I used to smoke a lot of weed.

[NightWatcher]

Not as much as I currently smoke, but I used to smoke a lot.

1. I would smoke a lot more if I could afford it.

Being poor sucks in so many ways.

[secondwind]

2. Sounds like you smoke more now

3. I have found vaping to be superior to smoking in every way.

Take a given amount, say a gram. I think I get four to five times the use and effectiveness with the vaporizer vs. combustion.

No ashtrays nor lighters required.

Vastly less coughing.

4. Agree!

Also, the safety factors that go with vaping. No more "roach burns" on your sofa, etc.

I was drug tested not long ago and the THC did not show up!

I don't use a lot but I thought it would show up.

Could this be another side benefit to vaping?

As far a a little goes a long way, you got that right.

Total agreement!

5. For about a ten year period between '82-92 I smoked pretty much everyday, multiple times a day

Then they started drug testing us at work, so I had to quit. Retired a couple of months ago, so drug testing no longer a problem. Now I don't have the contacts to buy the crap! Waiting for states to legalize somewhere close to Va.

6. Take it from someone who's had two heart bypass surgeries...

It ain't worth it.

8. It was a line I heard from a comedian but I didn't want to interrupt anyone's fun in the thread.

I don't go nuts anymore and I have cannabutter when I need it.

12. wow, how sucky

Literally!

Did you smoke or vape? The claim is that vaping removes about 70% of anything that can harm you from it.

Another concern that I have is the chemicals that ARE USED on "organic crops". It is in fact a poison of Monsanto ---> Dow Chemical origin. It is called SPINOSAD. You can buy this poison on ebay.com for f's sake!

This poison is used not only on organic crops but also can be found in flea treatments being used on our dogs and cats! I had a cat that DIED from this crap of neurotoxic paralysis.

If growers are using the poison on the "organic" crops they are growing, it worries me greatly.

Glad you survived btw.

15. Smoke it, vape it, bake it

That is actually true about vaping according to https://cannasos.com/news/authors/smoke-it-vape-it-bake-it. But i;d rather baked it )

7. My friend has developed Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.

Two or there puffs a couple of times a day works for me. He is really suffering.

9. That looks terrible.

Scary stuff that we can research finally now that it's gaining legally recognition more and more

[safeinOhio]

11. The good news.

It goes away when he stops smoking.

14. A friend of mine had that!

I never knew there was a name for it.

Every time she'd smoke, she'd get dizzy and vomit!

10. Next month....

...will be 51 years since I smoked my first "joint", on a sand dune over-looking the coastal village of Cam Ranh in South Vietnam. I used to like sativa a lot, but lately have been drawn to stronger indica.

Luckily, I live in a state that has figured out a way to regulate it, at least to a degree. People that use it for medicine have been helped a lot with their passage of this law.

13. I'm jealous! I live in a backwards State

that just recently allowed researchers to grow weed for medical use.
