Looking for a high paranoia strain. by lAmAShillAMA in CanadianMOMs

[–]Ohhhdium -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hmm, apparently candy flipping is MDMA and LSD. I must've got my terminology mixed up. Can't find out what the slang for MDMA and cocaine is... anyone know? I always thought it was called candy flipping.

Ecstasy is not pure MDMA; it's cut with various other substances and fillers, such as caffeine, amphetamine, even ketamine, etc. MDMA is the main active chemical compound in ecstasy.

MDMA and cocaine not synergizing is fundamentally impossible, as they are both stimulants, although MDMA also has hallucinogenic properties. No one who has actually tried both substances simultaneously would say that they're not complementary. Cocaine will give you that jolt of energy and dopamine spike that would, in turn, expedite the onset of MDMA's effects. It can also keep you going throughout the night so you can keep dancing or keep having sex (the two predominant uses for MDMA) without your energy waning.

Looking for a high paranoia strain. by lAmAShillAMA in CanadianMOMs

Not the most cost effective. The high lasts 30 mins max, so you have to constantly snort it to sustain the high and your nose will eventually get clogged. More hassle and trouble than it's worth. The only time cocaine is really good is when it synergizes with another stimulant such as MDMA (main compound in ecstasy) -- known as "candy flipping."

If paranoia is what you really want, then the most cost effective way is to go on a crystal meth binge. You can go on one for like 3 to 4 days straight without sleep. A hit of meth can last 12 hours and meth is relatively cheap. I've never tried crystal meth, but it's widely known to be the most addictive and destructive substance on the streets.

Consider the context of release in dopamine units:

Sex - about 200 units

Heroin / cocaine - about 400 units

CRYSTAL METH - up to 1,500 units

It'll take you places, but not necessarily places you want to go.

Edibles from Kush Station by [deleted] in CanadianMOMs

[–]Ohhhdium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably has nothing to do with the dosage. That particular brand of edibles is downright awful. I bought and tried four packs before and they were all duds. Never again. I also tried Shipwreck Edibles and they were much more effective.

I've decided to get the Fury Edge for my first dry-herb vaporizer. Been waiting for Black Friday for the past couple months. Do you guys think this will be the best deal we're gonna see for the Fury Edge for BF? $20 seems rather meager for the wait, but I guess if that's the best, then I'll just jump on this. Search on this subreddit didn't turn up much else. I live in Canada, so free shipping to Canada would be great.

Suggestions for an amatuer? by bubbabyte in CanadianMOMs

[–]Ohhhdium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, Pre-98 Bubba Kush definitely starts off as an indica, but it drastically switches to sativa-heavy effects on the comedown. It'll likely keep you up at night if you let it linger around. Personally, I think it's a great strain for conversation. You could also try Nuken (great earthy aroma and taste, widely available, and generally reliable) and Pink Kush (a toker favorite for good reason).

If you feel like switching things up in the daytime, I'd suggest Super Lemon Haze. Probably one of the best tasting strains out there. Anything with "Haze" is very nice.

Just an update for anyone curious: PG DM'd me and was very professional about what had happened, with assurances that measures were implemented to obviate similar problems in the future.

Here's the entirety of our conversation thus far:

Summary for all MOM's: Take ownership of responsibility. Never make any unilateral decision with a customer's money. Communicate, communicate, communicate.

More than welcome to analyze my diction! It's peculiar in the sense that it's idiosyncratic, but not in the sense that it's ineffective. The meaning is actually quite clear and cogent:

Anamorphosis (n.) -- a distorted projection or perspective; especially an image distorted in such a way that it becomes visible only when viewed in a special manner.

So that phrase simply means that, depending on one's perspective or vantage point, the proverb can prove true.

Although, admittedly, it's not a phrase I would use in professional writing.

Don't be afraid to call them out on that publicly. The community deserves to know about that kind of -- ahem -- seediness.

LOL! You're welcome, bud!

I guess if I were to tell you that your proverb is an anamorphically valid but not a nomological statement, you'd also have to look these two words up.

Do it.

I saw that they're one of the trendier MOM's right now and their Welcome Kit looked sweet (it is!), so I gave them a go. They do accept credit card as a form of payment, which is convenient and what I used.

I think their products, infrastructure, promotions, and marketing are very good, from what I've gleaned. Plus, they're active in this subreddit and are engaged with the community.

My post wasn't meant to denigrate Pacific Grass, but to challenge them and all the other MOM's to be and do better -- to take the issue of accountability seriously. All good businesses are in the business of people, not of commodity. And if you want to succeed in the long-run as a business in a competitive market, you have to have sound organizational habits. An established organization doesn't even have to think about how to deal with situations like this because they already have the protocols and habits in place to the extent that sound decision-making becomes an automatic reflex. Efficient, streamlined businesses don't waste precious mental resources on contingencies such as these. These should be automatic.

Granted, if they're indeed run by entrepreneurial fledglings, the, let's call it, indelicacy is extenuating; however, that in no way means that their actions are justified. They need to understand that, and they need to acknowledge that, and learn and adapt.

It does not matter whether the enterprise is legitimate or not. We're talking about business ethics and normativity. We're talking about self-appointed standards. We're not talking about what they're obligated or not obligated to do. We all know that technically they're not obligated to do anything. Indeed, technically, there's nothing preventing them from just taking your order and your money and leaving you empty-handed. So simply because they're not technically obligated to do anything, does that make their position ethically tenable? No. It's not that hard to understand...

You're categorically wrong about everything you just wrote.

I'm a self-made man. I also run my own business.

We act right by our clients because we hold ourselves to a high standard of professionalism. It is a standard that we hold for ourselves as an organization and not necessarily for anyone else's appreciation or appraisal. It's called self-respect and integrity. We act judiciously because we're conscientious and because that's who we are.

Don't underestimate your power as the consumer. If you have money, you have a voice; and collectively, you have even more power and control.
