now smoking/vaporizing

[nibelheim]

yeah like for example i really cant fathom blue dream making anyone anxious

[parades]

yeah i just don't know how i would manage to find a connect that can get me different strains. idk what i have now but it mellows me out most of the time. i just always get anxious before i start because i feel like i'm wasting time then it's all avalanches

[Coca Cola]

try smoking constantly. seriously

[ghostguts]

had a dumb bitch give me a call and I answered it only knowing I would regret it. turns out some dudes she's hanging out with are annoyed of her and no one will pay attention to her. god damn bitches that ruin your high.

hey i got a question for ya nautical:

alright now let's be honest first. you seem like you "smoke a lotta reefer".
I'll be quite honest myself...I smoke a lot of reefer too. I like my "shit" mad "dank", even if it costs daddy a little extra.

do you think other people just "don't get it"? are we "just a coupla potheads ramblin'" about the physical/mental benefits of habitual marijuana use and possibly masking underlying issues pertaining to an underlying reliance on altered states of consciousness while spending more time trying to justify our lifestyle to ourselves while smoking away money that could be used for savings, or are we sincerely just types of people who benefit moreso than not from pot?

I think I might've read a couple of your posts about mmj, sorry if I've confused you with someone else but I believe it was related to sciatica or something shitty like that? (no need to re-tell stories, not tryin to pry into yr shit or nothin either). I've got chronic muscle spasms in my upper back, shoulder, and neck; x-ray showed a bit of scoliosis and abnormally loose ligaments that very easily forms a pinched nerve right in that great spot beneath your shoulder blade and neck that radiates out—I do all the stretches and stuff to try to strengthen it like all doctors recommend but one bad day can undo everything. Going to the chiropractor helps but of course, but it only makes things looser so inevitably I ended up needing to visit frequently. If I were to get a card this is probably what would do it, but in addition I've got IBS and all sorts of other things that weed stops dead in its tracks. When my back slips out, it affects all sorts of things from my arms sometimes going numb to getting "shocked" if I turn my neck the wrong way, and a high quality indica dominant stops all sorts of spasm pain from interfering with my life and of course back pain just ruins your mood completely.

Anyways; I don't keep track of how much I smoke anymore, I just smoke a few bowls whenever I'm at the house and I do everything from 4 hour classes to cleaning the kitchen while high. I ended up quitting cigarettes with weed but developed the tolerance as a result, but with the tolerance I found that I can smoke without worrying about getting "too high" and go about my day doing things without thinking twice. 99% of people I talk to including a lot of stoners think I'm absolutely insane for this. Even my dealer elbows me about it from time to time; I apparently have the "Seth Rogan gene" or something...

So what's your take on this, if ya got one? I've noticed I feel shittier when I smoke not so great weed, so the solution has been to prioritize top shelf weed vs. settling and it makes a huge difference. I stopped drinking regularly, have more money for weed now, feel like I'm top of the Earth as a result, and meanwhile everyone down below me in 'squaresville' is hootin' and hollerin' because they can't handle their own shit, like all these reformed liberals who have to hate on weed just because it turns shitty people shittier and they couldn't handle "the shame" of being recreational drug users or something.

i started smoking weed pretty habitually before my back got fucked up, and i have continued to smoke after it got fixed. i also smoked after the surgery (ate edibles) in place of taking vicodin after the first week or so. most people out here get their scripts for insomnia, depression, and ADD. there are people who go to the weed clinics who are extremely sick as well, but it doesn't matter, because the people who are "just getting high" are self medicating for some reason. you can point towards anything and dub that the problem that weed is fixing, that's sort of why it's such a gray area. anyway, i'm rambling.

my tolerance is high and it sucks just because it's expensive. people don't know when i'm high and usually are surprised to hear that i smoke weed if they don't know me well. i don't smoke at work at all, and i've gotten to the point that i just vaporize or take hits of hash most of the time because it makes me feel better than smoking bong rips all day...on the weekends i'm smoking all day because that's what all of my close friends do as well and it's just a social thing at this point. everyone has their own weed/card, so it's usually a nice mixture when we all hang. sorta silly.

anyway, if you can function well and honestly can look at yourself and say you're doing the best you can while smoking weed all the time, fucking do it. being high is awesome but it's not for everyone. taking a break every couple months is good though, i should do it soon.

v good points throughout here

ive quit smoking for literally years on end before - didnt smoke at all from ages 22-24 and i stop smoking for months at a time every year

just like anything else, make sure it doesnt dictate your life for you and for christ sakes enjoy the hell out of it while youre doing it

Yeah I feel this. I used to go to work high and be just fine but eventually it became a waste of time and weed. Glad to see that others feel the same way about medicinal smoking, but yeah I think everyone at one point need to assess whether they "need" to smoke or not, and then whether that "need" is really physical, or just a mental dependence. Don't necessarily "need" to smoke, but I've recently realized how much better my quality of life has been since working it into something that's more of a productive ritual rather than trying to blunted as all fuck like back in the day. I vaporize in the morning and feel transparently high throughout most of the day, yes, but I know where "the limit" is while I'm smoking.

For example, if I'm driving, knowing when I'm just too high to be on the road is something that I just have a good personal gauge for, but if I were to say, help a friend break in a new piece and then drive at a sketchy hour like I had to do last weekend, I'd be pretty uncomfortable with it. A lot of people should not be driving stoned. I understand the fears of everyone who is adamantly against driving impaired whether it's weed or alcohol because it's certainly a sensitive issue. At the same time, there's the argument of relative harm in how weed affects you. I'm mainly concerned about this stuff because if marijuana is legalized I'm almost certain that the regulation of "high driving" would be much like a Drunk Driving charge, whereas currently driving under the influence of marijuana is slightly harder to convict since there's no standard breathalyzer THC meter.

I need a tolerance break badly as well. Wallet hurts.

haha I can't stand going out without smoking first

[Manifest Apathy]

I'm visiting Portland and have been just blown away with what my friends have given us.
We stopped by a store here and I walked out with the Launch Box (because I remembered it from this thread), a grinder, and three bowls. Went a little crazy, but I think it was a quality purchase.

Was it the Third Eye Shoppe on Hawthorne? Crazy two story shack with the headshop part upstairs? That place is my jam, I love it. They have some awesome imported tobacco choices too and while I generally hate incense they have a cool selection.

Everyone whose afraid of this needs to buy sunglasses and get their Dude on

you can already get a dwi for marijuana or legal drugs like xanax or w/e. you're overthinking it. if you can smoke and handle your shit, smoke all the time. if you can't, you probably shouldn't smoke much at all.

a close friend of mine worked for the sheriff's department. he said people get charged with a dwi but it never goes through prosecution. ever. like, in the 15 years he worked for the department he never saw it happen once in southern california.

remember when the dea said it would stop raids?:

(04-02) 10:41 PDT Oakland -- Federal agents swooped in Monday morning to search Oaksterdam University in Oakland, the state's first cannabis industry training school.

woke up with a resin hangover and decided to cure that with a bowl. this weed ain't good for wake up. oh well, good thing I don't have to do anything till 9pm.

[ghostguts]

also my weed dealer's grandma died yesterday. lighting one up for my homie's dead grandma.

[CudNylon]

i got too high on hash just now and the homey is coming by with more.
i haven't smoked flowers in 3 weeks.
shit's bho and real dry and crumbly and almost white. i usually get this budder that's made with co2. i dunno. i'm going to start making my own bho once my extraction tube gets here.

[blogger status]

whats bho

[nibelheim]

butane honey oil

[watchyourscrew]

there are some extractor folks i run into occasionally and they're basically brain-dead.

hungover, spliff

[nautical hyperblast]

yeah well spliffs are gross!

i can't imagine smoking bho in the amount that i smoked weed though.

[watchyourscrew]

these guys go through weed for extraction stupid fast, and subsequently oil.

BHO is pretty cool. but uh. don't turn into a zombie

[nautical hyperblast]

we'll see if it's cost effective to make my own... a gram of top shelf bho/oil/ear wax/budder is $50, so if i can get more than a gram of hash out of a top shelf eighth then i'm good to go. not worried about the zombie thing, i work 9-6 so i don't have time to get too burnt out.

[Felix]

is this a pretty good deal for $30? i usually only buy brick weed so no idea of fresh weed prices
