Grown-ass people need a place to buy weed.

how's life, Friday, 16 May 2014 18:38 (ten years ago) link

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.

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

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 (ten years ago) link

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 (ten years ago) link

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 (ten years ago) link

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.

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

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...

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

marcos, Friday, 16 May 2014 20:15 (ten years ago) link

might NOT be crazy about it.

marcos, Friday, 16 May 2014 20:15 (ten years ago) link

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

marcos, Friday, 16 May 2014 20:16 (ten years ago) link

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

Οὖτις, Friday, 16 May 2014 20:22 (ten years ago) link

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

marcos, Friday, 16 May 2014 20:29 (ten years ago) link

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.

^^^ the cool minority

difficult listening hour, Tuesday, 20 May 2014 00:28 (ten years ago) link

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.

Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Wednesday, 21 May 2014 13:49 (ten years ago) link

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.

dylannn, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 14:06 (ten years ago) link

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

ian, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 14:37 (ten years ago) link

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

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

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 (ten years ago) link

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

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

In 8 days weed turns into Alzheimer's.

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

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 (ten years ago) link

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

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.)

Mostly switched to edibles (gummies) these days.

VyrnaKnowlIsAHeadbanger, Saturday, 21 April 2018 04:18 (six years ago) link

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