When did you first try weed? - Hap E. Berf-Day
One time in eighth grade, a kid who’d just gotten back from boarding school and I snuck off to smoke a joint during lunch. I forgot I had a math test after lunch, and I failed miserably. My teacher and I were both disappointed. I tried it one other time in eighth grade, but my mom busted me. I wasn’t grounded; she just explained that weed, like drinking and other drugs, is for adults. Then she called my dad. He said the same thing. If my parents agree on something, it must be true, so I didn’t smoke again until college. I didn’t smoke every day until I joined the workforce.
Your question leads me to this point: Legalizing marijuana and treating it like any other social drug (alcohol, caffeine, sugar) doesn’t lead to increased use by children. In fact, a report from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows that marijuana use among Colorado teens has decreased since pot legalization. Duh. Making cannabis more available to adults doesn’t make it easier for (or more desirable) for teenagers. In fact, it removes the allure. Education, not prohibition, is the best way to deal with drugs and drug use.
Best strain you’ve found for movie watching, and why? - Cyn E. Phile
Weed and movies go together like, weed and movies. I prefer a good hybrid. You don’t get all amped up on sativas while you are trying to sit still and pay attention, but you don’t want to to fall asleep under a heavy indica. Blue Dream is a good choice. If you are looking for a list of good movies to watch while stoned, check out Reefer Movie Madness: The Ultimate Stoner Film Guide by Shirley Halperin and Steve Bloom. It’s awesome. I called to check with Bloom, and his favorite movie-watching strain is Blue Dream, so now I feel like a genius. Enjoy your movie.
Going to get some concentrates for the first time. What would you suggest? - Kiefer Dabberman
Live resin is delicious, but it has a short shelf life. I like the classics like a good cold water hash. Frenchy Cannoli and Dank Duchess make really good concentrates. Look for a clean pesticide test: Cannabis concentrates are in fact concentrated cannabis, so if the cannabis used to make the hash is full of pesticides, the hash will have have elevated pesticide levels.
