Because when you say things about the different variations like ["Don't go nuts, the strains are waaayyy more potent that what you might remember"], ["If your a newbie I would not mess with it"]. And among other things, another poster wrote concerning one of the variations: ["Seems potent and I didn’t want to push my luck regarding the outcome"], it leads someone like me to believe it's like getting drunk on steroids.
Remember. To old guys like me, weed was taboo. If ANYONE in our Fraternity House EVER got caught with weed, we put them on social probation for an entire term, which at that time, was the equivalent of the NCAA Death Penalty. No jammies, no socials, no tailgates with the House, .......no nothing. You guys are talking WAY over my head with this stuff.
So either you are WAY over exaggerating the affects of some of this stuff, or there is some really potent sh!t that could make you dangerous on the road. If that's the case, how is it detected in a traffic stop?
Knees and lower back pain are frequent and I just use over the counter pain relief - aspercream and Tylenol. Would CBD oil be an effective option? I really don’t want to mess with opioids or any addictive meds, and I try to just take the minimum necessary to get the job done.
Whoaaa dude relax...
Sounds like what you are saying is you get the equivalent of drop dead drunk (or worse). Otherwise, you'd be answering my question.
When someone tells me "not to mess with something" and "don't push your luck", I interpret that as being some pretty bad stuff.
I’ll own the “not push my luck” line. About 40 years back I was regularly around some kids that smoked it. The first few times I tried it I never hit the “high” threshold. Eventually I hit the threshold and I got a little paranoid, but with no negative outcomes.
FF 40 years and I heard the current generation of strains were far more potent. So when I decided to test the new regs here I decided I would dip my toe in the water rather than plunge in such that I knew my head would be under. So yeah, I was heeding the same buzz that’s out there.
Thanks. You are talking to someone that has never smoked a joint in his life. I'm not the only one. A LOT of people my age, especially guys that played sports, never touched the crap. Among other things, we were told it would take away our aggressiveness. That, by itself, kept guys like me a quadrillion miles away. My wife never smoked any either.
With some of these "more potent strains" that others have said "not to mess with", would you feel comfortable driving your grandkids (or kids) 5 or 10 miles to school in the morning right after smoking? On an Interstate like I-95? It would be bad enough doing that if you are stone cold sober. But under the influence of a "more potent, not to mess with" high? Having had some experience with the stuff, what's your opinion? Thanks.
Weed is great fun. No clue how to dial it in as pain reliever.I just get super happy, freak out a little bit and take a nap. Unfortunately, after my behavior at big Pete’s 50th, moms and I came to an agreement that I’m not allowed to be high off the property. Good luck.
Any suggestions to keep the edibles, candies, gummies away from the kiddos? They’re opening a medical dispensary near me and this topic has come up too often with parents concerned about likely calls to poison control or trips to the ER because the kids won’t read the wrapper packaging and they look like candy. I don’t care if adults want to partake, I just don’t want kids impacted if dad’s taking a nap. Is this happening in other states? I guess it’s no different than locking the liquor cabinet but this could be a slippery slope. Sorry to derail.
I keep them in a place that kids do not have access to, my nightstand and gf's underwear drawer. If I was really worried (my kids are 17 and 20) I would put them in my safe in closet.
You can get it without THC so it’s not an opioid. My mother uses it for her knee problems and swears by it.
Is the 17 year old a boy because if so, the underwear drawer is probably the least safe place for it.
I've not come across a more potent not to mess with strain or high here in PA or in my travels. Moderation and experimenting and getting a feel for the high is key. Hopping in a car while really stoned is a no no.
Edibles are probably in your community already. There is a healthy black market here in PA. I know in Colorado when edibles were legalized, there was an initial increase in ER visits.
the wife gets migraine headaches. just started using and it helps her a lot and she is not overly stoned. just take less. it is like craft beers. they have a higher ABV. if you drink 10 Bud lights now drink 4 Troegs nugget nectars. If you drink 10 you will be fall down drunk
Keep the weed in your gun cabinet or next to the tide pods.
Pot is not an opioid and is not addictive. First thing you should do for knee and lower back pain is lose weight.

If you had an actual question and weren't being passive/aggressive and now just aggressive in your "questions" I might have answered. As it is disingenuous people bore me so goodbye.
Why would anyone get high, or drunk for that matter, before driving kids around? Seriously, your question makes no sense.
Yea don't leave it out on the counter, coffee table or pretty much anyplace in the open.
Even with THC its still not an opioid. But more about CBD I was told by "bud tenders" that yes it will work but there seems to be a symbiotic relationship with the CBD and THC that allows it to be much more effective. Any way thats what I was told by an "expert" in the biz. And you can get CBD oil at the stores that have very little THC but still allow the effective pain relief to happen with out getting anyone "high".
You’re right...I meant it’s not a drug without the THC if he’s worried about that.
The street level marijuana trade has been cash only forever. There have been issues.
But since we're talking about legal weed, there's a reason why we don't hear about that kind of crime. It's because the people who can afford to get into the business can also afford to pay for strong security. A lot of small operators fail because they don't have access to financial help like the self-funded big operators. They can't get loans to expand the business and they can't use banks to dispose of cash. Nothing prohibits banks from loaning money to cannabis businesses but they don't want to take the chance to feds will come after them for doing so. The SAFE Banking Act ensures banks can deal with cannabis operations without being penalized. That's good news for small operations which want to expand.
One loses all credibility when passing out at a 60 person dinn.I would have paid money to see you two coming to this agreement!
when you legalize less money goes to organized crime, there is quality and more purity control and a much safer environment. it has been used for over 7000 years and that is not going away. Edibles are effective, tasty, and discrete. I prefer money going to dispensaries and the taxes going to what the voters decide is the best usefor their state. organized crime will take the hit.
I think a topical gel is better than an oil for localized pain. I used a high quality CBD gel for a herniated disk with sciatica. First time in my life I used oxy and they cut me off after 1 script. The pain was ungodly. It really did help. Below is a link to the place I get mine. It is very highly rated. I use it as needed. I've had two meniscus surgeries and chronic knee pain. The pain went away after I lost 65lbs and started going to the gym 5+ times a week.

Don't worry. Others had the balls to politely answer one of my questions for you. Namely, it's brain dead stupid to get behind the wheel of a car when you are stoned and drive.
Your answers, like this one, were obviously meant to be evasive. So I'll give you another chance.
To protect other drivers on the road, how hard is it to detect on a traffic stop by a trooper? Is there a breath test or anything else that can be used to detect it on site?
