Spam musubi (which is basically spam teriyaki in a flat rice ball) is delicious. I was surprised, as someone who had never had spam before but always heard it being ridiculed.
Might as well, not like any of us have a future. The most you can hope for is you live past retirement age and get to eat cat food and lay in your own filth in a nursing home. We could fix all our problems easily step 1. Don’t listen to the economists step 2. Don’t listen to the shamens, but we won’t.
Smoking weed or consuming cannabinoids and binge drinking are two completely different categories.
Alcohol is more unhealthy and potentially connected to social issues right from the drop, and regular binge drinking implies alcoholism as opposed to someone who might be consuming cannabis moderately.
In the end, taking cannabis and/or alcohol in moderation is perfectly ok for adults and shouldn't be something that we consider taboo.
I don't think that's the right takeaway for this story. It's not meant to be a comparison between the activities. The fact that there's a marked rise in all of these categories, though, is still a concern, because they're all unhealthy habits which point to a larger societal issue at hand.
I’m in my forties and last year I got a wild hair and thought that I should try cannabis at least once in my life, and I bought a gummy to try. I spent all night waiting for anything to happen, and just ended up going to bed. I’m missing out on what these people in the article are doing I guess because that was just boring.
It’s very common to not feel anything the first time. I don’t know if there is a scientific reason why, I’d be interested to see a study on it. My guess is dosing issues and maybe preconceptions getting in the way.
You can always try again with a higher dose and/or different delivery method. Edibles especially are difficult to dose because they kick in 2h+ after ingestion and heavily depend on metabolism. Inhalation is essentially immediate.
Edibles heavily depend on your weight and how much you’ve had to eat, so I can’t say. Smoking/vaping is easier because the effects are immediate so you can dose as you go.
Luckily you can’t OD, so the worst thing that happens is you get really nauseous. You’d have to take A LOT for that to happen though, or combine it with alcohol.
You can always try a dab pen. Those are really easy and, most likely, you’d get immediately blasted after just one hit. Downside is that the intake method definitely affects the high and dab pens are one of the worst ways to go, or so I’ve heard.
Edibles flat do not work for me. Smoking/vaping however does the trick every single time. Some people are just wired different, you may be one of those people.
Broken arm and they wouldn’t give me any pain meds, I decided to try cannabis. Best painkiller ever. Now I pop a gummy just about every Saturday night, or before a flight. As a whole it is enjoyable but for four or so hours I am pretty much useless. With booze I can still get some stuff done.
I remember my friends and I smoked like $500 in weed in one night to celebrate our high school graduation. It was my first time. The only difference I remember feeling is my throat hurting and getting the munchies.
You might just not be affected by gummies, other edibles may work for you. If you're in a legal state, tinctures and vape carts are a good way to experience it.
I'm like you in that edibles really don't affect me (I've had close to a gram before I felt anything), but I enjoy microdosing with THC carts.
Binge drinking aside; weed being legalized in a number of states over the past decade, in addition to this generation realizing the war on drugs was pure nonsense, yeah of course people enjoy getting high. More than likely their reporting is that more people are comfortable admitting they like to party due to society’s relaxing views on drug use.
A world on the brink of all-out war again, political parties diving head first into the shallow end of fascism, and increasing signs that mother earth is going to shake us off like a bad case of the fleas.
Yep. Pass the bong brothers and sisters and don’t skimp on the micro-dose.
I’ve met someone who swore it was terrible. They didn’t realize that people fried it up first. They’d been trying to eat sliced spam sandwiches straight from the can.
If he was stupid enough to participate in the January 6 insurrection, he’ll be stupid enough to get caught.
Additionally, if there’s ever a reward for turning him in, I’d fully expect that the least stupid of his associates is going to get a few bucks in their pocket, and a clean break from the shit show.
