Re: Legalizing marijuana
Can't remember if I've shard this story or not. But, eh, it's friday so enjoy again anyway.
Back in college, where all great stories start, I had just finished finals. I'm sure I'd slept maybe 10 hours over the past 3-4 days and not eaten or exercised much. In short, probably not lived a particularly healthy lifestyle for the past 5 days. At this point, I'd been type 1 diabetic for a couple years and, well, pretty much knew how to control my blood sugar but didn't have a grasp on all the finer points...like what not sleeping for a week and then taking some monster hits off a water bong would do, but I was soon to find out.
YMMV, but it dropped my blood sugar to like 45. Drank a coke or something and 15 minutes later was at like 30 which was not good. I'm high as a kite, freaking the [expletive] out at this point and couldn't find any sugar. So, I asked a friend to help me out which he did. Even though he couldn't locate any sugar in his place, he did manage to give me a piggy back ride (thinking that I didn' tneed to be wasting any sugar by walking) about half a block until a cop passed by and we flagged him down and hitch hiked to a gas station about another block and a half away. Super nice guy that was surprisingly sympathetic to my plight.
Anyway, carry on.

Re: Legalizing marijuana
I think I've heard that some place called Fried that is newer in town has a CBD option for their food but I could be wrong. Either way, their menu just doesn't seem like something I'll be trying out anytime soon anyway. There is a definite stoner theme to everything there and it is basically just fried chicken, cauliflower or shrimp nuggets with a couple of different side options.lukethedrifter wrote:Oh for [expletive] sake.tlombard wrote:Lou Boccardi's just on the edge of The Hill now offers a pretty full menu of foods with CBD in it. I've never tried it but may at some point.
Edited to add: is it because CBD adds deliciousness?
This pretty much guarantees i will never step foot in the place. Anywhere else out there for me to know about?

Re: Legalizing marijuana
I mentioned Fried a couple of posts ago. I just noticed today that they were listed in the list of restaurant closings for June in the RFT. They opened April 5 and didn't even last 3 full months. Ouch.

Re: Legalizing marijuana
A few weeks ago, I had a gummy (in OR) and it had me high as a kite. longer version
shorter but still long version:
I don't think the gummies or edibles are for me. Joints? undecided. I can't say they've made me really high like the gummy did, which probably makes joints more viable. As I tried inhaling more to get effect, it burnt my throat. I guess the bong is the solution there, but that is too much work for me.
If you haven't noticed, my head is kind of whirling dervish already. That living inside my own head meta experience, I really don't need that accentuated.
Where and when would I get high? Outdoorsy stuff - nah. I'm chilled out enjoying myself already. I tend to get myself pretty tired and don't need another variable. There's too much I want to see and do, and would probably not get to much of it, if I were high. In the daytime, It would mess me up and I'd wander around instead of going down a trail. If I managed to launch and head down river, no telling where I'd end up.
Also, when you have kids - even older age - I don't like being out to lunch around them. I don't mind being vulnerable, but that is too much. They see me drink a beer or two, but not drunk. I think if I had small kids around, I would have very limited scenarios for getting high.
I can see how some people enjoy it, and possibly manage it better. Getting high as a muse for artistry of any sort? - I think someone would have to pretty damn good at keeping a foot in reality, channel the process to capture what they want to create, write, or sing etc (like I tried with my garmin experience) - and then look at it later and decide what is actually enlightened vs plain ole garbage. I suspect most would fall into the latter category. But then again, we know musicians have pulled it off.
We'll see., until next time.
