Stoners

[Lemonnhoney]

Is there anyone else on here that likes to smoke weed?

On all the threads I've seen that have mention cannabis it usually made out like the worse thing ever.

I'm a bit of a stoner tbh and just wondered if there is any others out there? I always see threads with people sharing what they drinking so thought I'd give it a go!

Not sure how this will go on here soo 🤞

borish not boyish

I imagine most of us who dont vape don't smoke in the house @PatricksRum.

I gave up a while ago but for the last few days I have REALLY wanted to have a smoke. Don’t have any and no way of getting any. Bloke I bought off has probably changed his number after all this time and I know It’s just a craving but it won’t go away. It’s boredom. I know this. The vape isnt helping and am tempted to go and buy a packet of straights but I also know that a) what’s the point and b) what’s the point 😂

@n00bMaster69 That doesn't eliminate secondhand smoke exposure.

There's also thirdhand smoke.
Is that a concern?

What, smoking in the garden?

I care not one bit about it wafting through outside open air, it doesn't harm anyone that way.

Checking in... Will add something constructive later lol

My husband used to live in a US state where it's now legal. I sometime have fantasies about moving there (it also has fantastic weather). I used to love smoking weed (it was before skunk came on the scene, though).

On MN? Smoking anything, or having a BBQ, is a cardinal sin. You are personally murdering everyone within a 5 mile radius by it.

Is that a concern?

Nope, I simply wear a long cardigan and remove when I enter the house.

Death by stoning .

Nope, its not a concern to me.
Just in the same manner that parents driving 4x4s down the road to the school gates and pumping out exhaust fumes into the environment doesnt appear to be a concern to them either!

OMG I'm over the moon to find this thread! I'm a massive stoner but I didn't start until I was nearly 40 - I had dc young so didn't have an experimental carefree phase. I rarely drink alcohol and hate being drunk and the hangover. I'm disabled and tried it initially for medicinal benefits but stayed with it for the mental stimulus I get from it. I love to rip a bong and watch something funny, or a good film, or a nature program (blows your mind), or sit in the garden, or listen to music, or have sex...weed improves my enjoyment of everything umpteen times over.

I'm really enjoying lockdown as people can't come round and dc are adults so I can blaze as much as I like. I don't smoke tobacco but love an ice bong or a vape - I bought a fab budget vaporiser from amazon for £25. I'm smoking every night atm but I like to take regular breaks from it for 3 months at a time. I absolutely can't smoke it if bad stuff is going on as it just amplifies the feelings- for eg I couldn't touch it for ages when my dcat died. But strangely the situation with lockdown etc doesn't trigger any anxiety for me.

I have a good supply as I know a grower. The only drawback for me is having to smoke alone - dh doesn't really smoke it, or if he does he quickly falls asleep most of the time. I don't have any weed buddies to smoke with and talk crap to, debate the universe etc - but maybe we can do that on this thread!

See also multiple holidays abroad contributing to the filth we have to breathe. I haven’t flown in years. Isn’t is lovely, the air, since the planes stopped?

Yep! its astonishing how much of a difference it has made.

Has anyone tried buying online?

No, I’d be really wary of buying online. We stocked up really early in our household thanks to my BIL who’s a dr doing his research senior reg stint in Northern Italy (he’s home and fine!). He scars the crap out of us inearly March re:COVID and my HD’s first thought was to buy weed!

@n00bMaster69 - could have been charras? A rare and wonderful treat. Haven't seen any for about 15 years now, but it's made by touching the plant and rubbing the good stuff off your hands.

I've looked at a lot of online sites this weekend!

Some are obviously dodgy, others will only let you pay by bitcoin or similar.

The ones that appear legit and take CCs have minimum order of about 200 quid.

I'd just like some vape fluid with thc but can't find any.

Very much hoping our usual herb supplier is stockpiling during lockdown!

could have been charras? A rare and wonderful treat

About twenty years back I was on a trekking holiday in Nepal. One of the locals in a remote village asked us if we wanted anything to smoke. We said can you get us $10 worth. He looked at us wide eyed as if he thought we were kidding.

Half an hour later he turns up with a fucking carrier bag full to the brim of awesome weed, plus a lump of charras the size of a snooker ball

Couldn’t get the hang of rolling blunts though

@Branleuse - we used to have a Volcano but then we lent it to an idiot who left it next to a candle and melted it and it was quite the set up. We now have a Mighty made by the same people, and I find it just as good, but a lot more discrete.
For those who don't want to invest quite so much, the Dynovap type ones get good reviews. No electronics, you just hold a lighter to the outside to heat it. Like a little pipe, but no combustion. And way cheaper!
Glad to see lots more folks checking in!

Oh my god @Lonelycrab! The motherlode! I remember doing similar in India, not quite charras but an unfortunate amount of weed nonetheless.
For those that like discovering different strains and properties, Leafly has a wonderful database... spent many an hour browsing and dreaming of having all that choice.

Personally, I've never done it and have no interest in it and I don't particularly mind anyone using recreationally as long as it doesn't affect me.

However, my 28-year-old son used to be a recreational smoker in high school and then ramped it up massively and has been a dealer so he could afford the massive amounts he smokes and earn money. He refused to go out and get a job to support his three young children (7 & 3-year-old twins) so he would put himself in harms way to sell pot for a bigger dealer. Of course, he also has a mental health issue and this massive pot use has affected his behavior and frankly he's been a terrible son and most definitely a horrible father.

I live in the US and in a state where marijuana is not legal. Last July, the children's mother upgraded from marijuana to heroin and had a mental episode and her mother got the police and child protective services involved and was put into jail. My son didn't live with her but he avoided collecting his children from such a horrible environment because he knew he had ANOTHER warrant for his arrest for drugs offenses. He arrived and was promptly carted off to jail. The children were put into my care.

All my son has to do to get his children returned is to get a proper job, to have a clean roof over his head and for his children, meet with his probation officer and attend classes but most importantly, be clean.

He's got a really good girlfriend who is a recreational user but hasn't touched the stuff because she wants the children to return, my son got a job, they have an apartment but guess what part he hasn't stopped. He refuses to stop smoking pot. He spends all his free time looking up ways how he can fool the random drug testing because he simply cannot fathom why he can't even have a little bit and has actually joined groups to fight the state and have the law overturned.

This Wednesday, we have a court case with child protective services and his parole officer in front of a judge. When the children were placed in my care, I was informed that it was for a minimum of three months to no more than six. I have had them for nine months. CPS and his parole officer have given him more time because they really don't want his children suffering but he has come to the end of his time (nearly three months ago) to stop his pot smoking and fulfill his other requirements. He has to provide another urine and hair follicle sample which he will show he has not stopped smoking pot. It will all be presented to a judge but really, it's essentially a judge stripping my son of his parental rights (the mother is still in jail) and the children will be placed into foster care and will be adopted.

I am losing my grandchildren because my son loves pot and everything about it that this nightmare of the past 10 years ends like this.

So yes, I think it's a pretty shitty drug.

@elp30 - that is a shit situation and I'm so sorry you've been through that. It isn't for everyone, and there will be people who can't keep it in moderation, as is the case with any drug, alcohol or gambling for that matter. I used to work in substance misuse, and my degree had a heavy element of psychobiology of addiction, and I've seen similar many times.
That's not to say that many people can't use it in moderation and in a way that enhances their life and health, in the same way that someone might enjoy a G&T at the end of the day.
I hope your son can sort himself out .

I'm not sure anything you buy on the web is going to be what it says it is, sadly @eggcream. You need to get on the dark web and that's a bit of a scary place!
