I wish I could get the truly exotic stuff like edibles and tinctures more easily.

Yeah. It's been legal so long here it's getting easy to forget that it's still illegal in most places.

I like the consistency of the professional edibles but recently got back into making my own. Just so much cheaper. $40 will buy me 20 candies or I can make 120 for the same price. I've had bad luck with tincture though so I still buy that.

Sipping water with a few drops of this today:



Caffeine and weed.

It is that for some things. I have a friend that makes weed infused pretzels all the time, and they are very inconsistent. But I've come to expect. I experienced it with commercially produced gummies though. The differences weren't as extreme as the pretzels but still noticeable.

Tincture is my favorite dosing method. We used to make it all the time in college, and even with low quality weed it'd turn out pretty well.

Smoking anything disgusts me. Parents were smokers in my childhood.

But I am ready to eat a sliver of a pot brownie.

Will you guys be here for my possible panic attack?



Weed= Alcohol IMO. It's illegal status has always been stupid.

Legalize it. Should be treated no different than tobacco or alcohol.

CBD is legal everywhere now just about. Just have some CBD oil close by. It does wonders for the wee scaries/anxiety if you get too high.

I used to make it out of the leftover flower when I vaped and it was still potent. Tasted like shite though (I used everclear). I just buy the flavored glycerin shite now.

There was absolutely nothing out there. Whether this is just simply a lack of studies or a lack of evidence, I don't know. But your statement can't be scientifically proven


This is not true. Here are two, newer studies (there are plenty more) ironically the first study states that there are problems with brain development with smoking marijuana as adolescents, the second one says there’s not.

Batalla A, Bhattacharyya S, Yücel M, et al. Structural and functional imaging studies in chronic cannabis users: a systematic review of adolescent and adult findings. PloS One. 2013

Filbey FM, Aslan S, Calhoun VD, et al. Long-term effects of marijuana use on the brain. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2014

After looking at all the research - Dr Volkow (who is a doctor here in the USA) states:

“the degree and/or duration of the impairment depends on the age when a person began using and how much and how long he or she used“

People are going to do what they want regardless of research anyway - everyone knows smoking can cause cancer - plenty of people smoke. Drinking can cause all sorts of problems - however alcohol can be found almost anywhere. Plus, when there’s research out there that can back both sides of an argument - it doesn’t really matter.

I keep getting downvoted although I am for legalizing it. But whatever - arse holes are going to arse hole.

If we had a national vote it would pass IMO. So legalize that shite.

The benefits of marijuana are well documented. But it is psychologically addictive(as is video games and almost anything else). What are the OT’s thoughts? Should it be legal?


Government overreach. Repeal all Karen-Laws.

I think Marijuana won't be that popular if its legalized. I have no problem with legalizing it, more people buy their marijuana from street pharmacists still because of the watered down junk they sell at weed dispensaries.

Exactly, even if you did a statewide vote, I think it would pass in every state, including in the South.

I’d say it destroys less lives than alcohol.

So yeah.
Legalize it. It’s a fricking plant.

Huh? Most dispensaries have the top shelf lab tested stuff with very high THC concentrations.

Want to know how I know you don't know what you're talking about?

Seriously, it's difficult to run away with "dumbest post of the thread" when there's almost 200 to choose from, but congrats.

Just bumping so everyone gets another chance to laugh at this post. How do you "water down" weed anyway?
