D9 gets you high. D8 isn't nearly as potent.
D8 is about as strong as the Mexican schwag from the '90s. You know the stuff. It would come across the border bricked up in the shape of a tire.

I'm a big time supporter of Dan Patrick... I am not sure why he picked this battle to put at the top of his list. Very strange crusade.
Because he was given over $250k by pharmaceutical and liquor lobbies.

In what form and dosage do you take.

My sleep habits are horrible and I had never considered THC for sleep help.

Abbott vetoed the bill and the supporters of THC got what they wanted. The system worked. Why the continued non stop negativity and name calling by posters? You won. Can you not be satisfied with the win? I swear some of yall would bitz if you were given a million bucks just because it was all in $1 bills....
Once again, we appreciate your input to this thread Mr.Abbott. While we are cautiously optimistic about your veto, sorry not sorry people still think you suck

Worth reposting:



That's why.

Now would probably be a good time to stop being a big time supporter of Dan Patrick.

5mg is a good start if you're a normal sized guy.

I'd start with a THC seltzer. Those are 2.5mg-5mg usually. That way as you're sipping on it you can gauge your response.

You'll want one that uses an Indica strain if it is mentioned.

Order from Hometown Hero. Start with 10mg and cut it in half. Takes a bit to take effect, so don't just start taking more because you aren't feeling any effect

It can often be 2 hours before it reaches full effect.

Yeah, first time just stick with the 5 and see how the whole stretch goes. Maybe even do it a couple of times at 5 to see if maybe you react a bit more/less the next time.

And yes, for sleep, as mentioned above, indica is what you're looking for

The THC seltzers have replaced my evening beers/bourbons a couple nights a week. Been a pleasant little change of pace with those.

Nowadays has a Spicy Lime that tastes a little like a spicy margarita available at Total Wine.

This was my suggestion last week to my Mom who wants to cut back her alcohol intake quite a bit. She tried a 5mg seltzer and it was a bit too strong for her. 2.5mg would be ideal with someone with no tolerance, and go from there.

Both my parents were nightly drinkers, and my Dad drank a ton… I can now say THC and hemp is now helping BOTH my parents be healthier.

Where do yall buy your seltzers? I've been getting them at Total Wine but they are pretty crazy expensive. I think they are the Cann brand.

Yeah I'd start at 2.5 mg 1 1/2 to 2 hrs before for sleeping. 5 might be too much.

I have seen it trigger some psychotic breaks. Had an acquaintance have schizophrenic like symptoms after prolong significant use: Have also seen subsequent studies linking it to schizo like symptoms, so I do know that there is some pretty substantial psychotic effects.

That being said, it is not pre slants and you should be using anything in moderation. Alcohol is poison and can poison you in higher rates. In general I'm completely convinced thc is better in moderation.

Not to mention personal experience. I can have 15-20mg of thc drinks over the course of two hours and feel buzzed and great, and I don't feel any negative impact the next day, unlike alcohol. Not to mention it's about 50 total calories compared to the 1000 it would take in alcohol to get me to the same place….

He waited until nearly the last minute (I guess 30 minutes) to see who would win the political power play. He's known for a long time now how unpopular this bill is and could have vetoed before. He's just indecisive and I suspect wanted to see how it would play for him politically rather than giving the people he represents what they want and the freedom they are entitled to.

Has the expansion of thc products caused less alcohol use and less alcohol related incidents?
from another forum discussing this topic:

I have worked with companies that, while not directly involved in alcohol, profited off it; one was a glass recycler. They showed me hard data that in legal weed states, their business dropped like a rock. It was pretty interesting to see.

if that were the case, schiizo would rise across the country as the amount of people starting to use as its been legalized over the last 10 to 15 years. It's not, but I see the reefer madness ghost is still out there.

Start with a 2.5mg gummy. For someone new to this with no tolerance built up, this should absolutely help with getting a good full night of deep sleep.

Thanks. I'll see if I can find this. 34 bucks for 101mg is much more reasonable than the cans I was buying.

    He partnered with Washington Ho and Bayou City Hemp for HoBuzz but it was short-lived. Don't think he has actually owned any beverage companies that did THC drinks.

    I'm not sure how Dan Patrick survives this. Abbott just wiped his ass with Patrick's entire political career and de-pantsed him in front of the entire country. And now, he is universally hated by both sides. He's going to get annihilated in the next primary. No idea how he thought this was a good play.
