  • Edibles are actually weaker. They last longer, yes, but the stomach can’t process THC as effectively as the lungs can.

    The reason why you got higher is because you don’t normally smoke/vape 200mg of THC concentrate in your sessions. That is a lot of THC; I can assure you that if you were to dab 1/5th or of a g in a single session, you’d get a lot higher than you would from eating the same amount. It just wouldn’t last as long, but would be a lot more intense than an edible of the same dosage.



  • Even more-so because although they last longer, I find that tolerance also kicks in faster.

    There’s also the lower bioavailability of edibles to factor in. I can get as stoned from as little as 150-200mg of vaped or dabbed concentrate (which is a lot, mind you, cause we’re talking about 80-98% pure THC, here; so much so that flower doesn’t get me high at all anymore, even if I smoke 3 fatass blunts in a row). With edibles it takes 500-600mg+ for me to feel anything. Edibles are limited to 100mg per package where I live, so I have to buy concentrate and make my own.

    So that being said, even though the high lasts longer, it’s also weaker and requires me to spend a lot more to switch to edibles. Tolerance also kicks so fast that if I use edibles two days in a row I won’t get high the second day, even with a massive 900mg+ dose. Given that 900mg of vaped THC will last me almost an entire week, I only consume edibles on special occasions.


  • As a daily cannabis user, I literally do not get hungry on my own anymore.

    But I’m still fat cause all I gotta do is take 8 or 9 rips off the dab rig, and next thing I know I’m raiding the fridge at 3am and cooking up a feast fit for a king.

    It’s especially annoying when the GF wants to go out to eat. Cause then I gotta sneak out of the restaurant to take a “bathroom break”, because she hates weed. Thankfully she’s nose blind enough now that she no longer smells the cart on my breath. But she notices when I dab every time, so I leave that shit at home in the balcony closet, which I’ve converted into a little smoking room so I can take care of my head at night after she goes to bed (Edit: Yes she’s aware of the smoking room. I only wait until she’s asleep out of consideration cause I hate getting judgemental looks when I walk back into the house stoned off my ass.)

    Needless to say, I really gotta take a T-Break. But it’s so difficult to do so when you rely on it to eat, sleep, and keep your blood pressure low.



  • I have vague memories of using Prodigy on Windows 3.1 but I don’t remember much beyond the login screen.

    My earliest clear memories were of AOL 3.0, during the era when the app didn’t even have a URL bar because they wanted you to used their walled garden “AOL keyword” system. So I’d login, minimize the program, and immediately open Netscape so I could get to the real internet. Didn’t do much online though, other than go to Nick.com to play games.

    Didn’t become a full-time internet user until 1998. Probably because that was the first year I went to a school with internet-connected computers in every classroom, where my parents couldn’t restrict my online time.



    • In my teens and early 20s I used to enjoy snowboarding. I was never any good at it, but at least I could make it down the mountain. Tried again in my 30s, and I could barely even stand on the board. Never made it off the practice hill.

    • Getting in and out of cars is painful now. Especially since I drive 90s and 2000s Japanese sports cars, which have a tendency to sit so low that it feels like your ass is dragging on the pavement when you drive them. I have no idea how I’m going to be able to continue driving them 20, 30, 40 years from now. I don’t want a giant modern car. Even sedans are SUV-sized these days.

    Because they don’t work. I used them for nearly 20 years before giving up. I’m a solid 8/10, yet no one ever messaged me, and no one ever replied to my messages in all those years. Not a single person.

    The only way to find love is by going out and meeting people. Met someone at work back in 2018 and now I’m happily married.
