And when they are coming to Ireland? I’m asking for, er…..a friend.
The bears on the left look a lot Happier ….
There used to be 10 bears on the left but the others got the munchies
Visited a pot shop in Cortez Colorado. It was great to go in, have a chat with the assistant and select a nice mellow blend. Went home bbq, a few beers and blazed up a bowl. Be great to be able to enjoy it responsibly here too. It should be this easy. Dealers lose, customers get top quality, tax gets paid on it.
But that makes too much sense
That’s really the way to go. Was in Portugal last year but the problem was that you’re still at the mercy of street dealers, well at least until you make some local friends. That and it’s mainly hash which cuts the lungs out of me. It’s great hash but not my thing.
We scored some seriously good grass this year in Portugal Poole, like you I hate hash and only use green. We got twice the amount for the same money we would have paid in Ireland, you just have to be very careful who you deal with – avoiding street dealers. Made some great cookies and discovered strawberry frubes the absolute munchie food, sadly not available here :(
Have you got a link to those strawberry frubes. As a munchies aficionado, I’m intrigued :)
Sorry they are called frubis not frubes :( made by a Portuguese company called Nutry. They are supposed to be available on Amazon but always out of stock. https://www.google.ie/search?q=nutry+frubis&prmd=ismvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwib3aGguOXPAhXFIsAKHWkIDN0Q_AUIBygB&biw=800&bih=1280#imgrc=voQNybSslgCQ4M%3A
Weeds not addictive.. says every stoner, sure it’s not
I remember in the local video store, the film Flesh Gordon was on the shelf beside Flash Gordon. Caused a bit of embarrassment.
You’d have been mortified if you came home with “Flash Gordon” by mistake.
I just spent the afternoon eating Pot noodle after Pot noodle and I feel nothing except a trip to the bathroom coming on.
Well now is the season if you want to get up early and stroll the fields to go mushroom picking. Bit of extra flavour for those Pot noodles. Just dont go reading Wheres Wally books after.
I love a pot tart now :)
Won’t somebody think of the sugar tax?!
Someone give some to Trump, do he might calm down.
cannabis candy kills
Ermmmm… I’m gonna go with no it doesn’t. If accid nylon consumed (as can happen in this case), then it’ll cause some anxiety and upset as you wouldn’t understand what’s going on, however there’s not one single case of an overdose death from cannabis or marijuana anywhere in the world ever.
Have you seen the amount that’d have to be consumed in order to kill? It’s approximately 3.3 lbs per pound of body weight.
Cannabis should not be sold in the form of children’s sweets no matter how harmless it may or may not be.
Gimme gammy gummies!
have your say
