my third up in smoke story, technically its my second timeline wise.. but who is counting?

I gave up alcohol years ago but never really bothered to do things drunk, jazz cabbage on the other hand caused many a "Up in Smoke due to Smoke" moment and eventually gave that up also my only vice now in cigarettes and coffee and I generally know when I've had too much coffee because soldering becomes impossible due to the jitters.
Yeah the devils lettuce is not something to play with here in Japan they take a very dim view of it and for a foreigner its almost a guaranteed cancelled visa and forced exit from the country.

Strangely it was the legalization here that eventually led me to quit.
Too much of a good thing and all, I was slowly turning into a vegetable.
 
Wrong thread post
Fair enough, we were just discussing what Wild Turkey (me) or the Devil's lettuce, (Thai Taffy) and why he stopped on the Devil Lettuce.
I just stopped drinking period about 3 months ago after 39 years of proving that as a Marine I can handle it.... Well developed Type 2 Diabetes and drinking beer drove up the A1C but swapping to Turkey lowered the A1C but drove up the Liver functions... So I am officially dry myself. Wonder if that means this is my last original post on Up in Smoke? Naaaa.. I can screw shit up sober as well :p
 
I'm not one for drinking heavily but I enjoy a beer or two (or sometimes three.. but I need to be careful as I'm a lightweight so things can go south fast) funny thing is, I've noticed that it almost seems like project fuel. Some of my more efficient, get-it-done moments were fueled by a couple beers beforehand and maybe another in the middle. Like I get hyper focused or something. I don't think that's how it is supposed to work. But I'm a bit crosswired anyway. I'll go drink a pot of coffee and go to sleep shortly after :sleep:

Wouldn't be surprised if they had a little time in detention. Seems like if they charge you it's 99% chance of conviction for any crime.

Meanwhile they just opened home grow here in NY, up to 6 mature plants per household and a qty limit of 5 lbs....

Confidence more than likely

I've never needed alcohol to screw shit up :) Being a squid and all you know that.

I've been dry for about 15 years, and I just screw up less shit because I can think and focus.

We grew a batch of the devil's lettuce in the basement when the first legalized it here....the result was almost 2 pounds of the stuff from 12 plants. We used less than an ounce and gave the rest away. And have been off it ever since.

HA, I used to play pool or darts best between 2 beers and 3. After that I couldn't play hardly at all.
 
A lot depends on the strain, a sativa like super sour diesel is good for wakey wakey and then an indica in the evening for nighty night.

Strain doesn't matter and method of ingestion doesn't matter - they all send me to the throne for an extended period with gut pains.

MJ is not without its side effects on some folks

Sorry to hear this. Doesn't give my wife any pain relief either which is a shame
 
I'm not much of a drinker either. I worked for a company based in Austria. They had beer taps in the company lunchroom and that's what you drank with lunch. After the first trip over there I learned I had to start drinking practice at least a week before I went over there or afternoons were very unproductive.

Has she tried CBD or a CBD distillate, I'm a fan of Tweedle Farms. I'm a firm believer in it (degenerative disk disease, I'm screwed when I get younger).
Once I cut out the Delta 9 from an everyday thing to a few times a year thing I felt much clearer day to day, especially putting together my second battery pack.

Back in my off campus living days we would shoot bow everyday in our back "yard", it was 50 yds from the sidewalk along the road to the furthest target (cops never bothered us which was awesome ), shot groupings would improve drastically between the 2nd and 3rd beer... Things got interesting after the 6th or 7th ...

Anymore I try to take care of my body, my first beer in months was a few weekends ago sighting in some new tools at a buddies range.

Hmm maybe I should pick up a good 6 pack after work tomorrow to help finish getting the next system online over the weekend, nah bad idea.

My brother gives it to his epileptic Boston Terrier not sure how well it works for the epilepsy but at least it calms the little turd down.

Maybe beer would help me decide where to place my next two strings as being sober hasn't helped, original idea was to place it at the start of the driveway but after two days of deciding that was best I actually took a look and there's way too many trees there and they will definitely get bigger.

Likely that's the problem with beer, as I said earlier it greatly boosts confidence which I think is a bigger issue that motor impairment, at least with myself I need a good few days to check if my good idea is actually a good idea and that's sober.
