I haven't smoked in over 25 years and Im ok with that would like to go for some edibles though. The best high I ever for was from some cookies a friend made.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I'm not a smoker and pot more generally has never done much for me. Haven't bothered exploring any of the legit options we have now (even tho there's no shortage of licensed dispensaries around town).revbob wrote: ↑02 Sep 2021, 9:38pmI haven't smoked in over 25 years and Im ok with that would like to go for some edibles though.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
As a young man, I was what you might call a "pothead," I would regularly take in the contents of a whole gravity bong before going to work. But as I got older it started giving me too much anxiety so I quit for many years. Now, thanks to dispensaries, I found a high-CBD indica that sits well with me and I have a couple puffs on that on weeknights. It's much better now that I'm not just buying whatever Adam has in at his house.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Sep 2021, 6:31amI'm not a smoker and pot more generally has never done much for me.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
A good friend was a heavy user and it slowly eliminated all ambition in his life. He realized that he couldn't moderate his use so he finally cut it out altogether. I haven't seen him in years—he's back in Saskatoon—so I have no idea whether he's reacquainted himself since legalization, but with a wife and two young kids, I suspect he (and the wife) would be wary of him giving it a shot again.Kory wrote: ↑03 Sep 2021, 12:36pmAs a young man, I was what you might call a "pothead," I would regularly take in the contents of a whole gravity bong before going to work.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Me and the wife get high as shit on edibles about once a week. It rocks. Music plays and we have a laugh
Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
A confession: I've never smoked weed. Or ate it.
Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
The gap between how different people experience these things is so wide. I had anxiety, but I was plenty productive. I just couldn't go in public.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Sep 2021, 1:06pmA good friend was a heavy user and it slowly eliminated all ambition in his life.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
That's the thing—all these substances affect people differently, so recommending yea or nay is a bit futile. As I said, pot never had that much of an effect on me—it was always rather mild and not worth the smoke—so I never really pursued it. May the higher quality legit stuff would be more satisfying, but I'm just not curious enough.Kory wrote: ↑03 Sep 2021, 3:41pmThe gap between how different people experience these things is so wide.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I still recommend yea if only because the research I've read suggests that outlawing this stuff often winds up being more dangerous overall than allowing it to be available. More selfishly, I want to take all the drugs.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Sep 2021, 4:51pmThat's the thing—all these substances affect people differently, so recommending yea or nay is a bit futile.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Oh shit, yeah. I never do that. Those are very annoying people. This boils down even to various strains of weed. "You just haven't found the right strain yet." Fuck you, you have no idea how much I've tried. They also aren't really that different—it has much more to do with your mindset in general, and your mindset before you use it.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Sep 2021, 5:33pmSorry, I was unclear.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
My one regret—sort of—is never trying acid. That possibility of weird revelation and creativity is very appealing. But my own brain issues now make me super wary, but especially being dubious of whether dangerous crap is mixed in with the LSD. And because of that wariness all around, I'm not sure I'd ever be in the right frame of mind. So, short of a terminal diagnosis and deciding to throw all caution to the wind, that's a road I won't go down.Kory wrote: ↑03 Sep 2021, 5:36pmOh shit, yeah. I never do that.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
I'll probably try mushrooms soonish, but I share your caution regarding what might be mixed in with something more chemical like acid. I had a trip on molly a couple years ago that we all determined was probably a little closer to straight meth, so it doesn't make me feel too safe, especially with something that's already supposed to alter my perceptions.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Sep 2021, 5:54pmMy one regret—sort of—is never trying acid.

Yeesh. I remember the Boss telling me she did shrooms a lot in her younger days and loved it.
