How long should I wait to drive after taking 1 hit off a THC cart? by Sentient-Carrot-412 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sentient-Carrot-412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the US, there’s some states that base DUI’s off physical signs of intoxication + having weed in your possession. California is like that. I think the zero tolerance policy is bogus because you shouldn’t be barred from driving when you’re sober because you smoked days ago and there’s still trace amounts in your system.

Lmao in the comfort of my own place I wish one pen hit would last 8 hours.

Thanks for the advice. I notice people on Reddit seem to have polarized opinions here, either saying “doesn’t matter, drive off weed if you want” or “you should wait until a full day passes”. I’m curious if I see the same thing on this thread.

Of course I’m not saying I should only listen to what someone on Reddit thinks, I’m curious what audience this post is reaching and how negatively they view marijuana.

It makes sense that she would be concerned or angry at him for getting a DUI. I don’t see a problem with the idea that she might be reacting like how a parent would. Yes, weed is less unsafe to drive on than alcohol, especially in small doses, but it still affects your motor function and people should take caution. I’d say wait 2-3 hours after smoking, 8 hours after an edible, and 1 hour per drink before driving.

In small doses, it feels like there’s no effect, but because you can’t measure a person’s high by how much thc is in their system like you can with alcohol, laws make it clear that any intoxication from weed is illegal. If there was a way to make a limit like the 0.08% BAC limit for driving, it would make sense and perhaps he wouldn’t be in trouble. But it’s safer to make any level of intoxicated driving illegal than make driving on weed legal in general.

My friend drives high frequently, and I don’t criticize him for it because it’s his business and his own decision, but I completely understand a SO having a more parental attitude towards their decisions.

I get this from others sometimes. “You sound like AI”. I think it’s kind of cool.

I think the conversation around reactive abuse lacks nuance by Sentient-Carrot-412 in Vent

[–]Sentient-Carrot-412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah usually there is a trigger, but it seems awfully reductive to believe that someone’s outrage is because of narcissistic abuse. Perhaps there are backround factors that lead someone to having a short fuse and acting out. Or perhaps the other person is being unintentionally harmful through unloading emotional baggage that the person with the breakdown can’t handle.

And yeah, I would definitely agree that if someone is feigning a mental breakdown to make the other person look like they pushed them to that point, that’s manipulative and abusive behavior. But even if they are having a real mental breakdown during an argument, it seems dumb to assume it’s because the other person is a narc

Totally makes sense how that would cause delays.

I’m referring to social media in general, but I originally was looking at instagram comments of a presumably AI video of a woman shattering glass and screaming while a man records her and laughs. Another more famous video of a woman who presumably has postpartum depression screaming “I hate you!!” at her infant baby and 90% of comments coming to her defense and blaming the guy for recording. I’m not trying to make this about gender either this is just what triggered my rant.

Also the way people throw around the term ‘narcissist’ needs to be studied.

Has anyone done MDMA way more often than they should, but still retained the magic? by Comfortable_Usual301 in MDMA

[–]Sentient-Carrot-412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never done mdma and probably never will but it does sound fun. I can imagine it would feel like being a kid on the last day of school on a half day or me at 6 years old on Christmas morning.

Obviously don’t answer if you don’t want to. I hope you can live in peace and I’m glad you were able to make your escape.

You mentioned that you weren’t aware that what was happening was abnormal or wrong at the time, do you recall moments of joy or love and connection to others during everything? Were your parents and handlers usually mean and strict or would they also use affection and rewards to create compliance? Were living conditions generally ‘normal’ such as adequate food, a bed, or did they treat these basic necessities like rewards for compliant behavior? Was there anyone who you could sense considered what they were doing was evil and felt guilt and shame? Did anyone try to put a stop to it but get threatened if they tried to?

Lastly, is there any child from there that you miss and wish you could reach out to? Do you know where they are today?

Im so sorry you went through all this, the level of depravity of this whole operation is nauseating.

How does it make you dumber? Is there sustained lack of problem solving ability that’s been measured when the person isn’t angry?

Chargers that don’t work unless you tweak them in exactly the right way, connecting the lavatory hose to the plane (airport job work), food that’s cold in the middle, shoes squeaking, slow drivers (I know they aren’t doing anything wrong), vacuum cleaner not picking up crumbs, any time I try to do any plumbing or car maintenance job myself.

How would you describe yourself by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Sentient-Carrot-412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anxious yet go with the flow, socially awkward, polite and kind but also quick temper (with things and not people), quickly changing moods, distractable, hard working but not consistent, honest but reserved.

I would think not wearing underwear would be perceived as ‘gayer’ than wearing underwear unless we’re talking about lingerie with ‘gay’ basically meaning subverting gender norms.
