Hashish. 3 days now. The plan was to go all through Sober October, buuuuut I don't see that happening.

Sure there are abstinence symptoms like cold sweat and crazy dreams, but there are also great things - some people describe it as entering god-mode where you get a lot of things done in a flurry of energetic passion.



The problem is more becoming a normal citizen and a functioning part of society. That is not cool at all.

people don't take kindly to people in god-mode for some reason but they're just haters

I don’t really get withdrawals from weed/hash/concentrates But I’ve certainly withdrawn from some heavy shit man so I feel your pain. Everyone is different. Like some people say they don’t really get kratom withdrawals. Well, after years of taking it, my withdrawals were completely identical to coming off of opiates.



As for ATF, I know most tend to rank it as one of their best, but I’m with Log S here. I prefer all their post ATF albums to ATF (except for Gore). I like ATF, BQAD is in my top 3 Deftones songs, but I prefer their later work where there’s more variety, experimentation and they’re multi faceted. As good as ATF is, it’s fairly one note.

He was just kidding man :P



I don't agree with ATF being one note at all. There's lots of peaks and valleys here, though I also prefer almost everything they made after.

Lol I guess it’s hard to detect on the internet.



Maybe not one note but not as varied as their later albums. I think ATF gave a taste of what was to come.

What do you think of Adrenaline? Birthmark and Fireal are two of their best songs ever, I love that album except for 7 Words.

Thanks larkin. I wasn't joking that much, I appreciate you feeling my pain. Would I suck a dick for a good joint right now? Probably not. But still.



I have never heard of Kratom.

Adrenaline is my least favorite Deftones album...but I still like it. Think I have it at a 3.5.



But yep, Fireal is one of my favorite Deftones songs. I think that song was a glimpse that Deftones had another side to them.

Agreed on that second part. I love how raw and visceral that album was, I think they lost that after ATF to some extent.



And damn Egarran, I've never known anyone to have withdrawals from THC. I fully thought you were funnin' there, sorry. I've never experienced it myself, but then I never stopped smoking the ganja so...

Really? It's a well know phenomenon in my stoner circles. But I have been more or less high for 20 years. Pauses have been few and far between. And it's like the universe is saying 'what are you doing man? Sobriety is not for you, you fucking poser.'



Except... I'm pretty sure my girlfriend thinks this is awesome. I get a lot of things done and there's no 2. hand smoke for her.

I've never really understood how smoking up prevents you from getting things done but I guess people smoke for different reasons. I look at it as a multi-purpose tool.

I can only conclude you smoke some weak-ass shit (:



Sure I get things done when smoking, but it's called being stoned for a reason.

Indica has a tendency for knocking you out these days, Sativa gives you a nice mental high. Know your strains my dude, there's plenty that won't incapacitate you.
