While Drug Enforcement Administration agents in California are cracking down on the popular new drug known as “wax,” people in Colorado are rushing to embrace it.
Wax, the ultimate distillation of marijuana, is so potent that it is said a single hit will keep a person high for more than a day.
“There is no weed out there that possesses the punching power that the wax does,” an undercover DEA informant who asked to remain anonymous told ABC News’ “Nightline.” “And it’s like smoking 20 joints of the best grade of weed that you have into one hit of the wax.”

What you’re saying is uninformed BS. But thanks for your concern!
Why do you think I’m “uninformed” or don’t know what I’m talking about?
It’s obvious from your comments. It’s also unquestionable that you don’t know me or the other FReepers you’re advising. What should I believe anyway, 43 years of experience or an anonymous know-it-all on the internet?
a single hit will keep a person high for more than a day
A Leftist utopia. All day spent high and doing nothing.
Nancy Pelosi approves
You don’t need to believe me because you already know what I’m saying is true.
I’m just saying what you know.
It’s a waste of time, money and your life.
You participate here. If you were a liberal I might not even bother trying to encourage you like this.
“What should I believe anyway, 43 years of experience or an anonymous know-it-all on the internet?”
Board certified shrink, 25 years in the trenches. Almost as much time practicing Tibetan Buddhist “Highest Yoga Tantra.” A dozen years professionally exploring the healing and transformative potential of altered states, including three years formal study with Stan Grof. Probably took my weight in the most heavy duty psychedelics over the years, and guided for others more times than I could possibly count.
Getting stoned on marijuana? You don’t have to believe me either, but your proudly proclaimed “43 years of experience” amounts to the waste of a precious human life. You have my compassion.
ER docs, trauma surgeons, medics etc. are the ones in the trenches.
I have utmost respect for the physical medical professionals you cite.
However, exploration of the body/mind, consciousness and the Universe beyond our limited perspective within the physical world is an entirely different animal.
Even with the best surgeons and most advanced nano-surgery, I doubt we will ever be able to “fix” most cases of mental illness physically. It truly goes beyond that. It goes beyond everyTHING.
Butane is a cryo solvent that is VERY flammable (it’s used as fuel) and it is dangerous during the evaporation stage.

Thanks for bringing some sanity to the thread
LOL!
Not in the trenches?
Much state hospital work, including previous directorship of state forensic unit - quite the trenches. Much public mental health clinic work over the years - quite the trenches. Much acute inpatient work, mostly on involuntary units - quite the trenches. Some drug and alcohol detox units - quite the trenches. Professionally, I mostly prescribe meds, and am considered very skillful at it, but I also keep my skills up with talk therapy. Certified in ECT and TMS, BTW, and on national committees for the later. Clean record. Yada yada.
Wanna know how many times I’ve been assaulted out there in the trenches over the years? Mental health workers, BTW, have higher rates of job-related morbidity and mortality than ER workers, and even higher rates than LEOs and active duty military.
The one side of my story has never deterred from the other, and they have actually blended well, and I think my experience in both gives me a unique perspective on the supposed “harmlessness” of marijuana. Hence my post. Sorry that it was, for you, merely an opportunity for a put down.
What is your professional opinion of Grof’s breathwork?
I recall the Findhorn scandals, and I know a few folks who are very longtime practitioners of Steiner’s breathwork, being touted everywhere as Mindfulness Meditation. Watching the lives of the Steinerites over 20 years or so, I don’t see much of either an upside or a downside for the practitioners. They do, however, charge a lot for workshops in the method.
Trungpa Rinpoche coined a phrase for the kind of compassion you're experiencing. Idiot Compassion.
Keep your day job. You’re no Madame Cleo. ;-)
Why do you smoke dope?
Your question would seem to be a non-sequitur deflection from the topic discussed so far but I will answer it anyway. For the same reasons that I occasionally drink a Bel Haven or a Kahlua. It’s relaxing and enjoyable.
I’m SO impressed! From now on, I’m putting social workers on the same pedestal as battle-hardened combat veterans!
How often do you smoke dope?
Not often these days. I am surprised that you’re asking after having made so many assumptions previously on a variety of things. That’s an improvement. :)
“a phrase for the kind of compassion you’re experiencing.”
LOL! Well, two points - one is the validity of anything Trungpa said, and the second is your assumption about the kind of compassion you think I’m experience . . .
