Yeah, I used to do the dry herb vapes. They were nice, but cleaning them was a chore. Never could afford a Volcano when I was still a regular smoker, but I inherited a dry herb pen vape from a buddy who upgraded. 10/10 would recommend (despite the cleaning required)

It definitely does hit you the same as regular delta-9 THC does, just not as strong/intense and doesn’t last as long. For me, that’s the draw. For my regular weed-smoking friends, it’s a common complaint.

If you do decide to try it for pain relief, I’ll warn you the distillate vapes are pretty harsh, so do little puffs. I like the gummies, myself, but they hit harder than the vapes (as with most THC edibles) and have to cut them into quarters to not get stupid high.

I have terrible knees that ache constantly, and these do help (though so did CBD, just without the head change I also wanted).

Please don’t take this as medical advice, lol, just my own experience.

yeah it’s really easy to regulate or even micro-dose with the little d8 pens. Prob one of my favorite things about them. The gummies, though, will still get you plenty dumb. I usually cut them into quarters (they’re fairly big) and that’s about where I want to be.

Hell yeah 💯 (and I dunno on the votes lol)

“I know you are but what am I?” Seriously?

If you’re so enamoured with GPT and having do your work and thinking for you, why didn’t you ask it to write you a pithy comeback?

I can’t remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you’re saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it’s not literally illegal to express.

You know what, mate, I give up. 🤦‍♂️

Ask chatgpt everything. Learn nothing, develop no new skills of your own, and let’s see what you regret on your deathbed. I’m willing to bet most people are going to regret not learning to paint, write, compose music, play an instrument, etc rather than regret all the things they didn’t get a bot to do for them.

this tech is getting better and will be a major part of how we interact with the world and eachother in the future.

Well that’s bloody terrifying, yeah? The tech is still young and people are already using it to avoid learning new things. It just churns out text that sounds correct but often isn’t and people just take it at its word. It has no more understanding of the text it shits out than a toddler who has learned to swear.

Look, mate, people are fuckin’ lazy and if there’s a shortcut, they’re gonna take it (Example). They’re not gonna fact check the magic bot because that’s work and defeats the purpose of using the magic answer-bot in the first place. I do not look forward to a world where intellectual curiosity dies at the hand of “let me just ask a bot to do it for me”. That’s not even getting into the use of it by malicious actors to influence the gullible or stupid or the massive carbon footprint for all the compute resources it takes to run those models.

Id like Lemmy to still be relevant in a few years. We shouldn’t shy away from new tech.

Agree on the first part, but heavily disagree on the second when it comes to bot-generated crap,

Oi, can we please leave the bot-generated shite on Reddit?
