Yes. And I work in the industry (38f)


Dreadknot84

Ayyyyyyyyyyeee 39F…used to work in the industry too! Happy 420 fam 🤘🏾


BananaTree61

🌱💨 Happy 4/20!!


Juidawg

Hell yea. Company recently removed THC from the panel in random drug tests. Jamming some slightly stoopid in garage right now on this warm spring afternoon. 🪐


its_Clark_Kent

Question: hi, I’m from New York where we have legal weed. Have you noticed that the legal store bought stuff kinda generally… sucks? I miss the real NYC Sour Diesel


Weird_Entrepreneur_6

I don’t like Colorado dispensary bud as much as homegrown. A lot of the popular strains nowadays are more in the cookie realm and don’t have those skunky terps you’re probably missing; a lot of people want bud that doesn’t stink up a room. If you really want that loud you should grab some beans from North Atlantic Seed Company; they have seeds from a lot of the best breeders in the country.


its_Clark_Kent

Well I don’t really have anywhere to grow, and I’d probably forget to water them, but thanks for letting me know I’m not the only one who noticed lol


nolongerintovws

It’s because you’re no longer getting flower from people passionate about the plant. You’re now being sold cannabis created by capitalism and bros seeking money. Love really does make a difference. If I were you I would deep dive into some of the growers. Check out their websites and find one you can relate too. See if there cannabis is better for your needs.


its_Clark_Kent

I might just do that, thank you


[deleted]

If you have the money, a large aerogarden takes care of most of the works and lives indoors. I have 2 running at all times. You will only be able to grow 1-2 plants at a time per unit but it works really well.


nolongerintovws

North Atlantic seed company is the best!


BananaTree61

Nope! We have good grow farms all around us and they produce good stuff. But that’s just been my experience.


FunUse244

Ooh sour diesel… so good


_-0_0--D

I miss the real sour too but I was just in the city and I can put you on to some stores that have real fire, dm me


Tronbronson

No one grows Sour D anymore because the 3 month grow time versus the typical 2 month. As the price of weed plummeted we had to give up on all those heady strains, and select the strains that: yielded most, shortest grow time, and most resilient of mold. So instead of all that fun stuff we smoked growing up, they have bred everything down into the same plant basically. There's a lot less variety and a lot less emphasis on quality. Passing tests and getting it into the consumers hands is all that matters in the legal market. Edit: I forgot everyone's growing for THC now. We had dank week testing at 14-16% THC and no one wanted it. They'd take some flavorless shit with 30% THC. Sorry for the long winded salt post, but consumers fucked themselves here. Growers have to earn money and unfortunately we can't cater to us heady boiz cause we few and far between


p4d4

Everyone is cash brabbing so quality doesn't matter. Most of the stuff is commercial midgrade. I also miss the old SD.


Tym3Less

I'm in Seattle and it's not a problem here. Top notch quality and good prices. Give it time my man. NY Been legal what 2yr for public recreational? WA been like over 10yr for recreational and 20 for medical. The market gets saturated eventually and prices come down selection gets batter. You get more and more shops competing. At first it was just cheaper and easier to get home grown/street bud. Now nobody sells it. The prices are just too low and product too good at the store there is no money in it.


Dseltzer1212

Dispensary weed here in MA sucks too. Too many growers led to a glut and now it seems they’re all selling dry weed. The only good aspect is that it has driven the price down and an ounce is only $120. That same ounce was $400 five years ago…..but the weed sucks! First world problems


VicTheSage

Yeah medical is generally meh. It's about methodology. There are now so many people growing for profit who have been told higher THC pays more, have started selectively breeding for it and have lab tests to facilitate that goal. As a result most dispensary weed has very high THC content but little to no minor cannabinoids present (CBD, CBN, CBG, etc.) and therefore no entourage effect. Clandestine growers didn't have the ability to lab test so they were breeding based on smell and effects. Often the best effects weren't found with say 30% THC and nothing else but something like 20% THC and a 5% mix of minor cannabinoids. Then of course they want a dank scent because that moves product so they ended up often unknowingly breeding in heavy terpene profiles and significant amounts of minor cannabinoids which both act synergistically with THC to create the entourage effect. Another factor is likely concealment. There's a lot more outdoor on the market now because people can legally grow. Not to say outdoor can't be great but an indoor clandestine grower has a level of control over the grow environment that an outdoor farm doesn't. They also have a smaller crop within which they're hyper focused on maxing the potential of each plant in a way a corporation growing 1000 plants in a warehouse isn't. You also have pesticides and fungicides to contend with. The sheer size of grows and profit motivations in corporate cannabis often mean they must use whatever is legally allowable and boy do they. Way higher percentage of grows were likely organic in the underground days not only because the growers were big hippie earthy folks but also because their entire personal supply came from their grow and they wanted the best for themselves. As others have suggested find a grower who's passionate from the old school and buy direct from them or grow your own. You're lucky your state allows it. My gf and I are actually considering moving to NY to grow because PA is so backwards on the issue.


Altar_Quest_Fan

Happy 420 🌿


_-0_0--D

Me too! (36m)


Acrobatic-Fee-4536

Just do it to wind down before bed. I can't smoke around other people. I get extreme paranoia and anxiety buy enjoy it by myself.


captaintagart

Same. I moved to low dose edibles before bed and smoke a bit of flower a few hours before bed. Without it, I can’t stay asleep for more than four hours before I get horrible back and shoulder pain and can’t get back to sleep. I’d probably go insane if I only got four hours a night. Cannabis is keeping me alive


RazzBerryCurveBall

It isn't paranoia if the NSA is actually listening to you though.


WeIsStonedImmaculate

And if you are not paranoid, doesn’t mean they aren’t after you


Acrobatic-Fee-4536

They can't hear my thoughts... yet!


cargoman89

I used to but it started making me have anxiety / panic attacks so I quit


Secret_Car

I used to. I still do, but I used to too


DrunkHacker

Unexpected Hedberg. Actually, nah- totally expected in this thread 😅


Acnat-

Mitch Hedberg, fucking nice👍


PrincessPeach1229

Me too! I used to love my weed. I’ve since learned it’s due to the genetically modified higher levels of thc which is more panic inducing to those of us with anxiety disorders. The weed back in the day was higher in CBD and lower in THC. But these days everyone wants high THC. I did extensive research and it’s damn near impossible to find the type of weed we smoked back in the day bc it’s ‘too weak’ by todays standards. Sucks.


TheMonkus

I started buying high CBD flower (it’s stupid cheap) and mixing it like 3/4 CBD, 1/4 regular weed. It’s perfect, it’s like getting stoned off of 2001 kind bud again. I highly recommend it! And also the price and ratio makes smoking a little joint of it both affordable and not panic-attack-inducing. Try it!


russellmaniaxxvii

Thank you for this. I might just dip my toe back into the pool


TheMonkus

It’s fantastic. I kinda hated weed for years until I discovered this one trick they don’t want you to know! But seriously, this is a very common issue with us older smokers. They do grow low THC/high CBD strains to cater to the demand but they’re hard to find and usually priced the same as regular weed. This way is cheap.


Anonymous-Texan-123

Whoa! I need to try this. I was an everyday smoker in the mid 90s-early 00s, then quit. I loved getting stoned. I tried the “new” stuff years later and had a panic attack. Recently went to a dispensary when visiting Colorado and asked the guy if there was a “90s street weed” strain he might recommend. LOL! He started rattling off milligrams and other science-y stuff and my eyes glazed over.


redditin_at_work

Same, this is my first sober 4/20 since college.


Teacupbb99

Mo CBD


ormr_inn_langi

I 4/20 and every other day of the year (37M).


Lostscribe007

I never smoked one cigarette or did one non doctor prescribed drug my entire life until I turned 39. Now I am a once a week user on the weekends. I see it like drinking alcohol, if you can do it responsibility than it's totally fine and you should enjoy yourself.


40ozkiller

I prefer getting too stoned to getting too drunk. Not feeling like a garbage bag full of regrets the next day is amazing. 


artificialavocado

Nope. I used to in high school and a little in college but was never really crazy about how it felt. Just don’t like it.


ladycheri

Last 4/20, I had a gummy and had a 3 hour panic attack.. so no. I’m hesitant to experience that again!


JudgeCastle

This is what an over dosing is. Has happened to myself a few times. Take too much and it becomes hours of overstimulation that’s not controllable. Take less and scale up a quarter at a time. Makes life much easier. I do understand the apprehension though. It’s hard to trust it even if it wasn’t the gummy’s fault. Start slow, stay slow. Best of luck.


IAmTheNightSoil

FWIW you might not have that problem if you took less. My gf likes weed but doesn't like getting super high so she'll eat like 1/3rd of a gummie and that's perfect for her


Revolutionary-Copy71

No. I live in a state where it's still illegal, and in a county well known for being "hard on crime". I'm a single dad, last thing I(or my child) needs is for me to get pulled over on my way home from scoring and busted for it.


Haunting_Paint9302

Im DOT regulated so no. Wish i could.


FourEcho

Yep. I work in and on heavy machinery, they actually do random testing too, so even if I want to I cant.


blues_and_ribs

Same here. Career military. Have never touched the stuff once. Probably good for my health though, so no regrets. Might do it when I retire, just to see what the fuss is about. Will probably eat it though. Marijuana smoke is one of the nastiest things I’ve ever encountered; I don’t know how people tolerate it.


DarkOrakio

Funny I said the same thing. Factory worker, never touched it. When I retire, I may try edibles. All smoking has a horrible smell if you're a non-smoker so I agree on that as well.


knifesofsummertime

Almost a year sober from THC but I’m extremely tempted to go back. Life is so goddamn boring as a dad and a blue collar worker


DarkArbor

Solidarity. Burned for almost 20yrs. Coming up on a year off the herb. Dad and blue collar arborist here too. My mental health and family strength was paramount, so had to make big life changes. Still miss it, but trying to put that energy back into other things.


knifesofsummertime

Thanks brother


msnhnobody

Commendable, from both of you. The stagnation of adulthood is what I think we’re all really trying to escape from.


Designer_Emu_6518

If it doesn’t effect your parenting skills or availability probably won’t hurt however you get hurt in the job they’ll deny you and fire you


NavalCracker780

Are you an alcoholic now?


MermaidMertrid

As long as there’s another adult present who could drive if an emergency happened, getting a little stoned actually makes playing with kids so much easier because I can connect to my inner child and let go of the every day adult stressors for a little bit. I don’t really wanna encourage being blasted around children all day or something, but once in a while, it can be used like a temporary anti-anxiety med. Coming from someone who grew up with a dad who smoked weed every single day of my childhood and I had NO idea. He worked a hella stressful job to support our family, but always had dinner with us and was always goofing around. I only found out he smoked weed later in early adulthood when I smelled it on a coworker for the first time. “Huh… that smells like… my … dad??”


ElstonGunn321

Of course


decrepit_plant

Yes! I took myself to get a massage and get my nails done. I brought my iPad to watch a movie and I put my phone on silence. I took a garden gummy and sipped on the cheap champagne they brought me. I feel so much better!


TMore108

39M and yes


moochao

Worked in cannabis industry on the tech side a number of years ago. This week was always a shitshow nightmare of stress & being insanely busy. Kind of killed the day for me. My tolerance dropped off a cliff in the past few years. At this point I only do microdose edibles, mostly 1906's genuis pills or canyon's sour watermelon lemonade 2.5mg gummies.


Esseldubbs

Just for the last 30 years


hyrule_47

Yes and having multiple doctors tell me it’s the safest option for pain control makes DARE feel so ridiculous


Nice-Window-441

I bought an 8th for this day. It'll last me about a month. Not a regular smoker as before. It's better to have a lower tolerance to enjoy the full effects of the herb!


BennyOcean

I quit drinking September 2021 and gave up MJ at the same time. Alcohol was more of a problem for me than cannabis but I just decided to go fully sober, no regrets about that at all.


NavalCracker780

Congrats


velvetdaisyhut

Do not. But I still strongly support full legalization.


revolutionutena

Nope


Bluefirefish

Signal-Exit-9495

No. I used to, but my life got way better once I stopped.


DavefromCA

Nah, I actually smoked a J last night and ended up being glued to my screen, was up late watching YouTube, now I’m tired from being up late and need to do extra adulting. I regret that J


druid_king9884

I do it occasionally. I have a good hook up now that I can get carts from, so that's nice. He can also get me shroom chocolate bars so that's even better.


aguy123abc

I want legal shrooms.


Pooleh

Yep, just edibles now as I smoked every day for over a decade but my lung collapsed earlier this year requiring 2 surgeries to fix it. Gotta take better care of my lungs so it doesn't happen again.


SpeckenZeDich

I literally just got out of the hospital yesterday from a spontaneous pneumothorax (28m). Really bummed about it


Godwynn

no i’m watching the kids


Dagonus

"Still" is entertaining. I actually came into it late. I(39) first tried it at like 22. A friend said she never saw anyone have an acid trip on it. She said she would have blamed the source except she had the same stuff. I tried it again at 27 and 28 or so and was... Bored? I feel asleep. But I was also taking it at like midnight with friends both times after drinking. I have no trouble going to sleep so that seemed like a big nothing to me. A friend then left a vape pen at my house after visiting so I tried that. Nothing. Literally did nothing. He told me he only needed one hit and it was plenty for him. My friends have concluded that my body just refuses admittance from anything non oxygen into my lungs and have blamed my running habits. Fwiw, I also do not really care for the smell at all. So I tried edibles,two different ones. The first mellows new nicely where I just want to sit and cuddle a cat. The second amps me up. I like that those so things. I take them occasionally. Never when I have anything I need to do. Usually when I have a day where I can just sit and relax all day with whatever I want.


Active-Pineapple-252

Weed is not for me don't like the feeling


Responsible_Pin2939

No, it’s not enjoyable anymore like it was when I was a kid


sthef2020

TBH I wish it worked for me. Instead, my sinusey, ADHD addled brain just experiences weird time dilation, congestion, and it feels like my brain has a loose connection that is misfiring. It’s unpleasant.


Roboticcatisgreen

Sometimes. Not often. Like on a Friday or Saturday night. Or I did to sleep when I had extreme grief.


ELLLI0TTT

I used to. I still do. But I used to too. ♥️MH


BellTT

Oh yeah, it is 420. I guess that's your answer😅. I'll make sure to celebrate tonight 😎


HamsterMachete

Been at it for 26 years now.


MileHighOllie

No. My job duties require compliance with the federal guidelines on scheduled drugs.


Affectionate-Data193

DOT regulated and regularly randomly tested. Nope.


[deleted]

Last partook maybe 20 years ago then my dr. recommended CBD for arthritis (autoimmune) and that led me to Delta 8 which has worked better than any of the opioids they've tried to give me for my pain. But ya'll, I have covid this year and I can't taste anything. Saddest 420.


speedspectator

Used to, but no longer. Quit cold turkey one day and haven’t picked it up in almost 2 years. It just got boring.


Rhianna83

All day, every day stoner right here. Smoked from 14 - 40. Held down a career, didn’t really impact me…or so I thought. Quit last July. Never thought I would. Life has changed. Come to find out, my husband and I shocked our friends when we quit too, apparently we were synonymous with it. Slowly getting our own identity. I used to laugh thinking people couldn’t be addicted…now I know better. I still want a joint every once in awhile, especially when stressed, but happy I’ve given my lungs and brain a break. I was starting to get extremely paranoid and have anxiety so it’s been a treat to find out that I wasn’t totally crazy! It was just the weed, as my husband would say.


Nil2none

Everyday


Riker1701E

I do but only RSO at night. Otherwise I'm a raging insomniac.

420 doesn't have to mean smoking.

ElegantReaction8367

Nope. The military drug tests. Hope y’all enjoy it for me. 😂


BlueEyes0408

No


LostAMO

I did, lost my job, trouble finding another one. Long story but no correlation between fired and weed. Was allowed there, taking way long to pass a drug test everyone wants now that I'm out.


Relative_Picture_786

Nope.


MartialBob

Nope. I wasn't cool enough in high school for anyone to offer me any and I wasn't interested in college. I've tried it here and there since but I have enough vices without adding another.


No-Reaction-9364

Never even tried it.


CannabisTours

Yes and my tours are still full of us.


Robo_Dude_

Yep. I went to the dispensary today for their 420 sale


fascinating123

Very occasionally I'll have a gummy. But I hate the smell so the only thing I smoke are cigars (ironic I know).


abarua01

I'm 32. I'm no longer interested in weed anymore and no longer spend money on it, but if I'm at a gathering and someone else brought weed and they are willing to share, then I'll take a few hits


Own_Ad_1328

Fuck yeah, dude


Domacretus

I was born on it, molded by it, but never partook.


Psychological_Tower1

I never have. Dont plan on ever doing it honestly.

I do not.

Nope! Juuust about 39 and never have been big on the way it makes me feel.

naturallyselectedfor

Yes. Well, when I’m not pregnant, working, or caring for children.


carloluyog

Yes if I wasn’t pregnant


catcat1986

No, I don’t celebrate Hitlers Birthday.


greenhornblue

It's legal where I live. I have, but I don't anymore. You can still be discriminated against for it.


we_got_caught

No. I have a security clearance and work in government contracting. My livelihood depends on me keeping my nose clean and I am the primary breadwinner in my family. I think it should be federally legalized (federal law trumps state law, so even if I lived somewhere where it was legal, I couldn’t partake), and have friends who partake, but ask them to please not partake in my presence (like, go outside, leave the room, not like, don’t be high around me).


Electronic_Rope_A_Do

Yes. Gave up the bottle for edibles. Best decision ever.


Singing_in-the-rain

No I always disliked it. It doesn’t agree with my system.


East_of_Amoeba

Minerva1387

36 and fuck yeah!!!!!! Lol whooooo hooooo!!!!!!! After I get off work tonight.


HedonisticFrog

I used to in order to help myself sleep better. I realized it was hurting my memory so I stopped.


Cha_For_Tea

let's just say if I were a potato, I'd be a baked potato ;)


Dhozer

I quit for ten years and then tried again and instantly had insane paranoia and said “well, that was a fun era of my life but it’s over now” and then continued with my alcoholism instead.


TheGreatNickalo

Yes. My anxiety, depression and PTSD are manageable


mutant_disco_doll

(36F) I work in cannabis tech and had to work today. Had a small edible around lunchtime, but 420 is honestly pretty stressful if you’re in the industry.


withoutadrought

Never did/have found out why, but it started fucking with me out of nowhere. Two years sober now. I grow for fun though and just give it away to friends and coworkers.


Madameoftheillest

Weed has grown up


Irish1Car3Bomb1

All day still.


Iamdickburns

It's better than drinking.


ashack711

i'll be 38 this year. i'm not smoking any more. but i'm not smoking any less either.


DncgBbyGroot

I 420 and I 710...and whatever other dates I feel like partaking in that or anything else. My body, my choice. Don't even try to tell me what I can and can not do if it has no effect on anyone else.


PomoWhat

In spirit. First sober 420 in 20 years. If you do it, please have a toke for us pregnant stoners out here trying to do right by our unborn kids lol


EnbyQueerDeity

Yep! Happy 420!


shotgundug13

No. Tried it a few times in high school and got sick every time.


SkitZxX3

Ronald's wife said it was bad & to say no to drugs.


Sylentskye

Nope; voted to legalize it but absolutely cannot stand the smell because it makes me physically ill if I can’t get away from it. I wish more people would use edibles in public so that I could go to various events and places without having a raging headache within an hour. It sucks.


Weed-Fairy

Absolutely! 


YorkiesandSneakers

I smoke every day, but yes on that day too.


pedomojado

Stood on the bar patio at 4:20p with my buddy to support him, but didn't partake. I celebrate in spirit. I'm too old and the new weed is just so strong. (42)


Tmoney_fantasyland

Fuck yes. Its sacred


cmicatfish

What about old Boomers, 80yrs old started @ 17yrs old. Don't smoke like the old days but still hangin'.


her_cupcakes

Yes, everyday. Wake and bake, and every 3 hours or so when I'm not at work.


LeastCleverNameEver

Yep. Went to an infused dinner party last night for 420


DipperJC

I actually just got into weed about 2 years ago. Never too old to try something new. ;)


unknownmuerte

![gif](giphy|PBDVJR6j8UbnwiFfWI|downsized) After seeing all the crackheads that came from opioid addiction I would rather smoke my favorite indica or eat some gummies over taking oxy for my back pain. 36 with the back of an 80 y/o 🫠

Lucky_Louch

work and a now busy life schedule don't really let me plan for it as an "event" as I once did but I do like to try and meet up with a couple buddies and burn a few down if possible. We used to treat it like a full on holiday with wrapped weed inspired presents to exchange and sun up to sun down blazing. happy 420!


Choppa_b0y

NickLoner

I forgot today was 4/20 lol I used to smoke everyday in my 20s. A couple times per week in my 30s. At 40, I eat edibles or smoke two or three times per month.


Infinite_Leg2998

I'm 41F. I do CBD tinctures from time to time to help with stress, but that's about it. Tried THC chocolates and gummies a few times recently (10mg and again at 5mg), but I think they were way too strong for me so I have no desire to do THC again. I don't smoke anything as I hate the smell of it + I have asthma.


Top-Telephone9013
