Viruses / Vaccines 2

bootlegger10

I've never had to take a test.  Luckily I've not felt bad at all to even think I may have had it.  A headache here or there but would probably be from caffeine withdrawal or sleep schedule getting out of whack.  I'm single though so no family to catch it from.  It is easy to socially distance at work.  I've gone to concerts and been on probably 10-15 flights so not living in a bubble by any means.

Wow, that blows my mind.  Almost every family I know has had it and lost family members to it.  I lost an uncle before the vax was out and probably couldn’t throw a rock in a crowd of people I know without hitting someone that has had it.  Most people that I know had non-severe cases, but several had it BAD.

It’s crazy when tou think about it.  My brother in law texted me last night that he knows someone who just tested positive and is triple vaxxed.  This is the 1st person he knows who got it…

It’s because of the CBDn not allowing the virus to attach to cells in you and your coworkers case

I’m a heavy cannabis user and their is studies that show it helps…who really knows.

I have been testing twice a week for work since November, and I have not yet tested positive. I am fully vaccinated (boosted), and I'm out among people nearly every day/night because of my kids' extracurriculars.

The moronic head coaches for my daughter's two hockey teams have both caught it. Not surprisingly, the one whose day job is to perpetuate New Jim Crow has caught it multiple times and said that last time it was in his kidneys. Her other team's head coach does not have a day job to perpetuate New Jim Crow, but his apparel makes it known that he certainly supports that effort.

And I'm pretty sure that one of my son's moronic hockey coaches caught it as well. I know his kid did.

Nearly all the other kids on all of my kids' teams combined have tested positive. My kids, who are vaccinated and mask up, have not.

My daughter's coach whose day job is to perpetuate the New Jim Crow finally noticed a few weeks ago that the only four kids that made it to practice we his maskers. Right, dude, and as head coach, if you had done any mitigation whatsoever, your team wouldn't have to forfeit games or show up with a pathetically short bench.

The winter baseball clinic has been much less irritating on the Covid front. That place ain't fucking around when it comes to masking. The same goes for my son's School of Rock location.

Hockey just attracts fucking ignoramuses, I guess.

What job is it to perpetuate new Jim Crow?

I'm a beginner; she's the expert.

We've definitely had some close calls, but have yet to test positive. Vaxxed & boosted.

I’ve seen the studies and they seem pretty strong at indicating a correlation with some marijuana/hemp compounds and reduced COVID-19 infection severity.  I think some take that as “if I smoke a lot of weed, I’m good” which is not the case.  Those that vaporize raw flower and orally consume it see the most benefits.

Haha, that's likely true for me.  

But in all seriousness, I'm mortified by your experience.  I have to believe it's so endemic to the culture where you live.  I'm in VA in a metro area and everyone wore masks from the start.  So I didn't know a lot of people who had it and (knock on wood) no one who died.  

HughFreakingDillon

it's only been the emergence of omicron that I've come to know people who have caught it. Mostly my wife's coworkers (she's essential). Up until around Christmas '21, didn't know a single person who had it.

Finally. Disney cruise will offer PCR testing, so getting back into Canada is now easier!!! Phew.

One less airport niggtmare-headache-stressful queue. Looks like a nicer end of trip home now!

So I'm not sure I understand you. Their coaches are the people meant to change the systemic racism or continue it, as teachers?

That is crazy. I know 30 people in the last month that have gotten it. 


No one in my family has gotten it yet. That goes with my wife's family too. 

When the pandemic hit I was working at a cannabis greenhouse, I was there for the 1st 7 months of the pandemic…none of my colleagues in my department tested positive…and there was no masking going on at the time…I know crazy …

I can see this though.  You may live slightly more remote than I do.  I am in NY and have 3 of the busiest airports in the US within 30 miles of me.  MAss transit and these really really tall building that house a whole lot of people.

When it first hit we got nailed and had friends in colorado asking "WTF is wrong w you people?  Nothing is going on out here!" Meanwhile we have morgues backed up and the cemetery's working double time to keep up.

I agree.  Add in that Toronto, New York and most big cities have multi generational families under one roof.  

A friend of my sisters son moved to rural Nova Scotia from Toronto.

Are you saying the coaches are cops, judges, prison guards, teachers?  I don't understand.

Rewrote with no references to New Jim Crow. Sorry a couple of you found that confusing—and it’s off topic anyway.

I’ve seen the studies and they seem pretty strong at indicating a correlation with some marijuana/hemp compounds and reduced COVID-19 infection severity.  I think some take that as “if I smoke a lot of weed, I’m good” which is not the case.  Those that vaporize raw flower and orally consume it see the most benefits.

I mostly vape now, I still enjoy a joint every once in a while.  I need high doses for edibles to an effect on me…

What is your definition of high dose?

I'm very lucky.  15 mg plus a meal puts me in a great place.  If I don't eat, it doesn't work.  I need the digestive tract moving.

I’m much higher than that…I start at about 100mg and go from there.  From my limited research and just talking to other cannabis users it sounds like everyone I’d different…

you mentioned your heart condition, I take it you don’t smoke or vape?  Or do you?  I’m a huge believer in cannabis..  but i wanna get to Vegas and try some of what you guys sell…probably better that what the legal market here has…

also in Ontario edibles are capped at 10mg…so I get mine on the black market…

I vape and also smoke on occasion.  

Vegas has good stuff but it can be expensive if you are too close to the strip.  Be sure you get off it into the suburbs or something for a better price.  Like they will charge $80 for a half gram cart. You can get a full gram for that price anywhere else in NV, CO and even WA.  I think CA is pretty expensive too.

VA is not cheap but that's because there is only one licensed store.  So it's $50 for 100 mg of edibles, $65 1/8th, $120 a quarter.  If I needed 100 mg for edibles that would be untenable.  Way too expensive. 

mrussel1

And the same on max size.  It used to be you could 25 mg candy, but it seems everything is limited to 10 now.  I think people struggled with it, eating 100 mg at once and being stoned for 3 days.

Do you vape raw flower or oils?  I don’t think the oils are that great for your lungs either.

Try Nature's Fire for capsules, Meltdown. They sell 250mg and 500mg ones that are pretty great. I'm very unlucky - at this point I start at 250 and if it's not enough I'll add another 250. For a flight, I'll take a 500mg before I walk into the airport and it's usually right on time.
