I told you people to buy warehouse space in MO 5 years ago.
Did not predict the Super Bowls tho.

Learn how to grow both indoors and outdoors. It will save you thousands. With automation nowadays the time needed to maintain a grow is much less than what it used to be.

That is in the future. Wife doesn't want me growing until the kids are out of the house.

Understandable. Some people have reservations about it. But at it's most basic form, it is not different than growing tomatoes or rose bushes for yourself. But there are added issues of course.

My wife was raised in a very strict religious home and when she met my family line... I'm sure she had real thoughts of what the **** did I just step into. 25 total years later she is still here after my jaunts up and down mountains, cannabis travels and meeting all sorts of wild and interesting characters through the years. So I can understand the reservations from a spouse.

Yep, this. With that amount of time and very little other information, I don't think I'd risk it.

Most of the studies that concluded pot did that kind of brain damage were done years ago and a good many of them were funded by industries and companies with financial interest in keeping weed illegal.

I need to smoke more pot. I didn't know that it could allow to observe things that never actually happened.

I grew up in a very strict religious home. And funny enough the person in my family that was most strict about it is now a medical card holder. :D

Oh and for the record, they're still every bit as religious as they used to be. Just not in the same way.

My wife never tried cannabis until the age of 44 in 2020. She didn't like it but is 100% good with me using it.

We have lube and bath bombs :D

So I had a post a way back about buying a joint at a place.
First time legal shop
Bought it just to say I did, you know?

So I did go ahead and fire it up, but it was way different from the joints I ever rolled and smoked. This thing was stuck inside cardboard to puff on

So I fired that bad boy up, and took a couple hits and all of a sudden the back of my throat started burning, but I wasn’t going to blow that smoke out. Then my ears started popping and I went down on my knees and let the smoke out of my lungs. I kind of got my shit together and put that good weed up. Went inside and drank a bunch of ice water. ****in joint burned the back of my throat.
sec

omg hahahhahaha

So what’s the deal, sis?
Help an old stoner out

Sounds like you smoked packaging or something lol

The crinkled cardboard is the filter.

As far as your experience... sounds like it was some dry shit that burned quick and hot.

Sounds like you smoked a tampon, bro.

I know someone else answered but it's a filter. ❤️ No more sucking in weed or having to air dry your buddies spit off your joint.

I can send you some glass ones with little diamonds in them. I even have Chiefs colors.

Glass tip filters are where it's at. And yeah, i won't smoke a joint or blunt w/o a filter. Haven't in years.

Even when i buy prerolls i'll just push the cardboard filter into the glass tip, idc. It's simply better.

J's w/o a filter are just....gross. Yeah we all smoked like that when we were younger, but now that i know better....

Team #noherpes

Maybe saying just religious is the wrong way to say it. Maybe more Puritan type Christianity is the better descriptor and they still are very much against any kind of regulated market. They will die believing they are saving people.

My wife is similar in some respects. She didn't try it until 40 and understood it was always in my life, and in some manner always will be. She understood that was part of my package.

Now she smokes nearly as much as I do.

seclark ROFL.

I will forever name my crutches from now on, seclark's

****ers
I’ve smoked dope since 1977, and you all treat me like a noob
sec

In all fairness, smoking the wrong end of a doobie is about as noob as it gets.

Side note, I love the Raw cones with the filter. No more sucking in ashes or needing roach clips. It makes the experience much more enjoyable

Yeah, I was hitting on the right ****in end…. I think I just pulled in too much with that end on it.
I don’t give up easily…this afternoon I’m going back out to the garage and lighting it back up, but this time taking a few lighter hits. I’m

That immunotherapy I’m on makes my mouth and throat tender anyway.
sec

I've not smoked flower in 30 years. I've had no issues with vaping using the replaceable cartridges.

Ah, gotcha. I have to take smaller hits too because I had smoked cigarettes for so long it tears me up and I hate the heavy coughing

Legal question....

It's legal in your state. You were prescribed this by a board certified doctor to improve your health or lessen pain. Here in Florida you have to register with the state as a user before you can legally buy any THC products. So....

Why can companies still fire you or not hire you based on the use of THC when its legal, prescribed by a legit doctor and registered with the state?

Ambien is a class 1 drug but they don't test for that. That shit will make you sleepy and groggy/ Seems to me that's detrimental to a productive work day.

Talking snot bubbles and crossed eyes.
sec

I sometimes light the wrong end.

Dispo shit can be drier than a hay bale sometimes. Pre rolls definitely so.

Do you hold it in? I do not and just puff like a cigarette. The lungs are such an efficient source to deliver something into your body that I am not certain that holding it in is actually any benefit.

Ever heard of someone having a whitey? Everything goes black for a second and down they go.

Had a friend over one day and he took a big toke off my old silver surfer vape. He stumbled a few steps, fell backwards and broke a storage shelf of mine. He got right up and we laughed our asses off. He loved that so much I bought him one for his birthday.

Thc isn't recognized by the feds and thus isn't protected like other pharmaceuticals. That was one of the first questions I had. I was looking for a friend of mine who is on disability if it would effect his check if he got a card. Apparently it can if you are just starting the application process, but they won't take it away if you already have it

I take baby hits when I do smoke. I've learned how far I can go without hacking up a lung

Insurance companies?

Absolutely this.

Because first we had to convince the population.
And if You (Royal) don't know what a journey that has been, just read this thread.

Get yourself a good dab/wax pen (link) and vape live rosin (not live resin, there's a big difference).

No cartridges containing God knows what, no solvents/chemicals, no smoke in your lungs from unneeded plant material - just pure, unadulterated, gooey goodness. They use a heat press and literally just squeeze the "sap" out of bubble hash/ice water hash made directly from the plant. Find the right shop and you can get it for less than $30/gram. The taste and effectiveness are unmatched.

I recommend the 14er dispensary in the Denver/Boulder area (link) and Hana Dispensary in Phoenix metro (link). Prices are higher at Hana, but they do BOGO deals each week that get you down to the $25-$40/gram price range.

"Live Rosin is pressed from our fresh, frozen Ice Water Hash, further filtering away any unwanted plant material. This highly resinous concentrate was crafted without the use of solvents, making it the purest expression of any given cultivar. At 14er, we cold cure our Live Rosin to create a creamy, shelf-stable product that is cherished by both connoisseurs or anyone looking for a delectable dabbing experience. It’s quite literally the cream of the crop."

I never passed out, but I did get tunnel vision a few times back in the day when I still used a 2' bong. I was always worried that I would give myself an aneurysm if I kept doing that. I made a conscious effort to learn what my limits are, so I never have the big coughing spells anymore.

Coughing is just your body telling you that you pulled that hit correctly.

Old heads would say the more you cough the more you get off.

Fundamentalist. That's what you're looking for.

That's my upbringing. I grew up in an Anabaptist-oriented church (for the sake of clarity, Anabaptist theology is embraced by people like the Amish) and my family was pretty strict about it. We weren't Amish by any means but still, the strictness - the Old Testament way of thinking - was prevalent in the church.

It often takes a long time for those people to soften and actually live their Christianity (you know, the whole love and hope thing). And even then, it often takes some kind of "seismic shift" in thinking before it happens. For my family member, it was the fact that their "I'll only do it if it's legal" eventually led to opioid dependency, which most Christians would also condemn. At that point, the paradox becomes real and that family member had to reevaluate what they thought about right and wrong. That led to them accepting "alternative medicine" and eventually, to them finally finding pain relief in cannabis.

And yes, there are plenty of conservative Christians out there that feel that weed is just flat out immoral and they'll probably never change. The sad thing is that here, in this state, they're voting in people who they THINK are like-minded but in the end, they're just being used to stimulate more corporate welfare. Our medical program is essentially a monopoly for one company that has huge ties to the people in charge at the capital.

I vape as well. In terms of effects on the lungs, there's no comparison (I was also a long-time cigarette smoker who switched to vaping).

The old saying for us was "if you ain't chokin, you ain't smokin".

God I was dumb as a kid. :D

It will usually happen to all of us at least once.

Seen many tourists get right of the plane in Schipol, hit a coffee shop getting into Amsterdam then proceed to hit the floor.

Dutch will just prop your ass up back on your luggage and shove a coca-cola down your throat.

Do you feel you missed out on some experiences growing up that some of your peers had while being raised in a less strict home?

I was not raised in a strict home at all. We were for the most part allowed to roam where ever we wanted, do what we wanted. Just bring your ass home and do your chores.

Aren't we all? ;)

I had one buddy who was a "hold your hit" guy. He would hold his hits till he turned blue. I was an early starter so I was like "STFUP and quit dropping your cupcakes in my floorboard you ****in greenhorn"!

My daughter in law always thinks I’m going to pass out.
sec

Shit even if you do you'll bounce right back. No worries

Not really.

For one, I did a lot of things that my parents didn't even know at the time. See, a teetotaling parent has never experienced alcohol or drugs, so they don't know the warning signs. :evil:

Second, I more than made up for anything I missed in my childhood by going absolutely apeshit wild in my late teens to my late 20's.

ROFL

Had a homemade cookie I got from a friend and feel little. So pissed I wasted calories for nothing,

I quit smoking a few months ago.

Congratulations

Did you pick up anything to replace it?

Gain some extra pounds?

Lose weight with less munchies?

Wish I got munchies with smoking. :(

I have thcv tincture. I haven't tried it yet because i want a clear experience. But what if it really works as an appetite suppressant?

I don't even let my mind go down that path too far because it would be such a game changer for society.

Read about THCv a bit. let me know how it does. If it does suppress then my wife might want to try it again.

I picked up some live rosin concentrate of Florida Purple today. Using the Pax 3. Hits different than the flower but not in a bad way. Might be a little more clear headed than the flower.

I don't get the munchies but sometimes my wife does. Definitely keep us posted on how it works.

On a side note, on our last trip, our budtender suggested she try an ointment/lotion for transdermal absorption. She likes it. Immediate relief (because it contains menthol) which fades into the THC effects. It definitely does a decent job when she has acute, specifically-located pain.

I should add - she still takes edibles for generalized pain and vapes for before bed for sleep. This lotion is for like sharp pains in a specific place. I just asked her and she said it's great for immediate relief but doesn't last as long as edibles.

I may eat 1 time a day if I stopped smoking.

I only eat twice a day now so I am not far from it now.

Bout to go pick me up some CaviCone Ice Wata's.

These are some baaaaad little 1.5G Prerolls, and my favorite pot shop is doing a Buy one Get one Free promo on them right now. They're potent. Usually just smoke half and put the rest away for next sess.

NBA - no testing for cannabis now
MLB - no testing for cannabis
NFL - levels allowed during season
NHL - will test will not punish

These are million dollar investments in billion dollar industries. Is anyone really not convinced yet?

Mahomes is obviously smoking in the off season for sure. Let the NFL suspend Mahomes for weed and the backlash would be severe.

It would push the conversation so hard and so fast.
But I can wait.

In the meantime The Concussion Alliance just keep gathering receipts. ❤️

Happy 420 💚💚

Latest harvest is in their jars. Gorilla Glue is the first ready to smoke, and I gotta say it meets its reputation. At 25-28% THC, it has a sneaky quick high. Two or three hits and you think you're going nowhere, and then BAM! Turn around and your head is a floating off your shoulders. It's very cerebral, consciousness-lifting, I'd say. Quickly becoming my go to favorite.

Sour Diesel is about a week from finishing its cure, and I'm looking forward to that given all the positive rep it has received in this thread.

But, highly (pun intended) anticipating the Laughing Buddha that's showing in the attachment. There she sits, waiting for the scissors and to be trimmed and cured.

Happy 420, all!

A good sticky GG is my favorite functional high.

Agree.

My notes: GG is a cross of Choc. Diesel and Sour Diesel, and is 60/40 Indica/Sativa. It also has some Chemdawg in it's genetics, because that's a cross for Sour Diesel (with Super Skunk).

I have a son who suffered from a severe headache that spanned nearly 2 years when he was 11-13. Children's Mercy, KU Med, nobody had any answers or could offer hope. We did everything imaginable in addition to the worthless meds they prescribed. Chiro, acupuncture, that cryo tank stuff. Sometimes seemed like something kinda sorta helped, but nothing eradicated the headache. We called it the "headache" singular because pain scale never dropped to 0 the entire time. It never dropped below 2 the entire time. Was usually 5-8. Worst 2 years of my life.

One of the last things tried before the headache went away was CBD oil. He weened himself off of that without telling us after the problem went away. He's 17 now and started having some headaches again and this article is a great reminder to start there instead of everywhere else.

Old people and parents paved the way for all the rest of the debacle that will exist today. None of this legality would have happened without people like you.

I've sat with neurologists from Childrens here, and Chicago. They all think CBD is as obvious an answer as working out is to physical therapists.

All the love to the kiddo.

Was it any kind of specific CBD oil? I've got a 13 year old that just started getting migraines over the last 6-8 months. We've had to take her into urgent care multiple times to get the shot in her butt to break it. Never fails that it will be gone for a little while and then slowly start to creep back in.

She has the emergency meds that are supposed to help but they hardly ever do.

This is the exact thing we purchased: https://cbdamericanshaman.com/water-...-hemp-oil-30ml

From what I remember, results were not immediate, but they came soon enough after he started using this stuff that the correlation was difficult to just dismiss as coincidence. Best wishes for healing for your daughter.

Thanks man.

Not sure what i'll smoke today. Probably pick up a Packwood.

https://www.packwoods.com/packwoods/

You been to Insa yet? I’ve gone twice and used my $50 off $100. Their Gary Payton strain is fire!

Let's celebrate!

I'll be puffing on some OG Kush Breath later today. Either that or Ghost Train Haze.

As a whole we saw over 500 customers the first hour. :clap:

Home for a couple hours. 💚
