    My totally sober brain read “loser restrictions” and was kinda offended that they we’re coming for me

    I hate how they always seem to promote joints in any cannabis article. Maybe start promoting healthier options…

    Ideally I wouldnt put any cannabis in my lungs… But I’ve switched to concentrates to be a little healthier. Bowls, Js and blunts are for special occasions and I definitely feel it in my lungs after.

        Oh I’ve checked it out… Lol

        I’ve owned like 10 different dry herb vapes. Cost me a lot of money.

        My favorite all around vape is the solo 2.

        Pax for more public use.

        Dynavap has a special use for me. Reminds me of a j. I also have some induction heaters.

        Divine tribes v 4 and 5 right now are my daily drivers. Ones on a pico for portability and the v5 is connected to a bottomless banger.

        Flowerpot is great but I feel like I over consumer with it.

        Elevator is niche… I don’t like using a torch. I have it filled with sapphire beads and it’s wrapped with an email coil. It’s alright… Good for taste but the flowerpot is better for vapor.

        Had a digital volcano for a month but returned it. I was disappointed with it and it also had me consuming more than I should.

          Ever try a TinyMight? I’ve got one and love it - but I’m curious how it holds up to a collection like yours.

            I haven’t. I was curious about it when it came out.

            I’ve spent too much money on vapes though and over the years they haven’t changed too much.

            Although I am curious to see if arizer makes another argo with a better looking and smaller design.

          Hmm… I wonder why consumption went up? I noticed mine go up when I switched but that was probably more of a fascination with the new “toy” than anything else.

            I think because it vapes better when the bowl is filled up to a certain amount. Like the volcano was like a gram sized bowl. The flower pot is probably half a gram. If I didn’t finish a full bowl ide end up dumping the half vapes into my abv jar.

        Might+ baby. Great lil device if you can splurge a bit. The only way I’ll “smoke” anything these days is with it.

        Yeah I have a bunch of vapes. I listed them in another comment.

        Yeah the edibles are somewhat different. But with legalization it’s different from the old days. There nano emulsified, distillate edibles, rso edibles, tinctures, and straight rso in a capsule.

        Personally I make tincture and add drops to canned seltzer. I just put like 5mg in a can and drink them kinda like I would beer. Sometimes I add it to my cocktails.

        Edibles do seem to lose out on the variety of strain effects though imo.

        Back in the day we would just add as much weed to brownies that we could and get blasted. Now it’s kinda nice to just catch a light buzz and reup when needed. …before bed is different though I love a high dose before bed.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The US Department of Health and Human Services has called on the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to loosen federal rules on cannabis.

    Cannabis is currently classified as a schedule 1 drug under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning it has no medical use and a high chance of abuse.

    Last year, President Joe Biden asked his attorney general and health secretary to oversee a review on whether cannabis should be listed as a less serious drug.

    “As part of this process, HHS conducted a scientific and medical evaluation for consideration by DEA,” the agency said in a statement.

    Some advocates have pushed the administration to de-schedule the drug, meaning repeal it from the Controlled Substances Act and regulate it in the same way as alcohol or tobacco.

    Currently, most marijuana businesses in the US are forced to operate in cash, due to tax laws banning banks from handling money generated from certain drug sales.

    I’m in Canada, where the bless-ed weed has been legal, federally, for five years. Please do it, USians! We need research done on the myriad of benefits medicinal marijuana has to offer.

      And we need research for any detrimental effects as well. We need to know where the benefit ends and the harm starts.

      It is nice having a more personal freedom in what I choose to do in my spare time.

      Also now I don’t need to smoke I can just have gummies occasionally.
