On a mildly unrelated note I’d never been aware of how to use paint it black in a sentence and yet you just did it perfectly. What a great phrase.

Swedish helps here

The verb ‘att svartmåla’ means - to denigrate

svart - black
att måla - to paint

Thus denigrating is literally ’blackpainting’

Fucking great pub

My dad used to live opposite and minded the bar (lol) a few times when the landlady went on holiday. There used to be snaps of him up on the wall in various states of revelry

Big fan of psychedelics, was he?

RoverHendrix · 2019-09-17T17:01:01.293Z

Sounds like those “hot couch guys” that everybody was on about the other month

the_ravens · 2019-09-17T17:16:03.918Z

Sadly not. I reckon he would probably benefit from some

The mushrooms I had the other night were better than mdma

If you can rework all your anecdotes into a movie script you may be onto a chunk of cash.

Barry Big Bananas has done me a little

SunnyB · 2019-09-18T06:14:25.473Z

Same. Don’t really have time for the recovery period with kids at home. I don’t really drink, even at the moment. Not enough to get drunk anyway.

And yeah, fuck cocaine, just turns me into an obnoxious monologue. Think I once talked at someone about The Passenger by Iggy Pop for 45 straight minutes.

(Tune tho)

Entirely legal - mostly based on what the s*n thinks. I remember they made weed class c for a while and the press ran endless stories about it causing schizophrenia until it was moved back up to b.

I can tell you (because I’ve read the papers) that there was no spike in diagnoses of schizophrenia whilst it was class C. Not to say that there is no link - if you are susceptible to such things then it is the worst possible idea - but the change in the law had zero evidence base in either direction.

To follow up, Professor David Nutt did a big study comparing harm for 20 different drugs - got fired as the Government’s chief adviser on drug policy for telling the truth about it:

the Guardian – 2 Nov 09

David Nutt's dangerous drug list

How harmful are the drugs on the list drawn up by the ousted government drugs adviser and his colleagues?

Hated Alan Johnson ever since this

SunnyB · 2019-09-18T07:46:51.042Z

It chimed very well my general frustration with the way an alarming majority of people respond to facts and evidence.

the_ravens · 2019-09-18T09:42:54.447Z

That’s it isn’t it? It’s not the childcare whilst you’re out that’s the problem, it’s the following day(s) that are tricky.

I’d be delighted with myself if I never took coke again, but I know how weak willed I am.

SunnyB · 2019-09-18T09:46:43.455Z

I’ve been good for the last 18 months and don’t miss it in the slightest - the danger-zone is if I’m already drunk and someone offers. Always seems like a much better idea then. (un)Luckily my hangovers are so bad these days that I can’t really drink neither.

the reported effects of microdosing make it sound like a proper miracle cure

needs to be fully investigated asap
