None. Probably smoked weed 10 times total and not since the 90s.

Eyeball Kicks, Friday, 16 May 2014 11:21 (eleven years ago)

i guess this poll doesn't include concentrate smokers.

dylannn, Friday, 16 May 2014 11:24 (eleven years ago)

gd luck to any ilxors smoking an ounce plus every week

i wld say my average is somewhere between an eighth and a quarter a week

sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Friday, 16 May 2014 11:26 (eleven years ago)

About an eighth

Dreamland, Friday, 16 May 2014 11:38 (eleven years ago)

None, as it started making me paranoid and withdrawn in my early twenties. I try it again maybe once a year, always has the same effect. Kind of a shame, as I used to love it and objectively believe it to be a better drug than alcohol.

the joke should be over once the kid is eaten. (chap), Friday, 16 May 2014 13:40 (eleven years ago)

there's no option for "none, but i wish it was more b/c i have kids or not enough time or not enough friends to smoke with or buy from"

marcos, Friday, 16 May 2014 13:47 (eleven years ago)

btwn an eighth and a teenth depending.

now I'm the grandfather (dog latin), Friday, 16 May 2014 13:48 (eleven years ago)

closest to a gram if anything

no option for "sure if i'm around it but i couldn't possibly be bothered to get it on my own"

call all destroyer, Friday, 16 May 2014 13:50 (eleven years ago)

yea it just feels like a pain nowadays to try to track down a dealer. seems like a lot of work. i suppose i could make a couple phone calls and it could happen but at this point i'm kind of just holding out for legalization unless i'm around people who offer it to me.

we're visiting friends in colorado next weekend though so i'm pretty psyched about that.

marcos, Friday, 16 May 2014 13:55 (eleven years ago)

Gram or so?

That bud in the jpeg would last me about 10 days.

Yeah, this.

Tuomas, Friday, 16 May 2014 13:59 (eleven years ago)

one single skin a night if i'm on my own, two/three full joints when with palls.

online hardman, Friday, 16 May 2014 14:02 (eleven years ago)

1/8-1/4th i guess i've never really measured it. half+ seems like a lot though.

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 14:29 (eleven years ago)

About 1/8. Recently bought vapouriser tho so hopefully 0 soon.

i have no idea but guessing half...every night and i got a big problem!

Iago Galdston, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:15 (eleven years ago)

how is that possible?

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:18 (eleven years ago)

i voted!

surm, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:22 (eleven years ago)

i'm telling you, mordy, i don't know how much an ounce is so i could be way off. i don't smoke a huge amount each night, but i don't drink, stopped emotional eating, and quit smoking cigs three months ago. thus, i vape. like clockwork.

Iago Galdston, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:37 (eleven years ago)

and you're vaping too! there's no way you're vaping half an ounce a night. that's just insane.

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:39 (eleven years ago)

like standard vape bowl, you'd probably have to grind and refill at least 10+ times in an evening to use half an ounce (i am completely making these numbers up but they sound right to me)

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:40 (eleven years ago)

think u have to face the possibility that you are being outstoned here

Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Friday, 16 May 2014 15:42 (eleven years ago)

there are for sure ppl who smoke much more than me. i'm just surprised at that much per evening.

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:44 (eleven years ago)

oh no! i do two standard vape bowls a night! sorry, i was way off

Iago Galdston, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:45 (eleven years ago)

it's affecting my work though so eventually i have to cut back

getting a medical marijuana card has made getting regularly supplied with cheap weed such a easy thing it's unbelievable. I stop by the one run by a former neighbor maybe once a month, stock up and I'm in and out in like 15 minutes on my way home from work. it's nuts.

Οὖτις, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:07 (eleven years ago)

I average about 1.5 joints a day.. kinda too much. my soon to by wife is quitting her job next year so should probably cut that in half.. =(

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:09 (eleven years ago)

yea medical is coming to MA soon. laws passed but it hasn't been implemented. how easy is it to get a card? (asking those of you in states that already have an infrastructure.) assuming you don't have an illness that actually would be helped be MM, what does it take to get a card?

marcos, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:11 (eleven years ago)

i think it differs by state. i know NJ has much more rigid requirements for MM than CA. i'm not sure what the MA law looks like.

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:12 (eleven years ago)

i.e. what's the threshold? if you go in vaguely talking about migraines or anxiety or whatever, do you get asked lots of questions?

marcos, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:13 (eleven years ago)

about an eighth, tho on holidays that goes up.

can none of you thwarted smokers not grow yr own?

when i first started buying/smoking on the reg, my main drug buddy at the rec shop where we both worked would always help out one of our middle aged toker/customers to score small amounts of decent weed. He didn't do it for personal gain, but out of a sense of smoking-karmic-togetherness, and that's always stuck w/ me.

i am now that middle aged toker and eternally grateful to the young scamps who help me out w decent weed etc.

so cultivate the young, and do other ppl something kind, when you can

sʌxihɔːl (Ward Fowler), Friday, 16 May 2014 18:45 (eleven years ago)

I have legit issues (imo) but the doc I got my card from didn't ask too many questions, it took maybe an hour all told.

Οὖτις, Friday, 16 May 2014 18:51 (eleven years ago)

and of course the shop I go to now is run by a guy I used to live next door to, he doesn't even look at my card

Οὖτις, Friday, 16 May 2014 18:51 (eleven years ago)

currently sitting at the "none"/"pretend toke" level but I had been doing about 1/8th to 1/4 a week (smoking a bowl or two every day by myself, occasional rollups w/ friends) until I dropped it for New Year's

... now taking probably 3000 mg/day of "omega fatty acids", though

endzone selfie (bernard snowy), Friday, 16 May 2014 19:52 (eleven years ago)

Iago: a half-ounce is like $150-300 of weed (depending on quality), there is no way you're smoking that on yr own in a night unless you're rolling fat blunts and hotboxing the basement

endzone selfie (bernard snowy), Friday, 16 May 2014 19:58 (eleven years ago)

none right now, waiting for the day they legalize it in TX

nitro-burning funny car (Moodles), Friday, 16 May 2014 20:04 (eleven years ago)

Hey Bernard, thanks for the info. I'm going to ask the dude next time what the weight or whatever is of what I'm buying. I get like 400 bucks worth every couple weeks so it sounds like I may be doing 1/2 ounce a week? I do a phone service--I text, they call me when they are nearing my corner, I get in their car and do the transaction.

Iago Galdston, Friday, 16 May 2014 20:07 (eleven years ago)

about a bluntworth of an ounce i bought 20 days ago.
at this rate of daily moderate smoking, about a half a week.
also depends on the weed.

marcos, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 16:10 (eleven years ago)

Remain unconvinced that weed is any good once you hit 30. I diligently try because of the benefits to creativity, abstract thought, and engagement with books, video games, and especially music. 50% of time I just get vaguely confused and hungry. 25% of time I get uncomfortable, anxious, or "feel old" and the remaining 25% actually have the effect I remember from my early twenties.

fields of salmon, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 21:50 (eleven years ago)

please don't say that. i turn 30 in 8 days.

Mordy, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 21:52 (eleven years ago)

In 8 days weed turns into Alzheimer's.

fields of salmon, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 21:57 (eleven years ago)

About to turn 40, I buy a half every 9 months or so which works out to maybe half a gram per week. Basically I take one hit before I walk the dog or watch my hour of episodic television every day and I'm good. I never bothered with a medical card cause it was easy enough to find friends of friends in Seattle or Portland which I visit pretty regularly. Shit's cheap and abundant. Stores here in WA hopefully open soon so even that minor hassle will be gone.

I quit for six weeks for the first time in years to see what that was like and realize weed totally eliminates a couple weird anxieties and causes no problems for me; my wife can't wait for me to start again and be less anxious and paranoid.

joygoat, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 23:41 (eleven years ago)

I can attest that, for me, over 40, strong weed has the potential to make for a night of "fuck...my life decisions, what shall I do about them" instead of "wow, 70s Bowie sounds terrific" a lot, but the chance of just soaring with great metal is high. I know a dude in his early 30s who also reports that the last couple times he smoked out, he just ended up in an obsessive-thought loop and it sucked, and he's turned it down since, because those obsessive-thought weed loops are rough when there's actual-life stuff running around in them

Now I Am Become Dracula (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 23:59 (eleven years ago)

My natural default is those sorts of negative life decision loops, weed seems to break them and make me think "stop wasting your time on that shit, did you ever think about how awesome ____ is? fuck yeah!"

joygoat, Thursday, 22 May 2014 00:07 (eleven years ago)

This has also gotten so much better since legalization as it eliminates that last anxiety related thing - like I can be kind of high, out walking the dog, and just get all chatty with my cop neighbor without the whole "oh shit he knows I'm stoned I'm going to jail thing" and just talk about motorcycles

joygoat, Thursday, 22 May 2014 00:11 (eleven years ago)

yeah for me I think it's about strains, last time I was in Amsterdam I was able to test one against another on successive nights and found one that was just right. when the shit's as strong as it is now it's more important to me to sort of know what I'm getting myself into

(•̪●) (carne asada), Thursday, 22 May 2014 01:07 (eleven years ago)

I can't smoke whatever quantity I buy fast enough that it doesn't become a nasty, dry, skaggy mess of stems and coughing. How can I make weed not turn to shit? I have tried keeping it in a ziplock inside a sealed mason jar.

fields of salmon, Thursday, 22 May 2014 01:47 (eleven years ago)

it should never go bad - it just get more dry (which theoretically makes it easier to burn surface space and smoke better i've heard). but you may want to sift out the stems.

Mordy, Thursday, 22 May 2014 02:01 (eleven years ago)

also if you're using a pipe, it could be that it has become too finely ground from drying out and you're inhaling some through the hole - which could account for some of the coughing. if that's the case i highly recommend upgrading to a vaporizer. there are some amazing portable ones out there.

two months pass...

hey any of you guys apply for life insurance?

marcos, Friday, 25 July 2014 19:38 (eleven years ago)

i rarely smoke. last time i did was two months ago in colorado. before that it was 5 years ago, before that probably 7 or 8 years ago. but a friend hooked me up with a quarter a couple weeks ago and i am eager to smoke it.

marcos, Friday, 25 July 2014 19:40 (eleven years ago)

i have a few questions:

1. i had my physical and gave blood/urine - is it okay to smoke weed now? or should i wait to hear whether i was approved? what are the chances of them having to come back and ask for an additional urine/blood sample?
2. if you do smoke weed and have life insurances, what did you tell them about your smoking? if you told them you smoke, did it affect your rate?
3. once you get approved, do you ever have to get tested again?

marcos, Friday, 25 July 2014 19:43 (eleven years ago)

I smoke a couple times a week but way less than any of the options on this poll...?

jaymc, Friday, 25 July 2014 19:47 (eleven years ago)

life ins are typically looking for meth/coke and such. weed doesn't figure into actuarial tables really.

Οὖτις, Friday, 25 July 2014 19:54 (eleven years ago)

I was tested initially years and years ago and saw the results (which is how I know they weren't looking for weed). never tested again.

Mordy, Friday, 25 July 2014 20:04 (eleven years ago)

they told me when I applied for life insurance that if I test positive for weed they'll give me a smoker rate. I laid off for two weeks and took something called sonnes #9 (or #7? Something like that) and it worked

Mordy, Friday, 25 July 2014 20:06 (eleven years ago)

mordy, did you have to fill out a questionnaire asking about weed & other drugs?

yea given how little i smoke and that my last bowl was two months ago, i feel like the test will come out clean. just wondering whether i should hold off on smoking until i'm approved or whether it's cool to just go ahead and smoke now that i already had the physical

marcos, Friday, 25 July 2014 20:11 (eleven years ago)

if they already gave you the test then what is there to worry about?

two weeks pass...

so it's been really interesting to smoke again! like a way different feeling than when i was in high school and college. it honestly doesn't feel like an escape anymore, it's more like tuning in closer into my life.

does anyone else feel a surge of clarity when they smoke? i feel lately like smoking gives me a view 10 feet above my life, where i'm able to get a meta-picture of everything going on that i am otherwise too busy with work, kids, routines, the daily grind, etc., to ever notice.

i feel like it's been a really healthy thing for me. like i've been procrastinating like fucking crazy at work this whole summer, but i've been too fearful and paralyzed and distracted to do much about it or even think much about it. then i smoked a little pot the other night and i'm hit with this powerful fucking clarity that tells me "MARCOS YOU NEED TO GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, YOU HAVE BEEN PROCRASTINATING LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER AND YOU ARE AT MAJOR RISK FOR FUCKING UP A LOT OF SHIT AT YOUR JOB. YOU ARE ALSO NOT TALKING TO ANYONE ABOUT IT AND YOU ARE FUCKING ISOLATING YOURSELF." over the next couple days afterward i am calling up my best friends and talking to my wife about everything and getting connected and finding support.

i also haven't done yoga in months, and while my body is feeling it i just can't find the time. then i smoke and i'm like "marcos you must do yoga right now, it will be so healthy for you."

smoking has motivated to make this big list of all the things that are stressing me out right now, like....i'm handling all nightime wakeups w/ my son b/c my wife's weaning him, my son is getting early intervention treatment for speech delays, we're trying to have a second child, one of my best friends is moving to california, i'm having this major rift with my sister, i have three major projects at work due at the end of august, i am planning three out-of-town trips over the next couple months, we're interviewing candidates for the director at my job, etc. i was not otherwise putting together this big picture but smoking has helped me be holistically aware of all this. lol it is not the escape i was really looking for! it has more been a reality check!

marcos, Thursday, 14 August 2014 15:31 (eleven years ago)

It sounds like you have a lot going on right now. You know what "they" would say. You're "self-medicating during a time of anxiety and stress. The clarity you feel from the high is actually the marijuana intensifying the anxiety you already feel." Or something like that.

Plausible, I guess. For the sake of argument, why would anyone self-medicate with something that produces these effects? It's far too uncomfortable an experience, at least for this thirtysomething.

fields of salmon, Thursday, 14 August 2014 17:10 (eleven years ago)

yeah, marijuana helps me think about things better sometimes. not always, though, it's a dice roll really. one session it's inner vision. another it's anxiety freak out. another i'm just laughing my ass off. etc. etc. i just finished vaping all mine, so i'm thinking of what to do with the leavins.

marcos, Monday, 16 March 2015 20:47 (ten years ago)

I think I will probably occasionally smoke for another few years, but I'm down to once every 2–4 months at this stage.

At this stage, there is nothing marijuana can do that alcohol can't, and I can say that having used both for extended periods of time (but not always concurrently).

I used to depend on marijuana for feelings of, well, insight, elevated conversations with friends, and a deep feeling of engagement with things around the house (music and video games, mostly). It seems like little of the overall depth and nuance that initially drew me to it over alcohol as a teenager is still possible. I think I've burned all those cells or whatever.

hey dylan, what's the weed scene like in Japan?

calstars, Saturday, 20 February 2016 14:02 (nine years ago)

i'm not really the one to ask. this is speaking from my limited experience and i hope someone can come along to correct me or at least know to take this for what it's worth: you can find it easily if you've ever gone hunting for weed in a new city and it looks like the weed i bought when i was in 8th grade, green brillo pad, all the life gone from it, or there's a much greater variety and quality in hashish. there's no "scene." i think 95% of all cannabis must be smoked in roppongi/shibuya/ueno, with some spillover to ski resorts and surf dudes. the social stigma is harsher than even the legal shit and to most people weed is DRUGS.

BUT! i've smoked some amazing weed in guangzhou and shanghai and ridiculous hash in hk, and someone else might tell you that those places are dry as fuck and expensive. so, maybe tokyo is different. but i think the social stigma thing is deeper than elsewhere in east asia. i'd rather be caught with an ounce in hong kong or shanghai than in tokyo, where the vibe really really puts me off even bothering.

dylannn, Saturday, 20 February 2016 15:10 (nine years ago)

Haven't there been a couple of high profile busts recently? Maybe not for mj, maybe the harder stuff.

calstars, Saturday, 20 February 2016 18:57 (nine years ago)

i see a story about a vietnamese guy in osaka who had 500 plants in his house. then his house caught on fire.

weed has to be way down the list on usage / sales. methamphetamine and other synthetic stimulants, much deeper market and better margins, produced in southeast asia and north asia (nk and liaoning), and a recent bust showed that shipments are coming in from mexico now (produced with chinese precursor chems). some baseball player just made the news getting caught with some amphetamines. amphetamines is a big category, could be anything from meth to synthetic marijuana is pretty serious, easy to buy, comes from right across the water. and also from right across the water, the old standards ketamine and mdma-- or whatever designer dissociatives and trippy stimulants?

dylannn, Saturday, 20 February 2016 19:28 (nine years ago)

could be anything from meth to some new invention from a chinese lab, i meant to say.

According to statistics compiled by the health ministry in February, 0.4 percent of the Japanese population aged between 15 and 64 years old have tried stimulants at least once in their life. In the United States, 5.1 percent of the population over the age of 12 has tried meth at least once. Meanwhile, 41.9 percent of Americans have tried marijuana at least once in their life, compared to 1.2 percent of the Japanese population.

flopson, Tuesday, 26 July 2016 01:20 (nine years ago)

if you saute in butter you can get the cbd (and I think the thc) to release and then make a tea w/that. comes on real slow though. won't get you as lifted as smoking but is pleasant. I don't vouch for this specific recipe but it's the template basically. the key is that heating the stuff in the butter is what makes it release. also where it says "spices like cinnamon or nutmeg," fuck that, use 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cardamom and 1/8 cinnamon and 1/8 nutmeg and a pinch of black pepper, do it up chai style

I need to figure out a source in Philly. Just finished months of testing to find out that what I (and literally everyone I know) had assumed was ADHD is just my severe anxiety creeping into every other area of my life. Weed has really helped in the past, but I've had to rely on the kindness of strangers, which is made more awkward since I apparently have a decently high tolerance for it. Gov. Wolf signed a MMJ bill this year but it won't start taking effect for another 12-18 months, and anxiety isn't one of the few conditions covered under the statute.

― Kiarostami bag (milo z

i was never really that into weed until about a year ago when i started using it for sleep. but i feel like i still don't have my vaporizer figured out??? i feel dumb but i'm getting stoned so i suppose i'm doing something right. even tho i'm a cigarette smoker i absolutely can't do smoke weed - my friend told me i'm inhaling it wrong, but idgi and i'm not sure if he's full of shit or not. when i started with the weed last year it was the first time in at least 12 yrs i think, and i accidentally took a massive bong hit and thought i was gonna die, my chest was on fire for fucking hours afterwards. but even my vaporizer makes me cough, sometimes a lot, so idk what i'm doing wrong. i wish i could just do edibles but 99% are super gross (i even tried some chocolate coated blueberries, swallowing them like pills, and the taste still came back to haunt me and make me gag) and the other 1% are really expensive.

I made a terrible edibles mistake with infused coconut oil - 1ml the first night no effect, 2.5ml the second night fell asleep too quickly to tell anything... 5ml the third night. Went to bed about an hour after taking it feeling a little high, woke up three hours later higher than I have ever been in my entire life. My vision was vibrating, I was shivering like I had a terrible fever, cotton mouth from hell. Luckily managed to down some water and pass back out but when I woke up I was still sort of high.

I turn chores in a drug-fueled multi-media experience too but it drives my gf crazy cuz it takes me forever to complete the simplest task, despite doing it with gusto. She has this video on her phone of me, eyes bloodshot, laptop precariously propped up on the window-sill above our sink, earphone cable taut, scrubbing a single glass dish for like 2 minutes

lately I've been rolling a lot of joints because the weather is pleasant & who tf wants to sit inside all day??? however last night I packed my homie's hookah, then proceeded to clear it with one big hoot and was like..... Oh yeah I forgot how nice & cost-effective this is! I don't particularly want to go back to the lifestyle of sitting on the couch & doing that all day, but it's fun to feel the shit already taking effect while you're still exhaling your first hit.

i have been smoking way more lately. kind of found the "danger" in just taking one or two hits at a time, it's just too easy and bc of that i've been smoking at times i normally wouldnt. one hit is just kind of a pleasant head change and is a nicer 'pick-me-up' than an espresso

F♯ A♯ (∞), Friday, 4 November 2016 21:33 (nine years ago)

i once came home from work at 5.30pm. my wife had a cookie and we shared it. i got so stoned within 45 minutes that i lay around in bed with the room spinning and complaining loudly to my wife, who was in the same boat, about how wretched i felt, both physically and psychologically (felt super anxious and depressed). i woke up at about 9pm and had to go pee, had a really sore head and couldn't balance properly and felt completely baked still. i ended up in bed all night and didn't feel normal until about 4am.

almost everyone i know has had a bad trip on edibles

F♯ A♯ (∞), Friday, 4 November 2016 21:36 (nine years ago)

but that's probably because they were beginners, not careful, and you just don't know how potent the edible is, because sometimes you can't mix it in well enough. so one part may have less than other parts

F♯ A♯ (∞), Friday, 4 November 2016 21:38 (nine years ago)

My experience with edibles from many years ago was that they made me feel immobilized.

Al Moon Faced Poon (Moodles), Friday, 4 November 2016 21:43 (nine years ago)

the piece of edible that i ate that gave me a bad trip was one fairly large bite. i smoke every day. i haven't tried any edibles since.

harold melvin and the bluetones (jim in vancouver), Friday, 4 November 2016 21:51 (nine years ago)

One bad edible exp (must have gotten a chunk w/ loads in it), never did it again. The distribution of the weed is too uneven, it doesn't work for me. Rolling an evenly distributed joint to smoke is a pleasure in itself, it just suits me way better.

haven't really messed with edibles all that much, but there is a fascinating menu of things available at the weed store down the street and I am tempted sometimes...

a friend of mine used to make a killer loaf of banana bread, one slice wasn't too strong at all, very mild and relaxing, just perfect for a night in listening to records and shootin the shit and eating fresh baked banana bread

hardcore dilettante, Saturday, 5 November 2016 04:10 (nine years ago)

i used to dabble with making butter for various uses and the effect wasalways just similar to hash buzz - a nice relaxing body buzz. last time i ate a edible it was something a friend had made that he said was VERY high octane. i heeded his words but wasn't too concerned and ate half a cookie and was COMPLETELY wrecked for the better part of a day. the whole night i just laid in bed unable to move. i was really thirsty and literally could not get up to get a glass of water. was still totally out of it for hours the next morning

.just passed my six year anniversary of daily weed smoking

the late great, Saturday, 4 February 2017 00:25 (eight years ago)

I started smoking again about 1 year ago, for the first time regularly since 2002. I've been smoking a few hits a week. I don't even know how much it is. My wife visits a friend to buy like an ounce or two of weed every few months, I guess? She makes some up into some coconut oil to share between us and her mother (who had breast cancer last year). The rest we just slooooooowly smoke.

Back when I was younger, and smoking every day, I never needed much more than a hit a day, but in order to stay connected to people who could connect me with weed, I felt pressure to smoke several bowls/joints/blunts/bongloads per day on a pretty regular basis, just in order to stay in weed. Maybe there was kind of a competitive jock aspect to it, I guess? I always ended up completely obliterated, which wasn't very happy or productive for me. That was the main reason why I just completely quit when I did.

Anyway, smoking some now and that's a lot better than not smoking at all.

how's life, Saturday, 4 February 2017 00:56 (eight years ago)

Not even that people were macho about it though. More like people were like "hey, you'll feel even better with the 8th bongload! Load more bongs!" And like a single bong hit would probably be good for me.

Should note that I can enjoy significantly higher highs via edibles vs. smoking, but I have no idea how to quantify that atm.

My wife and I had our first run-in with completely legal, politely delivered weed last week in California, and we were very pleased with the process and the results. Being high without being furtive or sneaky or worried is a novel sensation, and I must say that I could get used to it.

Not something I can make too much of a habit of, though (as I live in a rather less accommodating state). Vastly more fun than dealing with drug dealers.

I remember right after legalization in WA taking a hit before going out to walk the dog and I ran into my neighbor, who is a cop. There was sort of a crazy freedom there in that I stopped to talk to him as I suddenly didn't give a shit if I smelled like weed or not.

Week of Wonders (Ross), Sunday, 29 October 2017 19:08 (eight years ago)

I dunno if you're in Canada or not but the entire thing is a huge mess. As soon as the liberals came to power they just went "well now it's up to the provinces to implement legalization" and washed their hands of it.

I have this sneaking fear that we're going to wake up soon and find ourselves in a more punitive and repressive rather than less punitive and repressive country as a result of legalization. Sure, you won't go to jail for getting caught with a joint, but some province might decide to punt you into some sort of pseudo-medical "treatment and counselling" hamster wheel or subject to you an escalating series of unpayable fines as a result of some weed-adjacent infraction or other.

I wish they had just agreed on immediate nationwide decriminalization as a first step. The legalization route being concerned in Ontario and elsewhere is farcical and will do absolutely nothing to staunch the flow of black market weed.

That said the real impact that my friends in rural Colorado spoke about was less a bunch of tourist stoner bros and more the impact it had on ways of making a living in the local economy, so many people having to get involved with the industry in some kind of way because in some rural areas there aren't many other sources of income. lots of people grow and then send clandestine weed to other states like Nebraska

but really, who doesn't enjoy some drunk big guy threatening to pick you up and raise you above their heads in order to impress the roving horde of Wooers circled around him, it could be a big moment for everyone

Karl Malone, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 21:48 (eight years ago)

We had a few legal things delivered, almost as a lark, while in San Francisco in June. It "accidentally" got packed and traveled back to Virginia with us.

Two joints and two chocolate bars have lasted us, um, four months. There's actually still some of both left! With modern stuff it just doesn't take very much to provide a satisfactory excursion - after dinner, at a concert, on a day off, while playing music with friends. I have found myself much more relaxed, much more able to just enjoy, without getting all furtive and paranoid and whatnot.

Def. superior to the sketchy college using pattern, where you had to know somebody who knew somebody and you may have had to go to an unfamiliar part of town and hand money to people you didn't know and then you had to worry about the RA and the police and the non-chill roommate etc. etc. etc.

Also, I have always hated only having access to drugs when you're at a party and you need to be social, because I am way introverted and mostly just want to go home and curl up in my own blankie and have my own books and records and guitars and drinks and foods and preferred sexual partner. Doing drugs at parties just makes me tired and cranky.

I haven't been smoking (actually, vaping) much, it's been hard to time given how little free time I have these days - I actually can't sleep well unless I've passed back into pretty much sober which means I have to either smoke early and have everything that I needed to get done done or I have to stay up extra late.

louise ck (milo z), Tuesday, 31 October 2017 21:57 (eight years ago)

was playing poker at a buddy's place the other night and he had a vape pen except it was a dabbing pen with shatter in it. i couldn't bring myself to try it because i was trying to win money (and i did, $15 canadian, woo) but i was certainly curious.

xp ime at about a quarter of that rate one starts running up one's tolerance w/o any added "benefit"

the late great, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 22:43 (eight years ago)

yeah. the problem is pretty much that i'm not working as much these days and just have tons of time at home where all i wanna do is get stoned and listen to records. not the worst, but it's not a cheap habit.

ian, Tuesday, 31 October 2017 23:02 (eight years ago)

i'm down to about a hit or two a night / 5 or 6 nights of the week

if i'm hanging w/ other folks it might be more

definitely there are diminishing returns after more than 3 hits ime. i try to maintain a low enough tolerance such that taking one hit will usually be sufficient for a nice head change

marcos, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 13:28 (eight years ago)

btw what is "shatter?" this new world of oils, tinctures, concentrates and tbh commercially-made edibles is quite foreign to me

marcos, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 13:29 (eight years ago)

shatter is just a form of extract that has gone through a lot of filtration to get it down to the purest form. It needs to be dabbed with a rig , approach with caution. I've only done it a few times , the last one was when i went to a friends house for a quick visit and ended up stuck on his couch for about 4 hours after taking one dab.

dabs usually involve a blowtorch and a glowing titanium 'nail', which I can't get past seeming like an incredibly bad idea

the actual buds that have today are super potent and have awesome flavors so i have no need for dabbing. Vape pens however are super convenient and discreet so i usually have one of those handy to supplement the bud.

i mostly get stuff from these dudes and it's insane

i haven't seen a roving horde of weedsmokers but i can't imagine it would be any more of an annoyance than the roving horde of drunk people who yell Woo

so super fucking annoying then?

Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 1 November 2017 16:30 (eight years ago)

haha yeah, but the unstated part of that was that i rarely see the drunk Woo people, and when i do it's because i'm in a part of town late at night with a lot of bar, or at a baseball game. so even though they are very annoying, it ends up being a tiny bit of life, easily avoided. and i'm guessing that the coughing weedbros are even rarer of a sight. like maybe avoid pearl street in boulder and watch out if you're walking around the 420 Den in denver but other than that...

however, i am willing to be convinced of the existence of hordes of street prowling weedbros! basically i'm saying can i be shown pics of weirdos who might love...i can't finish this. i try to join in on pun culture in ILX but i can't. 420 forever.

Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 1 November 2017 16:50 (eight years ago)

I don't know what ums is envisioning, but my experience in legal states is not roaming packs of weedbros, but people stepping out of a bar to have a drag or two on a pen, or passing a small pipe for a minute before a show, or getting really wild by puffing a joint before getting on the bus after work.

I swear I saw/smelled LESS public weed smoking after it was legalized in WA than before. But I smelled unsmoked weed a lot more, like the guy in line in front of you at the grocery store who obviously had an incredibly smelly bud in his jacket. I moved to a medical-only state this summer and see much more casual public smoking here for sure.

My (university) students also all seemed to stop wearing obvious weed-related clothing - it wasn't edgy to have a shirt that with a pot leaf or the word DAB on it anymore, so it was like wearing a shirt that said BEER on it and expecting everyone to be stoked about it.

There were a ton more people who used it and were open about it though, like older people who hadn't smoked in years, or some of my wife's grad students who were super nerds and had never used it before but would casually mention how they all had edibles and a bottle of wine and watched a movie over the weekend.

joygoat, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 19:33 (eight years ago)

like older people who hadn't smoked in years,

i respect this crowd and i also feel so sorry for them. they wanted to smoke, obviously, but didn't want to deal with the hassle of finding it and/or didn't want to break the law. i understand this lawful approach but think about how many really boring saturday nights could have been at least slightly mitigated

i'm not sure if Bhutan is still trying to measure Gross National Happiness, but you know if they legalized it the GNH would jump up

In the Kingdom of Bhutan, cannabis is so prolific that it is seen as a pest, and is fed to pigs rather than being used by humans for fibre or intoxicant purposes. Bhutan lacks a close connection with the plant. However, there is some evidence of traditional use, and use in modern times is increasing.

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 19:43 (eight years ago)

people of bhutan, do what you think is best, but...you should consider establishing a close connection with this plant

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 19:49 (eight years ago)

I had a stamp of Bhutan once when I was young. It was my prize possession, along with a stamp of Brunei. Bhutan with they happiness index, Brunei with its sultan as richest person in the world. Before Bill Gates ran away with that.

Pigs being high has got to count for something though, right? That could lead to happiness.

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 19:53 (eight years ago)

Unfortunately the pigs all started buying Phish records.

From a retail store without a prescription?

Moodles, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 22:04 (eight years ago)

In June we still needed a "medical card," which could be arranged online for a trifling fee from a very cooperative "doctor" in less than an hour.

As I understand it, that step won't be necessary starting in January.

Careful with that Ax, Emanuel (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 1 November 2017 22:37 (eight years ago)

stores will be legal, not sure how many will be ready to go on the 1st of January

(in LA, it's hard to go too many blocks without seeing a sign for a weed doctor: walk in, pay c.$30, get prescription valid for 1 year. some will require proof of in-state address.)

And I'd say two bags of 25 10mg candies a week. Some weeks none also.
