Marijuana Legalization/Decriminalization Efforts

You're not going to smell like it unless you've smoked recently or don't ever wash your clothes. Especially if you're vaping, you're not going to smell it after a couple minutes if at all. Edibles are definitely a good way to go considering what you're looking for. Make sure you get it from a reliable source that's actually measured. The homemade stuff is usually hit or miss, and not normally accurate at all.

My gf gets paranoid on thc. It fucks her anxiety too. I'm the exact opposite. Cannabinoids are just weird like that.

Oh, I should've mentioned, I also just do not want to smoke. Ever since I quit smoking cigarettes about 12 years ago I just do not want to smoke. Just a me thing is all.

I don't want to smoke or vape. My boss hates weed smokers or people that smell like it. Our office on the 1st or 3rd borderline smells like it all day from the walk ins paying their bill. I'm chill at home but still drink too much. I think if the edibles do me better than the meds it more than likely will curb my heavy drinking as well.

What I'm looking for is what Xanax does for me. When I thought I was going to have a panic attack I'd take a Xanax (I think .5mg? idk) and then everything was fine. People could yell at me and it didn't matter. I felt more focused on work than scatterbrained. So that's what I'm hoping to achieve.

Oooh, you definitely want something that's a sativa, and more CBD (15~22%) over THC (5~10%). Maybe White Widow. Has a clear-headed high usually. Pass up indica if you can.

I'm sure the have caps or edibles for it -- White Widow is pretty easy to grow at least.

Hey um....if you are really bored and want to help a dude out (or anyone else) google search products from shops around the 48103 zip. That's what I was looking at a few days ago. I've never been a smoker really so I'm not familiar with it like y'all!

Lets see about it!

Have you tried vaping dry herb instead? I just bought a new vape for about 100 bucks. You can set the temperature down to the digit. goes up to 446 F and does dry herb, oil, and wax.

I bought a Pure Hit from the same company about 2 years ago. My warranty ran out so I couldn't get heating chambers anymore for it. It was a pretty big design flaw that all the vapor would travel around the electronics of the heating chamber and destroyed them, makes it impossible to clean too.

The aura has a completely self contained air path, so that solves that problem. I'm very impressed with it so far.

I have not. If edibles or capsules are a no go for me I'll def check it out.

You're lucky my mans, you got a ton of different places near you without much travel at all. And almost all of them have edibles. Unfortunately, they don't have THC/CBD rates for any of them, so you'll have to do some additional sleuthing and phone calls. I'll PM ya a number of them in a sec!

Protip: Save your vaped weed and you can make edibles of your own with it.

It's one of the biggest reasons I started vaping, every bit of weed I use gets used twice, once through the vape and again in edibles.

Plus you get way more thc/cbd from vaping then smoking, the act of lighting weed on fire destroys a significant portion.

And it tastes so much fucking better. If you smoke a bowl after smoking a vape all you will be able to taste is smoke.

if weed isn't your thing, i think microdosing psychadelics are known to help treat depression and anxiety, like magic mushrooms - obviously you'd have to dose at a subpsychadelic threshhold, unless you want to experience crazy stuff at work. obviously that's illegal as well, though. (though the gods know why when they're the least damaging drugs of all, even lower than weed.)

a legal option you could try is syrian rue (Peganum harmala), which i take myself - it's pretty cheap, like 30 bucks for a lb of seed, and a normal dose is about 3 grams. it's a RIMA, which is sorta like a MAO inhibitor, but only lasts several hours instead of weeks. it's an antidepressent as well as a muscle relaxant - i take it to deal with my back pain. before i took it i was having serious issues. now i still get slight aches by the end of a day standing at work, but it's barely anything and quickly fades once i rest. i also noticed it made me a bit more cheerful and talkative, as well as relaxed. that said, it DOES have a few side effects and warnings - namely, you can't combine it with certain medications. look at the list of MAOI dont mix drug list to see what not to talk with it, as it can enhance certain drugs quite a bit. you can ignore the food list of the MAOI interactions though - RIMA's aren't nearly as bad, and i've never had issues eating things like jerky or caffiene, or chocolate. as for side effects, the main issue is nausea and vertigo, as well as purging from both ends. however! syrian rue is weird in that it has a sort of "reverse tolerance". that is, the more you take it, the less you need, the less often, and the milder the effects get. i had issues at first with 3 grams, so lessened it to 2 to start. eventually it got to the point where i only had to take it once a day instead of twice to get the same benefits, and 3 grams no longer gave me more than slight nausea. after a few months i don't even get that, just a slight dizziness sometimes thats easily ignored. even if i miss a dose a day or two, the positive effects linger. as far as i know it's non-addictive.

it DOES also have another side effect or two due to the other compounds in the plant - one is a hallucinogen and another causes vertigo with any movement you make. at 3 grams its not noticable except maybe the first week or two. that said... its not fun. XD took 4 grams once and oh god. never again. 8 hours trying not to move in my bed because the slightest movement of any muscle would make me feel i was in that giant gyroscope thing NASA astronauts use, and afterimages of things moving lingered in the air.

there's also extracts of harmaline and harmine, the RIMA components of syrian rue. this causes less nausea and avoids the other side effects. it's even possible to do the extraction yourself, with i think vinegar and salt. if you try anything though, DON'T. TASTE. IT. grind the seeds in a coffee grinder and put it in capsules. the stuff tastes like coffee from hell. it's one of the most disgustingly bitter things ever. i usually swallow the pills with soda to hide any residual powder that might linger on the capsules.

i'm not sure if it will help your own anxiety, but it just might. i know it stopped my own muscles from tensing unconciously all the time. i also seem to have more energy and move a bit faster.

...there are other people on this board who use Syrian Rue?!

...there are other people on this board who use Syrian Rue?!

^ o-o? i thought i was the only one. XD started using it about 4 months ago when i found out. love the stuff. i mean, other than the taste. and the inevitable burp or two that occurs after taking it. :shudder: i try and eat a light snack when i dose to hide the taste when i burp, and blow that foul tasting air out as fast as possible. still worth the minor irritation from that though. and totally worth the week or so of hell when i first started, lol.

keep thinking of trying to do an extraction but so lazy.

I also wear Sea-Bands (like 9 bucks at wal-marts pharmacy section) to help counter the nausea. helped a ton, took the nausea and vertigo to nearly nothing when i used them. i honestly don't need them anymore now that the side effects have vanished, but still nice to have em around. can also try ginger or the like to counter it, but i cant stand ginger except in curry. everyone who's asked me about the bands had no clue what syrian rue even was when i told them why i wore them.

MN Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka hints that the Republican-controlled Senate will block efforts to legalize recreational marijuana.

His new argument is that with opioid and distracted driving (cell phones) bills being introduced, that it would be irresponsible to introduce and/or pass an recreational marijuana bill at this time.

Welp, Saturday will be my first edibles test. One of my wife's trusted friends husband has his card and he's going to buy me these tablets. I plan to take one at 10 a.m. and see how the day goes.

Yeah that shit never happened. Guy said he didn't know his card was expired. So I got off my ass and went to the clinic. Just like my friend said it was literally a mill. But, per them I'm approved and I need to get a cashiers check and mail my file into the state. They said it will take 4-5 weeks but I can get stuff delivered in the mean time. I don't have the card for delivery with me but the site was something like 420highway or something.

For edibles all they have is some stupid expensive (to me at least) cookie and capsules. The latter is $59 for a bottle of 30. It's 25mg CBD. The CBD oil I have at work says 100mg so I was confused why I'd want to pay so much for less. Well, I'm an idiot. The bottle is 100mg. Two droppers is 30ml of Hemp Oil. So, I'm going to be in for a big surprise more than likely once I try something.

i'm excited for weed pills to become the new quaaludes.

Now I'm laughing at work thinking about the Steven Madden and boat in the storm scene in Wolf of Wall Street. Damn it, I think I'm going to watch that tonight now! Needed a good laugh today.

North Dakota to open their first medical marijuana dispensary on Friday.

The Botanist will sell medical marijuana produced by a Bismarck manufacturing facility. Wahl says that initially it will have dried leaves and flowers and two types of concentrates. Those are two of six forms allowed under state law. The dispensary will add more forms later.

[Kalmado]

Last Friday I received my capsules and one cookie. Haven't tried the cookie which is labeled as 27% THC 1.2% CBD 0.78% CBN. Did capsules on Saturday and Monday, which are labeled as being 0.75% CBD 0.1% CBN (25mg CBD per bottle label). Saturday I felt smiley. Not high smiley but just pleasant. Monday I didn't have my typical feeling of my throat closing before work and while nothing super stupid stood out from work that day I never had a feeling of annoyance or anger or anxiety like I usually do at least once a day. I was an idiot though last night and drank a "normal" amount for myself and woke up at around 2 a.m. violently ill. Probably shouldn't do the alcohol thing anymore. This is going to sound silly but I'm sort of afraid of what the cookie is going to do to me. I'm going to try a nibble on Saturday around noon to see how it goes.
