Getting high

Surface of Me

Surface of Me

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
I smoke and drive fairly often, mostly just fast food runs. It is easier when you have someone in the passenger seat as well, but driving for the most part is such an autonomous activity it doesn't effect me that much.

Yea I did it once when I thought I was sober and had to get home. I did not like it at all. It was hard for me to stay in lanes and I felt paranoid like I would hit something the entire time. Very tense, scared drive.

That's how it is for me. Just the fact that I'm stoned makes me think something could go wrong. I stopped driving stoned years ago because of it.

Tolerance is at a level now that I feel confident I can do anything stoned. I love driving stoned, getting my gear changes perfectly and listening to the engine rev.

Probably been done to death but does anyone find the usage, appearance and aesthetic of pocket vapes kind of unappealing? I've been interested in one for a while for all the reasons listed a few pages ago, but the things look... sort of infantile, like juice boxes, and it puts me off. It's not an image thing though.. I like using bong and spliff for the ritual; the pocket vape just gives me an uneasy feeling everytime I've seen a dude sucking away on the lanyard ones in public... looks like it would be too easy to use it compulsively when you don't have to set aside much time or effort.

I dunno though, maybe I'm just projecting my level of self-control.

I'm loving pocket vapes. Mostly because you can use it on a windy day without the need of a lighter. It was a savior when I went mountain hiking the other night.

Anyone have any penvape recommendations? is there such a thing without oil or wax?

As a guy who use to smoke and drive like it eas my job 10 years ago let me advise you that you drive like a jackass stoned even though you think you do not.

Either too slow or reactions suck. But trust me, if somebody drove behind you and taped you, you'd wince.

i've commuted to school high, at first it was buggin me out just because i felt like i was driving 90 when i was actually going 50. but after a few times I've gotten used to it, just relax and feel the music reverberating through my whole body. its pretty sweet.

I tend to drive a bit slow sometimes but I have gotten used to it so it doesn't happen often. I have driven stoned with someone sober next to me couple of times and they always tell me I'm driving fine. Like I said, depends on the person. I do notice it more when high that people are terrible drivers.

Yeah, I've had people follow me to places while stoned, they said nothing and the only thing that has ever really happened was losing my way.

That has happened to me a few times. I lose my sense of direction and I'm just lost and have no idea how to get to where I need to except by taking the longest way possible. That does suck lol. But I have gotten a GPS so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

I've got about two bowls left in my grinder. Time to hit up the store again.
Yesterday was hash Wednesday, but hopefully they've still got some earwax left over. I love that shit.
Last strain I got was Ghost OG, it was pretty decent. I might just get it again.

My tolerance is so high, though, that I basically require some pretty decent hash to even get anywhere close to a stoned feeling. 2 bowls of nothing but cannabis just gives me a mild sedative buzz for 45 minutes or so.

i have something to say.

i live right next to a university. the alley behind my house is always PACKED with 18-20 year old kids smoking weed. possession is legal in my state, but what they're doing is illegal. you can't smoke weed outside and you have to be 21, and none of these fools are.

growing up as an alleyway pot smoker, where we had to run and hide constantly, i find myself very jealous of these kids. i go out on my porch to smoke a cigarette and i'm like WHATS GOING ON HERE!?!. i dunno. the new reality is strange.

i walked out there the other night at like 2AM, with my landlord (who wants to tell them to get the fuck away). landlord accosts these people and is like, you cant be here, this is illegal, blah blah blah, and i was supposed to be backing him up. instead i was like HEY LET ME HIT THAT BONG BITCH. which i did.

I live in Colorado and it feels good to smoke in public. Nothing has changed, though. I'm still just as likely to be arrested for doing so as I was last year, despite even being a medical patient.

There was a certain amount of excitement to "technically" be able to walk down Colfax Ave with a joint in my hand, but it certainly doesn't "feel" any more legal right now than it did six months ago.

Nobody in Colorado gave a shit if you smoked in public six months ago, anyway, and now it's only more culturally acceptable.

Maybe Colorado is different but I was in WA a few months ago and people were smoking everywhere on Capitol Hill. The outsides of bars, sidewalks, everywhere. No fucks were given. I don't think I could do it haha.

I don't like to smoke cannabis in highly public areas for the same reason I do not like to smoke cigarettes in the same place.
It's disrespectful to others, the smell and all. I like to remove myself from crowds when doing either of those things. Just a personal choice.

I am, however, glad to be able to legally smoke cannabis in my own home for my own personal enjoyment.

Can't say that I've noticed the same change here, really.

Behavior as usual, only now it's technically legal.

Although obviously Denver was the first city in the entire country to legalize possession back in 2005 and there are more dispensaries around for medicinal use than Starbucks, so really this whole legalization thing was just business as usual.

I picked up some stuff right before I left for vacation. I got back last night and hoo boy, is it potent. Way better than the last batch I had.

I watched the Master for the second time and was pretty much just in a trance for 2 hours while watching.

Hahaha fucking lol I would have too!

How long until it's legal in all states? Decriminalized completely? I say 10 years more or less but I'm not sure.

CNN Gets Drivers Stoned In This Hilarious Video

http://youtu.be/dw1HavgoK9E

Nobody's sicker of 'pot culture' than I am, but you have to admit that our country's weird problem with the drug is way over the top. I think that's what makes pot culture people so annoying - weed just isn't that interesting a drug, but it has this dumb outlaw image due to nonsensical laws.

That's sort of changing, with some states finally legalizing weed (at least until the Feds, in their infinite War on Drugs wasteful wisdom, decide to come stormtrooping in). Legalization leaves one big question: how much pot is too much pot to drive?

It turns out you need to be REALLY FUCKING STONED to impair your driving. This CNN video is amazingly hilarious from start to finish, but it also proves that even people whose blood blow past the legal limit by big multipliers can drive pretty okay. Let's put it this way - if you were seven times over the legal alcohol limit you'd be courting death. At seven times the legal limit this one stoner chick in the video drives kind of poorly.

The whole video is great. The girl involved in the test shows up already stoned. The test is unable to get interesting results by making the participants smoke a bowl, so they have them smoke three bowls. They end up smoking so much that the girl who is stoned all the time says she feels way stoned. The old guy has the best line: "I don't know if I can get much more stoned." And that's the point when everybody starts having trouble driving.

Fox has already optioned this clip for a movie.

French Inhale is easy in theory, a little tricky in practice, you hold the smoke in your mouth, then push it out with your tongue, while inhaling throuh your nose, it takes some practice, but I was able to learn it in a session.

I picked up a gram of earwax, as well as a 300mg chocolate rasberry habenero edible (which was so fucking delicious, the spicy flavor completely covered up the taste of the medicine). I'm having trouble reading the label of the cannabis, girl has shitty handwriting and I forgot which strain I bought off the top of my head. Looks like "Durban something" can't make out the second word. It's a Sativa.

It's been a few months since I've picked up some good ol' Sour D, but it's a standby of mine. I might get some next time.

EDIT: I looked it up on Google, it's 'Durban Poison'. Haven't tried it yet, hope it's decent.

Also pretty simple. Let out a burst of smoke. Push it out with your tongue or if you're ripping something really milky, just open your mouth. When enough smoke escapes, close your mouth momentarily, then swoop in and suck it back up.

Just focus like one smoking session on it. If you're blazing with a buddy, ask him/her if they can do it. If they can, have em show you how. If they can't, figure it out together.
