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!

Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain

Mr Nice & Dope Stories by Howard Marks

Been reading "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking",

Really interesting when you want to get into philosophy.

Shantaram

Septimus Heap books (kids books, don't care, love them and read them yearly, Harry Potter can fuck off)

Ink and Sigil series

Any book by Thomas Pynchon. Vineland is my favourite

James by Percival Everett

River god.

American physco.

The shrinking man

Fight club

Easter island

Mockingbird - Walter Tevis
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke

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 😀

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

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.

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

Something we can relate to.

The biggest reason is the site doesn't have a stock counter with automatic cut off.

We can't sit here all day monitoring stock levels.

Quite often orders can come in in a flurry and you're out of a product before you know it.

We try to control what people can buy, but occasionally a buyer will buy multiples of an item and now suddenly we're out of stock.

Sometimes we've miscounted and assumed we have more than we actually have.

To our buyers, you're always welcome to message us to check availability before buying something.

THC

A stock counter would be amazing

What’s even more annoying is that someone can put something in their basket. Leave it there for a day and then complete the purchase.
If you’ve stocked out/paused selling in the meantime it doesn’t stop the order being processed.
Makes me look like a dick when I cancel the order despite following the steps to pause selling on out of stock items.
If i have to cancel an order it’s annoying for both sides and never done lightly as I know it’s a pain getting coin back etc.

Damn, had no idea this was possible. That sucks.

Thanks for sharing though :)

Thanks man, always awesome to hear the other side of the coin :)

Again, no hate against any sellers - y'all are doing some great work.

Yea happened this end , but to be fair im stil in the excitement days of it turning up , so wast bothered by the swap around , but totally get where your coming from , specially when its for a certain medical purpose. But you know now moving forward to just add that detail in ya pm when ordering. Pain in the bum , but least it sorts it . Merry Christmas chap .

Oh for sure, there's absolutely no hate towards anybody at all :) I always keep a little hidden stash for my parent, so that when they're running low I can give them the stash and then order the next batch.

I love the sellers on here. :)

This guy 😅😅😅

Asks the guy who joined 3 months ago and has 0 buys…lmao haha 👀

Y'all really that oblivious you're unaware that peeps can have other accounts? Ok.

Janitorial staff is pretty secure

Trolling the workmates needs a personal human touch 😂

says the ai 😂

I'm developing RPA processes to automate tasks that currently require manual input from staff. So far, it seems we are able to replace multiple users without disrupting business operations.

For now, decision-making remains a task for humans.

Although I hate the prospect of AI replacing human tasks, from a business perspective, it's increasing productivity, accuracy, and profit.

In the end, no job will be safe, not even mine.

He is probably swamped with messages about tracking like every vendor is this time of the year. Be patient, if you've ordered before and it has arrived on time, it will come.

24hr tracked isn't a guaranteed delivery service, our t24s have been taking up to 7 days to arrive, even special deliveries have been taking 3 days to arrive.

You're just gonna have to be patient and wait.

thanks! wow thats insane delays! i hope it comes sooner than that lol

^^is what it is. Vendors are mad busy rn even my most frequent and favourite vendor who I have good bants with hasn’t got back to me yet, imagine working weed retail at Christmas must be rushed off their feet

LOL its insane! ive also noticed quite a few vendors going dry too! RM busy because of LB insane orders LOL

Defo this.

Royal mails in a bad way right now, some of my 24ndd is taking 7 days plus and thats with tracking ive seen for myself. Even on normal items. I don’t
blame vendors rn tbh

dam thats insane! yeah not blaming vendor just wanted to know if its normal and how long to wait as this is my first time ordering over xmas! the vendor had good reviews so not a matter of trust. just didnt know rm is that bad right now

of course mate sorry i knew you wernt blaming vendor! i just got my stuff from the 24ndd delays today. seems like nothing moved for 4 days classic royal mail

I can relate to your situation, as others have already said this is royal mail delay, there probably swamped with parcels at the moment with Christmas just round the corner. Just wait a day or two extra guarantee you it will turn up I've been in the same situation myself where I've been left waiting, it's a bit frustrating but the main thing is to stay patient.

lol i dont mind waiting, been waiting since monday :( my actual issue is i dont want others in my house to open the parcel ;) LOL not knowing where or when is my issue tbh if they were to give me the tracking that would help so i know what day its coming! praying its tomorrow.

It's Wednesday!! so you only ordered yesterday. Will probably arrive Thursday/Fri due to extra post at the mo

i ordered on tuesday night, marked as dispatched wed morning. as it was marked 24hr just assumed it would be here by now considering i dont have postal issues on my end. Guess the xmas postal is building up on delays.

Hopefully it will arrive soon for you.

thanks bud! been bloody dry since sunday :(

Was it tracked 24 or was it guarenteed by 1pm? If it’s tracked then Royal Mail is telling people it’s 2-3 days because of Christmas. Our postie dropped me some hash off today and a package was missing, he said half the staff working now are agency and shit so loads of delays everywhere

Bought from seller myself and although we had a small problem and they took a while to reply I found them to be fair and very quick to solve the issue so hopefully all will be well for you

Well ended up buying from another vendor and both came today 😆

Merry Christmas 🤣
