Well this is the catch. Not sure there is a definition as such. In my experience though, most heroin users have been introduced to the concept of escapism through drugs via cannabis. However, this is now very much changed as it is rare to find an opiate addict that was not or still is a crack user also.


Crack is now definitely the pre cursor to an opiate addiction, but I still beleive that cannabis has been in the past. Of course, not for everybody but the link is there and is strong.


I am seeing skunk causing it's own problems now, with levels of inertia and paranoia caused by quite shocking and akin to a pretty strong class A habit.


It is really sad watching people rot there lives away like this! :(

As I said before there is far to much THC in skunk. I don't like it and don't smoke it. I smoke natural herbs. Not some bastardized modified crop. With crack users they need to come down and the perfect thing for that is smack and I guess if not then super strong skunk. Both heroin and crack are shit drugs. Loser drugs. Both highly addictive and will seriously fuck you up. Just say no kids.

Sorry Jah, but having worked with heroin users for the last 15 years I can safely say that cannabis is very, very often a gateway drug and still is.



I know lots of people who have, and still do smoke cannabis,


I don't know any smack heads, which makes one wonder what percentage cross over to heroin.

That is just ignorance on his part,

does he not know the correct procedure,

first it's fags and booze,

then a bit of puff or cannabis,

and then coke

and finally smack or crack,

its simple enough,

tsk tsk some people make heavy weather of the simplest tasks.


These heroine addicts would sell your furniture, or mug their own mother to get their fix. Totally untrustworthy.

A friend of mine had two bad experiences, first time in Swindon with a water pipe 24 years ago (not a bong they hasten to add), A Fripp and Eno record cover came to life and then they had to walk up and down the Old town unitl the effects wore off.


Then in Manali in Himcachel Predesh in India (I haven't checked the spelling) with a chillum. This time they knew what the effect was and that it would wear off. The other 1000 times nothing like this. It is really hard writing in the third person.

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
