Corona Vaping

I must admit, I manage an electronics store, but we just ordered a couple hundred sanitizer bottles from a company that claims that they can have them here in a few days.

We're on a university campus, so we need any possible way to draw in revenue while the university is largely closed on the local campus because of the pandemic. What can I say? We gotta do what we gotta do to bring in any revenue we can to not shut down.

Splitting bulk is one thing. This guy gutted shelves at retail pricing intent on profiteering. He didn't get a break on bulk buying. Intent is written all over it. Providing a service is wholey different even within the eyes of the law. There is a 'reasonable' clause as far as I recall.

My favorite part of this article is this quote “But I’m not looking to be in a situation where I make the front page of the news for being that guy who hoarded 20,000 bottles of sanitizer that I’m selling for 20 times what they cost me.” What are you doing then by being the feature of this article?

I noted the irony in that statement too. After the article was written he said he would donate the rest of the stockpile, likely realizing just how bad he looked. Remember, he thought he was the good guy up until that point

I don't really give a shit about what he thought. What he was doing is demonstrably sucky, and not up for interpretation.

He knew what he was doing from the start.

We won't be selling the sanitizer we get for jacked up prices, but for our normal margin.
We're just glad we were able to get ahold of a shipment of a few hundred bottles.

I was simply pointing out that villains think they are the good guys most of the time

My country went on total lockdown. Only grocery stores and pharmacies,banks are working. No traveling in and out of the country . I guess shit is about to hit the fan here too .
It was realeased information that trying to fight the fever with ibuprofen and other immunosupresing substances is not a good idea.I've heard that CBD has similar properties,but i havent done research on the subject so i dont wanna cause excessive panic,but maybe you can look into it . If you have a really high fever paracetamol is recommended. Also salt spray for the nose and gargling with salth water,and frequent water intake are among the top recommendation. The virus incubates in your throat and then travels to the lungs. By drinking water frequently it gets flushed down and destroyed by stomach acids. Salt is antisepctic and also cleans/prevents mucus formation,it is shown in studies that people living near ocean/sea/salt lakes are less prone to respiratory problems . Of course you should take this with a grain of SALT ,lol,but it wont hurt to try it if you like the idea .

I have actually heard that as well about how the virus incubates. Keep an eye on your fevers if you got them. Also Gatorade is a good alternative to keep the electrolytes up in the body as well.

I'd been out of town for ten days and got home yesterday. Now I just returned from our SuperWalmart, which is the nearest supermarket for 45 miles. The extensive bread, pasta, tissue, soup, frozen foods, etc. aisles are almost completely bare. Never seen anything like this in my longish life. Neighbors just told me that school has been cancelled for the next three weeks. Just heard that my favorite restaurant, which friends and I gather at on Sunday eves, has cancelled their usually fabulous St. Paddy's Day spread and closed for at least a week. Everyone is acting as if we could go on lockdown tomorrow and there's little guidance from either Federal or State government. And we're in a rural county that as yet doesn't have one reported case.

The good news is that my travels were in a cannabis legal state where I bought concentrates and tinctures to try for the first time ever--I've always been exclusively a flower and occasional hash guy. Wanted to try new ways of getting high. So I bought some adult legal Rugburn OG shatter, Black Momba rosin, Super Lemon Haze wax, and my first ever ccell cartridge of oil. Also got both sativa and indica tinctures for under the tongue. This is all in addition to stuff I already had: Sour Diesel and Dakini Kush flower, some gummies, and some chocolates. I feel fully equipped for whatever is thrown at me, other than the virus itself.

My sense is that these unprecedented events call for the tranquilizing goodness of Indicas. But the weather has turned really nice and I don't want to just nap all day. What do folks think: Does all the chaos and scary stuff and closings call for sativa or indica, flower or dabs? Just curious what other dopers think about what we are collectively living through.

I have three sativas at hand, Amnesia Haze, Lemon Haze and Lemon Skunk. I'm hoping to get some soothing indica soon, but for now I'm okay with sativas because they keep me in a good mood while helping me to stay focused. :-)

"I just turned my vape off."

Reading some above comments: I'm a daily vaper. Have been for a long time--five years. Smoker, now ex, of cigs and weed for far longer. I've tried edibles: Its a different feeling and far less controllable. For two nights I tried the new stuff I got down South(Mass!): shatter, wax, oil, rosin. Great fun...and I have such great stuff. But my lungs feel compromised. Now I've got a cough too. I love vapin' but no one knows whats going to happen with this new disease, particularly at my age!

Maybe I can still take a hit every now and then. But this eve its only tincture under the tongue(not really that effective in doses for a seasoned user) and more swallowed. It's pleasant, quite pleasant. This tincture was sold as sativa, and I've also got an indica. I feel very lucky to have so many cannabis options. This is the most variety I've ever had by far. And really high quality tested stuff all. Now I'm self-secluded. Like everyone else. This is insane. I want to have some fun in it. As the world goes wild beyond anything any of us has seen or even imagined in America.

I been vaping CBD sativa. That is it. My anxiety is through the roof. I am a doomsday preper. I still have to be in court and shit. Not happy at all. Plus I have my ex wife still living at home. It’s a disaster. I stocked up and booze and have 15oz of my pot. I’m loaded.

Ex-wife living with you and court!?!?! The old saying "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger" comes to mind. You gotta be strong like a bull. The corona virus should be scared of you instead of the other way around.

You sure you got enough booze and pot?!?! 15 oz is a lot for most things but if it were my ex I'm not sure 15 oz would be enough unless I traded it to someone else to put her up.

Thanks for that. You did add humour to my day for sure. Overly stressed and you did lighten it up haha. I know I don’t have enough booze all. But I got the ex 4 bottles of wine so she’s easier to deal with as well. I have about 28 tall cans haha

Is that avatar from Black Hole? If so, how appropriate

@emmdeemo – Yeah, that's from Black Hole, one of my favorites – I switched to this avatar a few weeks ago, not even sure if c19 was already going 'round by then, but you're right: how appropriate... Didn't even see it until now. Thank god I took one of the lesser creepy images from it.

Oh btw I think your avatar needs a kleenex or something.

A horse is a good defence. You try going up against a horse.

Regarding the bros in Tennessee...If you havent seen/heard this yet take a listen:

The university of Vienna who allegedly has released a study that says so meanwhile stated that they never did. Ibu is safe to use and does not accelerate an infection.

A wise observation, may I ask how you came by it?

I figured I would post this.



It will explain some stuff if all are bored.

Thanks for providing these results.
First and second link seem against thc (but iirc they both state “IF Covid 19 is anything like flu” while the third seems not.
If I have cannabis regularly I never have flu but it’s pure speculation.

For the last few years, I've been not sharing anything mine or someone elses mouth has touched, or hands, and been washing my hands way more than I used to.

I stopped biting my finger nails, I stopped putting my fingers in my mouth. I started washing my hands every time I came in from outside. I started asking people to let me know if they're ill and ask them not to come round.

Basically, I got sick of having lung infections and being hospitalised just for having a cold.

I havent been ill in years now. This shit really does work.

Just an aside that might nudge someone into literally life saving habits (all this also came from me having thread worm as an adult, that stopped me biting my nails immediately ).

I've asked the person who posted the 3rd link on LinkedIn to edit their post. If you read the comments, you'll see Jahan clarify the 1st and 2nd link.
