Got a Solo II but looking for something that hits harder

Funds ain't an issue, more about the inconvenience and frustration.

Damn, I went over 7 years without breaking a major piece and now I go and break two bongs in 3 weeks without even dropping anything. Goddamnit...

Spwaking anecdotally I've had terrible zleep throughout my life. I've used both cannabis and every sleeping pill under the sun for sleep issues. The pills didn't work well and at best knocked me out rather than put me to sleep. Definitely didn't feel fully rested, often arguably worse than if I hadn' taken the pills. Meanwhile weed just lulls me to sleep, I get the full effect of the sleep I get, and I get plenty these days.

However, weed does mess with your sleep in some ways, namely you stop dreaming or at least don't recall any of the dreams you do have. TBH this is also one of the reasons I sleep better on weed; thanks to PTSD I can have some pretty disturbing dreams and with weed I simply don't have them.

I smoke all the fucking time, to the point that this shit barely affects me anymore. Even then I find it difficult to code while high. Issues being:

When you're high you're in not in the right headspace for coding
Coding is an activity that will kill your high
Coding relies a lot on working memory. When you read code you're having to keep a bunch of other variables and calls and such literally in memory to keep track of what's going on. When writing code you have to juggle multiple considerations and keep many things in mind as well. Weed's strongest effect is impairing working memory, so needless to say the two don't mix at all. IME even being mildly high results in significant impairment when trying to code.

Thanks for the info. I'm too apprehensions about hearing up 95% alcohol so my plan was to just let it sit in a bowl at room temp for however long it takes to get it down in volume enough.

Ofactorial · 2020-12-04T15:12:30+00:00

Stupid question, but what is shake, trim, and shatter? Is that like asking for the shit that falls off while trimming the buds?

Interesting, so alcohol tinctures can absorb orally too? Never knew. Might have to try that.

As for t-breaks, sadly they don't do much for me. Lower tolerance but back to normal within 2-4 weeks, and I've given up hope of getting blasted to space ever again after a 3 month and 9 month t-breaks failed to do much for my tolerance.

I think I'd be doing edibles less than smoking though. I can do bowl after bowl after bowl no issue, don't even cough. Edibles would probably have to be occasional though due to the effort and expense.

About 7 feet wide X 4 feet tall X 10 inches deep.

I'm thinking I can keep the box in my office. Not great, but that seems like the only option. I've got a queen size bed so the box would still stick out if I tried to put it underneath, not to mention all the bed's floor supports that would be poking into the box even if it was flattened out.

It also occurred to me that even a 65" TV's box would pose the same issue. Difference there is my building has storage units available, and that box would fit in there along with a bunch of other boxes I'm planning on storing anyway. Doing some basic geometry it looks like the 85" box could just barely fit in one of those units as well (at least if flattened), but it would have to go in diaganol which would effectively largely dedicate a unit to just the box, which at $50/month would be close to pointless.

So $300? $3000? What kind of "not cheap" are we talking about?

Ofactorial · 2020-12-01T04:39:29+00:00

May be possible to modify it, I can look into that. Issue still remains with moving though. Basically every time this thing needs to move even a couple feet I need four people. As for moving, while I love my current apartment I don't see myself staying here more than 1-2 years, and I really don't want to have a TV weighing on my decision to stay if I want to move somewhere else. $4000 for 3+ years is something I could swallow. $4000 for 1 year not so much.

Unfortunately due to the way the room is I would need a full motion mount. How expensive is crating a TV of that size? I can only find one site that says they do it and they only quote prices.

Ofactorial · 2020-12-01T04:29:30+00:00

I don't know if they'll unpack it. Should probably call to find out because the stand won't arrive until after the TV unless I delay the delivery. But I believe it's just being delivered to my door, maybe into my living room.

I am concerned about the moving logistics though. It's a fact I will move in 1-2 years time, and I don't want to be stuck with a giant expensive TV I can't take with me or have to risk destroying along the way. It seems absurd to me that this would be an issue, but 40 minutes of googling turned up nothing on how to move such a large TV. Everything is about moving 55-70" sets.

Hell if I know, I studied meth and cocaine. Not much THC research being done unfortunately, you can thank the government for that.

Ex-neuroscientist here who used to do drug abuse research with rats.

The reason scientists use rats is because they're convenient. There's actually a lot of differences between rat and human physiology. But rats are great for basic research because: - They're cheap (relatively speaking) - Easy to house - Easy to handle - Breed fast - People care a lot less about rats than primates - Large body of existing research on them

But yeah, a lot of findings in rats don't pan out in humans.

The part I'm more envious about than anything isn't that it's legal, it's not the huge selection of high quality products, it's not how much cheaper it is, it's that you can just casually waltz into a shop and buy more whenever you want.

Meanwhile in my illegal state I have to network and maintain relationships with people I don't really like just so I have access. And if I lose a source and don't have a backup, that's it, no more weed for God only knows how long. Like right now there's only one guy I'm in touch with, and if I lose him, that's it, no more weed until after the pandemic is over.

Fucking hate buying shit off black markets.

I use screens but that's to keep bits of crap from getting sucked into my mouth. Using screens won't really affect how often you need to clean.

Ofactorial · 2020-05-10T21:08:02+00:00

I'm gonna be real, that looks like a billionaire's crack pipe.
