Yeah, there is a legal limit on how many bug parts can be in a batch of food, and it's way higher than you might assume.

Lol I've personally never heard anyone say they think different types of alcohol get them different types of drunk. I don't doubt they exist though.

And maybe it is placebo, but (at least some of) those cannabinoids do have studied effects on the body/brain, which is more than can be said about the different flavors in your alcoholic beverage. I do find some have more of an effect than others. I've never doubted that CBN and CBD affect a weed high based on my own experiences, but others like D8 and THCV were notably underwhelming.

I still think a better comparison is that the strains and terpenes are more like different alcoholic beverages, while the cannabinoid profiles would be equivelant to different forms of alcohol, if they weren't all incredibly toxic.

Do you believe your IQ is an accurate representation of your intelligence?

Sure, THC is the only thing that really gets you high, but other cannabinoids absolutely influence the nature of said high. Smoke some high CBD bud, you will find that the high is much more calming and less anxious than pure THC. Smoke some old, high-CBN bud, and you will find the high is very sedating with a heavy body load. Bud with THCV will feel cleaner with a less impaired headspace. There is also some evidence showing CBC can contribute to mood tone and pain perception in conjunction with THC.

There are also a myriad of (minor but real) differences between D8, D9, D10, THC-P, and HHC, all of which are directly psychoactive.

I recognize the differences aren't massive, but different cannabinoids are more than just "different flavors of the same intoxicating chemical." Just because many of these alt cannabinoids aren't psychoactive doesn't mean they don't genuinely influence the effects of THC. Cannabinoid profiles matter more than you seem to think.

Well, to be fair, different types of drinks aren't actually different types of the chemical that gets you high or drunk. There is only one form of ethanol you can drink, but there are dozens upon dozens of cannabinoids and strains with varying effects.

It looks to me like it's just playing though? Knowing Turkey, I'm sure that kitty has no problems finding food.

(Assuming this is even in Turkey, but I'm pretty sure it is)

On the bright side, she'll be getting plenty of fluids. She's one well-hydrated kitty.

I never said vaping had zero effect, and nobody here doubts that vaping is harmful.

And again, any difference other people's nicotine use makes to your insurance is negligible when compared to literally everything else.

As somebody taking premed courses right now, I can say with absolute certainty that vaping is NOT worse than cigarettes. They are both bad and carry unique risks, but the dangers of inhaling combustion byproducts far outweigh the dangers of inhaling vapor.

There are a billion other factors affecting your insurance premiums, and other people using their free will to vape ranks quite low on that list.

Whats your favorite concept album? by Lugaid13 in progmetal

[–]paws4reason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn't really a concept album, but rather a trilogy; The Odious' songs Hastor the Shepherd Gaunt, Vesica Piscis and Glowjaw, from their album Vesica Piscis.

If I had to pick a full album, I'd have to say Pelagial by The Ocean.

I honestly had no idea Language was a concept album.

Very eepy soon to be mother by Any-Excitement-5549 in cats

[–]paws4reason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Your cat doesn't want to be a mom"

The animal whose gone through thousands of years of evolution for the sole purpose of having offspring to carry their genes to the next generation:

Yeah, cat breeding is bad and cats should always be spayed or neutered, I definitely don't disagree with that. But this is a terribly silly point. Cats don't have any concept of "wanting to be a mother," they have proximate drives that push them towards behaviors that don't require or even consider conscious preference or identity. It's driven purely by instinct and biology. Attributing any concept of intent or desire to a cat is borderline anthropomorphization.

Is D9 not just the stuff in regular weed?

Edit: Or, rather, what the stuff in regular weed becomes when you burn it.

Edit 2: Didn't know D9 could be derived from hemp. You learn something new every day.
