Hey much appreciated for that but thats us we do our best for everyone and do it with love like good old days
one love bro

As someone who has smoked cannabis of some form pretty much everyday for 75% of my life. Im going to go with never again too. If I'm honest at 50 my lungs feel shite, clogged up and on the way out. If I never manage to stop I will almost certainly die younger than expected from a lung condition.
Facing the dark truth of our dirty habit is a hard thing to do. I just wish it wasn't so unhealthy.
If you'd have said never tried it or smoked the best quality gear everyday? I'd choose not to even try it. I love it so much that Ive never heen able to stay away from it, but smoking it is slowly killing us.

I’m glad someone said this man, it had to be said !
I would honestly choose the same.
If I could I’d only do it once a week or so for the rest of my life, but it’s never that easy 😂 it becomes a daily thing and then multiple times a day thing and we all know the effects of that 😭

Have you considered switching to Dry Herb Vaping?
Combustion Is The Devil....

Oh believe me I've tried that a few times. I have a mighty that is a pleasure to use but I plough through so much. Im weak willed when it comes to desiring a spliff. Vaping just makes me want a joint also.
You're so right tho

perfectly put!

I was smoking every day but really hating myself for it, then I read the Allen Carr book on how to give up smoking tobacco (I’ve never smoked tobacco at all but figured it’s the same thing) and that was it, I just stopped despite trying unsuccessfully loads of times before. Why am I here? Well occasionally I check in when bored to see what’s going on but never buy anything.
If you want to stop, try his book…

Thanks for the recommendation 👍

never again
because edibles

I’ve been using my own infused coconut oil for past 2 years.
It’s the best

Ive smoked nearly every day for over 25 years and I wouldnt have made it this far without it. It is the only thing that's ever made my life easier, better. So I'll smoke every day for the rest of my life Willie Nelson style

IMO it all comes down to quantities and method. I could never go back to combustion and being high all the time is boring. But I would choose to microdose each evening with a dry herb vape and a frostie beer over never having another puff....

Definitely everyday!

All day every day if i could although i would miss the the bliss highs after an unwanted T-Break due to being skint or not being able to get)

Im gonna rephrase the question;

would you rather consume thc every day or never again?

never again is my answer, shit gets tiring and boring. im heavily addicted to THC, whether it be smoking, vaping or eating. i can stop smoking, because i never mixed with tobacco, but i cant stop my intake of THC

True dude it gets to the point sometimes where im so desensitised to being high that it only feeds the craving without actually getting me stoned

Much like eating, breathing, sleeping and reproducing; smoking would get repetitive you are correct.

Reminds me of the Richard Neville quote when asked : 'Is marijuana addictive?'
'Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.'

There is no telling that they might come at the same time, and the choice will be made for you.

I think if it was guaranteed I would never get lung/ respiratory issues later in life I would smoke forever, unfortunately that is not the case. Luckily one can get edibles/ tinctures, live resin and vapes on here as an alternative. I enjoy live resin carts these days (closest thing in terms of spliff hit for me, yes good edibles hit harder perhaps as they always did, and if I wanted couch look I would perhaps look at edibles) and feel better for it. I do miss a spliff and rolling one, but the last time I tried to smoke spliff it made me want to puke it was that disgusting. There is no way I’m going back to spliff now….then again I probably smoked spliff for about 25 years so I can’t say I didn’t spliff it to the max…..

I thought thats what we were doing😜🫁💨

i can't read books high as the words don't go in, and i find it amazing that anyone can!

but here are a couple of recommendations:

- mason & dixon, by thomas pynchon. possibly my favourite novel, and i recently finished a fourth or fifth reading of it.

- ways of being, by james bridle. fascinating book about AI, climate change, computing, and how we humans relate to (or fail to relate to) the non-human world.

Same, thats where Audible comes in handy :D

oh good tip! and nice to know i'm not the only one who can't read when high.

i'm kinda resistant to audio books for some reason (i think podcasts fill that gap for me).

any favourite audiobook recommendations?

oh yeah I'm the same - can't really enjoy books stoned! Audio books are a good idea :)

Thomas Pynchon is such a good writer. My personal favourite is Gravity's Rainbow. Pretty sure that he would write a lot of his work completely high to help him get into the characters' heads...and then edit it sober. Which isn't a bad process. It's probably how he came up with a guy who's have sex when a missile falls, so they use his erection as an early warning system ;). Also a long, phantasmagorical trip down a toilet.

Aye, I really enjoyed the Unhappy Medium by TJ Brown, hilarious and Redshirts by John Scalzi is fun

Im in awe of anyone who can manage Pynchon . Tried n failed!

Mr Nice - Howard Marks
Cosmic Trigger (Vols. 1,2,3 ) - Robert Anton Wilson

Mr Nice is definitely on my list. What did you think?

Def. worth a read

Joe Abercrombie is my current favourite author. Kind of grim fantasy.
He builds characters so well you feel like you know them. Start with the First Law trilogy or The Heroes if you just want to dip your toe in.
If you prefer audiobooks the narrator who reads for him, Steven Pacey, is awesome. I didn't like audiobooks at all before listening to him

new Abercrombie book out next month. Great books, especially when read by Pacey!

Mockingbird - Walter Tevis
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke
Snowblind - Robert Sabbag
The Name of The Wind - Patrick Rothfuss

Snowblind is amazing. Old school smuggling at its finest.

How about The Day Of The Jackal by Frederick Forsyth

for philosophy then Meditations by Marcus Aurelius of course 😀

This was excellent.

Anything Jeff Noon. Start with Vurt though. Falling Out Of Cars is my favourite by him.

Thoroughly depressing dystopian shit, all set in a future Manchester.

It’s great. If you haven’t read Jeff. Read him immediately. It’s so bleak it totally cheers you up.

Automated Alice.

He rewrote Alice In Wonderland the minute it was out of copyright. Set it in Manchester. In the future. Published that shit.

You have to read Vurt and Pollen first, or it’s just nonsense. 🤣


Aldous Huxley.

Ol’ Bull Lee, Hunter S.

Foucault

Ol’ Palahniuk

Carl Sagan

Trainspotting. Irvine Welsh. It’s kinda Nirvana the band, in book form.

The Bridge. Ian Banks. Wasp Factory if you haven’t read it. Espedair Street is a great book also.

Lanark. Alasdair Grey.

Only Forward/Spares. Michael Marshall Smith.

Underrated books, that guy writes, if you like fun books to read.

Keats. Yeats. Byron. Pinter. Meadows. Morrissey. Mark E Smith. Linton Kwesi Johnson. The poetry of people like Mike Skinner and the master, John Cooper Clarke.

Dickens

HP Lovecraft.

John Lydon.

Kevin Shields.

Not books. Sorry.

Illuminatus!, Cosmic Trigger. Robert Anton Wilson. Carlos Casteneda. Because sometimes you want the bollocks to be true. Bit of Church of The Subgenius. Our captain and saviour. Roberto Dobbs.

Terence McKenna. Food of The Gods.

That’s a book.

Desmond Morris. Errol Morris

Alesdair Crowley. And yes. Jimmy Page did buy his Scottish retreat.

Look into that one. It’s a deep, interesting rabbit hole.

Allen Ginsberg, Tom Wolfe, Jack (Daniels) Kerouac.

Anais Nin

Henry Miller.

Sexytime.

Bill Gibson. Alan Moore. Alan Martin. Bill Drummond.

I’ve given you enough to be getting on with. I wish I could be reading all of that shit for the first time.

Don’t read any of these books or authors. They are a big part of why I’m so dysfunctional.

They do all cut through the bullshit kinda nicely. If you are open to it.

Any book by Thomas Pynchon. Vineland is my favourite

James by Percival Everett

Who Paid the Piper by Frances Stonor Saunders

River god.

American physco.

The shrinking man

Fight club

Easter island

Might be a bit late to the thread but ragdoll by daniel cole is a book i wish i could read for the first time again, crime drama/detective fic, highly recommend. They turned it into a tv series too, which i havent seen yet so cant say if its as good as the book.
Real life stuff i just got done reading the rodchenkov affair, which was a very interesting read although i suppose a bit of a niche topic 😅

Hi there, I fulfilled a life goal (sadly it took a spine injury which is why I smoke so much lol) by collecting and reading every single Terry Pratchett book, namely the Discworld series, in order ofc lol. Described Like Lord of the Rings, but with comedy.

The early few books he's still finding his feet in the world he creates imo but soon it becomes a wonderfully weaved web of hilarity and a comparison of the real world and his own.

Theres also something for everyone, i personally like the "Guards" series following the careers of the officers there.

So many but a random quote without even checking.

"It's impossible to get through the day without committing some kind of crime, unless of course you stand all day in a dark basement.
But even then, you're probalbly guilty of loitering"

Theres a Wizards side, a Witches side, Trolls who get more intelligent the colder they get and DEATH, who really likes curry, and has a daughter.

I discovered this series over 20 years ago and now, read them all several times, have a peruse, theres something for everyone and all 40 odd books can be read individually or in sections

Bram stokers dracula , Dune by frank herbert ,anything by philip k Dick .. Gileads blood by Dan abnett.

If you like fantasy that doesn't take itself too seriously, anything by Joe Abercrombie. I've just finished his latest ' The Devils' and blew through it in a week, it's fantastic.

I've gone through loads of the SF Masterworks and I'd say the majority of them are really good.
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/6228.SF_Masterworks
Obviously it helps if you like your scifi.

Someone else I came across recently on reddit is Exurb1a; The Fifth Science
https://amzn.eu/d/cTb8lPV
Highly recommend, it's a collection of short stories that do sort of tie into one another. I loved it

A couple of books I've really enjoyed reading while stoned are,

Jerusalem by Alan Moore.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern.

Jerusalem in particular opened doors to other realms, time, the Universe and our place within it that have never closed.

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
Mr Nice by Howard Marks
Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh
Hit and Run: How Jon Peters and Peter Guber Took Sony for a Ride in Hollywood by Nancy Griffin
Have Gun Will Travel: Spectacular Rise and Violent Fall of Death Row Records by Ronin Ro

Stephen King Different Seasons . I’m enjoying it so far .

If your up for a mind blowing allegedly true story that is amazing try getting your hands on a copy of "The Vertical Plane" its an account of the Dodderton (that might not be spelt correctly) messages. I don't wanna spoil the plot for you or any potential readers so I'll leave it at that, anyone wanting to do there own research pre reading is welcome. Just learning about the incident is very interesting.

The master and his emissary: the divided brain

Be here now! Best book for any psychedelic journey :)

A few of my absolute favourites:

A Confederacy of Dunces - by John Kennedy Toole

Darkness at Noon - by Arthur Koestler

Stoner - by John Edward Williams
(haha not our kind, it's the character's name)

Blood Meridian - by Cormac McCarthy

The Master and Margarita - by Mikhail Bulgakov

All of these books have become important parts of me ever since I read them :)

For non fiction:

Neurosis and Human Growth - by Karen Horney

^ this helped me out in a tough time! Really interesting re human psychology.

The Master & Margarita is wild! 😍

The Glass Bead Game - Herman Hesse. One of the best I’ve ever read.

Loved this https://www.amazon.co.uk/If-You-Survive-Wilson/dp/0804100039

But if you want something more light hearted, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wee-Free-Men-Discworld-Novel/dp/0552549053

Nah, not worth it. Stick it in your checked luggage…

I cant it's battery devices has to be on hand luggage or in my pocket, I thought that but could bring more attention?

I use a cart with battery. I put the carts in my check luggage and keep the battery in my hand luggage. It’s never been questioned because obviously it could be used for nicotine or other carts.

Ah okay yeah that makes sense thanks!

I know coming back through the X ray bit in Amsterdam if you have "accidentally" left any smoke in your bag and you know what your looking for you can easily spot it on the X ray screen talking about shitting yourself 😂🫤

Haha yeah I definitely not trying bring flower lol I could go cafes when I'm out there but the prices are stupid 😅 (spain)

It would be difficult to recommend travelling with cannabis products, as I wouldn't want to be liable for any issues.

I take edibles in my hand luggage. Gummies mixed in a bag of haribo. I'm going abroad soon, and I saw Medicate Munchies and MJConcentrates have some really discreet options.

I am sure people have done what you suggest, but even when it's super stealthy, it's still a butt puckering time going through security.

Yeah it is daunting...unless you take it and puff it or lab test it?

Potentially but still risky. Cheeba Chews look like Fruitella, I’ve travelled with them before easily. But edibles hit different and may not be your thing.. I love them personally.

Definitely hits differently it is a option though just need it for sleep more so

Yeah buddy don’t get questioned until you ask if it’s not labeled either it should pass

That's what im thinking Im sure thousands of vapes are in hand luggage or in pockets at the airport. And it looks just black with the cartridge liquid visible.

Bad idea hombre, very bad idea. I took disposables to EU in Jan in my hold luggage. On way through security they tested my normal vape & the juice in my bag. Took another trip couple months later, same stealthy move with disposables. Made the mistake of smoking a wee number that morning, didn’t need to be at airport til afternoon. On way through security was asked to place my feet & hands on some contraption & it immediately detected my wake’n’bake - cue some over-zealous security gimp behaving like a flying squad goon, thinking he’s busted me “why do yer feet smell like weed?!!!” “Don’t know pal, why does your breath smell like shit?” Couldn’t find anything on me, as i obvs had nothing & another thorough check of cabin bag. Not an experience I’d want to repeat again, certainly not half-stoned

No way? Was that a UK airport? I’m always stoned headed to the airport, I’ve got 2 fucking kids to fly with ha ha

Yup. L’pool in the 1st instance, Mcr for the 2nd one - there’s some fkin agro people working at Mcr airport

I've done this a couple of times. I've taken 510 carts, 510 vape, dry herb vape, grinder from UK to Cyprus and the Canaries. Here's my 2c.

When you're going through security, they aren't looking for drugs. If they come across any obvious drugs in the course of their job, it seems reasonable that they may involve local law enforcement, but this in the UK is probably unlikely for small amounts.

I put carts in with my bag of small liquid containers undisguised and have any vapes and grinders (all cleaned carefully) in carry on.

510 carts are probably not going to leak, but it's probably worth making sure they're in sealed containers in case of leakage.

Going to Spain is probably low risk, ss Spanish law is relatively lenient compared to countries when it comes to cannabis. There seems to be little point in checking for recreational amounts going to Spain.

Coming back to the UK could be more problematic. But even there, it seems unlikely that you'll fall foul of the UK authorities. Who cares enough about a few grams of weed or a cart or two to mount random searches of passengers?

However, despite the low risk, if you are caught, there are problems that may haunt you for a while. You'll possibly have a criminal record that will probably flag you up on every subsequent visit. Which might be shared with other agencies. Not good. I mean, even though I don't want to go the USA at the moment, I wouldn't want a drug conviction showing when I'm at passport control at LAX 😳 in the future.

If you are going to take medicine on a flight, it's probably a good idea to keep the quantities appropriate to personal use. You don't want to give the authorities a reason to charge you with supplying. The penalties are generally much more severe.

How much is 'personal use' depends, of course. But I guess that a gram per day would count as a personal amount. If you're on a two week holiday, then 14g flower seems reasonable. Of course, one country's personal amount could well be another country's supplier amount...

TLDR: It depends on your personal risk / reward assessment for each journey. The chances of being caught are low. But the consequences could be dire.

Thanks for the advice guys!

Lol @ Gammon 🤣
"Lefty hypocrisy", sounds familiar.

“Racism in any form is a vile tool wielded by the bourgeoisie to fracture the working class! Attacking whites with hatred only mirrors oppressive tactics, perpetuating division. True revolution demands forging unbreakable solidarity across all peoples—an internationalist front to overthrow capitalist tyranny, not rival tribalism!”

firstly .. stop being a gammon ,id call you a sausage , its just words and its not really gonna do anything is the only thing you can really do just dont do the same , almst seems one sided ------ almost feels like i should feel bad for bing white sometimes and no i dont

You and Zapgaz are both marks

I have no idea what that means . Why don't you answer the question ? A lot of lefty hypocrisy around here .

Yeah mate it’s class enjoy bro rb is on fire with his strains just now

A couple Scotch pancakes (heated up or freshly warm) with butter and maybe a little jam.

Tea with milk and 1 sugar.

A couple hits of @CanadianImports finest...

Magic.

Sounds like a super sweet start to the day 😍

I’ve heard a lot about this recently !
I remember at one point in time I was doing this without knowing as I used to wake up early for work and didn’t have time to eat until 4/5 and I genuinely felt a lot better health wise!
I’ve been hitting the gym recently and trying to gain a little muscle 💪 do you think this would be a good idea while trying to do so?
I currently eat a lottt for breakfastt to get the big protein intake 😭

Have a look into intermittent fasting, loads of pages on reddit.

Personally, mines a joint and a red bull and I'm good all day. But drink about 10 red bulls a day so maybe a diet change is needed 😅

Same

That’s a very common diet ! 😂 definitely try to gradually change it you’ll feel a lottt better ! Health is wealth 🤞😇

definitely some bacon along with a bowl of fruit-loops

Yeah, loads of my customers, even though I say not to use it.

Then their account gets closed with 1000s in and they complain to me that it's closed.

I wouldn't use it personally.

I buy my bitcoin on Revolut, then transfer it to my exodus wallet to transfer it to lb. You do pay a wee bit extra in fees but gets around the 50 addresses thing. Exodus is a really easy app to get too👍 hope this helps

Usually costs me less than £2 to send from exodus to lb but will also cost to send to exodus from revolut

50/50
I have had them ask for statements on where the money was sent and shit. They've froze my account for it before too. They definitely overstep when it comes to crypto.

Avoid at all costs. They'll close accounts and tell you to suck eggs.

Yep. Rather have the fees on coinbase knowing that they won't close my account for not telling them my mothers maiden name

Yes, i do and the fees are low but you are only able to send to a number of 50 adresses / life. And when adding new adress to make payment to it you need to declare as yours otherwise they'll ask for more details about recipient!
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hey Man. I'm having an issue with adding new address on revolut. Didn't even know about the 50 address thing. Sounds like I have hit my limit. Any idea what happens next? I'm waiting on the help centre.

if you hit the limit then you can never add more. i hit my limit and when i contacted support they said there was nothing they could do

Useful information. I had no idea about this. Used them for a year and already burned through 1/5 of the limit after checking. Good job I do larger orders but will now be more careful.

Nice one 👍

I've been using my Revolut as a buyer for a long time with loads of purchases. You'll be fine!

One thing that helped me was to add the vendor's wallet address as one of your own (sending money to yourself).. Much easier and quicker that way and a lot less questions.

Disagree strongly. I've had dozens of customers lose money to revolut and never get it back. Avoid it and avoid anyone telling you otherwise.

The best for me is sitting down with a cuppa and a joint after a hard shift, feeling my muscles and mind relax, the world seems like a better place, not in a delusional way but feeling good enuff to not think about the shit side of life)
