Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I don't know what's legal in your/her state, Laura, but the guys at MedMen say that even if you aren't looking for a high, a *little* THC makes the CBD work better. I buy a tincture, and sometimes gummies, to help with my back/tailbone pain. I always get the lowest dose of THC I can find (my current go-to tincture is 30:1 CBD:THC). And if she's anything like me, the THC will also promote sleepiness.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BTW, I have two more bluesky codes if anyone wants them.

Our wings are not tired.

Epic, I'm going to look into that option while I am still in New York because it isn't going to be an option in Florida.

Laura, if she were having problems with leg cramps, potassium might help, Or have her eat a banana - would she accept that?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I use the "Naternal" brand CBD gummies with elderberry extract for my achey knees and ankles. They're 10 mg CDB, but I cut them in half, so I take 5 mg/day. That's generally enough to keep my joints happy (so to speak), and more than that triggers my anxiety. Also, they're yummy, which doesn't hurt. No THC in them, though. That's not legal in my state.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

People in war zones can post about their lives all they want. We don't have many rules here, but I'm thinking that would pass without Bureau and its discontents. Puts an unwanted dental cleaning in perspective, but the persistent lack of access does add some gravitas to that nonsense, and worse, I often get mobility-management tips at the end, how I should do x, y, z like their mother-in-laws or some shit. No, you should do something so cleaning my teeth isn't Bataan. It's illegal what they have going, technically.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Ohio only has medical cannabis (although recreational is on the ballot next month [I don't have any sense about whether it's going to pass or not]), but the list of conditions covered for medical cannabis is fairly extensive. And I actually got my medical cannabis card for stupid IBS pain that's gotten worse and isn't responding to meds. In fact, I went to the dispensary for the first time last night (which, amusingly, shares a parking lot with a McDonald's). It was like a cross between a pharmacy, a laboratory (pronounced la-BOR-a-tory), and an Apple store. I got gummies, because I'd rather not smoke or vape, and I appreciate a good sour gummy. Now I need to figure out what dose will work to get my stupid GI tract to chill the fuck out.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Cucumbers and cantaloupes also have a lot of potassium. I think citrus does, too, so even drinking lemon water could help. Signed, perpetually on the edge of dehydration.

She does at least eat bananas! Her doctor said she could get a Medical card for Florida, but it seemed not worth it with her daughter and me in NY.

Hugs to all who want them, indeed. Echoing the chorus of appreciation for Shir and Nilly checking in when and how they can, without expectation.

(Autocorrect, you should know those names by now)

Love that dress, David.

Can I get some calm mojo~ma for this afternoon? I have a meeting with my immediate bosses at 4, also known as the company owners. It’s a chance for me to outline the support I need to do what is being asked of me, in addition to streamlining information flow and optimizing production time. And improving my work/life balance in a way that works for me.
