There was a dude on the Turnpike Saturday driving like 40mph stoned out of his mind, he was smoking a big fat one when driving as I passed him.
Lol stoners don’t know how slow they are driving or moving sometimes. Pretty comical on the roads ….but could be dangerous too.

Pink Floyd.
Or Procol Harum's In Held Twas In I.
Or Neil Young's Cortez The Killer.
Or Jefferson Airplane's Wooden Ships.
Or just about anything by Bob Marley...although i recommend the live album Babylon By Bus
My old girlfriend had this album that was just recordings of whales that was pretty awesome.
^^^ All much better while chilling in a hammock on the beach in Negril, Jamaica while watching the sun set into the sea. I've got a bunch of CDs that I burnt for just such occasions. My reggae ones and my Neil Young one and my Dinosaur Jr. one are legendary.
Unfortunately, It looks like it's gonna be quite a while before my wife feels comfortable getting on a plane. So...no Jamiaca, mon.....at least for the near future.
Bummer.

I've seen drivers like that many times on Rt. 80, the Turnpike, and highways in Monmouth and Ocean counties.
They are almost always very, very old people. None of them looked like they messed with ganja.

Tried it again this past weekend after about 40 years. Terrible experience. Had forgotten what it was like after that long. Can't understand how I ever thought that experience was enjoyable. Couldn't wait for it to wear off and get that crap out of my house for ever. I still think it should be legal but for me - Never again.

Are you smoking too much? I didn’t smoke from 20 til age 34. There were a few times where I need an hour to pass and then I was okay. I was smoking too much too fast. I felt my hear racing and paranoid. Once time passed I got to where I originally wanted to be…relaxed and calm.
Taking CBD helps in those times.
“Taking CBD can help reduce some of the more unpleasant side effects of taking marijuana, such as intoxication, sedation, and a racing heartbeat.

CBD and THC are both cannabinoids derived from the cannabis plant. THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects of weed, while CBD, on its own, has no intoxicating effects.

CBD can reduce the THC high by blocking cannabinoid receptors in the brain, and preventing THC from activating them.”

*The weed is nothing like it was when I was in high school. Less is more is my attitude

😂😂😂 Sounds like you smoked too much and got paranoid. Rookie.

Exactly. 1 hit for me every hour and I’m good to go…. When I choose to smoke of course. Not all day long

As @e5fdny and @RUInsanity can probably attest, I smoked a lot of pot during my college years and up until I was in my mid-20s. But I was one of those types that was almost catatonic after a hit or two, so I never went out anywhere stoned, just vegged on the couch late night. Hadn't smoked in about 30 years, when a friend passed me some edibles a few years back to help me with a terrible bout of insomnia. I have to say, the experience was vastly different. More like taking a Xanax or Ativan, probably because of the slower entry into my system. I can converse with my family, do stuff around the house, just in a more mellow state of mind. I'm more of a bourbon guy now when I want to wind down, but I have to say, I'll do a gummy once in a while to mix things up. I'm a fan.

On tMB there is a thread where a guy ended up quitting because he watched a movie (not knowing it was on mute) high and thought the pot made him deaf.

Ya know, I've smoked ganja with many, many people over the years and one thing I've learned is that there are just some people who shouldn't get high.

How do the edibles affect sexual performance? Asking for a friend.

BTW, I'm not sure I could actually share a joint with anyone else since Covid came along and changed everything.

Dry flower. It’s-a very smooth smoke, I sometime cough with a rolled joint (had covid recently) but no coughing with MIQPRO. It’s stronger than a vape, give me a better high.

I don’t know, I just think it’s better than a vape pen or joint,
How’s the taste? Better flavor than oil? Love me some lemon and fruity terps

I haven't been able to smoke for a few years (it's still illegal for people with CDLs), but when I did I had a Pulsar APX2 dry herb vape and found it hit or miss. Sometimes it just didn't get me high, sometimes I had to refill it and continue using it to get high, sometimes I had to recharge it in the middle of using it because the battery life wasn't very good. Glad to see there seems to be something better out there now.

Hi! I think everyone knows, as a rule, that if you know the measure, everything will be fine. If you use too much cannabis, it will not lead to anything good, and it is not only with cannabis but with everything) My brother's friend, for example, was cured with the help of cannabis (he had some bone problems). I know he went to the Brantford dispensary and received everything he needed. I didn't even imagine how many good effects cannabis can have on our bodies if we consume it correctly) I think it's better to try and see what it is.

..my wife got in a car accident (deer rammed the side door) and talking with autobody shop..I asked him the lot looks pretty full with cars you must be busy. He said the past year has been his busiest even prepandemic, and he noted every autobody shop is; unintended conseq1uence of legalizing weed. I then asked what percent do you think is attributed to it, he says the interior aroma test 20%

There’s not a truthful human on the planet who’s smoked weed that doesn’t know it impairs driving.
For young people who aren’t experienced, haven’t gotten high for decades, don’t have experience on managing their high, I’d say it severely impairs driving

I am calling BS as all these body shops are slammed even in states that didn’t legalize it. I got in a fender bender in Pa in September and my body shop until January. I had a friend in an accident in Texas and had a year wait. They are slammed more due to labor/parts shortage then weed.

That coupled with more body shop worthy accidents.
