Vaping in "adult life"

[Dampfmaschine]

very interesting. it is chief at stopping pain still isnt it?

Yup
The most reliable narcotic, but I'm no chemist.

It is very hard to over dose on pure sticky black opium if you smoke it.

Reminds me of an ancient silent film by Douglas Fairbanks jr. ? featuring the
detective, Coke Ennyday, in the film, The mystery of the leaping fish.
A box of Opium had opened in the harbor and the fish were going crazy.

The Chinese, on Opium, out worked the Irish, on booze, as both connected
the railroads across America.

I've never had opium. But for years I was a 5 day per week kratom user. Kratom isn't an opiate, but it works on similar opioid receptors. It's a delightful drug. Never grew much of a tolerance because I rotated strains.

All strains were amazing at pain relief. Some could give you more energy than coffee. Others could help you sleep.

There are people who seem to have dependency issues, so it's not all sunshine and rainbows. But it sort of was for me, lol. I only use it occasionally now, but only because it seems to mess up my digestive system.

It's also pretty damn hard to get any effect from smoking the stuff unless you smoke it in a particular way that I have yet to learn!
It is not clear to me whether opium needs to be prepared in a certain way to be smokeable and if the raw dried latex is smokeable or even edible or needs further processing..... but all poppy derivatives tend to give me awful constipation so I haven't really looked into it.

To get back to topic--- using cannabis is not considered "adult" by a lot of people around here so discretion is always needed. I rarely pull out the Dynavap in a social situation unless I know who's who there.... The stoner culture is infantile and has given weed a bad image- it is a massive scapegoat for other real social problems that affect young people and drive them to terminal boredom and "don't give a fuck" atittude. The problem is with the culture, not with the weed or with the kids.

I forgot about that show! It's been a while, but I don't think I remember a kratom episode. I should look it up.

My way of thinkin was if you could consume cannabis responsibly you could still meet your work , family and social responsibilities. In other words still being an adult. I've never

My previous job was rather easy so i would consume and then still do my job and since i worked at home I could be stoned a good part of the day if i wanted to. I could also extend my day and get stuff done after 5 if necessary. There were days i was finishing up stuff at 11 if i fucked off too much. So i acknowledge maybe it was not the best thing to be doing.

Our place had a massive RIF and i got caught up in that. So been home for a while but it looks like i got some interviews coming up. So I'm on a T Break now until i go for the drug test which is inevitable. You know the responsible thing to do.

For me especially with a nice sativa & a mild high i feel I would get some of my best creative ideas. This was true whether i was working on something for myself at home or putting together a presentation for work. I feel pretty strongly about that assertion looking back over the past 2 years. So still adulting.

I think cannabis is good for my body, especially since vaping. I try to get a little cannabis in my body each day, usually in the evenings. I think the chemical compounds are good for me, and I believe the effects on my mind are therapeudic. As with all of you, I remember to limit use to appropriate times.

There are many tasks that I like to do high and believe I am better at them (and enjoy them more) when I'm high. If I need to peel 50 potatoes, I'll get high and enjoy peeling those fucking potatoes.
