Used to love pulling on the plungers like they were pinball machines. Really wanted to smoke too.

I'd grow up, try cigarettes, and fortunately the nicotine high was not for me. Harder drugs only.

Japan sells beer in vending machines that don't do age verification

neat

Ray, did you see 60 bucks I had sitting here?

Austria still has those but you need an austrian bank or id card to unlock them.

Any smoke/beer vending machine ive seen has always been in an establishment you need to be 21 to enter (bars/clubs) and they check ID at the door

Scronge? That sounds nasty. You should see a doctor.

THC affects you much differently when it's metabolized by the liver first, instead of going directly into the blood stream.

That was my first time with weed. Wife did a extraction and then we both split it on ice cream. We ended up almost unconscious and puking everywhere. Took me a year to try again.

I guess i should try that again.. ive done butter and coconut oil extractions, neither did shit for me.

But then again I've only had potent weed gummies work for me one time ever, and that was 100mg, a dose that is both expensive and no longer does the job. I take 5mg for sleep sometimes and that works but I dont get anything fun out of any of it. I keep hearing stories of people being knocked on their ass and I want that!

In my experience smoking vastly increases your tolerance for edibles. If you only eat edibles then you need much less to be effective.

I only started trying weed in my late 30's and vaping/smoking it just does not appeal at all, so edibles it is.

I have tried a few different kinds now from different vendors and I can tell you that there's a lot of variance out there. I'm was hoping I'd be able to dial in my "ideal" dose but 20mg from one vendor will absolutely send me while 20mg from another does precisely fuck all.

I know if you smoke/vape it you can dial in your ideal much more carefully but 🤢

For people who dont smoke, 5-10mg of edibles is still a really bad time. I'm constantly having to remind my smoker friends of this when they're advising first timers.

You're absolutely right to push back on this. 20mg was not the recommended dose, after all. Google is an excellent source of reliable information and it's always best to consult with a search engine any time you're researching recreational drug use.

Or better yet, actually have lived a little as a teen when you were young enough to bounce back quickly and easily and known by adulthood exactly what your limits are and what dose will give you the best time.

But failing that, for the people who waited til adulthood to remove the stick from their asses, yes, there are many ways to learn what you should start with, among them: asking the people who sold it to you (they have a vested interest in making sure you have a good time so you'll buy more), asking the people you're doing it with (they probably removed the sticks from their asses long enough ago to have some idea what's what), and yes, even Googling it.

Libertarian-ass response. "If you get yourselves fucked up using our product, you simply should have known better".

10mg does nothing for me and I don't wanna eat a whole bag of sugar to get medicated so I actually hate this

Not for me. I've overloaded on edibles for sleep and every single time it just leaves me lying awake in bed with my thoughts

I don't find it too surprising really. Alcohol is over on the "good" side of the list (despite having a godawful safety profile.)

Give them time. They're too busy harassing trans kids and trying to re-criminalize cannabis to notice right now.

And I gave a senior an extra buck behind the convenience store to grab a pack for me when he was grabbing packs for the other kids that had also done the same. I remember one of them was rolling joints and I probably could have bought one of those, too, while I was there, or maybe even something harder.

So the law didn't stop me from getting smokes despite no machine being involved but it did give me reason to be in contact with people who could get a bunch of other things, too.

Fuck. Them. Kids.

If their useless parents can't parent them, that's the parents' failing. Flavored vapes and flavored cigarettes absolutely should not be banned, that was the top of a slippery slope and the people who'll gleefully go sledding down it should be openly mocked for their pathetic desires to Disnify the real world by everyone literate enough to know that the bottom of that slope is prohibition style gang wars. Nobody who wants to make something completely inaccessible to adults is interested in "protecting children", they're interested in controlling adults.
