Let me put it to you this way:
I would rather slam my fingers in a car door than move to the South.

Can confirm. Am north, no centipedes in my clothes or roach eggs in my house.

Where do you live? I’d like to know so I can put that on my list of places to not go.

Ironically I do neither anymore, but thank you. You as well!

The main reason you would not smoke undried Cannabis is because it does not ignite. It certainly can be done though. Generally I would suggest using a vaporizer though in that instance. The other reason is that the drying process causes the further oxidation of the trichome heads which increases the ratio of CBN to THC leading to a more balanced effect.
fermenting sugars is not a chemical process, but a biological process
If you’re going to be pedantic, at least be accurate. It certainly is a chemical process. That process is facilitated by biological organisms, and would therefore more aptly be called a biochemical process I suppose. Anyways, as riveting as this exchange has been, I think I’ve made my points effectively. Hopefully I have been able to shed some light on some layman’s Cannabis science. If you have any further questions feel free to ask. Always happy to help educate 👍

Which still makes no fucking sense considering that you do not “make” Cannabis. It is naturally occurring plant-life. There is an ADDITIONAL chemical process that is necessary to turn fruit into alcohol. While that fermentation process can occur without human intervention, it is still an additional process that is not fundamentally necessary for Cannabis to become intoxicating…

Not all animals have the same type of endocannabinoid receptors as homosapiens. However, plenty of animals choose to consume Cannabis plants in nature where they are available, and have not been eradicated. I fail to see what any of this has to do with your initial point though. The process of drying Cannabis is not what “activates” THC. That process is called decarboxylation. I’m not aware of any animals that can get stoned simply by eating Cannabis before it has gone through the process of decarboxylation through heating. However, your initial statement was that Cannabis needed to go through some kind of specific process for it to produce THC in the same way that fruit must go through fermentation. This is simply not the case. The process of selective breeding is what has increased the THC content of Cannabis, but even wild Cannabis plants contain a myriad of different cannabinoid compounds.

I have personally grown, sold, and been around commercial Cannabis cultivation my entire adult life. We are gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.
- Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 2 months ago:
It’s also easier to make than cannabis.
You are aware that Cannabis is a plant, and therefore naturally occurring, yes? It was literally on the planet for hundreds of millions of years before modern homosapiens.

I think I am developing dementia from how much stupid bullshit has been involuntarily implanted in my brain over the last 8-ish years of politics in the United States. I honestly think I am dumber and more apathetic than I was before 2016, and that is scary because I actually do give a shit about the progression of our species.

I’m done arguing with you. You’re a lost cause. Go peddle your bullshit takes somewhere else.
- Comment on 'She had limited value': Seattle officer investigated over bodycam comments 9 months ago:
Again, that is a justification. It was representative of their lack of consideration for the loss of an innocent girls life at the hands of their department. You can employ whatever mental gymnastics you want, but they were laughing about her death. That is sick, deranged, sociopathic behavior. The fact you can’t see that is insane.
- Comment on 'She had limited value': Seattle officer investigated over bodycam comments 9 months ago:
I don’t know why you would even try to suggest something so fucking stupid.
You must clearly not be aware that a hallmark of someone who is sociopathic (and/or) psycopathic is the ability to be a social chameleon. So your point is actually even stupider than it looks at face value because these two degenerates were speaking honestly precisely BECAUSE they thought nobody would hear it.
Either way, this kind of behavior serves to denigrate the memory of this young woman who’s life was cut short because of the hubris, and immaturity of a fellow officer. Fuck you for even remotely attempting to justify this abhorrent behavior, and I honestly hope you are never in a position of power where your apologist attitude for this kind of subhuman behavior can infect the people around you.
- Comment on 'She had limited value': Seattle officer investigated over bodycam comments 9 months ago:
If there is any karmic justice in the world then this same callousness will be shown towards you in a way that hopefully makes you reconsider your stupidity. This goes beyond sardonic coping mechanisms, and sits squarely in the camp of sociopathic behavior.

Thanks, I appreciate that mate. I’ve watched a lot of Atheist Experience, Aron Ra, and other YouTube commentators over the years. With that I learned the importance of specificity and explanation of terms when forming a response or argument.
That’s what I personally respect and enjoy so I try to make that a part of my discourse whenever I can. It isn’t for everyone, and I have gotten called out for being overly verbose more times than I care to admit 😅
- Comment on How common is it for atheists to be against homosexuality/abortion? 10 months ago:
I think a better question would be:
How common is it for secular humanists to take a stance against access to abortion (and/or) equal rights under the law for people who identify as something other than heterosexual?
I think the atheist part of the question is a bit strange since it really only informs us about whether or not a person has a belief in a god or deity, where as secular humanism tells us a bit more (in theory) about the social ideology of an individual.
I personally hate equivocating atheism with anything else other than the god/supernatural/intelligent design question because it can further justify the slippery slope of lumping other topics in with atheism as though it is a prescriptive ideology like religion tends to be. However, I understand what you are going for by asking this question, and I don’t want to he overly pedantic.
To answer your question:
I think, as another poster already said, it probably matters if we are talking about people who self-identify as atheists vs. people who don’t believe in god/gods but don’t spend a lot of time thinking about their beliefs.
Generally I would venture to guess that in the first group there is a large majority who also self-identify as secular humanists, and probably take a more progressive stance on access to abortion as well as equal rights for all people regardless of sexuality/gender identity. I’m not sure I have ever met a self-identified secular humanist who took an oppositional position on either issue.
As far as people who do not self-identify as secular humanist, I would say it probably mirrors the support for the issues in a relatively similar way as the general population in their geographical area.

The turn based combat system that I really fell in love with, but that is now quite antiquated was the Knights of the Old Republic series. I would put these in the list of my top 5 favorite games of all time. I have played them both through many times, and they remain at the top of my list for favorite world building / lore additions from any IP. If there is any similarity between BG3 systems, and KOTOR then I imagine I will feel right at home!
- Comment on Every game developer company should be like this 10 months ago:
I’m generally not into turn based combat either. I think that’s why it didn’t immediately pique my interest even though I’m a die hard RPG nerd. Going to download once I have a free moment today, and I will report back!
- Comment on Every game developer company should be like this 10 months ago:
I will have to go watch more of the gameplay on YouTube. I’m not entirely sure what the addition of DND mechanics do to change the gameplay loop.

I kinda misses the isometric, point and click era of RPG’s because I grew up in an Apple household. So I played a lot of Warcraft 2 during that time period. Is Baldur’s Gate 3 going to be that same style of game kinda in the vein of Divinty Original Sin?
- Comment on Every game developer company should be like this 10 months ago:
I’ve never played a Baldur’s Gate game before, but I feel compelled to buy this one just to send a message to other developers that it pays to treat your fans with respect.
