That's interesting. A tolerance or desensitization effect. I guess only to be expected, but 3 weeks is not so long an abstinence period.
It always seems like a long time K
And most definitely! I've gone through many different frequency's of use.
Prior to FIFO, prior to work place drug testing, I used to smoke much more frequently... you do build up a tolerance. I'd suggest that's the same for, almost, all drugs?
I use three different drugs for sleep when I'm away; restavite, phenergen and Mersyndol (coedine).
Most nights I use one of these and alternate amongst the trio. Being away from home, sleeping in a single bed (usually with a pretty average mattress) isn't easy to get used to, especially when you're doing 12 hour shifts for a couple of weeks straight, in extreme conditions. If you don't get enough sleep, you're an accident waiting to happen out there, believe me.
Don't use anything when I'm home on break... well the gunja helps sometimes.
Have done so for 15 years. Checked it with my GP and he said it's fine, you function better with adequate sleep, if you need to use them, use them.
This is why cannabis should be legalised immediately!
My rant last night failed to convey what I intended.. for obvious reason... I was baked!
The plane full of alcohol affected passengers were a disgrace! Loud, obnoxious and, of most concern, aggressive. This is the biggest problem with alcohol. I'm not gunna harp on about it again, but 80% of police responses are for alcohol related incidents... 80 funkin %!!
Yes Mugs... just because one drug isn't as bad in my opinion blah bla blah.
What I want, is ALL drugs legalised and regulated.
I was thinking about this whilst walking Pete this morning.
I've run out of smoke... I wouldn't mind a bit more for the next couple of days. Have a smoke and watch the Pies win this weekend before I head back to the bush.
If it was legal, I'd go down the chemist, show my medicare card and photo ID and pick up a gram or 2. It's all registered and monitored... oh yeah, Skids smokes 5 grams a month, he's a 50 yo tax payer, clean (ish) record, does the righty, all good.
Damo on the other hand, he's grabbed 30 grams in the last few weeks, doesn't work and is a bit of a rough diamond... maybe he needs reference to a GP for further monitoring.
People who need help, could be sent for it sooner rather than later.
I can get some smoke now if I want, anyone can. The black market will continue to thrive until we get smarter with drug regulation.
Prohibition of ANYTHING doesn't, hasn't and will never work.
We need to get a lot smarter about this....
Legalise, not just gunja, but, ALL drugs. It's the only way, argue all you like, but I'm right on this one.
Don't count the days, make the days count.
