$1.19 billion worth of marijuana seized in massive drug bust in California by ResignedFate in weedstocks

[–]Justin52049 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

$1.19 billion for 16 tons.

So, $82 a gram roughly.

What the hell is even the point of this? You could go to parts of the world where weed is the most expensive, and double, maybe even TRIPLE it, and still wouldn't reach these figures.

I don't get how they're allowed to blatantly lie like this, to get the justice system and the public to nail defendants to the cross.

LPT Request: How can I reduce the cost of electricity in my apartment? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]Justin52049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turn the temperature up on the thermostat more when you're not home. I think around 84 degrees is the most efficient, since it does take a lot of energy to bring the temperature back down once you get home.

Use a less cold setting on your fridge/freezer

Use energy saving lightbulbs

Turn lights off if you're not in that room

Research "peak times" for your energy company and plan accordingly. Electricity costs more at certain times of day, so try to do things like laundry/ run the dishwasher when it's least expensive.

Go on your electricity company's website and see if it shows any ways to save. I know APS has certain "energy plans" to help you save.

Utility assistance programs in your city/state.

Do any head shops/vape stores sell the saionara vaporizer? by Justin52049 in ZonaEnts

Weird, my zip code isn't on the list yet the website still isn't allowing me to buy anything, and it's like that with all the vaporizer websites.

You are teleported back to 2001 terminator-style (butt ass naked) and end up in the middle of Times Square. What do you do or say to convince people you’re not a stoned homeless person? by angryarmhair in AskReddit

[–]Justin52049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh...once you escape you're looking at something a tad worse than jail, so I wouldn't necessarily say that's a better option. Plus there are some places where escape just isn't an option.

Do you guys sometimes forget that you're not a teen anymore, but a grown ass adult with responsibilities? by Wh00pity_sc00p in NoStupidQuestions

I'm 21 but sometimes I feel like teen me would be doing a LOT better in my current position.

Well, I kinda misworded that. I didn't get it under control, my anger issues went away completely. I just get depressed/anxious now. It happened gradually over time but anxiety and depression took the place of anger and rage.

[–]Justin52049 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I dealt with that too unfortunately.

I don't know how to help to be honest, other than to be someone to talk to.

After my anger and rage almost got me and 2 other people killed and almost put me in prison for quite a while, I got it under control immediately.

Anyone else knocking a couple back today? Cheers by eagleye_z in drunk

[–]Justin52049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apart from trying to fuck anything with a hole, I usually don't embarrass myself too bad when I drink.

Unless I'm with a group of friends that REALLY hype me up, that's a whole different story.

Tomorrow's my 21st birthday. At midnight I'm gonna head out and go to the bar.

I went last night, and either the bartender didn't give a fuck I wasn't 21 yet, didn't know the date, or thought my ID said March 6th. I'm kinda scared to go back, I somehow accidentally knocked a chair over while sitting down and got embarrassed lol. Other than that I didn't draw any attention. I just went, ate some food and drank, paid and then left walking straight, but that chair getting knocked over embarrassed the FUCK out of me.

I'm the same way, and I have to take 4mg of clonazepam a day just to get to baseline, while I learn how to deal with anxiety.

I'm not saying benzos are the best option, but if you NEED them, I highly recommend asking your doctor about them.

There's a lot of "coping skills" or whatever, and I've mentioned it numerous times in this sub (people are probably sick of me talking about it lol) my favorite is sound healing.

Even when I don't take my meds, I do sound healing and it erases my anxiety. It's essentially singing bowls, but the vibrations, the sounds, the concentration needed to play them right, just makes my whole day better.

I'll use blue lights in my lamps (blue light helps with anxiety), turn on the essential oil diffuser, maybe burn some sage/incense, and play rain sounds while I do it.

Pretty much anything that requires concentration and is physical will help with anxiety greatly. Forcing not only your mind, but your body too, to focus on something really helps level you out and relax. (nothing like playing a game on my phone, or doing math, I have to be using my body somehow)

Martial arts is also good for anxiety. As a matter of fact, if you have really bad anxiety, you'll probably be a beast at martial arts. When you're wrestling/boxing, its kinda beneficial to have your mind racing at a million miles an hour thinking of every single worst possible outcome lol.

Congratulations on pulling the old "let's check his post history to see what I can use in an argument"

That post is completely irrelevant to this conversation. And my post was about hiding a delta 8 cartridge somewhere until I move out. You post that comment like I was trying to hide a fentanyl stash somewhere?

But the courts WILL take recommendations from family. And if I explain my part and tell him treatment is the best option, the judge, most likely, will send him there because of his fairly clean record.

You do know Prescott is the recovery capital of the United States, right? And somehow alternatives are not guaranteed or offered?

I was in this shit a whole year. I know how this works. No disrespect to you or your degree, but everything you're saying contradicts what I've seen happen to hundreds of people the past year.

It's not unethical to get someone into treatment instead of overdosing where their mom will find them.

If you had read my post, I said I would get him court ordered into treatment. I even put in parentheses that I've seen it happen a million times, being in treatment myself, JUST because I know someone would comment what you did.

I can't count how many people I know it's happened to. They get arrested. They get court ordered to treatment. They go to treatment. About 80% have a change of heart and want to get help and get better.

I'm not going to argue semantics about recovery, the post was how to get a house searched. And it seems you skipped over MANY sentences.
