    so I ended up having to force a weird circumlocution

    Sorry to derail this a little as I’m aware you’re a native speaker, but you did remind me of my interactions with ESL Germans online, where they’d say “Apologies if my English isn’t great; there are gaps in my vernacular” or something wonderfully eloquent like that, that which always comes off as such a casual flex 😆


  • You are totally right of course. Vaping weed is the way to go. I misplaced my dry herb vape when I moved houses several months ago and it hasn’t cropped up yet, which is why I’m back on spliffs for the time being. (Dry herb vapes are spenny as you probably know)

    The only other slight quirk is that vaping weed uses it up pretty fast and it hits fast too. I’m an enjoyer of the process itself rather than just being high (which is why things like pipes and bongs never appealed to me either); the way spliffs let me pad/space out the intake matters to me more than I’d like it to.

    I will switch back once I find my vape, but in the meantime I’ve found using activated charcoal filters instead of roaches does cut out a lot of the nastiness of tobacco. It does weaken the effect of the weed a bit too, but that’s nbd.


  • Not once in my life I heard a smoker say “my first one was awereesomeeeee! I love this!”.
    Real lmao.

    Ex-smoker, picked it up at uni, and the first handful of times I’d tried it, it was vile. The first time it felt OK or possibly good was probably when withdrawal started to kick in. Really should have stopped before that, but I was stubborn and had to learn from experience. Thankfully I was never that heavy a smoker, maybe 3 fags a day, up to 10 or so if on a night out and drinking.

    I do still use it in spliffs, but begrudgingly (can’t find anything else that isn’t too harsh to smoke, nor do I like pure joints).


  • OK, that gave me a good chuckle haha

    As someone who does shave his bush by choice, I can’t imagine going completely smooth. It takes forever and the burns and ingrowns can’t possibly be worth it, let alone demanding that of someone else? If someone wants to remove the hair down there, I really don’t get why the default assumption is to shave so close to the skin rather than trim (so it’s a bit like elongated stubble.) It also looks better than totally clean IMHO.
