Indeed. Luvin the prisoner analogy. One must enjoy the ray of light while it's there tho. I can only hope some rays of light show up in our neck of the woods.


So... I'm digging thru another grower's thread... and I run across the standard "Don't forget to vote" words.... and I go to vote.
My name is up there! WTF.... I mean... I'm honored and humbled of course, but really I've been mostly AWOL lately. I'm shocked!
Everyone should vote of course. I actually voted for someone other than myself just because I might feel it's just not quite proper to vote one's self.
So yea... go vote.
Is this a nominated affair? One wonders who might have tossed my hat in the ring... but some mysteries are better left mysterious.
Thanks Y'all.... I could sure use a goody pack!

Yes it is a nominated affair, by 420 members, I believe it is often multiple nominations. Nominations are discussed. I imagine a record of multiple deleted posts or vacations would be a disqualification for that month.

At least 1 person thought you were worhy and took the time to put your name in the hat

A little while back i had decided to cave and get some off the street ofcourse it was bragged up about how awesome it was and how it smelled like chocolate i still wasn't expecting it to be all that great and it was horrible i literally could not get high and that was on basically a zero tolerence. Sure it smelled like chocolate however im damn sure it wasn't even harvested anywhere close to being ready and it was fluffyer then all get out. To top it all off i burned through that gram in like six hours and that was taking it easy and not constantly smoking it. Then and there i decided that was the last time i ever buy off the street again its either my homegrown bud or no bud. I never really thought the bud i grew was top shelf but with what passes as great bud around here my stuff hqs to be top shelf cause i would have been better off picking random weeds (not slang i mean actual weeds) and smoking them probably would have atleast felt something lol. Enough of my ranting though lol

I've become quite the pot snob since I started growing. I've got six different strains on hand and won't even entertain the thought of commercial grass ever again. Not to mention the cost factor of being an ounce a week abuser makes it much more affordable to grow my own.

 

[SweetSue]

I have an extra box of SNS products you're more than welcome to, should you not win this contest. Seriously, I have two boxes and I use nothing in them in my grow. They need a new home, somewhere they'd actually be used.

I keep trying to cut back on consumption, but I stay awfully close to three to four ounces a month myself. I don't think of it as abuse. I think of it as "normal." I went through the desentiziation protocol, set my optimal dose at three hits, then blew that dose right out of the water with back-to-back days of double brownie doses. Lol!

We are a spoiled lot.

 

[Rifleman]

Desentiziation protocol ? I could probably use a little of that myself. After my wake and bake it's just smoking. No buzz, just habit. Doesn't matter if it's homegrown or Co.store bought, after the first buzz of the day it's just smoking.

I hear you. I make those ultra-potent BioBomb Brownies. They hit within five minutes and carry for at least five hours. That's my baseline. My wake 'n bake is a brownie that'll knock your socks off. One more in the evening and most days I don't reach for the water pipe until after midnight.

That protocol was rough to survive, having so much on hand that I was barely able to touch for six days, but it sounds like your endocannabinoid system's compromised and you're dealing with a lack of usable receptors, so you may want to consider giving yourself a once through.

 

[lexort420]

maybe you could explain something to me sue since your knowledgeable with edibles. Ok so one time i made what are called firecrackers and i made one for my wife a low dose one since she don't always partake and i made myself a high dose one for my self hers was like half a gram of bud and mine was more like 2 grams and my wife got pretty darn high so much so that she won't ever touch them again lol anyways i ate my 2 gram firecracker on a empty stomach and didn't feel diddly squat. Ofcourse i typically smoke bud not eat it so ya i had a little tolerence going on at the time but it was literally like i ate a regular cookie. So should i chalk it up to weird body chemistry or what? I know my body chemistry is a bit screwy anyways with other things that im pretty sure i can't mention on this site lol but to say the least i should have od'd on the thing i took but didn't feel anything then either. I know you can't help with that last bit its just a vauge example of my body chemistry. I would like to revisit edibles someday but am unsure if its worth it

 

[Rifleman]

Killer liver Lexort. Mine too. Got even better after I gave up alcohol five years ago. Pain meds do me no good as they get flushed as fast as I can take them.

 

[lexort420]

Ya it was a pain med i should of OD on in my youth but instead felt nothing at all

 

[Tead]

Novella following... fairly warned.
First and foremost, a friend with weed is a friend indeed! A buddy gifted me with a few bits and shared some time and banter with me as we enjoyed. I was feeling slightly like I had cheated, but I'm good with being a weak willed simpleton, so I'm way over it already. Sorry to bail on Lex... but I'll bet he's already forgiven me for my sins.
Top shelf stuff. My buddy does know where to get the good stuff... no doubt. Not mine... but we covered that "weak willed" stuff already. He said it was something vaguely 'chemically' named... one doesn't push the gift horse too hard after all... I rolled my eyes a bit and tossed out some possible ones but all those darts missed the board by a mile. It was an 'active high' kind of stuff. Fun.
We spent some good time talking. Mostly about MJ of course. I spent a lot of time expressing pessimism regarding any implementation of MMJ in LA. Nice to spend some time and conversation with someone other than the Missus or the Mutt. Despite my regular journeys and mindless banter with tourist, I really am a touch too disconnected from others.

Secondly, I must immediately register the love from SweetSue (you know I'm serious when I use your 'proper' name rather than SS!). My needs for such things are usually extremely rare and I'm actually well prepared for even the dreaded (gulp!) spider mite outbreak. One of the huge pluses to growing in pure perlite is the lack any environment for them to get their start in. I used to do normal neem treatments, but probably have not done even that in a year. Nuthin. Bugs are just completely out of control outside the shed. All my outside garden has leaf miners, thrips, various caterpillars, snails. You name it, it's hangin around somewhere. Not inside. It blows me away. Not even gnats.
So... ya.... find some nube that lives in a hot world and is trying to grow outdoors and make their day bettah... buggins suck!
So special to be on your mind. Thanks!

Wait... gummy bears are roaring... I must punish them.

Spent the day working. Did my run this morning on bicycle. Saw an LED street lamp in a garbage can on my way in. Wasn't there on the way home dammit. Did duplex showings all day. Snaked a drain. Laid some tile. Cleaned. Then I got stoned and it was all better.

Now... down to biz...

Yeah, they passed a law here in PA too and then promptly f'd it up with complications that'll take two years to get up and running. I mean, what were they doing for the two years this fought its way to the top of the pile? That's as crazy as doctors in states going legal and not taking any advance time to learn about cannabis. If you're a doctor and your state is leaning towards legalization you should be all over educational services before they vote. Or is that just me?

Don't get me started dammit! So long... we've been fighting this fight for so long and progress is starting to seem a bit empty.

Tead, it breaks my heart that you're without. Hang in there my friend. Better days are ahead. When's the next harvest? If my BIL gets kicked from the building I'll stay in my apartment and wait him out. That means I'll for sure go dry before my next harvest. You'd think we could get this formula to work better for us, wouldn't you? Talented cultivators incapable of keeping a steady supply. Where's the key to Graytail's vault when you need it? Lol!

These thoughts have all been near and dear to me as well. We do such small scale things... any little ripple in the sea has dramatic outcomes. In my case, 2 plant losses in a row a while back are the cause of the current woes. In my situation, I can, and did start recovery instantly by putting clones down. Shame you'll have to delay that a bit, thus causing a few more of your cars to be empty in the supply train. Nerd note... the phrase 'supply train' actually originates from the horse and wagon trains... not our modern railroad devices.

when a little ray of sunshine finds it's way down, angles through the bars in the window and hits the floor for a minute.

Oh look!!! It's a pretty, pretty light!

As James Taylor sang "You've got a friend."

I still love JT. Especially some of his newer stuff. I used to know a 6yr old named 'Cecelia'. Her mother shook her head every time I serenaded her young daughter. She was shaking her head mostly because... well... you know... we just shouldn't really be singing those sorts of lyrics to such young ladies after all. I sure hope the young lady was not scarred for life. Her parents fled the country many years ago over some significant financial shenanigans.

Not to mention the cost factor of being an ounce a week abuser makes it much more affordable to grow my own.

Amen! The Missus would have my ass if I were dropping that dime on a regular basis. And really, I'd kick my own ass too.

Indeed! Funny some of the dances we do. Hard to place artificial limits on something that gives us such joy.

I think of it as providing a 'background radiation' function that allows me to pass easier thru a world that can be very jarring. A mental buffer that makes my world more tolerable.


Enough banter... time for a bowl and some sleep... perhaps to dream, perhaps not.

Tead, it breaks my heart that you're without. Hang in there my friend. Better days are ahead. When's the next harvest?

I knew I missed something I wanted to hit. It was gnawing at me while I smoked.
Somewhere around a month... maybe... probably sooner. The need is strong in Tead, but at least my recent visit to the dry side has soothed my fears.

 

[Weaselcracker]

Great post my friend, you're in fine form tonight. And it is nice to go without for a while, if only because it's so nice to smoke again after.

 

[SweetSue]

It warmed my heart Tead. Been there and appreciated that helping hand soooo much. There, now I'll be smiling all night.

I live this incredibly blessed life. I ran out twice in the last year, and both times someone gifted me a substantial quantity that got me through. I'd loan you my guardian angel but he tells me it doesn't work like that. Yours seems to be working hard for you anyway. Did you dream?

I meant to tell you, cannabinoids are responsible for the healthy maintenance of the digestive system. Take yourself off a steady cannabinoid source and you'll run the risk of constipation. If what you typically smoke is sativa-dominant, going without will cause your appetite to be stimulated since the sativas tend to control appetite. The sleep increase was likely a lack of THC. It seems counterintuitive, but it's not really. The cannabinoids determine almost everything about you, how you think, feel, sense, move, it's all directed by the endocannabinoid system.

I'll breathe a nice sigh of relief when you harvest.

 

[Tead]

Did you dream?

I did dream.... dreamed the pup had fleas.
I find myself trying to attach some meaning to dreams now that they've returned. The key word being "trying".
Funny things... dreams.

Ya know... I've never shared an image of the mutt. Let's fix that.

She'd lick you up if you were within range.... bionic tongue behind that smile. Constantly telling her to quit licking me or the Missus.
I generally prefer my dogs big, dumb, and lazy. While she's none of those, she's a much better fit for an urban environment and brings boatloads of other wonderful qualities to the equation.
We live in 1/2 a double shotgun... you might think of it as a duplex.... and rent out the other side. She has 2 new friends lined up for occupancy on the first of July... she'll be in hog heaven.

Gotta run... busy busy.

Man... it took a bit to write that one... but ya... a little herbal input drove the creativity up. So nice!

 

[SweetSue]

Have a great day Tead. Thanks for the intro to the puppy.
