I’m too lazy to Google this or to verify, but I think I read somewhere that the reason it’s referred to as “marijuana” and not its more scientific name of “cannabis” is because when they were trying to scandalize it, they picked the Spanish word to associate it with Mexicans.

Re: The Pot Thread
There's a lot of mythology and a lot of truth about the villainization or demonization of pot. But one of the ones that I know to be true is that Hearst used his "yellow journalism" and media empire to demonize it in the 30s. It was all about killing the hemp industry, which as at direct financial odds with the Hearst, Mellon and I think Du Pont empires. It really wasn't about "pot" as much as the paper vs. hemp industry. Hemp undercut the wood pulp production process, which is what those guys had built big chunks of their wealth on.

Re: The Pot Thread
Paper and cotton. And yes, they called it marijuana to make it sound scary and tie it to Mexicans. And the entire purpose of the War on Drugs was to strip voting rights away from groups that voted heavily Democratic. Lock up minorities and hippies for felony drug charges so they couldn't vote Dems. The GOP knew they couldn't win elections based on policies that hurt the majority of Americans, so they found ways to disenfranchise Dem voters and created bullshit issues to suck in the religious voters, gun nuts, etc...Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Thu Oct 06, 2022 5:05 pm There's a lot of mythology and a lot of truth about the villainization or demonization of pot.

Re: The Pot Thread
I don't believe the spanish/mexican name thing. Sounds apocryphal. FUCK YOU ALL, I've been drinking mamajuana all week which in no way is meant to prey on people who think it's some kind of illicit substance!
Hold on, I'm trying to see if Jack London ever gets this fire built or not.

Re: The Pot Thread
Maybe a week ago it would've, but I'm looking at that the same way Cameron Frye looks at art in the Chicago Art Museum.
Also, that looks like enough weed for several years.

Re: The Pot Thread
Thinking the same. What do you do with enough weed every season for the next 5? Do cali people just walk up and give you a handful of free weed?

Re: The Pot Thread
like home grown tomatoes around these parts.

Yes is the answer to that question. My buddy came down this summer and gave me 2 oz of 17 oz he grew of the sticky stuff.

He might want to check those tomatoes. They shouldn't be sticky.

So, I went to my friend's place and helped him trim buds for three hours. He gave me two jars of buds as I left. I don't smoke all that much, so this will last me a long time.

Re: The Pot Thread
It's amazing how zooted you get off of an 80 cent, 10 mg gummy. And it lasts for like 5-6 hours.
I was watching Red Zone during my trip and it just intensified the exciting plays. Each play was just SO INCREDIBLE in my head.
And each bite of food tasted like the best bite of food ever too.
But what it does do is give me racing thoughts which I wasn't exactly ready for, but the thoughts weren't bad, just constant and fast.
Overall, fun stuff.

In the old days, I used to get super paranoid and catatonic, like I couldn’t speak or function. I just haven’t felt that with the new products, which is great. Nothing like being at a party staring at nothing convinced everyone is making fun of you.

I had this vegan prickly pear stuff this most recent time. Really good flavor and kicked in pretty quick.

Looks like its a hybrid. You should go for their sativa (blood orange) and see if your brain explodes.Johnnie wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 1:12 pmI had this vegan prickly pear stuff this most recent time. Really good flavor and kicked in pretty quick.

Re: The Pot Thread
I've tried to get one of each (sativa/hybrid/indica) from the same brand just so I can see how they vary (if at all, in some cases). Good to set those baselines for what my limits are for cooking, parenting, staying awake, etc.
Re: The Pot Thread
What's an acceptable amount of times to get high in a week?
I was gonna have a gummy today but didn't and with the amount of time the trip lasts, there really is a cutoff to where if I do it too late it doesn't make sense.
Also, what does everyone store their stuff in? The bags they give you from the dispensaries that keep the smell in are really good, but something better is always preferred.

Yeah, just smoke. Hits you faster doesn't last nearly as long. THC oil is good too and doesn't smell but I prefer flower.
