What Gives The BEST Buzz?


No poll this time. I want you Miller HIGH Lifers, Pot Smokers and Cock Tailing posters to read everything here-on-in.


In your opinion, what gives the BEST Buzz?

Also, if you'd like, tell us your favorite or your usual buzz.

Bonus Topic: Who else here (besides me) thinks Tony Sinclair is the funniest, freshest ad personality in years?

YouTube - Tony Sinclair

Tony Sinclair is a character who appears in advertisements for Tanqueray alcoholic beverages (namely gin and vodka). The highly-esteemed socialite, played by actor Rodney Mason, has so far appeared in four advertising spots as the company's spokesman. One ad takes place on an Arctic cruise and in another Tony pokes fun at a man who is over zealous at the shrimp cocktail plate. Sinclair also attends an event where a man plays "Deck the Halls" on partially full drinking glasses and in another spot has the perfect ice cube extracted for his drink.

It appears that the ploy behind this advertising campaign is to simply have the audience wondering: "Who is Tony Sinclair?", thereby instilling the name Tony Sinclair as well as the commercial in the viewers mind.

[edit] Some quotes by Sinclair

* "They say there is over a billion ice cubes in one of those things [icebergs]."
* "What's true for shrimp cocktails is true for all cocktails... always in moderation."
* (After hearing "Deck the Halls" played with the Tanqueray martinis): "Now that's an instrument I'd like to pick up...right now."
* At the end of every commercial, he smugly says, "I'm Tony Sinclair, Ready to Tanqueray."
* "Swagger, not stagger."

Social? It makes you drool on yourself and space out. It's a Dissociative Drug.

And as far as dead cells crack..

"Nitrous oxide can be habit-forming because of its short-lived effect (generally from 1 - 5 minutes in recreational doses) and ease of access. Death can result if it is inhaled in such a way that not enough oxygen is breathed in. While the pure gas is generally not toxic, long-term use in very large quantities has been associated with vitamin B12 deficiency, anemia due to reduced hemopoiesis, neuropathy, tinnitus, and numbness in extremities ( ). Harmful irreversible effects that may be caused by abuse of nitrous oxide include peripheral neuropathies and limb spasms.[3] Pregnant women should not use nitrous oxide as chronic use is teratogenic and foetotoxic. One study in rats found that long term exposure to high doses of nitrous oxide may lead to Olney's lesions.[4] Seizures, perception of time, and vision-altering perceptions are possible side effects."

If you are looking for a good high you should buy some of my stool samples. While my target audience is scientists, in all actuality quite a buzz can be had from them. They can be smoked, inhaled, or injested either orally or via syringe.

Depends where you buy it. Sometimes it comes in metal "bullets" as we called them. Sometimes they came in balloons for those that didn't have "bullet" crackers.

This reminds me about a kid from high school who died from sucking on those "bullets" you put in those containers to spritz alcoholic drinks. I am sad now.

As everyone can see, I'm ripe with professional terminology on the subject.

I hope to god he donates his body to science, because what he's done would have killed the average human long, long ago.

Or at least they should out him in a pyramid since I pretty sure he's already mummified.

There has only ever been one recorded fatality from Nitrous Oxide, the guy died from asphyxiation after filling a small cupboard with the stuff and staying inside for too long.

One "bullet" = one balloon, "bullets" are conventionally used to fill pressurised cannisters (whippy cream and such like), it is illegal to accept payment for Nitrous Oxide (although only if you know your customers will use it for drug abuse), other than that it's completely legal and is still regularly used in hospitals and such like (obviously).

IMO stress at work and fertilisers in food will do me more long-term damage than a couple of ballooons at a festival once in a while.

Oooh ooooh, new topic.... biggest ever buzz/high?!?

You snort a line of salt, followed by a shot of tequilla. You then squeeze lime juice into the eye and take a punch to the face from an opposing teams (or a friend if youre not a rugger) player.

'Candy flipping' during the Beck concert at a music festival a year or so back. Yes, tis the best experience ever. Staring at the sky dividing into jagged edges, and observing the clouds trying to squeeze through the little cracks inbetween them; like liquid flowing through some geometric lab maze. All while a girl who I just met, named Soché played with my hair and told me how beautifull it was.

A man juggling behind me sprouted six additional arms in order to catch the flying orbs encircling his head, I said something to him about being Shiva...

Bottles and cans, just clap your hands, just clap your hands... Where its at!

After Beck, Radiohead came on as the sun was setting. The crowd broke out glowsticks of every variety and tossed them into the air! The greens, blues and yellows joined the now orange clouds in running the jagged maze in the sky. They were running for the setting sun.

After Radiohead, Soché presented me with an amazing glowing crown, and placed it on my head and we parted ways, I will never meet her again, but for those few hours we both bore witness to undescribable beauty, which I can only hope I've been able to give you somewhat of an idea about. (yeah she took basically the same thing I did, but probably had more mollys with her acid)

It was now around 2 a.m. My freind who had sprouted a lizard's tail for me to hold on to led me through the crowds to a tent where an awesome funk band was playing, and various joints and pipes filled with equaly various substances were being passed through the crowd. I toked some shwag, opium, and what I thought was a hint of premo as I sampled what came my way. The funk band was projecting a crazy linear light show onto the celing of the tent, and on a huge plasma screen over the stage some old black and white cartoons from cerca 1930 were being run, well thats what I saw anyway... I boogied my ass off, and the molly kept me boogying untill the funk band had all the women who would fit on the stage come up (did I mention the chest painting booth where women would have patterns and designs painted on their chests... clothing was optional) and shake for the final song which was a bloody awesome funkified cover of CCR's Fortunate Son, It went on for at least 20 minuites. Alright so It was now around 4 a.m. and we decided we were able to sleep. So we danced our way back to our tent, and passed out.

The next morning I awoke to finde two bendable glowsticks latched together in a loop around my head (Soché's crown), I was still a little stoned and rolling slightly but damn! Best breakfast I ever ate. (pizza, I woke up around noon)

Anyone else want to show and tell?
are you lightfooted?

Personally, I like a slight wine buzz and slight THC buzz together.

However, I do enjoy both separately.

Music and Salvia was pretty interesting as well, but it's certainly not good for you. If you're not careful you'll probably whack your head on something as you fall over.

I tried Nitrous a few times, and while kinda fun, it's sad to see the kid with purple lips and a half-deflated balloon clutched in his shaking hands. Hippy crack indeed. A few times at one party in one night was enough for me.

As for all time most enjoyable buzz, it's a few cold beers on a hot day after work. That is just about the best feeling on earth. (minus a few things)
