sorry, i just felt the need to share.
hip hip hooray for legal drugs-- the ones that are supposed to cure something and really just make you high/speedy/thirsty.
I still feel like sh*t, but now I'm on speed and feel like sh*t. God bless benadryl. But hell, at least it didn't list side effects anything like some of those tv ads (cures depression... but may cause you to want to kill yourself! etc.)

WTF!? :eek:
How the Hell do you speed on the stuff? I totally hate benadryl because it puts me right to sleep. Even a baby dose knocks me out! I'm serious about that too. Years ago I took half of a prescribed dose for my then 2 or 3 year old sister because adult doses were too much for me and I was out in no time. There was no fighting it. I've tried and can't. I can handle codeine with no problems whatsoever but benadryl is just impossible. The only way that I'll use it is topically on something like a bee sting.

but one can still get arrested for smoking pot at the 930 right?
i'm unclear what this law means.. if all it means is you can smoke pot in your house what is the big deal? nobody was going to come to my house anyways..i mean its not like cops are going to walk in off the street.. "hey hutch, whatcha up to???? still posting on the 930 forum??"
i have a feeling cops are still going to be dicks when they can..just like they always are...

There are places, I think, that turn a blind eye to that kind of stuff on their patio. I know a few places I frequent [near/around U St corridor] I always run into people on back patios doing it. Hell, even right on U St on the sidewalk. There's so many people out on weekends now that I think cops just try and keep an eye out for bigger disturbances.

In less than one year of legalizing and taxing marijuana, Colorado received nearly $70 million in tax revenue. And much of this money is going to school construction projects. In the first five months of 2015 we brought in $13.6 million for schools -- more than we did in all of 2014.
To put that in perspective, over the same amount of time, the state only raised about $42 million from taxes on alcohol. Since regulating marijuana, Colorado has freed police resources to focus on real crimes, created thousands of jobs, increased tax revenue for schools, and saw no increase in marijuana use among young people. As our Governor John Hickenlooper put it, ?The people who were smoking marijuana before legalization still are. Now, they?re paying taxes.?

wind and solar power is the wave of the future. so is weed power. billionaires will be made, off the production / commercialization of it.

There was an interesting story in today's Post that the City Council decided to allow weed smoking on rooftop bars, sidewalk patios, and any place designated as a private club. After about 30 minutes though, I guess they reversed it? Whatever the case, that's good news.
Sidebar note: The other night I was walking the dog and hitting a portable bowl when I walked right by a police car in which two cops were sitting with their windows rolled down. I looked at them, they looked at me, I kept walking, this is 2016.

Why is that?
because the City Council is actually having a serious conversation about allowing weed smoking on rooftop bars, sidewalk patios, and any place designated as a private club
-
And because it will lead to marijuana being taxed, regulated and sold like beer and cigarettes. Spread the joy, man.

DC council is talking about it (http://wjla.com/news/local/dc-council-to-debate-ban-on-pot-clubs) again!
WASHINGTON (AP) ? The D.C. Council is set to debate whether to permanently ban marijuana smoking inside businesses or clubs that charge a membership fee.
Advocates for loosening the city's marijuana laws have pushed for the city to carve out an exception to the law that restricts pot smoking to private residences. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Police Chief Cathy Lanier have pushed for the permanent ban, which the Council will take up on Tuesday.
Possession of up to 2 ounces of pot for use in the home has been legal in the District of Columbia since early last year. Congress has barred the District from further liberalization of its pot laws. But advocates say there are loopholes that would allow the city to allow smoking in clubs or other designated places, with restrictions.
http://dcist.com/2016/02/permanent_pot_club_ban_vote_postpon.php (http://dcist.com/2016/02/permanent_pot_club_ban_vote_postpon.php)
Today could have been a big showdown between pot advocates and opponents?the permanent ban on social smoking was set for a vote at the D.C. Council. Moments before the bill was going to be added to the agenda, though, Ward 5 Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie moved the permanent ban from consideration until at least February 16.
Instead, the council struck a more conciliatory tone, voting unanimously to establish a task force that will come back in 120 days with recommendations regarding the feasibility of pot clubs in the District. The task force is part of temporary legislation that extends the social-use ban for an additional 225 days.
The Council passed emergency legislation immediately after legalization to ban social use of marijuana, citing regulatory concerns. While the council overturned the ban on private cannabis clubs early this January for a few minutes, lobbying from the mayor and police chief led to a second vote that kept the emergency legislation in place.
"The time is right for us to consider designated spaces for communal smoking," said Ward 1 Councilmember Brianne Nadeau. "The existing ban is overly broad and punitive." She noted that a permanent ban could tie the Council's hands when it comes to marijuana policy, thanks to a Congressional rider.
At Large Councilmember Elissa Silverman said that the D.C. Council faced a unique balancing act between District voters' wants and the impositions of Congress, and insight from the task force could help find a solution.
At Large Councilmember Vincent Orange, who introduced the amendment, said the seven-person task force would include leaders from D.C. Police, the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, the Office of the Attorney General, the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration, Department of Health, and two councilmembers.
?Today?s withdrawal of the permanent ban shows that elected officials have finally begun to heed their constituents' wishes, but the fight for the creation of regulated places where adults can legally consume marijuana is far from over,? said Kaitlyn Boecker, policy analyst with the Drug Policy Alliance.

Since tobacco smoking causes cancer, marijuana smoking must as well. Right? Wrong.
Marijuana decreases the risk of lung cancer. Marijuana does not cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
To investigate the association between cannabis smoking and lung cancer risk, data on 2,159 lung cancer cases and 2,985 controls were pooled from 6 case-control studies in the US, Canada, UK, and New Zealand within the International Lung Cancer Consortium. Results from the pooled analyses in 2014 provided little evidence for an increased risk of lung cancer among habitual or long-term cannabis smokers

I remember, once, amongst the country . . . I was driving someplace and it was out there, and there were mountains and fields and then all these cop cars, marked and unmarked just parked in this open section, beyond the metal gate and cow crossing. A huge fire had been started away from the vehicles and there must of been over ten or thirteen of them hanging around, helping or watching. They were burning pot plants I later found out and those guys were just right there on top of the fire, standing around, you just know making sure the fire was "under control."

https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2017/02/23/us/politics/ap-us-trump-marijuana.html
A renewed focus on recreational marijuana in states that have legalized pot would present a departure from the Trump administration's statements in favor of states' rights.
I love how Republicans only like states rights when it's something they agree with...then it's time for the Feds to curtail those crazy states

I don't at all dispute Grateful's claims, as IMO it's similar to over processed food people eat
I'm not going to say that it's healthy, but it's all organic material and nothing else (typically the gourmet growers use very little chemicals because it's a controlled area and easy to keep pests out ...mileage may vary)
it's heated to a temp lower than combustion, so you are not getting bits of wood/vegetable matter floating about your lungs

Even where it's legal, people care a lot about pot. The recent CA wildfires set two records - one for the largest amount of pot burnt and one for the largest amount on US paper money ever burned. So long as the Feds continue to categorize it as a Schedule 1 drug, prohibiting growers from using the banking system, it remains a cash business and is very vulnerable to theft and natural disasters. And they are prohibited from purchasing crop insurance and the federal scheme.

This month, the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, aka the TTB, mailed cease-and-desist letters to Invasive Species Brewing in Fort Lauderdale and Devour Brewing in Boynton Beach. The letters, which arrived last week and Monday, block sales of any craft beer infused with cannabis terpenes oil that the federal agency hasn’t approved.

I think we're past the tipping point on the legal weed thing. Any state that doesn't accept recreational sales is just forgoing gobs of tax revenue.

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/06/25/623236189/fda-green-lights-marijuana-based-pharmaceutical-drug
But now, with the approval of a CBD drug, the DEA will change this, according to Dr. Douglas Throckmorton, deputy director of regulatory programs at the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research "The DEA will need to make a different scheduling decision for CBD...because it now has an accepted medical use," he said during a conference call with reporters.
He said the reclassification is underway now.

The action doesn't legalize psilocybin mushrooms, but it effectively bars the city from prosecuting or arresting adults 21 or older who possess them.
didn't know about this either
In Iowa, a Republican lawmaker recently proposed two bills to remove the drug from the state's list of controlled substances. And in Oregon and California, campaigns are working to get similar issues on the ballot for the 2020 elections.

I do think the legalization/decimalization of Pot is similar to Alcohol (in fact much safer)
I don't really agree with cocaine, I think it's much more dangerous and addictive
but taking the profit out of a drug, changes the black market behind that
although with Pot we've since learned that the bureaucracy makes it more expensive, so there is still a thriving black market
-
While I have no interest in either personally, I am all for full legalization of pot and very-heavy decriminalization of cocaine.

I mean, yeah, but at-risk teens aren't helped by this in any way.

but isn't that more of a parenting responsibility, not the government
let's be clear....I said that I'm not for the legalization of cocaine (I would be in favor of a decriminalized approach to drug abuse tho)
I'd say cars pose a much greater risk to at risk teens than
Accidents account for 41 percent of deaths among people in the 15 to 24 age group. Motor vehicle accidents alone account almost a quarter of all deaths of these young adults.
Suicide and homicide are next
Fifteen percent of the deaths of in this age group were induced by drugs or alcohol
also please tell me what drug being illegal...has stopped people from doing it?
-
I do think the legalization/decimalization of Pot is similar to Alcohol (in fact much safer)
I don't really agree with cocaine, I think it's much more dangerous and addictive
although it's a hard comparison to make with precision, most experts agree that cocaine is about as addictive as alcohol. yet we have figured out alcohol...
-
Good point hadn't heard that argument
Alcohol is pretty dangerous stuff and the cause of a lot of misery and premature death
but I do think other drugs could be treated the same way of regulations and laws
I guess there was a time when cocaine was considered harmless
TIL
In 1884, at the age of 28, Freud wrote a paper titled “Uber Coca,” which he described as a “song of praise to this magical substance.”
He overlooked a major downside to cocaine: addiction. Freud struggled for the next 12 years to break his cocaine habit.

Cocaine should be legal but regulated tightly

six ounces?!? dude. that's a lot of weed. unless you're snoop or willie, no one needs to walk around with that much (and still claim it's "personal"...)
-
Yeah, but say you were buying a year’s supply for your family 😁
6 oz is a year is a 1/8 per week.
That is not willy level consumption
-
Yeah, but say you were buying a year’s supply for your family
6 oz is a year is a 1/8 per week.
That is not willy level consumption
ok, but who the eff buys a year's supply at once? hoarders and preppers, that's who... admittedly two groups of people who need weed more than others ;D
hypothesis: they want to boost business (and tax revenue) by making it attractive for out-of-staters to drop in and stock up.
-
Typically no one buys that much, but I like that they put it higher (pun intended) than normal possession
What if you are picking up an oz each for your 5 friends from the local dispensary
I mean if you went to Hill Farmstead, you'd pick up as many 4packs as you had friends you had
one gripe I'm hearing about NJ...no language about growing...still a big crime
In VA they are talking about Grow...2 plants in flower and 2 in non-flowering state
I think that's kinda low, I think DC its 6 plants per person
-
washington is a cash-grabbing, no-grow state. oregon lets its residents grow... bastards.

Yeah, the no-grow thing is lame. Like craft beer, most people couldn't be bothered with the time and effort

The divide between pot users and coke users always cracks me up
About 22 or 23 years ago my circle of friends was pretty tight, big and happy…almost all potheads… then someone who also liked coke introduced it - some tried and liked it-and the circle literally blew up and it was all the fault of the damn potheads who thought it was all the fault of the coke users... a lot of them just couldn’t handle it..couldn’t deal… so immature …”how dare you use that illegal drug, we must only use THIS illegal drug!”
-
One of my (historic) best friends became a cokehead and its VERY different than potheads. There's an actual addiction there. Cannot functionally hold down a job, constant scamming people for money to buy coke. Literally spending the rent money the night before rent is due to get coke. Selling birthday gifts you'd give them for pennies on the dollar to get an extra bump.
I'm not a fan of the "put people in jail for these sort of problems" mentality and I definitely think lots of people use coke in a way that does not deleteriously impact their life so dramatically, but I've never met a mega-pothead that has that level of dysfunction compared to several mega-cokeheads who are just shells of themselves.

Exactly... when's the last time you hung out with a coke head and was like, "Yeah!! This guy is great, can't wait to hang with him again." vs. your stoner buddy that is a great person!
-
I've definitely met stoners that were annoying -- many stoners are funny to the not-stoned but some are obnoxious, similar to liquor drinkers -- but, yeah, you don't meet someone who is REALLY into coke and think "oh, what a great night this was!" Ever. No exceptions.
-
Of course coke is a way more dangerous drug.. but it’s one thing to be concerned about a friend being an abuser of a drug and another to be “Hey my friend is a bad person for using a drug at a party I don’t want to use and my friend couldn’t care less if I don’t use it ”
Comparing a mega pothead to a mega coke user is just not a very valid comparison in my experience… I never had any mega cokehead friends.. everything becomes distorted at the extremes
And there are plenty of pot burnouts out there
The dynamics of both drugs are totally different… but it’s the potheads that can’t handle coke users and not vice versa. For all the peace and love I saw nothing but bad vibes about it on the part of potheads… just my personal experience
I am wary of coke because I really can’t afford to live that rock and roll lifestyle.and I got enough issues…why tempt fate?….in fact I have never bought any.. but in my experience it’s a really good time.. And I definitely hung out with people on repeat coke using nights and thought man I want to do that again with those people but it’s been decades now

This thread just proves exactly what I am saying! Potheads have a visceral negative reaction to people who use coke.
And that’s all I am going to say
-
it’s one thing to be concerned about a friend being an abuser of a drug and another to be “Hey my friend is a bad person for using a drug at a party I don’t want to use and my friend couldn’t care less if I don’t use it ”
it’s the potheads that can’t handle coke users and not vice versa. For all the peace and love I saw nothing but bad vibes about it on the part of potheads…
I'll agree with both of these points.
-
Let's be clear, I have the same reaction to: Meth, Heroin, PCP, Crack, bathsalts, Oyx and all it's derivatives
What I'm OK with: Mushrooms, MDMA (lots of issues with fake/impure stuff to make me cautious on this one) Mescaline, DMT
I don't do Coke, but I've never been like "I won't be friends with that person because they do coke"
"or don't come to my party and do coke"
So not sure if this is in ref to me?
… then someone who also liked coke introduced it - some tried and liked it-and the circle literally blew up and it was all the fault of the damn potheads who thought it was all the fault of the coke users... a lot of them just couldn’t handle it..couldn’t deal… so immature …”how dare you use that illegal drug, we must only use THIS illegal drug!”
Now I can see a few of the potheads in the crew being like that...but on the whole, the coke users self deported and pretty much decided they were going to have their own get-togethers and became very exclusive
and let's be honest, unless you are doing coke, its absolutely ZERO fun to be around those doing coke...it's just such a weird vibe and it's all about doing more coke
Do it all you want, don't ask me for money or advice on the topic tho
I've seen it ruin people

I'm just bummed, we appeared to be a solid blue state...GQP is doing everything they can to derail any gains made by the dems in the last few sessions

For sure it sucks
I just can’t believe the Democratic Party fundraisers and power brokers couldn’t tell Terry “Listen man you had your term…you underperformed last time you got elected..you are just not that popular…why you need to run again? It’s risky…we will hook you up with something good just sit this out!”

was like what is the point of this...then
“I had come so far, I thought, and now Feinstein won,” he says. “That’s when I ate some shrooms thinking they had won. While I was on the shrooms I came to the realization of what I had to do. I put on a suit because the walls in Congress aren’t real if you wear a suit. I had just bought some Jordans the day before. I was happy as f–k. When Instagram (banned) my post I was angry. But I knew what I had to do. I had one last thing I had to do. So I took off my Jordans, took off my hoodie. I ironed my suit. I felt like I was in a f—king movie. I walked to the Hill. I was standing in front of the Capitol. My heart is racing. I had a joint in my pocket. I’m talking to cops. It made no sense to anyone but me, on shrooms. I put on some trap music. I thought of my family. I looked at my sister—she’s my screensaver on my phone. She puts up with so much s–t as a Black woman. I knew no one would ever know the s–t Feinstein does to Black people if I didn’t make it impossible to ignore.”
Purley made it past security and into the Capitol complex.
“I was so scared,” he recalls. “I knew I had been fired but there I was, in the f–king Capitol on shrooms. I walked around for like two hours, having mental conversations about whether this was something I wanted to do. Then I kept looking at my screen saver, at my sister, and walked from the Capitol, through the tunnels, to the Senate. My hands were straight sweat. I cannot breathe. I get to the Senate, the building where I worked for five years. I still had the keys to my office. I get in there. I get into the office and I can’t breathe. I’m on shrooms in an office where white people touch my hair and do racist s–t. I put on my mom’s favorite song because I knew it would calm me down and make me comfortable. The euphoria-slash-panic keeps kicking in that I’m not supposed to be there. Then I started thinking again about all the things I had to do to get there in the first place. I went into the conference room which was the worst room for me because that’s the room where I knew what it meant to be Black in a white office.
“So I walk in her office, Feinstein’s office, which triggered a screaming white noise sound. I had only been in her actual office like twice in five years and I couldn’t figure out how to turn off the white noise sound. It was giving me so much anxiety because it sounded like when the cops show up. So then I was like, f–k it. I just gotta do something for 10 minutes and I can finally leave. So I’d brought my Bose speaker. I used her bathroom, then I go sit at her desk. I turn on my speaker and start the music. I start smoking that joint, an afghani, a heavy indica, because I knew I needed to be calm.[/b] I thought about how special my mom and Black women would feel seeing me dance to that song in particular, in a space where they aren’t welcome at all. Then I started the video.”[/i]

According to authorities, the bottle that killed the German man contained as much as 100 grams of ecstasy. Recreational users generally consider the average pill containing 75 to 100 milligrams to be "safe"—meaning that the deadly bottle contained approximately a thousand times the typical recreational dosage.

in case anyone was curious about the economics of legal draghz: i bought an ounce of flower today for $100. my receipt informed me that price included $6.86 in city/municipal tax and $25.16 in state tax. that 32% effective tax rate was only what i, the consumer, paid. i have to assume that the store pays taxes on its revenues, and the growers contribute to local and state coffers as well.
-
I wouldn’t mess with ketamine….
agreed. it's not to be taken lightly... or at all, IMO. but to be fair, you're not exactly "messing with it" when used as part of a doctor-led therapy. it's incredibly popular as a party drug among brits.
it does have its uses, tho. other than the above-mentioned therapeutic application, my son was given K recently to knock him out while they reset his broken forearm. it was freaky to see him completely unconscious with his eyes still open. i got some potentially viral-worthy videos as he came to ;D

umm where can one source some of this deli bal!
the bear got her paws on an excessive amount of deli bal, which has been cultivated by beekeepers in the Black Sea region and the Himalayas for centuries. The substance — also known as bitter honey for its pungent taste — is the result of bees feeding on the pollen of rhododendron flowers. The brightly colored plants carry a natural neurotoxin called grayanotoxin that, when consumed, can induce euphoria, hallucination and intoxication — as the bear quickly came to know.
gotta imagine sales are going through the roof now

WAMU reported today that the DC Council is about to approve "expanded" medicinal MJ, meaning that it will be easier to qualify and access MJ. I really hope they don't make people fill out paperwork for this crap, I don't want my name on any sort of paperwork about MJ as that could impact my job prospects.
That's why I like the current gray area. Lots of competition means good prices and good service from delivery companies. I know that is exactly why the District is "expanding" medicinal MJ. I really hope they put sufficient thought and consideration into this, which of course I doubt happened beyond medicinal license holders bitching and complaining.
-
yeah, was reading they are doing some sort of 'self-attestation' of medical need
i.e. you don't need a doctor note to get medical
But I think they are expanding in to medical, as congress won't allow adult rec sales, so this might be a loop hole around and they can collect taxes (I got to imagine DC lost in the range of 100's of millions of dollars in tax revenue over the last few years...and created a black market)
Medical is always way higher in price. Quality is always there
that they removed this I think is good, mostly because you don't have to pay for a dr visit, which was a sham to begin with
Heck, just go to Mr Nice Guy, about 6 storefronts down from DC9
They have a wall of buds and budtenders will help you find what you need
then you buy some 'art' and they gift you what you want
prices are pretty good IMO
I don't live in DC so delivery isn't really an option.
In related news
https://www.marijuanamoment.net/congress-keeps-ban-on-d-c-marijuana-sales-while-failing-to-act-on-cannabis-banking-and-expungements/
Adding insult to injury, the large-scale spending legislation continues the policy of preventing the District of Columbia from spending its own local tax dollars to legalize adult-use cannabis sales
The ongoing federal blockade and the resulting inability of local officials to enact cannabis sales regulations has led to a proliferation of unlicensed marijuana retailers in the nation’s capital.
-
Short of eliminating the filibuster, which Dems are obviously too cowardly to do, we might not have real recreational MJ in DC for decades. The Senate simply isn't going to have enough GQPers who would be willing to vote to allow DC voters to have real autonomy. And the Dems won't shove it up GQP asses, so here we are.

Also, the delivery services will deliver to bank parking lots or outside restaurants.

glad to here DC is moving forward with that, but residents only :(
The bill creates a permanent version of emergency legislation from June that allows adults to self-certify their eligibility for medical marijuana. The short application, available only to those 21 and older, requires an identification, proof of residency and a photo.
I do love the loophole of Self-certifying your eligibility for medical marijuana!

I don't like this. The only thing worse than this compromise is Mendelson shutting down the entire gray market and using police and federal prosecutors to prosecute delivery services. I don't want my name and photo and personal information on anything in writing with medicinal MJ. Period.
Of course, DC wants to shut down the gray market because it wants the missing tax money and it wants the medicinal license holders to shut up. But the gray market was the best way to handle Congress not allowing us to have fully legal recreational MJ sales. There's competition among sellers for good prices, quality and customer service. It's pretty impressive. People who want licenses to buy can go ahead and get them.
I have a feeling that there will be some gray market delivery services that stick around for the reason I just outlined. DC won't use the police and prosecutors to prosecute them and there will be enough demand to keep them in the market.
And if DC does decide to criminally pursue gray market delivery services, I want these asshats like Kenyan McDuffie and Janeese Lewis George and Brianne Nadeau, who like to throw around the term equity when reducing barriers preventing dangerous DC drivers from renewing their licenses, to stand up and scream equity for the drivers (and other businessmen and women) of these delivery services, who are almost all POC and 99.9% non white.
No matter what Phil Mendolson and the DC Council thinks, no one should be criminally prosecuted for MJ in DC, full stop. If that means there's a gray market, suck it up and deal with it until Dems grow some nuts and fight the riders off a future appropriations bill.
-
Preach and amen
TM-UL speaks the gospel
are they in fact shutting down the gray market and enforcing laws that don’t really exist
The dems really should have used their majority in the house to fix this
There just wasn’t the will and always seems like bigger fish to fry
I hope that mr. Nice guy stays open as that’s exactly what I expect from a retail weed operation
While it will likely impact costs even if there is competition, I do think dc should get their cut in taxes, millions have just gone into the black market with some shady actors involved (because there is a lot of money and you can’t exactly use a bank or file taxes)

I can only imagine the operators in DC will just move into the suburbs.
These laws are so inane. Can't buy or sell, but you can possess, consume and grow (which few will do)? Do you have to be a rocket scientist to see there is a problem with that market dynamic

They're not worried about robberies, carjackings, public urination, whether the trash gets picked up, rampant visible poverty. Nope. Their lives are so good they're pissed off about the smell of marijuana.
Sometimes my neighbor's cigarette smoke wafes over during the warmer months when I can sleep with my window open. It happens once a month. I should probably sue him over this and throw a temper tantrum for the press about how offended I am. Then I would get in the Post and would be made a martyr by all the uptight squares. I'd be a hero.

Who made you the aribter of how much someone should be pissed off about the smell of marijuna? How about I come and take a shit on your living room floor every few hours and let it sit there for awhile before I clean it up? That's what it smells like to me.
And just because someone doesn't partake and is disgusted by the smell doesn't make them an uptight person, it makes them a smart person. Which you clearly are not. Somone who partakes even though they know if bothers their neighbors is a selfish dick. A 78 year old woman shouldn't have to put up with that crap.
From the Post comments section:
Many posts appear to think that the problem with pot smoke is just the malodor. A chemical comparison of tobacco cigarettes emissions with marijuana cigarettes, both of which are burned at red heat, produce most of the same toxic and carcinogenic combustion products, i.e. fine particles, VOCs, and PAHs, in roughly the same amounts. The main difference is nicotine vs. THC. This 96-yr old duplex home has a 3-story cinderblock wall separating the two homes that are owned by different occupants. The house would have to be gutted to seal it properly at great expense, $ which Ms. Josefa who is retired, does not have. Selling a contaminated house would likely result in a huge monetary loss. These are the issues in this case. She is royally screwed.

Who me? My point in citing her age was to ask people to cut her some slack. Completely agree 100% with you about respecting the elderly.
No, not you…my mistake.. I was just making a point I guess and thought someone else had mentioned her age but apparently not

good weed has a great smell, smoked or unsmoked. almost like perfume. the easiest best way to consume weed without smoke is to make tea. just boil water, put a bud in, and let it sit for a couple of hours. it's like an edible though, drink too much and you might wind up in the hospital.
can confirm.
although never tried the Tea route...will have to get back to you on that
so i'll need to refresh myself on stoner organo-chemistry, but i believe that cannabinoids are fat soluble, not water soluble. so you'll do a lot better to heat/cook your weed with some lipids (AKA fats, oils, etc.). that's why the traditional brownie is so effective: the butter and oils in the cake put the THC in solution and make it more bio-available. perhaps add some half-and-half to your tea? also, make sure the tea (and cream) are as hot as possible. might even want to simmer for a few minutes. smoking weed causes the THC to me aerosolized at hundreds of degrees... 212*F water (likely less) isn't going to transform THC as effectively.
like i said, i need to refresh on this... so take it all with a large bud.

So, maybe stupid question.
I'm trying to rein in the alcohol consumption and I was wondering if there are and THC laced drinks that are widely available and also low in sugar. Preferably drinks that could be treated sort of sessiony. Anyone know about anything? That or products that would be used in cocktail production. I guess it might be difficult due to the digestive process for THC, but it's been a thought that I've been having as I've been
self-medicating for certain life and work stresses over the past couple of years.
-
I'd suggest a hoppy refresher and a low dose edible.
-
There are some THC base drinks
most shops in DC have a little fridge with a few. I know Mr. nice guy does
But they’re more like one-time consumption (25-50 msg and higher) and not session-type drinks that you can have three or four night (I guess you could, but I wouldn’t recommend it)
I do think that’s the holy Grail once it becomes legal for businesses to allow consumption on-site
If a bar could serve you four or five THC drinks just one, they would love it
There is liquid you could buy that you could add to an alcoholic drink. I just don’t know how you do it to be a session type vs a pretty heavy, one-time addition
Kind of the key difference between pot and alcohol is
session type isn’t really getting high?
-
Right on, I guess you could really water down a drink like one part razzle-drazzle pipple-pop to like eight parts normal seltzer water or diet soda. A tincture could also work if you knew the acurate dosing per droplet, but I think those are usually advised as sublingual.
I've just always been a one hit wonder when it comes to the weedle-deedle.
Even hanging and jamming with musicians, I could never understand how people do anything while high.
I would try and it would just make everything feel like such a chore. I'd rather just go to sleep.
I've just really been overdoing it. Like, work is more tolerable with a few shots of tequila throughout the day, overdoing it.
Probably not good, right?
I think the genius product is scentless weed.
1.) I used to enjoy the novelty of catching a little whiff of something, but you go places and neighborhoods smell like a sad, dank, basement dorm room.
2.) I mean, how are folks just out there puffing and driving? Like, that's a dead giveaway for a cop to flag someone, no?
I get that you can vape it, but clearly, not enough folks have caught up, or my privilege is showing and how dare I suggest poor folk should afford "medicine" and a delivery route that doesn't impinge on other people's clean air.

I had no idea who you’re talking about but this juicy Wikipedia entry spilled the tea
“
2015 leave of absence and termination
edit
On October 11, 2015, Haden announced Sarkisian would take an indefinite leave of absence. Haden contacted Sarkisian after he learned that Sarkisian had not shown up to a scheduled practice on October 11. During his conversation with Sarkisian, Haden said he became aware that Sarkisian was "not healthy" and asked Sarkisian to take an indefinite leave of absence. Offensive coordinator Clay Helton would serve as interim head coach in Sarkisian's absence.[22][23] ESPN later reported that Sarkisian came to a pre-practice meeting, only to have his assistants tell him to go home when he appeared to be intoxicated.[24] Scott Wolf, the USC beat writer for the Los Angeles Daily News, reported on Twitter that several players smelled alcohol on Sarkisian's breath.[25]
On October 12, Haden announced that Sarkisian had been fired and named Helton as interim head coach for the remainder of the season (the "interim" tag was removed after the season).[26] He subsequently revealed that he had tried to call Sarkisian to notify him personally, but by then Sarkisian was on his way to an out-of-state rehab facility and could not be reached. According to ESPN, Haden had placed Sarkisian on a zero-tolerance policy regarding alcohol use after Sarkisian claimed to have mixed alcohol with medication, despite the fact that he appeared simply to have drunk far too heavily before giving a drunken and profanity-laced speech at a booster club event (Sarkisian apologized after the incident before the 2015 season began). The apparent intoxication at practice would have been grounds for termination.[27] However, multiple reports said that Sarkisian's assistants believed he was drunk during a game against Arizona State.[26]“

I was mostly referencing that last sentence where he brought tequilla to the sideline of the ASU game and was taking shots at timeouts.
Strangely enough, after losing one of the seven blue blood jobs in college football over this, one of the other blue bloods (Texas) actually gave him the head coaching job and he has them in the playoffs which is kinda an amazing redemption story that I never thought he’d been given a chance to.

Oh for sure, but the big seven jobs in college football (Bama, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan) are sort of the places where if you get that job and bomb out or get fired, you never get another of those. Like if he rebounded from this and got the Ole Miss job (a la Lane Kiffin) I wouldn’t raise an eyeball but failing at USC and getting the Texas gig is a wild second act.

I'm from Hawaii, so I have tried mouth numbing mud water. I think the vibe I'm looking for is something more casual and less ritual, relatively flavorful and social... Also, I hate sports. I was a band nerd and never got to take part in any sports due to mild birth defects, except for the period of time where my parents decided that, after a young lifetime of physical inactivity, canoe paddling (Hawaii) would be a good non-contact team sport for my husky, wheezing self to participate in.

Asheville is rife with kava bars. Some guy in Richmond tried to open one but the health department or restaurant regulatory body or whatever it is refused to give him a license. Tough sledding for people who want mouth numbing chill water.

apparently some folks swear by working out stoned. rogan got into it on his podcast a while back, saying how some of his friends won't work out unless under the influence of THC. personally, i'm on the complete opposite end: getting high = zero chance of lifting, 98% chance of couching.
if your question is more about smoking and driving... different risk assessment and tolerance? just like how some folks won't drive if they've had even one drink, while others feel comfortable getting behind the wheel after 2, or 3, or... and just like alcohol, tolerance and amount consumed are part of the equation. did she have a quick small puff, or did she light up a marley?
-
Working out stoned is great, but, the only problem is everyone will know. The smell of it will leach out your pores as you sweat, making you reak the entire workout.
And Space, your wife, like a lot of stoners, knows she drives 100% better while high. It's just the way it is.

yeah, agreed, but different strokes... maybe the "motivational" benefits outweigh the cardio drawbacks, for some?
