okay, here's the text of the Hash and Weed Tips, available at The
|
|
Grasshopper, in Amsterdam. I don't personally agree with everything,
|
|
but found the handout intriguing. Oh, and Trent -- you said that
|
|
some people on this net have a scientific orientation, and some
|
|
have an orientation through experience...but some people might just
|
|
have both :-) -- but your post was greatly appreciated because I'm
|
|
a big fan of keeping talk on the net respectful and kind :-)
|

|
Throughout the world and through the centuries, Hash and weed have been
|
|
used by people from different cultures. But like with other stimulants,
|
|
using hash and weed is not without risk. This is why we have compiled a
|
|
few hints for:
|
|
*Sensible use*
|
|
-Hash and weed originate from the cannabis plant (cannabis sativa). The
|
|
effective substance is called Tetra-hydro-cannibol (THC). It's effect
|
|
lasts 2 to 4 hours. Hash and weed affect our consciousness, so that one
|
|
starts feeling comfortable. Some people become talkative, others
|
|
reserved. Some become active, others relaxed, one does not know in
|
|
advance how it will effect one; it may work out differently every time.
|
|
-Use hash for your pleasure, but not to smoke away stress and
|
|
uncertainty. You do not solve problems by lighting a joint.
|
|
*More advice*
|
|
-Your concentration will diminish when using hash and weed. Sometimes
|
|
you even forget, what you said a moment before. So do not use at
|
|
school, at your work or if you still have to study.
|
|
-Your reactions will also diminish under the influence of hash, so do not
|
|
drive!
|
|
-Eating hash or weed, like space cake, should be advised against.
|
|
Especially in the case of inexperienced users it could have a totally
|
|
adverse effect.
|
|
-Hash and weed often do not mix with alcohol.
|
|
-Sometimes you can become quite sick after using hash and weed; if this
|
|
happens, find a quiet spot and eat or drink something sweet. AFter an
|
|
hour the worst will have passed.
|
|
*Who should not...?*
|
|
-Do not use hash or weed if you take medicines. This also applies to
|
|
diabetics and epileptics. And do not smoke when you are pregnant.
|
|
Do not buy hash and weed in the street. find a cosy hash coffee shop,
|
|
and let people inform you about what to buy.
|
|
Avoid problems, do not carry hash or weed with you when you cross
|
|
borders.
