how much weed u smoke (week)

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!

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

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

Thank God for my family as I’d be a total stoner alcoholic if not for them

Instead of just a weekend warrior

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.

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.

the rebellious stoner pigs listen to pig destroyer

roving weedbro reporting for duty!

get out there and go have a conversation

Conversation skill usually the first casualty of roving.

cannibus so not compatible with buddhism

So is all this stuff readily available in CA now?

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

(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.

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