My one hesitation with weed is impact of smoke in lungs, but that’s easily avoidable with edibles now.[user not found] wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 6:16 pm I prefer booze to weed, strongly, but like all chemicals it's different for everyone.

Aside from that I had my first annual review here today.. 3.7/5. Not bad since the target is 3. Mostly 4s a few 3s and 5s. Something to try to beat next year. Got good feedback for what I do well and a few easy things he’d want to see improved on.

I need to learn more about just CBD. I think it needs some THC, but I’ve heard that as long as it’s a full spectrum CBD you can still get those benefits without the psychoactive effects of the THC.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sat Feb 08, 2020 10:36 amIt's worth trying.troyguitar wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 6:02 pm
I have to ask since I've never tried it. Is weed really that fucking great?
CBD stuff apparently does have some positive effects, as well.

I’m currently putting my toe in the shallow end of edibles. I have a strong preference for booze but I will report when I have more data. The point would be to substitute, not be additive, obvitroyguitar wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 6:02 pmI have to ask since I've never tried it.

Team re-org happened at work. Effective immediately, my new title will be Security Mangler
I will have two direct reports (currently both vacancies that will get filled with occupancy goals for the site). Really excited to get some mangler experience, although I know it is basically headache and babysitting.
I guess

It's pretty different than drinking. I like it when alone, it kind of just makes mundane things like movies/TV/food better or enhanced. Comedy is funnier, something simple like a glass of orange juice can taste fucking amazing. It's also way cheaper than booze and pretty much sans all of the negative effects (getting fat, hangovers, addictive qualities).troyguitar wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 6:02 pmI have to ask since I've never tried it.

At the end of the day though, booze is more fun.
FWIW I've lived in only places where it's illegal, it is still pretty darn easy to find typically, and NBD in the eyes of most law enforcement. I went through a phase where I had a piece with me almost always on weekends and would just relatively openly spark it up in parking lots and such and never had an issue.SAWCE wrote: ↑Fri Feb 07, 2020 5:32 pm Northrop interview yesterday.

Oh yeah I’m not worried about that part.. the job is on a classified program though and I’d likely be put in for TS clearance. So weed is a no-go for that.D Griff wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 4:16 pmFWIW I've lived in only places where it's illegal, it is still pretty darn easy to find typically, and NBD in the eyes of most law enforcement.

Although, I haven’t heard shit back yet and I’m expecting that I didn’t get it. I’ve smoked a few times after I made that conclusion. We’ll see what happens. I’m lean and have a fast metabolism so I could probably clear a detectable amount out of my system for a piss test within 2-3 weeks, which shouldn’t be an issue since that’s the last step of getting an offer finalized.

That kinda takes weed out of the running permanently if you get it.

Yeah. That’s one con against taking the job. We’ll see if I even get an offer though. I’ll check the portal now and see if there’s any update to my status, maybe it’ll show that I wasn’t selected and I can continue to smoke in peace. It is Steak and Mac night...

It's something I have struggled to define. You do enough of it, and you're "weird" for the day after. Sort of lethargic and semi just uninterested in anything. It certainly has side effects I also do find it to be "addictive". I think that definition varies person to person, but if I find myself thinking "hmm I felt weird after but I should prob do it again" then it is certainly some sort of addictive property within the chemical, if it wasn't ... why do it at all ? All fun things are "addictive".D Griff wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2020 4:14 pmIt's pretty different than drinking.

Also you can sort of get fat on it as well as it is a known appetite stimulant and as you've mentioned it makes food taste better. While it doesn't have the calories until booze, it sure does make you want to consume them elsewhere
Overall I'd say it is quite different from booze, but I bet it has side effects to yet known for many years, I don't believe that inhaling smoke from a joint or chemically altering your brain/nervous system over extended periods of time is harmless, that's just "BIG WEED" propaganda.

for me it would turn my focus on an external stimulation like a movie or music up to 11. Deep thoughts come easily.
it's probably just good for external stimuli in general. Food seems to be better, hanging with SO and touching and sex is great, etc.
I always definitely had a hangover but it was mild compared to booze. But I personally don't have many data points either, was never a regular user, and many times it was mixed with at least some alcohol as well. College,
brain go brrrrrr
I would agree with all of that. It's not exactly a hangover, like raging discomfort in the head, stomach, etc. like from booze, but more of a laziness and tiredness day after. For me, if I've had a few drinks, I ALWAYS want to keep pounding more and rather frequently go to far with it. Weed doesn't have that effect, I can take a couple of puffs and be "good", maybe another couple of puffs a couple hours later if I'm still awake.max225 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 19, 2020 8:58 amIt's something I have struggled to define.

I'm sure it has negative impact if used a lot over time - smoking is obviously not good for the lungs, it does seem to cause some memory loss, lethargy, etc. Who knows long term? Short term, at least for me, booze is much worse as it has often resulted in bad decisions leading to anything from embarrassment to seriously damaging some relationships. Over time I've gotten much better with not overdoing it but it still happens from time to time. It's really fun though, when used correctly, so I am hesitant to just walk away from it entirely.
