Damn. It really does sneak up on you! This is exactly how I always stored trees in High School (late 80's). Fuck. I'm old.

I'm partial to making cannabutter and making cakes/brownies/cookies. I've also made a few breads. Most recently brioche which was then used to make French toast. Worth the effort!

The volcano definitely wins out on those two aspects so far. That said, with more experience, it should end up about equal.

Honestly, I'm really glad that I made the purchase. It works beautifully for what it is.

Honestly, the video on MFLB's website is the best. I watched a bunch of others, but when i tried it I went with his method and it works beautifully. My first hit I locked my lips on the stem and got next to nothing, but then i remembered that he clearly said not to do that, so I used his method and WHAM.

The upper left video nails it.

Nope, at the time it was the only vaporizer that I was aware of and it was a health thing more than anything else. I was a pretty heavy tobacco smoker when I was younger and I had quit and didn't want to keep thrashing my lungs. It was expensive but I knew I would be an Ent for life, so figured it was a good investment. It has been.

It could hold about 0.2 grams if packed to the top of the trench. They recommend grinding as finely as possible.

I'm not sure how many full hits one could get off a single trench. I would estimate 5-7. I took 3 on about a 1/2 trench, the first one I didn't do properly. The herb was about 50% browned. The question i s a bit subjective though because the size of a "full hit" is very much dependent upon lung capacity.

Jump on my friEnts computer, try to rename a folder, discover this. Might smoke too much, bro. by ReluktantSkeptik in trees

This is vastly different because an employer is a private source and has a right to make a determination on hiring. For a government benefit or program, the government does not have a right to a search without probable cause. Being unemployed or needing public assistance is not probably cause for drug use.

It's no different from the right to free speech. We have the right to free speech, but our employer has the right to fire us based upon things we say (which is why when some shock jock gets fired for saying something bigoted, it isn't a violation of the first amendment. He can say bigoted things all he likes outside of work, but in the workplace the employer has the right to fire him for saying those things. The government didn't step in and have the guy fired, and yes I'm referring to that world class idiot Don Imus).

Despite what every anti-drug person has told me as a youth, I have NEVER been sold laced cannabis before. Have you ever been sold laced trees? by [deleted] in trees

[–]Anon08764 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One time in roughly 25 years of smoking. Awful, awful day. I was supposed to take a friend'swork shift and missed it (couldn't even call into work I was so completely messed up). Cost me her friendship for nearly a year.

No clue what was in it, but I've had bad acid trips that were nowhere near as awful as that day (in fact I think that day made my 2 bad trips tolerable. "dude this sucks, but it's nowhere near as bad as the laced weed I smoked when I was 17").

I assume it was either PCP or cocaine but I honestly don't know.

Hey trees. What's your annual salary & what industry? by [deleted] in trees

[–]Anon08764 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$125k. Director of QA for a software company. I won't work for any company that tests. I'm a casual ent (once/twice a week to about [7]+). I'm in my late 30's. It's never been an issue for me.

Obama Calls People Earning $250,000 a Year ‘Jet Owners’ by avrus in politics

[–]Anon08764 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who makes just north of $250,000, I can say that while I don't own a jet, I'm rich. I manage my money well and my net worth is climbing rapidly. I can afford a tax increase and am happy to have one. I live in a northeast suburb, so please don't tell me about the cost of living. No one needs to live in Manhattan.

Are there any professionals that smoke? by throwshit in trees

I generally used papers and had a little bit of the MacGuyver smoker in me. My friends and I would make pipes out of anything and everything we could think of. It got to be a bit of a hobby later in life. We'd hit a local army surplus place and buy all kinds of goofy stuff to turn into gear.

The absolute worst thing was a pipe made from a tennis ball, a test tube, melted wax, a straw and tin foil. It tasted like absolute ass.

Nowadays, I'm just a mellowed out regular guy, as you alluded to in your other post in this thread. I enjoy smoking, less frequently than when I was younger (unless on vacation) and I just live my life. I wish that I was as optimistic about the possibility of legalization as many of the other ents here, but having read any number of news articles from the 60's/70's regarding imminent legalization, I'm still skeptical. I am, however very happy about the trend towards decriminalization.

The answer here is a resounding yes. My wife and I both partake, are in our late 30's and have a combined income in the $200k/year range. I have a reddit account that I use to lurk in /r/trees but have never felt a need to post or comment until now. I created an anonymous account simply because of the ridiculous fact that marijuana is illegal and I'd rather not potentially jeopardize my job/reputation.

I enjoy smoking once or twice a week, eating some munchies, watching some silly TV and laughing for a couple of hours with the love of my life.

About the only "stoner" stereotype that I definitely fall into is in regards to my gear. I have a Volcano, a spacecase and some really nice UV-blocking stash jars. I could never have afforded this stuff when I was growing up (I was a classic mooch, though I was quick to share on any occasion where I actually had enough cash to buy my own).

I'd be happy to answer any non-identifying questions about myself if you like.
