    I feel like a lot of the problems could be solved if you could get some low potency stuff instead of the weapons grade stuff they all sell.

      You could just smoke less. I would rather inhale as little as possible. Use a one hitter and both problems solved. Lighter on your wallet too. Then there’s always the option of mixing in CBD or something as a buffer if you prefer to smoke giant blunts or something for ego.

        Yeah, but smoking(well, in my case, vaping the dry flower, but same thing really) something is part of the fun for a lot of people. You sit there, occasionally taking a puff, and it’s all part of the relaxation ritual.

        So when I imbibe, I would inevitably get totally zooted if I smoked the stuff I used to get online, or lived in America.

        Hapily I live in Australia, and the only dealer I know is an old lady who sells bush weed of questionable quality at best, and I carefully don’t look for any other sources. So I can sit there and take constant little hits and get pleasantly stoned as fuck without having to worry about things like inability to walk.

          You can still get stains marketed as high CBD/low THC that don’t get you blitzed. As a skeptic of the claimed benefits of CBD, I still go for those because I don’t want to melt into my couch.

              Those are harder to find for me in the US. They were a thing for a while then just vanished. So now I just buy cdb by itself and mix it in. Still kinda hard to find CBD locally, but online has some really amazing options. If and when it comes to you hopefully it’s not like that.

            Yeah and then get anhedonia coupled with all the thinking time you’ve been having fooling you into old issues opening up old wounds in your mind and fueling depression

            Then you quit, realize it’s not bad without, live a while then find a reason to have a few tokes again because yolo

            And then your tolerance is back in one day, weed tastes better now than it did and got cheaper so you rejoice and then get anhedonia

                Since you agree, may I inquire about your opinion on ambition

                What I mean is, I still see myself smoking all day everyday if I ever were to “make it”. Say we are billionaires, what would we do all day?

                I would feel terrible about owning more than I need, burning fuel for selfish reasons and truthfully could get the best products tailor made so would not need to consume anything after for quite a while

                I still believe at that point I would be fucked up on weed and growing it.

                I don’t know if this mindstate is wrong anymore. Capitalism is geared towards hedonism

                  The problem I see with the anhedonia is that it comes from the cannabis replacing all the pleasurable chemical signals in your brain that come from other stuff.

                  If you basically have a nice farm in the country, fuck-you money, etc, and all the weed you’d ever want, then yes, you could be happy, in a way, smoking 24/7. But you’d never get anywhere beyond that, because the pleasure of doing anything else would be hard to feel, and it would be way easier to feel happy from the weed.

                  That’s one reason I save it for rare occasions now.

                  Of course, the problem with my theory above is that I also stopped because it was no longer fun.

      The potency is crazy. I don’t get the edibles.

      “Take 1/4 of this and it will wreck you”

      Why would I eat 1/4 of a gummie bear and save it for later? Why can’t I just eat a bowl of gummies, through the night, like beer?

      I really enjoyed the D8(?) thc. Didn’t cause tolerance buildup like regular weed and kept my head from getting fuzzy. Also prevented me from getting totally zooted - it actually just took the edge off like I want.

      Yeah I think lower grade potency would really see a market. Like gimme some ditch weed that I can tell usee to be a brick and that I can pick the seeds out of. Those old head supply lines gotta still be around right?

        Idk what’s available where u are at but I can legally purchase anything from what I would describe as green crack that a bowl of will have me off my rocker to some mid ass outdoor shit that a joint of wouldn’t get my left eyeball stoned. The last state I lived in did not offer any “cheap” weed however, not sure why more variety is available up here

      The THC seltzers solved that problem for me. Where I live, plenty of 2 and 5mg options for those with low tolerance.
