i'm glad i haven't bought legal weed in florida. fucking rick scott, i'll never get over the dumb ass republicans voting him into the senate after all his fuckups as governor.

i have nothing to add except that I have recently begun drinking the CANN drinks and holy shit they are delicious and refreshing and the perfect amount (2mg TCH 4 CBD) to casually drink (as someone with a fairly high tolerance) with people who are drinking alcohol. glad to see the fucking drinks that you have to like measure out a teaspoon of to get the 'serving size' are rapidly going out of fashion.

more shit just needs to have reasonable serving sizes. it's pretty good here in the bay area but the last time i visited colorado it was bullshit. i don't want to have to break off squares of a fucking cookie to get 5mg, just serve it to me in an easily dosable package.

also the packaging for legal weed is so irritating. it's easier for kids to open a bottle of everclear than it is for me to open a goddamn bag of cookies.

I want to try those, I haven't been drinking and low-key want an alternative for the unforeseeable future.

Do it! They are really good. I take one can of them and mix with a bunch of lemonade, sparkling water, and a bit of lemon juice (I like the lemonade lavender flavor), which gives me like 3 or so 8oz drinks. I'll drink 3 to 4 cans worth during a typical hang out with friends and it's such a nice mellow high that last for like 3 hours.

my boyfriend is a big drinker (bougie booze) and so I've been thinking of trying to make boozeless cocktails with some tinctures since he has so many mixers, vinegars, etc.

as someone with a mood disorder who has a really rough time with any hangover, drinking THC has been so great for making me feel like i can engage with the social aspects that go along with drinking.

Looked it up. Their flavors sound so good but it's only in Cali. 🙁

Is he problematic? Because he's aging like a white dude

[maidenhell]

He looks a lot different without the beard. Classic example of facial hair as contouring.

[fernandocolunga]

ya but also the forehead lines?
but ia he's only hot with the beard like 95% of men

indian people are not diligent with sun care cuz most of us dont burn. i only started at like 25 lmao so much regret. i just didnt know we had to use it!

I have a daytime weed and a nighttime weed depending on when I choose to smoke. Smoking a strain currently called Candyland. I like it. It's good Sativa but doesn't give me headaches or paranoia. I smoke Zombie if I choose to smoke at night. Give me good sleep but ridiculous munchies whew.

i love patriot act and i did think this ep was informative but it sucks that they’re very usa-centric (this new season and a couple of episodes before) bc i’m mexican lol

hopefully the next episode won’t be as usa-centric

Yeah, I'm American, and even I found that episode underwhelming. Even ignoring what I've learned about Trudeau from Canadian ONTDers, there's stuff that bothers him just from my local news coverage. I wish he had gone in on Trudeau over the pipeline. That's a huge environmental issue in my state (Washington, just south of B.C.) The whole episode really felt like a long Daily Show news correspondent piece.

[sheisagentleman]

yeah valid. i was just complaining lol
