In response to this nonsense, as seen on /r/trees: Like most government propaganda, a lot of what Wikipedia calls “weasel words” and other techniques of stretching the truth and intimating things without actually lying 100% of the time, which would be too obvious. Actually, learning how these things are done — especially easy to do […]

My Secret Business Highdea
I used to work behind the counter at my grandfather’s candy store (this was a real NYC candy store in the 1950s) and I still remember how to make every kind of serious soft drink, including the infamous egg cream. In fact, I remember distinctly mixing Cokes. By hand. With syrup and seltzer. But wait, there’s […]
Stuff My Wife Told Me
During the Great Depression, a lot of people survived mentally by doing hobby stuff at home, and others survived physically by baking and cooking at home, which was obviously cheaper than going out to eat (not to mention that most people outside big cities had vegetable gardens and such). After WW2 there was money around […]
Lavender and Me
This whole thing happened because some guy thought his vaporizer might overheat, so I had to try it out for him. If you read one of my replies to him, you’ll see I took two careful hits. Well…wow. On weekends I switch strains to develop less of a tolerance, and this weekend I picked Lavender. […]
An Apostrophe About Brain Chemistry
So there are these cannabinoid receptor thingies in your brain, and when you smoke enough, they get clogged or tired out (conceptually, anyway) and you start developing a tolerance. Now here’s the interesting part. Before I started using MMJ, I had an almost constant “fogginess” in my head (there’s really not much of a better […]
It Was Just…An Experiment
So…I’ve been mostly vaping Sour Diesel lately, and maybe once a day alternating with Lemon Larry/OG Kush. I’ve also been trying out some of that Purple/OG Kush. Well, today I got back from some time outside, so as an experiment I mixed some of all three of them together. Then I put the mixture in […]
The Wonderful Little MFLB
I may never smoke pot again. What, are you crazy, Old Hippie? You worked and worried all this time to be able to smoke pot legally, and now you’re going to quit?!?!? Well, no. Actually, I’m just going to quit smoking it, because as we all know from cigarettes, smoking is bad for you. Even […]
Then And Now
I can already see that there are some totally new meanings for some words and phrases that I thought I understood many years ago. Term Used to Mean Now Means This Bud’s For You Beer commercial Have some of this nice weed One-Hit Wonder A band that just had one good song Damn, that shit […]
Old Hippie’s Levels of Consciousness Scale
On /r/trees, there’s a “highness scale” that people use to indicate how high they are. I love all the Ents at /r/trees, and Im’a let you finish, but that scale is not quite the most useful scale of all time, because it’s relative. I realize none of this is completely scientific, and that everything is […]
Tripping Balls, Whee!
OK, it is possible to get to tripping status with cannabis. It’s even possible to do this by smoking it, although it’s quite difficult to smoke that much, in general. The way to do that is to eat it. Not raw marijuana itself, but cooked into something edible containing oil or fat (and preferably yummy) […]
