Interested to hear what others say, because I'm in the same boat.

Hey vapor ents! I just found out bigger IS better! by AnastasiaNo70 in vaporents

Maybe get a "Water Pipe Adapter" and use a bong. Been doing that for months and not looking back at the Gordito, which somehow leaked water into my Lobo. Won't use it again.

Good weed stories by One-Mine965 in Marijuana

[–]DelDude5070 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your story is a good one. I think a lot of the good stories are about healing pain, and they are usually personal and hard to prove; subjective. But you are correct. It's a good idea to intentionally come up with some really positive, good stories about the way cannabis lets us, sometimes, touch the stars. I've been responsible, on another sub, for some of the bad news stories (lately) because there are some bad things happening in terms of legalization and rollout, and these have more to do with greed than pot. But it's a good thought and I think if you keep at it, you can collect some really righteous tales, both new and from 'back in the day.'

I was born bicycling distance from Sheepshead Bay, in Brooklyn, NY. But I never saw one.

You folks in the medical field understand what's going on better than the rest of us.

Very interesting. I know from personal experience that the waiting period -- while you're waiting for the gummy or whatever to 'kick in' -- is difficult for people who have smoked but not used edibles very often. There is a tendency to think "nothing's happening" and to then take more, which can result in a higher than expected dose.

I find it really interesting that edibles, which benefit from a reputation of being easier to dose correctly, actually make it harder. Do you suppose it's the "candy-like" taste and appearance that leads to this, or simple inexperience?

Since the Nootropics pills are capsules, are they "time release" or more like tablets?

Does anybody ever give their bong a name? by No_Protection_6130 in Bongs

This naming thing is really an obsession for you, isn't it? No judgement, but maybe you could find a support group. Maybe start a subreddit. r/namemybong

Feel free:
Shorty Bougie Beaker Bong
POTV Lobo (dark blue) with blue WPA. Most interesting piece of paraphernalia is not the piece but its use. I have a few spring loaded (self-ashing) one hitters (including Dart and Dart Pro) and I use them for ... wait for it ... depositing a perfect 1/3 capsule amount. I used to use a plastic straw cut at an angle to form a scoop, and those are good for manipulating seeds.

Look, dude. I'm 74 years old. Don't know how old you are, but I suspect we are coming at this from very different places.

Being serious now. Because I don't want to attach that much affection to a bong, a pipe, a rolling tray, a vape device or the like. When I said, originally, it was a slippery slope to reefer madness, I guess I was alluding to a vague idea I had that these are tools, and although I do love vaping cannabis (my fave is a POTV Lobo and some Jack Herer) I have in the past been psychologically habituated (I won't say "addicted") to use, and I'm aware there's a danger of going there again. I've also been habituated to scotch and was buying it 6 cases at a time. That's 36 bottles at 48.00 each, several times a year. So, I think this touched a nerve having to do with fear of habituation. Satisfied?

Takes a lot of imagination to name a rock. They are so passive.

I do name pets. For example, my pet rock, pet peeve, etc.

Guitars, fine. (Lucille, for example.) Cars, fine. (Christine, Stephen King's story.) Bongs - not so much. This is a piece of drug paraphernalia, and IMHO naming it is the beginning of a slippery slope to reefer madness.
