[Nostalgia]

Just got "the call" off my dealer after a week of potlessness.

[Nostalgia]

Quite. I've experienced paranoia whilst smoking. Usually because I've smoked too much and/or mixed it with too much alcohol. If you experience negative effects then moderate your intake. Simples.

I'm pretty bad for paranoia. But as a sufferer of social phobia I'm almost constantly paranoid anyway. This is why I usually smoke on my own, or with a select few of very close mates. Alcohol and MDMA are for social situations. Pot is for my personal time.

Confusion and paranoia are attributes I like to try and avoid. I typically draw light and pace between hits till I get the 'Head change' effect I'm looking for.

Here's a pick of my new freshly ground product - Night night

[Keep It Real]

All I know is that in my experience it's the thickos who smoke the most pot. Sharpies have enough (or more than enough!) dopamine neurotransmission than they like.

Sharpies have enough than they like?

Because personal experience means generalizations are factual correct?

I disagree with pot smoking for many reasons, mainly I don't do any substance for the hopes of getting into an altered state of mind, and the taste of pot is nasty so there is no desire to smoke, inhale, ingest, etc. the stuff ever again, that does not mean that your statement is in anyway supported. One of my classmates from college who is now on his second year at medical school and on his way to being a neurosurgeon is a big smoker of recreational marijuana. To call him a thicko would be incredible devoid of any knowledge about him. Therefore my personal experience counters yours. So either we can provide citations for claims made or your opinion is worthless.

Then stop hanging out with so many thickos, it might make you more sharpie. That would make you less opinionated and judgmental.

Isn't a 'Sharpie' a felt tip pen?

Well, honestly, I don't know yet, they aren't open.

Yet...

[BlackBart]

Ah, ok. Well, I hope it's the latter - a well run Coffeehouse is a thing of joy.

Especially in the early morning. A big cup of coffee... a sweet sticky breakfast pastry... some purple haze.

SEATTLE — Surrounded by thousands of packages of marijuana, Seattle's top prosecutor sought some advice: Which one should he buy?

A new day, indeed.

Twenty months after voters legalized recreational cannabis for adults over 21, Washington state's first few licensed pot shops opened for business Tuesday, catering to hundreds of customers who lined up outside, thrilled to be part of the historic moment.

The pot being sold at four stores in Seattle, Bellingham, Prosser and Spokane was regulated, tested for impurities, heavily taxed and in short supply — such short supply that several other shops couldn't open because they had nothing to sell.

Pete Holmes, Seattle's elected city attorney and a main backer of the state's recreational marijuana law, said he wanted to be one of the first customers to demonstrate there are alternatives to the nation's failed drug war.

"This is a tectonic shift in public policy," he said. "You have to honor it. This is real. This is legal. This is a wonderful place to purchase marijuana where it's out of the shadows."

Dressed in a pinstripe suit, Holmes stood inside Seattle's first and, for now, only licensed pot shop, Cannabis City, south of downtown. The shop was sweltering. He fanned himself with a state-produced pamphlet titled "Marijuana Use in Washington State: An Adult Consumer's Guide."

Unsure what to buy, he asked the owner of the company that grew it, Nine Point Growth Industries of Bremerton, who recommended OG's Pearl. The strain tested at 21.5 percent THC, marijuana's main psychoactive compound.

The shop's 26-year-old twin salesmen, Andrew and Adam Powers, explained its benefits to Holmes: mainly, that the taste is not too "skunky" to turn off the occasional user.

Holmes noted it had been quite some time since he smoked pot. He paraphrased a line from the "South Park" cartoon series: "Remember, children, there's a time and place for everything. That place is college."

He spent $80 on 4 grams, including $20.57 in taxes.

“I bought 2-2 gram bags of OG pearl which was recommended. I’m keeping one bag for posterity and one for personal enjoyment at some point when it’s appropriate,” said Holmes.

Follow up. Ooops.

You'd think the city attorney would know better.

You'd think the city attorney would know better.

He actually seems like a good guy, though.
