Established sellers definitely have a trust boost from me now :)

Funny Scoring stories
Hey biggas
Who has the best and funniest scoring stories from back in the days when you had to go to dodgy alleyways and backstreets who got sold tar as a half Dods and who got busted.

So in the bad old days of dealing with people IRL I usually had to drive a decent distance to score. 40-50 miles to my best connection. So I’m nearly there, maybe 10 minutes away when I go to change gear & the clutch pedal just drops to the floor…. Fuck!
We manage to limp it into a shopping centre car park. 2 problems at this point. 1 I’m 50 miles from home & 2 I’ve got no breakdown cover. Of course the main priority is still scoring or the whole things been a waste. So I call my guy who reluctantly agrees to bring it to where I’m at & he knows a local garage so he’ll call them as well.
He arrives about 20 mins later with a very poorly wrapped Oz of stinking weed we do the deal & he leaves. 5 minutes later a recovery wagon rolls in & we end up getting recovered all the way home, three of us sat in the truck which now absolutely reeks of the weed my guy hadn’t really wrapped. The driver never said a word but it must have been obvious!
To top it all off the car needed a new clutch & flywheel at nearly 2 grand plus the cost of recovery.
These days I order off LittleBiggy & have full AA membership!

Oh mate believe me I'd have left the car there & walked back with the weed if it came to it! Kinda wish I had, that car was a total piece of shit 😂
Had a bit of a freaky one when I was living in Kings Cross in Sydney, there was word of a cafe there selling weed so I went there and ended up getting some, went back to the flat and rolled up a fat one, was 1/2 way through it and I turned on the tv, there was only the cafe I’d just been to being busted live on the news, couldn’t believe it!
😂😂Bet you were thinking ‘am I REALLY seeing that on the tv or is this REALLY top shit??’ 👍
Hehe too many, all bad, that’s why I love it here!
Once in India I asked around and this bloke took me to a small dark room with no windows and said he’d be right back with the weed. He then goes out and locks the door!. It’s like a hundred degrees and I’m sweating like a pig in what is basically a cell. I convince myself he’s gone for the police to get a bribe for dobbing me in. I wait 20 minutes then start forcibly kicking and pushing at the door but it’s not happening. I am going to have to go crazy ape shit bonkers to smash my way out, and probably not even then. By 30 minutes I’m losing it. I can’t believe I’ve been so fucking stupid!
Nearly 40 minutes later…click…door opens…light….smiley Indian…can’t understand why I’m so stressed…it took him a while to find the ‘man’….says he always locks the door when he goes out!!!
Jesus…I was in a state!
Terrible weed too 😂😂🙀

Yeah but the REALLY stupid thing about it only occurred to me later that night…
Having convinced myself he had gone for the plod I STILL completed the transaction!🙀…if the police where outside they’ve now got me in possession…otherwise they would have had sweet FA!
Come on- how stupid am I??🤔
Caveat- it was a LONG time ago…
Also- I’ve got worse than that- don’t get me started on Ibiza!!

Yep Polly is basically the Mic-Drop king of LittleBiggy. Seriously though I could listen to your life stories all day Polly 👍🏻😁
In Ghana, they sell weed already cleaned and ground, wrapped in a rizla so you just unwrap it, roll it and smoke it.
Many years ago, we were staying in this small coastal village, and bought an oz from this younger guy, only to find it was the twigs etc that had been cleaned from the actual weed for smoking.
His father heard us arguing with him about this, and looked really angry - lots of shouting etc - so we got kind of worried. We were in the middle of nowhere, very little infrastructure and travellers were rare.
It turned out he was furious with his son for giving visitors to their village a bad experience - not us for trying to buy weed there. He insisted we come into his home, were he provided food and drink and made a real fuss of us, while he sent his brother, on foot, 3 miles up the road to get a sample of decent weed for us to try.
It was great weed (luckily), so he then sent his brother back to get us an actual oz, at local prices, all while apologising for his son ripping us off!

I don’t miss those days!
The faff of scoring off a motley crew of lunatics, terrible timekeepers and the awkward ones who would try and get you to hang out for as long as possible…..and only a ‘teenth of the crumbiest soap bar at the end of it!
We’re so lucky we can get reviewed, primo shit delivered to your door in no time!

Many years ago I went for a vacation to Marseille, France. being the hash enthusiast that I am I went looking for sweet ganja around when I realized some real top shelf hash imported from morocco was to be found. I was around and about for three or four days in which I managed to score different kinds of very nice hash pieces from both local and immigrant fellows. though they didn't speak any english and I didn't speak french, the hash pieces were small and expensive and the vacation was long. I've strive for a better connection, maybe one who actually speaks english so I can negotiate a good deal for a sizeable chunk of the finest available. in the fifth day it happened, I found two guys who spoke english and were able to offer a good deal on a whole bar, it was if I remember correctly the equivalent of 250eur for 100g. they seemed trust worthy and I thought it's a decent price for me as a tourist (especially in light of the prices I paid for the small pieces) so I went for it, hoping it'll be the good stuff. I found myself in the metro of Marseille, heading to Marseille's projects jumping over barriers since the guys I was riding with didn't care for paying a ticket much which was fine on the way there while we didn't carry any hash but on the way back to the city center carrying 100g hash bar on me I was a little worried with every barrier we've jumped. finally arriving to city center after jumping the last barrier a second before I breathe a sigh of relief a huge bloke in uniform with an even bigger dog approach us yelling (probably) for jumping the barriers. as I said I don't speak french and this guy seemed pretty pissed so I'm thinking we're fucked. let me tell you, until this day I don't know what the guys I was with shouted back but anyway we've just continued in our way while the dude (which I figured must have been a security guard and not an officer) was just standing there looking at us walking away doing nothing about it and the whole thing was over in matter of seconds. I eventually got back to my room with a bar of very potent, top shelf, soft moroccan hashish which me and my company enjoyed so very much during our vacation. I thank my good luck for the hash, providence and experience every time I reminiscence 😇
Hehe…brilliant! Glad it ended well!
I used to go to clubs with guys who were carrying and at a time when random door searches were common. My instinct was to keep my head down and be meek and polite but these guys were exactly the opposite really fronting up to the doormen in a challenging way. It wasn’t violence but in your face edgy banter. I thought it was a madness but they always claimed it was the soft touches who got rolled, and I guess they were right! 😳👍😉

Because (especially back in the day) you'd need to show you weren't prey, however you managed to do that. They're only rolling the guys they expect no comeback from, and then the drugs are stolen, given to the guy that deals for them in the club, and guy gets ejected with threats of calling the police if he comes back, and if he's unlucky the back door had metal escape exit stairs. Everyone else has them in their socks or pants on the way in anyway, surely? Maharishi make trousers and tops with internal stash pockets. Very handy if you want to look inconspicuously off your tits in trousers embroidered with a huge dragon.
I bet trying to score in the less salubrious areas of Marseille is an unforgettable experience, especially when no-one can communicate clearly due to a language barrier.
That temple ball was epic dude, thanks. Just had a smoke of it about an hour ago and my head is like lead, oh, and I just chuckled to myself for no reason. You have a new regular customer.

800 rizla, 50 grams of baccy and a ton of weed to careful construct something that is basically harsh as fuck after the third drag and leaves your lungs feeling like a pair of shrivelled raisins!

The Joint Rolling Handbook. We all had that, clearly. I successfully managed the reverse roll once where you lick the adhesive so it's on the inside and burn off the excess paper, then realised it wasn't worth all the hassle and just bought thinner skins.
The tulip didn't burn well, and the less said about the windmill the better.

So true…they sit on their arses scrolling through LB…the hardest thing they have to do is answer the door to the postie for their NDD 😖
Three mates and I went to Hitchin on a Saturday night to score. Picked up some weed and smoked a couple of joints. Went into a public toilet for a Jimmy, me and one mate standing at the trough, the other mate in the sit down. Two coppers walk in. Obviously me and mate number one keep schtum, mate in the cubicle none the wiser keeps mouthing off about passing him a J. The cops walk out and we think we've got away with it till we walk outside. Of course they're waiting, search us and find the weed, then it's in the back of the Panda and down the nick. Statement, charged, fingerprints, mugshot, a stint in a cell. Later it was up before the magistrate, a fine and a criminal record. All that was 50 years ago this year!
Aw mate feel your pain right there! 😵
Many moons ago I had a bar in Corfu. We used to get hassled a lot by the plod but this night two are just standing at the bar, drinking (free) beer and eying up the girls. This couple are sitting at the bar and the guy just has to tell me in a loud voice about the Q of hash he has that he smuggled in up his wife’s fanny. Any other moment this would have been hilarious. I am frozen in disbelief that he cannot see the two uniformed officers standing next to him! I do that frozen stare at him whilst trying to just flick my eyes to the left to get him to look and shut the fuck up. But no…I thought any minute now the stash is going to make an appearance. I just had to walk away, and as I do so he obviously thinks I’m being rude and shouts out “I take it you don’t want any then?!”…..Jesus Christ….😵💫🤯….they then leave and the Greek plod continue to drink their (free) beer….😳

It’s always the same back then with the 5.0

His response was, how you got any ????

Ha ha ha ha ha
maybe not funny, but I'm reminded of them reading this thread... both happened 25+ years ago. First time me and a few mates wanted to smoke but were let down by our guy. So we were just hanging about on the road thinking what to do. This car pulls up to use the phone box we were at and the guy looked youngish - but older than us early teenagers - so I just randomnly asked if he had any smoke. He gave me the weirdest look - realised I was defnintely just a kid - and said "yeah I'm on my way to get some hash - wait here". Felt like the universe conspired to help us. 2nd story... was smoking this amazing soft hash which back then was very rare for us - normally we just got bad quality soap bar. Anyway - in a field just behind my house smoking - talking total nonsense about how we would escape from the police - total laughable fantasy nonsense - but then suddenly 2 police appear - 1 at each gate we had "planned" to escape through. It was so bizarre. So I dropped the hash on the gorund while they were still far away. We were all in shock at how we had predicted it. They left after realising it was a waste of their time. Then I tried to look around and find the hash. Problem was it had rained fairly recently and the entire field we were in had those little bobbles of mud that rain can form. It just looked like tiny lumps of hash everywhere!
Going to have to think on this one unfortunately there has been a few.
And just for clarification Weed only lol no other party prescriptions????

Oh I never even considered the old days on micro dots going to see lawnmower man in the Clydebank pictures but I’ll keep that post for the next one 😀
No lets talk about Microdots.... Pleeeeease! 😂 I do have another potentially vehicle related Microdot story.
Fire away with the trippy stories it’s all good Wither it be microdots,mushy tea cooked up in an old bean can down the beach or the wonderful strawberry tabs
Or thinking it was a pleasant way to spend some time by listening to
Timothy Leary : "Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out"
while peaking on one.
"All this baggage too must be checked. You can’t take that on the billion year voyage to God"
What is this baggage you speak of? Oh, that baggage. This is going to be a fun period of time where I have no stable perception of time to go through it all.

Another weird scoring incident from the past sprang to mind.
In my early 20s I was going to a gig in a nearby city, and staying with friends for the night. Had nothing to smoke, and couldn't get anything, but hopefully my friends could.
Getting on the train that afternoon I saw a table, and there was just 1 guy sitting by it! I'd be on the train for an hour or so, he looked alright, so I sat down opposite him. We got chatting about various things (education, jobs, interests, etc), and the time flew by.
After a while the conductor came around, and it was back when you wouldn't get an immediate fine if you didn't have a ticket as there weren't almost universal barriers, and could buy on the train, which was my plan. Conductor asked the guy for his ticket but he didn't have one: he had an ID to show he was an ex railway worker and entitled to free travel. Conductor accepted it. Guy gestures at me and says we're together. Conductor walks off. Guy smiles shrewdly at me, says nothing. We chat a bit more, and before long we're approaching my stop, and he doesn't look like he's getting off. Without a word he reaches into his pocket, pulls out some excellent hash, bites off a decent 3-4 joint chunk, and slides it across the table to me under his hand while making unbroken eye contact. I, obviously move my hand near his, cup what he's left, and palm it. Check it, grin at him, and he just smiles and nods at me. As I get up to leave he grabs my arm and tells me that on that platform is a goods/disabled lift that comes out outside the ticket check and you can go straight out to taxis at the back of the station with no checks. He was right. The most weird part of it is that we never discussed drugs at all, not even when he gave them to me.
We recognise our own, I guess?

Excellent! It does remind me though that a couple of times I’ve had complete strangers palm me drugs and I really don’t look the part. In fact one I was doing an afternoon presentation, business suit the lot, in a London music bar venue. We stayed into the evening as it got busy but still in in suit minus jacket and tie. This guy is leaving and he seems to be pretty popular with an entourage and as he passes he pops something in my shirt pocket and taps me on the chest and is gone never to be seen again. I take it out not for one minute thinking it’s actually a big fat wrap of top quality Charlie!🤩…I mean…why?😳
There was an open drugs house in my local town, everyone knew what they were doing but somehow it was still there selling for years.
Anyway, it was a big Victorian red brick house, and when me and a pal turned up once, one of the sellers was outside saying he couldn't get in...lost his key (understandable, these guys were druggies).
No one else was in the house, and this was before mobile phones.
The only access was through a second floor window. At the time (I was about 16) I weighed about 140lbs, was ripped and did lots of mountain climbing..
So fuck it, up the drainpipe I went.
Easy enough climb due to It being cast iron, then it was just a short step onto the window ledge.
As soon as I get on the ledge, the druggie shouts up to me...
"MATE THERE'S A BIG DOG IN THERE.... DON'T WORRY THOUGH... HE'S SOUND"...
Anyone that's done climbing knows it's easier up than down, unless your absailing, and I had no rope.
So I'm about 50 feet above a pavement, holding on to a window ledge, just about to meet a big dog who has no fucking idea who I am... and spends his time in a house full of druggies.
Maybe the dog could be a bit unhinged?
Balancing on a ledge, wondering if jumping back onto cast iron guttering is a better idea than going through a window and meeting the dog of death.... was a difficult decision.
But I needed an 8th, so yeah I went through the window. 🤣🤣
Thanks fuck he was a Staffy, a breed I grew up with, who was just happy to see a human.
What we used to do for a bit of puff!!
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

once had a holiday in portugal.
found this little head shop in the local town and asked the guy where i could find the stuff i could use with his grinders bongs and pipes.
He pointed out the shop to a bench on the side of the street and said sit there someone would come along.
say about 10 mins later a 70 year old man rocked up on a moped got off and pointed at the shop nodding i nodded back.
With this he undid the belt on his old trousers put his hand round the back rumaged then pulled out a torpedoe of hand rolled morrocan out of his arse.
as he pulled up his trousers he mumbled 20....20....I gave him 20 euros and with that he got on the bike and fucked off!
after washing my hands cutting of the wrap then washing my hands again it actualy turned out to be a pretty good smoke!

One other one springs to mind too, not really about scoring though, we were in Phnom Penh and there was a place there (20 odd years ago) called “The Happy Herb Pizza Company” they did “special” ganga pizzas, we went there for lunch one day and I asked for mine Extra Happy, when it came I peeled back the cheese and there must have been a layer about 5mm thick of weed on it, anyway I ate it all up and we went for a wander looking for some market that was supposed to be worth checking out, we couldn’t find it and ended up jumping on the back of this moped taxi, it was the driver, me and the mrs on this Honda C90, literally as we pulled away this pizza kicked in big time and I was off my tits, he was driving all over the place and we ended up in the middle of nowhere, turns out he didn’t know where the market was either and it took us about an hour to find it, all the time me absolutely wasted holding on for dear life on the back!
We eventually found it and it was crazy busy, not really what I wanted being in that state! We ended up jumping back on the moped and getting a lift back, made for an interesting afternoon though!!!

When I was about 16 me and a couple of mates were hanging out on a chilled out sunny Sunday afternoon in town, skint. Wanting to have a smoke and buy some hash my mate told us of a con that could make us some money. This was to stick aluminium tape on one side and around the edge of ten pence pieces and put them in vending machines, which recognised them as 50 pence pieces. The machines would either give five ten pence pieces back after pressing the reject button, or we'd buy a can of coke at 15p and get 35p in change. The idea was to make enough to buy a teenth for £7.50, which we did, but had loads of coke left over to drink 😂
Another one springs to mind, was in Sri Lanka for the millennium, the first night we landed we went to a local restaurant in Hikkaduwa, I’d had the flu pretty badly and was a little delirious and absolutely knackered from the journey, we’d read in the lonely planet or some other guidebook that some guys sell you weed then phone the police who arrest you then you need to pay them loads to be released.
I’d kind of forgotten this, we got talking to the owner of the restaurant and he was smoking some really nice black, I’d smoked quite a bit with him and was extremely stoned and a bit pissed, anyway, he gave me a lump of this black and as I was smoking another spliff of it he went over and made a phone call, Mrs Zigbull! said to me “He’s phoning the police” kind of jokingly but not sure, of course this totally freaked me out and we hurriedly made our excuses and left, walking back I was so close to chucking the black he’d given me away but as it was so nice I was really reluctant to 🙄!
By the time we got back to the room it was all really kicking in and I was laid in the bed spinning out, got up to go to the bathroom and I started to get a nosebleed, this then got me panicked thinking that he’d spiked it with something or other and I was totally freaking out!
Luckily enough though it was all good and was just me being totally fucked and paranoid, woke up in the morning and all was well and I still had my black to keep me going while I was there!

1980s, bumming round India. Had just spent a few months wandering around the Parvati valley. Hash was everywhere, high quality and cheap. I decided to head south to see a bit more of the country and ended up in Chennai or Madras as was then. En route I sold the couple of ounces of Malana cream I had stashed to a Dutch couple on a train assuming I would be able to score again quite easily.
On arrival in Madras was unable to get my hands on anything despite trying and was feeling a bit desperate after several days without. Gutted I'd sold my stash. Then one morning as I was wandering down Triplicate High Road I heard a familiar "Psssst, you want something". I looked over at a disheveled lungi wearing character who beckoned me to follow. He set off at pace winding through the crowded narrow streets, I followed keenly for what seemed like miles. He finally stopped up a back alley and gestured for me to come closer. He rummaged under his lungi and pulled out a paper bag, turned to me in a conspiratorial fashion and said "you want macaroons" whilst showing me a couple of the coconut based cakes. I was absolutely devastated.

Haha…😜…and I bet those macaroons were very tempting after he trekked in the heat of the day! 🤢
Ah, the time we went to the guy who only sold teenths of not great hash, and we wanted a q, and I'm sitting in this guy's house waiting to take 4 shitty deals off him, and he drops one. His badly cared for dog (they almost always had at least one of these) instant picks it up in its mouth. Guy grabs the dog and starts shaking it upside down vigorously and it eventually spits out the teenth. I pick it up, wipe it off, thank him, and never darken his door again.
I have a lot more scoring stories, but they're mainly a lot darker, and why they stick in my mind.

Well, there was the time I was in college, so about 18, and I went to score from the flats I usually went to. This was a super paranoid guy that you needed to have an introduction to, not some dealer of standard street crap that was everywhere in the mid/late '90s, but fortunately I knew his cousin and had been scoring off him for a while.
So I turn up and this guy's door is open, and there's a lot of raised angry voices. His flat is ground floor and there are steps going up to other flats, and I angle myself towards these just as a guy with a baseball bat bursts out of this guy's door and he brandishes it at me. Another guy runs out of the flat straight after him, sees what he's doing, shouts, "leave him, he's got nothing to do with this!" and they run off. Then a car starts up and speeds away. A minute or so later the dealer's flatmate runs out and shouts after them (making sure they're far enough away, I think). Then, with him (and me) visibly shaken, I scored the only deal I ever had off him that was both spot on weight and the highest quality hash he had. It was there the whole time behind a panel that he had to unscrew...

does evolution hate rich people?
rich people reproduce less, so consistently that the richest countries have the slowest population growth. poor people have children much younger and more frequently, their countries are the most successful at reproduction.
the economic reasons are pretty well explored but that doesnt explain the evolutionary science. it seems to represent a conflict between human society and genetic reproduction.

Those with real wealth have large families.
The struggling middle classes awash with debt and both parents working full time jobs to give them that slightly nicer existence than those on benefits are the ones struggling to reproduce.
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer and the squeezed middle class evaporate.

rich people have fewer children
It's a different evolutionary strategy - fewer children with greater chances. It's a continuation in the general trend that hominids have been on for the past several hundred thousand years - generally Humans have small "litters" that they invest more effort into than other mammals. The same as other great apes. Compare that to a dog or a cat..
Interestingly, in experiments with flies, if you delay their reproductive cycle, they have fewer infants that are longer lived...

Boris Johnson looks like a little girl in that photo. Franklin D Roosevelt was dressed and raised as a girl in his early years.
All the alchemy and trans nonsense is something elites have been practising for years..
It's interesting that you include a photo of BJ in this topic because both he and his father are absolutely in favour of decreasing the population. Stanley Johnson has written tonnes of books about it - fiction and non-fiction. One of his books was even about a 'deadly virus' that decimates the population. It's not presience, it's planning. Both Johnsons are admirers of Indira Gandhi who force-sterilisied millions of indians. Here's an interesting article written by BoJo in the mid-noughties, from his own website:

Not sure, but all I know is that evolution is producing more poor people now and our technology is having diminishing returns from all that we invest in it. The daily wake up rush rush rush to the city, bigger this better that. More money , more power. The cycle of American western society. Drone like lower middle classes buying products continuously to pay the share holders of large corporations their dividends and profits. Then we are fed advertising 24/7 and one sided news channels/papers/social media that fits corporate agendas and profit…… that are owned by these exact people…….it’s a cycle that never ends.
poverty is very consistently decreasing

I'd argue that that was culture rather than evolution. But you could also argue that the two are inextricably linked.
The metrics for wealth are skewed in favour of consumerism. The UK has a lot of wealth generation tied up in housing instead of things like having a 401k. This leads to a large chunk of the population not wanting cheaper houses as it will negatively affect things like their retirement.
So people can afford things like TV's etc. but cannot afford housing and electricity in winter. People are told they are richer compared to the previous generation, but the quality of life can be much lower if they have kids. If you really want to know what it is like for the 'rich people' go to MumsNet where people can afford multiple children going to St Paul's where each of their kids costs 10,000 a term, and they speak about it like pocket change.
All wealth is generated from conversion, we like to use the term creation as that doesn't have the negative connotations that conversion has. In a conversion, there was something, and now there is something else. What was there is likely no longer there forever with the shit rolling down hill to people we are never aware of. Coltan and Sony's 'Playstation war' is a good example of the bollocks we help create.
It may seem I am anti-capilist, I am not, I just view it as lizard brained. It is not an invisible hand of the market, it is an invisible claw of the market. The use of hand is an anthropomorphism. The market has no conscience. It just consumes. Including consuming you and your children.
Personally, I think the spread of knowledge is more important than the continuance of genetics. You need enough people alive to keep forward momentum. We are also more aware of the fuckery people do in our name due to our internet. Historically we could do shit like manifest destiny as people could be convinced they were more deserving.
Unless we solve the issue of the universe will suffer a heat death, there is going to be a last generation some time. There needs to be people to perceive western culture for it to have any value. Western culture is not really dieing, in London at least within 1 generation the kids are usually acclimatized. London is a range of attitudes, the UK is a range of attitudes.
Poor countries have lots of kids as it increases the chances of future wealth. For example, help for free in a family business. Happiness is something that maybe a later generation is allowed.
As I say available better education is the key for all children, even though some people think giving girls worse education will solve the breeding problem. More badly educated people, more meat puppets to extract wealth from. When shit goes sideways make sure you have enough wealth to bolt somewhere. Lizard brain.
Animals are driven mostly by genetic continuance, we can do better.

Rich countries have birth rates so low that their economic time bombs will destroy their wealth….
Poor countries have such an excess of youth that they struggle to even feed them…

More early dubby techno, G-Man(Jez Varley was one half of LFO). Can't find the age easily but it is on the MixMag - Hawtin mix from 95.
Like a lot of Techno it can rely on the mix, well it makes me want to start mixing vinyl again though for my neighbors sanity I won't :).

I like how Mills seems to blend stuff that sounds like it would be suitable in early 20th century sci-fi (bi-planes flying in the streets of New York etc.).
Techno can sound very organic.

when i used to do raves i'd make my playlist like a one long greatest hits tape, using bits from here and there never usually playing near a full track, usually slot was only 1hour, in the rave at least, i would get through many records.
I done three separate cities one night was a lot of fun.
I would use the start of this always.

Thank you
I wanted to publicly thank you. I use weed to deal with anxiety, it really helps me with appetite and sleep. Love the recreational effects but for me at least it is partly medicinal. I have had 5 orders now from these guys and every time the customer service has been exceptional along with the stealth and ND delivery every time.
Have bought a few of their top end hashes and they are all amazing along with 3.5g of the Bluntz which is also good, strong, clean weed, you can really tell the strains in it from the smell and flavour.
I have a LOT of buys from this site and I can tell you THC are up there with the very best of all time.
Anyway don't want to ramble on for ages, the peace of mind knowing I have got amazing hash so will be eating and sleeping well for a good while is pretty much priceless to me. The quality of life difference this makes is huge so a massive thank you to THC for your time, care and effort in everything you have done.

Eating is something I never had a problem with, but sleep I do. Being able to sleep again feels like a luxury. There is the Default Mode Network and when that goes screwy all sorts of not fun stuff happens including depression.
The Default Mode Network is the brains resting state, I find weed (THC and maybe the Terps and CBD? ) helps put it into neutral so the stuff in my head stops spinning around for a while and I can sleep/watch a film etc.
I am definitely no expert on this but I prefer weed over things like Benzo's/Alcohol and Ketamine which also effect GABA receptors. Though alcohol doesn't help me sleep or relax at all. That is the issue with self medicating, you can't really do a double blind test.

Any particular favourites? Series/sitcoms in paticular) Had a Peep Show marathon last week was practically on the floor! Just started What We Do In The Shadows (currently on BBC Iplayer) and having much the same results :)
same old dilemma should i get drunk now or should i get drunk later or am i drunk already hmm better have a little drink and think about it .... Banzia baby - that from hooligans island always cracks me up.
Yea Rick and Ade are top viewing when stoned 😁

Oh yes!! Lucky enough to see live in 1995 and 2003...literally in pain from laughing for hours after!!!
Fave episode?? ....Terror (The Halloween one for me) :)

I should also admit I watch that episode every Xmas day…it’s like my Bond movie!❤️

Same. It's part of my xmas comedy holy trinity....Bottom (Holy), Knowing Me Knowing Yule and The Father Ted Xmas Special :)
Did the pilgrimage to the memorial bench in Hammersmith. I came, I sat, I punched my best mate in the b**locks :) very emotional experience
Now I’m jealous 😪…haven’t been that way for years but used to live in Wandsworth and drove past there every day….oh the memories! 😎
Nice topic - I love comedies
Why did the stoner bring a ladder to the grocery store?
Because they heard they had some high-quality snacks on the top shelf! HAHA!
Trailer Park Boys i guess is a good one is it not?

Curb Your Enthusiasm, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I Think You Should Leave are my favourites to watch stoned. Classic Simpsons and South Park as well.
Have to agree with Bottom, which I have also seen live twice, but I’ve seen them all so many times that I don’t watch it so frequently any more.

Really need to start on I Think You Should Leave..heard great things.
Curb is consistently genius but have never attempted baked :)
Green Wing after a few hits of my new vape is definitely worth a recomend :)

Spaced is very good and also has Mark Heap in it.
Tyres dancing to the traffic lights after going raving is very 90's.

Yup, just found that!….I think a marathon Friday night watch is is order….it was kind of anarchic and OTT as I remember?…perfect stoned viewing!
I Think You Should Leave is crazy, the third series just dropped. Can be hit and miss, like all sketch shows, but I love it. If you like off the wall humour then you can't go wrong, but it's definitely not for everyone.
People Just Do Nothing is also a great watch particularly if, like me, a lot of your mates were wannabe DJs/MCs back in the day. The weed drought episode is particularly great, really took me back.

What we do in the shadows is hilarious. Colin from accounts, but there is only one series.
Three series!! and a movie that kickstarted it all!! (Series 2 and 3 currently on BBC Iplayer)

watching Toast(also Matthew Berry) getting angry with Clem Fandango very funny.
Kayvan Novak (pictured) did Fonejacker, he is very skilled doing voices.
Nathan Barley(written by Chris Korris and
Charlie Brooker) is funny but sometimes a bit too close to home on the shoreditch hipsters.
For something a bit deeper there is Flowers. A black comedy starring Olivia Coleman and
Julian Barratt (Dan Ashcroft in Nathan Barley ) where Olivia Coleman makes Julian's suicidal depression all about her somehow. She can play such a good passive aggressive arsehole.

Post office question
Can I have a parcel send to the post office and collect it if I give my name and the post office address to the vendor? Has anyone done it? I cant have it collected to my house because of my girlfriend not cool with it.
You need to kick that girlfriend out and let Mary Jane move in lol
not sure if you can do that but you could ask your post office… you might be able to rent a Postbox/mailbox…
Or you could send it for next day delivery to an address you know is not occupied and then use the tracking info and your i.d to pick it up from the local depo.. (little risky)

I’m just amazed that nobody has heard of Poste Restante!…used it all the time when backpacking and yup, it’s still going today:

I used to be discreet about it in my younger days, and even went as far as you are going in order to hide from my girlfriend, so I know your pain. She was the type that hated most things I liked. I realised she liked me being unhappy and thus was making me unhappy most of the time and stopped bothering trying to please her. She didn't stick around long afterwards..
People's conceptions about what potheads are generally far flung and shaped by an anecdote of somebody who alledgedly "ruined their life with weed". I'm not convinced such a thing is possible in 99.9% of people so am suspicious about the amount of times i've heard it from people. It is an obvious scapegoat for highly flawed individuals.
Anyway, fast forward 15 years on and my baby momma shakes cannabis off more than me despite that fact that she doesnt touch it but her line is "grow up, it's just a bit of weed". She's a keeper man.
Was funny a few months back one of my friends told me about his Mrs not liking me cause he smokes when he hangs with me.
Cause... he's not an adult...?
People are besotted with ideals, and ideals are unhealthy for a majority of people. It also means that others are likely not to be themselves with you, which is also not healthy and they might... hide things from you?
Anyway, I digress and realise you didnt ask for my life story- I am 100% sure you can just redirect all post in your name at any address and do it online. As anybody who entered a kids competition in the 90s, you used to be able to do to a "PO Box" address from the local post office but not sure such a thing exists anymore.

Cheers mate. If it was legal like in US you wouldn't had to hide in the first place and there wouldn't be so much stigma about it.
It really depends on what they mean by "ruined their life". It could be that the person was blazing from breakfast onwards. Doing any mind-altering substance for recreational purposes from the moment you wake up is not going to be greatest for achievement purposes.
I think it is far worse drinking from 8 in the morning versus smoking weed in the morning. The issue with weed was it was much more acceptable to actually smoke weed as you don't get to the point where you cause the same type of social hassle. But people do smoke it all day and still function fairly highly and have high-paying work.
Sometimes "ruined their life" means their grades dropped, but they grew a social conscience from hanging around the "wrong type of people" which inhibited future earnings. Being an asshole unfortunately pays.
A few people I did know had schizophrenia. But really that is a numbers' game with how many people I knew.

Absolutely valid points, yeah, I agree.
I think blazin non stop from breakfast is indicative of a deeper lying issue though, rather than just weed. It's a clear self medication for something. I do know people who are like this, but I don't think weed per se is the issue, it is their personality.
I more meant people who think it had some kind of drastic permanent effect on people after a few months use. I say to them, no man, you were a dickhead before you tried weed too.
I know a guy with schizophrenia. He can and does smoke no problem when he has his meds.
He gets occasional hallucinations without.

Do any of your mates smoke? I would ask one of them if you can use their address for your LB parcels. Throw in a smoke as a sweetener and you've got no worries.
No they don't unfortunately otherwise I whould ask. I can still ask tbh but I think I know the answer already.
Hey Daglas.
Hope I’m not out of line my friend :)
We’re all a little (not cool) about something. But unless smoking a J here and there turns you into some kinda monster why is it so uncool with her?
Do you drink?
Does your girlfriend drink??
My girlfriend is not over the moon about it tbh.
I don’t drink though..maybe that makes a difference??
If its something you enjoy and doesn’t hurt anyone mate then don’t be so paranoid. Talk her over. She’s your girl she’ll understand 🍀
You don’t wanna start fcking around with your post/parcels and risk them going missing some how.
If not I suggest you follow RealD’s
Advice.
Good luck bro!

to be honest I smoke a few joints only once every 4 months or so. The thing is that I want to show her with the first delivery that you can actually get a bit of smoke with out any dramas and then prob I will ordering to be delivered at home. Is just hard to convince people that is actually safe if they don't have a clue.
Seems to be a thing with girlfriends.
Having drug’s delivered to your door😂
Like you say mate once she’s seen the no drama delivery. Just like any other letter/packet and probably just a few deliveries a year.
Not every week like me (sometimes twice🤣🤣
It’ll be all good.
Saves having to meet a weird little hooded teenager at the bottom of your road.
Or even worse…five of em crammed into a Mercedes all high on silly gas
Pulling up outside your gaff!!
(Now ALL your neighbours know)
🤨
LB is the best way.
Slips Through your letterbox pretty quietly. Or you get a subtle knock on the door.
There you go mate”..
Thank you postie😉
Job done!!

Hey
We've sent to a post office a few times for a customer of ours. Not sure if he had a pre arrangement for this first though.
I know you can redirect to a post office for a fee if you miss your delivery or you could before anyway.
Best to ask your post office first though!

Thanks for letting me know mate. To be honest I've set a redirect already to another post office just in case the current one declines my parcel so we l'll see
quick update. Yes you can receive parcels at your post office just call them beforehand and ask if they accept parcels for Local Collect and if you can use their adress. Not all of them do though. No need to rent P.O. box and pay a fortune, no need to use post restante is for people who travel or are on the go.
You can rent a po box though not sure that is a good way to get your hash,i think i might be bricking it every time i went to pick it up and not sure if vendors would be happy shipping to it.
I agree with RD put your foot down man,better to do it now before you put a ring on it and see where it goes,if she flips out and goes mental then she is not the one and you just saved your future ass .
Or you could wimp out and buy her a present everytime you buy hash and tell her its a secret and give it to her later,though if you get caught she will likely ram those presents where the sun dont shine lol
