How is it? The album I mean.
Didn't think of that. Found it at a local one for even less than internet. Thanks! Got a second job interview and possible drug test on Monday. What a relief.

Album is excellent, even while sober. After a toke, the album is like a freaking journey through alien worlds. It's a very distinct tonal shift from their previous stuff, and while there's been some contention over it, I maintain it's an excellent album especially while high, haha.
goddamnit you just made me sad that i can't get high and listen to RAM
i reeeeeeeeeeeeally hope i get a job sooner than later because i miss weed. i never crave for weed, but i'd give anything to get high, listen to RAM, and inhale everything in my fridge.
Get synthetic urine? I'm going to smoke up this weekend since I wont be passing my test anyway lol. Unless you get hair tested. that sucks.
You guys ever have a panic attack after smoking?
So...last Monday I had a huge job interview, rocked it like usual, and was offered the job on the spot. Better job than my current one and more $$. So of course I took it. The company had me come in last Friday (1 week ago) to fill out all the paperwork (tax forms, background check, etc.) and get my drug test papers to take my test on Saturday. I hadn't smoked for a while, and I work out often (minimum of 4x a week).
No problem, right? I was confident i was clean. Well I didn't know exactly how long it had been since my last toke, but I was still all too eager to smoke again after taking the piss test. So after smoking a nice bowl of high-grade hydro, I started looking through some texts between a friend & I and figured out that it only had been 3wks, maybe a few days more, since my last session.
OH SHIT! A panic attack ensued because I had already given my current employer the 2wk notice and they weren't happy. If I failed the drug test, then I'd be out of 2 jobs.....And seeing how I had just smoked, there's no way I'd be able to pass another piss test. FUCK!! Total panic attack...my first ever. LOL.
it was all for naught as my test came back clean, and I start my new job on Monday.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
You can get cleansers, but you have to follow the instructions, timing and all.
Cleansers for hair? I assume you mean urine right? i feel like synthetic is much safer and dependable.
Surface of Me

I meant urine, and I disagree entirely. Too much can go wrong with synthetic.
What can go wrong? Everything I read about cleansers make it sound hit or miss. As long as I can get the urine in, I'm fine.
Yea I began to notice this about myself the last couple times I took breaks. It's usually only a day or two, but I agree it's undesirable.

Take a longer break. It's very undesirable for you and those around you when your mood becomes substance dependent, whether it's weed, alcohol, caffeine, etc. Reset your tolerance and clock and you'll be better for it.
I know a few people who are bitchy/moody/slightly 'bipolar' when they're not able to get high, and it's a serious detriment to their personality for those around them, and the time spent with them. Weed is amazing... but so can be clear-headedness in intervals.
Or just try to put yourself in other people's shoes more often. Much easier said than done!

I got super baked and played DayZ with some friends. We encountered another group and had a firefight--my hands were literally SHAKING because of being so stoned + the adrenaline. Good times.
It usually only lasts like a day or so for me.

So many extra steps in turning cash into bitcoins and then hoping you don't get screwed. I've thought about it for sure though.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Just want to add a different perspective, not sure if I should be posting it but here goes:
I started toking up in high school and stayed high for most of the 5 years after that and through college. After finishing college I had trouble finding employment and thus had to quit smoking due to financial and social reasons (family was getting suspicious, I can't lie easily). Its been over 8 months since I quit and the first few weeks were brutal. Drinking lots of water really helped.
I've slowly readjusted to the sober life now and its tough but if you are looking past quitting, its very doable. I can enjoy food without having to get high, can go to sleep whenever I want, ended up getting a job at a doctor's office to turn my life around. I can enjoy gaming anytime without the need to toke up. Not saying marijuana held me back, but it didn't exactly propel me forward in life either. It's different for everyone though, I'm not blaming marijuana for anything, I had a lot of wonderful experiences under the influence.
The best part is all the money you save, I bought every game I've been interested in since last year and managed to renovate my room. Do I still get the occasional urge to toke up sometimes? Yes, but I figure at this point it's better to continue down the path I'm on instead of looking back.
Thank you for reading, and happy toking!

A friend of mine gave me a VaporGenie and I'm in love. This little hand held vape pipe is just so convenient. It hits and tastes spectacularly. I don't believe I'm going to go back to burning my stuff any more.

A beginner's guide to using The Silk Road.
This is good advice.
While the conversion to bitcoins requires some effort and foresight (I always try to reorder when I have a week's supply left, due to the transfer time from bank account to bitcoins), I've been ordering from there for about a year and a half, with about a dozen orders, and I've never been scammed. Worst issue was that one vendor took 14 days to deliver product, but the solution to that is to leave honest feedback and not use that vendor again. Point is it's a decent option for those without other means, it just requires some initial research and effort.
Not sure if this discussion is prohibited here, if it is I'll remove it (or get banned I guess).
The problem though with Silkroad is that it honestly is a gateway into other drugs.
I have no problem with other drugs and actually do more "other" drugs than weed (in fact Mary is probably my least favourite) but in the hands of the wrong person, Silkroad is a life ruining addiction just waiting to happen.
But you guys in here seem pretty intelligent drug users so should be no issues.

I would have thought that the risks of getting caught using The Silk Road would be the greatest worry, considering some of the stuff that goes up on there.

Looked into it and just look too complicated and risky for the reward...

I got high on Thursday night. First time in months. I start my job on the 28th and they haven't even mentioned a drug test, but now that I've "scratched the itch" I can wait until I'm settled into my job before doing it again. I'm also willing to wait in case they do decide to test within the next couple of months. It'd be interesting if my initial background check cleared me entirely so that there's no need to test (because my record is so clean), but I don't know the company's policies on that.
Anyway, I had a great time with my friends. One of the best parts of our hangout was when we went for a walk at night. I was probably at my peak at that point and I felt like I was swimming through an ocean of loveliness. I formed a narrative for almost ever piece of scenery or building that we walked by. Everything felt less ordinary.
As much as I enjoy the "pure fun" aspect of getting high and playing games with my friends, sometimes it's nice to fall into and enjoy the moments of distorted reality.

There is always a middle ground. I don't know how much goddamn money you were spending on weed but this makes it sound like with the money you are saving you were able to buy a ton of games and renovate your room. I spend 10-15 every month or so on weed. And I smoke up once or twice a week with my vape. That's enough for what, 2-3 games? Not saying you should be smoking, good on you for quitting, just that it doesn't have to be all or nothing.

Alright, so I'm having trouble, or what I perceive as trouble, with my VaporBrothers hands-free vaporizer.
I pack it with a standard bowl pack, which typically gets me super baked. For the first two, MAYBE three pulls, there is visible "vapor" that I breathe out. After that, I can taste it, but I honestly don't feel like I'm getting high.
What's worse is that I don't even know how to tell its working, other than getting high. Is the herb supposed to get brown-black, like burnt? Some of it still looks pretty green when it's "done" (aka, I take 5 or so pulls and can't tell if I'm getting high).
Any ideas? I have to think I'm doing something wrong--inhaling too fast? Too slow? Not packing it right (followed directions to a T)? Too hot or cold (according to instructions, I should be at 350 with my selection).

I am totally incapable of helping you with your problem, but I'm glad you made it over here from FilmmakingGAF lol. Why don't you post in the movie thread at all?
I dont have knowledge of that specific model, but with my vape, I take a hit, then shake it up a bit so other parts of the weed can get hit next. When all of the weed is a nice brown or even black, that's when its done. You should be able to see the vapor when you breathe in and also at the end when you breathe out. Obviously the less you breathe out the better. Usually only takes me 2 big hits with my MFLB though, so not sure why it's not working after 5 for you.

Haha, well, we've been in preproduction for a while on a feature we want to shoot this summer. Been trying to get investors, but will probably have to crowdfund.
Other than that, I've been spending a ton of time researching my next camera purchase, which I'd like to stick with for the next few years (along with quality accessories). It was the BMCC for a while, but this RAW 5D hack has my interest, right now. Not purchasing for another few months, so hopefully it can mature.
I really should post more. You're talking about the filmmaking thread?
Hmmm, okay, so you mix it up/shake it after every hit? I'll try.
I definitely lose the visible vapor after 2 pulls. What temperature do you use?
I was also under the impression that this helps a little herb go a LONG way, but with my issues, I feel like its about the same, if not worse.
EDIT: Maybe temperature is the key. Bumped it up a bit and got a good pull. I am paranoid about burning the weed by accident, so I kept it at the recommended.
Cant comment on your vape, but mine has no temperature setting. I simply push in a battery which heats it up. After a few pulls the vape is slower to form, so I just hold the battery in for a little longer and I can see it. I can always see it when I breathe out though.
And yea, I shake it up so that it gets an even cook on all of the weed and not just the bottom.

I have a friend who's trying to get a feature off the ground, but his is a very long way away from shooting (he wants to raise $28,000 by the end of May [now June] and has like $400 so far lol). Hope yours turns out! Can you give me a brief synopsis of the plot or is it under wraps?
I was talking about this thread.

You guys Pandora just played two songs in a row that blended so well I thought they were two parts of the same song.
Was pondering on going one hundred percent sober for the next couple months until I turn 21.
Pros:
Save money
Save money (twice)
Have a sober mind. Forgot what that's like.
Focus more on my workout.
Cons:
No more getting high
Less seeing my friends.
Finding out that life is better sober (scared of this one.)
