Book readers in here? Recommendations?

Any book readers in here?

Baked last weekend with time to kill, decided to top it off by popping an edible or two and started re-reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Well... Suffice to say that I'm still thinking about it.

Metro 2033 was an interesting read while stoned, as was World War Z, I am legend, The Road, and the brilliant Children Of Men.

I will say, though, that reading Rosemary's Baby high left a very strange feeling in my heart. Like I truly have no idea what's happening just next door from me.

Y'all got any recommendations? Reading Lord of The Rings currently, then have a few philosophy & history books lined up.

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

quagmirewrangle

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?

joedassinmosquito2

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.

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!

Jester

Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain

Mr Nice & Dope Stories by Howard Marks

Sellers - why keep selling something if it's out of stock?

by Nietzsche

Sellers - why keep selling something if it's out of stock?

Not hatin' on anybody - just curious.

I order specific strains for specific reasons. For example, one strain helps one of my parents with arthritis. Sucks, therefore, when everything turns up but it is a completely different strain. No heads up, no forewarning, no nothing.

Any buyers ever experienced this? I appreciate sellers may compensate with something 'stronger' or of more quantity, but I want what I ordered... If you can't provide it, I'd rather get a heads-up before you send me something I didn't ask for. My aforementioned parent cannot handle anything stronger, and it is only through trial & error that we have found what works.

Idk. Not the end of the world. Just a shame sometimes.

TheHashCollective23 9.8/10

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.

A stock counter would be amazing

Rocketdogronnie 9.7/10

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.

Nietzsche

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

Thanks for sharing though :)

Nietzsche

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.

Splendz

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 .

Nietzsche

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. :)

24hr tracked

Hey man. I ordered NDD on Tuesday before cut off, which was 3PM. Nothing on Wednesday, then everything arrived today (Thu). Sorry to hear about your t…

on jafer2

24hr tracked

Bought from a plug here that were online 3hrs ago (your natural medicine) and since then I have asked for tracking but they are ghosting me. I purchased on Tuesday it's now Thursday and postie just went by 😞 another day wasted another day I have to take off work ffs! I knew I should of went with my regular plug. Question is how long do people wait before taking this further? Also I paid for 24hr which is a pisstake. Thing is total lack of communication once it was marked as dispatched. I'm sure it's just busy due to Xmas but postie said no issue on their end with delays. Just wish the plug would contact me.

DiamondExtracts 9.7/10

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.

jafer2

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

Zeek

^^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

jafer2

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

Babbstar1 9.9/10

Defo this.

biggysmallsisback

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

jafer2

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

biggysmallsisback

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

zerocool40

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.

jafer2

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.

Tallman74

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

+2.2

jafer2

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.

Tallman74

Hopefully it will arrive soon for you.

jafer2

thanks bud! been bloody dry since sunday :(

Zeek

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
