tell your friend to buy bubble hash bags so that he can make bubble hash with the leaves instead of throwing them away! <3

Please enlighten me, I am unfamiliar with this bubble hash you speak of.

when someone grows weed they end up with a bunch of buds(easy to sell) and leaves(semi worthless). the leaves are unsmokable, but still have an asston of THC(the active ingredient in weed) on them. so what most people do is they buy these special bags with gradually smaller openings and they put all their leaves inside the bag and inside a giant vat of water. after a long period of stirring, the thc particles come out of the bag and filter to the last bag on the inside. when you take the bags out, the thc particles harden into big pieces of bubble hash, a very enjoyable smoke. so instead of a bunch of garbage leaves, you have a bunch of bricks of hash.

How would you describe the feeling you get from smoking pot to someone that had never done it? What is it compared to being drunk? Also, if you had never experienced smoking pot and had a fairly good life, would you start smoking after considering the possibility of overuse, legality, and possible damage?
thanks...

Sony MDR-EX71SL/WK Fontopia Headphones

Are they any good? I purchased them about a year ago and never used them. They're still sitting in the package. Should I take the effort to take them out of the package?

nope. take them back. if you have money and want awesome earphones, spend 99 bucks on the Ultimate Ears Super Fi 3. Gl!

smoking weed relaxes muscles and makes my head feel more relaxed and kind of slows things down. when i drink things kind of speed up and i get more excited/friendly. smoking is v fitting for late night when you wanna relax. with regards to addiction, just have other things to do and dont smoke too much. it takes a lot of smoking for addiction to set in. also, i have a medical marijuana card, which most california citizens can easily get, which makes possession of weed legal. enjoy!

and nobody's asked about this? how easy? pls describe -

& i just got a pair of sennheiser hd 280's which despite being a bit bulky have great sound- better then the bose quietcomforts which i like on planes but sound's not as complex-

[PITTM]

medicann has a list of doctors that give medical marijuana prescriptions. mine was given for "chronic back pain" a claim which i made only because it had chronic in it. the total cost of the doctor plus getting a county medical marijuana access card was $130.(probably much less than the legal fees of ever getting caught.

my good friend has hd280s, theyre pretty cool headphones.

In the last year, I have destroyed two pairs of Sony Fontopia earbuds (the first pair ended up getting the insulation going round the back of my head to the right ear stripped off after combining with sweat and dirt to break down the insulation, yuck; the second pair died by the left channel breaking in under 2 weeks).

I also bought a pair of Bose QuietAcoustic 2 headphones, which proved to be the least durable full sized headphones i've ever had; they are still working but i have shattered pretty much all of the plastic shell on the sides in the space of 3 months.

I require a set of headphones OR well-fitted earphones which are:

- durable [this is key, I wear headphones ~8hrs a day, including the times they are hanging round my neck and not being used. Down the gym, out in the city, being able to fall asleep with them on is also important as the Bose ones didn't like that, i reckon.]

- have a mono/stereo switching ability [one of the reasons my Bose ones shattered is because I listen to stuff with one earset and semi-twist the other earset off my ear itself, so I can listen to someone I'm with talk. The downsides of this are a) it breaks headphones quicker and b) if i'm listening to something in stereo i lose half the sound. The ability to switch to mono means I don't lose any of the channel, just some of the experience!]

- have excellent sound quality [music is my fondest passion. Even the Bose headphones weren't the best thing ever]

- If earphones, fit extremely well [the Fontopia earphones fitted nicely but died quickly anyway. other earphones that are hard plastic ALWAYS physically hurt my ear because they are bad fitting]; if headphones, are nicely padded and comfortable.

- Have at least a 1-year warranty so i can test the limits.

Is there anything out there for a rabid-and-seemingly destructive music junkie? My only idea is to commission a pair of moulded earphones with a mono/stereo switch; this is likely to cost a fair whack and not come with a great warranty.

Your advice would be appreciated.
Regards,
Pete Harris

i would say i had the hardest time responding to this post of any. mostly i was baffled at the mono/stereo requirement and i believe you will have to get an adapter for that as i couldnt find a single decent headphone with this feature. anyways, i would recommend the koss ksc 75 again. theyre only 20 bucks, they have a lifetime warranty and they supposedly sound incredible for what they are. i cant attest to their durability as i have never owned them, but the lifetime warranty certainly impresses me. i have to do more research to find an adapter, but ill get back to you. gl!
