Posted by What Constitutes a “Jeffery” and How Can It Be Crafted? Before delving into the components of Jeffery, it is imperative to emphasize that attempting this concoction at home is strongly discouraged for various reasons. Primarily, Jeffery is a cocktail of drugs, many of which are highly addictive and possess the potential to cause severe harm to the body. Furthermore, a significant concern lies in the fact that a majority of the substances comprising this “joint” fall under the Schedule I classification, meaning legal ramifications could ensue if one is apprehended with such materials.
Nevertheless, purely for the sake of amusement, we shall reveal the ingredients as articulated by Aldous Snow (Russel Brand) in “Get Him to the Greek,” immediately following Jonah Hill’s character indulging in a few puffs from a Jeffery.
Without further ado, allow me to introduce: The Jeffery.
Cannabis (Marijuana)
The primary and most prominent component in a Jeffery is, without a doubt, marijuana. Typically utilized as the foundation for laced joints, cannabis facilitates a slow and controlled burn, allowing the active ingredients to be released gradually while inducing a relaxing effect. It is essential to note that marijuana strains vary in potency, and we recommend checking the potency in our marijuana strain guide.
Opium
Following that, opium is introduced into the mix. Opium elicits deep sensations, and profound relaxation, and encourages contemplative thinking. Poets and writers of the early 1900s often turned to opium for inspiration. Opium can be incorporated either by rolling up strands or by coating the paper to achieve the desired effect.
Heroin
Subsequently, a small amount of heroin is added. While smoking heroin is not as potent as injecting it, it still produces a notable high. In the Jeffery mixture, heroin acts as a catalyst, providing an otherworldly experience often referred to as the “space cowboy” effect.
Crunched up Ecstasy
Moving on to induce a body high, crushed ecstasy pills are incorporated into the mix. This addition is intended to create a sense of unity with one’s surroundings. It is suggested that this element be included to counterbalance the effects of other substances in the list.
Clorox
The inclusion of Clorox in the mix is puzzling. While Aldous Snow mentions its presence, it is advisable to exercise caution. The potential “high” offered by Clorox is overshadowed by the associated risks and side effects. Personal discretion is advised, and it may be preferable to omit this component.
Methadone
To enhance the overall experience, methadone is introduced. Jonah Hill’s character experiences rapid heart palpitations due to the drug’s quick absorption into the system. Methadone intensifies the effects of all other substances present in the mixture.
Subutex
Typically used for drug withdrawal, Subutex is included, perhaps in Aldous Snow’s altered reasoning, to mitigate the aftereffects of smoking a Jeffery. The various substances in the mixture have the potential to create dependency from the first use.
Morphine
The next addition is morphine, aimed at elevating the experience to another level. A small amount of morphine is included in the Jeffery to help manage the complex combination of substances coursing through the veins.
Peyote
Introducing visual elements, peyote or mescaline is incorporated for its unique visual trip. While traditionally seen as a spiritual gateway, adding this element provides visual enhancements to the Jeffery, although it may not align with traditional shamanic practices.
PCP
Aldous concludes the ingredient list by mentioning PCP, or angel dust. This substance inhibits pain receptors in the brain, allowing individuals to perform extraordinary feats. The inclusion of PCP is likely responsible for Jonah Hill’s character’s intense state of rage in the car.
In summary, Jeffery’s ingredient list encompasses a diverse range of substances.
Conclusion
Engaging with substances doesn’t inherently carry negative connotations; rather, it is the underlying intention that plays a pivotal role. Much like a hammer, whose utility depends on the user’s intent, drugs function as tools, and employing unfamiliar tools can pose risks—akin to concurrently operating a chainsaw and a nail gun, a potentially hazardous endeavor. Exercise caution in such instances.
