A Marijuana Thread

Now that recreational marijuana is legal and is being sold in Ohio, I have been toying with the idea of going up to Cleveland and buying some. Now, keep in mind I have no idea what to get, ZERO, other than it has to be an edible. I don’t like the idea of smoking anything. But I wouldn’t mind trying some of the edibles.

I’d be looking for something not too outrageous (i .e., causing me to get stoned out of my mind). Hey, I’m 76 for crying out loud! Just something not too heavy to take the edge off occasionally (other than alcohol).

Here’s a sample website I’ve been looking at. Any suggestions?

AlextheKay might also have some suggestions. Anybody else here?


The trouble with dispensing advice on cannabis is that every individual reacts differently and we don't want to cause any harm by giving "advice" without caution.


As for myself, I always smoked the stuff. And back in the day, I never knew nor worried about the strength of a joint. I had a couple of trusted suppliers whose weed never contained any mystery substances and the highs  were always a very awesome high.


When I traveled about and was offered a joint, I accepted without thinking twice about it. But that was then and this is now. The older I got the less I smoked and finally switched to gummies. They didn't do the trick for me. Call it being just old fashioned and even though the high should have been the same - depending on the THC content, I missed having "the drag."


Now it is Geri who is taking cannabis in the form of edibles while I occasionally will take one but I now prefer the drink.


I have absolutely no idea what will be allowed in Ohio in terms of THC strength so looked through Susan's link and damn, their edibles are very high in THC content. Plus we prefer ones with some CBD content.


The closest gummy I found to what Geri takes is indeed low in THC and also contains equal part CBD was this one:

BUT DAMN, at $6 for just two gummies, that is EXPENSIVE. 

We typically buy our gummies online and buy products that don't offer more than 10mg of THC, though I have on occasion bought gummies as high as 20 mg of THC, but we always look for a CBD balance.

A good example of this would be something like this:

Each 200mg package includes 10 pieces which each contain 10mg of THC and 10mg of CBD

Or you might want to follow the following chart:


THC Dosage Chart






I would welcome anyone who is more familiar with cannabis and edibles to contribute to this conversation and see if they can improve on my recommendations.

One thing is for sure, buying legal won't be cheap. And lastly, your FIRST experience might freak you out. Make you feel like you not in control of your movements or balance. Not everyone reacts the same way.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
