6. I like leary biscuits
Take a cracker and some butter or cheese and spread. Put about a bowls worth of bud on top of the butter or cheese. Microwave just long enough to get it bubbling. Once it starts to bubble count to ten and then stop the microwave. Cool and enjoy!

Let me warn you, this isn't a joke. Eating THC is a lot different than smoking it and it may get too intense for you. Try a pinch or a halfbowl before you go into full mode.

I always bring leary biscuits to the Broncos game..lol

8. I've tried it in brownies before, but your recipe is news to me
I remember being wasted for hours after eating it vs smoking it. Definitely a holiday weekend activity. :D

22. Oh I know eating THC is a vastly different experience from smoking it
I ate some brownies one evening and was still "under the influence" the next day at work. I HAD to stay at work to get my paycheck but I was puking in the restroom. My supervisor thought I had the flu, gave me my check early, sent me home, and told me to stay home the next day. The THC wore off 24-36 hours after I ate the brownies so I needed that extra day. :eyes:

And then there was the batch of THC granola we ate before going to an old Japanese Godzilla movie. That was a completely surreal experience. :crazy:

I don't do that stuff any more. Now I hate taking my Vicodin for pain and treasure the days I can be drug free. Getting old sucks.

and it does last a long time...

54. Last time I ate pot brownies I thought I was going to die!
I took two bites of a brownie, and there was a lot of pot in them.

My heart was beating so fast that I thought it would come out of my chest. Not only that, but I couldn't function and actually had hallucinations!!

The high lasted for about 4 or 5 hours...

9. Vaporizer?
I recently tried one and was um.. pleasently surprised. No smoke - just THC vapor. I feel my lungs will thank me one day. Other than that I prefer bong hits since the water will cool the smoke and filter at least some of the nasty from it. However there is something to also be said for a nice big fat joint as well. heheh... :smoke:

and quite high. LOL. The one my buddy got was the "Extreme Vaporizer" also known as the "Cyclone" and works great. Here are a couple good sites:

You can just smoke evverything in a joint. A bong hit is a nice change as well as a vape hit.

as drinking beer by punching a hole in the bottom the can.

They are the only environmentally sound choice. Less smoke wasted. Less weed wasted. They RAWK!

It has been nearly 30 years since I last did that, but I remember bong hits made part of my face numb. Or maybe it just went away, I forgot.

24. I liked blunts the best.
And I would rather smoke a joint than do a bong. Bowls were cool.

I no longer smoke the mj, though.

28. Back in my day........
:adjusts walker:

We didn't care about papers or fancy pipes. We crushed a beer can and poked a couple holes in the crease.

AND WE LIKED IT!!

We'd take a paper towel or TP roll and do the same.

AND WE LIKED IT!!

We'd walk 3 miles uphill, both ways, in blinding snow and stifling heat to score a $20 ounce.

AND WE LIKED IT!!

We'd bribe the local cops with a couple of joints.

AND THEY LIKED IT!!

You young whippersnappers (ganjasnappers?) sadly missed the fun times.
When uniformed cops openly toked at concerts. When tequila was confiscated
at the entrance to a concert and a ciggy pack full of joints was "overlooked".
Try that shit today. Sad how our 60's ideals somehow fell by the wayside.

Sorry about the rant. GAWD, I miss 1969-1978!!

:cry:

30. I remember when Alpine Valley Music Theater had a head shop in the concession stand
And once, I handed off somebody else's bong to a security guard in the aisle at a Foghat show so that he could pass it on to the other side. He did... after taking a hit.

"Gee our old LaSalle ran great....those were the days."

:smoke:

31. Last time I went to a concert was about 15 years since the time before
talk about times a changing. How was I supposed to know you don't light 'em and pass 'em anymore? Guy next to me looked so confused! I said "take a hit and pass it on, MAN" He didn't get it.:(

47. Even more sad. . .
It had been ages since I'd been to a concert (I think my last was a monster show with five bands--original Def Leppard, Judas Priest, the Scorps, AC/DC, and. . . ??) and went to one a couple years ago with my son. I couldn't figure out why in hell people were holding their cell phones up until it was explained to me that no one carries a lighter anymore. Honestly--a concert without that blue haze overhead just seems like something's missing. I'm allergic to cigarette smoke so it wasn't necessarily bad--just undeniable evidence there's been a generational shift I wasn't aware of. *sigh*

34. Those, indeed, were the days
:smoke:

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end.
We'd sing and dance forever and a day.
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose.
For we were young and sure to have our way.

Can't say we didn't try.

37. Oh yeah, the $20 ounces.
Sometimes we'd have a "session" where everyone would chip in a buck, we'd pick up an oz for 20, then we'd all go up into someone's room and nobody would leave the room until the oz was done. This was usually in the afternoon, then after going out for munchies we'd come back to go to a party and start in on the keg.

Those were the days.

42. :sigh:
So long ago, but, yet just yesterday.

To this day, I sometimes hold a tobacco cig as if it were a doobie.
Some day, before I exit this existence, I WILL slowly inhale the sweet
fire drawn extract of c. sativa. Until then, I gotta pee in a cup upon
demand from my employer. And I'll drink myself stupid. Go figure. :shrug:

43. Well now, I really do feel old...
I remember "lids"...4-finger bags selling for 10 bucks; stems and seeds included.

Back in the mid-70's a buddy of mine had this hookah, and we would put a full lid of (cleaned) pot in there and toke away with whoever stopped by.

I quit in the 80's, but had the pleasure of enjoying some of our excellent Humboldt-grown sinsemilla before I did.

However...a couple of years ago my boss turned me on to a nice purple-hair bud about the size of 1/2 my thumb; I made a carb out of tinfoil and tp tube, went out on the front porch, and took about 6 nice, fat hits...

And for the next 2 hours all I could think of was that this 53 year old father of two was gonna' have a pot-induced heart attack... :rofl:

My, it has grown in strength, and cost, over the years. :D

50. ...
:rofl:

I remember those $10 lids. Does anybody use that word anymore? Where did it originate, anyway? I totally know what you mean about the "newer" strength/effects. I rarely partake anymore - just can't handle blowing off that much time and unless I have had a fair amount of alcohol I tend to paranoia so it just isn't fun anymore. I wish the improved flavor could be turned into something less intoxicating because I can see nothing better than to go on a ride (horse) and recreate one of those iconic visions of a rider crouched on his heels, horse resting to his side, gorgeous sunset in the background and a stream of smoke rising from his hand rolled.

53. Looks like we're close to the same age.
I also quit in the '80s, 1987 to be exact, when I couldn't handle the strength of whatever the heck I smoked with a rock band at a barbecue. Then at my 40th birthday party I had a few hits for old times' sake. I can relate to what you said about your experience a couple of years ago: I don't think this 54 year old could handle it any more. It's probably a good think I don't really have the desire to get all f'd up these days. :rofl:

Not hash, but he got pulled over by a Texas state trooper for driving like a dipshit. :rofl: Said trooper noticed an ounce on the passenger seat, and told my friend to eat the entire ounce or get hauled in. My friend was sick for a couple of days, but he always said it was worth it.
