Last night I went over to my friend from college's house. He's super into weed, biggest pothead I know, and we smoked a ton of dabs. I paced myself and ended up having the best weed high I've had in... I don't even know how long. It was awesome.

My friend is also doing awesome, he's selling real estate, working for a company that is really successful, and has started and runs their cannabis business (the state I grew up in is days away from recreational legalization). He's going to fancy parties with high rollers and stuff, making big bank. I'm really proud of him, though not surprised. He gave me a bunch of pre-rolls and stuff that I'm really not going to have the opportunity to smoke, except maybe one (if any of my brother's friends still smoke, at the Chriastmas Eve party). He also told me he flies 3-4 times a month, all over the country, and that TSA no longer cares about weed. He says he always has personal weed/concentrates at airports and they always take it out and look at it and give it back. He showed me an article about how Chicago TSA has been told to not do anything about personal amounts of weed. I'm flying out of Chicago. I can't help but feel paranoid about it because of conditioning, but it makes sense.
He also says, trust me, it's going to be federally legal very soon. I mean I knew that but it's cool to hear it from someone involved in things. The big money is in, the tobacco companies are in. As much as it's a shame that the big companies have taken the industry over, it is a good thing for end users because it means it's definitely happening, and soon.
I know what you mean, although I've become a lot more patient with that sort of thing over the years. It used to bother me, but then I realized that those mundane interactions are just as much a part of the trip as anything else. They can lead you down some roads of introspection that you never would have otherwise discovered.
Agreed. Back in the day I used to basically only trip alone (or with a friend sometimes, or not alone but be the only one tripping around my partner or a friend), but at some point I started desiring to trip around people. At first it was to challenge myself, force myself to deal with social situations. It really helped me to grow in my self-confidence and social skills. When I was tripping far too often, I even used to take psychedelics at work while in an office environment. Once I got comfortable with that, I really have never had any issues tripping around other people since, or dealing with stuff that comes up. Not that I recommend tripping at your job. 8)
