how much weed u smoke (week)

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

i guess this poll doesn't include concentrate smokers.

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

About an eighth

mm that pink og kush

None, as it started making me paranoid and withdrawn in my early twenties.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.

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"

btwn an eighth and a teenth depending.

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"

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.

Gram or so?

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

looks like a jar of pickles behind that bud

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

Yeah, this.

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

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

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

oh yeah, vape life!

zero. ever. in my life.

but thinking about vacationing in colorado this year. cuz why not?

is that u

somebody complained about this on the "rolling cannabis politics thread" but it's been posted on nearly every pot thread with great fanfare so i feel like this thread needs to have it too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVOZeT2W6Bo

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

how is that possible?

i voted!

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.

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

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)

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

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

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

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

where is "all of it" option

Yeah "what's available" option again

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"

^^^

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.

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.. =(

and xp

yes the trip to the weed store followed by the bodega that sells all manner of craft beers is the happiest errands I will run in my life

i'm so jelly

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?

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.

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?

about an eighth, tho on holidays that goes up.

often none, quite a lot this week

Have never smoked weed.

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"

^

Grown-ass people need a place to buy weed.

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

if you go in vaguely talking about migraines or anxiety or whatever, do you get asked lots of questions?

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Is the weed noticeably better in California? I wonder where mine in Brooklyn comes from!

jfc and my wife thinks i spend a lot on records...

can none of you thwarted smokers not grow yr own?

^^ started doing this, will never go back

^ would love to do this. landlord and wife might be crazy about it though.

might NOT be crazy about it.

lol, i.e. it's not the case that my wife and landlord would be so psyched to see me grow plants that i would have none left for myself

if I had a backyard I would grow it but indoor growing = gtfo such a hassle

voted eighth but it's prob more like fourth

jfc and my wife thinks i spend a lot on records...

I've got a problem, yes

don't have a card but i'm a shoo-in for one cuz crohn's. yes: i lack the ambition to get a medical marijuana card.

ounce
ounce+

"if i don't smoke an eighth a day i might end up a mental patient"

anyone know people who got rejected when requesting a MM card?

fwiw i've found psych meds for anxiety work better, are safer, and cost less than weed

I've got a problem, yes

in case it wasn't clear, that wasn't meant to dig at you, just one of things that crosses my mind whenever my wife starts to give the side-eye when i walk in with another reckless bag and in my head i'm all, "you have no idea how much more expensive my hobbies could be"

Oh no! I didn't think that, came out wrong on my part.

An eighth every three months.

a gram of kind bud

gram or so

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

anyone know people who got rejected when requesting a MM card?

i've heard maybe two dozen stories of going to the weed doctor in washington, and no, not once

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ilx: mostly uncool

i am going to be searching for the cool minority when i move to nyc. i want to call a # and have the high maintenance guy show up

i'll make sure to say "i'm searching for a cool minority" when i move into my new "up and coming" neighborhood with the moving van and i'm walking a dog, everyone will love what i bring to the table

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtAxLs7nmiU

more ilxors on psych meds than smoke weed, explains a lot

some of us are on both

^^^ the cool minority

I did not fit into this poll. If I happen to have it then a lot (every night or a bunch of times on the weekend days) but these days that happens like 3x a year so most weeks it's none.

That might not have made sense.

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.

missed voting on this, about an 8th, maybe a lil less. i'd say an 8th every ten days is about right.

xp to enbb yea there was definitely a missing option for a lot of us who very rarely smoke but still do occassionally

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.

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

In 8 days weed turns into Alzheimer's.

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.

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

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!"

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

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

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

i can't imagine how nice this must be

Wife and going through 1\4 lately. Might be time for a tolerance break but fuck that, right?

It's just the w33d these days is on some amazing space bud status that looks, smells and taste so amazing. A lot of times I'm already high as shit but i still want to make love to the sweet smoke

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.

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.

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.

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

48 y.o. here. I have similar issues with "gah, my life decisions suck" loops so tolerance breaks are a must.

someone make me brownies pls

obv my strong anti-w33d thing here is partly an act (right?), but really it's never done much of anything for me. I ruined my throat for a week sucking too hard on my pal's bong (yes that is the noun i mean) about 5 years ago and swore off all but the most occasional hits.

Hip Cat.

hey any of you guys apply for life insurance?

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.

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?

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

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

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.

smoking on the beach atm

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, 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

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

I may have filled a questionnaire but I don't remember

yea i think i'm just being paranoid. e.g. "what if they need another sample" etc etc.

you must be high already

lol

weed doesn't figure into actuarial tables really.

No, but this sentence is killing me.

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!

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.

your experience has been very much what i would like a return to cannabis to be for me but i am still pretty wary.

I'm right there with you Marcos. Got a lot of similar stuff on my plate and 'small' as I call it helps.

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."

ha, i am totally willing to admit that this may actually be what's going on.

I'M HIGH ALL THE TIME

i thought you said you hate weed?

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."

"and why would you want to feel that? let me sell you some valium."

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.

bake em

if you're having anxiety freak outs you're not smoking enough ;)

yea the anxiety freak outs just got a little worse when my wife said i'm smoking too much and she doesn't like having it in the ouse :(

R U HI DID I JUST BLOW UR MIND

Doing pretty well for myself in just second-hand smoke the last few months

Got a printed receipt for the first time ever yesterday which was kind of mind blowing

i ate an edible granola bar at noon and it is still affecting me 11 hours later

yeah the one time i did a brownie it was an all day high, spent the day doing laundry and cleaning shit around the house.

Yes cleaning and organizing. Both
Physical and digital if you're so inclined. Infinite Jest has long passages on this.

looool i have barely made a dent into this quarter i bought in august 2014

i'm quitting btw

i smoke about twice a month or so, i am definitely lightweight, like a little chillum will do just fine, but still this little jar just seems to last forever

why are you quitting crut

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.

it's been a month since i've smoked :(

babies taking over my life

i am starting to feel a little embarrassed by how long this quarter ounce has lasted me, this jar has been in my hutch since last august

smoked 1/2 a joint a month ago. the other half is waiting for a time when I'm not too exhausted after both kids go to bed to enjoy it. welcome to this world marcos you're going to save a lot of money

thanks jclc

also i did not see that i basically made the same most back in march

hey I just had a librarian buddy who was in the bay area for *three weeks* for some future of library tech conference. sounded like a party.

the heat + humidity this summer has really been fucking my stomach up to an unusual degree so i've dramatically increased my weed intake and now i'm blowing through my supply :(

okay I think I just need to dedicate a night this weekend to smoking

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

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.

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

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?

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

it feels like the country least compatible with casual marijuana use.

Being in Tokyo drunk makes perfect sense. Not sure I could say the same for being stoned though.

shrooms sounds like the way to go there

US clearly the best country for marijuana these days

every night

December-January I was smoking a lot (for me), every couple of nights, I've slowed down a little since then, now prob back at every week or two

i sent dylann an ilxmail when i was in tokyo and trying to score weed lol

we found some via asking bouncers around shinjuku/kabukichou, but it was crazy expensive (he started out asking 20000 yen for a gram, probably could have bargained him down but still) and looked liked shit so we turned it down. none of the japanese people we met and hung out with smoked or knew where to get any and many of them were pretty shocked, 'you mean DRUGS?!'

what's Australia & New Zealand like for weed? I didn't smoke when I was in either place a while back

weed in chile was bad, def dried hard as a brick brown shit

I feel like Oz used to (80s) have a rep for good buds but what I've had down there was p. weak.

sorry man i never check my email connected to ilx. but yeah no scene, even in places you'd expect a scene, like there's a very church youth group feeling even in settings where you'd expect, you know, disrespect for the law and debauchery? + not very good weed.

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.

Kiwi buds were powerful when I was there

currently suffering under a spate of mild tonsilitis and don't think i should smoke but i wanna get high before bed... is there a quick way to do that? nomral methods of ingesting (brownies) would take too long... tea?

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

Honey slides maybe?

i used a decarboxilator this weekend on a bunch of plant material and then ate about a quarter of a teaspoon raw (basically just threw it into my mouth and swallowed it with some water and holy shit i was a skeptic but a few hours later i was super blazed

cheers matey

dylan - where are you these days and how much are you partaking of?

simultaneously anxious to get hooked up in a new city and embarrassed at this anxiety

Don't be embarrassed. It's great fun to get hooked up and explore. What city?

chicago. my partner and i moved here a month ago and know basically nobody so far. eventually it will come, still have to get used to the new way of things

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.

tokyo, arakawa ward, smoking nothing.

Have seriously considered looking at the darknet for CBD oil for anxiety. It would probably be easier to just pack it up and move to a small town in Colorado or something.

I have friends who've used the darknet to order all KINDS of shit but they're kind of hyper plugged in dudes. they pay with bitcoin.

weed hookups way more available since I moved to Cleveland and have friends & family in the area, no more strict rationing of a little jar over the course of two years

Everyone else's shit always smells better and more wild than mine

TMI

Roughly a quart per week here. Maybe I'll cut down at some point?

i thought i'd be smoking a little more now that i moved to a city w/ a reliable weed hookup and more family/friends to smoke with, but my frequency hasn't changed much. it still is hard to find time to smoke during busy weekdays with work, kids to put to bed, tiredness, etc

old weed has its own charm. i think the most interesting & unique experiences i had smoking involved mixing together scraps of old in with the new & throwing mids and headies into the same bowl.

With old weed, some of the THC has likely converted to CBN making for a more chill high.

When it's legal in more places, you're totally going to have pot shops selling weed aged in a wine barrel or something.

With old weed, some of the THC has likely converted to CBN making for a more chill high.

oh word? that's good news, I got an extended work spot coming up and was debating whether to re-up but I'm like "I got a whole bunch of old weed around along with more recent stuff" and I'm a chill high > heavy mind trip dude anyway

i think social smoking is still my favorite but lately i've been enjoying it when i have unfun tasks to do.... i'm so tired at the end of the day and i don't feel like doing much but i had to mop the hardwood floors the other night and smoking a little bit + some music made it enjoyable. same for cooking last night, we have this tiny horrible dark kitchen in our current rental and i hate cooking in it but last night was pretty fun. sometimes i think i am more responsible when i'm high, i cleaned the whole kitchen after i cooked and also did some laundry and i think otherwise i would've said fuck it

this is so otm - some weed + music or tv and i can fold laundry / do dishes for as long as it takes

and also the part about doing more than you'd normally do bc you're digging listening to the music or want to finish yr show so you might as well straighten up everything else while you're at it

it had the opposite effect for me. i'd always think "if i smoke up so i'll enjoy this task more" but then i'd just become useless. i agree that music makes chores way easier though.

it had the opposite effect for me. i'd always think "if i smoke up so i'll enjoy this task more" but then i'd just become useless.

same generally tho i still trick myself

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

there is only one drug that gets me to complete menial household chores above and beyond the call of duty, and that drug is podcasts

being high while working is a waste of weed imo. but i understand y'all busy

j0rdan what podcasts do u like

"waste of weed" weed is plentiful it cannot be wasted

Still trying to find a nice place with the vaporizer between feeling almost nothing and being too high to do anything. I want to be the stoned equivalent of 2-3 glasses of wine.

I used to work at a burger joint where a max of 2 people worked at a time, if you were working solo (which was most shifts other than the Friday Saturday night shifts that went until 3 am) you'd have to take orders, grill, dress, serve, operate cash all by yourself. It was such stressful work, such an acrobatic balancing act with drunk hungry people yelling at you, yet we would get *so* high, every shift, no matter what. Same when I worked in a call centre

j0rdan what podcasts do u like

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 find most baked goods to be gross but the hard candies I've tried have been fine and fairly cheap in packs of 10.

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'm staying off the skunk until the weekends. Figure it's better mentally and physically in the long term. Besides the longer I wait between sessions the more I enjoy it.

I was shivering like I had a terrible fever,

this happened to me with indica capsules, incl middle of the night

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 miss joints, i prob haven't smoked a joint in 10 years. i bought some rolling papers a while ago but i'm not good at rolling joints.

chillums are my vessels of choice, they are small and discreet and easy to measure inhales

i feel like i still don't have my vaporizer figured out???

yea me too, i don't have one but i've used them a number of times w/ friends/family who have them and i can never figure it out, i pull and pull and get nothing and other times i pull and i go into a crazy coughing fit and feel so stoned

bongs for me i just end up taking monster hits and get knocked over, i can't figure them out

I had a magic flight launch box for awhile and it just didn't do it for me at all. Couldn't get enough pull from the thing.

lol

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

i just 6 _\|/_ w33d cookies _\|/_ and i'm going to eat them all today. think that'll be a fun way to end my vacation.

Can we get a status update

larry's comatose on the kitchen floor

at least, I know I'd be if I were in his shoes

i would be in my bed wailing

this has to be a case of built-up tolerance

generally my rule is Lesh is more

i'm three in and feeling alright. it's good to take a break from the grind every now and then

xp in general i agree, but i'm bored and in the mood to see where this goes. i also don't want them hanging around the apartment, so i figured i'd just do them all in one go. might as well while i can since i clearly don't have anything better to do with my time right now.

i've never tried edibles but they sound really fun

feel like i'd need a weekend away from the kids though

it's easy to overdo it on those things

careful dude!

i've been really stoned before from passing around bowl after bowl w/ friends during a late night but even that has never made me, like, incapacitated. what does it feel like to overdo it on edibles?

like a bad trip

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

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

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

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.

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.

these are going pretty strong. i'm feeling like this right now:

http://media.giphy.com/media/Lj6fSQzEnVd1C/giphy.gif

Agree. A clandestine bowl on a side street is more my style.

I ate a cookie at a Black Sabbath concert about 10 years ago. More of an overall body effect, similar to shrooms, which I'm also not a fan of.

godspeed, traveller xp

I'd be enjoying said bowl at the moment but have been laid up with the flu for the past week. Sucks...

First night of my sickness I had a small hit in the bathroom and it just made things way worse

larry feeling are how you

was time last the not fun and times i edibles three tried

wtahevs

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

Doesn't hat turn into a vicious circle, like the weed give you munchies so you have some banana bread so you get the munchies ... til you die

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

Doesn't that turn into a vicious circle, like the weed give you munchies so you have some banana bread so you get the munchies ... til you die

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGtf9QfITQw

Gave a friend a bottle of tincture I made - one-quarter dropper is just right, apparently. Thinking about making it into hard candy, but I have to get molds and stuff.

I like making edibles but it's still too unpredictable for me. I need people to pawn them off on.

Too many edibles moving into psychedelic territory is the worst of all worlds - so I have a mushroom-like experience plus the cotton mouth from hell? No thanks.

every night nowadays :/

one or two hits works well even if i'm doing it every night. i feel like it has become a stabilizing anxiety med for me

i'm quitting for a month bc reasons :/

im quitting for a while because my anxiety has been ultra bad - starting to have bad physical symptoms of it - and want to rule out if weed is contributing

^^^ essentially that

yea there are some times when i smoke and i feel v anxious thinking about shit. reading political news is not something that is fun when i'm high. it keeps me up at night

Not Trump again.

lately ive been getting too inside my head after smoking instead of just chilling and relaxing... after smoking pretty much every day for several months i've gone a week now while out of town and... i don't feel much better or anything

^^^ essentially that

high five!

limply flails numb hand

damn i've been getting that too and it's something i haven't had in the past

Last Saturday I got a small stash for the first time in more than a year of scrounging off friends after nights of drinking. I keep forgetting it's there.

I got some 1:1 THC:CBD (11%/11%) and it's amazing - no anxiety or paranoia and it's hard to get too high. I hope that if/when legalization becomes the norm stuff like this is more standard than super high THC stuff..

thc is the fun bit tho

and for me weed isn't causing me anxiety while i'm high, i'm just cutting it out in case consumption is contributing to anxiety that happens while not high

no coffee and no getting drunk either. gawd, what a life

You still get the fun bit it's just more controlled. Too high = full blown panic attacks for me in the past and the line in the sand comes on quickly.

i've been smoking way more lately, pretty much every night. i get all my studying done during the day and am not falling behind or anything, but i still feel bad about it for some reason. i mostly do it to avoid news/difficult personal conversation topics :(

probably a gram or so i'd say? i reload with a dub every couple of weeks probably

i just got a PS3 hooked up to a projector with MGS4 and Demon's Souls this weekend is gonna be fun

Played through the first hour of resident evil 7 while buzzed and I was like man look at those treeeees movin' in the breeeeze

that game looks v scary

It has been 420 every day for me, pretty much since the day after the election. Combo of self-medication for the trump era and being totally immersed in making a website about the same (my creative energy peaks when I'm high so i grab at the pipe like the evil people reach for the metallic spray stuff in mad max)

In keeping with the video game theme I plan on rewarding myself with Last Guardian on Monday night.

Forza Horizon 3 is hypnotic when I'm high.

.just passed my six year anniversary of daily weed smoking

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.

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.

I like to use the whoa scale

Trying to curtail my usual consumption for a little bit so I can justify buying a Volcano.

eh fuck it who wants to join me

I got a Volcano with fantasy football winnings, it's pretty dope.

I will not hang out anyone who sullies my living space with fantasy football chatter

i've got some extremely fresh https://www.leafly.com/hybrid/trainwreck

A modern day classic no doubt

i smoke like 1x or 2x per wk its good its the rt amt m/l

it tastes pretty good and has a great funky smell

lol flopson otm but I'm posing because I still can't clear enough space in the schedule to smoke more than 1-2x/week

still philosophically flopson otm

I still can't clear enough space in the schedule

for me, that time is called 8pm :)

I'm on a roll where I am restricting myself to once a day on weekends. Because the more you indulge the less the effex of the hi

I abstained yesterday for the first time in awhile and had some lucid and pleasurable dreams, which I've heard sometimes happens

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.

ha i was in colorado a couple weeks ago for a conference/vacation and honestly it was very difficult to shake the furtive sneakiness that i am so used to when smoking. i still felt like i was doing something illegal

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.

that vice interview with Trudeau regarding legalization was somewhat concerning; pretty unclear what they intend to change on the bill to help those with existing possession charges, if anything. Mostly vague answers that didn't really clarify anything

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.

this is the thread that we have been doing rolling talk on legalization on:

Rolling Cannabis Politics Thread

some province might decide to punt you into some sort of pseudo-medical "treatment and counselling" hamster wheel

not canadian, but i could go for this

i've quit smoking weed

probably for the best ^

i'm doing a PhD and kept having to mini-quit a day or two before exams but then i would get insomnia, so i just stopped cold and now it's been a month and i'm back to reading to put me to sleep

since my state legalized recreational my city has been one by one shutting down all of the quasi-legal medical dispensaries in anticipation of the new regime of zoning, permits, inspections and taxation. klnd of sucks because i can't really get comfortable w/ delivery services.

u should become a weed libertarian

don't tread on WEED

i heard the state of colorado is annoying as fuck now

it's still pretty chill imo except for the rising housing costs but that's not all the fault of legal weed

i have good friends in SW colorado and they said no one even goes to dispensaries, everyone either grows or knows someone that grows

they are pretty rural though

i just heard horror stories of not being able to escape the smell of pot, hoards of bros in streetwear puffing everywhere, sounds like hell tbh

Are you joking? Firstly the smell of grass is delicious and secondly I doubt that you can't escape it. You can always change the side of the road for example.

yea I can't say that matched my experience when I was there earlier this year. I even stayed in a weed friendly bed-and-breakfast and I think I only noticed one other guest smoking in the outdoor patio area. this was in manitou springs / co springs area

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

weed is virtually decriminalized where I'm at and while you smell weed a lot it's hardly an issue (to me who is one of the people smoking weed walking down the street ha)

are you wearing streetwear though

my friend was a teacher and he mentioned kids coming into school reeking of weed not because they were smoking but because it was harvest season their parents were up all night trimming or whatever

are you wearing streetwear though

"hoards of bros in streetwear puffing everywhere"

this is fantastic imagery

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, and even then i'd much rather be in the area of the weedsmokers, who are probably just laughing at things, then the area of the drunk Wooers, who could challenge you to a physical confrontation if you're unlucky

Otm

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

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.

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.

i'm approaching a quarter a week lately and i'm not ~particularly~ happy about it..

that's a lot!

lol this was second year of med school for me

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

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.

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

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

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.

So is all this stuff readily available in CA now?

pretty much yeah

these kids today and their dabbing

all i wanna do is get stoned and listen to records

story of my life

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agocMrIfLyc

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

if there's anyone you can trust around naked flames and hot metal it's stoners

f that s

In my day, we Magyvered a bowl out of an apple or a soda can. Hmph.

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?

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.

i am just responsibly reporting third hand gossip :)

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.

xpost oh well

I admit that on more than one occasion I have eaten half a cookie or a single mint before watching a band or movie, and then terrorised the streets by walking alone back to where I was staying #partoftheproblem

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.

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.

https://sensiseeds.com/en/blog/cannabis-bhutan/

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

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.

Unfortunately the pigs all started buying Phish records.

From a retail store without a prescription?

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.

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

Mostly switched to edibles (gummies) these days.

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