    Not really. Its very different to those portable nicotine things. You vaporise the bud, not an oil.

    It smells like burnt popcorn but you can still tell its weed.

    Ah, see, I quit weed a long time ago. (was never really fun anyway, for me, I just did it socially because my loser friends did it, as did pretty much everyone who listened to my kind of music :yep - but it always gave me intense headaches, severe dehydration, and paranoia. Some people's chemistry just isn't set up for weed to be pleasant, and I'm one. :conf)

    I don't even think of the vaping movement in that context, actually. I forgot that is one potential application of it.

    No, usually when I've come across it has been people vaping tobacco - and thinking what cool M-Effs they are because they're smoking tobacco indoors at establishments where smoking is banned without actually smoking OMGWTFBBQ. Mind blown, duuuude. Such rebels. :roll:

    I find potheads incredibly annoying, I used it twice and I hated it, and I feel the same about most drug users who make up the majority of my old friends that I don't hang out with very often. I hate people who smoke cigarettes and I hate people who are sloppy drunks (although I don't mind moderate drinkers), they're all weak willed p*ssies who aren't tough enough to make it through life without some recreational drug to use as a crutch.

    Ironically as much as I dislike drug addicts, I despise equally the conservatives who try to tell them what to do and the liberals who want to ban cigarettes.:D

    As far as vaping goes its just anther douchey trend that hipsters do that makes them seems all rebellious an s*** its so gay.:-(

    Each to their own I guess. I use it recreationally the odd time and enjoy it. Don't do any other drugs.

    Personally i don't see the difference between a moderate drug user and a moderator drinker, bar one being legal of course.

    Stimulants are tricky.

    Most do consider amphetamines to be P.E.D.s, but where do you draw the line?

    Do you issue bans for having caffeine in your system?

    What about trucker speed?

    All do the same thing more or less, just a matter of degree.

    Drug testing in boxing across the board is so **** that they may as well not even test at all, and even in sports where testing is actually geared toward catching people cheating (as opposed to this "single **** test before or after the fight, just so we can say we have a testing protocol in place"), they're not catching most. How long did the most tested man in the world, Lance Armstrong, get away with "cheating" without a single positive test? Exactly. So even in a sport like cycling, which has 100x better testing protocols than boxing, guys are using PEDs on the regular without getting popped, so how many top level boxers do you think are doing it? I'd say all of them. The benefits are there and there's almost zero chance you'll get caught if you have the slightest clue what you're doing, so you'd have to be an absolute moron not to.
