Keillor was known to be kind of a cold spergy jerk in person so I wouldn't be surprised if he did some weirdly creepy poo poo to someone. And I'd say it's sad but poo poo, the guy already retired so it's not like we're deprived of anything. It's not like it's going to taint my enjoyment of his work. If you dig literature, you've already accepted great work from enormous assholes.

The problem is we had no idea what the gently caress to do with Iraq. The problem is we invaded Iraq in the first place.

I haven’t listened to his show for a while so I dunno if he’s discussed it. I should also note that I’m talking specifically about how he met his current wife, not whatever it is he’s accused of.

Suicide Watch posted:I have no idea what these people do everyday aside from blazin it I worked at a liquor store/cigarette shop for three years and we sold a gently caress ton of cigarillos (Swisher Sweets and similar brands). There were several people who I would come in 3+ times during every single one of my shifts. Their entire lives must have revolved around waking up, walking to the liquor store to buy cigarillos, going home and smoking 2-3 blunts, walking back to the liquor store and repeating the process. Every day. I probably sold over a hundred cigarillos a day and I'd guess maybe 5% of them were smoked normally without replacing the tobacco with weed. There was one guy who was almost certainly a dealer who would come in every week or two and buy 4 boxes of 15 3-packs. I always figured he gave them away to his customers

Two years of liquor store work here, and these dudes were my favorite customers. They never gave me any grief because we both knew what they did for a living, and they made sure none of their customers/buddies tried to screw with me (it's the lovely part of town where we've had 8 shootings in the past month and a half, even though we've got a population of less than 50,000 people). Good dudes.

I quit flower itself back in february and either vape hash or use an oil rig where I heat a quartz nail up with a pocket torch, and apply the hash with a little tool (a small screwdriver works). Depending on the day, I smoke a quarter to a half gram of 80% average thc. Usually hit the rig in the morning, vape pen when I'm out somewhere (not all the time everywhere, mostly breaks at work), and oil rig again after work. So anywhere from 200-400mg of thc on a weekday. And I'm completely functional. Weekend days can be probably in the 500-600mg range if the weather is poo poo and I'm huddled in my shitbox apartment. I've eaten enough edibles from shops to know that 50mg is only a baseline for me. If I want to knock myself off my feet, it's more like 150-250mg with the occasional dab to drive it up. Then I'm not going anywhere but the door to sign for a pizza, or a local walk with Frank. The common dose for a non-regular user is 10mg. Semi-regular is 20mg or so. That's usually enough to make someone giddy for a few hours then lull off into a nap. Not even a speed bump for me. I definitely have a dependency on it, am fully aware of it, and if the VA needs a guinea pig for effects studies on marijuana, sign me the gently caress up.

i was smoking an ounce a week when i got out of the army. came out to four blunts a day. it helped me not lose my loving mind when i got out, and when i would be without it i was noticeably more depressed and angry with the world. now i stopped because it does make me lazy, and i'm in my last year of undergrad and want to be productive. staying busy is a good replacement. i usually smoke during breaks though. weed is way better than anti-depressants and mood stabilizers for me.

boop the snoot posted:it's not what you know, it's who you know. An ounce of flower in Denver runs around $100-150. A gram of hash (shatter or wax) can be had for less than $20/g. Live resin bottoms out around $25/g. Just have to know where to look for deals. The Leafly app is good for this. I usually grab the recreational limit of 8 grams of hash about every three weeks. That's the single purchase limit, not a tracked thing. That can be from $120-160 after taxes at the regular places I hit. It's really not that expensive here. Where new markets are opening, it's still probably much higher.

Thalantos posted:But life sucks, being sober is a suckers game. The irony of the VA trying for years to tell me to lay off the weed and just take opioid painkillers for my back is definitely not lost on me. Once you've moved into heavy use territory, getting motivated to do anything is still hard, but nowhere near as difficult as doing it when you're still in reach of the grasp of giggle fits. I'm actually the lightest I've been since I was a teenager. That has a lot to do with my job and my dog keeping me active, but I definitely broke the munchy curse. A USA Today article a while back found heavy marijuana users were generally less likely to be obese than infrequent users or non-users. Who the gently caress knows where USA Today got that data from, but it was there for all to see, in a paper usually associated with groups that prefer it remain prohibited. Thank gently caress for Colorado. And Army beat Navy. Good poo poo.
