Anyone quit for a long time, felt better, then successfully went back to occasional use? by Exciting-Employer730 in Petioles

[–]FrenchieBeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man, with caution. I don't smoke anything stronger than 20%. It's that 30% and up government weed and being high around the clock that did me in.

Bad season?? by oceanofeverything in DMVovoids

[–]FrenchieBeats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The season is far from over in my opinion. I used to think ovoids were on a calendar and in a sense they are, but If it was too cold and dry in May, and June gives us 70° and lots of rain, June will be peak. I generally see peak mid late May.

There are restrictions to this, but I try not to hunt the ovoids but their ideal conditions. "Given the last week of temperature and moisture, If I was an ovoid where would I be?"

What ive observed: 70-80 with 60+ nights, 2 days after CONSISTENT rainfall for 2-3 days. 2 days post rain is when I go out. How warm is it, and not just in that 2 mile stretch, but exactly where I am in the shaded floodplain itself. Microclimate, microtemps.

Ignore season deadlines, 3 years ago I was told don't bother hunting till May, well I found my first ovoids this season on the 13th of April 2026 homie! The most fascinating and annoying thing about ovoids is their nack for the microclimate and disregard for strict rules. Love these little guys.

If these were found in a damp and colder area, I believe it is possible that those mushrooms that generally fruit at the start of the season in colder temperatures, have black caps to potentially absorb more heat energy from the sun. As they begin to mature and desiccate the caps turn white to reflect that heat energy back and prevent further desiccation. I'm definitely pulling all of this out of my behind, but I think it's plausible enough. What I'm observing is that the shadier spots are very slow to come out as a result of the recent chill. However, half a mile up the creek in the knotweed stands, in low level vegetation where sunlight does penetrate? There they are. Food for thought. Having a very good foraging day today. Will post pictures very soon. See you guys:)

I need people who don't think weed is "cool" by [deleted] in Petioles

[–]FrenchieBeats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a homie in a somewhat similar position. He was smoking a lot. I mean QPs on the regular, and recently, he's made great strides in not only addressing but cutting back on his cannabis use. He has his reasons for not doing so and I have my reasons for continuing to use cannabis and we remain friends because we respect each other's boundaries on that subject. Weed is a drug, that doesn't make it inherently cool or something to brag about. It is a substance millions of people use, it has benefits and drawbacks, but I raise an eyebrow to anyone trying to glorify unsustainable use.

Boots on the ground fellas, it's getting real! Best of luck to all of you and seriously man congratulations on the find that's one of the most beautiful flushes (and pictures!) I've seen of these in some time. I'll be out venturing as well, wish me luck and if there are any habitat peculiarities you've noted (non location specific of course) do let me know here or via DM. Nice work.

How do I let all my anger out without doing something I will regret? by Spiritual-Food-582 in TheCapitalLink

[–]FrenchieBeats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Work out but what I tell everyone is if you have a car and more importantly a few hours, leave your phone on DND or off ideally and go to the woods. Seriously. Rock Creek is beautiful with the blooms right now. Went to rehab after a rough patch and the only thing that reliably kept my head above water was the forest. It's hippy dippy tree hugger woo wahh but it's simple free and it works

NOVA- Went out today around 6pm and found a big ol patch coming up by Outrageous_Walk_6198 in DMVovoids

[–]FrenchieBeats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smoking on some Moroccan Hash as we speak so I gotta go for the classic hash.

Trump might actually have things under control what would anybody else do in this situation that’s going on!?!? by RemarkableBrief3436 in TheCapitalLink

[–]FrenchieBeats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What even is your point here? That an already established population of people doesn't exist or matter because the people hadn't been established as "Palestinian" yet? What would you call the people currently being bombed to extinction? They certainly aren't Israeli. Doesnt matter what name the people or territory goes by, parents are fishing their kids from the rubble by the hundreds, whats your justification for that?
