Lately I’ve been drinking and don’t even get a buzz, let alone anything close to drunk. Usually 6-7 beers should have some effect on me. Could be a mental state thing. I like to drink while I cook, picked that up from my grandmother when I helped her cook as a kid. She favored 16 ounce beers.
The pot cookies are interesting. I’m in pain management for my back injury so I’d have to get something legit in case they piss test me and I have to 'splain if it shows up.

I ate a pot cookie by total accident in April and was freaking high as a kite until early afternoon the next work day. Last time I had pot or any recreational drug before this was in 1997. Some woman gave my wife leftover cookies made with pot oil. I go to the freezer for my frozen veggies and notice cookies there. I say to myself, “Hmm, frozen cookies? Strange. Never tried cookies cold. Let’s see.” So I eat one. That night I was pissed about something (did I ever tell you people I’m a moody dude? LOL). So I’m walking the dog pissed off, and then all of the sudden I have not a care in the world. I go home feeling great. I plop into bed and my wife comes home and says, “B, did you have one of those cookies?” I reply, “yeah, why?” She says, “Those were the pot cookies so-and-so gave us.” “No wonder I don’t give a shit about anything!”, I reply.

I went to Denver last winter, and had never tried pot cookies before. Ignoring the warnings about moderation in consumption, I consumed two whole gingerbread cookies like an idiot. It was a night I will never forget. I had hallucinations, and I can remember only being able to see something akin to what happens when an old Nintendo game froze and yielded. That won’t be happening again.
lol okay those made me chuckle.
Have not had a drink this month. Hard core dieting and down 20 pounds since Nov 2nd. But I really want a scotch in the evenings.
I have to agree with the degenerates;
I really enjoy the “feel” as liquor hits my system. How the warmth kind of spreads through your chest, and down your legs and into your feet.
Or how my upper back, neck and furrowed brow just kind of slowly relax. Sometimes I didn’t even know that shit was tight.
Whiskey is by far the best for this. Except for maybe Moonshine. Do you guys get down with the high, high proof stuff?
My gf and I have been drinking gin and Crystal Lite, watching our weights or whatever. Its whack. No physical buzz, I just get kinda drowsy. This thread has really reminded me what drinking is supposed to be like.
Eating pot is like plyo-metrics. The dosage is pretty important. You guys should try eating a little less.
Jah gave us weeds so we could stop being all irrationally pissed off and too mad to think straight. I love walking the dogs “medicated for anxiety,” and on the way forgetting to be pissed off at the jerk-offs from work, or irrate over my heat pump. The dogs like it too, because we walk way longer.
Sounds like some of you are reciting scenes from reefer madness, it’s marijuana not peyote…
I like to drink Guinness while watching football/sports on the weekends.

that’s my problem - I’m too into it. Every time I drink I end up shitfaced, so I need to pick my moments

Oh, I am.
But she works late most nights.

Get a second girl who works nights. You’re a smart guy, Pangy. You really should have thought of that yourself.

I’m just curious after talking to a mate of mine about it the other day. He mentioned he was trying to cut down his drinking, as it turns out he drinks 4 gin martinis every night after work. That struck me as quite a lot to drink on his own. I’ve another mate who’ll happily sit and drink his way through 12 beers over the course of an evening, starting from when he gets home from work until it’s time to go to bed.
I was curious what other people did because I NEVER drink alone. I think I’ve done it maybe 3 times in my life, and only ever gotten drunk solo once. I really don’t like it - end up shouting at the tv. I can’t understand someone like Beans who likes to get tanked on his own. Not saying it’s wrong or that he shouldn’t do it, just that I’d never be into it.
I hardly ever drink, personally, but when I do I like to get good and shitfaced. Only happens every few months though. Used to be a couple of times a weekend every weekend when I was young, but now I’m old and antisocial. If all my mates gave up drinking I’d never drink again.[/quote]
IC, gin, my personal favorite is the devil. Good gin or bad gin for that matter, is 90+ proof compared to whisky at 80 proof, and beer, well who cares about beer, it just makes me piss. Tell him to pick one day a week and don’t drink anything. Just making the commitment to himself for that might help get him back on track.
I had to figure out what triggered me wanting to shitfaced. Once I understood that I could control it instead of it controlling me. I will say the lack of desire to get wasted was almost uncomfortable in the beginning, but it eventually became my new normal.

If you overdose on marijuana, i.e., consumption of the drug well above and beyond a reasonable or recommended amount, it produces some rather bizarre side effects. I’m living anecdotal proof of this, by ignorance prior to experience. Consuming edibles is an entirely different ballgame.

These seems like a dare.
After fifteen years of talking with people who drank like I did I find these normal perspectives realy interesting.

I tried the daily drinking thing for 4 years and honestly, booze is a downer so it doesn’t really do it for me. Plus i don’t black out, I puke…
But the difference between my perspective and functional alcoholic is a daily choice.
