I don't smoke weed, so I don't know what's normal. Is it normal to smoke weed on your lunch break on telework days?

overall it certainly isn't typical.  i think it depends on 1) one's ability to work while high, 2) how high one gets, and 3) what sort of works needs to be done.  creative or repetitive tasks are candidates for working while stoned; deep analytical work not so much - but that's just me (see point #1).  i'm sure at some point i've consumed during working hours, but i honestly can't remember the last time i did.

some people like to hit the gym while MJ'ed, personally i would lose interest in the weights and end up staring at the TV instead.  YMMV.

nope
but I do have a good friend who does editing work and is high from the time he gets up and goes to bed
It's all telework and the employer is very happy with his work (been with them for over a decade)

^not impressed at all
Why anyone wouldn't just get the pre-made cones to roll joints is beyond me…

Also, didn't realize I was doing it wrong the whole time, I always added the 'filter' when rolling the joint…seems so much easier to add it at the end

why would you bake a cake from scratch instead of using a something from box?  why brew your own beer instead of buying a six-pack?  control. what if you want something bigger/smaller/etc than the shape of the cone?  those cones seem like a PITA to pack… how much control do you have over density/tightness?

as a youngin that's what we did. putting it in at the end has 2 drawbacks:
1) the filter can be made too small, so it sits really loose in the joint.  you take a puff, and it falls out or sticks to your lips.  you're then left trying to stuff it back in to a burning joint.
2) when stuffing in the filter at the end, you can sometimes catch a fold in the paper, push that fold down, and end up blocking the joint.  this tends to occur when you make the filter too big, so it's barely smaller that the diameter of the joint.  the solution is not to make a big filter, i.e. one that will easily fit in and can unfurl once in place, but then you have the issue of it providing poor filtering and/or drawback #1 (see above).

in both cases, you have an annoying problem to solve just when you were looking forward to relaxing and enjoying a J.  i learned to put the filter in while rolling from some euros and haven't looked back since.  they also taught me about the reverse roll, but that's frankly more effort than i'm willing to put in most days…

will the real David Crosby please stand up

it comes with a little cardboard packer, so you grind, fill a little, pack a little, repeat until filled
Just twist up and you are done…so easy I think Hutch could even swing it and they are perfect every time
Grinding is critical as that gets the pack even
I'd say I've probably rolled at least 100 joints in my life and none are as good as the ones I do with the cones

I don't think the beer/cake is a good comparison, but now I've got the munchies

I haven’t gotten baked in 20 months…. This is probably some record for me

Hmm…so are republicans actually doing some good with this, I don't really oppose the proposed changes (although really need more detail on what they mean)  I hope they push up retail!  Some of the tax stuff was a little wonky and I think open for change

Those changes could include moving up the start date for retail sales and getting rid of a provision that would give licensing preference to people who have been convicted of marijuana crimes


I mean, it's kind of a dick thing to do, but of the parts of the bill I like, this was never one. I get the intention, but execution is going to be horrible
Republicans will strip the law of “social equity” provisions designed to help people who have been hurt by old marijuana laws

Might have to thank a republican

Which is odd as last year every single one of them voted against it

Mississippi becomes the 37th state to legalize medical marijuana

Well, if this party doesn't keep Virginia . . . 'Panama Red' for years to come, I don't know what will.

I predict Virginia is going to become the "Colorado / California Weed State" of the East Coast.
