Negs from Dorich are the best, they give that 'I made a grown man cry' feeling kinda well up in you.

Good Riddance George Blake.


I hope your death was as painful as possible.

Decided i want a 9mm carry and opted for a gen 5 g19....cant find anywhere.

No way a g17 could be concealed without shaving down the grip right?

we allowed to talk about pot here, it's legal where I live.

I've been wondering about this too since it's been legalized in a lot of places now.

I've been wondering about this too since it's been legalized in a lot of places now.

It is probably no surprise but the two times I tried marijuana I had a panic attack. First time I laid on floor with white fuzzy eyes thinking I was going to pass out with a heart attack. Second time I think it was laced with something, I ate a quarter of a brownie and for 45 minutes I walked in circles with my words repeating 3 times, so I kept reminding myself I was on drugs and it would pass. The 45 minutes felt like eight hours.

I wish it were legal in Texas, it really helps with my wife's constant daily pain; she would rather that then prescribed drugs.

[gachase21]

Never tried it a single time in my life.

Never even smoked a cigarette once.

I thought about it as therapy for my alleged debilitating constant pain issue.

I just won’t do anything that I think could possibly diminish my mental capacity - it’s the biggest asset I got.

I'm tightly wound intense person in real life, I do not think marijuana was made for me. I usually have a drink at night to calm down when I relax with my wife. If I don't drink in social settings I will ignore everybody and think about work or just leave and go do work.

I have a hard time relating to people unless I've had alcohol. I take a beta blocker and klonopin daily and it makes me slightly tolerable of non work conversation.... like discussing baby toys or baby sleep schedules. I'm not sure I could live a "normal" life if I didn't have alcohol or something to relax me at 8pm, and by alcohol I mean 2 guiness beers.

[gachase21]

^^^ we are so opposite in every way


I socially drink 4-6 times a year.

I don’t like drinking at home when I’m with the family because I always want to be in the sharpest mindset in case I have to defend them.

I’ve done it- but rare.

I'm just the opposite, I'm not wound in the least and I can't stand the feeling of even being tipsy. I rather enjoy edibles though.

How is it supposed to make you feel?

[Harbinger]

How is it supposed to make you feel?

There are different strains, Sativa & Indica, and there are hybrids of those. Sativa makes you feel kind of energetic and pumped, and Indica is relaxing. I usually get an Indica dominant hybrid. It makes you generally happy, euphoric but doesn't put you to sleep.

Same here, I used to blaze on the semi-reg but now I don't touch the stuff. Devil's lettuce is just too unpredictable for me; sometimes I'd bong on and just have a really relaxed and chilled session, other times my pulse would skyrocket, I'd go into extreme panic mode where I could legit not even function thinking I would pass out any second, and also got the dreaded "sponge brain" where your brain literally feels like it has turned into a sponge.


If you're at all prone to anxiety or panic I think the safe option is staying away from any sort of recreational drug.

That's like saying a shot of 40% vodka makes you energetic and a shot of 40% whiskey makes you relaxed. After thousands of years of cross pollination, you'd be hard-pressed to find a pure Sativa or Indica, but it's bull**** anyway.

[frankfrank3630]

^ I seem to react identically to sativa and indica. I haven't always known which one I've had, but certainly (since the two are about equally common) I can't imagine that I've almost always just had sativa and pretty much never indica.

I don't get the classic indica effects from it; haven't in YEARS. I get utterly "wired" - and my brain becomes SO active that I do **NOT** get the "munchies." EVER. That is extremely unusual, I believe, but it's also true of a good friend in Chicago who I hope to visit Thursday. (I hope to stay past midnight, long enough to toss 2020 out the door on its sorry ass.)

I probably use it 12 to 20 times a year, though somewhat more this year than in most years. (Strangely, I am also FAR below my usual yearly consumption of about 24 beers per year...but that's been because it hasn't been a very social year. Pot is also good solo.) Hey, 2020 was a good year to escape...and I will escape, go deep into exploring unusual music, etc.

I can actually have real TRIPS on the stuff, which is also not at all typical. No, it doesn't happen often, but it can happen. In October, in New Jersey, I had a trip that I think lasted about a minute, but could have been half an hour, because **2020 and time itself** vanished...I was in a featureless translucent-white nothingness (fog?), at a state of complete mellowness and relaxation, all usual thought entirely absent, a sense of unimaginable velocity moving through a psychic infinity. I was also in the middle of a great (and 100% platonic) cuddle.

My tolerance for it is EXTREMELY low, so I may need only one hit. (I've NEVER tried edibles! Brownies would be my type for this. Other edibles are too damn sweet!)

It is probably no surprise but the two times I tried marijuana I had a panic attack.

With pot, YMMV. Simple fact is, it's NOT appropriate for everybody. I estimate maybe about one-third of people (if that) may derive a net benefit from it; there are some people who wouldn't benefit simply BECAUSE their prejudices against it are so strong that even if they have a wonderful time, they won't even recognize it at all because their cognitive dissonance will make it impossible to see a good time even if it smacks them in the fac...er, brain.

Your wife WOULD VERY CLEARLY BENEFIT from it, and it's sad to see states like Florida and Texas to be so backwards on this issue that they won't even allow medical use. I mean, for Chrissakes, even SOUTH DAKOTA has some legalization, and...MISSISSIPPI. It's certainly *BETTER* for her than whatever prescribed drug she would take. ALL effective painkillers (so far) are opiates to at least the degree that they are subject to losing effectiveness after continued dosages, leading to addiction as higher doses are required. Pot does not do that. The dosage doesn't have to be increased for pain relief. What I'm still not sure about, though, is whether CBD works at all for pain relief; there is the issue that somebody may indeed want to use pot to reduce pain, but not everybody wants to be high all the time!

Not only are all good prescribed painkillers addictive, but ALL MEDICINE IS POISONOUS. Take too much of any of them (like a half bottle) and it may well kill you, even something benign like a blood pressure drug or (the non-prescribed medicine) aspirin. Generally prescriptions are at the level below that which will make it toxic or threatening, but there are some exceptions such as chemotherapy drugs which are poisonous to the entire system, though "SOMEWHAT MORE SO" poisonous to the targeted disease.

I just read in the past three days that they think COVID-19 has an attribute that, when its spikes are hooked to host tissue, acts as a pain killer. That could have some very interesting implications, because if the agent involved can be researched and isolated, the COVID-19 pandemic conceivably could spawn the birth of the world's first effective and non-addictive pain killer.

We all know how huge that would be.

I socially drink 4-6 times a year.

Kind of what I mentioned. I may do 20 or so beers per year, but that is probably contained in no more than 11 to 13 different days, and it's always socially. In fact, at home, I have beer that's probably gone bad from age...

How is it supposed to make you feel?

For most fans of the plant, it tends to make us feel relaxed, happy, positive, affable, optimistic. It temporarily shuts off some of our anxieties, which is a feature that some can abuse. There can be some pleasant physical sensations, too. Some people claim it makes them especially creative.

It sounds like you just aren't into the sensation of being high, which is fine.

[Harbinger]

You can certainly tell the difference between the two.

[Deathstroke]

Indica dominant strains for me is a smoke and go to sleep high. I get a lot of it up to 85% indica from my friend who has ptsd. Relax pm pens he gets a lot too. He’s given me one before 2 puffs is super relaxing.

I got peaches and cream now which makes you super euphoric and motivated To eat and play music.

Indica has had more residuals to me.

I have a glass trump pipe

I posted itt I think

But I might retire it next month

^^these.

Ive never been a big drinker, but maybe 8 or so years back I developed some type of acid reflux and now can't even have a cold beer on a hot day without feeling like Im having a heart attack. Wine and liquor are fine though.

[z4v4]

You can certainly tell the difference between the two.

Depends on the cannabinoid and terpenoid makeup and its quantities. As more and more states legalize, there will be more studies conducted (it should be removed from Schedule I classification for that reason alone) and better regulations for what can and cannot be put on a label.

Categorizing cannabis as either “Sativa” and “Indica” has become an exercise in futility. Ubiquitous interbreeding and hybridization renders their distinction meaningless. The arbitrariness of these designations is illustrated by “AK-47,” a hybrid that won “Best Sativa” in the 1999 Cannabis Cup, and won “Best Indica” four years later. More than 30 years ago, unhybridized plants of Indian heritage and Afghani landraces were already difficult to obtain.

Anyone else having issues with updating/amending their profile on here? I'm trying to remove my avatar photo and also, remove my location details but it's not taking effect for some reason.

I click the 'do not use an avatar' option and try to save it, but it doesn't stick.

Did the set-up change after the new ownership takeover, or something?

Can you change your avatar for something else, as opposed to remove it?

[Chowboy]

How is it supposed to make you feel?

It makes you a sexual Tyrannosaurus Rex.


That right there is worth the price of admission.

[gachase21]

Fairly sure I can change the avatar because others seem to be able to do this.

I don't want a photo there, though lol. I just want the standard bb.com default. Don't want to change it to another pic of myself, so I might try putting a random photo although that could be banable. Eh...not such a bad thing, in all honesty.

Use this pic

I've had the opposite issue - I've tried multiple times but have never been able to upload an avatar.

The score to The Midnight Sky is ****ing schizophrenic. I hear John Williams tracks, syrupy Pixar tracks, a little Bond orchestration, and even some Craig Armstrong pseudo electronica with drum machine snares. This soundtrack is bonkers.
