    Oh so that's what you were referring to by saying Purple Willie, I had no idea. I thought you were talking about a woman's big joy making stick.

    Legalization is cutting into the Cartels' profits and it seems like the DEA isn't liking it. Maybe the DEA just doesn't like it because they want job security, but their cozy relationship with Sinaloa is suspicion inducing for sure.

    Darkness is proper, bright light just harshes!

    We caught some of it yesterday (I think it was 3; there's been a series) and I believe it's on again this evening. I hope it educates a lot of people who may have preconceptions about it.

    I will always say alcohol, for all the reasons already mentioned in this thread.
    That said, I had my first bad weed experience yesterday. Okay, I did smoke one hit of strange stuff that was supposed to be THC butter - $2 a hit (called a "dab") - and while my friend seemed okay, I was absolutely fucked up. I felt like I'd dropped acid but worse. It was horrifying, lol. I actually wondered if I was having a stroke for a while - my whole face lost all feeling. :( So I can't say that that particular toke was safer than alcohol, hahaha. That was some crazy shit that I wasn't prepared for. I've been doing weed for 26 years, and I have NEVER had anything like that. I thought I might have to visit the first aid tent. I have never thought about visiting a first aid tent while drinking! All that said, alcohol is still way more dangerous that weed, for your health and for society. And THAT said, prohibition doesn't work. Period.

    Why, on earth, did you smoke Butter?? Butter is used for baked goods!

    I'm sure it wasn't actually butter, but rather "budder".

    I'm pretty much a daily bud smoker (evenings after work), but I don't mess with concentrates. I can't hang!

    Yeah I tend to be a purist when it comes to weed I do have my best friend send me cookies which are really good not super strong just right , but nothing can take the place of me rolling a joint and sparking it up ...

    Lol, yes, budder, thank you. ;)
    I smoke it once in a while (even bought some along with a vapo pen at the weed market yesterday), and yes, it gets you fucking high as hell on a normal day, but that stuff I smoked yesterday was outrageous. Kind of made me wonder if there wasn't something else in it. Maybe I got pot-roofied. :lol:

    Pot-roofied! :open_mouth: Yeah, I've done dabs, but it isn't for me. My wife smokes more weed than Cheech AND Chong combined and she has had a couple of panic moments with concentrates. Once she even told me that she was going to do a dab and to not let her call 911. :rofl: She was kidding, but she knows that the panic or paranoia might hit her initially. Usually lasts only a few minutes, and then she just enjoys being super-ripped. But she will only rarely dab. Like I said, that isn't for me. I just like a little relaxing buzz, or occasionally to really get baked, and the bud does that just fine.

    :rofl: at your wife asking you to not let her call 911. :lol:
    Well I'm not writing the budder off just because of one bad experience, but that is probably the last time I let total strangers at the 420 event prepare a hit for me. :tongue:

    Thanks for clearing this up. I'm a big fan of baked goods and made chocolate chip cookies yesterday.

    Gotta be careful! Years ago someone laced a joint with PCP, unbeknownst to my sister.

    So...I guess that old commercial saying "a dab'll do ya" is still accurate :whistle:

    Sure it wasn't heat stroke, PJ_S? That seems to be the consensus in the fb comments on this story:
    http://bc.ctvnews.ca/vancouver-hospital-flooded-by-4-20-marijuana-revelers-64-treated-1.2336761
    Some are thinking there was bacteria in the edibles...but you said it was vaped, so....
    crazy either way. Looks like jeffbr could have saved your healthcare system a few grand in treating panic attacks with gravol :lol:
    side note: really not a fan of 4/20 rallies anymore. Not sure if I've just outgrown them or what, but it seems so....cliché, I guess, now that it's becoming more acceptable. People use it as a way to point fingers at the stereotypes. Not that I really give a fuck, but I haven't been to one in years and don't really miss it.
    edit: actually....reading more about this particular rally...I'd be down. I'd go if there were actual vendors and not just drum and hackey sack circles, and the juicy fruit guitar guy.
