Weed thread, what do you vaporize / smoke?

I had to check with my AI to make sure I was not hallucinating:

For me, peanuts do it...

Interesting... worth a try.

The only solution i found was, don't keep anything unhealthy home, if you only keep fruits, vegetables and meat you have to prepare nothing crazy can happen, cos it doesn't only make you hungry, it also makes you lazy that's the trick :p

Unfortunately my wife demands we keep "proper snacks" in the house so I'm always at risk. :D

For some, the 'pot scene' (aka Stoners) becomes a cultural (counterculture) identity.

As @pablolie mentions, in various places, once it becomes legal or at least defacto legal, partaking becomes a normal personal decision like whether to drink wine, and there is no cool factor involved anymore. In my area it's advertised on billboards and grocery receipts like any other boring product, and nobody cares if you smoke or not.

We were smoking bongs, daily....all day....back in the 90s.
I lost many years of my life, I would say.
It's such a waste. You drink, you have fun. You smoke, you just bum around.

I have known many over the years. I don't think it did good for any of them.
Sure, if you "micro-dose," you can have positive effects in the long term....but who really does that?
The only people who are really able to do it don't really need it in the first place, cause they have a near perfect life anyways.

About entry drug: Back then, all my friends eventually got addicted to ecstasy, and I mean all of them. I pretty much was the only one who didn't. Coke was also a thing between them. I tried those things also. The thing is, I would never have tried this stuff if it wasn't for the green. That is why it is considered an entry drug.

I was a stoner for many years in my younger days. I've never tried, let alone seen, any other illegal drug. I put a lot of exposure and use of illegal drugs down to musical subcultures and social circles in many ways. As a lifelong Reggae fan, weed was always the drug of choice. I've never been a regular club or pub goer and in all honesty I'm not overly sociable. I dare say that had I been into the Rave scene, for example, then I would have definitely encountered ecstasy for starters.

So in summary, weed was never an 'entry drug' for me, nor for most of my friends. I suspect it wasn't weed that was the entry for you into trying other drugs, but rather the social settings you found yourself in.
 
I agree. Whichever drug you try first introduces you to the concept of chemically altering your mental state. Apart from that there is nothing about any drug by itself that leads to using other drugs, but the social circles you may get into in order to procure the drug, or with whom you consume it, can enable trying out other substances.

I had one hash dealer in the 90ies who, while on a lot of acid, confessed that cannabis was mainly a loss leader for him, and he really wanted to sell us exstasy, amphetamines or coke. Explains why he was always trying to push these on us though we never bought any.

Or just simple business for bulk/cost/profit let alone wider market. Foods can alter your state chemically.....
 
Perhaps, dosage and drug and other parameters.....
 
Perhaps it is worth to post this here, possibly as a disclaimer or as a PSA or maybe just as a warning:

Ask your chatBot about checking for the last bullet point above.

You particularly familiar with their leaders and their motives? https://iasic1.org/advisory-board/

With the lack of studies over the years, hard to know what they're basing things on or whether they have a clue at all...
 
In its face value, it is a good Public Service Announcement (not by me but by them to pay for it, as a 1/2 page in wsj).
No one can make up all of those consequences, but not necessarily all at the same time, or any at all?

Compared to the good ol' days of something like Reefer Madness?
 
Not nearly so bad as some of the graphic warnings on French tobacco.

I'm an advanced lifter(Resistance training) and I wish I could get munchies and increase my calories but I just don't eat when I smoke.

I only vape and always put it through a bubblier for extra filtration, never smoke two days in a row and stick to max twice a week. I tend not to get stoned per se with vaping and the temps I use, just uplifted never get any next day hangovers. And I don't drink alcohol. Love the idea of a pep up now and again or to reduce boredom, kind of like having a beer on a Friday night, awesome!

As far as I know, "OG" stands for "original gangster" as in a founding / early / senior member of a street gang. The term has evolved that now people just use "OG" to mean "original", but in a trendy way?


A buddy of mine was a heavy user for a while and ended up getting this. Not fun from what he says. It was years ago and he still will have a puff on rare occasions, but is pretty tentative about it.

Unrelated to either of the above, anyone have a good solution for the munchies? (not like, what foods to eat, but how to prevent?) The only thing I've noticed is THC-V tends to reduce rather than enhance appetite, but at this point, a puff or two of normal stuff turns me into a snack-destroying robot. If I want to lose any weight I'll need to quit entirely.

Thought about you

I'm an ex cigarette smoker, I only smoke weed like twice a year now, I do use a vaporizer, but I also like the filth of a classic european tobacco/weed mix in a joint, a vaporizer will never match that. But yeah you lose a big part of the weed aroma.

The only time I tried CBD edibles I overdosed. I will never do that again. I thought I was dying. Last time I listen to some druggies telling me it is OK. But I lived and learned. Don't eat a lot of edibles when you have no tolerance.....

Sad, but too much of anything at all is not good. Drinking far too much water can kill you.
Moderation is all things is the better way to go.
