Day 25 (about) in Florida in a modest unit complete with electricity and WiFi. And the smallest goddamn shower I've ever been in.
I just snorted a line. Quite out of the ordinary till about 2 weeks ago. Have probably done 8 lines in that time with 2 or 3 more left in the pouch. That's cuz I couldn't score any regular pot (delta9THC kind). Though I have gone through a fair bit of what I might call faux pot since being stateside. I note that it was quite coincidental/random that I came across the opportunity to buy some powder - after a few disappointments trying to get delta9. A separate story. (tags - NYC Maarge, Kim's Alley Bar, Irish whiskey shots, urinal encounter)
Have actually been playing around / experimenting / exploring different consciousness altering shit this last couple of weeks.
It's to be noted that this is in the context of having a meaningfully long, statistically-relevant long, run with delta9THC. Arguably (and perhaps not convincingly) that would be a 50 year run. And easily the median frequency would have been at least once daily during that time.
'Manipulating consciousness' it might be called. I don't know how else to pin it down to a phrase.
I've long been fascinated by our (human's) ability to tweak, or disrupt normal consciousness.
Think cocktail hour - for my parents time.
For toddlers it's twirling around in a tight circle till you are dizzy and falling.
All self induced - messing with your own head. Which happens at a crazy nano, molecular level.
And for me this last 3 weeks I've been learning about, and trying, gummies and dried flower touting / declaring delta8THC, and THCa and a coulple of other variations as key psychotropic molecules.
These hold some promise, but are definitely lighter in their impact - as in one gets less fucked up.
I find it tough to believe the current state of affairs with pot. So much has changed recently. The legislation represents one basket of changes, pharmacology advances is another bucket, as is the cultural/societal situation.
Florida has its own regime. Yes to medicinal - with a doc's OK. No to recreational.
But the business folk have latched on to the THC variations as a pretty-close-workaround. Mostly, but not totally legal - plenty of room for 'interpretation'. Now all sorts of 'Vape Shops" have appeared, hustling this faux stuff, and getting quite a bit of traction.
Today I went to the Home Show at the main Convention Center in the region.
A little frustrating to get there, even though I had done my (some?) homework, on bus routes and bus stops.
The County has a decent passenger app - but regrettably I did not have access to it away from WiFi - as in anywhere outdoors. Next time I come here, I really should consider cell service, with data. Critical for Uber, bus apps, weather, maps, and other mobile (walk around) needs.
I was over 2 hours and 20 minutes to travel there. !!!
A 22 minute walk to the bus stop. Turns out it was the wrong stop by 75 meters. Cost me 45 minutes plus.
It was an hour 37 minutes waiting for the bus.
Then a 22 minute bus ride. ($1 - senior)
Then about a 20 minute walk to find the freaking place. No signs. Not pedestrian friendly. Indeed pedestrian hostile.
Then a little less than an hour and a half wandering about the show. Saw some neat stuff.
Live edge wood applications. Japanese screens - vertical operation. Quartzite slabs with light sources behind - to observe translucence. Every kind of recliner. Sparkling outdoor kitchens ($15k - $20k range). Rubberized, troweled on flooring ($16/sqft). Beach sand rugs. Pinball machine ($8k).
15 minutes to get an Uber., followed by an 18 minute ride.
Not a bad way to spend some time, seeing the business folk and their wares, and catching up on developments.
But this show was, frankly, underwhelming. I think I'd prefer a show with international aspirations and suppliers.
Then back to the nest.
All told, till then, 7,000 steps - a good day.
Nuff for this recording.
I might say, I have this clear sense that the snorted line gave me a little extra juice to advance this recording, without which there may have been little recorded.
