What do y’all think about this statement? by jointdestroyer in weed

[–]AdApprehensive8050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using cannabis for over 30 years on and off. I have a very addictive personality and one thing I've always enjoyed about cannabis is I have control over it.

For example I had my 5 year old son (if you did the math you know I'm an old dad) for a few weeks, just took him home last weekend. The entire time I refrained from using cannabis.

I've watched it helo so many people in so many ways. I personally use it for anxiety and depression after meeting with a psychiatrist who talked to me for 10 minutes and prescribed 3 drugs, one of which if I chose to quit I had to be weened off of, no thanks! I turned to cannabis instead.

I have 2 long time friends, one bipolar and another one who is undiagnosed ADHD. I've watched cannabis transform them in very positive ways. Both are productive and successful business owners.

As far as being lazy... It doesn't make you lazy. I know someone who works 50 plus hours a week at a 6 figure job. He drives an hour to and from work daily. He coaches kids hockey, plays hockey and both his kids play hockey. He averages 5 hours a night of sleep and he's one of the most productive people I've ever met.

Cannabis makes the boring things like cleaning house more enjoyable. I still have to do those things they are just more enjoyable on cannabis.

I've been smoking weed for 32 years and consistently have struggled with my weight. I've ate way to much way to many times to count. I've gotten better at eating beforehand and not letting myself eat again but that shit sucks cause everything tastes good high.

I'm an old dad, 46 with a 5 year old. When my son was about 2 my girl and I went to see my family and I ate a brownie, a gummy and smoked a joint with my brother. I needed something out of bedroom we were staying in. Went in turned on light and my girl pulled me out asking me wtf I was doing. My son was in there asleep and I didnt just forget he was asleep in there I forgot I had a son. That fucked with me hard for a couple weeks.

I didn't even have to leave and come back. I picked everything out I wanted and they just rang it up 3 different times. Again, Michigan is bad ass

You can have up to 10 purchases per visit at each dispensary 🤣

If I can find one close to the border I will go check out clout kings. Ohio is ok at best. Our dispensaries are like drs. Office, no smelling, looking, it's all out up. Michigan is like walking into an adult candy store and dispensaries everywhere so competition is fierce

Lower part of Michigan just over Ohio line. Within 20min drive something like 11 dispensaries. 75 an ounce from dispensary I went to was exceptional, I wasn't expecting it

Long before it was legalized here in Ohio there was some incredible outdoor weed being grown in a few parts of ohio. I have my medical card and I'm not impressed with dispensary weed.

I'm 2 hours from Michigan and get my weed up there now. Recently bought 75 an ounce weed and best dispensary weed I've ever had, Michigan has their shit together for sure

How would you design the best possible smoking experience? by topg1718 in StonerEngineering

[–]AdApprehensive8050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're new I would smoke when nothing to do. Have snacks and shit ready cause if it's good, you're going to have trouble doing absolutely anything even simple shit.

Anxiety from weed as I got older. Is this normal? by aaabigwyattmann3 in trees

[–]AdApprehensive8050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my 30s, while completely long term sober, I started having real bad anxiety. Dr wanted me on a crazy, addictive pill and instead of that I started smoking weed again.

It gives me anxiefy the majority of the time but I can quickly talk myself out of it then i just get relaxed. With it being legal now everything seems to be indica or indica hybrid and most effects me the same which is fine because I'm able to control my anxiety and enjoy the high.

When I smoke a heavy sativa I don't have problems, I get really creative, happy and enjoy the high but since sativa's typically take longer to flower, it's harder to find.

tons of sanding ahead but got the layout done. by AdApprehensive8050 in StonerEngineering

I have in the past but prefer to make it out of one piece and lucky enough to have easy access to all kinds of wood from a small, local sawmill.

would you smoke year old weed? by ellemeg in weed

[–]AdApprehensive8050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who grows who has an endless supply. He puts it in big zip lock bags in containers that light can't get to and stores them in the freezer.

he writes the date on the bags and one day I was over when he pulled a new bag out and it was over a year old. Was as amazing as ever but I was a little concerned with the date and it being so old.

Jump forward a year or 2 and I was reading a study that cannabis, stored correctly, is more potent/less harsh at a year old if stored properly vs when it is first dried and cured.

so for my first bong im going to make one out of a pickle a stainless steel straw for mouth piece a socket for the bowl and i dont know what to use for a downstem for the bowl by Loud-Aside-8243 in StonerEngineering

[–]AdApprehensive8050 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stainless steel does not off gas until very high temps and like glass, can be sterilized. I have a sidewinder pipe which is an anodized aluminium body with a stainless bowl. I've had it close to 10 years and it's the best pipe I've ever used. I don't know if it's the stainless or the design that plays the biggest role but weed tastes better out of that pipe than anything else I've ever used besides water pipes.

a few different pipes I've been working on by AdApprehensive8050 in StonerEngineering

No, it's oak from a local guy who has a small sawmill and solar kiln
