The fire was the correct way. See the flames pointing up?

One day I'll be lucky enough to try a bong etc....until then, I have to stick to rolled joints. Still good.

Oh I love rolled joints. I'm doing this because the roach weed and hash are too harsh for my throat using just the vaporizer or bong.

I see the flames and tree pointing down. The tree is at the bottom of the photo, the fire pit at the top. Weird.

^^^^Is it an upside down campfire?

That must be some really good shit, dude!

As a matter of fact, it is. I took some fresh stuff on vacation with me. I had it in 2 sandwich bags, inside a jar, with the jar in a ziploc bag, and I could still smell it through that. I rolled a joint at a relative's house before going to bed, in a bedroom with the door closed, and the next morning they thought a skunk was around.
I kid you not.

There are some perks to being 40 years old.

(I didn't smoke the joint in the house, just rolled it.)

Are you doing a yoga type headstand while viewing the pic?

same place, next night. Tonight, in the background are wildcats trying to hustle some chicken legs from me. Unfortunately, the munchies only allow for bones.

Dude. Seriously. It's upside down.

[Adco]

Now we have a reference. The second pic is the same orientation as the first one. Is it also upside down?

I think I may have solved the problem. If this 3rd pic is correct, then it is my iPad causing the confusion.

I had the iPad upside down. However, whether I turn it either way, the picture in my gallery shows it the same way. I never see an upside down picture in my gallery but if I download to a PC, some are upside down. Depends on when and by whom it was taken.

[Adco]

The other confusing thing is this: all the pics I have ever put on FB via my iPad have always been shown the correct way regardless of the iPad orientation when taking the pic. Maybe this forum is upside down....

[BlackBart]

All sorted. Cool pic... After you with that doob, it's obviously really good shit!

[Adco]

How crazy was that upside down picture? I thought you guys were pulling my short and curlies! Especially with the state I was in. I am at home now and had a look at the pictures on a standard PC. We had a good giggle about it.

My daughter's b/f saved this piece of firewood a while ago. He saw the potential and passed it on to me. I did a bit of work on it. We named it "inspiration". Has since given us a lot of it.

I was thinking of polishing it up a bit but decided not to. It might change the characteristics and I don't want to take that chance!
Why try and fix something that works?

I need to get some medicinal marijuana for my chronic pain. Though the stuff I have now literally smells up my whole house. It's different from the last stuff I mentioned up the page too.

No link between tough penalties and drug use - report

There is "no obvious relationship" between tough laws and levels of drug use, a government report has suggested. It compared the UK with countries like Portugal, where possession of small amounts of drugs no longer carries criminal sanctions.

Liberal Democrat Home Office minister Norman Baker said the findings should prompt the end of "mindless rhetoric" on drugs with a new focus on treatment. The report comes as the Home Office launches a clampdown on "legal highs".

The report explored different ways in which 13 countries approach drug misuse and compared them the UK.

After examining a range of approaches, from zero-tolerance to decriminalisation, the research concluded that drug use is influenced by factors "more complex and nuanced than legislation and enforcement alone." However the report found there had been a "considerable" improvement in the health of drug users in Portugal since the country made drug possession a health issue rather than a criminal one in 2001...

It seems Cameron's response is the usual fingers-in-the-ears approach. Genius.

It's the usual 'You can't legalise it because it's against the law' crap.
