Weed.

Media outlets are hyping a new, questionable study alleging that cannabis may offset the effectiveness of certain prescription medications. See NORML's rebuttal to these claims below:

Armentano questioned how powerful these interactions could be, given how long marijuana has been used both recreationally and medicinally.

"Adults — and patients in particular — have been consuming cannabinoids medicinally for centuries, and this practice has become quite commonplace over the past few decades," Armentano said. "Many of these patients are older and many of them may also be prescribed other medications. Were cannabinoids to be significantly contraindicated among this population, one would presume that there would be ample empirical evidence already available substantiating this concern."

When I was a teenager I made a bong out of black PVC. I used a hockey puck for a base. I centered the pipe on the puck, etched a line around the tube onto the puck, used a compass to do the same for the inside diameter. I then went around the lines with a flathead screwdriver and a hammer, pried the rubber out between the lines with the screwdriver, put some epoxy in the trough, assembled. The results were awesome. It looked monolithic. I then thought it'd be cool to have a metal ring around the carb. I took a ball needle, broke off the needle, screwed it into the carb hole, sanded it to match the curve of the pipe, voila. The best part was nobody realized the base was a hockey puck til after a few hits, "Hey, that's a hockey puck, isn't it?" Too funny

The heavy hockey puck saved a few bong spills too, if you were lucky it'd tip back and forth and right itself, nothing worse than spilled bong water, yuck.

Folks at madstop made a thing once.
Erlenmyer flask, separatory funnel, Tyson tubing, corks and a big ass bowl they found somewhere.
Called it The Adiabetic Expander. They ended up passin Physical Chemistry.
Some of the others who hit it rarely went to class and had a much harder time gettin good grades.
To be fair alcohol was also involved, so YMMV.

NJ voted for legal weed 2 years ago and it still does not exist. They did decriminalize weed, so a trip to Mass might be in the cards.

These folks sold heritage veggies & heritage veggie plants and grew some CBG plants this year along with CBD plants.
Their tomato plants we put in grew well.
The folks are nice.

Last time I smoked weed was 1978 at a queen concert.
But I find this subject fascinating.
I have a terrible time sleeping. Maybe weed is the answer

It is - try a mellow 2.5 mg gummy. It will take the edge right off.

The Dean Cummings story is very interesting. He definitely suffers from serious mental health issues but you have to wonder how did head injuries and heavy marijuana use factor into all of this.

The Final Descent of Dean Cummings

From the outside, things seemed perfect for the former world extreme skiing champion: he had a family, a successful guiding business, and unending adventure out his front door in Valdez, Alaska. But something dark festered beneath the surface.

Dean Cummings was a champion skier and a pioneer in the Alaska heli-skiing industry, but according to reporting by Outside Magazine, colleagues described him as increasingly out of touch with reality in the years before he allegedly shot and killed a man.
