I find Graham Hancock’s work fascinating whilst stoned. Fingerprints of the Gods, Magicians of the Gods and Supernatural: Ancient Teachings of Mankind. Are all very interesting talking about a lost civilisation and ties into the ancient Egyptians and Atlantis and other stuff. Worth picking up.

Weed and reading books
Best books to read about getting stoned - number one of course Hunter S Thompson, "Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas". What else could it be. Aldous Huxley "The Doors of Perception" has to be up there. Any jazz autobiography can fit the bill - "Straight Life" by Art Pepper is essential. The 1965 novel "Stoner" is an excellent novel, but sadly has nothing whatsoever to do with drugs! Any more recommendations?
As for books to read while stoned that's another matter. Personally I can't. Have to be straight when reading. That said. I should think "Ulysses" would be quite a trip.

Mr Nice - Howard Marks
Snowblind - Robert Sabbag
Waiting for the Man - Harry Shapiro
Haven't read them for a good number of years but I enjoyed them at the time! Second two are quite old so you may have difficulty in find them (at a reasonable price!)
I read Waiting for the Man in pre-internet days. That thrill of looking around a bookshop (yes, shop not website!) and tucked away in the corner some books with a picture of a (looks over both shoulders with a small grin) cannabis leaf... wow a book about drugs... in public. Oh how times have changed! :)

Thanks CB- like everyone I’ve read Mr.Nice but hadn’t come across your other two recommendations. Just bagged both of them off Amazon for £3.49 each delivered (Used “Very Good”)…the Shapiro has been fully updated….I’m going to enjoy those- cheers mate!😻
Good! From memory, Snowblind similar to Mr Nice regarding funny/detailed accounts of the drug trafficking process and WFTM I only have hazy memory of as it was a while back when I read that and it was before the updated version! I just remember it was fun reading about each recent decades music style and drug of choice. Have fun!
Haha 😂. As I said above I have to be straight while reading. Reading when you're spaced out is the same as watching TV while you're fucked up. You can't remember any of it the next day!
I know this is going to sound weird but I actually enjoy reading when I’m high, although it does depend on the strain. I can pile into some pretty heavy books AND remember what I’ve read. Strange🤷♂️
What, you mean you can still follow the story AFTER the cat has sat on the mat? Wow... 😁 :)
Seriously mate I go for the big stories and I often get quite emotional. When I realised they weren’t going to be able to put old Humpty back together again I sobbed😢
And the fat Controller is a right cunt 😡

Bloody hell, thanks for the Trigger warning! Who do I report you too?
I tell you what has just popped in my head. Remember those old Children's books, Ladybird I think. Three little pigs and the like? Some of those pictures could get quite graphic if I remember. No trigger warning in them days, you just shat yourself, got on with it and suffer from night terrors and cold sweats for the rest of your life. :)

Too right…the gratuitous roasting of Bambi’s mum (don’t put that phrase in a search bar🫣) had a profound effect on me and I never much liked venison after that…😞
👍👍…the only thing that does my head in about ‘Fear & Loathing’ is the sheer quantities involved, I just can’t believe that an elephant could remain standing. In the booze version: ‘Leaving Las Vegas’ at least Nicholas Cage is genuinely trying to kill himself! (Great film imo👌)
For modern day drug-athons it’s hard to beat the grit and outrageous humour of Irvine Welsh. Obviously ‘Trainspotting’ is a classic but I love the total sleaze of ‘Filth’, ‘Ecstasy’ & ‘Porno’ …books that really give a clue in the title😂.. and they leave no doubt that Welsh has seen it all.
Joyce had to have been off his noodle on something when he wrote ‘Ulysses’ …it’s the only explanation 🥴

I'd agree about Fear & Loathing, but having just read Thompson's letters (he was a copious letter writer) from the late 60s to the mid 70s, he really was a major stoner. I think he got bored easily and had this restless, almost manic, energy. Think drugs were his way of scratching that itch. As for Joyce, yes! Only read it once and that was about 30 years ago. Keep telling myself I'll read it again one day but haven't done it yet!
Reading Ulysses once is a major achievement mate, I can’t believe anyone has ever read it twice 😂
David Nutt ( Ex government drugs advisor until he said some things the government didn't like so they kicked him out..... ) has a few books you may find interesting.
Guess how many buds in the jar competition has returned!
All you have to do is guess how many buds are in the jar shown in the pictures.

You must have a minimum of 10 buys from any vendor to enter.
GOOD LUCK!!

Ahhh not many numbers only been said once can I have a second go? lol :P
Surely some lucky bigga will be able to find the number with this info! come get it biggas it's right there waiting! Good fun these competitions :)

fuckin skint this week but my boy jesus owes me a favour so pretty sure I’ve got this one
Actually the secret is to work out the volume of bud A in accordance to the ratio of pi of the circumference of the jar. Then multiply the volume by the mean variance of bud A by the length of the jar divided by where did I put my spliff
What ever it is it looks blooming amazing! My guess is 27 again like last time! Hopefully it's lucky
knowing my excellent luck this great offer will have expired by now lol , the answer is 37

BEST ACTIVITY WHILE STONED
What your favourite activity and place while stoned ?? Mountains, football, dancing , films,running or four poster bed 😵💫
Love running on edibles. If you’ve ever run sober and experienced a ‘runners high’ - kind of like being in flow state 100% in the present moment, it’s a good feeling anyway. It’s actually the endocanniboid system kicking in, so if you get a little buzz on before running it times it by 100 and feels fantastic, like I can move my consciousness into my legs almost. Can feel it working on inflammation too during and after. Works similar with lifting too. Anyone that exercises, if you can do it safely high it’s worth trying, opened up discovering a whole new way of being high for me that I wish I’d discovered earlier! Weed making people lazy is 100% a myth down to how you approach getting high.
Disclaimer: I’m not a scientist and I also smoke alotta weed so the above science might be completely made up.

Lol no I agree I never used to excercise much at all. but Mtb on the trails and tracks about here high is the best ever it definitely make you more focused most of time 😂
Yeah I'm not that big on "organised" exercise but I love to get out on the trails on the MTB. If I'm high then I definitely go quite a bit slower, just taking in the scenery. Some nice trails & woods in my area.
Mtb for sure. Huge forest nearby get high go night riding. Get a high lumen light strap it on away you go🌬 forest trails are so different at night and you bump into the odd longhorn to give you a little fright here and there👍🤛
Night riding is definitely something I need to do more often. It's amazing just how different the whole landscape is in the dark & definitely more hazards. No Longhorns near me tho.. 😁 👍🤛
Not got the minerals for mountain biking, pretty popular where I am though. Bet doing it high is intense as balls
Still good experiments tho ?
If scientists can get paid for finding out frogs explode @ 210 for 30 min in your air fryer I’m sure we can get a go fund you going lol 😂

Totally a myth!! Weed doesn’t make people lazy at all. And weed doesn’t make you want to stay indoors all the time either - that’s a personal choice, as well as based on safety of course. Some people might not agree, but weed doesn’t affect the memory either. What really causes memory loss is stress and trauma.. but totally recoverable too.
Hands down has to be with good friends, talking shit and just having a right laugh and I mean friends friends people you know and trust 100% getting absolutely torn apart (in a good way that only friends like that get away with) if you have that then if I’m honest getting high anywhere is perfect.
I’m lucky to live near the coast so ma dogs 🐕 beach! 20 pit stop take it all in and just realise it’s all first world 🌎 problems (the amount of shit I’ve sorted over the years high Af just giving yourself that time but still high of course)
And also in my top 3 is got to be the inappropriate high! Something stupid like and this never happened but just say a formal gathering like a wedding or important dinner, kids school show and in your head your thinking 🤔 fuck this I know what can make this situation better.
Your sitting next to some random at a wedding ripping in 97% vape while he’s trying to make small talk, your trying to be polite but your missies is giving you that are you fucking for real 😳 look lol
Full disclaimer any events or persons in the above story is fiction and any resemblance of any events are purely quintessential and in no way a true reflection of events that unfolded at all lol 😂

Hahahaha. Snap. School run and the wedding. Made the food taste banging and the music was fire and the fire eater was a surprise the decor was godfather/dictator chic/new money/versace. It was insane. It was all a blur, I still don't know what was real.
I like to get super high on chocolate bars mixed with mushrooms and Moroccan hash end go to the National Forest and take pics of rocks with faces and designs I "see" in the stone.
Combine 3 with cosplay, pop tarts but of Alf/ mork & mindy playing in the back! sorted lol
You know I’m joking bigbum lol
You know I’m joking bigbum lol
Don’t man I’ve been enjoying my Monday and to high for this shit lol just unintentionally had an image of someone dressed as Alf pumping someone dressed as Mindy 🤦♂️ Think 🤔 I’ll leave the vape a bit the now lol
Vape away buddy😎🌬🤣 remember to keep hydrated 🫵🍀 blowing smoke in fly’s faces hoping they will fck off and crash out somewhere 🤣🤣🤣 lol not really 🤔
Spending too much time on here out the sun! Wishing my bank account to magically increase to pay for what's in my cart
If it's a nice day then outside for a wander in the countryside for sure. Or a good bike ride. Otherwise some good Sci-Fi or Music and chill. Four poster bed can be fun too 😝
Vr porn on ma couch wae the doors shut so the weans don't catch me .just wish the wife would though 😕
I've been high for over 15 years now so there's not much I don't enjoy high, I certainly prefer high to sober and anyway some things that stick out as most enjoyable. Wondering around on clear nights, listening to music, kayaking/water sports, playing with dogs/animals.
Snorkeling over a tropical coral reef full of fish and sea life is hands down one of the best things to do stoned.
Now the munros ye canny beat!!
What a reward when you get to the top if it’s a clear day and you have a few ready rolled time to get the jetboil out and get yourself a brew and sit back and enjoy some of the best views in the world..

Psychology services and cannabis
I've been waiting to see a psychologist on the NHS for a year. Finally I get the phone appointment, and they say that because I smoke weed, psychology is not a good fit for me. Any thoughts biggaz?
Ask for a second opinion and give them some information that shows cannabis can sometimes help with anxiety and depression
also I’m in no doubt there are lots of people being seen by psychologists that use cannabis, maybe ask them to prove that no other patients are under psychologist care while also using cannabis, I don’t think they will be able to and then they would be treating you unfairly.
I would make a complaint, if you really want to access the service, I think you would have a strong case to appeal their decision, but my experience is that these services can do more harm than good especially if they are so closed minded or unfair
If possible you could also look in the voluntary sector at charities and online support, you may even be able to find low cost therapy from trainees in their last year, they likely get the most support to help you and also have fresh up to date knowledge
I’ve recently found some free CBT apps that are helpful, if you want to share further I can see if I can think of anything else :)
There are also cannabis clinics in the UK if you can meet their criteria (2 past meds scripts for things like severe pain, anxiety, depression, lots of other things) and can afford a consultation, after that it’s cheaper than LB and you would have a psychologist or similar as your clinician who may even prescribe you cannabis!
That could even be a short term solution that provides support for your route with access via your GP
Best of luck x

Thanks Katy.
I think this may be a situation where getting more involved will do me more harm, and I thank you for your suggestions. I'm going to look around. I already have many battles to juggle and simply don't have the capacity for any more atm.
I think psychology services now try everything possible to signpost you to someone else. There seems to have been a shift to fielding responsibility in most services I have had the (dubious) pleasure of being involved with. I'm not sure of the stats but compared to 20 years ago, cannabis use is now broadly accepted whereas before it wasn't. I know psychology services have also changed in this time, however in the drive for streamlining service provision to save money and jumping to the drums of the "evidence-base". I think they've completely lost sight of the people they're meant to serve, perceiving them as numbers.
Thank you for your ideas. You've helped.
Peace, love and adventure all you Biggaz

Just thought I would add my 2 pence the weed/hash helps me stop tablets that probably do my insides more harm than any smoke has,i am a normal smoker too as in cigs.
I am on the strong tablets too legit, but when I smoke weed/hash i do not need the sleeping pills. My doc is sound too,and doc agrees with me. But if you are paranoid person then I can see it causing more problems more paranoia maybe which I do not suffer from any paranoia. Interesting read this post is.
Good to get insight on these matters from other people.

Look elsewhere. Even if you can convince this particular psychologist to see you, they are not a good fit. There are plenty of more open minded mental health workers and it can sometomes take going through a few before finding a good fit. If you can afford it, it's worth looking for a private therapist because you can go through profiles and see if they sound like a good match before contacting.
I just find it ridiculous how people stigmatised weed so much. Obviously some people use it for medical reasons. I wish you luck with all these supposed "doctors ".
Who told you that? Was it a Clinical Psychologist, Assistant Clinical Psychologist, receptionist? I can’t imagine a Clinical Psychologist saying that.
Alcohol and drug use is often a symptom of underlying issues and many people use them to help them regulate both their emotions and their sympathetic nervous system, or as part as a pattern of behaviours or your rules for living.
A Clinical Psychologist will recognise this, do a full analysis and build a program using a range of techniques to address all of these.
If you have genuinely been turned away by a Clinical Psychologist because you smoke pot, I would be shocked.

I think she was a clinical psychologist. Her name started with "Dr". But I don't know that for sure. I was really disappointed because I was of the same opinion as you about clinical psychologists.
If she is a doctor then she will be a Clinical Psychologist. Shocking advise. Do you have her contact details so that you could email her your concerns and give her the opportunity to explain her reasons for not seeing you.
Hey mate a long time ago I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, recently this year I was also diagnosed with autism and adhd (Before adhd diagnosis they said maybe aspergers, it took a while for proper diagnosis).
I've always been upfront about my use of cannabis and it has never been a problem for me. I was successful in my application to Cancard and have had one for just over a year and a half.
What I do know about getting help with things like this is, it really does take a long bloody time, my autism and adhd diagnosis took a couple of years and now I think the waiting list has gone up even more.
There is a severe lack of funding and I don't think it's getting any better....
Keep on asking, you are doing the right thing in asking for help. As others have said ask for different opinions.
All the best,
AB.

My thought?: fucking outrageous…
Last time I had the temerity to ask a Consultant Specialist a few questions they said in a withering sarcastic way “oh, you’ve read a book have you?”….followed by “you are not going to get any better you know?”
I didn’t bang any pans for the NHS..,.

The nhs has some weird major issue with cannabis despite the first uk studies (project 21) showing 80% of people with anxiety and depression showed improvement using cannabis. You can however pay to see a private cannabis doctor who will prescribe it perfectly legal in the uk 😂 💰.. they are assholes same thing happened to me around 7 years ago turns out I have ptsd that has turned into functional neurological disorder now 🤦♀️ Back on the waiting list for cbt. I would try another doctor personally I think it’s slightly narsassistic to refuse to treat someone based on your own personal beliefs not any sort of real bloody evidence it is 💯 discrimination. I am sorry this has happened to you I hope you find the help you need 🙂
I’m no expert but I can see NICE guidelines saying something like.. if the patient is using any kind of none prescription drug the NHS aren’t going to pay for physiological treatment

I'm in the middle of re-watching Spaced and felt like I had to scroll for hours to find somebody who finally mentioned it! xD
Well I’ll judge you... if I could give 2 upvotes I would, agree with you totally, 2 of my fave ever shows, making me think of hitting Spaced up again...
Thank you - you just reminded me I need to re-watch spaced again!
I was too old for it even back then, but the clever references still tickle me all these years later..

Ah fuck it, nothing better to do, haha
The Wire - best thing ever written. Slow burner due to complication of story, but it is relatable as the war on drugs does not have a start or end to it, and street dealing doesn't just start, therefore you are immediately immersed in the story without even realising. Only figured that out the second time watching it. Also some great visual metaphors throughout. Also note there is no cue music to instigate feelings. All music is from source, i.e. car radio, night club. Only cue music is when Avon enters the lowrisers for the first time
The Ozark - Although breaking bad is good, it's not worth the hype. This is the older cooler brother of breaking bad. Calculated and intense at times. Story is always moving forward with real character progression
Altered Carbon - Absolutely fantastic sci-fi with great visuals and a great story line. Really left me itching to read the book, and I'm not a sci-fi fan
Arrested Development - Intelligent comedy with so much layered jokes you can watch this five times and still find punch lines you never noticed before
People Just Do Nothing - Threw this on not expecting much which is perhaps why I found it to be so good. Off the wall characters made completely believable by the actors playing the parts. Excellent idea, excellent execution.
Peep Show - This is a classic, you need to watch this
Trailer Park Boys - Another classic everyone here should be able to relate to
Big Mouth - Great for a background watch, but really funny and does take you back to your teenage years at times, haha
Fargo - Beautiful cinematography, great story captured very close to the original film. Billy Bob absolutely shines in this role in season one
Life On Mars - Made in early naughties, but just as relevant as today
Dark Tourist - good short run of a different kind of travel show. The kind of travel I like too
The Wolves Of Yellowstone - Nature documentary that has a story line Walt Disney would be proud of. Really makes you realise the balance of nature
Utopia - Such an underrated British TV series
It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia - Great zany show about dysfunctional friends who live in their own world, and drink in their own pub causing all kinds of ridiculous antics
Homeland - Great series that will always have you wondering what, or who is next
The Killing - Only recommend the first seasons. It drags you along on the witch hunt convincing you you know the answer
Punisher - About time they stuck to the gritty comic. Refreshing that this i not aimed at kids and fattening wallets.
The End Of The Fucking World - Two out there teens who decide to adventure together with, maybe, disastrous consequences

Peep show one of my all time favs and can't to wrong with arrested development what a classic
Sad that they never manager to run the show normally... And probably we won't se another season ever :( love arrested development
Currently halfway through the first series of Altered Carbon after reading this thread and seeing your recommendation. I'm a PhilipKDick fan and I'm really enjoying it, cheers 👍
100% but do you think you could watch them the other way round and it’s all still as good? As I really do, integrated them amazingly well.
Yeah I agree, I liked BB a lot but I came to it a bit late and like UKgrower hearing the hype maybe expected too much. Better call Saul I didn’t expect much of at all, didn’t think it’d get past Series 1 but now I think it’s better than BB.
If you enjoyed Breaking Bad, then give Better Call Saul a go. I always thought he stole every scene he was in during Breaking Bad.
Dark on Netflix. German show about time travel set in a village where kids keep going missing every 33 years. Stunning production values, really intricately plotted, three series, all ties together. Loved it. Has an English dub but the German audio with subtitles is best.
Have you ever watched Travellers? (if you was a fan of stargate back in the day this will interest you) or if your a sci fi fan, Very good story telling and actors (Canadian)
