Getting high

you're confusing marijuana's acute effects with its realized effects.

the "acute effects" are the silly things like giggling, tripping over, not being able to get work done. they happen to casual or first-time users.

people who smoke regularly, however, only get the realized effects(casuals get the acute and the realized but often cannot overcome the initial, acute effects), the effects that help you transcend your thinking, enjoy life, etc.
This. There isn't anything I can't do while using marijuana. It is a natural mental and physical state for me. 44, been a daily smoker since high school.

Wouldn't the "realized effects" just be a result of dependency? Marijuana has cery obvious and well documented neurological effects, anything beyond that though is just a result of your dependency and the relief that comes when you get it.

my gf and I are thinking about buying buying an 1/8 each rolling two blunts and heading back down to the coast. Shit was amazing last weekend. Sat out there with a cooler of good beer and a few bowls stayed out there and watched the sun set.

In my experience it's not physically addictive. It is really easy to stop or not use it, as opposed to cigarettes or alcohol. Both physically addictive drugs

Agreed. Progress needs to be made on this front:

These should come in "T.H.C." It's only a matter of time before someone makes a 300 million dollars on this.

Wouldn't a vaporizer be good enough?

The e-cig is a vaporizer, and there are portable vaporizers you can buy for between maybe 80-250 bucks. They get as small as sharpie pens I think. It would be interesting to see cheap disposable electronic marijuana cigarettes, though, like the Blu's they sell at Walgreens/CVS now.

They already do, dispensaries in cali sell disposable ones im pretty sure


Also, lol at all the construction workers smoke comments

I can honestly say that I was more productive when high at work. Coworkers can definitely attest to that. That being said, I don't do it at work anymore. Felt like I was wasting it for some reason because of the environment.

To the OP - pot, shmot, whatever.

Just be sure not to take opiates when someone eventually offers them to you. Totally different game.

Perfect for when weed becomes legal in "wherever"....it doesnt disturb others and you can even use it indoors no worries.

I still love my joints and all, but sometimes the Vape is needed.

No it was popular, chill And awesome. It was the complete opposite of gaf as a whole. No one fought, people posted music And gifs.. Wonderful
 
In my experience, the MFLB is really great the first 10-20 times you use it, but after that it's shit. I guess it's good for someone who doesn't smoke that often, but for regulars it just doesn't get the job done. There's no substitute for a good bong rip.

This is the greatest piece of marijuana technology I've ever used/purchased. I've had it for over 2 years and it has become my primary method of getting high. I've weaned myself off conventional smoking about 95%.

Portable, stealthy, efficient, and most of all healthy (compared to smoking). Cant beat it.
 
I've reprogrammed Cisco routers, configured complex software, and written solid code while high. I don't smoke at work, but sometimes you get called at night to fix something and you're baked. One difference between weed and booze is that you're acutely aware that you're high. So I double-check all sorts of stuff when I'm high that I wouldn't if I were sober.

ahh yes it's great for coding. At home that is.

Don't know if its my batteries, but I've had the same experience.
The MFLB, barely does anything to me. Even when I first got it, it was t that great. Need to get new batteries.

Wondering what you guys weekly/monthly budget is on the herb.
Between my girl and I we spend an average of $30 a week. We try to just stick to glass, so small amounts last.
How bout y'all?


Edit: I know people that'll spend $10 a day every day, for a blunt. Why they don't buy in bulk, I don't understand.

Depends on what kind of week I have goin on or what. If it'll be super stressful or I have something coming up I want to be high for I can buy in a larger bulk from my housemate or buy from shops here in sf, usually for edibles and wax/hash/pre rolled joints.

Average is $30 a week, median is $60 and largest is $135/160

I do most things when I'm high and function normally, unless it's one of those days where I've been binging.

Sometimes though it does slow me down and I back track a lot which can't be good.

I used to work in a restaurant waitering and we'd all get high in our breaks, and now, well now I teach...it's fun making paper aeroplanes all day with my kids...

Don't smoke it anymore, but when I did I usually got it for free from my friends dad, who grew amazing hydroponic weed. There were a few dry spells where my friends and I had to buy an 8th of Mexi dirt weed for about 35 bucks. Seeds and stems, blech.

People still smoke blunts? That cigar paper is awful.

I'm surprised people don't know that getting high as fuck and working construction is the normal way of things. Everyone knows this.

I used to spend about 40pounds (GBP) a day when I was fully on it.
Then I used to buy ounces at a time in the thought that I'd spend less and be able to regulate my smoking.

Didn't work.
