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.
― 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.

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.

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

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 (ten years ago) link
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 (ten years ago) link
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.
