I think it's brilliant me how the world keeps spinning round and round and round and round...and at top speed as well

If you're good at chess then you should be good at life...I think

I love the eclipse and all that but I'm sure they're making a bigger deal of this one than they've made of previous ones

I sign the lease for my apartment on April 19th.

My sleep is excused full of unannounced events and sudden adjustments.
As opposed to whatever I did in a whim -- consuming stimulants/sedatives, wrong time and amount of food, intentional skipping...

Then there's discomfort and overwhelm.
It still exists. The former is caused by any sickness or physical illness, the latter is from the head whether it's wrong time and place or specific unasked for processes.

I'm currently dealing with some form of throat infection.
It's not unusual. It's an annoying recurring thing to me.
I used to mistake it as a part of the damnable chronic rhinitis going more wrong than usual, and it's the only reason why I get sick every year at all.

I already experienced the symptoms multiple times. So I'd know the possible ranges of symptoms before hand, and how long it usually stays.
It's usually coming from the stupid weather and dumb luck of being prone to this type of infection.

I'm aware it's at least a week long. And it's always damn uncomfortable with my throat.
I always ponder if I have adenoids or something...

Now that I have the time and resources to check up. It's always at the back of my throat, it its where my nostrils inhale air.

How I experience fever changed.
The temperature fluctuations are still there. But no dizziness, there's no associated weight that went with the illness.

However, it doesn't necessarily meant it's not there; my grip over my vestibular sense is also just as disconnected.
Doesn't necessarily mean lack of control, the seemingly lack of dizziness helped.

Hmm... Does this mean that I may drop unexpectedly for seemingly no reason?
I don't need a lot of conscious control; or at least it doesn't feel that way; there's no associated conscious tightness when it came to it.

Maybe along with my visceral feelings, too. The patterns around my body, usually associated with the nerves...
I know it's silly when I say that I can actually feel whatever's in my head is doing when it's thinking. Now that feeling is mostly gone, it became more subtle.

This also means...
I'd be dealing with sickness differently, too.
At least I'm no longer wrestling control to try and attempt playing reckless, nor am impulsively fighting an equally impulsive whining nag in my head.

I wonder whether weed vapes (the THC kind) are any good for getting high versus smoking weed?

From a friend, FYI: ^


Vaping concentrates and oils: A battery-operated heating device, often fountain pen shaped which blinks when ready to hit (hence their nickname: "blinkers" or "pens" or "the Penjamin" and contain replaceable cartridges (aka "carts"). They heat a liquid containing THC (and who knows what else....) into a vapour or an oil concentrate containing THC (and who knows what else...) Theoretically, this method is healthier than smoking weed but being legitimately suspect of the "and who knows what else", there have been issues with heavy metals, etc.

Vaping "flower"/herb/weed: Heating the "flower" to a temp that is below combustion and usually in a range of 199-210 celsius and normally with most flower vapes, maxing out at a temp of 221 celsius -- all of which is below turning the weed to ash. When a vaping session is complete, there is no ash of any kind in the bowl. The weed is intact and at most is toasted or roasted usually to a light or medium brown colour. People will usually save this vaped weed which is known as ABV (Already Been Vaped) and easily confused by people who prefer alcohol rather than weed because ABV to them means: Alcohol By Volume.

ABV weed could technically be smoked. Loaded in a bong, a pipe or rolled into a joint but it would be pretty harsh and not as potent. People usually make a tincture from it or cook with it, make gummies with it, etc.

Provided the weed is of good quality and free from pesticides, chemicals, metals, etc. then out of all the options above other than ingesting the weed.......vaping "flower" is the most healthy. Or perhaps more accurately, I'd say it's definitely more healthy that smoking it. That's what I do. I have both a battery-operated rechargeable vape for flower that's very precise and I have some manual vapes that have a removable metal cap that's calibrated to "click" when heated to the proper temp. I just got this kind recently and it's got disadvantages; namely, it's far too easy to overheat this unit and combust the weed which is not what I want to do.

One more advantage of vaping flower rather than smoking it? The exhalations are barely noticeable and do not linger at all. Whereas, you know pot smoke does linger and can be very strong.

Continued, lol. (My life with OCD scientists ...) (I don't know any of this myself ...)



Smoking "dabs" or "dabbing". You use something akin to a bong so the device often has water in it. I think there are ways to retrofit an actual bong and turn it into a dabbing "rig", but anyway...what the hell is it?

Viewed with magnification, THC is made almost exclusively into spheres called "trichomes" that sit regally on the end of stalks. The trichomes are easily dislodged from the stalks. When a bud feels "sticky" to the touch, the person is breaking the trichome balls open and the THC laden "sap" (not the right word, but you get the idea) is getting on their fingers.






So believe it or not, the only thing that really matters to humans from a THC perspective are the little balls (trichomes) perched on the end of those stalks which in turn are found almost exclusively on the leaves and the "flowers" which make up buds. Hash is a painstaking collection of the trichomes and only a trace amount of residual plant material (e.g. leaves, flowers, etc.)

Dabbing uses a more pure version of hash (think of it like microscopic caviar) or a refined version of it where buds are pressed under extreme pressure, literally many tons of pressure) to extract the THC which at that point looks like honey. The THC level is extremely high.

Maybe a terrible analogy, but think of the poppy - to opium - to heroin - which is refined in some way to get to that level. Dabbing is perhaps rather than that the heroin of marijuana.

This place is dead today. I have work to do. How am I supposed to procrastinate under these conditions?

The old CockneyRebel seems to be back for now with his Kinks avatars. This is a good thing.
