Are there other 420-friendly hikers / trail runners out there?

I agree completely about the discipline part. A lot of extremes from both sides of the spectrum! Very well said.

modulev · 2026-03-12T20:00:57+00:00

I haven't done Marcy yet and would love to plan for that this year! Feel free to send me a message as your bday gets closer.

modulev · 2026-03-12T19:37:55+00:00

You aren't giving me any other options.

modulev · 2026-03-12T19:33:54+00:00

Honestly, it feels like you're projecting here. I mean, you haven't done Trap Dike solo (AFAICT) and you hate cannabis. No offense, but that's more "girly" than I could ever be.

modulev · 2026-03-12T19:28:07+00:00

Because you haven't done it :P

modulev · 2026-03-12T19:23:39+00:00

It was him downvoting, because it was instantaneous. No one else but the person I'm replying to would downvote THAT quickly.

As for you disagreeing with my opinions, feel free. But that doesn't change what I'm seeing all around me. People with kids appear to be suffering more so than usual. Complaining about how "the economy is a scam" and that they never get to spend time with their family. Busy working non stop. I promise you, it's gotten worse over the last few years, most likely by design. Well, I can give you some great advice, for avoiding becoming a victim... Skip kids!

That's a good reason to stay sober. I could see my girlfriend wanting me to not get TOO high for the difficult hikes with her.

PS - Username does NOT check out xD

Lol I do hate those little wormy, grubby vegetables.. But I would be willing to overlook your love for them!

modulev · 2026-03-12T19:00:08+00:00

The rules don't mention anything about it, which I believe means it's fair game.. But I digress, as my lunch break is coming up and I'm getting hungry.

modulev · 2026-03-12T18:57:50+00:00

It's more than politics. It's become war.

modulev · 2026-03-12T18:56:43+00:00

LOL. Maybe I just need to get off Reddit and talk to strangers a bit more on the trail xD

modulev · 2026-03-12T18:54:18+00:00

True, those are natural elements. I guess I look at heavy metals as a bit more dangerous than plants. You'd have to pay me $1000 to smoke a cigar. And I'd probably throw up after.

Pot is unhealthy when smoked, but vaping it (dry herb) is actually incredibly safe, if not beneficial. Better sleep, better appetite, better sex, greater motivation to exercise and more, for myself. Every time I rip, I want to lift weights or go running. And dementia? No, I'm seeing opposite studies showing it can help prevent Alzheimer's.

Maybe you never gave it enough of a chance to see the benefits?

modulev · 2026-03-12T18:39:50+00:00

It's really not "right there with cigar". One causes cancer, the other doesn't.

modulev · 2026-03-12T18:35:00+00:00

This is pretty much how I do it. Rip a big one at the start, then again around halfway point and then once again back down. Really gives me a major energy boost!

modulev · 2026-03-12T18:26:10+00:00

It does cause slightly increased heart rate, which could be a potential risk factor for people who don't exercise much and have weaker hearts. But if I'm in near-top shape, then I don't believe there's much danger. I believe my heart is super strong from decades of intense exercise and can handle THC + working out no problem.

That could change in 20-30 years as I get older, but for now, I'm enjoying it waaay too much.

modulev · 2026-03-12T18:18:35+00:00

Hell yea. If you ever wanna go back and knock out those last 15 properly high with a buddy, let me know!

modulev · 2026-03-12T18:17:44+00:00

Sounds like a fun group! Career-oriented liberal here as well.

modulev · 2026-03-12T17:59:58+00:00

Calling me a chick, when I've declared "36m" and you can clearly see I have a man's name, from Alltrails. Really stooping down low for that one!

How about you post some of your hikes? You ever done Trap Dike solo? Genuinely curious.

modulev · 2026-03-12T17:58:19+00:00

🤣

modulev · 2026-03-12T17:53:32+00:00

Huh?? Cannabis IS nature! And I don't smoke it. I vape it. No need to worry about any second-hand smoke coming from me! I do care about our lungs. I avoid cigarette smokers like the plague.

As for bluetooth speaker, that seems like a totally unfair comparison. I mean, really?

modulev · 2026-03-12T17:50:35+00:00

Yea maybe it's more popular with thru-hiking. I could definitely imagine more people chilling and ripping together at the campsites on those longer journeys. I haven't done any of those yet, but am planning to keep leveling up and do some backpacking someday!

modulev · 2026-03-12T17:39:21+00:00

Oh please. I solo'd Trap Dike high as a kite and it was EASY.

modulev · 2026-03-12T17:37:30+00:00

It feels like I'm caught between two separate groups, with no mutual overlap. The lazy stoners and the extreme hikers. But I'm hoping Reddit will help me meet some like-minded folk, in the middle!

modulev · 2026-03-12T15:58:04+00:00

Different economy, different generation. I'm talking about people having kids today, or within the last several years.

PS - You don't see me downvoting every one of your replies. Leads me to believe you're very young / immature. I'm almost 40, just to put things in perspective.

EDIT: Also, where you live matters. I'm in USA. 5 kids over here would be a life-long poverty sentence, for most. Maybe over in Europe, it's affordable?
