I love this thread. It wholly encapsulates the madness and chaos that is GWF, and I couldn't be happier. :D :love The whirling roller coaster of a journey from a simple typo via the biscuit/cookie and gravy debates, looping around UK vs. US and going into funny british candy names. Love it. Never change.

Now that's a lovely mistake! No advent calendar here this year.
My advent calendar this year contains 24 samples of cheese. :D:rock

Be me:
Recovering from flu and covid
Laughing my ass off at work
Then coughing my lungs out
*now dead*

Dinky deckers?! How is that a real name for candy?! Holy shit that's hilarious.

Brits aren’t real… I’m telling you… it’s all Hogwarts and Nanny 911 over there.

Uuuuugh. I was going to go all in and change that ladybug to a tarantula, but I realized it's past midnight and I was photoshopping a stupid fucking chocolate bar... So I quit while I wasn't dead.

Never change.

But that’s a fox not a dingo

Isn’t a dingo just a fox with spicier rabies?

File your complaint with Google, or whatever AI generated service this Freepik I stole it from is. 🤷‍♂️

I keep trying to convince the courts that the charges shouldn't apply because I'm not real, but so far they aren't buying it... :rolleyes:

/s

Never change.

Only on a full moon.
 
I know it was probably auto correct, but a cheese adventure calendar sounds even better than a cheese Advent calendar.

I currently have an edible advent calendar.

Because of course I do.

You know you live in a non-legalised country when you go "does this guy not think cheese and chocolate are edible??"

Oh... OH.

I was honestly sitting here thinking you ate the calendar... Like, one bite every 25 days... I totally forgot weed edibles existed and that was what was inside...

And I can't even blame being high myself anymore, that was just being dumb.

In fairness that was also my first thought

My first thought was "don't most advent calendars have edible stuff?" Then "wait, does he mean the calendar itself?!"

I take an edible every night so I don't know what my excuse is.

Inb4 Mark is revealed as working for a dispensary that's looking to push their edibles worldwide

Naaah. I’m not one of those peer-pressuring dudes. I *might* accidentally try to pass someone something if we’re sitting around bullshitting if I’m just talking and not paying attention to what I’m doing or who I’m handing off to, but I respect people’s choices to indulge or not.

You'd make an awful edibles salesman with that attitude! Fine, I withdraw my accusation!

You know as someone who has never been able to use due to access, this is the actual best selling technique to get me. Because I don't know whether I want to try or not once it's legalised but I do know I want it to be my choice

Fair point, well then I reinstate my previously retracted accusations!

Edibles are great for first timers as long as you follow the directions… if you don’t… you could have a bad time. You won’t overdose or anything wild like that, obviously, but anxiety is common with people that eat more than they should.

Edibles changed my life - for the better. My wife says the same.

But I also understand hesitency and they're not for everyone.

Agreed, but for cannabis in general. I don’t want to be on anxiety or depression medications, they sap the life out of everyone I’ve ever known that took them. I know that doesn’t speak for the practice as a whole, and medications do help a lot of people… but I like the “natural” feeling from bud, I can live without the chemically sedated feelings.

As someone on anti-depressants and anti-psychotics, yeah, they fucking suck.

I'm currently on both. I mean obviously I'm going through a lot of shit and the medication will not necessarily be forever - but the combo definitely helps.

There’s no shame in it, dude. I know it’s not what you’d consider an ideal situation… but in yours, there’s no such thing as ideal, you kinda have to improvise your way through as best you can. I’m just glad that you’re able to utilize both, and one doesn’t offset or cause an adverse reaction with the other. I’ve known quite a few people that ran the gauntlet from either just couldn’t get stoned anymore to if they smoked too soon after their medication they’d have anxiety or some wild paranoia.

I've had one bad experience while on the meds which was this week - but Christmas is unleashing all kinds of shit on me and it was a lot of THC. Gonna dial back the THC amount.

Separating this one out for obvious tonal reasons. I feel you, I’ve had plenty of instances where I’ve had so much shit going on that the last thing I wanted to do was get stoned because of how my mind would behave. I get too analytical, too introspective, too empathetic, you know how it is. It’s easy to spiral when the gears get turning, so I understand. I’m just proud that you’re laying off of the liquor and not leaning into it… I don’t like seeing anyone go down that road. I know you might not look at it as that big of a deal, but the fact that you’re persevering through what you’ve got on your plate without the drink is something to be proud of.

Clearly you turned into a stoner because you didn't get anyone to sign the "Recognized by" part.

just couldn’t get stoned anymore
That's actually the boat I felt I was in over the past few months, since starting on prescription meds. I felt I was smoking way more than normal, even for me, and it just wasn't doing shit to make me feel different. I only got the brief calm-down from the ritual of it, but I didn't actually feel jack for a high. I suppose that was a double-edged sword, as it made it easier to quit smoking as I'd already lost the "It's doing something for me" feeling, but... I'd rather it still did something for me.

I did since get them to change the meds they'd put me on so maybe that wouldn't be as pronounced now. If nothing else, I'm going to try to push 1-2 months without weed so it's out of my system, then start small again and try to keep myself in check so as not to smoke all day. Working from home definitely kicked up my impulse to just take bong-hits like it was a cigarette break...

Hopefully with a reset in tolerance, edibles would do something for once, too.

I appreciate these words a lot. Thank you. You're right about all of it and I'm proud of maintaining that restraint although it was tempting.

I was like the POSTER child for DARE. Even won the essay contest and had to read it in front of the ENTIRE school. My older cousin was like "You know that stands for 'drugs are really excellent' " and I was like nuuuhh-uuuuhhh!!

Now I'm like "find me in the parking lot. I brought chocolate!" And my friend's all "didn't you have some chocolate for me?" "Nah, babe, that time has passed. 🙂😄😁🙃🫠😐😑😶🫥🫨"
