You wouldn't want too many poor stoners like myself showing up at odd hours. I'd also eat all the munchies at your place.

...and set up a munchie budget as well...lol.

Yet again, the left coast will lead the way Tuesday night. They will show us the way on MJ and put Hillary over the top EV wise.

It's not the 80s anymore. It's 2016, get modern.

This is one of the best on the market. It costs 200 bucks, and it has a 10 year warranty.

My girlfriend and I did had a thriving business making hand painted ceramic roach holders and clips back in the day. Each was different and easy to just slip your smoke into the opening on one side and toke through the other side... no burnt finger tips!

I kept a couple of 'em as keepsakes, and I'm gonna find them, then I wanna be the oldest person in line!

...your roach clips". I was making a herb dryer and wanted to hang rosemary clippings and thought little metal clips would be cool to use.

But my 22 year old past self (almost 50) almost said roach clips...

Welcome aboard!

Truly an old hippie here. Still am. Peace and love.

I can't tell you how great it is to buy and smoke weed legally. No paranoia. Saves me from psych meds as it resolves my anxiety. It's funny all the different strains. It creates jobs and revenue. There's a bit of an argument where I live because you can smell that skunky smell quite a distance when plants are ready to harvest. Very fragrant!

I embrace all those states where it is on the ballot. It's the humane thing to do. I hope y'all pass it, everywhere!

Experience is up and running.

Bongs are good, I'd recommend glass as the way to go- get some rubbing alcohol and clean it regularly and you're good to go.

Vaping is also an excellent alternative. Easier on the lungs for sure. And once the retail shops are available you may find other options like oil concentrate vape units and cartridges which deliver a smoother, more discreet hit than vaping flower.

edibes are great, but there are a few things which everyone should consider when going that route. One is, you have to plan your evening a little more in advance. They can take up to 2 hours to take effect- as an added bonus, though, they do tend to last longer.

When dealing with edibles it is important to resist that urge that says "I dont feel anything, I better eat more". Seriously. Watch the clock, again, give it two hours. Legal edibles should have both THC and CBD content listed on the packaging. For people who arent regular pot smokers, ie have low tolerance, 5 mg THC is a good place to start. If you eat 10 you are definitely going to be feeling something. "Go slow- Try 5" was the oregon public service meme when they started rolling edibles out to the public, i think its good advice. And old school stoners such as myself - I only rarely indulge now that it's legal, ironically enough, but I'm way older- grew up only knowing about THC. But CBD is an important chemical and really has some great effects, not just pain relief but relaxation. If you are someone who gets anxious when really high, a good CBD/THC mix can turn that into a much more positive experience.

Remember how cool and modern that glass bong in the first video looks, after you drop it and smash it to pieces one hour after bringing it home.
You would have to compare vape to bong, a water vape would be cool though.
