Don’t forget the health benefits. Fucker is getting old…
You’re missing key capitalizations. ArTITecht, so it hurts the eyes.

He did his internship with me 20 years ago, I’ll sign off on it.

Fair enough, he's got his full benefits package in play!

This is an odd feeling in 2023, actually having the 20 years experience required for an entry-level position.
But damn straight. And it all started with a middle-finger in a site banner.
As is your birthright.

I kind of hate them, but smoking was giving me a cough. It's so annoying how bad for you smoking is. Edibles are so unpredictable.
I still can't believe I fell for that whole "drugs are bad" thing.
I took a three week break because edibles quit doing anything for me, and then had 5mg to take the edge off a stressful day. I ended up not being able to do anything the whole rest of the day, it was wild.

Have you considered vaporizing flower? MUCH better, without the popcorn lung from those sketchy carts that were probably everywhere in downtown Portland or Eugene. A while back, @Tommy Boy posted a PuffCo (or similar) piece in the weed thread that I’ve been eyeing up… herb vaporizers have come a looong way from the table top models.
It’s almost like you were young, impressionable, and easy to manipulate… hey, wait, isn’t that what they said people who offered us drugs would use against us?
I’d almost bet that you ate one on an empty or nearly empty stomach for that little to take you on a ride after just a few weeks.

I haven't, mostly because I don't really know what that is or how to use it.
Probably. I haven't really noticed that it makes the effect stronger, though. I read that having something fatty in your stomach will intensify it and having an empty or too acidic stomach can make it not do anything. Do you disagree? I can't figure out any rhyme or reason for when they kick in or how strong the effect is, so if you have any thoughts on that, I'd love to hear it.

Well, you could try disposable vapes for starters. The dispensary distillates are nice, and a cheap disposable will run you about $20-$50 depending on the amount of distillate in it. I’d recommend 300mg if they’re available, they’re the cheapest and least likely to piss you off if you spend the money and end up not liking it.
These are two brands that I’ve gotten here, the brand will likely vary by region… but the style is what you’re going for. It’s called “CCell”, and it’s a type of delivery system that’s essentially becoming the USB of concentrate delivery. You can read up on the technology some more here if you’re curious, but it’s the cleanest and purest delivery system I’ve seen for vaporizers.
As far as using one goes… as you can tell by the THC%, it’s concentrated and significantly stronger than flower. I’d suggest taking a pull or two off of it, waiting 10-15 to see how you feel, and then trying some more if you’re not where you want to be. Do NOT make the same mistake so many of us made our first time hitting a dab pen and wait for the tickle in your throat to let you know you’ve inhaled enough. By then, it’ll be too late and you’ll go into a coughing fit while rapidly ascending to the point of “violently high in Target’s bath towel aisle” before you know it. Each battery and distillate combo heats differently, so slowly pull to see what you get. Don’t treat it like a cigarette or a joint.
Beyond that… if vaporizing flower is what’s catching your interest… this is what I’m checking out:
I’ve eaten a metric fuckton of edibles, and I can say two things with the utmost confidence:
1. No edible hits two people the same.
2. Metabolism, stomach content, weight, and everything else that would affect you at a bar drinking alcohol could affect you with edibles.
I have noticed that “heavy” edibles (legit food, brownies, cookies) tend to take longer to hit for me, and the effects tend to last longer while the ascent and plateau is smoother. Gummies and chocolate, stuff that is quickly dissolvable, tend to hit me much quicker, harder, and last for quite a bit less time. However, I’m also a 6ft 1in and 185lb dude with the metabolism of a crackhead on day 6 of eating peanut butter and crack sandwiches… so I take that into heavy consideration when dealing with edibles.

It is noted! Personally I go for ketchup on chips.

Have you heard of a trans musician / comedian called Jordan Gray? Yorkie gave her great material for her stand-up show. You should have a look. With similar circumstances and experiences, you might appreciate.
And what are “dinky” deckers? Are they like small double deckers?

I haven't, but I will definitely look her up now! Thanks, Bandi
Yep, mini double deckers

Ok, I found her, she's absolutely amazing, lol. You could tell in the Edinburgh Fringe stand up that the crowd did NOT know how to react, but at least a lot of her other performance clips get a good reaction. Definitely need to watch more of her
(for anyone else that stumbles across this and wants to know: )
