I stuck with edibles and sub-lingual sprays. But they took too long to get going.

S I purchased a couple of joints. They worked pretty fast, but the high was here and gone in about 30 minutes. It just wasn't worth inhaling all that smoke.

So I'm sticking to candy. I just start early enough on a day off that it wears off by the time I need to actually do anything...

Well, then... seshers May 2018 #1
