My trikes are starting to frost, but I am leaving Thursday for a 4 day fishing trip. Just gonna have to wait to choose till I get back cause I dont wajt to trim and leave them drying for 4 days unattended. Hopefully its not too long to wait

^^^its gonna stay mild here for the next week so you should be just fine.
Give them a good watering (no nutes) before you leave.

Crikey I love Sour Tsunami. From the taste to the effect it's just perfect. I take it in a distillate on a spoonful of honey. It really makes visiting my Mom in the memory care facility bearable and helps me stay mellow when she says crazy stuff that I can't reply to (you're not suppose to challenge or correct ppl with dementia as it just upsets them).

Anyhoo.... I highly recommend this strain for anyone who needs something to take the edge off. As an edible it's a nice slow burn throughtout the day that makes for a nice relaxed evening. Vaped it can get you pretty high and doesn't provide the same calming effect IMO.

^^^ That will keep you busy.

My girls are back in the Greenhouse full time. Some are in full flower and close to harvest 2 are about 2 weeks behind. This dome of high pressure looks stubborn so they will continue to be left to plump up.
About this time last year I lost 1/2 my crop to a below zero stint and early snow. So far, so good.

Unfortunately this company does some super strange things and makes some pretty bad decisions so I’m moving on. Employees there are only labor costs, not actually valued in any way shape or form. Spent a year there seeing if things would change but nope. Time to find something new to do with my time.

More power to you! Hope you find something!

Unfortunately all the bad thoughts are all streaming back in so I am probably going to disappear for a bit. I hate this motherfucking disease.

MG what year is it? I couldn't make it past the half way point. Too many false premises and manipulated data points to mention.

I've been seeing articles like this for a months yet at the same time I see the government is planning to reclassify cannabis to a lower level of harm.

None of this is news. The medical community has known about CHS and cannabis psychosis for years. They’d probably know more, but research into the effects of cannabis was squashed.

Some people don’t do well when ingesting certain substances. Nuts, eggs, lactose all come to mind. Cannabis seems to be another one. Regulators need to require better warnings. When I go to the dispo now I get these warning cards that sez cannabis can harm my unborne baby. The state can easily do better.

In the long run I don’t think there will be any recriminalization - The states are addicted to the tax revenue

“That means almost everybody that uses it every day is reporting problems with it,” said Dr. Wilson Compton,

Total BS

"The states are addicted to the tax revenue"

Just like alcohol, casinos and now sports gambling.

"Most people don't have problems, but here's a few thousands words of fear mongering."

Same as it ever was. Yeah, being baked all day every day is not healthy and bud tenders should not be able to dispense medical advice. What a concept.

This Huberman interview with Matthew Hill discusses all the same issues and more in a much more rigorous and intellectually honest fashion. Also gets pretty deep into how THC works at the mechanistic level and explanations for why THC can paradoxically both reduce and cause anxiety (lower doses inhibit excitatory neural pathways causing relaxation, high doses inhibit inhibitory neural pathways which takes the brakes off).

Yeah, circular logic since they include daily use in the diagnostic criteria for CUD.

Also, let's be honest here, kind of like nutrition and exercise most doctors don't know shit about drugs. Like nutrition and exercise we just assume that medical school includes rigorous training about these subjects, but that is absolutely not the case.

GlitterBomb and LemonCherryGelato both dried as far as I wanted to take it
Stretched out to 4DAYS
The 3 containers are sitting at68- 72% rh right now

pretty good for high desert here where the outside rH has been like 12% sometimes down to 9%
Nighttime humidity here outside has been 30-40%
Terps are so good so far on the 2 strains curing

More than 6 percent of adults in the U.S. have an alcohol use disorder, about 1 in 12 men and 1 in 25 women

Weed is schedule 1. Schedule 1 drugs have a tremendous amount of red tape to go thru in order for studies to occur. And even then, what weed are they getting for the study?

The schedule 1 thing is horseshit and everyone that knows this history of how and why it is schedule 1 understands.

Weed can be mentally addictive but I've yet to see a study saying it's physically addictive. Maybe it is or could be, but certainly not like every other sched 1 drug.

It is a natural drug. Key word there...drug. Moderation is key. Maybe not at all for some. But the onus is on you. Alcohol, weed, ice cream, and whatever else you can name, it's on the individual.

I don't have SpotiRogan, but if it's the older one I've listened to it and many things said on that episode were debunked by peers with more specific knowledge on the subject.

Again, enough studies have not been done because of the sched 1 classification. Extremely frustrating on many levels. We should know more by now.

I'd be monitoring and burping those at least twice a day if it's as high as 72%. That's just a touch outside of my comfort zone.

People on this very forum have reported physical withdrawal symptoms. It takes really heavy use but it definitely happens.

We need to dispense with whole idea of natural drugs being inherently safer (naturalistic fallacy). Cocaine is natural, cyanide is natural.

No, this one is from a couple of months ago. The guest is a bona fide cannabis researcher from Canada who was on the show because he challenged Huberman on SM about many of the facts presented in his original cannabis episode.
