I have smoked a lot of weed back in the day and I never heard any one say they were to high.
Go eat a 100mg chocolate bar and see if you still have the same opinion.o_O

lunkerslayer I am like you...addictive personality.

And maybe some self destructive tendancies also.

Went to a concert once where I indulged prior to, had 4 or 5 beers at the show, and ate a 600 mg bag of gummies.

The only thing that I did out of the ordinary that night was hung my button up shirt like a jacket on the coat rack when I got home.

I also dont think anyone should be demonizing weed when they have never tried it. They will be okay with alcohol and then demonize the reefer..thats very very hypocritical. I will get into conversarions with people about this and I have not heard one person that has tried it say it should be illegal but i would say 90% plus who havent tried it say it should remain illegal. I have tried weed 20 plus years ago and zero plans to do it again. I also enjoy a beer every now and then. I still do not think either should be illegal.

If you ate 600mg of gummies and didnt think you did anything out of the ordinary, you probably hung that shirt up in the wrong house...

I’m going to guess 100 mg of THC right off the bat all at once is going to get you WAY high!
Well guys are saying they can do 600mg without much issue so 100mg must not be much. I mean they sell them mostly in 100mg packages so you’re supposed to do it all correct?

Weed will be totally legal in the US in less than a decade. As it should be
I guess I disagree with that BUT, if it was made legal than i hope it would have major stipulations to it. Similar to alcohol. Cant be on it at a work place. Will need random drug tests everywhere, regularly. Can't operate machinery or drive etc. Has to only be done on own personal recreational time. MJ is a lot easier to disguise that alcohol. Both are proven to impair but one is fairly easy to hide. Without these regulations it could go sideways. Didn't they just discuss the vehicle accident rate in ohio? Something like 40-50% of vehicle deaths.....the driver aka killer had THC in system? Just my thoughts.

Its a fact that people are consuming less alcohol now then ever before might happen to be because of weed, i would rather see someone smoke a joint than drink a bottle of whiskey any day of the week.
One day me and a buddy decided to experiment with how high we could get, the ounce we got was some local home grown.

Nobody wants to see someone down a liter or 1.75 of whiskey in one setting. How often does that happen. Smoking weed vs ingesting gummies or concentrate -- big difference ---- the weed smokers smoke to eliminate that big crush they dont like gummies. I am not a user --- -my brother lives in Spokane he can put on a class on how all the THC things. This isnt your ditch or home grown weed. WA is a stinky place because of it and he despises what is going on.

Whats more important is people are not quitting drinking to smoke weed - i dont buy that at all. They are drinking less because they want to period. I look at my kids sure they hit the bars sometimes - but they have alot of other activities that do that do not include drinking (and no not pot smoking); I really see two worlds with kids now days.

Everyone talks about how much it smells.

Does anybody actually smoke flower anymore ? I’m sure a lot still do, but isn’t it mostly vaping now? That stuff smells kinda good! Doesn’t bother me the slightest bit.

Quit talking about me.

I once drank a 30 rack while setting up a tent in 97* heat. Mrs johnr had 2 of them, so it was actually 28. Never even felt the effects as I believe I was sweating it out faster than it could process.

Now a days a 9 pack will suffice for a 3 hour tour.

I thought THC stayed in the your system for 30 days or so…so did half of the population consume some in the last 30 days? Or were the drivers all over a certain THC limit meaning they were under the immediate influence? Reporters typically know little about statistics and correlations…
