A burning joint is like incense to me. The smell is delicious and very heady, but it's not something to inhale.I had a freebie pre-roll sitting in the fridge for some time and decided to light it up for fun. Just to remind me what it's like to smoke a joint. I used to LOVE smoking joints, and that aroma that still takes me back to younger days. You can't walk down the street without the smell of cone joints wafting through the air these days.
I lit it up and tried to give it a few puffs. It was so goddamn foul to me. The idea that I used taste something pleasant in that is unimaginable. I understand that in the distance between your mouth and the cherry there are various temps that vaporize before combustion occurs, but it all gets masked by burnt tar shit. Even though it was an older joint and made with leftover shake, it has to be better than the brick weed we used to get in the 1980's.
Also, it's hard to explain but, while I love the smell of a burning joint from a distance, I don't notice that great smell when I'm smoking it. It smells less like a joint burning and more like hot cigarette combustion.
Anyway, I flushed it down the toilet, then spent some time washing my hands and brushing my teeth.
As related to humanity in general I'm not so sure that the iPhone's particularily useful. More of a device developed to ensnare humanity into slavery.Has Big Tech given us anything useful since the iPhone?

I'm not sure if I should call you youngster or not, have you forgotten maps? I still have my collection of southern California Thomas Guides including the tabbed, one trip specific L.A. one that I made so my newly licienced, directionally dislexic wife could navigate an off-freeway trip from Temple City to Inglewood.Personally, I don't even know how I would navigate a new city I've never been to before without a phone in my pocket. The problem is less with the iPhone and more with social media. That's what turned phones into drug-like dopamine machines.

being able to see the cloud patterns over the whole earth, in near real time!!, the satellite weather pics are the biggest boon to humanity since tesla harnessed electricity. NOAA FTW https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/fulldisk_band.php?sat=G18&band=GEOCOLOR&length=12No hate for Nikola Tesla, but he died during WWII. There's definitely been useful technologies developed since then. My question is, what innovations has our once vaunted technology sector given us since like 2007? Seems like nothing![]()

Asking people ? (Not Siri)Personally, I don't even know how I would navigate a new city I've never been to before without a phone in my pocket.
Awareness do that too... and without a battery.My phone gives me turn by turn directions. Or alerts me when I'm at the correct subway stop.
i'm sure they'll be charging for it pretty soon, we won't be allowed using anything w/out a subscription fee.That's very cool. But did that tech come from Silicon Valley or the goddamn gubernment??![]()
WTF? Shroom vapes, gummies, candy bars? legally?
Definitely be careful if they’re anything like the Diamond Shruumz candies that have been in the news lately (for those who may have not seen, here’s a link to the cdc page). At least with the ongoing investigation into Diamond Shruumz, they contain unspecified quantities of one or more synthetic or extracted compounds like muscimol (from amanita muscaria, aka fly agaric), psilocin and psilocetin (synthetic psilocybin).Visited my rigs on display at local smoke shop. They just placed a new magic mushroom product line under them. Tying to tell me something?

WTF? Shroom vapes, gummies, candy bars? legally? Or is this stuff a fake scam? I remember growing them way back, '81, in mason jars on brown rice after pressure cooker sterilization, from mail order live mycelium agar slant tube. Ate 'em up freshly picked, beer chaser for nasty taste. So, "progress" I suppose?
