Who gets high?

[no1000]

I have tried many things in the past but I stick to drinking and smoking these days (weed>cigs) .

I wouldn't mind trying a few things that have piqued my interest over the years but it would have to be a VERY special occasion/place.

I despise drugs. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to do any of that shit. I do however enjoy an occasional drink or two with friends or at dinner.

(Sorry I had to change my profile information to something silly again. Just don’t know if I can trust anyone. However if Kelly Shore reads any of my posts--I really am a tall, affluent, well-built, good looking, college professor, who rides a Harley… )

I get high off of the smell of burning Cordite and Hoppes No.9...

I've been sober for a little more than 60 days.

I've stayed away from drugs for 6 years now.

Drinking on the other I still love to do and mostly beer these day usually Canada's finest lager Moosehead.I have always loved Heineken and on occasion I will drink Jameson Irish Whisky.

Cool, you're a vegan? I'm a vegetarian myself.

I've actually tried Ayahuasca, but it was some that I prepared myself. I never traveled to Peru to do it the proper way.

I like the way you think but I still love my animal meat.

I've never cooked them myself but the first time I ate grasshoppers, they were dry in a plastic bag. I started calling it 'grasshopper jerky' because it looked like they had left them out in the sun to cook. Very crunchy. The second time I had them, they were in a taco. This time the grasshoppers looked to be fried. Not deep fried but fried on a saucepan with very little oil. They really don't taste like 'meat' like steak, pork, it's completely different. They taste like irony, protein. I think it's more the consistency of the grasshopper that most people are afraid of rather than the actual taste. It's a very subtle taste.

This thread seems to have become about food, not drugs.

I have eaten 17-year cicadas. I was at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in 1987 when the cicada cyle erupted. The cicadas were everywhere. One day, I noticed one of the custodians making his way slowly down one of the walkways. Every once in a while, he would reach up and grab a cicada from a low-hanging tree and pop it in his mouth.

He explained to me that you want to eat some of them alive, just when they're molting. He told me they were like soft-shell crabs (a Baltimore specialty). He had a knack for picking out the right ones from among the (literally) hundreds of thousands, or probably millions, that were lying everywhere. Being a firm believer in trying anything edible at least once, I gave it a go. It was delicious.

The next day, a professor I was working with invited me to a restaurant owned by a friend of his. It was a private dinner of cicadas, served many different ways. I had them served just like soft-shell crabs, rolled in flour and sauteed with butter and shallots and some herbs.

In 2004, a friend of mine in Washington, D.C. (also in the unique U.S. cicada belt) told me that a restaurant in Georgetown served pretty much the same recipe. That would have been 17 years after I tried them -- hence, the 17-year-cicada cycle.

I took drugs heavily from the ages 13 to 18. Mostly MDMA and Weed with the rare bit of coke.

I won't go near the stuff these days though unless on a special occasion.
