Good morning chickens.

Nice day. Might have to leave the house. Should probably make it early before Glasgow gets swamped with Liam Gallagher fans.

yes, this. I spent the majority of the last 5 days on my bike, swimming, playing tennis and in the gym.

And it's a brutal reminder than I'm not 22 anymore :D

Excellent. No Notes.

:disco:
 
until yesterday I went 37 days without smoking weed while travelling etc. usually in Amsterdam I smoke 3-5x a week. anyway I smoked last night while making dinner. I couldn't wake up this morning and no doubt the swim later will be tough.

am I GROWING OUT OF WEED? I love the feeling of being stoned but I also recognise that it renders me USELESS and I think I would be very happy with smoking once a week at most.

anyway happy friday folks :disco:

I’m in my gym stuff but its going to be a few bodyweight exercises at home today.

I mean its probably something to do with my nightly dips into the never ending glastonbury bag as well, but still, I’m blaming the physical activity. 😂

a bag is for Glasto, NOT for every night

Its all to do with your ECS. When you keep putting cannabinoids into your system your body adjusts the amount it produces internally and then when you remove them it counters that. So you get used to it and then a break knocks your body out of whack when you reintroduce cnnabinoids again.

I find weed much more enjoyable when I’m dipping in and out.
 
It doesnt help that I’m really quiet until next week workwise too. Why not get into a 2:30 khole if you’ve got the spare time?

Yeah, a friend of mine took a deliberate break because they felt they weren't even getting that much of a hit any more. They were essentially paying to get the sensation of getting out of a hot bath too quickly and this was, at minimum, not good value for money.

I’ve been taking a break from weed since Sunday (which is the longest I’ve taken in years) and I actually have been feeling well rested. I was pretty much smoking as soon as I got home from work and then all day on the weekends, which isn’t GREAT, so I’m trying to cut down. I’m thinking maybe just weekend evenings would be better…
 
I just feel that without really realising it, weed becomes a crutch. I don't think it's particularly unhealthy as a drug, but I think it's unhealthy to have crutches like that in general. being in London a month, not smoking at all, drinking much less than usual, and feeling perfectly satisfied, I just think... why revert to those habits? I know I can go without. so that's driving me for sure.

but let's see when the really hot weather hits (if it hits) :eyes:
 
Well it’s hot as fuck here, like every summer, but that just makes me want to drink beer outside (none of this sounds great :D)

They really are habits, so a change in routine can be so good. I think weed does a lot of good for people, but I want it to be something extra, not just a part of my routine. Or a crutch. Especially for boredom, because that just leads to other times feeling more boring.

I guess I’ll just have to spend a month in London to really see :disco:
 
HMV sale is a bit crap, mainly expensive vinyl being brought down to the merely overpriced but Fopp had some good CD bargains - "Vulnicura Strings" for £3? Oh, alright then.
 
We're in Birmingham and have had a look in one HMV. How many times have the various releases of Kylie's Golden and Step Back In Time been in the sale now?

Vinyl editions of Golden and Disco were £10 each in Fopp.

I find that if I’m high every day I don’t appreciate how nice being high is. When I have a break, come back and dip in and out its fucking amazing.

Case in point, on the wedenday night at glastonbury before it all starts I had an edible after not really getting high for a few weeks and we went out, ate some amazing food, bought some vintage festival clothes and ended up finding some weird chillout space in greenpeace with the comfiest seats and aquatic projections. I was just dead stoned, happy and floaty. It felt like I’d found heaven.

Not sure if its popular over there, but I’ve been sent some samples of cbd weed. Its essentially low thc bud, like a non alcoholic beer, and you do feel relaxed from it, but just not a proper headfucked high.

Its very popular in France and Italy, its like coke zero weed.
 
How popular is weed in Europe? I feel like less than in the US but I could be wrong

Yeah that’s what I want to try to do. So it’s something fun or thought provoking, not a crutch or routine

Deffos getting more mainstream, its hugely consumed, but nowhere really has a weed culture like in the states and Canada. Maybe the Dutch would be the exception to that rule, but Europeans as a whole still keep it fairly underground in comparison.
 
When I buy a reggae album, I do not expect to hear Mick Jagger's voice. At least put a warning sticker on the cover, eh?

I didn't expect anything but it did something - I was convinced it was placebo but after a few tries it can't be!
 
Miss DC woke up this morning and noticed a tiny leak in the kitchen. I told him to call the landlady but instead he insisted we go and buy a special TAPE. Fast forward a couple of hours later, the tiny leak is now a proper leak and Miss DC is running around looking for landlady’s number, the insurance and a plumber.
