"The next day, a medical consultant at an edibles plant where I was conducting an interview mentioned that candy bars like that are supposed to be cut into 16 pieces for novices; but that recommendation hadn’t been on the label."
news at 11: uptight new yorker consumes too much cannabis. are you next? these stories and more.
I'm not a big supporter of the legalization movement but admittedly these days I'm on the fence. However, if this reporter had a point to make, it was all lost in her initial ignorance.
drunks are the most obnoxious people on the planet.. some of the most violent too..
They can be. I worked in many of bars and night clubs in the Cleveland area, and yes I saw my fair share of fights due to folks trying to flex their beer muscles.
At any rate, I'm not going to pretend that I didn't get one of those paranoid buzzes from weed in my time, because I'd be lying. However; I was younger, inexperienced, and quite frankly tried to smoke the whole joint like it was a marlboro. I was on vacation in Florida with my parents, and was 17 at the time. Having no tolerance to it, you just can't do that! Another time it happened was my senior year. We were at a friend's house and he broke out a bowl that looked like a corn-cob pipe. He warned me to only take about 2 hits. Again being young and still not having the tolerance, I was like "this ain't s***!" We were sitting on the floor, and he told me to get up, and walk down the hallway and back. It was like zap! I tweaked! I started turning pale, the heart started racing, I was shaking and thought I was going to vomit. I stepped out on the patio and being that it was the middle of winter and about 10 degrees I immediately felt better. Came back in, hit the warmth and felt like s***! At any rate, my friend told me to lay down on the couch, and just relax. He then proceeded to crank up Pink Floyd The Wall in surround sound (yeah baby, now we're feeling good). When the part with the helicopter came on, it sounded like the damn helicopter was landing on the roof of the house! In the first instance in Florida the feeling seemed to last forever, in fact it was a couple of hours. Whereas once I was on the couch, laying down listening to some chill music the feeling subsided, and it only lasted about 20 minutes to a half hour. Eventually, we left his house, and went to go get coffee at one of the late night diners, and while I was still buzzed, all was well. Now at my age, it just doesn't happen. I don't over do it, and tend to pace myself... 2 or 3 hits... maybe wait a couple hours, hit it again.
Maureen Dowd. I thought she had more sense than that.
