DISCUSSION: What if this journal were Erowid?
Posted 11 years ago**Discussion rules:
ΔREAD the whole topic. Then you have a chance of staying on it =P
ΔStay chill. No fighting. Think of what Thumper's momma taught him- that applies here too. Even if you disagree with someone, you can respond civilly. (Seriously, its not even worth it. Ill just hide any argument as soon as I see it. IDC if you're still talking or not, I'll be rude like that if I have to =P)
ΔBe descriptive and interesting. No three-word sentences, this is a discussion page! DISCUSS SHIT.**
HYPOTHETICALLY if this journal were the Erowid.org experience vaults where free-discussion on the topic of drugs were encouraged, and you found the marijuana section, and there was a collective theme called "First, best and worst" what would you write? Now, yall, please understand that I am NOT advocating you guys smoke/eat/vaporize weed, just so we're clear on that point. That would be ILLEGAL! Don't break the law! Cuz.... it's like.. the law.. which is important and infallible....and stuff n junk... So don't break it... Cuz that's bad. Probably.
BUT, if you possibly have already done so in your distant past, long before seeing the error of your ways as you obviously now do (I mean, you know, everyone knows we're all good, law-abiding standup citizens here at 420Furs) and someone were asking you what your First, Best and Worst experiences on marijuana were, what might you say?

UPDATEZ and MOD OPPORTUNITY
Posted 11 years agoFirst of all, It has come to my attention that Pennsylvania, in addition to being the awesome state that plays host to Anthrocon and the Steelers (Black and Gold! WOO!) is trying to out-awesome itself. Apparently they're going for green, since a Penn senator is looking for bill backing to legalize.
http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/.....lize-pot-.html
http://www.theweedblog.com/pennsylv.....nians-approve/
So I might have extra incentive to actually brave the crowds for Anthrocon sometime soon! =D
On another note- I am looking for moderators! Life has been kicking my ass lately and I haven't been on FA as much as I should. So, I am looking for a couple people to help me hit this joint. Anyone interested? I am looking for people who:
*Can check in at least once every other day- while sober.
*People who are willing to adhere to my no-minors policy.
*People who are upfront and honest enough to let me know if they ever change their mind about being a mod.
*People who don't troll on FA- I don't need a mod disappearing because of a banhammer.
*Prejudiced (against anything) people need not apply
*Previous mod experience a bonus.
If you're interested, send a note with
*Your account name(not necessary for FA notes)
*What you go by on FA
*Why you want to be a mod
to my personal account (IWantYouInsideme) or my email (SamhainDogsoul@ymail.com) with 420 somewhere in the subject (if not, you'll be ignored) to be considered.
I'll be announcing the new mods on Friday, January 25th, so please have your "application" in by Wednesday, the 23rd.
DISCUSSION: OMFG (what if) weed was legalized!

Ill just hide any argument as soon as I see it. IDC if you're still talking or not, I'll be rude like that if I have to =P)**
(Disclaimer: The below is a hypothetical scenario. No one blow me up for lying or getting your hopes up, cuz you've been warned! =P)
OMG!! GUYZ!! DID YOU HEAR?!?!!?! Weed is totally legal now!! Yesterday the supreme court (Parliament/ The governmental body that controls national laws where you live, etc=the parallel for your country) ruled it unconstitutional(etc) for the government to decide what we can put into our bodies!!! It is now legal to smoke marijuana- but growing it to sell isn't legal. They've decided to put the same restrictions on it as alcohol, so it can be bought in stores by people who are 21(etc) and up. You can't drive while on it, or smoke it within a 500 foot radius of a church, school, playground or daycare etc. and public intoxication laws still apply, but as of today it is legal to use pot, and in one week stores will legally be able to carry marijuana products for the public.
My question for you is (Pick only one!):
A You are average guy Bud Bongwater, what do you do today, or next week? (Besides smoke, obviously. Be descriptive, and realistic, because as much as we'd all like to, not many people can actually afford what it would cost to jump into a swimming pool full of bud or smoke a blunt the size of a baseball bat.)
B You are Stoney McPott and you know nothing goes better together than music and weed, so you decide to use the business great uncle Willie gave you. You're going to convert a corner of your record store to sell marijuana products. So what do you order for your shop? (Don't say "everything", you've got a business to run, and there are too many options. Remember, all you have right now is music stuff. Keep it to ten or so (types of) products. Be descriptive and specific)
C You are Tobaccus Mahlboruh or Andyhauser Bush. You don't want your company to go under from the overnight competition, so you plan to capitalize on the new legalization by getting into the pot business. What products do you invent or offer to get a piece of the pie? (Do you grow or just make products from the bud of growers? etc. Be inventive and descriptive.)
Go! =3

WELCOME!!!
Posted 11 years agoWELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!!!!
I wanna take a moment to thank you for visiting my little group here ^__^
+To Be A Member You MUST+
Be 18 or older - This isn't a joke, or just to cover my ass. I genuinely do not support underage drug use in any form. I am aware it happens, and that some underage people can handle it responsibly- but as that is the exception, not the rule, I don't condone it, and I'll not knowingly have kids running around talking about it here.)
*+Watch the group[/b] and you're instantly in!
*Respect other group members
+You Do NOT Have To+
*Draw
*Draw 420 themed art
*Do ANY drugs (seriously, drug culture and drug themed art is awesome, even if you don't do any yourself)
*Join in the discussions
*Post the icon on your profile (though I totally appreciate it if you do!)
+OKAY! I'm a member....What happens now??+
Well, that depends on you. What do you wanna do?
*If you just want to represent on your profile, thats cool. Just type : 420Fursicon : for or : icon420Furs : for 420Furs into your profile, remove the spaces between the colons and you're good to go.

Keep in mind, I do clear out the shouts from time to time, so if it's important you might want to post it permanently in your own gallery and just link back from time to time. I'll probably build a bulletin board journal if I see enough ads on the main page.
*You can also join in a Discussion. To do this you must follow the rules posted at the top of each one, they're common sense ones, really. Nothing restricting. The most recent topic will always be linked on main page, or you can look in Journals and check out how discussions have gone over previous topics. You can also suggest a topic, just send a note.

Posted 11 years agoHey guys
I'm unhappy to say that I'll be unable to get online for a few weeks. My brother is moving to North Dakota, and taking his computer with him. It'll take me a little bit to get access to a computer and tablet again. But I shall return!! ^__^

DISCUSSION: Legal Herbs- Bullshit or Brilliant?

High Everybody!
We've all seen them in the glass cases at our local herb shop, most often because we're looking in another case for the perfect Pringles stash can, or drooling over the latest Zong. Often, we don't give them a second glance. Some ignore them because "They're legal, so how good could they be?" - but there are some who swear by them.
Damiana, Blue Lotus, Wild and Klip Dagga, Salvia Divinorum, Marijuanilla, Wild Lettuce, Yerba, Calea Zacatechichi, Sinicuichi, Cali Poppy, Kanna, Coltsfoot, Migwort, Celadine, Mullien, Marshmallow, Kratom.
EDIT--Folks, I am not talking about "legal weed" or "incense", that is a topic for it's own discussion. This is about the herbs listed above, not a drug that uses some of these herbs and has some chemical sprayed on it
What have you tried? When? How old were you? How did you like it? What was it like? Would you suggest it to others? Was it what you expected?
Lets have some smoke and tell, everyone! =3

This week/month/whatever's discussion was inspired by
High Everybody!
Pretty much anybody who's HEARD OF pot has heard the horror tales of weed being laced with all kinds of things. Usually, the story goes that some unsuspecting pot smoker unknowingly gets some laced weed, smokes it, and promptly goes insane from unexpected hallucinogen syndrome (*Note, may not be an actual condition) or something.
Setting aside situations like what happened to my friend (In which her "friend" -some friend, I say- KNOWINGLY gave her a joint laced with meth, without telling her. Because she "thought she would like it". Instead she ended up crawling around on the floor for an unknown period of time, thinking she was dying. >=c) or someone purposely trying to screw someone they have a grudge against I find this hard to swallow.
I used to believe it, no questions asked. Then I got to thinking about how silly it sounded, for a few reasons. Aren't most drugs more expensive than weed? Wouldn't that mean that dosing someone without their knowledge be a waste of money? Why give away free drugs (if they're unknown of, you can't really add that to the price)? If this is a new dealer, he wouldn't get much return business. If it's a regular dealer- why would he want to lose the trust of his customers?
The more I think about this, the more I think it might be a fairy tale. It's never happened to me and I certainly never heard of it happening to someone else. But, this is a discussion page, so I pass the blunt to you:
Does this actually happen? Has this happened to any of you? Or to a trustworthy source (friend, family member- someone you know personally)?
Or is it a bogeyman story like "Gateway Drug", entirely false/ridiculously rare and only meant to scare people away from trying weed?
***AS AN ASIDE:Help me out yall... My brother and I have been wracking our brains trying to figure out a song we liked- but all we can remember is the music video. It came out sometime around when Jack Johnson's Sitting, Waiting Wishing (2005). The band is in a forest, doing their thing surrounded by Snow White's friends (cute woodland creatures) and at one point in the song, the music picks up and it looks like someone turned off the sun. Then some animals get scary with sharp pointy teeth and start attacking each other. Thats about what we remember. Ring any bells? Check to see if this has been answered before you respond- I dont want the discussion spammed ^^ Thanks !***

420 Links
Posted 11 years agoPosted here will be websites relevant to our interests.
*Now in alphabetical order! ^^ Numbers will be ordered as if they were written out IE: 420 with the F's. Obvious ones like Cannabis.com and the High Times website etc will be omitted.
To suggest a site, send a note with "420 Links" in the subject.
★Donkey Dope Pavilion~ A Mary Jane themed anthro Transformation page. Neat art- mostly based on the idea of a strain of TF-causing weed called Donkey Dope.
★Erowid~ All the drug information you could ever want about every drug imaginable. All of the drug pages contain unbiased scientific information, and the Experience Vaults are full of personal experience stories.
★420 Chan Exactly what it sounds like. ↘↘My sec system warned me that some pages on this site may contain malware etc- browse at your own discretion↙↙
★420 Furs Have you ever wondered: What if FA were completely 420 themed? or What if 420Frus group had a whole -much better organized- website? No need to just wonder!! With galleries, forum, chat and more, you can get the best of both. *No connection with this group other than a shared passion*
DISCUSSION: Medicinal MJ- Empathy or Excuse?
Posted 11 years ago**Discussion rules- stay chill. No fighting. Think of what Thumper's momma taught him- that applies here too. Even if you disagree with someone, you can respond civilly. (Seriously, its not even worth it. Ill just hide any argument as soon as I see it. IDC if you're still talking or not, I'll be rude like that =P)**
Now, before yall blow up on me- don't worry. I'm no fool- I KNOW sweet Mary Jane has medicinal applications, and that those are valid and real. That's not what this discussion is about.
The number one argument against Medijuana (that was a typo, but Im leaving it, and using it from now on as an abbreviation, haha) proponents who do not need medijuana for themselves is that they want it legalized for medical use only because they are pretending to care about sick people, so that they can eventually get to smoke it for fun. That is, it's proponents are ultimately trying to sneak in recreational weed on Medijuana's coattails.
So, what say you, dear members?
Are we trying to get it legalized for patients because we want a viable pharmaceutical (<---OMG, I spelled that RIGHT the first time?!?!) drug alternative for those who would benefit- REGARDLESS of if it ever becomes legal recreationally? OR, are we just using sick people as an excuse and medicinal legalization stepping stone for recreational use?
I know MY answer, but tell me what you think. And how many of our number do you think agree with you? Most of us? Half? Less than?
...And....... GO.

WHAAAT!? A JOURNAL FROM 420 FURS???
Posted 11 years agoBUT HOW?!?!?! I THOUGHT THEY WERE MADE OF DEADNESS!!
Nope. =3
So.... I finally "remembered" the account password! Hahahaha... Yeah, problem was, I don't have the email the account is registered with and so having the password reset wasn't gonna happen, and so I kind of moved on and hadn't visited in forever. Then this morning I found somewhere randoml;y in the back of my brother's computer- lo and behold, a Notepad file that says "Passwords and shit" AND THERE IT WAS! Yay!
SOOOO this account will FINALLY be active again!!!! I am FLOORED with how many people have joined and everything in the mean time... SO, after I clear this backlog: 684C, 912W, 153N, things will move forward again. ^____^
PLEASE don't post anything anywhere but this journal, for now... Like I said, backlog ^^;
ALSO- Everyone who asked if they can join: You're SO in! =P (REMEMBER, there is a strict 18+ policy here. If I find out you're under age, you're out till you turn 18.)
