Me too. An occasional bong hit is relaxing and puts your brain in a nice place. That some people still have a 1930's reefer madness mentality is strange considering all the info out there. It's just a plant.

I don't even need to use that much. I use .1 in a one hitter. I can't wait until its legalized so I can get well measured & evenly dosed edibles.

On it's own I would not be surprised. Baked goods and carbs are very bad for inflammation though

Seems to be a promising treatment for rheumatoid arthritis among other inflammatory diseases.

I also find that just one hit is sufficient. When I was young I smoked a lot of joints, all day long. That's not a good idea and really an unecessary waste of money. I find Indica preferable. Sativa is like weed with 15 shots of esspresso. I live now in Amsterdam. It's nice to be able to just go to the store and buy it. Soon it will be legal in Connecticut. If you grow 4 or 5 plants in your yard you will have more than enough for a year.

good natural remedy for inflammation is daily consumption of tumeric. There is an herb called devils claw that works well for rhuematoid arthritis. You take it for thirty days. I have heard good things from people who have used it and am planning to give it a try myself.

If the exercise feels like a chore it has a negative affect on ones health.

Same with any of the generalized recommendations. If you’r not happy in the process the goal is less likely to be accomplished.

While I understand the principle to which you are alluding, it probably does not apply to exercise. The body has an amazing ability to recuperate from occasional assaults of most kinds. Hence, you would have to exercise chronically, eat processed foods chronically, have chronic stress (which often happens in our society), etc., etc. to have an impact on health.

Yet if you got to the point where you exercised chronically you would, among other things, be fueling your body with the very hormones that mitigate the harmful impact of negative feelings, particularly negative feelings towards exercise as a chore. Different strokes for different folks, I did not mean to imply that everyone should dance or trail run, and there may be physical limitations that prevent someone from exercising regularly. It's kind of a Catch-22. If you could exercise so much that it would impact your health from the negative feelings of a chore, there would be too many beneficial hormones for that to happen.

On edit: I should add that you can, in fact, get too much exercise, or exercise unwisely. There are two hormones produced by exercise, adrenaline and cortisol, that are bad if produced in excess. Cortisol is particularly bad and happens to be the hormone produced by chronic stress as well.

Cortisol keeps you from burning fat, too

Taxed too

Have fun with that, already dealing with it here in CA

Gonna be great seeing a fair amount of Nutmeggers driving up to MA to get their fix while our broke-as-hell state misses out on millions in tax revenue.

What's a slice cost?
Expand ...
Jesus now I feel like I’m old and been out the game for a while, have had a legitimate source for a couple years now and have no idea what a “slice” is

For a while I’ve been on 1g vape cartridges that have been $40. Those last me at least as long an eighth of flower used to, which I would get 45 plus/minus 5 (my previous connects were friends so they weren’t trying to get $60 from me). Definitely recommend that you go that method of administration if you can. But anyway suddenly my bill came out with an average of about $6 extra per cartridge

Edit and that seems somewhat congruent with the broader CA sales tax so you may be able to calculate what to expect wherever you are

The state is idiotic not to legalize but I don't get why any weed smokers want to buy weed from the gov't.

Lol a slice is an eigth. Like how there are eight slices of pizza in a whole pizza. You can usually get them for $35 here. They were $50 when I was in college

Haven't heard anything about you being allowed to grow your own weed in CT., I highly doubt that is currently allowed or will be allowed.

Isn't it allowed in all the other legal states? Honestly I barely go through anything so the tax doesn't bother me. I only smoke about a half oz/year

I know for a fact Connecticut is insane compared to other states when it comes to getting in the weed game. Way more hoops to jump through, way more licenses, and way more money. Like everything else Connecticut will massively screw up what should be a good thing.

In Massachusetts:
You can grow up to six plants at home, or 12 if more than one adult lives there. You’re allowed to possess the amount harvested from those plants, even if it exceeds 10 ounces. You can gift your home-grown pot to friends, but you can’t sell it or barter it for other goods and services. Good news for would-be home-growers: The cannabis commission recently decided that retail pot shops can sell seeds and clones to consumers.

It's a plant I'm not really sure how much they can screw it up. It's not like the state would be growing it or controlling supply

So an on-line article advises "Research has repeatedly shown that being on screens is linked to depression, isolation, and jealousy." then the boneyard discusses it for three on-line pages and counting. Seems about right.

Ha, I thought you meant "slice" as in literally a slice of Pizza sprinkled with herb. Your preferred choice of edible.

I actually never heard of micro dosing. I don't consider one hit to be much.
 
How many miles overall?

Um, have you noticed your icon?

When I hiked the PCT in 1977 with three other guys it wasn't a finished trail and we often the only ones out there. We identified each other's footprints to know who was ahead, behind or lost. I had the same size feet and boots as one of the other hikers, but I tend to bounce when I walk, digging into the dirt as I walk, hence, diggerfoot.
