  1. Here's a few random tips from a guy I know very closely.

     

    For a start go with the legal option for your cannabis products, it's quite easy these days, just find out which local doctor or medical centre does it and just join the program or whatever you have to do to begin with. I can only see it getting easier by the month, plus you have a good excuse if you ever get a piss test etc

     

    Next tip is to only ingest orally and/or vape, which has a very different effect to smoking it, well for some people anyway. Smoking weed (combustion) actually induces anxiety in many people, while vaping greatly reduces anxiety without any of the bad effects associated with smoking (not completely sure why).

     

    Also remember that you really shouldn't be vaping the oil if it's mixed with a carrier oil like MCT. There are good vapes for dry herb for under $100.

     

    Oil or cookies seem to work fine weather they're cooked or not, the idea is not to be getting blazed anyway, always respect this powerful medicine and never abuse it or take it for granted. Try a few different methods and see what works, and give it a good hour or so to come on. Once again, if you're trying to get blazed then you'll probably find this difficult to get used to.

     

    For those who can grow their own plants there are many options with THC/CBD ratios, so go for a good medicinal strain. Remember THC certainly does have its medicinal properties, especially when used properly. And then there are all the other cannabinoids to consider, so pure CBD strains are generally not as effective as others, a fairly-well established fact nowadays.

     

    Many legal oil products come with precision dosing so keep track of exactly how many milligrams is the right dose for you. That way, if you change products in the future, you can easily calculate the number of drops to achieve the same result. There'd be nothing worse than arriving at a job interview seeing double, when all you wanted was to take the edge off your anxiety. Doctors will also want to monitor the milligrams so it's the way to go for a number of reasons. However, if you do need a little more here and there you can always whip out the vape for an immediate effect.

     

    Not real sure about other herbal options other than try them all and see what works for you. I've found peppermint and dandelion tea to be pretty good. Valerian, passionflower, chamomile, etc, many of those options are pretty good additions to cannabis products.

     

    Hope you find some useful tips here and good luck :)

  2. Well they did in the ACT so who knows. Legalisation of Cannabis has only ever happened through public pressure and the power of the vote. Sure it may take a while but never underestimate the power of democracy, and never underestimate the destructive power of voter apathy.

  3. Keen to bring my rod too :)

     

    Well if everyone's OK with it can we let Boof give us his top pick, and then we can all see what we reckon.

     

    We wanna establish a date and venue ASAP.

     

    Cheers Boof, I think it's safe to say this one is yours to run with mate :)

  4. Those Youcamp places sounded really good Boof, you've mentioned them a few times and I was always keen.

     

    I think we really need to find a place very soon and put it to the vote.

     

    Got any more info? Links/ prices  on the Youcamp.

     

    I propose Boof look further into it and  let us know what he finds :)

     

    And then we see who's in favour etc.

     

    Anyone else keen for Boof to look into the Youcamp option?

  5. 2 hours ago, DJ-MC said:

    We missed ya HD 

     

    I think we could probably find a nice spot that doesn't need to be booked probably closer to esk though... Along the Brisbane valley rail trail there's plenty of spots I'm sure we could happily camp with no dramas.

     

    If we do a camp I'll cook us a mad feed!

     

     

     

    Sounds awesome, where ever you think is good, I'm down for :)

  6. Sounds good to me :)

     

    Sorry I missed the last one.

     

    I was trapped down in NSW doing some flood repair work and didn't have any phone or internet reception. I was supposed to come back Friday, but only got back Monday.

    Once again, very sorry I couldn't get a message through with my appologies, but very keen for the spring meet :)

     

    Does that mean we need to book a campsite? Hopefully not during the school holidays then. Maybe we should camp somewhere by the river near Fernvale/Lowood.

    Did that plenty of times when I was a kid. It's pretty good if you get a nice spot. 

     

  7. So the consensus is there IS no consensus. LOL

    Tomato, tomato I guess...

     

    I feel like I'm learning a lot here though. And it seems like there's always exceptions to the rules too.  The Hispanic surname Pachano may just be one of those words that doesn't fit neatly into convention.

     

    Personally  Im starting to like somewhere between pash-a-no-eye and pa-chan-o-ee

     

     

  8. My Botany professor once told me that pronunciation of plant names is rather subjective but I'd love to hear people's thoughts on the pronunciation of everyone's favourite tongue-twister 'pachanoi'.

     

    It seems there are 2 main schools of thought, Pack-annoy  and Patch-annoy, but after looking a bit deeper into it I'm wondering if there's a third, more appropriate pronunciation that may be worth considering, and I'll offer some points for and against.


    To begin with, it's fairly common knowledge that the Latin binomial stems from the surname of a prominent Ecuadorian botanist Prof. Abelardo Pachano who assisted Britton and Rose in their famous Andean cacti expedition.

    So I guess from there it's important to consider how the surname 'Pachano' is pronounced to begin with, or more specifically how HE may have pronounced his own surname.

     

    I could be wrong here but from my 'research' E8O7cBtXoAABYva.jpg:large   it would seem that in South American Hispanic the surname is most often pronounced  more like either:

     

     'Puh-CHAN-no'  or  'Pa-SHANNO'  which would turn out a bit like pa'CHAN-noy  when latinised. (not Patcha-noy/pat'char-noy)

     

    https://www.howtopronounce.com/spanish/pachano

    https://www.pronouncekiwi.com/Anibal Pachano -look for the Spanish versions near the bottom of the page.

     

     

     

    Here's some examples of spanish pronunciation I came across online. The Spanish examples are a bit of a surprise, but somehow sound kinda 'right' at the same time, well at least to my ears.

    Anyway, love to hear other people's takes on this, is it all just subjective to our own personal preferences or have we been saying pa'CHAN-noy wrong all this time? 

     

     

    Seems like there are plenty of options for the pronunciation of the word pachanoi anyway...

  9. LOL, Good stuff Boof! You've earned yourself a top reputation here and we're with you all the way.

     

    It's all too easy to get scammed these days, and we all have to make a stand whenever it rears it's ugly head. :slap:

  10. Happy Mother's day you MuthrF****S LOL. 

     

    I only mention this because its a particularly good time of year to plant certain winter annuals. Flowers and veggies and the like....

     

    Keep those thumbs green abd your hands dirty :)

  11. Hey mate, loving this this epic discussion thread of yours, I'll have some time to finally read through it properly very soon.

     

    Just a quick question for anyone who may know, -Is it OK to use water trays with Ephedras? As-in the water collection trays under the pot. To give them better access to moisture and stop them drying out as fast. 

     

    Sorry if this is a complete noob question, but yeah it's definitely not an area I have much knowledge in.

     

    Cheers for the help

  12. Funny but I just happened to be watching the Murdoch media tonight (what an experience that was) and they made no mention of it, only banging on about some slip-up from Albo last week.

     

    If it had come from a Labor person, that's all you'd hear about for the next 6 months.
