I like it a bit moist, actually. Smells fresher that way.

atari 2600 08.04.2006 11:16 AM

It does usually smell more the wetter it is, but it's just too difficult to break up that way though. You have to aerate it a bit & increase the surface area to be burned by breaking it up well. Scissors & then breaking it up with your hands is a chore & also it's not good to touch it alot really because it rubs off the crystals.

If you go packing a big lump then you are gonna just get it so hot that most of it will incinerate into vapor & not into smoke as is desired. This is also a good reason to keep your pipe fairly clean & to use a glass pipe. To get the greatest volume of smoke & the best high, one has to light it gingerly & make sure it is cured & broken up properly.

I generally prefer tobacco because i like the smell more and it gives me less of a headache in the morning.Buying cheap cigarettes is not so much of a problem in London seen as you can get a packet of bensons for 2 pounds in most areas if you know where to go.

atari 2600 08.04.2006 11:26 AM

Can you get kind bud very easily in London from Holland or something?

Kind bud is bulky & it reeks.
I was under the impression that usually you guys had to smoke hash or commercial brick weed that's easier to get in to you there. Which is also why I know you guys can get cocaine and heroin.

i'm not really sure what kind bud is, as the only people i've heard use that phrase are american, we probably do have it, but i suspect it is called something different.

porkmarras 08.04.2006 11:31 AM

I wouldn't know.There are many shops that sell cigarettes from countless countries under the counter.

atari 2600 08.04.2006 11:32 AM

Well, in the Netherlands they call it kind bud too, but it is an American slang originated by folks over near Kegmama back in the late '60s & early '70s.

Actually, I just examined mine & it's a bit less red-hairy (good sign usually) & it's fuzzier & more manicured than the pictured bud.

I'd be curious to see what those buds look like broken open. It looks homegrown.

Toilet & Bowels 08.04.2006 11:34 AM

so is it just high quality weed?

atari 2600 08.04.2006 11:37 AM

oh yeah...a totally enhanced effect & a wonder to partake in as often as possible hehe.

I would choose cigarettes over commercial weed, which is not all that pleasureable of a smoking experience really.

porkmarras 08.04.2006 11:39 AM

In fact Toilet,now that i remember,the turkish kebab on your street sells marlboro lights for three quid.

Toilet & Bowels 08.04.2006 11:45 AM

kebab zero? there's an offy that sells polish fags for £3/pack near the tea bar.

porkmarras 08.04.2006 11:47 AM

the one on the corner before the strip joint.

porkmarras 08.04.2006 11:49 AM

I'd imagine there to be a few of them in that area.I've never bought any myself but i can only imagine the market in Daltson to have a lot of people selling black market cigarettes.I'm dead sure of that.

well you can get high quality stuff over here, but you have to know a good dealer, otherwise you'll just get sold crap.
i never really got too into the conniseurial side of weed smoking though, so i'm not the best person to ask about that sort of thing.

Iain 08.04.2006 12:28 PM

No one that I know smokes hash or soap bar (which is what I imagine brick weed is). I think the fact that weed is so popular and more people know what's good and what's shit means there is less demand for soap bar and nonsense like that. Same with stuff like ecstacy...a lot of people I know take pure MDMA rather than a pill.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 08.04.2006 01:55 PM

it depends, if the whole in my throats doesnt close up then about three packs a day.

sonic sphere 08.04.2006 03:57 PM

30 a day or so. cigarettes not packs that is!

Cantankerous 08.04.2006 03:59 PM

how much does a pack of reds run in the UK, since i'm going there and i chain smoke and all?

Toilet & Bowels 08.04.2006 07:09 PM

a pack of 20 cigarettes is about £5.50, darling.
