Did anyone watch the TV series "Airport" a documentary centred on Heathrow Terminal 3? Well, they have released a new series at LAX, and as i was watching it last night, they were following DEA agents as they arrest people on suspicion of carrying illegal substances. Anyways, this german shepard is doing its rounds, smells something on a bag, gives the trainer the signal and the dude gets pulled. NOW GET THIS:
he has a bag with 150 tablets in it, on one side is a line, on the other a (this is what the american said) "smiley face without the eyes" So the cops then spend 10 mins looking through a book of "known" drug tablets, find the crescent moon shape, and do the bloke for trafficing extacy. Now im sorry, we have all heard on how dangerous it could be taking a pill thinking it is a certain drug just based on a silly logo, so how the hell can the DEA base putting someone away for it!
(mini rant over)

I never saw this show but sounds good.
I dont think the dea should be able to do it but they do it and if it was ecstacy then they have the right to do it
How long did it say he got put away for?
Dope Stories wasnt as good, but just as enjoyable!
Its a brilliant book and it gives u a good view of the life he led,i said fair play to him for stickin to selling cannabis,he was criticised for not going into the cocaine trade, he had the sense to see that there was enough money through selling cannabis but through cocaine is was rather dangerous and a more serious sentence.
Im half way through dope stories,its not as good but still good, i think i'll read Mr Nice again after dope stories,its been a few months since ive read it.
I met him in Hyde Park a while back... quite a funny bloke.
Was he stoned?lol
Ive read the book 4 times, i also met him in Gatwick airport, and got him to sign my copy, which i had just bought (talk about coincidence)
he didnt seem it!!!!! was shocked! -he was puffing on a spliff tho!
Yes i wondered alot actually about the truth in it because the detail he went into is imense, could he not be arrested for supposedly giving information about all his deals?
Deals that he hadn't served time before.
The DEA are fairly sketchy though, but then its not like our own police service are exactly that nice. Now the asset taking law is in place we have no right to trial by jury anymore, that and the inocent till proven guilty is gone too, oh well.
Incorrect, he had set up alot of legit businesses as well as smuggling,he has a massage parlour in Thailand,amongst many others,he set up a school in Pakistan. He had ALOT of money and he never smuggled anything other than Cannabis,fair play to him there.
Dont get me wrong though, I dont dislike the bloke I just think he's not really much of a cult hero.
Has anyone read snowblind? Its significantly better than Mr Nice.
And OI! I wont have any generalisations about americans, yes some of them are stupid but not all.
Hes not really a hero at all, he just lived the "high" life for years then got caught,made his money and nows out free again and probably wont go back inside and is fighting his cause.
To legalize it
He was only ever a small player, a few kilos really but the book is very interesting.
He's also written something else too, but that is a follow on from this, so you'd be best to read this one first.
Have you read any of that Hunter S Thompson I recomended to you?
I'll get snowblind today if its in the library.
Anyone ever used a toad to trip?
There are several articles from Hunter S.Thompson in this book of dope stories, they are different parts of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas from
They are both as strong as each other really in terms of the experiance, 5-meo is less visual and because of this it can be a bit scarier.
How can it be scarier if there are less visuals, i would have thought the more visuals the more fucked up you are going to be, but the 5-meo could be a head fuck which makes it scary?
However 5-meo has a darker edge to it, its more physical, more abstract, more intense. I guess without the visuals you dont have a point of reference, your cut a drift a little.
The same is true of Fly Agaric mushrooms. I believe it can be done a few times before it becomes too dilute to trip.
Suppose it depends how desperate you really are!
I wouldnt be that despeate, to drink your own piss
