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.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Sue · Posted

      As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!

      That is almost too ridiculous to answer but I'll take the bait. You are comparing a national charity with one branch of a small charity. Cats Protection has around 34 dedicated rehoming centres. CHAT has two, Lewisham & Canning Town and a sanctuary in Sussex. So if Cats Protection have homed 34,000 cats, thats an average of 1000 per branch. From memory this years total so far for Lewisham CHAT was over 980. I saw a few homed this weekend so we may well reach 1000 for this year. The same as Cats Protection. No need for head scratching.
