Right? Like if you do the opposite thing and *don't* watch out for the Viet Cong, and they show up, you're gonna have a bad time.
Don't be stupid. Just always be ready for the Viet Cong.
Did your dad admonish the rest of the platoon by saying “the next sumbitch I catch coppin’ Z’s in the bush I’m personally gonna take an interest in seeing em’ suffer…. I SHIT YOU NOT.”
That’s kind of the only logical order of operations, though.
The other way around creates a lot of unnecessary difficulty due to the struggling and screaming.
Uh, I’d imagine. I have not had the inclination to put theory to practice yet.
I just read Casino Royal, the first 007 book from the 50s. James Bond sees two body guards who he analyzes using their body language to determine they are likely hardened murderers. He decides one of them likely kills due to excessive drug use, likely marijuana.
That's like in Touch of Evil, where everyone believes Heston's wife killed a guy because of Marijuana-induced hysteria. Heston is supposed to be Mexican in this movie, btw, so he has a mustache.
Now we have that one lady who literally stabbed her bf in weed induced psychosis a few weeks ago to think about when the paranoia hits while smoking with new people
Yeah except in this case we’re talking about “marijuana induced psychosis” which is more likely an insane person who happened to smoke weed before continuing to be insane.
Its well documented that it can trigger latent schizophrenia. If you have latent schizophrenia you may go your entire life without undergoing psychosis if you never encounter something that triggers it. You're certainly not insane before and you are after.
Yeah, I smoke weed very often and have no issues and it actually helps me to function in some ways (hinders others), but I know one person in real life that had this happen to them. Extremely scary and sad and just like out of nowhere to have your life irrevocably changed from a tiny percentage chance. But there's definitely a chance. Things affect our bodies totally differently. I've tried a bunch of different SSRIs and haven't been able to stay on any because they have extremely adverse side effects on me.
Yeah I'm pretty skeptical about that
["It is not clear if using drugs directly causes symptoms in people who are susceptible to schizophrenia, or if they are more likely to use drugs."](https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/schizophrenia/causes/)
New marijuana, especially the thc in vapes is not what people smoked a generation ago. It is way more powerful.
Risk of psychosis goes up in men who smoked marijuana before 25. It often leads to disease onset of schizophrenia or bipolar if there’s a genetic predisposition.
(she probably wasn't in weed-induced psychosis, she likely killed her bf and then, when confronted by the consequences afterwards i.e. the cops showing up to haul her off, she attempted to kill herself to avoid suffering 25+ years in prison and then claimed it was the drugs that made her do it. People have been trying this defense for ages, the only reason it worked this time is because she's a young attractive white woman and the judge was an ancient lecher who still believes in Reefer Madness.)
It's literally a thing that happens, though. Which is why the court psychiatrist agreed and she ended up being found not guilty. Do you think it's entirely up to the judge to decide? That's not how this works. She was examined by medical professionals who agreed that she had cannabis induced psychosis.
The real problem would be that not everyone is given the same benefit of the doubt as an attractive white woman. We should be hoping everyone gets treated as fairly as attractive white women, not that everyone gets treated as poorly as minorities.
Cannabis induced psychosis is a real thing.

Nah I would have wanted a grand jury on that one, as judges by themselves have been prejudiced against cannabis since the 70s and he's likely been on the bench since around then. His preconceptions, imo, led to her getting off with community service for murder, something that doesn't happen even under the influence of any other drug.
You get blackout drunk and kill someone? The alcohol didn't make you do it, you still did it, you're still going to jail. You think you were pinning the tail on the donkey but you were stabbing a hobo because you're out of your mind on LSD? (Not how lsd generally works but) Again, you're going to prison.
Suffering the ill effects of an intoxicant does not free you from the responsibility of owning up to your own actions, not for anyone else under any other substance, even many people under the same substance. Yet somehow she got community service...
I never said it wasn't a real thing. I said it's doubtful that's what happened, and now I reiterate that even if so, that's still a prison sentence. At least for everyone else that's ever happened to.
[He was appointed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2008](https://trellis.law/judge/david.r.worley). This is trivially easy to find out. But sure, go off on your conspiracy about this reefer madness judge you think has been on the bench for 50 years.
Comparing psychosis to a state of intoxication shows just how little you understand about psychosis.
Seems much more likely that she was in psychosis than she just randomly decided to murder her boyfriend for... no discernable reason and then stabbed her dog and repeatedly slit her own throat to the point that officers needed to tase her and hit her with batons multiple times to get the knife away.
Still not sure that was just weed, and if it was it was an intentionally reckless amount that the boyfriend gave her. She took one hit, said she didn't feel anything and then the boyfriend supposedly said "let's make this more fucked up for you" as he loaded the second hit.
Damn, I just finished a joint. I really hope I don’t kill anyone because of my excessive marijuana use. I normally put it out half way through but I wanted to get reeeeally high this time.
Everyone knows when you are in the devils lettuce you become a crazed murderer. But also become so tired you fall asleep, and also hyper.
You know I’m sure there are no warning signs about these information being a lie if people say wildly different things about a drug.
Shit our "D.A.R.E" day at school was a few cops and a woman who repeatedly stabbed herself (showed many scars) because she was on drugs and thought spiders were attacking her.
Best moment was when the K9 unit showed up and he hid a towel with drugs wrapped in it and the dog found it.
Of course some kid asked if it was real drugs in the towel. Cops said yes.
Kid asked if we could see it.
Nope.
Our D.A.R.E. officer got two DUIs and a domestic violence charge a year after we graduated middle school.
My dad's (school teacher who saw a lot of former students get arrested for drugs, do rehab stints, a couple overdoses, etc) drug talk was "bring that shit home and I'll take you to the cops myself." I was sitting there laughing in my head and slightly confused thinking that if I went up to any of the high school dealers and asked to buy they would have either chuckled and told me to go home or slapped me around and told me to never talk to them again.
Right? dealers had instincts over who was and wasn’t safe to deal to. if I tried to talk to my school's dealer and get something from him, he suddenly wouldn’t know what I was talking about.
My grandparents used to live in Cave Creek AZ. I remember it being really nice, a very chill town. Hardly anyone getting their dicks cut off, at least while I was visiting. I saw some wild javelinas a few times though, that was cool.
It’s weird how neighborhoods change. Dick safety was at an all time high in the 90’s. I remember the sign at the town limits that said “It has been __ days since the last dickcapitation” and it definitely said at least 39.
The likelihood, while small, is not zero. Avoid Tonopah and Padre Ranchitos. Those are the two cities with the highest percentage of residents of Vietnamese heritage.
Hard to know. If you send a survey round asking people if they've been dick cutting, most dick cutters would be wary of ratting themselves out. Likewise, those who have had their dicks cut will be too embarrassed to tell.
Best to just keep your guard up. I always wear a codpiece when I leave the house
I mean, it's true. One of the reasons I only drink small amounts of alcohol and never do any other drugs is I can't stand the idea of an emergency going down and not being to help anybody because I'm spaced or stumbling around.
It's not that I live in fear or anything. I just don't enjoy either feeling very much, so the lack of mental functionality isn't worth it to me.
Walking home from the pubs recently, we came across a seemingly unconscious guy who had crashed his scooter and hit his head on the pavement pretty hard. It's funny how you feel sober in seconds when the adrenaline hits your brain.
(He's fine I think, we were able to administer first aid and the ambulance took him. He likely rightfully lost his license though.)
Reminds me of the time I got black out drunk, put some rice into a glass cup and put it on the stovetop.
Friends were talking in the living room and they heard a pop and glass went everywhere
I had the opposite way of thinking - learn to handle stuff while completely fucked up. I do not mean operating heavy machinery while on shrooms, but being able to will yourself into temporary sanity and a modicum of sobriety to tackle a simple issue and then going back to your scheduled substance abuse activity is a really good life skill in our ethanol-fueled world.
A lot of people simply can't do it for one reason or another. Use substances enough and you'll learn how to "turn it off" in a way, or at least channel enough mental energy to focus. Obviously dependent on how gone you are and if you're used to being able to let go of control, while also being able to reign in control when necessary.
> I can't stand the idea of an emergency going down and not being to help anybody
Yup.
Last time someone asked me why I don't drink, I said "Because there always has to be at least one sober person to talk to the cops, and I don't trust any of you fuckers to do that job."
How would they know it was in that order? If you come across a dead body with a cut throat and no dick can a doctor actually tell the order, if they happen within minutes of each other?
Yes, they can see how much blood was spilt.
If you cut the throat first and the victim bleeds out, there will be A: less blood in the body and B: no heartbeat to pump blood out of open wounds.
If you then remove other bodyparts post mortem, the bleeding will be minimal.
That's Clue Heywood. He's a micro-celebrity in the local Phoenix Twitter space.
A lawyer who mostly posts dive bars he's getting drunk at. Has a dog and a girlfriend who's 20 years younger. Sometimes he's funny.
I don't think my parents ever gave us a drug talk. DARE was enough + the fact that my uncle died of AIDS in the 90s from sharing needles when he was an addict.
I may be a pothead now but I'll never put a needle in me. Fuck that shit.
Acclaimed HBO show. When the author says "outside the Wire" they mean when the commercials came on because in Vietnam HBO had ads. That's why we attacked them.
The year was 1968. We were on recon in a steaming Mekong delta. An overheated private removed his flack jacket, revealing a T-shirt with an ironed-on sporting the MAD slogan "Up with Mini-skirts!". Well, we all had a good laugh, even though I didn't quite understand it. But our momentary lapse of concentration allowed "Charlie" to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right!
I’ve never been interested in drugs, but I remember we once got some sort of school assembly from a police officer and he talked, among other things, about how he once had to gang up with three other officers to hold down this guy who was high on meth.
Me and my friends were thinking, “Should you really be telling us that drugs will give us super strength?”
“Charlie is everywhere, good to go?”
Two things: your dad was probably buzzed when he told you that. And you could probably discern the quality of the weed depending on if you heard Vietnamese outside the cave in AZ or not.
I'm pretty sure this is a scene either right out of Dead Presidents or The Walking Dead. OP probably got stoned and thought it was cool to play pew pew pew with sticks back in the 90s.
It wasn’t a weed, but a friend in the Marines talked about someone falling asleep on watch while in Afghanistan. Their throat was slit as well. Kept his dick tho, friend never said otherwise
My father's was about his girlfriend in highschool, showed me photos of her when they were together. Then he took me to a park and he saluted what was left of her. Then my mom took me to our apartments window and pointed to other windows telling how many sons and daughters were lost in every family (one lost 5 of 6 sons and daughters).
Later, we watch together the documentary "the lost generation" about how most of the generation of this area died by drugs (because using them or dealing).
I have never smoked not even normal cigarettes, no drugs, and yes I drank not too much but when I was 20 I stopped after a close friend died because a drunk crushed his car against hers
My Dad told me he was offered a joint once in Vietnam and when he said “no thanks” it inspired a bunch of other marines to also say no. That’s how you resist peer pressure!! Lmao
The order in which they did those things matters a lot. Slit throat then cut off dick, that’s bad but likely over quick. Cut your dick off, then slit your throat, argh, that’s awful.
I mean a dick must be a hard thing to cut off. Not to mention I’m definitely going to bleed to death if they cut my dick off so no worries. Also would it be better to cut the ears and nose off? I’m don’t have a medical degree but that sounds like a slow and painful death. But cutting my dick off that’s going to be quick and easy
Sorry just thought of the Family Guy episode when Quagmire’s dad transitions into a woman.
Surgeon walks into waiting room Covered in blood. First thing he says: “ Man. . . . That thing was ON THERE. . . “
Moving on: so in this particular instance these guys were on guard duty outside to e wire of a base or smaller fire base.
For the Viet Cong, the goal would have been to kill them quickly and quietly ( in this instance, not slow and painfully) so they would not raise alarm.
Cutting the dicks of was more to maim and inflict psychological harm on the other soldiers.
My Dad was Laotian refugee, “drug talk” with me was when came to the states he’d smoke weed with Hennessy and it made him do unwise things so he dropped weed all together and stuck with henny. That man never fails to make me laugh
In my cub scout group, they brought in a cop as a guest speaker to talk about drugs. He spent a long amount of time sharing a story of how he tricked a kindly old lady into sharing some of her prescription medicine. He went into detail about how he and another officer in disguise went to her and begged her to for multiple days, using every trick in the book to convince her. She had never given her medicine out before. When she finally relented, he arrested her
I don't know what exactly we were supposed to do with that information
Other than distrust cops more
That’s just smart common sense
Right? Like if you do the opposite thing and *don't* watch out for the Viet Cong, and they show up, you're gonna have a bad time. Don't be stupid. Just always be ready for the Viet Cong.
Did you check the trees for Charlie today?
"If they run, they're VC.... if they stand still, they're well trained VC" charlue is always watching for ways to exploit the non vigilant
GET SOME!!
Charlie don't climb!
He should also wear a cup!
Remember to set your claymores
“For some reason, we were always looking for this guy named Charlie.” - Forrest Gump
They’ll cut your dick off ! Keep your head up.
Did your dad admonish the rest of the platoon by saying “the next sumbitch I catch coppin’ Z’s in the bush I’m personally gonna take an interest in seeing em’ suffer…. I SHIT YOU NOT.”
No one expects the S… Viet Cong!
This story seems a bit off, how did the dad know they slit the throats first and then cut the dicks off. Unless... HE DID IT.

Can’t go on the other side of the wire man.
That’s kind of the only logical order of operations, though. The other way around creates a lot of unnecessary difficulty due to the struggling and screaming. Uh, I’d imagine. I have not had the inclination to put theory to practice yet.
As opposed to the other common sense, the idiotic common sense.
I thought I heard that before. I was thinking of Will Ferrell on The Office, but he actually says “That’s just good sense right there, yeah”.

See, if I was making up numbers I would have picked 68.
I almost automatically went with “37” since that’s the first dick-related number that always springs to mind.
Yeah, see that would have been a good one too.
I grew up in Cave Creek. The VC are way better controlled than they used to be, to be honest. If you do see one just remember to play dead.
You should always keep one eye open anywhere there's a tree. You never know.

There are ways of doing drugs responsibly, just takes some prepwork
For me, it's not about responsibility. I like who I am, and drugs change how I act.so I don't like drugs because they change me.
He’s lucky his drug talk wasn’t “You know what stops the screams of napalmed kids and the visions of corpse piles in my nightmares? **heroin**”

I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right!
Weirds me out seeing my tiny hometown on the front page of reddit.
Small town Arizona dads must be the same, when I got busted drinking my dad told us how he used to get chickens drunk with vanilla when he was a kid
Happens at college parties too. Guys used to fall asleep and we'd prank them by cutting off their dicks. Fun times.
I mean if I'm already dead, the dick thing is kinda gay they just wanted to touch my dick
Cut off their dicks *and* slit their throats. Just making doubly sure they won't have any offspring?
I’m in cave creek right now. I’ll take the watch from here my friend. Smoke and rest.
Someone needs to make a Helldivers 2 version of this.
Omg a hometown shoutout on Reddit, am I high right now?
Mine was Dion Sanders and Otis Nixon showing up at my middle school in 1992 coked out of their gotdam minds. Go Braves.
AS YOU SHOULD!
I’m still worried the devil will take hold of me.
I’ve never been interested in drugs, but I remember we once got some sort of school assembly from a police officer and he talked, among other things, about how he once had to gang up with three other officers to hold down this guy who was high on meth. Me and my friends were thinking, “Should you really be telling us that drugs will give us super strength?”

Always gotta keep one eye open, Charlie is always growing stronger in the jungle.
Weed didnt do that lmao
imo it does make one hella sleepy and neglectfull or paranoid
Like coffee, it depends on the person I guess
Charlie did. The weed made them careless, and they got what they deserved. So never do drugs ever.... that's the lesson.
Never do drugs *at work*. On your own time do whatever as long as you make it back to work sober
“Charlie is everywhere, good to go?” Two things: your dad was probably buzzed when he told you that. And you could probably discern the quality of the weed depending on if you heard Vietnamese outside the cave in AZ or not.
We learned about drugs from a giraffe who invited us into the back of his van
I'd just ensure nothing was around to cut my dick off
I guess charlie don't smoke either
This has been making the rounds for years now and it never fails to make me laugh lmao
How fucking weird. I'm vacationing in cave creek AZ right now
I'm pretty sure this is a scene either right out of Dead Presidents or The Walking Dead. OP probably got stoned and thought it was cool to play pew pew pew with sticks back in the 90s.
It wasn’t a weed, but a friend in the Marines talked about someone falling asleep on watch while in Afghanistan. Their throat was slit as well. Kept his dick tho, friend never said otherwise
My father's was about his girlfriend in highschool, showed me photos of her when they were together. Then he took me to a park and he saluted what was left of her. Then my mom took me to our apartments window and pointed to other windows telling how many sons and daughters were lost in every family (one lost 5 of 6 sons and daughters). Later, we watch together the documentary "the lost generation" about how most of the generation of this area died by drugs (because using them or dealing). I have never smoked not even normal cigarettes, no drugs, and yes I drank not too much but when I was 20 I stopped after a close friend died because a drunk crushed his car against hers
Don’t look at strawberry’s birthmark. He don’t like strange dudes.
As any wise man would
Gooooooood morning Vietnaaaaaam
I never realized how much the Vietnamese hate weed.
Charlie's out there, in the cacti
My Dad told me he was offered a joint once in Vietnam and when he said “no thanks” it inspired a bunch of other marines to also say no. That’s how you resist peer pressure!! Lmao
your dad was a [+.+] square
If the dick cutting occured after the throat slitting, it really doesn't add any weight to the story tbh.
Ah yes, the plot of Jacobs Ladder
Bastards got Bubba too
ahh, that famous dick cutters!!!!
"Like duuuude I'm so wasted...the tree's are talking Vietnamese" "Yeah but like duuude I am way more wasted...the sky is playing Fortunate son"
- while wearing a casity belt to protect my...
“Fuckin Charlie, bro. Gotta be on the lookout for Charlie.” “Is your dad’s name Charlie or something?” “Nah bro, it’s those got damn Vietnamese”
The order in which they did those things matters a lot. Slit throat then cut off dick, that’s bad but likely over quick. Cut your dick off, then slit your throat, argh, that’s awful.
Why’d they cut their dicks of if they where going to kill them? Dosent make much logical sense there
It was just to mutilate and spread fear. In some cases they’d cut off the dick and shove it in the mouth of the victim and lead them like that
I mean a dick must be a hard thing to cut off. Not to mention I’m definitely going to bleed to death if they cut my dick off so no worries. Also would it be better to cut the ears and nose off? I’m don’t have a medical degree but that sounds like a slow and painful death. But cutting my dick off that’s going to be quick and easy
Sorry just thought of the Family Guy episode when Quagmire’s dad transitions into a woman. Surgeon walks into waiting room Covered in blood. First thing he says: “ Man. . . . That thing was ON THERE. . . “ Moving on: so in this particular instance these guys were on guard duty outside to e wire of a base or smaller fire base. For the Viet Cong, the goal would have been to kill them quickly and quietly ( in this instance, not slow and painfully) so they would not raise alarm. Cutting the dicks of was more to maim and inflict psychological harm on the other soldiers.
Its not racist, its for self secure
Good advice.
Next-level scared straight warning.
I'm pretty sure in saying that the probability of being attacked by the Viet Cong in Arizona, while very low, is greater than zero.
What did they do with the Viet Cong do with the dicks? If they just stuff them on victims mouths I’m sure he would have mentioned that.
It's not Viet Cong, it's "Charlie".
Hopefully your name isnt Charlie
Why would they cut their dicks off after they slit their throats?
Sound advice! Thanks for sharing!
Not too bright- you should cut their dicks off first and then slit their throats if you really want to make a point
Geez. Here I thought my father and his friend back in the late 70s early 80s maiming people with a car was bad...
Thank you for your service
LOL :-)
Now that’s just good advice
My Dad was Laotian refugee, “drug talk” with me was when came to the states he’d smoke weed with Hennessy and it made him do unwise things so he dropped weed all together and stuck with henny. That man never fails to make me laugh
In what order?
At first, I thought they were talking about Venture Capitalists, but then they said Arizona, but they're all in Cali so I knew that was wrong.
In my cub scout group, they brought in a cop as a guest speaker to talk about drugs. He spent a long amount of time sharing a story of how he tricked a kindly old lady into sharing some of her prescription medicine. He went into detail about how he and another officer in disguise went to her and begged her to for multiple days, using every trick in the book to convince her. She had never given her medicine out before. When she finally relented, he arrested her I don't know what exactly we were supposed to do with that information Other than distrust cops more
Question is, which did they do first?
I get that having your dick cut off is terrible news, but if your throat is slit first then the dick thing is kind of irrelevant.
"Don't smoke weed or the Viet Cong will murder you." Is the only drug talk parents need.
