A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Everybody should use a flower vaporizer like G Pen. Clean hits, low dose, and none of the crap that’s in concentrates.
Compared to what I even had when I was a kid as a millennial, these vape pens are wild. Dabbing all the time. It’s like casually taking shots of alcohol. There is such thing as marijuana abuse and even addiction.
G pens are okay, pax are okay. Honestly they are all very mid in comparison to the Airizer products. The air max I have or whatever its called is the closest flower vape Ive ever had to smoking, easiest to use and clean, and I beat the shit out of it smoking multiple times a day and it still works great after almost two years
Have a look at dynavap as well. I like arizer for session vapes, but dynavap is awesome for on-demand hits and feels closer to smoking than any other method I've tried (other than smoking)
Thanks I’ll check it out!
EDIT: woah that shits expensive
In some cases, people are using medical marijuana. It's strange to point out someone else's frequency of medication usage throughout the day, don't ya think? Having the ease of a vape cart is no reason to be worried. Know your dosage and stick to it.
I’m not talking about medicinal users. The overwhelming majority of people smoking weed are using it recreationally. Weird comment.
Remember not all studies on the health effects of substance use are there to advocate that the substance be made illegal. Smoking as a example is still around and there are countless studies available to the public to make informed decisions.
Substance use should be up to the individual like all choices that can effect you directly, "my body my choice" so to say. All individuals should have access to all knowledge available freely and without prejudice.
Studies on cannabis use becoming more common should be seen as a good thing, as cannabis use has become less taboo and thus easier to study without researcher receiving backlash.
Now you may disagree with some studies, and that is your right. But to advocate against studies related to the substance IMO at least is hypocritical, as it advocates against the very thing that made the substance legal.
I am a non-smoker and have not tried cannabis, but believe people should have the freedom to choose
It's totally not the potency of natural cannabis. It is the user's lifestyle and world around him/her. Like how shrooms are banned because not everybody reads the recommended dosage and somebody on reddit already posted about taking a kilogram of dried shrooms, your eyes will look like cherries.
A kilogram? I struggle to get a few grams down! And I think anyone who managed to eat that much would end up puking it all out in short order. It sounds like a very expensive way to waste a lot of perfectly good drugs.
I don't think a kilo of shrooms would fit in my stomach.
