Not sure if we have any weed heads in here, but I'm going to presume so.

How much weed would one need amongst three? Would an eighth do?

[Disco]

For an evening? If 1/8 is about 3.5g then that should be fine.

[leedsrevolution]

Yeah that would be fine. If you're not massive smokers especially so. An eighth actually being 3.5g is pretty lol though.

[Disco]

Why do you say that? Did I fuck it up or just because metric?

[leedsrevolution]

Why do you say that? Did I fuck it up or just because metric?

It's called an eighth but you don't usually get that from the dealers. I used to get 3.4g and I think I was very lucky.

[Disco]

Oh I see, probably full of stalk too.

Ours has been coming by the gram for so long I'd forgotten what 1/8 looked like.

[leedsrevolution]

Tenner per gram?

[Henry]

I did a bit in the past but haven't done it in a while. It was nice but I've no desire to take it regularly.

[leedsrevolution]

I see they're banning poppers. I haven't done them in ten years but next time I'm in a garage I'm gona get a bottle. That headache. :cool:

[mugbull]

An eighth for one night will feed about 10 people

[Disco]

Tenner per gram?

Yup.

[Disco]

Also, if it's not too sticky get a grinder and grind it all up, it'll go even further.

[Boydy]

Bloody EU!

[John]

If they're all first timers, maybe.

Though the very fact of that question in the OP suggests Manc and his mates probably are first timers, so carry on.

[Disco]

Bloody EU!

One of them is German. :sherlock:

[QE Harold Flair]

I prefer Parsley and thyme.

[Charlie]

If they are first timers, I want pictures of the skinning up efforts.

[Manc]

Plucked for the eighth. It's only for an afternoon. Molly for the night.

[mugbull]

Y'all will be on your asses if you try to finish that in an afternoon.

[Toby]

I suspect MokBull is in for a long game "American weed is stronger" commentary here.

[mugbull]

I've already done that bit once and I hope everyone learned their lesson then. I'm just cautioning a lovely fellow and his gang of chums against an afternoon potentially sullied.

[QE Harold Flair]

I'm sure this used to be illegal.

[Disco]

Like, chill out daddy-o.

[igor_balis]

My reaction to weed is like the most scaremongery bullshit PSA videos, but worse. First time I tried it I got into a taxi and asked the bloke to 'take me back to normality'. The other two times were worse. Probably for the best because I'm exactly the kind of lazy, compulsive cunt who would do nothing but smoke it if I enjoyed it.

[Smiffy]

An 8th wouldn't last me an evening. Probably get through a Q if I was 'on it'.

Definitely need pictures of skinning up efforts ha.

[Boydy]

I quite like it now and again but dear lord I hate the culture surrounding it and those that are too into it. Like in this thread - 'let's see the skinning up efforts of people who haven't done it before lolololol'. Shut up.

[Disco]

Well I don't know about you but I'm off to blaze my dope kronic right now.

[The Merse]

Used to smoke it a fair bit, especially during my party years where it was essential on comedowns, but these days (the past 3 years at least) it's an occasional treat every 3 months or so. Save for the visit to Amsterdam this year when my intentions of getting around the city were thwarted by the meniscus tear. Chronic weed use pretty much became the whole point of being there at that stage.

[mugbull]

I quite like it now and again but dear lord I hate the culture surrounding it and those that are too into it. Like in this thread - 'let's see the skinning up efforts of people who haven't done it before lolololol'. Shut up.

Is it any different than guys talking about how they've been fucked up?

I think I find dreadlocked blokes who bang on about weed annoying in the same way I do with girls who call themselves tea or gin 'fanatics' on dating profiles. I swear these cunts genuinely think they have some sort of fascinating niche interest. At least the tea chicks don't actually build their real life persona around it though.

[QE Harold Flair]

They're also lamentable people.

[Boydy]

They're dicks too.

Oh god, yeah. Tattoos and piercings seem to count as personality on those things too.

[Spoonsky]

The last time I smoked weed I ended up at an art museum. With my parents. I highly recommend one half of that situation (and it was arguably funnier with my parents there too).

[Manc]

An eighth was spot on between the two of us. Got fairly baked. :rasta:

[Dquincy]

Made spaghetti bolognese last night. Put in some oregano and and thyme in it, was delicious if i say so myself.

[Toby]

Huh-huh-huh.

[QE Harold Flair]

The op in this thread gives me the distinct and unsavoury impression of a white person trying to be black.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I remember that scene in The Wire when a kid from the projects comes up to Poot and says 'How much weed would one need amongst three?'

[Manc]

That's Phonics, babes.

Pinch of tarragon next time too. You're welcome.

[Dquincy]

You beaut. :thbup:

My secret addition is basil and ketchup.

[QE Harold Flair]

Don't you weirdos just buy sauces with that stuff already in them?

[randomlegend]

Fucking pleb.

[Dquincy]

Don't you weirdos just buy sauces with that stuff already in them?

Hell no! To make a meal from scratch is much better. You know exactly what's going in it this way, i.e fresh veg, sensible salt quantity, herbs etc....

Whereas the sauces sometimes have shitload of salt and sugar. I reckon it's more healthy to make your own, and not much more effort.

[randomlegend]

They also just taste a lot better.

[Toby]

It's also cheaper to just make it from scratch.

And you say you use tomato ketchup......

[Dquincy]

They also just taste a lot better.

Better with the sauces? Not a chance young man.

[Dquincy]

And you say you use tomato ketchup......

A single squeeze of Tommy K is massively different from a shit load of salt and sugar in a pre-bought bolognese sauce.

[randomlegend]

Better with the sauces? Not a chance young man.

Fuck no, better home made.

[Giggles]

Ketchup is a great ingredient in a lot of sauces. Home made ones are so much better, I just wish I could be arsed more.

[Dquincy]

Fuck no, better home made.

Ah, apologies... good man. :cool:

[QE Harold Flair]

A single squeeze of Tommy K is massively different from a shit load of salt and sugar in a pre-bought bolognese sauce.

Your real concern is the salt and sugar, which is fine. But the taste is clearly superior to tomato ketchup. I'd reckon ketchup has at least as much of both per whatever measurement you choose.

[QE Harold Flair]

Ketchup is a great ingredient in a lot of sauces. Home made ones are so much better, I just wish I could be arsed more.

This is the thing. I got a blender not long ago and envisaged making many a tomato based sauace. Then you reralise you have to fuck around taking the skins off a million tomatoes and think better of it. Anbd whoever said it's cheaper - it isn't, really. Depending on what sauce you get.

Tinned tomatoes or passata. Fuck peeling the real ones.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If you get the Dolmio and fucking Loyd Grossman pieces of shit in the supermarket you shouldn't be allowed to eat. Passata is the one.

There's a trick to it - cook them up then chuck them in really cold water and they should come off pretty quickly.

[Disco]

Tomato Ketchup (Mushroom Ketchup is where it's at incidentally) is basically made of vinegar and red, doesn't mean you can't use it to flavour dishes though.

[QE Harold Flair]

That's not from scratch then, is it.

[Dquincy]

Your real concern is the salt and sugar, which is fine. But the taste is clearly superior to tomato ketchup. I'd reckon ketchup has at least as much of both per whatever measurement you choose.

:saywhat: What the fuck are you on about...

* garlic
* basil
* oregano
* thyme
* chopped tomatoes
* 1 squirt of ketchup
* diced onions
* diced carrot
* salt and pepper
* splash of red wine

= homemade bolognese sauce

This is by far healthier than a pre-bought sauce.

[Dquincy]

What a fucking nobhead you are.

[QE Harold Flair]

Proper snobby shit. Once mixed with beef mince you barely notice the difference.

[Giggles]

What?

Though it's probably my own fault for saying tinned as opposed to 'real'. Poor phrasing. What do you think the ones in the tins are? Are carrots not real carrots if they're in a bag?

[QE Harold Flair]

Yes, like I said you're more bothered about the healthy side of it. You get all that stuff in bottled sauces, apart from ketchup. So if, like me, you're not constantly fretting about the calories then it's just fine. Homemade stuff does taste better (which is why I have 2 roasts a week) it's just all the fucking about.

[QE Harold Flair]

What?

Though it's probably my own fault for saying tinned as opposed to 'real'. Poor phrasing. What do you think the ones in the tins are? Are carrots not real carrots if they're in a bag?

It depends. Many tinned tomatoes have all that added sugar and preservatives and shit that people don't like in sauces. Carrots in a bag have not been processed in the same way.

[Toby]

People peel tomatoes?

[Disco]

Someone must do.

[leedsrevolution]

How the fuck did this thread become an argument about bolognase sauce.

[Disco]

How ironic that, in a thread about weed, we don't know how we got onto this subject.

[Toby]

As for the cost side of things, removing the indulgent red wine from Quincy's recipe and with quite conservative estimates of cost:


:
* garlic (5p)
* basil (5p)
* oregano (5p)
* thyme (5p)
* chopped tomatoes (40p)
* 1 squirt of ketchup (5p)
* diced onion (15p)
* diced carrot (15p)
* salt and pepper (negligible)

= homemade bolognese sauce (95p)

This is by far healthier than a pre-bought sauce.

So maybe if you buy Tesco own brand or whatever they have in Aldi it isn't, but home made is definitely cheaper than Dolmio etc in my eyes.

That's ignoring the fact you still tend to add onions and carrots to make stuff out of a jar.

[Giggles]

It depends. Many tinned tomatoes have all that added sugar and preservatives and shit that people don't like in sauces. Carrots in a bag have not been processed in the same way.

True, but there's many brands out there that are just tomatoes. Normally the shit ones go in cans of chopped so buy tinned plum if you're blending anyway.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm happy to be snobby about you.

[QE Harold Flair]

I'm happy to be snobby about you.

It's not me you're being snobby about.

[Queenslander]

Eating bolognese sauce gives me bad anxiety!

[Charlie]

1 gram costs £20+ here, and getting caught can get the death penalty. It makes it that bit more exciting.

[mugbull]

:D

Are you in Singapore? Might as well just do opium while you're there, you're not risking anything extra.

[QE Harold Flair]

Anyone who genuinely takes drugs in countries that administer the death penalty need their head checking.

[Disco]

If they were good enough to risk the death penalty for then I'd definitely want someone to check on me afterwards.
