Here in Ireland my brother got caught after smoking and he got 4 years off the road then two weeks after the 1st time being caught he was caught again and now he is off the road for 9 years..i know he was a fool for getting caught the second time but I have a mate that got caught drink driving and only got 2 and a half years and he could barely stand up..

Fuck, thats the kind of sentence that just makes regular people criminals.

the laws are pathetic it angers me that something that actually helps people is against the law and alcohol that kills and causes nothing but damage to your liver is legal pathetic

My pal got busted twice within 1 week! The second time he got caught was because he was driving the same car which was then flagged as a drugs car after the first time.
I been doing a lil research. Apparently listerin mouthwash works for about 45 min. Also was advised to deny and not take any type of drugs test but to ask for a doctor to perform field sobriety test. Obviously you would get arrested but they can’t ban you.

I've heard about the mouthwash thing, but don't want to be the one to test the theory - also Listerine contains alcohol so you might fail a breathalyzer for no reason. What's more worrying is that I've heard rumours you can fail a test for up to a week after toking which is crazy and incredibly unfair.

Hopefully someone will be able to get hold of the test, and experiment with it to see what the limits are. I can understand why they don't want people driving when they're stoned out of their mind, but I don't think there's a herb on the planet that stones you for 2 - 3 days.

When medical legalization happens they will have to come up with a fairer test. Don't know what they do in America.

How does he keep getting caught?

I would never drive in Ireland wiithout the help of beng stoned it''s like the whole country is 1 winding lane around a blind turn. Intuition is the only thing keeping anyone alive and I find weed optimizes this. The pints just give you balls and that has fucked results.

100% agree with that haha murine eye drops help big time when the eyes are red. I couldn't handle 4 years off the road.

murine are the best eye drops in the game

Thanks! Just ordered on amazon!ill Give it a try.

I wouldn’t drink or drive or smoke and drive better to be on the safe side not worth getting your license suspended or getting into a accident

Me too, in France, 6 month licence ban for à first offense.

Yes me unfortunately I hadn’t smoked that day either 12 month ban and a fine and I’m a lorry driver so had to give up my job I now use some keltic mist spray

Does the celtic mist work checked out that profile on facebook a while back and did a bit of research ...looks 100% fake

Same here ive never even had a license an got banned a couple years back for 12 months. Wouldn't risk it again pal second time we've had it just be careful, I've heard hydroperoxide beats the swab, just obviously have it in a bottle of water and spit it out in the footwell or something haha

Like kyoken said, a lot of the world already speaks English. I've always tried to get the basics down of a host country when I travel and the locals appreciate the effort but a lot of the time the conversation will be in English.

I've been told numerous times by people I've met that they wouldn't expect native English speakers to learn lots of different languages, as most of the people who speak those languages will also speak English.

To be honest, if your native language is English- you don't need to learn any other language. Us, 2 strangers in different parts of the world, communicating in English right now proves that.

I hear what your saying, and I kinda agree in a sense. Many industries for example pilots, English is the set language. But then why the need to know more than two languages for example french and English or German and English? Why the majority of Europeans speak so many. I didn’t Evan try to speak German or Dutch I just assumed they spoke English and they did lol I just felt ignorant to be honest I didn’t feel proud of myself was like the British empire conquering a country and telling them you speak our language now.

A lot of European languages are similar because there are only 2 main branches of European languages, Romance and Germanic. It's relatively easier to learn other languages in the same branch, i. e. Spanish speakers will learn Italian faster than English speakers, since Spanish and Italian are Romance and English is Germanic. That's why a lot of continental Europeans effortlessly pick up other languages, methinks.
I did know an Icelandic girl who spoke 8 languages(Icelandic, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Spanish, German, French, English) though. And when I asked how she learned so many languages her answer was "I learned them at school". :P

But English is a mix of both just about every word you know is a good guess for either French or German

Yep... got another drop from TGT and it was even better than before. Appreciate it.

I think they chop n change it to not arouse suspicion?

for sure, but guess everyone is being extra careful now after the recent bust

Yep I received from TGT too. Was different from previous
Evan better this time round! Was never really worried about stealth before to be honest. Didn’t think they would bother with small amounts. But it’s definitely reassuring knowing sellers have taken steps.

yeah, what'd you pick up?

I gots the banana kush from TGT and some Bruce banner from RB both banging bits of gear! I thought the double zero from.... I can’t remember lol was clean and potent but this banana kush is on another level.

Dood i know, got some as well. I’m in love.

Sorry, but there's a fair amount of misinformation in this topic. Water vapour in the lungs is not particularly dangerous... otherwise we couldn't all take hot showers, baths... saunas etc. That's not the problem (and inhaling smoke into the lungs is undeniably more hazardous). The deaths related to vaping have been linked to a form of Vitamin E added to the vape mixture. This is not standard practise for nicotine liquids, or cannabis liquids. It's only appeared on the black market, for unscrupulous sellers bulking out THC vapes.

The problem with this is that this chemical behaves like an oil, therefore congesting the lungs and leading to lipid pneumonia. But let's not pretend this is a widespread problem with vaping - given the millions of vapers out there, the current cases constitute an absolutely tiny proportion. People are NOT dying fast from vaping. Cases of respiratory disease are falling, thanks to fewer people smoking.

There is no significant damage done from pure THC, nicotine or water vapours being inhaled into/exhaled from your lungs. Far less than noxious smoke containing tar and tens of thousands of other compounds. The current drama has just been stirred up to give Trump something to campaign on. Vaping is a huge boon to public health, as the majority of independent medical experts would attest to.

It's just a reminder that people shouldn't vape (smoke or eat!) anything if they're not completely sure what's in it. You're only going to run into trouble if you end up vaping something unvapeable. I vape e cigs and cannabis buds, hash and concentrates. But I don't buy those pre-filled THC carts, I buy empty CCells and fill them with pure distillate I've sourced myself. I'd try them from licensed dispensaries in legal states, but I'd never risk buying one from the kid on the corner...

I’d recommend waiting around till NDWUK has some of their bubba kush in, real nice indica, heavy couch lock and get some shatter too, a nice hybrid should do you nicely and just smoke them both in a j.

Get some shatter to , put some in with a j and I think that would be sufficient does trick for me . Cheap as well

who cares? most of the weed in coffe shops is over priced sprayed shit. we get better in the uk! :)

Agree mate most shops gone to shit nowadays grow better weed my self

They have tried that before and epically failed.

The city will be nothing without the tourists. This is crazy..I hope the plug remains open because that's the cali spot haha <3

Thanks to LB and the great quality of greenery for sale on here Amsterdam is now just another metropolitan city that I might revisit. However were they to rescind tourists ability to smoke the herb they will merely be “cutting off their nose to spite their face”!

As a grandad I grew up in in the 80s and 90s when the main staple of any toker was hash. If we were lucky once in a while we could score some what was known as “bush weed” similar to Thai. O and if we were REALLY lucky we could get some skunk but that was rare as hens teeth.

Oh how times have changed!

Stay safe Biggaz!

you'd think the legalised sex slavery would be of greater concern than coffee and weed but to each their own.

Would be a sad day but like you said they have threatened it enough times before.
They would 100% feel it with a reduction in Weed tourist's.

I'm roughly twice a year on average.
Still you can grow just as good green if you try hard

I feel the same I always wanted to visit purely for the smoke but now it seems pretty pointless when we have LB :)

You would think they would ban the prostitution first but “hey ho”. Pun intended.

I live in holland and there not a chance they will ban tourists from coffeeshops every so often they come up with this but it will never pass through government they make to much in taxes and most dutch dont even use coffeeshops they to expensive

It's not the nicest of places, most dealers are out to rip people off, Holland however is an amazing country, getting flower hash and shrooms in Rotterdam and ending up fishing on a carp lake in france with no recollection of how i got there was one of the best trips :)

Lol. That must of been fun

I drove to Dam once for 2 nights, done aload of shrooms the 1st night and couldn't leave my hotel. Drove home the next day with a block of hash the size of my fist

Ha Ha good to know you got away with a souvenir. I remember the girl in the shop saying what ever you do, don't eat the whole bag, so ofcourse i did which is why i didn't catch any fish, i was with a group of mates and to this day none of us can remember how we got to france and managed to borrow some fishing gear, been to Holland many times since, i love the people and the vibe but not the straight roads, no good for biking..

Well that would be a damn shame if it ever came to fruition...

The nostalgia I get from visting Amsterdam is half the magic!

In recent years the quality has fallen to keep up with demand, now its the complete opposite.

-SMONKEY

First time I went to the Dam I loved it and had a great time. Every time since then, whenever I go, I just think I should take the money I spent on a flight and somewhere to stay and spend it in the UK on a couple of Os. Then I could sit in the comfort of my own home, without the associated knobs that seem to be a permanent fixture in the Dam and enjoy myself.

Maybe I'm just old.

Everyone should do the Dam at least once though.

I ignore The Guardian. If a piece of news doesn't fit in with their rhetoric, they ignore it or use scare tactics. They've been completely wrong about everything that's happened over the last five years. It won't happen.

Yeah. Sadly it's quite likely this time around. When I was there in February last year, speaking with staff in a few coffeeshops, this was a huge concern. Now that covid has paved the way for a new world....I think it might happen. I will still go to amsterdam for my regular visits, though. The city is incredible ♡

A black person with a novel accent is going to get lots of smiles in the US minimum, you are going to have a great time believe me mate ;0

Yes. This.

It's not as bad as it looks on tv! Black people are a hugely important part of American culture and the object of love and admiration across a lot of different sub cultures. The immigration and law enforcement officers you are talking about are very likely to be African American themselves.

Yes there are some places where the inner city conflicts with the suburbs and its surely a racial situation but that's an isolated phenomenon and is unlikely to come up on your trip.

Enjoy the states and if you are going to make it to Chicago hit me up :)

I’m a white American leftist, and I’ve got my eye on social policy all over the place. Obviously America is reckoning with its generations-old, overt racist culture right now, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go see a gorgeous country. Wherever you go, the police will likely be 100% dogshit because that’s what police are. Absolute bottom line, I hope this post is old as fuck because PLEASE don’t travel, PLEASE don’t push these guidelines for COVID

The OP is comfortably pre-COVID.

I felt exactly the same as a mixed race guy with a few Arab country trips under my belt. It's a different situation, but immigration particularly worried me.
Then I went to Vegas and did a bit of a Harley Davison road trip. I found nothing but warm generosity from everyone I met along the way. As those above, people of all races went out of their way to be more kind and helpful than I've ever experienced at home.

It's not to that degree at all. Some may go out of their way to accommodate you out of shame.

When people talk about America, they speak as if it’s all one place but it’s actually different states all over so if you can imagine Texas can be Scotland and California is England. So what we see on the news doesn’t happen in every state as some states have a lot of mixed communities in comparison to others. So I guess you would be fine in general just be careful where you go.♥️

You should be fine, just avoid Washington and Oregon if possible. They aren't the most welcoming.

You're not likely to get any hassles from immigration. As for the police, you should be OK. The precaution you'll have to take with them will be to a) avoid as discreetly as possible and, b) if they do engage you, cooperate at all times and never be argumentative in any way. If you have a legit problem with an American officer, take it up through legal channels AFTER the incident. Never during. That is a sure way to escalate.

Follow the rules above, and you'll be fine. Road trips highly recommended!

Our media does not represent reality. Everyone is welcome over here!

You are more than welcome here, please come and enjoy your stay, foreign tourists are welcomed, we need the money!

Have an awesome time, in the south you will be the majority race in most situations (at least the fun ones).

Just remember when someone asks "how is your day going?" it means you should be reaching for a tip. ;)

I don't expect many to understand, and it's not something you can relate to unless you've walked a similar path,but... during my traveling work days, I experienced more than once the need to carry a firearm.
permitted to carry concealed, allowed me the chance to go back home and see my family again.
you are entitled free speech and your freedom of views, just remember, the crime or bad folks don't follow ANY rules and could care less about your politics. take away the good man's right to protect himself, and become their next target, as security is just a word.
(understand that police have NO obigation to protect you or your family, they strictly uphold the law...)

very honest explanation, i disagree with extra respect.

damn straight.

I'll go with the penis fixation. I don't own a gun - don't want one - guns are for killing. It's the second amendment in the American Bible, er, "Bill of Rights". Funny thing is that the pro-life people are usually pro-gun. Just doesn't make sense.

Guns do not kill... the person using it KILLS... I use them to kill clay pigeons. and just imagine it's someone i hate. lol ;)

I wish the Bill of Rights was viewed as a bible around here.

I simply don't understand how a bunch of dead white men "grant" me my rights.

Would it help if they were live black women?

Tremendously.

I am not black but I am a 6'5' 300+ pound white mail. when I get out of my car I have yet seen my public servent have his on his gun when he see's me. I have never been shot , but I have been scared you never know when They might get scared and shoot. I am always as helpful and curtice I can makke cause I want to live and pissing of armed cops is not a healthy way to live. When they start treating you like shit , remember it will you a lot more then it will him.

Not saying you're fat but it's interesting that fat white dudes are credible rappers and also eyed by the police like black dudes.

I'd prefer a struggling algorithm :)

Because freedom is only delivered through the end of a gun (unfortunately)

And if you don’t have a gun someone with a gun will take your freedom away

The only part of history you can guarantee is true freedom comes at the end of a sword/gun

It was a rural place and hunting was very common. If you start from that perspective and then think of the government coming in and taking the guns away you start to understand.

They won't let control guns but they want to stop abortions Ain't we dumb

It might be useful to differentiate the American people and American foreign policy. It seems you have conflated the two, whereas looking at the American people and domestic policy might yield better results. Guns are completely illegal in China and as we all know, China is one of the most liberated places to live on the planet! The second amendment in the US was created to provide a constitutional check on congressional power was as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense and resistance to oppression. My family live in the USA and right now, gun ownership is anything from a penis fixation, it's security and peace of mind. I would rather get shot than stabbed any day of the week. Knife crime is equally as concerning in my book.

Yes... China is that liberated.... they even give away their viruses for free.

I'm hoping that you picked up the sarcasm in my 'China is liberated' comment. Reading it back, it doesn't come across too clearly.

hear ya my friend. thought i was doing the same ;) with your comment. i read it both ways (with/without sarcasm) I wouldn't criticise either. just own my private thoughts lol. stay as safe as this "Pandemic" will let you. Gaz

ok what day is good for you

Fridays are cool with me :)

sorry Fridays I'm in love would you accept a heart atttack on say Wednesday or Thursday

Hernia Mondays?

I think this sums it all up

penis fixation/fear of loosing penis/fear of death

1. The Wild West is recent history in a young nation and was really really wild. Ditto the Civil War.
2. Hollywood is real. The good guy always shoots the bad guy. (With armed private citizens this is hardly ever the outcome, but who cares about reality?)
3. A lot of yanks are cunts?

Because it's the only right the government won't take away and that's cause they don't want to get shot.

Urine tests can detect THC for ages (dependent on various fsctors) The roadside tests are really designed to detect current intoxication but it really isn't ok to drive whilst impaired. Please don't do that :(

I've often wondered this myself. I obviously wouldn't drive stoned any more than I would if I'd had a drink, but when is it safe to do so? I usually get high in the evening, then assume I'm ok to drive in the morning. As far as I'm aware, weed is detectable in a drug test for weeks. But surely more people would be busted if that was the case? Maybe roadside tests are able to tell if it was taken recently or not. No idea. Hope someone can shed some light on this who knows more about it

the uk roadside test cant detect weed in your system that was smoked, vaped of ingested 7 days or longer prior to the test being conducted. a positive reading can also be found from passive consumption.

what this means is that anyone who has smoked a joint a week or maybe even longer ago would lose their license if tested.

trace levels result in a conviction.

Read that as Salvia at first and was about to wish you good luck.
However, there are sweets/mints or even oral detox sprays you can buy to destroy any traces of THC in your saliva. I don’t know how accurate they are or if they even work, but I’ve seen them around. Never tried one myself but worth a shot? It might not remove the THC from your saliva but more confuses the test to always come out negative. https://hullhydroponics.co.uk/products/kleaner-mouth-spray-saliva-detox-test

Driving on salvia. Jesus, that would be an experience

Thanks man! Definitely worth a shot. I'm assuming I can buy these online?

I’ve seen them on amazon, again I can’t vouch for if they actually work as I’ve never tried one myself, could be worth a shot

I wouldn't trust any online cleanser. Those saliva tests are VERY inaccurate. It's a a scandle they're actually used to decide anything of import.
So,deny,deny,deny and hopefully you might pass a rescheduled test.
Much luck with it.

Yep. Based on their efficiency I think these quick tests can always be disputed later. Of course, with help from a good lawyer

they take blood at the pig sty, im told...

if its alchohol based, then surely you would fail the drink drive test??

Don’t smoke and drive. You’ll kill someone.

By simply not taking drugs anyone found trying to con the test needs life in jail

Have some radishes handy, they contain peroxidase, to pass a saliva test

Yea drink a weak beer or a lager shandy and keep a pack of lager on the back seat minus a few cans so when they pull you they go for the breath test instead,wash your hands and face and brush your teeth and give your clothes a spray of some cologne or deoderant the smellier the better before heading home,most people that get saliva tested are stinking of weed they forget that they cant smell it but everybody else can.
If they pull out the saliva test its because one of them has already rumbled you for stinking of weed which they will let you know about.
Smoke hash instead its easier to swallow if transporting in your car and does not stink you up as bad,dont drive like an idiot,never look at them twice,keep your car clean of tell tale signs are a few other things you can do.

Hi, there is. I am not coming from a moralistic angle but you could stop driving whilst stoned at least? Save lives?

I think you can refuse to be tested by police but then receive an automatic driving ban which might be better than having drug driving to your rep? Also, you could go down the medical cannabis route and then they can test you all they like or failing those options, do you know anyone close to El Chapo?

the issue with the test is you will fail if you have smoked a joint 7 days prior to the test. nobody is disputing that driving whilst stoned is not a good thing (although if you take the time to watch the 5th gear video, you will see the results arent as simple as being stoned = a bad driver...), but what i am saying is the test is sooooo sensitive you would be banned from driving today if you smoked a joint a week ago.

imagine if the drink drive test was getting peeps banned for having a drink a aweek ago! it would be a national issue and all the drinkers, pub and breweries etc would be up in arms about it! nobody who owned a car could ever drink alcohol!!

the high sensitivity of the test needs to be reviewd and revised down.

I see your point if its anything over say 8 hours (in case of edibles).

an intersting post -

http://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?/topic/417421-scientists-put-the-stopwatch-on-cannabis-intoxication/

a link to the 5th gear video -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZyDoMqReLQ

i have read that the saliva test is so sensitive it can detect traces of the green you smoked, vaped or ingested 7 days previously. there was some push back about how sensitive the test is, but i dont think they changed the test.

i think it was 5th gear who tested the reaction time and awareness of a stoned driver and the test results showed that they responded quicker than the straight driver. prob on pootube...

ive also read that in canada (i think it was) that post legalisation the number of fatal rta's increased. i think the problem with the study was that they failed to acknowledge the increase in fatla rta's was largely down to an increaed number of cars on the road.

if you drive 7 days after a smoke and you are tested, you will fail and you will be banned. so, do raddishes actually work???

There's some stuff called "keltic mist"
Made by an Irish fella.... Comes in a spray bottle... Keep it on you and when the five o pull you over spray some in ya mouth and the drug test will pass.....
Google search it.... KELTIC MIST...
I've got some and it definitely works!

have you tied this using a test not supplied by the same firm?

Yes mate
Got stopped and tested myself
It works 100%

I’ve got Keltic mist, tested myself and it doesn’t work I still have 4 unopened bottles waste of money

hi mate. 420starseed suggest it does work. how did you come to your conclusions?

id love to try this product with a test that hasnt come from the products manufaturer...

I bought 6 bottles that came with 2 tests tried 1 test without mist then tried 2nd test with spray as instructed and both came up positive but I would like to get the same tests the police use and try it again

I would have thought due to the current situation with covid 19 people would be a little wiser and have a bit more patience. RM is painfully slow on all fronts right now, with everything.
People are ordering in mass online because they can't go out and are bored shitless, Myself included, did I need a fucking candyfloss machine.. did I fuck but I'm bored and thought fuck it lol it's still not here 10 days later lol

Everybody's areas are different, more built up cities will have greater amounts of mail than old Geoff in the country, I spoke with my mail man and he says it's worse than Christmas at the moment and they can't fit everything into the van!
Things are more likely to get lost amongst the sea of parcels and letters than ever before, and I think anyone ordering now should factor in long delays or that it may not arrive, and not blame trusted vendors that have been here for a while and always had good reviews.
Just my penny's worth.
Panda.

Well said. Anyone with more than two brain cells on active duty should be able to gather in the information relevant and have an understanding of the situation we are in. At this moment in time assume you are on the wrong end of a 3 week wait and plan accordingly. If i order a packet of pens i would assume a 3 week wait at the moment, and anything less is a bonus. Its a comfortable way to move forward when you have a grasp on reality.

Good point scooby, our parcels come through like any other parcel you would order from a small business online.
We have even had a parcel delivered to a neighbour, they opened the first layer and realized it wasn't for them, handed it back to our customer with no clue.

Have faith guys, we do our job well you have nothing to worry about.

RM are a ballache ATM, but they are doing a great job beit delayed.

My order came today after 4 days of waiting very happy with product and I will use again

I also want to add the stealth shipping is on point

Any update on the candyfloss machine? Seems like an excellent purchase for the lockdown lol!
