Show me your rig.... Dab rig that is!
- Thread starter Shipwreck
- Start date
Folks - A couple of you have written in along the idea of
"Nuke this thread"
and
"Just say no"
I "get it" having no interest myself, and this thread from left field is clearly not related to motorcycles or pretty much anything else going on in this forum. My first thought was to just delete the thread and move on.
But at the same time, Shipwreck posted this in the Lounge (enter at your own risk, sorta), it's not political, doesn't insult another member, and this drug is even legal where he lives. No small animals were harmed and he's not saying take a hit and then go ride.
So I guess we'll try to recognize it's a new day and at least for now, let this one roll. (yes, pun intended)

Nothing wrong with the weed. It’s a lot better for you than booze and it has a lot of benefits. I us a pipe to smoke mine and my doctor told me to try it for my restless leg syndrome and it’s a lot better than consuming pain killers.

I stopped many decades ago. Also stopped smoking cigarettes 11 yr ago so I would never inhale any smoke again ever. But I did try some chocolate edibles last year in Denver and although I would never purchase it I can't say I hated it. So my favorite THC rig would be my teeth. LOL

The biggest danger I've found relating to weed is the potential for dying of boredom when you're around a serious pothead who just won't shut up about how awesome it is. Kind of along the Seth Rogen/Kevin Smith lines. Then again, I get that way when a mega fan is talking about the Walking Dead. Other than that, weed should be just as legal as booze.
As for my favorite rig, I haven't done it in 35 years, so the last thing I would have used was the wooden handle off a file from woodshop. Damn, the 70's/80's were awesome.

LOL, absolutely. I went into the Army when I was 17, so pretty much after that I was straight edge. Mandatory urinalysis was all the rage during my time in the service.

I have a little hand held Davinci. It is great. and we have misc glass as well
A few years ago we were in CA and got introduced to BHO. The thing I remember the most is the noise of the torch. It just seemed soo loud. Been incognito my whole life so the obnoxious noise seemed to be a big red flag. Don't think I ever got used to it. But damn, love me some wax.

The flaw/danger I see from the pro pot crowd is that the espouse the multitude of health benefits it offers, but then also want to use it recreationally. If not careful, the drug companies will intervene by distilling the parts of marijuana that are beneficial (which they are starting to do), turning it into prescription drugs, then restrict it for personal use.
I can't think of any prescription drug that you can also legally use for pleasure.

Drug companies have done that for years. It's called Marinol. It's synthetic THC, prescribed to people for the effects of chemo and as an appetite stimulant for people with AIDS. it's been approved for use since 1992. They can patent Marinol and restrict its use, but they can't patent THC, any more than Coors can patent the formula for alcohol.
Why do you draw some sort of distinction between the use of a substance for pleasure and the use of a substance for its health benefits? The two aren't mutually exclusive. I like the taste of an apple, which you could certainly describe as pleasure, and an apple is also beneficial to me.
Marijuana laws are a lot like gun laws; an overreaction to a perceived threat. Marijuana laws have their foundation in racial bias against blacks. It was perceived as a "black drug", only present in the black community, and that it was dangerous because it could incite black people to commits acts of violence against whites. Much of the credit for marijuana legislation can be laid at the feet of William Randolph Hearst, and propaganda in his newspapers in the 1920's. It was categorized as a dangerous narcotic based simply on hysteria, long before anyone did any serious scientific studies on its effects, and even now, the remnants of that hysterical propaganda keep it on the schedule for the Controlled Substance Act. In fact, Marijuana continues to be listed as a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance, in spite of years of actual research, which classifies it as even more dangerous than Heroin. That's absurd, but it remains there because of years of propaganda.
The long term effects of marijauna, and the effects on society as a whole, are orders of magnitude less than the effects currently caused by alcohol abuse. Marijuana laws remain in effect for one main reason: that it's not socially acceptable to smoke weed because of the stigma of years of propaganda, but it's socially acceptable to get bombed on bourbon.

it may be legal in some states but still not legal in the federal law . your job has any connection with anything federal ( commercial drivers license as an example ) you can lose your job.... at one time in Texas you could get life for possession of not very much in amount..... crazy....
True family story:
I think it as my Dad's uncle and his family who decided to move from Ohio to Colorado. This was depression era and they took everything they could, including the family mule named John Jacob Astor.
Now John Jacob Astor had been everything you could want in a mule. He could work, was low maintenance, and easy to get along with UNTIL after they made their move. The mule just became more stubborn, would bite, and they figured between the life changes of moving and his getting older it was time to sell him so they did.
Not too long after, they saw John Jacob Astor again and he was back to his sweet old self. The new owner said that he'd been a pain at first but settled in quite well and he was glad to have John around. The thought of needlessly losing the mule puzzled the heck out of my relatives for a long time, till they talked at some point to an agricultural guy from the County government. Their property had a stubborn weed problem contaminating their crops. It turned out that the place had been used to grow hemp in WW1 to make rope, which later turned John Jacob Astor into a daily stoner.

I totally agree. My brother lost hist job with a fortune 100 company in colorado due to pot smoking... I get it though. Still need to be careful. I always say if what ever your poison starts interfering with your life or ability to keep a job its probably time to kick that habit. I dab MOST of my time after work and I still "adult" I just practically rebuilt my bike last night with a broken arm lol More on that to come...Madhatter said:
