May the force be with you.

Hope you don't have to work too hard.

It's a shame we couldn't have the whole Cannabis forum here right now to relax and chill out together...

But my hillbilly state just got around to approving it for certain medical purposes. We may never get it approved for recreational use.

Keep advocating for legalization. It may happen before you know it.

just a matter of time and states running out of ways to easily raise money...

Willy Nelson who lives in Spicewood outside of Austin does cannabis all the time

a lot, isn't it? Lol party on down Aristus!

I haven't had a vacation in four years, so some time off is just what the doctor (I mean, Physician Assistant) ordered...

You will become a filthy criminal the moment you cross the stateline.

here today, how is it in your neck of the woods?

My kind of day.

Haven't tried caramels yet. Usually it's chocolate or brownies.

The packaging only disclosed the dosage.

I usualy get hybrids or indica cuz I like the body effect more than a head high. But each to his own. Enjoy.

But at any rate, I've got a good one going right now...

I usually pass on heavy indicas ...I don't want to feel like that I want the head stuff but as you say we each enjoy our own......

so I could sleep better. About 3 months ago I met a person who was vaping in the park and I tried it. It knocked me for a loop and it was a surprise. When I needed to get more Indica (top shelf) at my local shop I went and asked about vaping. I bought a disposable one with India and WHAT A DIFFERENCE from smoking a joint, bong or pipe. I don't know why. It makes me cough but it knocks me out and I actually can sleep. I did the math and it is actually cheaper than getting weed. I have no idea why. The pros at the shop say people are different. If there was proper support scientifically from the federal govt we would be able to break it down and have specific amounts of the various chemicals in pot and their intensity and effects.

the sick people and kids we are lately finding out now can be helped , cbd oil benefits - my cat got cbd oil near the end at a vets suggestion. She said about 2 years ago she wants to tell everyone now about its anti inflammatory benefits it is a mj sup that does not get you high -no thc .

If it had been 5 yrs ago it would not have been that available or at all even though it has no thc content ,and he would have endured more inflammation without an easy fix. I know a couple people never smoked didn't want to get high but they illegally got pot years ago while in cancer treatments and it helped . This is at least now often available in a pharma form but back then nah people suffered

This is all besides just the folks who already were using and could have used cleaner stuff not full of pesticides etc. now the stuff at least is clean and knowledge is becoming more open so just like the different qualities of fine wine and where the grapes are grown is known and you get to know your stuff and what you like.

dogs with arthritis. I went to the place I get mine from and got wax and gave my 7 pound dog about the amount the size of a grain of rice. She could barely stand up and she looked like she was going to die. I took her to the emergency pet hospital and they had to keep her overnight and they called my regular vet who gave me a talk about it. Since then a large dispensary has opened up and they have a whole line of pet products with the details on the packages. If I ever consider trying it again for my dog I am asking her regular vet first.

It's in a skin cream what we used rubbed on open area (tip of ear was our choice )and cbd does not produce any 'high' because no thc
Please consult a vet that knows dosing and this is not meant to replace a vet but just a read and this was not the product I used but this has an explanation

She said it helps the poor old guy. He's almost 20 and has a pretty bad case of arthritis and it helps him to get the rest he needs and gives him a break from the pain.

You don't know the strain.
Everything else tho is good about edibles.
but 20 mg would put me down for ...well, however long of a time it would be...

And I'm bouncing around the house doing chores...

I just want to rest on the couch with indica, not do a bunch of housework.

But no problems so far...

go beyond stimulation but sort of pass for temporary enhancement imo
Going back and looking over things when not under the influence only confirm but you can't be walking around like that all the time cuz wear you out whether physical or mental & that's not good . Some people do too much imo probably the same with indica I imagine you don't want to melt into the couch and stay there either

be asleep in three hours, LOL!

funny you should mention it...

So, last weekend we had dinner with friends who also like to imbibe. (Nicely here in Washington where it's all legal! 👍 . The plan was to have a fun Dutch oven dinner cooked over bonfire coals. It was delicious!

They had an mj vape device - my first time. No biggie. It uses mj oil, I believe.

Well, apparently, they also put mj oil in the Dutch oven banana bread, which I didn't quite catch... and I stuffed that sucker down.

Within an hour I was catatonic. I figured it was from the vape. I was paranoid all night long trying to sleep; felt like a psychotic break of some sort! Still thought it was the vape.

In the morning, I heard husband say he was hungover and he "reminded" me about the b. bread. Good thing they are good friends!

It's now Friday. I'm just starting to come out of the brain fog! Headache and nausea all week! I'm a relatively small person, and I know I can't eat too much in baked goods from prior experience.

Any thoughts when it will clear, or ever experienced this? Haven't imbibed all week - feel like I might be off thc for awhile!

Enjoy your day, anyway, Aristus!

I stuck with edibles and sub-lingual sprays. But they took too long to get going.

S I purchased a couple of joints. They worked pretty fast, but the high was here and gone in about 30 minutes. It just wasn't worth inhaling all that smoke.

So I'm sticking to candy. I just start early enough on a day off that it wears off by the time I need to actually do anything...

idea.

Have you ever heard of a week-long mj hangover?

Any hints on alleviating it if it happens?

....but to get off the high (if its unpleasant) drink some orange juice...the sugar brings you down.

No - no hints. It's not been fun. Water and sleep seem to be the best help.

Have a fun day and weekend!

I appreciate it.

I'll have an orange this morning (no juice and too far out in the sticks to easily pick up). I feel nauseous in the mornings, so no appetite. And no, at 63, it's not morning sickness -

My brother Aristus, not fucking around! Go big or go home baby!

nearly every day since.

I've got the whole day today, so I'm going to make the most of it...

I took the risk on 4/20 and had a couple bowls. It was wonderful. Can't wait for it to be legal nationwide so I can go back to being a pothead!

Very soon, I hope...

When influential Republicans like John Boehner start investing in the business, you know they're going to drag other Repubs out of the Dark Ages before too long.

I give it three to five years.

...the cookies were bright green. I ate part of one and nearly greened out. They were about 250 each. I tossed them ( safely and dog resistant) away.

That's drug abuse! And drug abuse is a crime!

Used to be able to get these wicked 420 mg bars at the dispensary. But recreational rules forbade such dosage. The bar was scored 6 ways, 70 mg each. A very fine all day dose.

It makes me wish everyone in the world could chill for a little bit, stop killing one another, listen to some good music, and re-gain our humanity...

yes, I was joking earlier in the week...I wonder if I will experience a permanent personality change? For example, I found myself listening more to music!

Seriously...I've been slightly high all week!

Will request it the next time I go because I love a similar flavored yogurt.

But I can't smoke it. It hurts my lungs, and the high doesn't last long enough.

Welcome to DU!

Oh boy. Never did it but it seems like thats going to be an experience. Dont drive anywhere.

I'm housebound for the day...

Right on Rasta Man.

are you?...... ...a little there, too?...

right now I'm more like this


or close to it. Will I never learn not to do some things during the day??

It's nearly lunchtime anyway...

But the effect is fading. I actually got a lot done today, including an hour of cardio. I guess in order to achieve mellow, I need to try a different strain...

to starting point ....and no crash either if you are lucky !

I just kind of gently touched feet to Earth again...

because I don’t have a “card”. I’m envious! But, I regularly buy CBD caramels at a local dispensary and they are lovely. There are so many uses for CBD and I’m grateful I can at least get that. Enjoy your evening!

Cannabis shops are like liquor stores. You just walk in, show your ID to the guy at the door, and then take your pic of merchandise. There are always knowledgable and helpful clerks behind the counter to help you make your purchase.

are in Spokane this weekend for a baseball tournament. Sounds like I should have been the parent that went along instead of staying home with the pet menagerie. Sheesh. 3 short hours away. 🙄

I’m the hippie try anything once gal. Those two sit back and roll their eyes. My dog’s dentist is in Spokane. Mama will have her day! 😜

Hope you had a nice trip

Only have one more caramel anyway.

Next time, I'll get the sublingual spray again.

Led me to the same conclusion. I am ok w CBD but the THC s way too good. Ill add that I have smoked nothing but the best bud for decades and the new edibles are a challenge.

I’m very interested in edibles...I can’t smoke. What’s your take?

Did get a cool vape pipe and process my own grown when ever I feel the urge. Otherwise I have found CBD products, sprays, edibles, and salves, helpful for what all ails me. At my age I have numerous ails.

I said upthread my cat was on it for inflammation . I am so glad it was availble

for sleep for me. No more ambien, melatonin etc. Topical CBD with lavender and other essential oils for aches and pains are also must haves in our house. I’m super curious about CBD for your cat???? How did you administer that? My kitty, Louis, would eat me alive if I tried to slip that by him.

but there are edible treats and tincture drops too
depends on what it's used for

what’s possible with CBD for pets. Thank you for the nudge.

The plant itself is safe.

The tinctures, creams, soaps, etc. are not safe for cats.

Thanks to everyone reading this fyi post.

You’re correct. Stick to products formulated for pets. Run it by your vet if not sure.

Sativa users in the minority among folks I know.
I always ask why not but they usually answer by telling why indica or some diom hybrid is wanted

But there was the fear that it wouldn't dissipate when I wanted it to. That's okay; I'm back down to Earth now...

Capsule is a.......damn I can't remember

But it tastes like blackberry

Now if I can remember where I put it.........
