Really though. It’s crazy how much high is at your fingertips these days. Back in the day you had to buy weed and usually roll it into a joint or blunt, or at the very least pack it into a bowl. And either way it was getting smoked. Maybe you had a brownie once in a while if someone you knew was making them.
Make sure you know what your kid is getting themselves into

I’m really enjoying my vaporizer. Confusingly named because it’s very different that a vape. Basically you load real weed into it, not oil, and it heats its just enough to get you high without smoking. Feels much healthier on the lungs than a regular joint.

If anyone is looking for this, they call them “dry herb vaporizers” these days, to alleviate confusion.
And they are good

Hell yeah, this is the best way. Full spectrum natural effect without combustion.

It’s a consequence of weed being illegal. If you need fewer grams to get high (because it has higher THC content) you can sell less weed for the same money.

I’d argue it’s actually the other way around, as someone who partakes in a legal us state.
The “old weed” stories told to me by old timers was often whatever trash you could get ahold of. You didn’t get a choice, whatever wet, stemmy-ass baggies your local dealer was passing is what you got. Sometimes you got zonked, sometimes it was mild and pretty “meh”.
Nowadays all the legal states have tightly controlled commercial growers making flower from carefully propagated genetic lines, optimized and controlled indoor environments, taking lab tests of every batch. Since what legal dispensaries list on the wall is the THC%, thats basically the marketing number that they try to maximize. And these commercial growers end up dumping product everywhere, and even though “it’s illegal” this industrially strong weed gets exported to every other nationwide black market.
Couple that with all the different forms of distillates you can buy right off the shelf, there is more raw THC available to the modern stoner than there was to anyone else in history.

Looks like an old thumb drive to me.

Imagine coming home to your parent trying to be mad at you, while also incredibly high on your drugs.
That would be a weird experience, to say the least.

Years ago I would try to hide my pot smoking from my parents.
Now I am hiding my pot smoking from my kids.
Someday my kids will be hiding their pot smoking from me.
And my dad ended up getting into hydroponic gardening shortly after I moved out.
The circle of life, man.

When my son was looking at colleges, we took a couple of road trips together to see schools. We’ve always been very close, and I told him my drug history, as a true cautionary tale. I didn’t tell him to not try drugs, but to deal with them responsibly.
Today, he’ll do the occasional edible, but he doesn’t like smoking at all. I definitely use way more weed than he does. He’s a lightweight, one canned margarita does him in.

I would just keep swiping their vapes and not say anything. See how long it takes.

Tbh, if I saw my dad absolutely fucked up after hitting my cape pen as a teenager, it would probably have rattled me enough to make me stop for a few years at least.

Gen-X here. Most of us grew up on absolute trash weed. Modern weed is incredibly clean and strong. Vapes are a distillation of that. When it’s all said and done, taking deep hits of a THC vape after only having a few puffs at a Pearl Jam concert back in 1994, might lead to regrettable consequences.

I’m from Western Canada and while our experience is very very far from the rest of NA’s…(none of our shit came from Mexico) one thing that’s definitely changed over the last few decades is the knowledge base of cannabis growers in general.
There are more cannabis specific products such as nutrient blends, pest, and environmental controls. Off the shelf products you can order online that used to be custom made or end you up on a list.
People understand pruning, topping, and branch lining. This becomes especially apparent when you compare amateur growers to intermediate and medical grade growers.
Than there’s the genetics being improved through breeding. .

I smoked a little when it was illegal in my state but legal in others. I made brownies. I think the new week is just “take a hit or two” or even “share a joint with 3-4 people” and it’s fine. I love that my vapes are $30 legally and just last for months. Such a cheap drug now.

The first time I hit a cart after years of just flower, I had to just sit down for like half an hour before I could think thoughts.

A few months ago, the local dispensary was out of the vape I would normally buy, so I tried a new one instead. Took a hit, thought “Well, guess I’m going to bed right now, then,” and laid in bed. That thing hit me so hard, at one point I had to check the news on my phone to confirm whether there’d been another earthquake, or if I’d just ripped a massive fart and not realized.

Seems like the difference between a basic distillate and a live resin cart. Live resin is the better choice, but it’s usually more expensive.

Welcome to my thoughts after my (adult) stepson gave me one of the infused joints their biodad got them for Christmas.
…well, the day after I smoked it anyway. What I actually thought during was “Well, since I’m obviously going to die tonight the beanbag chair isn’t such a bad place to do it.”
Had a conversation with my stepson afterwards where they said they were smoking very infrequently due to how it impacted their anxiety. I said “Well yeah, you’re not smoking weed, you’re smoking joints that can’t actually kill you but try their damnedest anyway. I’ve had mushroom trips that were easier on the ol’ noggin.”

I’m on my third year of growing my own weed. This years harvest was people satellite from humbolt seeds. I use a dry herb vape and roughly consume 0.15g to 0.2g in a small canister. It’s almost too much. I’m a life long smoker and this shit is so strong I almost didn’t enjoy it sometimes.
