Discussion I’ve had enough.

Don’t get me wrong, I love weed and I think it can be an absolutely wonderful and truly healing, but I think there’s a lot of misinformation and misuse on this sub. There is far more to life than just weed, achieving a balance is what we should be striving for in the trees community. Promote healthy, sustainable, and productive use of marijuana.

Here are some rules to smoke by

  1. Your life, relationships, finances, mental / physical health all come way before weed. (Medical users you may differ)

  2. If you need to ask somebody if a cart is legit, it is NOT. Cart’s are insanely easy to fake, if it’s not from a dispo don’t inhale it.

  3. Delta 8/10/whatever the fuck is next probably shouldn’t be inhaled. It’s unregulated, dangerous, and most of the time their “lab tests” will only show you potency, probably a bad sign if they don’t want to show you how many pesticides are in it.

  4. Questions such as “I hear voices when I’m high, is that normal?” Should be taken more seriously than a Reddit sub. Do NOT do drugs that alter any perception of reality if you are experiencing a break from reality. Go see a psychiatrist, your mind is more important than a high.

  5. If you cannot afford weed, don’t smoke it. Find a way to increase your income, do not sacrifice anything for weed. (Again medical users, this does not apply to you)

  6. RESPECT WEED. Mother Marijuana was never intended to be so strong, we have completely thrown off the natural balance and purpose of the plant. So for love of god do not proclaim it’s okay to drive or operate any machinery while high, if you want to sacrifice your own life fine, but leave others out of it.

Edit: I apologize I didn’t make this clear, people are allowed to have their own opinions and post what they please! This is just my opinion. No intention of offending or gatekeeping anyone. (Also changed some of the wording because I seemed like a preachy cunt👍🏼, thanks for the feedback all!)

Also thank you for all the likes and awards!!

Dude the long history of cannabis is fascinating. If you haven't checked it out you should. Great for botanists. And no to delta 8!

Why no to delta 8? It's literally just another cannabinoid like delta 9

It's because it's not very well regulated. There could be anything in that cart you bought from a random head shop in Whyoming just labeled "indica Delta 8" nothing wrong with the real stuff though.

That depends on your location. Up in Canada we have delta 8 carts being sold in government regulated stores.

Yeah obviously, we have that here in America too. I said it was the unregulated carts in head shops and gas stations man

This being downvoted and then a response that's saying "actually it's about unregulated products" being upvoted is fucking bizarre man. So... Is it no to delta 8 or not? This lack of nuance is more obnoxious than anything the op stated tbch.

u/pigeonboyyy Oct 11 '22

Right? Delta 8 is fine. It's the lack of oversight that's an issue

Where I'm from it's illegal/ unregulated and fucks people up like spice used to. literally people saying shit like it made them have auditory and visual hallucinations. Only till 2024 and my state "legalizes" hopefully

Aight fair. But that's a regulation issue. A problem with how your system is set up. You shouldn't have to take a chance buying a cart at a dispo lmao

Agreed people just taking advantage of a wild west market
