Alcohol doesn't help, but weed really fucks up the efficacy of anesthetics, even locals apparently b/c I felt everything when I got a filling back in spring. It does gently caress with locals too, but not to the extent of knock out drugs. The hour or so I was in the chair getting my teeth yanked out, I was stuck with locals as they went, because they were only effective for so long and my weed habit definitely had an effect. I didn't take a break before, smoked the morning of, drove both ways, even stopped to buy a clone and some seeds on the way to the VA. Didn't get any pain killers for it, took naproxen. I might have a higher than average pain tolerance, but the three days following weren't a picnic. Nicotine patches helped. If you're getting work done, tell your dentist you smoke weed so they can stick you with a double dose. At least make them aware of it beforehand.

I caught up several fillings and a root canal a couple of years ago and never had any trouble w/ the anesthesia, but I always do 50-100mg of CBD for dental anxiety so maybe that helps idkSgtScruffy posted:Looks like I’m gonna get me one of them technicolor ones to treat myself.

Thing about the anesthetics and weed thing is it's not universal, but the likelihood of an interaction is common enough that you should give your dentist a heads up anyhow. It may not effect you individually, but it effects enough people that it's helpful to know.

You will buy it, use it and be happy Then about 2 months you will say "I wonder if the copper thingy is as good as they say, hey it's ten dollars, why not?" And you will wonder why you didn't just buy it at the start

It amazes me this thread has existed for 6 years. I guess I read TCC & GBS both pretty heavily, like, 2005-2009 and then fell off both. At that time, weed was illegal and obviously we didn't have this thread. Came back to GBS over the past couple weeks mostly to follow takes on the simultanious and darkly hilarious implosions of FTX and Twitter, but I may as well toot my horn a bit. If any y'all legal adults ever up in north/central VT and wanna stop by for a sample, The State Permits This And So Do I. (I do not sell weed under any circumstances. I give away an average of a half pound a year! ) The last of four outdoor plants I chopped this season, and resulting Strategic Weed Reserve. My math on this is that the outdoor bud cost $7.70 per ounce dried bud (yield around 56oz total dry bud weight plus 10oz of decent trim) which is, of course, substantially cheaper than what I pay indoor. Indoor, yeah. I built myself a reasonable if kinda barebones/janky space a year ago when my wife asked me if I could move the poo poo out of the house because of her allergies, it was around $5000 to finish off a 10x10 area inside an existing 20x20 structure with proper 6" faced insulation and a floor built on top of a foundation of 4x4 PT beams sitting on top of gravel after excavating a ton of dirt (that part sucked). I posted a thread about the shed build out itself here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3980101 -- possibly good information for anyone trying to do similar. Proceeded to spend another $2000 upgrading my extraction gear. Current status of weedshack: as full of Arcarta Trainwreck as legally possible, that ought to be done in about 5 weeks. These got massive because I didn't want to flip to 12/12 until I was done with the outdoor bullshit so I just kept topping them Grids? Nets? Who needs that poo poo, we doin' this redneck style Because this space is generally not 100% air tight, bugs tend to get in and as weather got colder I was having more of an issue with aphids but then I started seeing ladybugs and I still see a ton of them and I see very, very few aphids. I will still let the weed go to -10C overnight once it's cut to kill anything and then wash it well before I dry it, but, not too worried, this is the country, bugs are bugs, I know what weed looks like when it's really getting hit by aphids and that is not what's happening, I think I am just breeding a fat army of ladybugs. z Extraction process: soaking weed in 100% food grade ethanol at -14F or lower results in a nonpolar extraction that will leave chlorophyll and plant fats behind, so step one is doing that soak (3x, new booze each time) and then filtering it through a buchner, ideally before it warms up very much. Consistency of process on that end is the biggest variable in quality of resulting oil; even generally weak and lovely weed will make good oil, it just doesn't make nearly as much of it. If things are done pretty well it comes out looking like the tub in the 3rd pic, and then sometimes I decarb it in a tiny mason jar and use that to make tincture. The two different colors of tincture show a variance in extraction quality: both were done using trim leaf, but the darker stuff got warmer, hence, chlorophyll. Also, I make this tincture stabilized at 133mg/ml of decarb shatter, when making it for myself, and about 66.6mg/ml when I am making it for the friends I cook this stuff for. For me, @ 133mg/ml I am good after 2-3ml, I've also been told by my wife that's enough to make a normal person go completely off the wall and when she takes my product she starts with, like, 1/8tsp. Unsure if I am a bad metabolizer of edibles or just have an insane tolerance but I suspect the latter!! Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

I've been in and out of the doctor a lot lately because of this thing in my abdomen, but the current theory is that "it's not of consequence" so I'll sit on it for a month and get another ultrasound in December to see if it's changed. In any case, my blood pressure was 10 points higher the week I abstained from weed than the week I was using.

Weird blowup at the in-laws. We just passed a rec law, and my BIL decided to rant about how the state is ruined because of it. I could only keep my mouth shut so long, so I told him I’ve held a med card for years, and it’s improved my life. He was shocked that I, a clean-cut white guy with a job uses the devil’s flower. He got in my face yelling about how any benefits I feel are just “the justifications of a junkie” and I need to “stay away from his children.” I’m kind of mad that no one else spoke up until he left, especially my father-in-law who smokes more than I do.
