Never tried it myself, and what people do in their own home is up to them.
I am, however, sick of seeing the cannisters discarded everywhere, from town centres, to country parks.
From what I have read, it can be rather harmful aswell.
Bring on the ban I say.

Did it once in a nightclub in Birmingham around 2008. Laughed a lot, then felt like absolute shit afterwards.

After watching the SteveO (from Jackass) documentary where he has the intervention, and the amount of this stuff he was huffing made me think it's absolute poison.

If I remember correctly he talked about being in hell when he was on it, and demons, suicide etc etc.

Yeah, it's nasty stuff.

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Not a good drug, see people having seizures and death.

Good, shits more dangerous than weed and the fucking mess is ridiculous.

See them all over, even a few in my country bumpkin village.

Had it once way back for actual medical use, shit made me laugh so much dentist couldn’t operate.

Save if for cars please people

It's not my thing, but I support freedom to put whatever you want in your own body. Banning stuff like this while alcohol is still at large and pretty much the center of our culture doesn't make sense. People can misuse anything and education is key.

I don't support the freedom to put whatever in your body as the rest of us have to pay for your hospital treatment and to clean up the mess caused. You don't have a right to be a pain in the backside of everyone else, we have a right to live our life in peace without wading through empty canisters in our city center. Stop being selfish.

Many things cause people to need treatments "the rest of you pay for." Should we all eat flavourless goop made in a lab clean room by robots while we barricade ourselves in padded rooms to avoid all danger? Do you support substances currently legal, like alcohol and nicotine? Those cost you more than any other substance. My largest medical procedure, funded by tax payers, was a bicycle accident. Should we outlaw bicycles? How about cars? You consume cannabis, which is also a substance that has cost taxpayers. Should weed be legal? You can cherry pick what's convenient for you to remain legal, and that's exactly why some things aren't outlawed even though they're terrible for everyone. Nowhere did I say I support public disturbance and littering, and that also goes under education. How is not wanting to rob people of their freedom being selfish?

Spot on there pal

i suppose what you are saying is theres zero mental or physical side effects from cannabis use that could need treatment

Nothing like a nice cuppa hypocritea

Government or someone needs to add the smell of farts or something to that crap..

I’m sure that would stop a few balloon addicts 🎈🤦‍♂️

Doesn’t stop the piss/vomit/skunk strains becoming popular 🙄I doubt a bit of Dutch oven lovin’ will put them off 😂😂

As an old Pimp once told me * Crow If she an't a fine dime Don't suck the fart out her Bhind* XD

Where does the joke “He was so mean he used to suck the farts out of dead seagulls!” come from? 😂😳😂

sounds like chubby m8 XD or bernard

I don't know what "Dutch Oven Lovin" means....but I really like saying it! 😂

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

It's when you fart under the duvet then stuff your Mrs down there and seal it tightly for air until she comes up choking and spluttering, then probably attacks you. You're welcome, and I saved your Google search history from a stain, like when I didn't know what boof meant...

I somehow knew Ruxxy would have the answer to that one! 😂

Things were alot easier when the choice was coke, speed, e and weed or crack and smack if you really wanted to go for it. Then came the horse tranquilliser and all these weird legal highs and nitrous oxide. Been downhill ever since.

I stick to the weed these days.

Never tried and don’t know much about it but here’s my view, which also applies to our beloved green…
Both the Government drug advisory panel and a recent contingent of health experts advised against the ban saying that criminalising would cause more harm than good.
Remember Covid? Remember we were told by our Government that they will “follow the science”. It seems that doesn’t apply when there are votes to be won!

stuffs weird n not good

same old same old ban it and goes in hands of undesirables dont support or condone it but gov never learns with substances the war on drugs has been lost for so long

....and over to Bill :)

I think it’s becoming more widely accepted and the prescription thing isn’t known by everyone yet so maybe a officer who got out of the wrong side of bed might put you through unnecessary stress but go no further hopefully but as it get more known less likely.
I heard this is basically how it started in Canada more and more “legal” dispensary’s popped up
And they allowed it it eventually

I use the 63mm Space case from ebay. They're £16.99 and worth every penny.

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

I use cheap ones and have a hard time believing expensive ones can be "worth it" but what does that even really mean? If you fancy something special and have the money available then there is no harm in treating yourself to something :)

I used a shitty plastic grinder for years, and it did its job well enough. Then my mate started working for some company that sold paraphernalia and gave me a little 4 piece metal grinder with a kief catching section. That was much, much better and I used it for a good 10 years with no issues. Then I quit smoking for 7 years.

When I started back this year I thought I'd treat myself to a new grinder and saw a huge price reduction on a 4 piece stainless steel Herb Ripper, so bought it on the principle I'll never have to buy another again. Also bought the fine grind plate for it too, and I'm glad I did as that's the perfect grind size. Absolutely loving the thing and it cuts through almost anything as if it was herby butter, but I appreciate that most people will think it's a ridiculous extravagance. It no doubt is, but it's a lovely, lovely thing. An incredibly well machined tool, like a fine chef's knife. I suppose the question of if anything is worth it is entirely subjective, but I don't ever regret buying it.

Yeah, I agree about them being like chef knives. I use a crappy bargain set of knives and they do the job fine. My sister-in-law however, insists that the £140 knife she gets hand-sharpened fundamentally improves the cooking experience. She actually hates using regular knives now.

I'll be ordering one of these at some point Nigara SG2 Kurouchi Tsuchime Santoku 180mm about £242 import from canada (only place outside japan i can find them) depending on how you use it maybe need to sharpen it once or twice a year ... good knives are worth it if thats your thing .

My God, that is a beautiful thing. Bookmarked.

A fellow culinary artist rux ? i'm no pro but i make some mean asian food XD

I can get by. Cooking is like chemistry, so you should get repeatable results. Baking, however, follow the recipe exactly, including tin sizes. If people know the basics they should be able to make meals fairly easily without recipes, and, the top level of that skill, be able to knock up something tasty from what's left in the fridge and the cupboard.

Have you ever ordered from Sous Chef? They have a ridiculous range of Asian ingredients and cookware. Dangerous place to go browsing though.

usually go to the local asian supermarket or the one in the city near me only thing i've ordered online in Shin ramyun, soon and champong ramen packs (i uses the broth packs as a base for my own ramen) shhhh i cheat. XD

I've had a Victorinox chefs knife for about 25 years. Best purchase I ever made. I use it all the tine.

That and a decent sized Le Creuset sauce pan are great buys even if a bit pricey, and will probably outlast me.

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

You can get old Le Creuset re-enamelled too. Something for people to consider instead of throwing them away, or if someone's selling a damaged one cheaply. Have about 5 different sized and shaped ones collected over the years and they've jumped in price ludicrously since they were first bought. Staub seems to be the one all the chefs moved on to, as they still bring out the tiny Staub pots sometimes in fancy restaurants. Don't look at the prices.

I think initially 1 paring knife and 1 chef's knife is a better start than a full range of knives that cost the same as those 2 do, and buy at a point that you personally start to feel a bit uncomfortable about the price. That's everyone's cut off point for almost every purchase made, so you then need to check reviews at that price point. And the most important thing is to hold it before you buy, I feel. There's 1 tiny knife in the kitchen drawer that's so perfectly balanced and razor sharp that I use it all the time, and it's no particular special brand. Just feels like the perfect tool for the job on many occasions.

I had no idea you could re enamel Le Creuset pans, as you can see above mine is in a right state. I left it on the hob about 10 years ago with just a little oil in it, and forgot it was on. Kitchen full of smoke and burned the shit out of the bottom of the pan so now it looks dirty even when it's perfectly clean. I'll 100% be getting that re enamel done when I find the place to do it.

In terms of knives, I really only buy Victorinox which are an affordable brand for what you get. If I had to whittle my drawer down to 4 knives it'd be those above, plus the Victorinox sharpener which works surprisingly well, but does need replacing every year or so in my experience.

I don't use the medium sized knife as much as I should as I chopped the end of my finger off with it about 3 years ago and it still gives me the fear!

That'll teach me for making a stir fry pissed at 2am!😭😭

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

What size is that, 24cm? Looks like you'd get a chicken and loads of veg in that together... I'd live with that discolouration if I was you mate, if you can put up with it and it doesn't affect cooking in any way. It's not cheap to re-enamel them. Apparently they're often accomodating if you contact them to tell them you love their products but have a damaged one, and is there anything they could suggest. Often give discounts, so could be better to do that if you can sweet talk them.

I think knives are very personal things which may sound completely insane until you find one you really connect with, and then you get it.

Best to prep prior to getting pissed too, most likely. 20:20 hindsight and all that. Still have a branding scar on my forearm from a drunken cooking accident 20+ years ago.

Yup it's a 24cm. About 250 shekels to replace thesedays.

I might contact Le Creuset directly and ask if there's anything they can do under the lifetime warranty, but it actually performs perfectly well. Nothing sticks, it holds its heat etc. Just looks like shit!

Yeah thesedays, after the finger incident, and considering she's NHS, the Mrs won't even let me have half a Shandy without me prepping our dinner first.

When I'm pissed I'm basically trusted in the kitchen with the microwave...and a wooden spoon.

She's a goodun ❤️

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Just got back from work and started reading a topic on grinders, as I'm thinking about a new one myself. To then find myself thinking about buying myself a new kitchen knife. How?? Thanks guys this made me laugh when I realised what I was doing!! Doobiee

Le Creuset! ❤️

I swore by my 1-2 quid grinders. Then got a storz and Bickel plastic free with mighty.

Rinsed an oz or 2 through it and noticed micro orange bits had broke off!

Highly recommend if using plastics to get a bright colour that stands out from herb!!!!

Had a few metal 10-15 quid ones but threads and sides got gunked in a week to month

So far Santa Cruz is holding up well, considering she’s probably done over 180g since I got her a couple of months back 😂

I’ve got a Santa cruise grinder and it is absolutely fab! Although a bit steep at £70+

I took the plunge on a 3 piece medium.

Awesome grinder, at first a thought it was getting gunked up like a plastic one.

3 oz later and she’s just as smooth. Seems to power through it and clean itself somehow.🤷‍♂️

The grinder hash. Most works its way off the Herb Ripper too, eventually. I've found that a stainless steel knitting needle is handy for getting the really stubborn bits off, before they're added to a joint. My last tiny grinder was a nightmare that clogged up all the time towards the end and needed the bud to be worked off the blades. I couldn't stand using it for long after the 6 1/2 year break.

That one is on the pricey end, but I have noticed that a lot of weed paraphernalia seems to come with a 'buy cheap, buy twice' policy. Will check out.

I’ve had a Space Case for around a decade and it’s still pretty much as good as new. Cost around £80 but I don’t think I’ll need to buy another.

The way I see it, if you're buying good weed and want a nice rolling experience, a good grinder is worth the investment. Doesn't have to be too expensive, but if you're using a cheap metal/plastic one fragments of the grinder's material will chip off and end up in your bud, which you don't want to be inhaling.

I bought a stoneage grinder off Amazon a while ago for £15, print on the lid is rubbish but it functions beautifully. Supposedly has a ceramic coating in the grinding chamber too!

I stick to the cheap plastic ones. They're fantastic, last a while. When they stop performing, get a new one.

I've purchased slightly more expensive metal ones, but never found them worth it. As good as they are, I found the 2 piece grinders best as I rather just smoke a nice joint than to save kief and never make use of it

i got one cost me abot £20.. worth it i feel

I've had a top end, plastic yellow cheap grinder for about 15 years. Brought few others over the years but always gone back to my yellow old lady

She does need constant scraping around the corners to keep her running smoothly but she is mint

Kannastor grinders are pretty good and can't go wrong with a Wusthof chef knife

Withnail & I

I really need to watch that. I think I saw a bit when they talk about a camberwell carrot?

Entry 18

That is indeed the film. Have you genuinely not seen it? Cult classic. Probably one of the most quotable films of all time. That, then Commando.

No but I definitely will do now

I just read this, and the reflex into my head was, "Shut up Withnail, of course he's the farmer!", then I laughed. You will too when you watch it. Other stoners may well do when they read this, as is the way of these things.

“GEDINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN”!!

You think you look normal, your honour. Cunt gave him two years.

We went on holiday, by mistake.

It was invented in Camberwell. And it looks like a carrot. 🥕

How To Get Ahead In Advertising is also a very decent flick by the same team who did Withnail. Often overlooked - a fun watch.

That's the one where the extra head grows from a boil on his neck? I concur. Richard E. Grant is a fantastic actor.

I could take DOUBLE anything you could.

Easy Rider

—————

Some great choices. And was tough to pick one. So I just went for the movie I think I’ve watched the most whilst stoned. Woodstock is the other.

The Bed Sitting Room. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in a balloon in a post-apocalyptic London. 60s madness.

London Kills Me. Underrated classic.


“All I need is shoes, man”

Speaking of shoes.

Dead Man’s Shoes

Fight Club, Kill List, A Field In England, Limitless, Jacob’s Ladder, Blade Runner, Friday, Boyz In The Hood, Colours, Ferris Beuller, Bill & Ted, Most Kevin Smith flicks, Dusk Till Dawn, Kalifornia, Natural Born Killers, Mad Max 2, Aliens, Armageddon, The Fountain, Pi, Delicatessen, Into The Void, Hellraiser, Paris Texas, The Talented Mr Ripley, Solaris, 2001, Eyes Wide Shut, Mean Streets, THX1138, Original Dune, The Keep, Wild at Heart, After Hours, Duel, Until The End of the World…

Man the list is truly endless.

The Endless, Synchronic.

🤣

Now that is a list. I know I need to see the films I haven't seen based on the films you've mentioned that I have seen 🤌🤌🤌

I'm surprised that nobody once mentioned apocalypse now or apocalyptic. Natural born killers is crazy too, when i was a pup I narrowly avoided arrest by swallowing a wrapped teenth of squidgy black. Unaware of what was to come, I watched natural born killers and was forever ruined.

Paprika, ready player one and ghost in the shell are high on my list too.

Whats your thoughts on the new Dune?

Entry 53

Love the new Dune. Love Denis Villeneuve - Arrival is a complete charm fest. A beautiful film. His Blade Runner. Oh. My. God. Almost betters the original. It’s beautiful. And often overlooked - I think (and this is just a stoner theory) because Ryan Gosling is fucking shit. In everything. So if he’s in it. He instantly makes the film utterly forgettable.

Try it. Name me a film Gosling is great in. Name me a film he’s even been in.

See? Exactly.

“Ooh no Syd. He’s great in Drive”

Fuck that film. It’s shit. I honestly loved the Pusher Trilogy. Nailed it.

Drive left me cold. Probably because of Ryan fucking Gosling. Who’s a plank of wood. It’s not just me? Surely.

Aaaanyway. Lynch’s Dune has far more charm.

Something way more slovenly about the Harkonnens in the Lynch version. Seedy. It’s like he spent his whole time concentrating on them.

Bit less so in the new one. Perhaps more accurate.

I’d have loved to have seen Jodorowsky/Moebius’ Dune. That’s the Dune Lynch made. But totally compromised from the start.

There’s a great doc about it.

I just love Jean Giraud. If you like any science fiction. He invented how what you like looks. From Star Wars to Alien. His hand is in it. To the new Star Wars where you have modern comic veterans doing the costumes talking about Giraud as a big influence.

The Incal is probably one of the best comics ever written. It’s part of a Rosetta Stone of science fiction ideas. That and Metal Hurlant and the whole European comic scene.

It’s a wonderful wormhole that will take at least a week to come out of.

Enki Bilal.

Not even going to start. I’ve nerded fuck out of this thread enough.

I really love this list (huge Ferris fan in particular), and the new Dune is spectacular on a decent cinema or home cinema set-up. Saw Juliette Lewis' band play on a UK tour about 10ish years ago. Glad we went. Friends were so stoned they didn't want to get the train to see the gig.

Trains are far less scary than Juliette Lewis in full flow.

I had (and still have) the biggest crush on her. It’s that PJ Harvey, Patty Smith thing. It’s sexy as fuck.

I know exactly what you mean. Watch 'Blue Eye Samurai' on Netflix...

This is now the second time I’ve heard tell about that in a week. Firstly from Mark Bernardin who was explaining to Kev Smith how great it is.

I’ll give it a gander.

I have 1 episode left as I've wanted to binge it, but I've been savouring it. It's the kind of thing that would make all the misogynistic incels explode due to all of the well written subject matter completely conflicting their world view. Almost every time where you think they're setting you up for a standard trope they throw a great twist. Love it. Hope they commission a lot more.

Apocalypse Now weirdly seemed too obvious. But it’s in my top 5 all time fillums of all time ever. It never gets old, and I must have seen it 50 times at least.

He has a new one coming. An epic. His last hurrah.

I do love Coppola. Godfather. Apart from 3.

Better than Goodfellas. And that’s peerless.
