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.

      Application for Londis Off-Licence next to Charter East Entrance

      By paulu197 · Posted

      Don't see an issue at all. Siunds like the protest is being made by friends and families of the two off licences, Morleys, pret and maxim chicken who are within 100 m of the school. Much ado about nothing. Besides if it doesn't proceed, the kids will walk a but further!!

      Taxes

      By Sue · Posted

      Whilst I agree to some extent,  are they going to have some kind of checkpoint?  I can't see how this could work in practice. Surely Southwark residents go to these places quite frequently as well, particularly Tate Modern?  Will we have to take proof of residency every time we go out? What happens when family are with us who don't live in Southwark? Will other London boroughs start doing the same thing? Will Southwark residents be charged a tourist tax to visit "tourist attractions" in other areas, eg the V&A and the British Museum?

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?
