You can never tell!

[hamstring]

I go to the local pub every Sunday to watch my football team play. Go Bears! (I know, I know not much to cheer about).

Well it is a small close nit place and many people bring a dish-to-pass during the game. I always try and put something together. Well one time I made some MJ brownies (not for public consumption) for my friends and I to have. Well as it turns out an older couple(mid fifties) that looks so conservative happen to get a taste unknown to me.

A couple of weeks latter I bring my homemade tatter salad. It goes over pretty well and the wife of the couple comes over to as she usually does and thanks me and says it was good. Then out of the blue she asks me where she could get some more of those brownies. I was taken aback and almost fell down. After I regained my composure I told her I could get her some more if she was interested.

I feel like I learned a couple of things.

First like the header of this thread says,” You never know”.

Second it is so weird that more people are willing to try ingesting MJ but not smoking it. So many people who I know very well never smoke as I have asked to join me partook of the brownies.

Why do you think people are more willing to ingest MJ rather than smoke it?

That's exactly how I used to feel before I started smoking. As someone who had never smoked anything, smoking was scary but I had eaten plenty of things so that was more familiar.

Of course... I still haven't had any edibles... but I'm planning to change that soon.

NEWSFLASH!!! Everyone smokes cannabis, but NO ONE smokes cannabis. I have smoked with doctors, lawyers, accountants, chefs, a retired cop, teachers, professors, squatters, grandparents, parents, kids (when I was one), muslims, jews, catholics, protestants, hell- believe it or not- I've smoked with a mormon!

Marijuana really is the only thing that crosses all borders- socio-economic, linguistic, religious, political and educational.

In addition to that, most of us also share a fear of persecution for our recreation. Hence- Everbody smokes, but nobody smokes.

How do you know she doesn't want to smoke it?

Hey everyone thanks for the replies.

Huff&Puff
You are right of course but in my experience you are not privy to this info therefore “All I know is what I know” (stupid quote from Donald Rumsfield). I wish I knew all the doctors and lawyers and whoever else you mentioned. It must be cool to have a relationship/association with people who share this interest. The fact is most are not interested in me knowing but when you do find out that someone is or at least could be it is interesting to me. I do not know many people that smoke because I in turn do not expose myself to others.

I wish we could all be more open but we can’t I think that’s why these forms exist because we have to be careful. If someone does feel comfortable enough to open up to me I cherish it and talk about it to the IC community.

You are correct I do not know if she would smoke. What I did was rationalize that she could make her own brownies if she was a smoker. She was old enough to have known the recipe. I was speaking in general though about ingesting it. It has been my experience that people relatively unfamiliar with MJ are willing to eat it but not smoke it and I was looking for some back and forth on that subject.


I guess it is like tweedledee said. People are more familiar with ingesting something than smoking. They associate smoking with Crack and Meth maybe.

Agree Totaly!!
But like gramp always said.."It's hard tellin not knowin" I like to think I can sense like minded people and thats were I gravitate.But I think everyone is smoking to,cant judge by a cover.

 

[TheGoodStuff]

Smoking is taboo.
Eating isn't.

 

[hamstring]

Good stuff
I agree smoking of any kind is considered undesirable. Also if you wish to smoke it has to be done secretly and in "under the table" kind of way (at least in a social group). Many people find it to be a more criminal venture than simply having a brownie which if done in the right situation (dish-to-pass) it is very discrete.

I have hypothesis that when states outlaw smoking in public spaces, like my state, smoking MJ will become easier to do in public.

My theory is that because all smokers will be forced outside or to their cars (in the winter) it will make smoking MJ less noticeable. Before anyone smoking outside a bar or in the open stuck out more.

What say you?

you forgot the most important part of this story.
how the eff did the bears lose that game to the giants?

Dude you are the man. I have no idea especially after, they pushed the ball down the field on their first possession and scored a TD. How often do you see that from the Bears, Never!!! Of course the NFL network bought the this Thursdays game. The poor bastards will never make their money back on that game.

I will still watch it though.

PEACE at you Frank

My $1.28

I have been seeing the number 128 for the past 3 years on a very oddly high frequency. People telling me they changed their screennames on AIM and it has a 128 in it, or when I go buy something it costs 1.28, or the model number on X item when I'm trying to explain it to a tech support... etc
The weird thing is, everytime I see it, I get an eerie feeling

I have no idea why but whenever I see the number 128 it appears in odd places usually when I'm in an inquisitive or otherwise type of mood where I've usually been reading or talking about some philosophy or something related.

I just got done watching that video posted in an earlier thread about Joe Rogan's DMT trip experience and started thinking about his ideas and trying to have a conversation about it with my friends, then I read this thread and see Huff's just my "1.28"

I'm trying to figure out why the number 128 has so much significance for me, because oddly enough it DOES. I feel like it means something but it has no meaning, if that makes sense.

Maybe I'm just weird.

Same here, but not 128. Mine is 39. I guess it's our 23?
Trips me out. I'll see a ticket stub or receipt where it says "your number is 39".

AH!

 

[HuffAndPuff]

WOAHWOAHWOAHWOAH.....

Ok, so I'll start w/ the $1.28... I originally typed 1.36, as I recall, but I changed it cuz I didn't think 1.36 sounded/looked as funny. I'm trying to maximize comedic impact here, people! As to how I settled on it, I have no idea. Just the next number to pop into the ole duder's head. So that is kind of weird, I guess.

Even more bizarre... Good stuff, what do you mean "I guess it's our 23"? It's kind weird to even find out any body else has these numbers of theirs, but-believe it or not- 23 is mine. Lucky#/seem to see it all over. It was my number for baseball, and I still rock a pair of Sals (Etnies skate shoe) with the 23 under the ankle- Just like the ones I wore in Middle school!

So where did the 23 come from? Is there some obvious mathematic connection I'm missing? Or are you just occupying the space inside my head, seeing as how I ditched it to take over Feyd's Dojo.

Oh, and maybe it's kind of like once you start noticing one type of car, you seem to see tons of them on the road. It's not that they werent there before, it's just that you're now consciously aware of them.
