Hey ho hippyfans!

It’s a brand new month, but don’t worry, that means it’s still under war­ranty, so you can return it if you are not 100% satisfied!

I worked like a dog last month; that is if you know any dog­gies who put in some­thing like 200 hours of night­shift­ing in around three weeks! My guess is; you don’t.

Unless, you work on the bomb squad. With a snif­fer dog. And it’s been a very busy month for impro­vised devices.

And I bet you don’t do any of that either!

I spent last week as a semi-vegetable; one that required mas­sive amounts of sleep and soft drugs. I can’t say I did much more than kill time all last week, now this week I have to bury it.

It’s not that I didn’t have any­thing to do, for in truth I had loads I could have done. I have other projects ongo­ing of a cre­ative nature as well as one that is reach­ing fruition and will be shortly avail­able in print. Because of my lack of activ­ity, that’s now behind schedule.

I’ve also got this blog. Don’t tell me you couldn’t have done with a dose of the hippy last week?

You need a lit­tle hippy in your life everyday!

So I’ve got no excuses except I was tired. And I’m old and get­ting older, but I’ve more than cov­ered that sub­ject, so we’ll give it a miss today.

In terms of relax­ation and recre­ation, I revis­ited an old friend, Mr. Piperazine.

I took some PEP Twisted over the week­end and I must say that they are very enjoy­able. I think my unfor­tu­nate and com­pletely self-inflicted OD on Pur­ple Ohms put me off these par­tic­u­larly effec­tive legal highs a bit, but now I’m back and ready to party.

More than that, I’m ready to sam­ple some of the next generation!

There’s plenty of new pills on the mar­ket and my friends at EDIT seem to stock them all. They’ve added a few new ranges that I plan on try­ing soon; purely for research pur­poses, so I can come here and review them just for you!

You see, I’m still liv­ing that hippy life, so you don’t need to! Although you can if you want; I’m not stop­ping you. Your mort­gage is!

A few of these new pills have caught my eye. The next one’s on my list to try are called Speed­balls and they are unique in that they are a mix of BZP/TFMP blend plus and this is the inter­est­ing ingre­di­ent; kratom.

I’ve not tried Kratom before, so I am inter­ested in what these pills will do. I also ordered some 15xKratom extract, which I will be sam­pling soon as well.

The pills that really look inter­est­ing are a range of caps called Funk Pills. Funk Pills come in wide vari­ety, they are rumoured to be strong and effec­tive. Ini­tial reports so far have been very favourable. The two that I’m going to order next are Twisted (Psy­che­delic Funk) and the Big Grin, which you can check out for your­self if you really want to know about them. That’s why I spend all this extra time includ­ing all these extra-special hippylinks!

The last one that is on my list of fun things to do soon are from the orig­i­nal PEP peo­ple and they are called PEP X. They are sup­posed to be the strongest, most MDMA like pills avail­able, but they are so new that there is very lit­tle feed­back avail­able, so I will have to judge for myself.

All of these pills are in their third or fourth gen­er­a­tion. This means as they tin­ker with the ingre­di­ents and refine the ratios and such, they are becom­ing more effec­tive with fewer side effects. Good news for everyone!

You might be sur­prised to find that most, if not all of these pills con­tain vit­a­mins and other revi­tal­is­ing com­pounds to min­imise the poten­tial ill effects of the drugs in the mix.

If you want far more real-world infor­ma­tion than I could ever pro­vide you with myself, I would sug­gest you check out the Legal Highs forum on EDIT. There’s a wealth of info and expe­ri­ence avail­able and it always pays to do your home­work before play­ing around with any new sub­stance or drug. It’s good to learn from other’s mis­takes, so you don’t have to make them yourself.

I make a lot mis­takes, so you don’t have to!

Here’s a hippy hint: Drink a rea­son­able amount of fluid when you take piper­azines. They are a bit of a diuretic, which means you will piss a lot and that fluid needs to be replaced.

Here’s another hippy hint: Don’t choose booze as your fluid. Why? Because alco­hol dehy­drates you and so does piper­azine, and the com­bi­na­tion means you will end up with the nas­ti­est hang­over of your life the next day if you overindulge in liquor.

Now a lit­tle his­tory: These pills became pop­u­lar in New Zealand first, where the very sen­si­ble gov­ern­ment pro­motes them as “harm min­i­mal­i­sa­tion solu­tions” because they keep you away from street drugs. That’s no bad thing, because with street drugs you never know what you are going to get.

Or more fre­quently, not get as you won’t know until after you’ve spent you money and wasted a night wait­ing to come up on some pills you bought from some guy in some club, who told you they were super-duper strong E’s the best he ever had!

These are con­sis­tently made to the same stan­dard, kind of like Big Mac’s. You can walk into any McDon­alds, any­where in the world and order a Big Mac and it will be exactly like any other Big Mac you’ve ever had. Brand con­sis­tency or some other mar­ket­ing wank-speak.

Piper­azine is an extract of pep­per. Fuck knows what is in those pills you buy in a club! All the really cool kids have already fig­ured out that these legal highs are bet­ter, cheaper and more depend­able than street drugs. Isn’t it time you dis­cov­ered them too?

And now for the hippy dis­claimer: Although these drugs are legal, they are still drugs and should be treated as such. They are not candy, even if Pur­pleOhms are grape flavoured.

Be sen­si­ble, be smart and treat them with respect. All it’s going to take to piss all over our party (again) is some stu­pid kid tak­ing way too many of these legal pills and before you know it, a photo of the kid on life-support is in all the news­pa­pers and the kid’s par­ent start some lame action group to get them banned!

Just say no to reck­less abuse!

Always fol­low the instruc­tions on the pack­ag­ing and be respon­si­ble when you party. Don’t drive when you’re fucked up. Go some­place and dance your ass off instead!
