 According to Global News, U.S. border officials are able to look at your credit card transactions, which means they would be able to see if you had purchased cannabis recently.

Obviously, the thing to do is lie. Americans listen to so many lies from their dear leader, they must be desensitized by now.

 

I just wouldn't show up carrying a snowboard....

What kind of affordable vape pens are out there? Do all use dried weed? Or can you buy oil to use in the vape pen?

I think there is a sub-reddit for vaporizers, just google it. Personally I have a fury 2, I mostly just use it for dry herb but it does come with a way to load oil and wax as well. I would invest in a decent vape, if you skimp out and buy a model that you become dissatisfied with, you are just going to end up spending even more money on an upgrade.

You can get ones for oil, wax, herb or that do both but generally you're better sticking to one or the other.

 

I recommend the jump as a good affordable solution if you're going to stick with herb for occasional use.

Another little piece of advice, like any electronic device, you will get what you pay for.

Some of the cheaper pens the battery life starts to drain on them, they are harder to clean and get bunged up after a while, some vape pens you cannot use even while plugged in and charging which can be a pain.

 

I ended up spending a little over my budget on a vape, but I wanted bang for the buck and i'm a medicinal user so I was wanting efficiency.

 

This is the unit I use:

but they do have smaller models. Arizer ships from Canada, too.

So the place I got mine from closed up shop.  They told me to try online, so I placed an order and it's a $30 to deliver to White Rock?  What a ripoff, are there any places still open or offer free shipping?  I ship at work and we ship skids for that amount, straight up rip off.  Even shipping with Canada Post is $25, there is no way it is that much.  DM me if need be because I really need to find a cheaper way. 

 

These sites are a pain to register as they all need photo Id and my  driver license has expired last week. 

 

Such a pain, at this point I rather just getting it off my old dealer if he was still around.

Psilocybin for the Masses: Oregon Considering Legalizing Mushrooms

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/psychedelic-psilocybin-legalizing-mushrooms-oregon-763032/

 

Didn't want to start a new thread. Glad the stigma is getting cleared away about some of these type of drugs. They are getting remarkable results.

 

Years ago a man I consider a friend had to spend some time in the UBC Psych ward. He has battled with Bi-Polar his entire life. He is also brilliant. Well before any of this research and discussion ( 6 years ago) was hitting the main stream, he was talking to me about it. He was so angry that the Dr's out at UBC wouldn't listen to him as he tried to explain to them that this is part of the field they should look at. He told me what he understands about how the brain works. He wasn't looking to get high, he didn't know if this was something for him. He just wanted to know what level of understanding these doctors were at. In his state, he just thought they don't care and are not trying to learn anything!  I type that stuff because I didn't believe him, I didn't listen. I lectured him, told him he doesn't have degree and they know more than him. I told him he was ridiculous.

I was wrong. I don't know where he has ended up.  I am sorry CM.

Yeah, mushrooms can be dangerous for individuals with a history of psychotic illness.

I don't agree with any self medicating if that's what you mean.

 

Mental illnesses are being treated with psychedelics though. Seems to be different ones for different issues. https://www.livescience.com/63310-psychedelic-drugs-mental-health-disorders.html

 

Ketamine is being used for Bi-polar,  or some are micro dosing LSD or Psilocybin.

Here's a story of a guy that micro does Psilocybin and Cannabis ( self medicated though!...but a few years back, so maybe he can be forgiven..maybe he should inquire about Ketamine)

https://maps.org/research-archive/psilo/Cannabis-and-Psilocybin-for-Bipolar-Disorder.pdf

 

As the good HerrDrFunk pointed out PTSD...and some other conditions are using Psilocybin.

 

Another article on psychedelics and mental health. 

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-44575139

 

@aGENT...thanks man, I will watch that. I saw the DMT film by Joe Rogan a while back, really enjoyed it. 

 

Ok, Ill leave this thread alone, It's supposed to be just about weed

I love whoever idea it was to deny Americans coming into Canada who admit to owning a firearm.  Too bad it'll never happen.

That's not really fair. If an American smokes weed in Colorado, does that mean they can't cross state lines?

Cannabis and driving study casts doubt on zero-tolerance limits for THC

 

https://globalnews.ca/news/6245267/cannabis-and-driving-study-thc/

 

I try not to complain too much about legalisation. Because, well it's now legal and those of us that partake are no longer considered criminals. 

 

Unfortunately, the roll out has been clunky, ignorant and just strange. From accessibility, price, packaging and quality...the powers that be have done a very poor job.

 

This article outlines another problem. 

It cannot be zero tolerance for THC. It stays in the blood stream for a long time. You might be busted for a DUI, even if you smoked yesterday...well after the effects have worn off.

I can't imagine we'll see things like especially 'harder' drugs legalized but I'd be happy to see their usage decriminalized like in Portugal and treated like the medical issue they are.

Ya, but the production would have to be taken care of as well.   Getting the production out of the hands of the cartels or terrorists organizations should be job one.  Also would result in "cleaner" and more consistent product.  God knows what the hell was used to cut the drugs or how much the drugs were cut.  So many overdoses would be prevented.

I'd expect crime and addictions to actually decrease if psilocybin was legalized, among other positive benefits. As long as people are properly educated and it's regulated well, it would definitely be a positive.
It was technically legal in the UK for about 2 years and sold in the high street shops.
Crime didn`t increase deaths did not increase Intoxication with driving did not increase. No one became addicted no one became heroin addicts because of it.
Pretty much it had zero negative effect on society, the government just decided they where deadly possessions and changed the law. I'm in a medical state (CA) and progress has been slower than I'd expect in a recreational state. I have possessed a medicinal card for the past 2 years, and have interned in industry for the same period of time. Most employers will do drug screenings every so often, and since cannabis is still federally illegal there is still ground for termination, even if it is legal statewide. So maybe that might help https://dr-weedy.com/how-to-get-weed-out-of-your-system/ I took my first puff at 20. I'm 39 now and smoke when I want to relax without having a drink (that would be a few times a week, trying to reduce the alcohol consumption).  Alcohol is unquestionably more destructive on a social and physiological level yet it is legal. In either case, we should be free to destroy our bodies if we so desire. The law has no business enforcing health standards; it should only allow people to be aware of the decisions they are making, not make those decisions for them.
