somebody complained about this on the "rolling cannabis politics thread" but it's been posted on nearly every pot thread with great fanfare so i feel like this thread needs to have it too:

i have no idea but guessing half...every night and i got a big problem!

Iago Galdston, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:15 (ten years ago) link

how is that possible?

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:18 (ten years ago) link

i voted!

surm, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:22 (ten years ago) link

i'm telling you, mordy, i don't know how much an ounce is so i could be way off. i don't smoke a huge amount each night, but i don't drink, stopped emotional eating, and quit smoking cigs three months ago. thus, i vape. like clockwork.

Iago Galdston, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:37 (ten years ago) link

and you're vaping too! there's no way you're vaping half an ounce a night. that's just insane.

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:39 (ten years ago) link

like standard vape bowl, you'd probably have to grind and refill at least 10+ times in an evening to use half an ounce (i am completely making these numbers up but they sound right to me)

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:40 (ten years ago) link

think u have to face the possibility that you are being outstoned here

Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Friday, 16 May 2014 15:42 (ten years ago) link

there are for sure ppl who smoke much more than me. i'm just surprised at that much per evening.

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:44 (ten years ago) link

oh no! i do two standard vape bowls a night! sorry, i was way off

Iago Galdston, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:45 (ten years ago) link

it's affecting my work though so eventually i have to cut back

Iago Galdston, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:45 (ten years ago) link

where is "all of it" option

Οὖτις, Friday, 16 May 2014 15:46 (ten years ago) link

Yeah "what's available" option again

sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Friday, 16 May 2014 15:51 (ten years ago) link

there's no option for "none, but i wish it was more b/c i have kids or not enough time or not enough friends to smoke with or buy from"

getting a medical marijuana card has made getting regularly supplied with cheap weed such a easy thing it's unbelievable. I stop by the one run by a former neighbor maybe once a month, stock up and I'm in and out in like 15 minutes on my way home from work. it's nuts.

Οὖτις, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:07 (ten years ago) link

I average about 1.5 joints a day.. kinda too much. my soon to by wife is quitting her job next year so should probably cut that in half.. =(

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:09 (ten years ago) link

yea medical is coming to MA soon. laws passed but it hasn't been implemented. how easy is it to get a card? (asking those of you in states that already have an infrastructure.) assuming you don't have an illness that actually would be helped be MM, what does it take to get a card?

marcos, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:11 (ten years ago) link

i think it differs by state. i know NJ has much more rigid requirements for MM than CA. i'm not sure what the MA law looks like.

Mordy, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:12 (ten years ago) link

i.e. what's the threshold? if you go in vaguely talking about migraines or anxiety or whatever, do you get asked lots of questions?

marcos, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:13 (ten years ago) link

about an eighth, tho on holidays that goes up.

clouds, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:18 (ten years ago) link

often none, quite a lot this week

Grown-ass people need a place to buy weed.

how's life, Friday, 16 May 2014 18:38 (ten years ago) link

can none of you thwarted smokers not grow yr own?

when i first started buying/smoking on the reg, my main drug buddy at the rec shop where we both worked would always help out one of our middle aged toker/customers to score small amounts of decent weed. He didn't do it for personal gain, but out of a sense of smoking-karmic-togetherness, and that's always stuck w/ me.

i am now that middle aged toker and eternally grateful to the young scamps who help me out w decent weed etc.

so cultivate the young, and do other ppl something kind, when you can

I have legit issues (imo) but the doc I got my card from didn't ask too many questions, it took maybe an hour all told.

Οὖτις, Friday, 16 May 2014 18:51 (ten years ago) link

and of course the shop I go to now is run by a guy I used to live next door to, he doesn't even look at my card

Οὖτις, Friday, 16 May 2014 18:51 (ten years ago) link

currently sitting at the "none"/"pretend toke" level but I had been doing about 1/8th to 1/4 a week (smoking a bowl or two every day by myself, occasional rollups w/ friends) until I dropped it for New Year's

endzone selfie (bernard snowy), Friday, 16 May 2014 19:49 (ten years ago) link

... now taking probably 3000 mg/day of "omega fatty acids", though

endzone selfie (bernard snowy), Friday, 16 May 2014 19:52 (ten years ago) link

Iago: a half-ounce is like $150-300 of weed (depending on quality), there is no way you're smoking that on yr own in a night unless you're rolling fat blunts and hotboxing the basement

endzone selfie (bernard snowy), Friday, 16 May 2014 19:58 (ten years ago) link

none right now, waiting for the day they legalize it in TX

nitro-burning funny car (Moodles), Friday, 16 May 2014 20:04 (ten years ago) link

Hey Bernard, thanks for the info. I'm going to ask the dude next time what the weight or whatever is of what I'm buying. I get like 400 bucks worth every couple weeks so it sounds like I may be doing 1/2 ounce a week? I do a phone service--I text, they call me when they are nearing my corner, I get in their car and do the transaction.

Iago Galdston, Friday, 16 May 2014 20:07 (ten years ago) link

Is the weed noticeably better in California? I wonder where mine in Brooklyn comes from!

lol, i.e. it's not the case that my wife and landlord would be so psyched to see me grow plants that i would have none left for myself

if I had a backyard I would grow it but indoor growing = gtfo such a hassle

the actual buds that have today are super potent and have awesome flavors so i have no need for dabbing. Vape pens however are super convenient and discreet so i usually have one of those handy to supplement the bud.

i mostly get stuff from these dudes and it's insane

i haven't seen a roving horde of weedsmokers but i can't imagine it would be any more of an annoyance than the roving horde of drunk people who yell Woo

so super fucking annoying then?

Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 1 November 2017 16:30 (six years ago) link

haha yeah, but the unstated part of that was that i rarely see the drunk Woo people, and when i do it's because i'm in a part of town late at night with a lot of bar, or at a baseball game. so even though they are very annoying, it ends up being a tiny bit of life, easily avoided. and i'm guessing that the coughing weedbros are even rarer of a sight. like maybe avoid pearl street in boulder and watch out if you're walking around the 420 Den in denver but other than that...

however, i am willing to be convinced of the existence of hordes of street prowling weedbros! basically i'm saying can i be shown pics of weirdos who might love...i can't finish this. i try to join in on pun culture in ILX but i can't. 420 forever.

I don't know what ums is envisioning, but my experience in legal states is not roaming packs of weedbros, but people stepping out of a bar to have a drag or two on a pen, or passing a small pipe for a minute before a show, or getting really wild by puffing a joint before getting on the bus after work.

I swear I saw/smelled LESS public weed smoking after it was legalized in WA than before. But I smelled unsmoked weed a lot more, like the guy in line in front of you at the grocery store who obviously had an incredibly smelly bud in his jacket. I moved to a medical-only state this summer and see much more casual public smoking here for sure.

My (university) students also all seemed to stop wearing obvious weed-related clothing - it wasn't edgy to have a shirt that with a pot leaf or the word DAB on it anymore, so it was like wearing a shirt that said BEER on it and expecting everyone to be stoked about it.

There were a ton more people who used it and were open about it though, like older people who hadn't smoked in years, or some of my wife's grad students who were super nerds and had never used it before but would casually mention how they all had edibles and a bottle of wine and watched a movie over the weekend.

joygoat, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 19:33 (six years ago) link

like older people who hadn't smoked in years,

i respect this crowd and i also feel so sorry for them. they wanted to smoke, obviously, but didn't want to deal with the hassle of finding it and/or didn't want to break the law. i understand this lawful approach but think about how many really boring saturday nights could have been at least slightly mitigated

In the Kingdom of Bhutan, cannabis is so prolific that it is seen as a pest, and is fed to pigs rather than being used by humans for fibre or intoxicant purposes. Bhutan lacks a close connection with the plant. However, there is some evidence of traditional use, and use in modern times is increasing.

people of bhutan, do what you think is best, but...you should consider establishing a close connection with this plant

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 19:49 (six years ago) link

I had a stamp of Bhutan once when I was young. It was my prize possession, along with a stamp of Brunei. Bhutan with they happiness index, Brunei with its sultan as richest person in the world. Before Bill Gates ran away with that.

Pigs being high has got to count for something though, right? That could lead to happiness.

From a retail store without a prescription?

Moodles, Wednesday, 1 November 2017 22:04 (six years ago) link

In June we still needed a "medical card," which could be arranged online for a trifling fee from a very cooperative "doctor" in less than an hour.

As I understand it, that step won't be necessary starting in January.

Careful with that Ax, Emanuel (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 1 November 2017 22:37 (six years ago) link

stores will be legal, not sure how many will be ready to go on the 1st of January

(in LA, it's hard to go too many blocks without seeing a sign for a weed doctor: walk in, pay c.$30, get prescription valid for 1 year. some will require proof of in-state address.)
