      Agreed. No matter how many drinks I’ve had, the second I take a few tokes, my desire to continue drinking immediately stops.

        If I smoke after many drinks it’s game over for me. A lesson I never seem to learn as I curse myself having the spins 😅

          Yeah I remember being young and getting the spins too. It stops happening with enough experience. Eventually you learn exactly how much you can drink before you smoke and not suffer any negative effects.

      It worked for me. I rarely touch alcohol these days, as it is so debilitating. A THC gummy or two puts me in a social mood for the whole evening.

        They make THC patches which give you a nice, steady [2]-[3] for a solid eight hours.

          I need this, cause vaping only lasts about 15 minutes and edibles have about a 25% success rate for me. Do all legal states sell these?
