    Opiod abuse among hillbillies? This meme… that graphic? Coincidence? I think not.

    I tried to snort a line of weed once, almost died. It got into my trachea and I started choking. I should have known marijuana was deadly!

    The CDC’s post:

    Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.2

    The citation:

      It’s worth noting that cannabis was the least addictive of the substances analyzed in this study, almost a third as likely as alchohol:

      The cumulative probability estimate of transition to dependence was 67.5% for nicotine users, 22.7% for alcohol users, 20.9% for cocaine users, and 8.9% for cannabis users.

      CDC rounding 8.9% up to 10% seems a bit suspicious to me

        I dip a tampon in THC oil and insert it in my anus. Learned it on fox news.

        Unfortunately, this is inspired from a real stupid thing some young people did but with alcool. Goes too fast in their bloodstream and some supposedly ended up in a coma.

          I have to believe that that’s a myth. Just thinking about it for 2 seconds makes believe that nobody has ever done it. Why? Tampons have to be compressed inside an applicator for insertion. If you leave one inside the tube, it won’t soak up enough liquid to matter. Take it out of the tube and soak it in liquid, well, now it’s a puffed up, soggy mess. Good luck getting that into an orifice.

            It is called ‘boofing’ and the number of people that do it is more than 0. Because of how the body absorbs substances that way, people can get a stronger effect than consuming them orally.

    I’ve unknowingly injected some wild ass noids in my time. Not fun, super dangerous. The real bad time, I luckily got warned before hand. Ended up copping something else cause there were ambulances everywhere and people freaking out all over the street, so yea, something told me not to. Whew.

          I asked if it was satire because it seemed full of outlandish things. Firstly, wtf is a noid? I’m pretty sure you aren’t talking about the Dominos pizza mascot from the late 80s.

          What is 'i copped something else " supposed to mean? Your comment reads like an AI got high AF and wrote something to try to sound cool.

        Here in Wisconsin, we still remember the time when Fox News showed video of the “violent Act 10 protests” with green palm trees in the background.

        Palm trees in Wisconsin. In February.
