I haven't seen the article so have no idea what it says. But my personal philosophy on hashish and drugs of any kind is Just Say No.
At 15 I was a wild, defiant brat - I'd been smoking weed for a couple years but then a friend told me that hash was waay more potent and totally awesome. Yeah. Awesome enough to end me up in my first rehab after blanking out when cooking...something...and causing a fire worth $115,000 damage to my parent's house. I hadn't learned my lesson of course, and after a couple more rehabs for blow and H, I decided that street drugs were the problem. Hell, you don't know WHAT you're getting. I reasoned, bright child that I was, that prescription drugs would be safer. Yep. Oxy was so safe that I went into coronary arrest (ie, died) and I have no idea how I survived that. So...my last rehab, age 18. Clean ever since. And I'm not trying to preach or tell horror stories, but man, the shit sneaks up on you, it's insidious.
I took a hashish cake in Amsterdam once or ''space cake'' as its known. It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I experienced horrible hallucinations lasting for around 3-4 hours. perhaps the most terrifying hours of my life. Walking around Amsterdam completely stoned during the middle of a snowstorm was surreal and downright scary. I would seriously advise against using any drugs ever. to use the famous 80s quote - just say no!!
PS: I only did it that one time. I've never touched any drug since and never will again!!
I liked it when I used to smoke. Dabbing with hash oil seems to be popular with some folks I know around here. They started after I quit weed though so I have no interest in trying it.
