What is \"the Maple\" (may be drug-related)?
 

I was told by my boss: "I heard from xyz that you can get me the Maple." After a few seconds of silence, he clarified: "The Chinese/Japanese drug?" I told him that he had the wrong guy, he insisted that I was the guy, and we left it at that. Good times.

The 30 seconds I spent researching this on google did not lead to an answer.

So I turn now to OOT - anyone have any idea what "the Maple" may refer to?

Sounds like opium to me.

MMMMMM, opium. Best drug ever.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with a tiger penis. Either that or bamboo syrup.

I have no idea what this is, and I consider myself quite up to speed on drug terminology.

Report him to HR.

Never tried it. Why is it the best drug ever?

Imagine being perfectly content to sit still for hours on end. Then, imagine that in addition to this tranquil contentment, your entire body is buzzing with this extremely comforting, warm fuzziness. Then, add to this an acute euphoria about life in general. Finally, twords the end, you drift off into a weird state somewhere between sleeping and being awake, except with full blown vivid dreams.

Damnit blarg, when I saw that you had were the last one to post in this thread I figured finally I will know the answer to the question, wtf?

Opium fits with "chinese drug", but is it leaves?

On a somewhat related note, it's been my lifelong dream to open up a 19th century-style opium den.

I'm not so concerned about turning him in - it's a large firm, he's in a different office, and I've never worked with the guy.

I was much more concerned with the comedy of the entire conversation, which would (possibly) be enhanced if I knew what it was he was looking for, as he's an older guy (and very successful), so opium = very amusing, some sort of herbal remedy = not so amusing.

and smells like wonderful potpori. Try it with a little bit of pot at the same time. You grow roots. Drink some absinthe with it and you get drukn and grow roots. All in all, opium is good. Just DONT get the fake ass red brick [censored]. Get the real black tar.

edit: I don't think opium is maple. Normally its just Opie from what I hear (as in "Hey man, is Opie Taylor is still chillin at your crib. Does he need a ride home?") or something along that line. I want to know what this is.

Yes. It's fantastic. Can get itchy though, possible nausea. Other than that it's freakin fabulous.
