Pot smokers (4 Viewers)

About 5 years ago or so, I'd get a bag like twice a year, usually in the summer and again around the holidays. It would last a few weeks, only smoke on weekends, and that would be cool. A couple of years ago I started always having some on hand, again only smoking a little on weekends. I tend to juggle a lot of jobs/projects/hobbies, etc. but I found myself losing focus to keep up. I was thinking it was just getting older but I stopped smoking about a month ago and have gotten a lot of focus back and have been really productive lately.

Needless to say I'm disappointed in the results. :D

Is there really that much of a carryover from smoking maybe 2 joints, split with my wife, over a weekend as to affect the rest of my week? I'm cool with being a veg, just watching movies or hanging in the yard on the weekends but not at the sacrifice of my productivity for the rest of the week. Tell me it's all in my mind! The weather is finally getting nice and I want some weed!

I generally smoke twice a week, and find that's my threshold - any more than that and I start to lose overall focus/productivity. Although a joint (which is what you are averaging) with today's weed is pretty heavy. I would say my two sessions = a third of a joint total.  

Although they are different highs - weed is far more functional - I do tend to view it similar to booze in terms of how it fits into my life. One high = one decent alcohol buzz. At my age (49), I couldn't do a decent beer buzz more than twice a week without it affecting me overall - weed is no different (for the record, I don't do booze buzzes much at all anymore.)

I met a guy who works at a convenience store that gave me his number and mentioned he could help supply me with the green. 
I'd really like to give it a whirl in place of alcohol, but I've never so much as gotten a parking ticket in my life. I'm a huge wuss. A parking lot perfectly fine as long as you're sure there are no police around?  Not sure I'm comfortable going in the guys apartment - not in a great part of town and he deals all drugs, not just weed. Not that it makes him any worse of a person, but I feel like you're going to get less heat if you're a small time pot dealer. 

I don't want the guy coming in my house either or really knowing where I live. 

I have no balls, do I just need to take a Xanax and go for it?  I texted him that I'd like to talk but haven't followed up because I'm a big baby.  What's the worst that happens these days getting caught with a small personal amount of weed?  Career ender - permanent record?

TIA

I'm in a similar situation except that I don't even have a contact at all.  I'm like you though, very paranoid about getting caught.  I also dont want anyone that I would potentially buy from knowing where I live.  I have always preferred to keep my smoking to myself.  I would much rather get stoned by myself than with other people.  I guess Im just weird that way but I enjoy it more when I am by myself.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It's usually 2 joints over the weekend between the two of us but I definitely partake in more of it. She's fine with a good buzz. I tend to get pretty lit on a Friday, mellow on a Saturday and if I smoke at all it's just whatever roaches I have left for a small buzz on Sunday. Add in a lot of beer and wine on the weekends and it's probably no surprise it takes me a week to recover. Plus, I'm a couple of years older than you too. As Frankandbeans said, try and find a balance. I'm willing to give it a try! :D

You know what would be perfect? The guy who cuts my lawn just dropping some off once a month.  He's younger and probably more liberal but also a fire fighter and quite religious.  I should make some joke about "grass" and see what happens

Also sounds like the opening plot line of a gay porn movie.

Every time I smoke I just get disappointed that it's not Vicodin. It's amazing that #### is legal but weed isn't. I don't yearn for weed. I can go a long time without it and not care. Meanwhile, I haven't taken a Vicodin in two years and there's not a week that goes by that I don't think about it. I have weed candy upstairs and I'll take it whenever but if I had a Vicodin upstairs you better believe I'd be taking one right now.

Where I grew up in Mass, and I am sure in suburbs everywhere there is a massive heroin problem, that pretty much comes straight from people that got ahold of some pills, and then moved on to heroin.

I've likely averaged getting high 4-5 times a week for a little less than a decade. Luckily, it doesn't take much to get me ripped, I've always been super sensitive to weed. I've also taken breaks with varying degrees of "success".

The first time I took an extended break (about 6 months long) I gained some real clarity. The last time I took a ~6 month break I didn't notice even a slight difference.  :shrug:

The thing with weed for me is that I think the introspection it forces upon the user is super important. There are things I've done while sober that weed forced me to analyze, go "What the #### was I thinking?" and correct. I know everyone reacts to weed differently, but I actually think it can go a long way in correcting certain behaviors.

Yup, fully agree. And the opposite as well. I'm a pretty reserved, by the book kinda guy and it helps me push creative boundaries that I normally wouldn't. Not that I even act on them while high but it points me in certain directions for when I'm sober. And no, they're not all winners! lol

The best thing to do is actually go to the guys place. You have to remember he is just as uneasy about you as you are him. Your goal should be to ease his paranoia by chilling at his place for 30 minutes or so when you make a pick up and smoke down with him. It doesn't matter if you're picking up a bag or going hardcore and getting a ball. A guy that sells to you wants to see you blaze or do a big gagger.

My understanding is there is only one local credit union willing to take in funds currently.  Is this not the case?

Also, feel free to tell these guys about the wondrous opportunity that awaits them in hedge funds, specifically those that are sourcing physical assets key to the future for a greener tomorrow.

#### - I gotta do cocaine just to buy a dime bag?  I'm out.

 
Ah, remembering the old days of heading into Bushwick, Brooklyn, putting the money through a hole in the wall at some nondescript address and out popped a bag of weed. Word spread fast when a new place opened with good weed.

 
I'm going to show up with some nutmeg in a baggy and stuff the entire thing up my ### just to show him I'm down. I heard that stuff can really #### you up.  Then I know I'll be in the circle of trust.

This has not been my experience at all.  I'm in and out in like 5 minutes or less.  Usually it's on my way home from work, I'm not gonna sit there and get stoned and then go home to help my kids with homework.

If you have known the guy for a good amount of time, yeah. Any time I've went to a place for the first time to buy drugs they always wanted to see me partake to make sure I was "cool."

That might be the case in Portland, it varies from state to state right now.

Hmmm, that would sort of weird me out.  I didn't know my guy when I first met with him, but I had been referred by someone in the FFA so he must have known I was supercool. :nerd:

Referrals are always good. Few years back a guy brought me to his guys place and the dude kinda went nuts when he saw me come in. Threw a plate in my face and said "grab yo-self a corner mother-####a!" I was scared, by certainly did grab myself a corner and that guy and I are actually friends now.

 
I used to go to a place that was originally a referral. The guy was cool but had this massive pit bull. The dog would bark like a maniac when I got there and the dude was always saying not to worry. Bought a few times and never had a problem but having to walk in with that dog and sit there with him staring at me was too much, especially if we smoked a little while there.

These are some great stories.

 
You guys should join you local disc golf league. Very comfortable shopping experience and a great way to get a little fresh air and exercise along the way.  :thumbup:

 
The legal risks involved vary a lot by state.

Some states, it less of a crime than jaywalking.  

But a state like Oklahoma will lock you up for a seed.

 
Pennsylvania just passed MMJ.  That's 24 states and the DoC where weed is now medicinally legal (4 recreationally) or decriminalized.

There are 14 other states with legislation in the pipeline as well.

Progress. :thumbup:

In MA, recreational weed will be a ballot question in November.  :thumbup:  

 
God that chocolate candy I just ate was nauseating. Imagine crumbly chocolate with a weed nugget in the middle. This high better be worth it.
