Did you smoke more pot/take more gummies after it became legal in your state? (2 Viewers)

[Otis]

NYer here. Smoke shops popping up everywhere. Very weird for me as a NYer to walk into this huge storefront with an enormous selection of THC products. Walk out totally paranoid I’m gonna get arrested. But it sure is a nice send off before bed.

Am I the only one smoking more of this stuff after it became legal?

Well the numbers aren't going to go the other way, are they?

 

[Dan Lambskin]

I did

Smoked a ton in my teens early 20s. Went quite awhile without doing it at all, then started doing it occasionally if someone had it in my 30s

Shortly after it became legal started buying my own edibles and I’ll say it do it regularly (not daily but several times a week)

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

I smoke the same amount


It’s now legal in Maryland. It’s nice to be able to just walk into store when I’m out but is also a little overwhelming with the volume of choices.

So far my plug gets me FAR better quality than the store bought stuff. He also delivers to my house.


We’re going to start growing our own.

 

[-OZ-]

Not legal here.
Highly unlikely to be any time soon, we don’t have a lottery.

Yea for me it was just the legality in other states not necessarily my own state. Smoked a ton as a teenager until my late 20’s then just occasionally in my 30’s and 40’s and now in my late 40’s with gummies and beverages and vape pens. Well, i ingest more THC than i ever did. Somewhat due to the lousy brick weed i smoked when i was young which probably had 1/100 of the concentration as todays stuff.

I think that's one of the challenges, honestly. Some of the stuff available over the counter nowadays is really potent. Sure you can buy low THC edibles, but the diversity can be overwhelming. I never had a high tolerance anyway though.

 

[Terminalxylem]

Never tried it, but many of my friends do edibles, especially the climbers. Helps manage the fear. Doesn’t interest me much, though I suppose I’d try it, if legal.

Much more enthused for psychedelics, in which I’m planning to indulge after my body breaks down.

Yea, the smokable stuff is ridiculously potent. I bought a blunt in Vegas in December that I brought home and I finished a couple weeks ago after lighting it up solo, and with friends like 20 times.

As far as edibles., just break off an amount you are comfortable with. Edibles seem to hit me really good and easy, so it is a regular occurrence where the wife and I split a 1 person 10 mg serving and I take 6 and she takes 4 and we are golden.

Same

 

[TheAristocrat]

I did for a time after Colorado legalized. Cheap, legal, relaxing. It was basically pseudo-legal here anyhow as I had been "caught" by cops that just told me to go home and not smoke downtown. They never confiscated nor put me in cuffs.

A few years ago, slowly stopped for no particular reason with music festivals and concerts being the exceptions.

Probably getting into edibles again soon-ish but it's not a high priority, pardon the pun. I'm happy that the option to do or don't is available and have no comprehension of how you could be against a personal choice no different than drinking.

 

[PIK95]

Am I the only one smoking more of this stuff after it became legal?

Well the numbers aren't going to go the other way, are they?

It did for me. I haven't done ANYTHING since we legalized it.

 

[Ilov80s]

When it became legal, I did vape more than before because of the ease to get it. Though I’ve stopped now. Still, my usage was nowhere near what it was in my 20s. I was stoned everyday and usually trying to find the absolute limits of how high one could be.

My wife and I took shrooms recently. Her for the first time ever and me for the first time in 15 years.

We are will do it again in another ~6 months.

Typing about the experience is something that is difficult, because i would not describe it as either fun, nor unfun. In entertainment it is average, however the introspective nature that it allows and the communication experiences are different. Not comparable to either drinking or THC.

 

[MTskibum]

Edibles are legal almost everywhere, even in Texas you can buy edibles, however the problem is that many people still work for large corporations that drug test.

Which means the answer to the OP's question is "no".

Maybe once my company changes it's policies then I will take edibles, but I am not holding my breath on that occurring.

Yeah, I have a friend who did mushrooms in a supervised, quasi-legal setting. She raves about it, saying they helped with anxiety, PTSD, spirituality, creativity, and a general sense of well-being.

She quit her job as a PA dermatologist shortly afterwords, and is trying to start her own (non-medical, artsy) business.

Her husband tried them as well. They just made him paranoid.

Given my non-euphoric response to alcohol, lack of anxiety or impetus to “ relax”, not sure how I’d enjoy the experience.

I don’t think they’re legal for recreational use almost everywhere. Just the W Coast, NE and a few mountain states

THC edibles are legal in Texas? I don’t think that’s the case. Are you referring to CBD?

I think they are legal for “medicinal”, but not recreational use. The former is in hate quotes because a big chunk of the medical indications are fabricated, to game the system.

FTR, I don’t care what mind-altering substances people use. I wish the federal government would legalize pot and many (most?) other drugs.

 

[skol asylum]

Only experience ever was one pass and puff from a friend who was standing outside the dorms back in college when I came home from the bar one night. That's it. No other drug experience. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

This edibles route seems like a great solution for those of us who are looking to quit or scale way back on the nightly drinking. Have to imagine it’s a whole lot better for you, and can help you lose weight — instead of having 2-3 glasses of wine, have a tiny piece of edible to take the edge off, and just drink tons of water ….

The Compassionate Use Act in TX allows for the use of low-THC products for very few conditions in a highly regulated setting. To my knowledge there is very little abuse going on in this state unlike other states where people can get cards for somewhat ambiguous conditions.

Interestingly, Texas punishes edible possession under its penal code more harshly than marijuana possession.

You think that transitioning an alcohol addiction problem into a marijuana addiction would put somebody onto a healthier path? If somebody is drinking so much nightly that they need to find an avenue to “scale way back”, they need to perhaps go to an addiction counselor or perhaps try to engage in truly healthy activities like meditation. Swapping out one bad addiction for one that is perhaps marginally “less bad” doesn’t seem like a great solution imo.

“Marginally” is a sizable understatement.

The speed with which shroom acceptance is happening blows me away.

You can buy THC delta 9 or delta 8 gummies in Texas. They are legal here.

They are "hemp' derived from plants that contain less than 0.3% THC. That is how they get around the law.

My wife does not drink. It was the first time in her life she has ever been inebriated.

I did get paranoid for an hour, but the 2 hours after that were good.

You would want to research it first.

[Tecumseh]

Georgia allows low dose liquid THC only from an approved dispensary. However, there are exactly 0 approved dispensaries. Neat trick.

If it ever became legal in TN, NC or Ga (I am within 10mins of all 3), I’d likely try edibles, but the last time I smoked, I legitimately thought I was going to die. Only had 2 hits and had severe tunnel vision, felt horrible, and barely made it up the stairs to lie down. Came downstairs later to watch the new Top Gun, and afterwards had no recollection of it whatsoever. I’m done smoking.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

NYer here. Smoke shops popping up everywhere. Very weird for me as a NYer to walk into this huge storefront with an enormous selection of THC products. Walk out totally paranoid I’m gonna get arrested. But it sure is a nice send off before bed.

Am I the only one smoking more of this stuff after it became legal?

I have yet to run into a smoke shop in the city. Where are you shopping GB?

 

[Don Quixote]

Never had any, but open to trying some day. My state decriminalized possession, but not sale; so, not as many options to buy. My wife works for federal government and subject to security screenings every so often; since still illegal under federal law, not sure she’d allow anyway.

 

[Raging weasel]

Never did gummies before they were legal and do them a few times a week now.
I smoke a lot less mostly because it's so strong I can't finish a whole joint by myself anymore.

You think that everyone that smokes weed has an addiction? Or just that everyone who gives up alcohol for cannabis is now 'addicted'?

You aware of any physical manifestation of cannabis addiction? Don't bother answering, there aren't any.

You aware that cannabis was made illegal with zero studies and was basically just done during the Depression to encourage migrant workers to go back to Mexico so Americans could have those jobs?

You know that Big Tobacco and Big Alcohol have both lobbied to keep cannabis illegal? Do you suppose that's because they are looking out for American's health?


Hey, maybe if meditation actually works on a large scale it'll be successful enough so that people will try and outlaw it.

That's the part I don't get. It seems it would be impossible for them to not realize the tax revenue being missed there.

It's gone through some legislation, not sure on the details but it looks like it might stay. I have been reluctant to try Delta 8, is it really similar to regular cannabis health wise?
