Looking for high-quality low-dose and no sugar Gummies, any recommendations?
Pretty much every governor responded the same way more or less, Im not going to Monday morning quarterback him on a novel virus.schmellba99 said:Covid is all you need to knowCougar11 said:not to derail but I don't know why people don't like him same with Perry everyone hated him too,BBRex said:

You know what? We won WWII, Hitler lost, the system worked. I suppose we should just stop, for the rest of all known time, denigrating Hitler and the Nazis and just be satisfied that we won the war. Nothing else to gain or learn from the victory I suppose.Rattler12 said:

Jeebus...what a flat out stupid take you have on this.
And those words/phrases are the tripwire. Who is to decide what is "sufficiently responsible" or "within reason"? Very difficult question but should be viewed in the most constraining (to government, not the people) as possible.Rossticus said:
No different than the folks who enjoy a drink or three to wind down. Same principle, and it's everyone's right to determine how they govern their life as long as it's in a sufficiently responsible manner that it doesn't impede, within reason, on the life, liberty, and happiness of others. Simple as that.
I've only been able to find gummies around .375 - .4g of sugar per 1mg of THC. I'm still able to stay under 15g of sugar per day, but I would love some gummies with no sugar. If anyone finds any, let me know.samurai_science said:

I found some great ones in Gulf Shores, AL a couple weeks back when I was on vacation. They were 25mg each and I think less than 10g of sugar, and the entire 30 piece container was $36. Hell of a deal on the $ to THC ratio.
I am, because anybody with an nth of intelligence could have handled everything significantly better - especially when it came to things like shutting off access to state parks, beaches and other outdoor places. He didn't get my vote in the primary last time because of Covid and will never get my vote in a primary again because of Covid and his lack of being proactive and logical.Cougar11 said:Pretty much every governor responded the same way more or less, Im not going to Monday morning quarterback him on a novel virus.schmellba99 said:Covid is all you need to knowCougar11 said:not to derail but I don't know why people don't like him same with Perry everyone hated him too,BBRex said:

Plus he's a giant dork.
I understand the ease of gummies and that technically they can be easier to dose. That said, if I truly needed sugar-free THC, I'd just vaporize flower.
Spend the money on a good vaporizer and then just stick to THCA flower. No combustion, no smoke, no calories, no sugar, smell is way less than smoking it, and cheaper. Especially with the little "dosing" caps that can be packed with dry herb (aka ground up flower).
Anyway, "dry herb vaporizer" if you want to google it.

Dan Patrick and the sort who support him are what happens when we effectively outlaw bullying.
The hate Abbott gets over handling COVID is hilarious. Outside of DeSantis, in hindsight, no Gov really handled it well. He did a better job than most.
He picked this battle for one reason - $$$$$$$$$
That said, he's thankful for the evangelical rubes around to buy the garbage he was selling, some of which are on this thread

Yeah, I don't particularly like edibles/gummies because of the sugar and having to cut them into smaller pieces, so dry herb vape works well.
But there's a hemp vendor online that sells sugar free gummies called Hometown Hero, I think. 200MG for 60 bucks.

And really akin to saying "this turd is less ****ty than that turd, pick it up first".
He also waited until long after data showed that the stupidity of the social distancing and shutting down of public places and outdoors places was, in fact, stupid, before deciding to walk back the restrictions. After Desantis did it first, of course.
Ha. You are on another level sir. I'm sticking with the store bought emulsified stuff. Just thinking about my wife walking in on me during this extensive chemistry experiment would be entertaining though.
Texas was fully opened in March 2021. No state or local government was allowed to have Covid restrictions.schmellba99 said:That's not a high bar.DonHenley said:

Florida fully opened in May 2021 when DeSantis said local governments could not keep the shutdowns in place.
I give all governors a pass for March-May 2020. After that? Nope. So Abbott gets a D on Covid from me. But people keep rewriting history on DeSantis.

There are many non-users on this thread as well.

We are small government types. The vehemency stems from not wanting more government controls in our lives.

Dependency is a strong word. Sounds like people on here are using to cut back on alcohol at the end of the day. You make it sound like people are dependent on thc like alcohol, cocaine, Xanax, and opiates to get through every single moment of the day which I am not seeing.

Oh, good lord. Ban alcohol and see the wailing and gnashing of teeth from folks. Would you say that everyone who would be upset over a ban on alcohol has a dependency? Being upset at the inhibition of personal freedoms doesn't equate to an unnatural dependency on whatever is proposed to be restricted/outlawed.

Do you ever drop it undert the toungue for a minute or so? Is it normal for it to sting from alcohol? Does that work for you?
Big fan of the Green Dragon when it works.
God no! At least not with everclear. That might be more for the oil-based tinctures. I've done that before but not with alcohol-based, especially everclear. I tried it once and it took me about 200ms to realize it was a bad idea...
Yeah I do that too more than my fair share, but then you have the smell and having to step out to smoke during a movie or tv show, etc.Hagen95 said:
This seems like a lot of work. Can't you just roll a joint and smoke it?
Also, I really like alcohol, I love the novelty of it, mixing drinks, etc. Something about THC tinctures + mocktails scratches an itch for me and helps me drink (alcohol) less.

None of what he discussed outlined a logical case for banning of THC as opposed to enhanced oversight and regulation. It was just a bunch of logical fallacies to bolster "THC BAD" emotional fear mongering. Pathetic.
You have very carefully avoided comparing people's "dependence" on thc to people's dependence on alcohol. The easiest comparison to make, but not an easy one to defend if you're not a fan of THC, as you seem to be.one safe place said:I don't care how they live, and didn't suggest how they should live.

And shocked pikachu to find people defending thc consumption in a thread about blanket thc bans.
EDIT: Should have refreshed. This was replied to plenty.
Where's his entourage this time?

CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
I'm guessing that he's not going to get quite the level of outrage to that statement as he's hoping for. Even recreational use is roughly a 50/50 split amongst republicans (and that's mostly because people are worried we'll end up with a bunch of potheads smoking things up out in public). He really is out of touch.
I know he thinks thats a bad thing but I'd bet many if not most Texans would approve of legalizing it across the board.
He's behind the times.
I would agree. I also think that many who want it legal, but don't want us to end up like Cali where the place smells like a bong. I'm for legalization and taxing the hell out of it - like 50-100% sales tax. But I want it illegal to do it outside your own property or place of residence. I don't want to smell it non-stop.Rossticus said:

What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.
Hitler has been dead and gone for 80 years. Abbott vetoed the bill last night. I'd hate to see the comments on here today if he had not have vetoed it.......my TAKE on this is that some of you folks seem to get off on bellyaching about something all the time. Not to mention the number that tell those that disagree with them to go F themselves. Real mature behavior right there now. I can see why some of yall need a few gummies to calm you down.schmellba99 said:You know what? We won WWII, Hitler lost, the system worked.
