    So like… I don’t need my preferred substance to get through the day. I think all the days I go without it kind of prove that.

    But sometimes I just am done dealing with the week and want to spend my remaining free time smoking a bowl and listening to Sci fi and fantasy lore videos so I can pretend I’m chilling somewhere near the Anduin or on the holodeck.

    Damn, if holodecks became real, humanity is basically over.

      100%. Except I’ve moved completely on to edibles. My supply last 20x longer and my lungs don’t feel like an ash tray.

      Learning how to make your own edibles was the best move I’ve made in a long time. Just pop a couple after dinner, and it hits guaranteeably after the kids go to bed, and I get to enjoy the rest of the evening just relaxing.

      Edit: Gummies. I make gummies.

          Have you tried saying the magic words “these edibles ain’t shit” after half an hour?

          In seriousness, that’s odd that edibles don’t do much for you. I wonder if it’s a dosage issue or if there’s something different about your digestive system. I guess the former implies the latter…

            Yeah, I’ve bakes my own with 2oz’s, made my own butter, tried legal tinctures, had cannabeers, and was gonna try some pill form.

            Apparently you can be missing the enzyme to properly break it down in the stomach? An I must have that cause I’ve tried every dosage under the sun :(.

        Personally I vape, but I do like edibles. I need to stop vaping as mY primary source, I’ve been noticing a decrease in lung capacity beyond what covid did. I did not enjoy biking long distance last week.

        I’m pretty good at baking, and have always wanted to try my hand at making edibles, but I think I’d rather try and find some chocolate chips or butter or something that I can use in a normal recipe first. I make a mean chocolate chip cookie.

          I highly highly highly recommend making gummies instead. I purchased gummy molds so I know EXACTLY how much I’m dosing. They take like 10 minutes to make (but a couple days to dry). You can’t burn them, and if you fuck anything up, you can just remelt and pour again.

          You can you make a half cup of oil last like 2months. Do it with the right weed, you have a clean, consistent, amazing high.

        Edibles don’t work for me or I would definitely switch at least partly. I just get tired and way too high at high doses and nothing from low doses.

      Yep. Same here. Except weed gives me panic attacks. But I just had (am having) the worst Monday ever and I am the boss at my job and since I’m having the worst Monday ever I said fuck it, put my phone on do not disturb and started day drinking… Basically told my service manager it’s all in your hands today and he knew exactly what I meant. Now I’m floating around in my pool with a beer in hand and saying fuck it. I’ll regret it tomorrow, but that’s a future me problem, not mine. I wish tomorrow me good luck.

          It helps but it still makes me panic. I was an everyday smoker for years and then after one really bad mushroom trip (out of a hundred) I can’t handle it anymore at all. It’s like something got rewired that night and I’ll never be the way I was before.
