Curious how much $EV would you need to deal with small claims court?

Let's assume you aren't highly invested emotionally and aren't doing it out of principle.

My landlord is robbing me and I'm trying to decide if it is worth the hassle, never dealt with small claims before. I think I'm 80% a least to win, but I know it can be a pain to collect and I would have to spend a few hours driving and a day off the jerb.

Not sure how it works in other countries but in the uk the small claims procedure is pretty easy and cheap. It's geared around the one making the claim and usually the defendant will back down if you just fill in the form and send it to them to notify them of your intentions.

I did it with an old Landlord and usually the tenant is in the right and the landlord knows it, they just stall until you threaten small claims.

and now i feel incredibly old. what or who is (a) Molly?

It's slang for MDMA (which is about the same as XTC if you're really old )

"have you seen molly" is basicly asking the crowd "who took some xtc"

I don't care about people using drugs as long as they don't bother anyone with it (pop some few times a year as well), but someone as Madonna making such statements is such ridiculous in front of a young crowd.
03-26-2012 , 02:29 PM
oh okay, but she is young and hip and trendy, so it's cool imo.

lots of misconception about molly in general. i see all these kids taking it at raves/shows thinking its chill because its "the pure version of ex". it can be just as damaging as real ex its just not cut w/ meth/some other additive. its def fun, but ppl just take pills without even doing some research. if you're gonna do drugs, at least be educated on what youre taking.


re: small claims court - its just a time consuming process. and just takes a long time to resolve. but usually its inexpressive.

If its in pill form its most likely not molly. Molly is almost always in powder form that you rail. Not that that isnt cut with other stuff sometimes but easier to tell. Like skinny said its prob not much safer, just the high is more pure. And i think most of the damage from MDMA comes from either overdoing it or not taking care of yourself while youre on it.

Molly in pills is just powder in capsules.

I have no desire to try it even tho everyone is basically begging me to whenever we go out. I have a pretty good time on my own and if a few drinks aren't enough I'll take Addy if I have some but that's about as far as I care to go.
03-26-2012 , 05:45 PM
ahhhh. That would do it. Sounds like a lot of work though.

Yup, pretty much every drug is safe if you're not a big ****** about it.

SiQ have you experimented at all with drugs? Curious if you have a deeper reasoning or if you've never been curious and it's just not yo thang

Well, imo molly deserves more respect than the typical drug because of the long time it takes to build up your seretonin levels again and the intensity a comedown can have. I'm pretty confident that despite there not being major proof of this long term any longterm use more often than monthly will cause major damage.

But most people are smart enough to not use it so often luckily.

NJD - I'm hoping it resolves itself after he receives notice I filed. I told him I was filing and he only marginally increased his settlement offer, so I am not counting on it.

Might be different outside the US, but here in small claims the court will grant a judgement, but not enforce it. Apparently in can take forever to get paid - if they don't pay voluntarily you have to hire an agent to go after their property/bank accounts.

It's got me pissed off. I don't want to do something stressful and time consuming out of anger, so trying to look with a clear head at whether it is worth it for the $ at face value.

Is he knowingly screwing you out of money because he knows the process is so tenuous that most people ignore it and pay him? If so I think it's def worth your time

He most definitely is.

I have drank alcohol, smoked weed on a few occasions, and I've taken adderall a few times. Unless I had a serious drug problem with some drug that kills your memory I think those are all I've done.

I have bad memories of drug abuse from childhood which is probably a big reason.
Aside from that I mostly don't like the feeling of not feeling like myself / being in control - I know with most drugs thats more a matter of the amount you take than anything but I'm just really not all that interested in it, it's not like I'm morally against it or terrified something bad is going to happen - just not something I care for.
I mostly get offered Molly when I'm at a club where I'm already having a lot of fun - the guys I see who take molly seem to just become happier and more social - I get the same effect from adderall and I barely cared to use it when I had a bunch of them lying around.

Nothing wrong with not being interested in the more heavy drugs, the problem with most of those imo is that they have very steep curves when they become active, unlike the more accepted drugs like alcohol, weed or even tobacco.
A lot of people don't like that feeling of having a strong "come on" or whatever you call it, myself included, I just push myself to go through it from time to time .

I can confirm that if you do enough Ecstasy (or molly) you will start getting more and more depressed after each use as your serotonin takes longer to rebuild. Obviously everyone is going to have a different breaking point.

I do E or molly maybe once a year now and the depression isn't as bad as it used to be. So you can build back some of your general *bounce-back* ability over time.

For me any kind of speedy drug has a similar depression effect post-use nowadays, although it's definitely more pronounced after doing E.

Suzz i feel like its the opposite for me. The first couple times i did blow and x my body chemistry and mood was ****ed for like 4 days. Dont do it as much anymore (except the white here in Mexico) but the comedown seems to turnover a lot more quickly than the first couple times.

Theres prob a lot of psychological factors that go into that. I think when i was first doing it a lot of the depression in the comedown came from thinking what a dirtbag i was and not being used to it. I think people's psychological and physiological reactions to drugs is gonna vary.

i do drugs because i'm depressed and i'm depressed because i do drugs.
