The typical boomer marijuana opinion is that you used to smoke in the 60s and 70s, but it should stay illegal since it's more powerful now and it's a gateway drug to fentanyl use.

just gonna put it out there that all the people that I know that regularly smoke pot are professionals with mid-to-long careers, including me, and most of them have families as well, including me. Your friends being shitheads who are too lazy to do anything isn't because of pot. Most of the people I know who died of opiate abuse or got super hosed because of meth got started with their Ritalin or Adderall prescription, not smoking pot. Putting your kids on hard stims because they had "ADD" in 1991-1995 was definitely a boomer opinion. Amphetamines being a gateway drug is gonna be a hard pill for a lot of people itt, I know.

I mean, a lot of the highly successful people I know with families and active social lives owe it to amphetamines. Or coke. Doesn't mean it doesn't make some bad tendencies worse in people, though.

Hard agree with this. Ironically most of these ads are targeted directly to boomers and their many tiresome ailments. I also miss the days when ads were straight forward “buy this chewing gum, it’s the best” instead of every ad trying sooo hard to be either subversive and surreal or just way too intimate and gross. I swear if I see that deodorant lady mugging the camera with the glob of lotion on her finger talking about STICK THIS BETWEEN YOUR BUTT CHEEKS one more time I’m going to chuck my TV out the window.

Back in the day there was differences between products so you could run an add with "45% less talcum powder in our milk!" Or "diaper cream: now lead free!" Then the spoilsport FDA came along and homogenized everything, so all the products are the same and it comes down to branding.

My secret to cocaine is I was always too poor to buy it but every client for some loving reason like mixing it with 5 minutes sex so as an escort I had copious amounts of cocaine available I miss it a lot but never felt like buying it.

BigBadSteve posted:I'm all for legalisation, though I dispute a couple of your points. Anyone who says cannabis doesn’t have withdrawal symptoms is completely full of poo poo and you should avoid them. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21665-cannabis-hyperemesis-syndrome When I lived in California weed was legal, so I began buying edibles in bulk, and this was around the beginning of covid when lockdowns were strict everywhere. Everyone was bored and confused. During that time I was taking about 400mg — 800 mg of edibles a day. Long story short I stopped abruptly (why not, been hearing about no withdrawals my whole life!) and I swear I felt like I was dying nonstop for three goddamn weeks. The most debilitating headaches, burning in my gut, PROFUSE SWEATING, vomiting I’ve ever experienced. The worst part was I couldn’t eat, and could barely keep liquids down which is dangerous as gently caress. The hospitable had me pumped full of saline around the clock simply to keep me hydrated because I literally could not drink water without throwing it up for two weeks. Easily the scariest poo poo I’ve been through. The weirdest part of it all was that the only thing that relieved it INSTANTLY was a hot bath/shower, and the moment I turned off the water I felt like I was literally dying again. And thank god it didn’t last longer because the hospital told me they ran out of saline due to COVID rampaging at the time As for thread content I agree the internet was a big fat mistake. Holy poo poo witnessing the collective dissent of society into wholesale madness has been depressing to witness these last 25 years MLSM fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Nov 3, 2022 |

cigarettes are delicious. i quit smoking years ago but sometimes my neighbor smokes nearby and i love that hint of it. sometimes ill be on the road and while almost everywhere is nonsmoking these days, ill occasionally go into some room that clearly once had a ton of people smoking in their for decades and i draw a big deep breath and think about how much more enjoyable all the conversations must have been in those decades, with everyone pausing to take a drag every few words

I smoke pot everyday and I’d be loving LIT if I ate north of 100mg in a day. The only time I’ve done that much was right before I got on a long plane flight and I just immediately fell asleep once I sat down on the plane

I can’t imagine 400mg in a day, and I’ve been smoking daily for 15 years. That’s like chugging 15 red bulls and being surprised you feel bad. To your point though: weed is absolutely addictive, but more of a lifestyle addiction than the substance itself. Although every time I quit for a few days I have insanely detailed dreams, which could be considered a withdrawal symptom.

In CA you can get about 100MG/$10 so dropping $40/day to eat edibles. Goddamn. You have to eat like 4 bags of ca compliant gummies to get the lower end of that. That's like 1200 a month in weed Jesus.

That’s like chugging 15 red bulls and being surprised you feel bad. The doctors and nurses told me CHS is becoming increasingly common and not just from edible users. Like everyone’s body is a different I know but they specifically told me cases have exploded once it became legal in the state. Buying nugs for blunts and bongs is arguably cheaper than edibles

I still role my blunts on the weekends here because gently caress giving up weed entirely, but I’m forced to lower my intake because I live in a state now where its illegal as gently caress. God bless the south!! And I hate going through dealers anyway. The only reason I smoke now is likely because my boss is also my dealer

Elentor posted:can you explain why being an alcoholic in japan is better because being an alcoholc in brazil is good but I'd trade it for coke and weed 1) so i wasn't coming from coke & weed, i was coming from crack and weird sex. The less than nothing feeling of one serotonin molecule bouncing around your rusty skull coupled with like shame and secrecy & trauma of motel stuff is a way worse hangover than alcohol, though not quite as bad as the hangover of meth binges. 2) so going to socially acceptable drinking in the alcoholism and suicide capital of japan (Akita, Akita) with an ipod full of slowcore was like finding jesus, shame & vice wise. PLUS, I was employed in Japan and had structure and walk-around-money in addition to the whole new perspective and that sense of being young and alive that travel affords. This was 2010 and it was impossible to find real work after school in the states, for me anyway. I didn't see a lot of the country but I got to know the town super well and my bartenders were some of the most kickass friends I've ever made. I did miss weed tho. The only time it appeared in Akita was at a price of $100 a gram. So like 5x mark up. One time this Canadian offered me synthetic weed and I tried it and was really mad that he would share that trash with another human being.

Sure, but one doesn't really justify the other. My point was more, "all drugs can exacerbate and enable someone's worst habits." Flip side is you can be perfectly successful and happy taking about anything. So maybe weed brings out the schizophrenic issues in one friend and helps another to deal with social anxiety. Maybe coke derails someone's life or helps them meet a deadline and keep their livelihood. If you have addiction issues, they'll all loving kneecap you. Despite that, my personal preference is the Portuguese approach to drug legalization.

I'm uh, my boomer mom's "dealer" now (she don't pay nothing, she paid enough for me to still be alive and educated) and I have to parcel it out into tiny doses split up. "Like seriously, each doesn't look like much, but it's all you need before bed, ok?" Helps her sleep better. Gotta hand it to her on the DL cause my dad is still a narc.

Social media is a joke and is responsible for the decline of America. People posting stupid fake content because "even a dislike or a bad comment still counts as engagement!" And people running with it thinking it's real. It goes from the vapid bad content from poo poo like Troom Troom and 5 Minute Crafts to conspiracy election COVID bullshit.

My most boomer-adjacent opinion is that monogamy is actually good and cool. I believe this mainly because I also believe that the vast majority of people lack the emotional maturity to handle an open relationship or polyamory. It's easy to identify which person in an open relationship came up with the idea and which one cries to sleep at night.

I know people that were in open relationships and the one thing they all had in common is soon jealously WILL enter the picture and it will gradually eat away at the relationship. It might be all fun and progressive and poo poo but all it takes is that one person to do that one thing they like and it begins.
