A final note... We do have a large circle of friends and out of those, I believe around 95% smoke and have been smoking for decades. All bums of course, how else could it be. Like heads of the local Museum bum, head of finances at the local tax office bum, the Earl of XXX, a Government advisor bum, plus a few small business managers bums, etc. As I said, all bums, all useless, all on benefits and all out at night raping grannies.

As i get older, more and more i find out that every one and their grandmother smokes weed.
I used to think only teens did it. My friend has been selling for a few years and most his clinets are older people in their 40's, 50's even 60's.
Plus, in the industry that i work in, almost every one smokes. I know more then a few owners of large companies who smoke every single day. Some of them even have personal pipes, and stash boxes with company logos on them. Its crazy.
Ony offise that we frequently work with, every single person there smokes, right at work, right at their desk. Cool people but take kinda long to get anything done lol. Funny thing is that if you ever met them on the street, you would never tell that they smoke. Married, business owners, have children, verace suits.........

Oh and in regards to celebrations. Im not sure if its still going on, but we used to have a parade in the city where everyone would gather around the park and light up. Not sure if they still do that, but i remember the parade was not on 420, but at an earlier date. I think because 420 and earth day are 2 days apart.
But its still illegal here. I doubt its going to legal anytime soon. However, our neighboring state is different.

Darn it! I had a great story written, but it went away while I was editing it! Sorry, but I have to get in the mood again. I really enjoyed the stories about the walking trips and other comments.

Smoking at work, Crazy? Now that is crazy. I thought that smoking per se was illigal in any workplace in the USA.

I don't like smoking during the day but that is mainly because the only thing you can buy these days is that outrageously strong and CBD rich skunk they grow and sell in the UK. Nothing like what I'd call the real thing you used to get in the old days. Afghani, Pakistani, Thaisticks, red Lebanese, Moroccan chocolate, etc. Ah, those were the days.

Sorry for sidetracking.

I don't remember if I mentioned it in my original post but cooking and baking are extremely high on my list. We haven't bought a loaf of bread for... I can't even remember. And I am not referring to baking bread in one or those silly breadmakers, they're rubbish. No, the traditional way using proper fresh yeast, though JoBleau may disagree with me there on some level. Just the oven needs work or Jo will finally have to tell me about the adaptations he was planning to make to his oven to keep more steam in.

Still, given half a chance to buy all the ingredients, which isn't easy in Britain, I am quite capable of turning any grain into a wonderfully flavoursome loaf.

And when it comes to the sweet stuff, it's Chelsea Buns for me. Not those rubbish ones they sell in British supermarket bakeries but again the proper ones, the ones with butter dripping out at the bottom, the ones that are so succulent, soft and full of buttery goodness, laced with cinnamon and muscavado sugar and tons and tons of currants. Hm, lipsmackingly wonderful. Like food porn. LOL

Anybody else here like cooking, baking, growing their own food? Maybe more recipe exchanges ahead?

jobleau · 03-23-2012, 11:28 AM

Indeed I didn't have time to tell you my latest tales of bread making.

But that will come, sooner or later. About the oven, I thought I'd sent you a picture of my idea. Looks like I didn't. Well, I'll try to do that this weekend. The thing works pretty well.

And no, I don't disagree with you on both count, either using the traditional way or fresh yeast. Speaking of yeast I have some developments on that too.

Nice new avatar by the way.

I've been smoking since I was 15, that makes it 38 years and I have little inclination of stopping just yet. My wife has been smoking for some 30 years but she does it primarily for medical reasons, though she does like getting high as well. It is just such a shame that one of the best drugs that nature has in store for mankind has such an evil reputation in most countries in Europe.

Not good really. All those silly anti-drug laws that just further the profits of Mafia and such cronies. Besides, laws were once designed to protect the majority from unexeptable behaviour that would damage society as a whole. Sounds just like they are describing cannabis, doesn't it. I too go out every night mugging old ladies and stabbing taxi drivers so I can buy my next batch.

What I really don't like these days is all that almost industrially produced skunk rubbish. Most of it just tastes like crap, gets you stoned before you get high and leaves you wondering whether you are going to be able to crawl to the fridge when the munchies hit you. No, sometimes it just isn't fun anymore, quite apart from the rip-off pricing.

A final note... We do have a large circle of friends and out of those, I believe around 95% smoke and have been smoking for decades. All bums of course, how else could it be.

Bums, that's us.

Happy toking and do you have any 420 celebrations where you live?

Oh, btw, there are more smokers here then you think.

Yeah, I think its crazy how marijuana is treated. One nice thing about where I live is that you can get really good organic sensimilla. Afghan Kush, Strawberry Cough, White Widow, and of course Skunk. You pay a little more, but who wants that garbage commercial schwag once you get a taste of the good stuff, right? About $12 to $15 USD a gram for the good stuff. Marijuana has been decriminalised here where I live. You can check out the laws here: New York State Laws. Crazy, huh? 25 grams or less is a civil citation. We don't have medicinal marijuana here. Its been in the legislature for a few years, but the governors keep shooting it down because of their ignorance.

I truly believe in the medicinal properties of marijuana. I don't want to discuss my health issues here, but it helps me immensely. As a teenager it was recreational, but now I use it medicinally in my own home, at night before I go to bed. I don't see the problem with that. I don't go anywhere, no driving, nothing. And it makes sex a lot better. Plus, my wife likes me a lot better when I'm stoned. I can actually feel human for a short while.

I am an educated individual that is held in very high esteem by my colleagues. So, yes, I know a lot of doctors as well as other educated professionals that toke. We are not bums or losers. If only the Nay Sayers knew that these professionals were potheads. There are also a lot of my friends that would like to smoke, but random drug testing here in the US is rampant and usually carries severe consequences, so they are too afraid.

We don't have any celebrations here, except personal private celebrations. We call them "garden parties" or "clam bakes" and we celebrate every 420. And happy toking to you also. If you are ever in my neck of the woods, we will have to get together for a clam bake. Bring crazy8 along too.

Thank, yes, I got a bit fed up with the old one.

I am looking forward to the oven idea and pics and in return I still owe you my latest adventures in kneading techniques. Makes one heck of a difference to those Kaiserbroetchen or Emperors Rolls. You should have seen the last batch. Talk about yummy.

I've also found the first two parts of The Hairy Bikers Bakeation, that I'll have to send you. The first part, mostly about Norwegian breads was great. Part 2 was so so and part three should be good, German bread. Now we're talking. LOL

hoverfly · 03-25-2012, 09:21 AM

I think it may be time to start a fresh topic about this. After all, it was me who was complaining about threads beeing hijacked. LOL. Yes, I can talk.

Not sure if this fits in under Sexual Health Issues but I suppose in the widest sense it might. So, here is the link to the new thread disucussing the benefits of certains drugs with relation to sex and general well-being.

The post is still in the making but here is the link anyway.
Of Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll

Yeah, sorry for jacking the thread. I read your new one. Very nice. So back to hobbies. Here's a list in order of preference:

1. Video games - play them whenever I get the chance.
2. Outdoor recreation - hiking, mountain biking, camping, kayaking, and snowshoeing.
3. Astronomy - I have a Celestron 6se.
4. Woodworking - new to this. Still setting up my workshop in the garage.
5. Home projects - because being a home owner, they are never ending.
6. Bread baking - no bullshit. Me too, but I do use a bread maker. I would like to do oven bread.

Of course my family comes first, but they are not a hobby. And like I said before marijuana + sex = awesome. Anybody else enjoy any of these hobbies?
