Just ate two cannabis caramels. 10g apiece.

[Aristus]

Looking forward to a relaxing day...

[seshers]

1. Well, then...

May the force be with you.

[Aristus]

2. And Also With You...

[fleur-de-lisa]

3. I'm jealous Aristus. Stuck in an office today.

[Aristus]

6. I'm sorry, fleur-de-lisa.

Hope you don't have to work too hard.

It's a shame we couldn't have the whole Cannabis forum here right now to relax and chill out together...

[fleur-de-lisa]

17. The ironic thing is I write a lot at work and I find I can focus much better with Cannabis.

But my hillbilly state just got around to approving it for certain medical purposes. We may never get it approved for recreational use.

[Aristus]

19. Well, it's a step in the right direction.

Keep advocating for legalization. It may happen before you know it.

[SWBTATTReg]

26. Too much money in it for them to not eventually make it legal...

just a matter of time and states running out of ways to easily raise money...

[walkingman]

37. I know the feeling (Texas) but I'm hoping that change will happen soon. Keep Hope Alive!

[onetexan]

105. I wouldn't say never

Willy Nelson who lives in Spicewood outside of Austin does cannabis all the time

[Faux pas]

4. That's

a lot, isn't it? Lol party on down Aristus!

[Aristus]

7. I'm not going anywhere today.

I haven't had a vacation in four years, so some time off is just what the doctor (I mean, Physician Assistant) ordered...

[Faux pas]

14. Enjoy!

[Aristus]

15. Thanks, neighbor!

[SCantiGOP]

59. DO NOT come visit me today

You will become a filthy criminal the moment you cross the stateline.

[Faux pas]

110. It's sunny

here today, how is it in your neck of the woods?

[Aristus]

111. Cool and mostly sunny.

My kind of day.

[Raster]

5. Num Num!

[Bradshaw3]

8. Indica, sativa, hybrid?

Haven't tried caramels yet. Usually it's chocolate or brownies.

[Aristus]

9. I think it's Indica.

The packaging only disclosed the dosage.

[Bradshaw3]

10. That makes a difference, at least to me

I usualy get hybrids or indica cuz I like the body effect more than a head high. But each to his own. Enjoy.

[Aristus]

12. I forget which one is supposed to give the head-high.

But at any rate, I've got a good one going right now...

[samnsara]

38. sativa....indica makes you go to sleep but a nice hybrid will do both

[SCantiGOP]

58. the mnemonic to remember:

Sativa is for Stamina
Indica is for In da couch (not on the couch, since you could get up, but IN the couch)

My wife refers to the Indica as her "Big Picture" pot, and the Sativa as the regular stuff.
Glad I have family in Colorado that I visit several times a year. Always stash an ounce in a sock in my dirty clothes bag for the trip home; never had a problem.

[lunasun]

16. It does make a big big difference two separate results imo . Opposite for me sativa here

I usually pass on heavy indicas ...I don't want to feel like that I want the head stuff but as you say we each enjoy our own......

[BigmanPigman]

67. I have insomnia and have smoked every night for about 20 years

so I could sleep better. About 3 months ago I met a person who was vaping in the park and I tried it. It knocked me for a loop and it was a surprise. When I needed to get more Indica (top shelf) at my local shop I went and asked about vaping. I bought a disposable one with India and WHAT A DIFFERENCE from smoking a joint, bong or pipe. I don't know why. It makes me cough but it knocks me out and I actually can sleep. I did the math and it is actually cheaper than getting weed. I have no idea why. The pros at the shop say people are different. If there was proper support scientifically from the federal govt we would be able to break it down and have specific amounts of the various chemicals in pot and their intensity and effects.

[lunasun]

71. Prohibition has been nothing but negative as far as acquiring new knowledge . Look at all

the sick people and kids we are lately finding out now can be helped , cbd oil benefits - my cat got cbd oil near the end at a vets suggestion. She said about 2 years ago she wants to tell everyone now about its anti inflammatory benefits it is a mj sup that does not get you high -no thc .

If it had been 5 yrs ago it would not have been that available or at all even though it has no thc content ,and he would have endured more inflammation without an easy fix. I know a couple people never smoked didn't want to get high but they illegally got pot years ago while in cancer treatments and it helped . This is at least now often available in a pharma form but back then nah people suffered

This is all besides just the folks who already were using and could have used cleaner stuff not full of pesticides etc. now the stuff at least is clean and knowledge is becoming more open so just like the different qualities of fine wine and where the grapes are grown is known and you get to know your stuff and what you like.

[BigmanPigman]

72. A year ago I saw on the local news how pot can be used to help

dogs with arthritis. I went to the place I get mine from and got wax and gave my 7 pound dog about the amount the size of a grain of rice. She could barely stand up and she looked like she was going to die. I took her to the emergency pet hospital and they had to keep her overnight and they called my regular vet who gave me a talk about it. Since then a large dispensary has opened up and they have a whole line of pet products with the details on the packages. If I ever consider trying it again for my dog I am asking her regular vet first.

[lunasun]

74. Of course not just humans , many animals have suffered from the negativity of prohibition too!

It's in a skin cream what we used rubbed on open area (tip of ear was our choice )and cbd does not produce any 'high' because no thc
Please consult a vet that knows dosing and this is not meant to replace a vet but just a read and this was not the product I used but this has an explanation

[BigmanPigman]

75. Thank you!!!

[CountAllVotes]

106. My 215 doctor gives her old cat CBD oil

She said it helps the poor old guy. He's almost 20 and has a pretty bad case of arthritis and it helps him to get the rest he needs and gives him a break from the pain.

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. The downside of edibles

You don't know the strain.
Everything else tho is good about edibles.
but 20 mg would put me down for ...well, however long of a time it would be...

[Aristus]

23. Two hours in,

And I'm bouncing around the house doing chores...

[beveeheart]

28. I don't think that's indica.

I just want to rest on the couch with indica, not do a bunch of housework.

[Aristus]

30. I'm a little light-headed (which is what I wanted...)

But no problems so far...

[samnsara]

40. yeah ur high on sativa. I get a nice sativa for daytime and indica or hybrid for nite

[lunasun]

91. Sativa good strains for creativity / mind work too . I find some precision work clearer some strains

go beyond stimulation but sort of pass for temporary enhancement imo
Going back and looking over things when not under the influence only confirm but you can't be walking around like that all the time cuz wear you out whether physical or mental & that's not good . Some people do too much imo probably the same with indica I imagine you don't want to melt into the couch and stay there either

[lunasun]

89. Yep that is my choice sativa all the way ...well nice hybrids too.

[pnwest]

11. Sheesh - that IS a lot! You're gonna

be asleep in three hours, LOL!

[cilla4progress]

13. Oh wow -

funny you should mention it...

So, last weekend we had dinner with friends who also like to imbibe. (Nicely here in Washington where it's all legal! 👍 . The plan was to have a fun Dutch oven dinner cooked over bonfire coals. It was delicious!

They had an mj vape device - my first time. No biggie. It uses mj oil, I believe.

Well, apparently, they also put mj oil in the Dutch oven banana bread, which I didn't quite catch... and I stuffed that sucker down.

Within an hour I was catatonic. I figured it was from the vape. I was paranoid all night long trying to sleep; felt like a psychotic break of some sort! Still thought it was the vape.

In the morning, I heard husband say he was hungover and he "reminded" me about the b. bread. Good thing they are good friends!

It's now Friday. I'm just starting to come out of the brain fog! Headache and nausea all week! I'm a relatively small person, and I know I can't eat too much in baked goods from prior experience.

Any thoughts when it will clear, or ever experienced this? Haven't imbibed all week - feel like I might be off thc for awhile!

Enjoy your day, anyway, Aristus!

[Aristus]

18. When I started using cannabis a couple of years ago,

I stuck with edibles and sub-lingual sprays. But they took too long to get going.

S I purchased a couple of joints. They worked pretty fast, but the high was here and gone in about 30 minutes. It just wasn't worth inhaling all that smoke.

So I'm sticking to candy. I just start early enough on a day off that it wears off by the time I need to actually do anything...

[cilla4progress]

20. Cool

idea.

Have you ever heard of a week-long mj hangover?

[Aristus]

21. No. I hope I don't get one. I've got a Derby Party to go to tomorrow.

Any hints on alleviating it if it happens?

[samnsara]

29. you will be OK with 20 unless youre not used to edibles....

....but to get off the high (if its unpleasant) drink some orange juice...the sugar brings you down.

[cilla4progress]

45. I doubt you will, at your dosage.

No - no hints. It's not been fun. Water and sleep seem to be the best help.

Have a fun day and weekend!

[Aristus]

50. Thanks for the tips, both of you.

I appreciate it.

[samnsara]

34. drink some OJ...

[cilla4progress]

48. Really?

I'll have an orange this morning (no juice and too far out in the sticks to easily pick up). I feel nauseous in the mornings, so no appetite. And no, at 63, it's not morning sickness -

[Glamrock]

24. Goddamn man!

My brother Aristus, not fucking around! Go big or go home baby!

[Aristus]

25. I started my vacation last Friday, and I've had an obligation

nearly every day since.

I've got the whole day today, so I'm going to make the most of it...

[Glamrock]

31. Good for you!

I took the risk on 4/20 and had a couple bowls. It was wonderful. Can't wait for it to be legal nationwide so I can go back to being a pothead!

[Aristus]

36. Soon...

Very soon, I hope...

When influential Republicans like John Boehner start investing in the business, you know they're going to drag other Repubs out of the Dark Ages before too long.

[Glamrock]

39. Yep.

I give it three to five years.

[samnsara]

27. I made some snickerdoodles using an entire CUP of bud flour..

...the cookies were bright green. I ate part of one and nearly greened out. They were about 250 each. I tossed them ( safely and dog resistant) away.

[Glamrock]

35. WHAT?!?!?!?!

That's drug abuse! And drug abuse is a crime!

[BBG]

107. 420 Bars

Used to be able to get these wicked 420 mg bars at the dispensary. But recreational rules forbade such dosage. The bar was scored 6 ways, 70 mg each. A very fine all day dose.

[CrispyQ]

32. I indulged in this little treat this week:

It's so good they need to make a non-med version so you can eat more. I'm saving mine for late afternoon when I sit out with the cat.

[Aristus]

41. Ooh, I don't like spicy flavors...

So have all you want, and enjoy!

[CrispyQ]

44. I remember the first time I had chocolate with chili in it.

This version, with the raspberry, is much better! But I'm happy to take your share! Enjoy your day off!

[Aristus]

46. I love this forum.

It makes me wish everyone in the world could chill for a little bit, stop killing one another, listen to some good music, and re-gain our humanity...

[cilla4progress]

51. Haha -

yes, I was joking earlier in the week...I wonder if I will experience a permanent personality change? For example, I found myself listening more to music!

Seriously...I've been slightly high all week!

[Aristus]

53. I should aspire to that.

[beveeheart]

62. I have not seen that flavor at my dispensary in Boulder.

Will request it the next time I go because I love a similar flavored yogurt.

[Aristus]

42. It takes a while.

But I can't smoke it. It hurts my lungs, and the high doesn't last long enough.

Welcome to DU!

[C_U_L8R]

43. Happy Friday !

[Aristus]

47. You too!

And so far, it is...

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

49. Almost 3/4s of an ounce in two chewies....

Oh boy. Never did it but it seems like thats going to be an experience. Dont drive anywhere.

[Aristus]

52. Don't worry. I won't.

I'm housebound for the day...

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

68. Heh heh.

Right on Rasta Man.

[ailsagirl]

54. Enjoy your relaxing day, Aristus

[Aristus]

55. I will, thank you.

[ailsagirl]

56. .....

[Aristus]

57. Hmm...

are you?...... ...a little there, too?...

[ailsagirl]

70. .....

[Aristus]

73. HA!

[ailsagirl]

87. Well, actually...

right now I'm more like this


or close to it. Will I never learn not to do some things during the day??

[Aristus]

88. Well, rest up and get 'em next time...

[Blue Owl]

60. See you on the other side!

[Aristus]

61. Four hours in, and doing fine...

[SWBTATTReg]

63. Just laughing here...are chocolate chip cookies sounding good now? nt

[Aristus]

64. No, but the other half of my falafel sandwich down in the fridge is...

It's nearly lunchtime anyway...

[In_The_Wind]

65. Sounds wonderful!

[Aristus]

66. My head is swimming, but I still managed to get a shit-ton of chores done this morning!

[Canoe52]

69. Working from home, hit on some nice mello homegrown.

[Aristus]

78. Mine slammed me in the head four or five times since noon or so.

But the effect is fading. I actually got a lot done today, including an hour of cardio. I guess in order to achieve mellow, I need to try a different strain...

[lunasun]

92. Some of my favorites I've scored just cut off like an engine. No need to mellow you just return

to starting point ....and no crash either if you are lucky !

[Aristus]

93. Yeah, no crash, I'm happy to say.

I just kind of gently touched feet to Earth again...

[lunasun]

96. Aristus has landed

[MontanaMama]

76. Never tried cannabis caramels

because I don’t have a “card”. I’m envious! But, I regularly buy CBD caramels at a local dispensary and they are lovely. There are so many uses for CBD and I’m grateful I can at least get that. Enjoy your evening!

[Aristus]

80. In Washington State, cannabis is available over-the-counter. No medical card needed.

Cannabis shops are like liquor stores. You just walk in, show your ID to the guy at the door, and then take your pic of merchandise. There are always knowledgable and helpful clerks behind the counter to help you make your purchase.

[MontanaMama]

82. My hubs and son

are in Spokane this weekend for a baseball tournament. Sounds like I should have been the parent that went along instead of staying home with the pet menagerie. Sheesh. 3 short hours away. 🙄

[Aristus]

83. Tell them to pick something up for you...

[MontanaMama]

84. They'd be mortified!

I’m the hippie try anything once gal. Those two sit back and roll their eyes. My dog’s dentist is in Spokane. Mama will have her day! 😜

[Aristus]

86. Yes! Slip away sometime, and treat yourself...

[randr]

77. By now you must be reconsidering your next dose

Hope you had a nice trip

[Aristus]

79. Yeah, I'm going to call it quits this time around.

Only have one more caramel anyway.

Next time, I'll get the sublingual spray again.

[randr]

81. My last few edible experiences

Led me to the same conclusion. I am ok w CBD but the THC s way too good. Ill add that I have smoked nothing but the best bud for decades and the new edibles are a challenge.

[MontanaMama]

85. Tell me more.

I’m very interested in edibles...I can’t smoke. What’s your take?

[randr]

90. Im not down w smoking much either

Did get a cool vape pipe and process my own grown when ever I feel the urge. Otherwise I have found CBD products, sprays, edibles, and salves, helpful for what all ails me. At my age I have numerous ails.

[lunasun]

98. Glad to hear you have found help for your ails through cbd and all the products available now.

I said upthread my cat was on it for inflammation . I am so glad it was availble

[MontanaMama]

99. CBD has been a game changer

for sleep for me. No more ambien, melatonin etc. Topical CBD with lavender and other essential oils for aches and pains are also must haves in our house. I’m super curious about CBD for your cat???? How did you administer that? My kitty, Louis, would eat me alive if I tried to slip that by him.

[lunasun]

100. It was in a cream meant for pets and applied on ear area free of hair so transdermal path

but there are edible treats and tincture drops too
depends on what it's used for

[MontanaMama]

101. I'll have to look into

what’s possible with CBD for pets. Thank you for the nudge.

[CountAllVotes]

104. Be cautious with lavender around cats

The plant itself is safe.

The tinctures, creams, soaps, etc. are not safe for cats.

Thanks to everyone reading this fyi post.

[MontanaMama]

108. Yes.

You’re correct. Stick to products formulated for pets. Run it by your vet if not sure.

[CountAllVotes]

109. Just because it is "natural" does not mean a thing

[lunasun]

94. Just curious turned out not the high time you expected? I'm wondering because I find

Sativa users in the minority among folks I know.
I always ask why not but they usually answer by telling why indica or some diom hybrid is wanted

[Aristus]

95. The high was nice and powerful, as I was expecting.

But there was the fear that it wouldn't dissipate when I wanted it to. That's okay; I'm back down to Earth now...

[lunasun]

97. Let the group know how that one Carmel works out instead of two if you get another day off !

[Aristus]

103. I will...

[SonofDonald]

102. Just hit the indigo pen, again

Capsule is a.......damn I can't remember

But it tastes like blackberry

Now if I can remember where I put it.........
