Virginia has not decriminalized recreational use of small amounts of Marijuana. 'Decriminalized' is when you can get a fine and no jail time, like when the penalty for getting caught smoking a (tobacco) cigarette in an elevator is a $25 fine.

As of July 2021, Virginia has legalized the possession in public of up to 1 ounce of Marijuana by a person at least 21 years of age. It is also legal to have edibles and oils.

As for me, when I lived in University Park, one of the other residents had some bad weed that literally smelled like shit. (I know what marijuana usually smells like.) He was smoking it, and I'm pretty much certain I got contact high without realizing it. I did not really find it to be much fun. So I don't think gummis or edibles would help me.
What exactly did you experience?

About 25 years ago, when Pinback's father also posted on the Bull and Finch Pub (the BBS Pinback operated) his father used to post this song lyric:

I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war;
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke two more.

You might like it, Rae; it's done in Reggae style.

I agree with the HIGH thread but don't jump on it ppl. I am going to make it today, after I get out of the the hospital and get high! Gotta think of a sweet name. This is great because abuse I delete all of the awesome shit I write on Facebook when I'm high that would have comedic value later!

Commamder, you should eat a thc gummy and find out. Obviously the booze won't work for you so maybe some decriminalized weed would.

Rae, fortunately you'll be the only one doing that, because if that rule became popular there'd probably only be you and me left posting here. Oh wait, they have me on Gabapentin for leg pain. So I guess that means you'll be the only one here left who isn't on drugs while posing.

By the way, how high is fuck, anyway? How high can you be and not be on fuck? Is that what they mean by being fucked up?

I agree, Ben has been perfectly incompetent. Why mess with that and make him unable to even be incompetent? He might end up being just aggressive instead of passive-aggressive.
Do you feel you are a more "competent" person than pinback?

Start a new thread where you post only when you're high. Like the drunk base in the Troll Room. Take photos of the gummies ( or however you take it )

Well fuck. Sorry Pinback.
I'll try harder not to fuck up a thread next time.

You have no idea what the subject was, and have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'm not gonna waste my time trying to introduce something new to people who are just hovering over their keyboards waiting to type everything they know about quantum holographs or whateverthefuck.

It's the MONOLOGUE base, although I did say I'd accept questions, but instead I immediately get a bunch of people typing unrelated nonsense at me and telling me why I'm wrong, even though I hadn't even gotten started yet.

Forget it.

Buncha animals.

A urine test will work for both blood alcohol level and presence of marijuana, but I don't think it can tell MJ intoxication level nor how recent MJ use was. It may, but I don't know for sure.

Rae, this is Ben "Pinback" Parish's standard modus operandi when he proposes some half-baked hypothesis, then realizes that someone - or in this case, two people - are more familiar with the subject, or better able to call him on his bull shit. Or, if we want to use "absolute truth" Ben shit.

In short terms, if I understand it, he has a master's degree in passive-aggressive.

He just doesn't like being the recipient of one-upmanship, or, in our case, two-upmanship.

Of course there is time and space, you and me, and of course the speed of light is whatever we all decided was the right answer. My suggestion is that these are all relative truths. Vader is Luke's dad, and time/space/self are real things. What I am most interested in is the absolute truth, the "screen", if you will, on which these things appear.
Sounds like you could be a fan of the "holographic principle", popularized by Leonard Suskind:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8E7NmPRDkI

Basically, time and space are emergent phenomena, which is the relative truth. The absolute truth would be that space and time are the results of quantum entanglement on a two-dimensional surface. The screen. We can never perceive that screen, because we ourselves are part of the emergent spacetime.

However, I don't think that something is necessarily physically correct just because the math checks out.
I've read of quantum entanglement a bit and the phenomena definitely captured my attention. Your definition of the screen and absolute truth made the most sense to me than the mere philosophy of it all. Once you break it down to the physics and the math of it, I'm all set.

I have no idea what any of that means and it has nothing to do with anything I was going to talk about, but fuck it.
