3. Question of the Day: What are some things everyone should try at least once?

Escargot, living in a foreign country, polar bear swim.

[jpak]

5. Been there Done that

[hunter]

7. Combined with OriginalGeek's suggestion below, how about a naked polar bear swim?

I've done that.

I'd add on a very limited budget to living in a foreign country.

Wealthier travelers may get the Expensive Hotel version of a foreign country.

4. QOD: Nude Beach

It's about freedom and peace, not sex.

[Skittles]

6. I know it depends on finances but

everyone should try to get out of the country at least once!

[Kali]

8. LSD

what?

[GReedDiamond]

9. Yeah, or maybe shrooms...

...while I have had some very memorable and profound lsd experiences back in the day, I like the more organic feel of the psilocybin experience.

There are active, realistic efforts afoot to decriminalize/legalize psychedelic mushrooms.

Bathtub acid (or bathtub anything else - spice, bath salts etc) can be/are most likely to be disastrous.

The days of Sandoz and Owsley are long gone.

[Kali]

10. I would say if it were acid you would want to be on the younger side too

don't think I could handle it anymore. maybe mushrooms. nah I'm fooling myself, I can barely handle weed anymore.

[GReedDiamond]

11. At least with the shrooms, you can moderate the dosage...

...which is not possible with the typical alleged "LSD" dose.

Cannabis? I am so infused with it, I am almost "immune" to its effects.

Edibles have almost no effect on me...which makes me almost sad.

[Kali]

12. taper off for a while

I only partake occasionally. a while back I took 4 or 5 huge hits off a friend's vape pen, trying to show off like it was a bong in college. she had to put me to bed. I was catatonic.

[GReedDiamond]

13. That vape pen prolly had a THC concentrate in it that was 60 to 80% THC...

...more than double the currently available typical 32% THC or less for flower/bud you are most likely used to/expecting to feel the effects of.

With the currently available myriad of options for delivery of the THC into the body, one must be properly informed to make the correct choices.

Bla bla bla.

[Kali]

14. yeah it was a dipshit move

I can barely handle modern buds anyway.

I grew up on Mexican dirt weed and shitty homegrown. got some better stuff into my 20s but raised 3 kids and just kind of laid off. one of the kids ended up with cannabinoid hyperemisis syndrome but everybody else still smokes or ingests. I would if I could handle it, especially since its legal here now. I am going to have a few plants in the front yard just for the yahoos around here to gawk at.
