Cannabis does not have to be inhaled to be used. Or are you saying you can get COPD from gummies?
Why not both??
Cool, whatever stops you from drinking yourself to death I guess.
So statistically speaking, at least some of the cool kids are doing it?
Recently quit drinking. Went to hit my disposable (only because I only got high once every few months or I'd have bought a refillable vape) and it was dead. Went to a shop yesterday to replace it. Found the gummies that we'd bought last year while doing spring cleaning.
We have a lot planned for today (Saturday) including going into farmland where you can pay to pick fresh fruit plus running some errands. But I'm getting high tonight.
That's awesome. I hope it helps you stay sober!
Grazie! (I had to look up how to spell it.)
I don’t trust a news source still calling it marijuana. Marijuana is a Mexican weed that was used as racist propaganda against cannabis in the early 20th century.
I’m happy to see the wide-spread adoption of cannabis. It’s non-addictive (it can be habit forming), you can’t overdose on it, and withdrawal is non-existent. Alcohol is addictive, you can def die from consuming too much in a single sitting, and withdrawal can literally kill you.
The nomenclature doesn’t really matter. In Oklahoma its called a “Medical Marijuana Card” you have to get to consume
I agree with you about it being a propaganda word, but you really should trust the Associated Press as a source.
Yeah, AP is good. But this does show a lack of understanding on the part of the author. I expect better of them.
It does show a lack of understanding, but I don't expect better of them because that's something that, in general, has been lost to history. It's just not widely known. Plenty of regular cannabis users still call it marijuana.
My mother caught me high as fuck when I was ~16yo and asked me, "Have you been smoking the pot?"
The pot.
I laughed so hard it was impossible to lie that I wasn't high.
I have a vague memory of a comedian (Kevin Meaney maybe) talking about his dad asking him if he was "smoking the pot" whenever he said something his dad didn't understand.
This is exactly why marijuana will remain illegal in France. The wine industry will not allow such verdant competition.
It's only marijuana if it's from the Marijuana region of France. Otherwise, it's sparkling cannabis.
This is a beautiful comment.
It's just the same old joke... At least it's better than surrender monkeys I guess.
Shiny happy people all around!
