OK, I'll start with him declaring he will be a dictator. Source please? Never mind - i found it. “We love this guy,” Trump said of Hannity. “He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’” That comment said in jest riles you. It isn't presidential but we are talking about Trump. He thinks these comments are funny. I can get over this easily. Maybe that is a bad thing 🙂

I get it - you hate the dude. I don't but do find him offensive and silly. He can have his moments and maybe trying to find the moments might help you get a better perspective why he is so popular with many Americans. I was disgusted in 2016 when he was elected but slowly have learned to listen to what he is saying as hard as it was in the beginning. I still find him to be mean and petty but not all bad. His "ever" quotes for some reason still rile me but oh well. Highest IQ ever, lowest unemployment ever, best economy ever.... I think you are going to be suffering through the not so best ever election later this year.

That's how it is for me. My partner doesn't indulge so she is ready at night and I'm pulling out my Kindle and ready to read a book.

I don't think this is long term break but it might be. I don't get addicted to things easily so quitting is easy and as you stated a week off probably has benefits. Even having sex with a beautiful women can become routine and I enjoy sex much more than being high. My point - all activities become boring if you don't get your mind in the right place which luckily I have always been able to do even if it takes me time to get there.

I get your perspective but we are very different which is fine. I can't smoke all day and even if I could, wouldn't. My lungs would be a mess which isn't the case for many more fortunate individuals. I could take edibles all day but I enjoy most days and love my life the way it is without edibles. Not saying it is perfect but I'm blessed to be in my place in life. Not for all but it works for me. You possess more weed knowledge than I ever will. It sounds like you have had a great journey - congrats!

Funny, probably right and as I stated it is a break. I don't use much and don't smoke anymore because my lungs were starting to cause problems. Constant hacking which evolved into having a hard time breathing. I exercise often and have a mild case of exercised induced asthma. I measure everything (strange I know) and I measure exactly .1 gram of about 20-25 THC which for me equates to about a gram if smoked. This dose literally floored me initially but not now. Edibles are my preferred method and it isn't even close.

Thanks for the input. My situation is mor extreme than most. I live in a beautiful part of the country with a great partner but it on the edge of nowhere Thailand. It has been an interesting experience the last 4 years but easy to slip into an unhealthy mental state if I don't stay active physically and mentally. I only used at night but I was motivationally challenged well into the next day. My 5:30am runs are now at 11am in the heat which is stupid. A pleasant experience evolved into a punishment 🙂

Anyone watch the All In Podcast with him last week. He was not the terrible person he has a habit of being. If he has roughly 50% then I could see him picking up another couple percent if he keeps behaving. Weird times and I'm thinking he may be our next President.

Why? Just asking a question and wondering if other got the same clarity when they stopped for a few days. Are you thinking about taking a break? Is it a bad thing to take a break? Do you have issues with others that are bored with the high?

It is odd how different people react. I know people that run races after smoking which I would find nearly impossible. And as the other poster mentioned, having sex stoned is not ideal in my case but to each his own. Odd, some posters seem to be upset with my experience. Strange... AseanNow is more a contest of how to be the most insulting( not you) which is sad a reflection on those getting a rush from it.

No, just a healthy person asking a question. Seems like the you and the posters above enjoy tearing down people. I feel much better now and as I stated , will be back to using but the break is pleasant. Have a nice day.

OOPs -Sorry. This was a reply to your first post on this thread. Need to get to sleep. Dog bit is funny. A few months back they wanted 40k baht for a prize fighting rooster they claimed our dog killed. Our dog does and has killed many chickens that get on our property but this was a kilometer away! They were too embarrassed to make the claim to me and went to the village head. He just laughed and basically told them they were reaching and sorry for their loss. As for the monk's, I was running fast past one today that he shouted at me. Am I supposed to stop and get to my knees when passing? Maybe he was just having fun with me. A couple in the area are drinkers which is odd but think that is rare. Most people here are cool but a few don't like me for some reason. Only a few and I have never said more than a few words to them. Makes me wonder but I get over it quick enough. Enjoy your posts.

I think most get this but you have no clue how the new tax regs will be implemented. That is why this keeps going full circle and I stated this on the first thread months ago. Everybody has to relax. In all likelihood this will amount to nothing for 99% of expats here. Mike keeps TRYING to clarify but it gets nowhere because he doesn't have a clue how it will be implemented. If it makes you feel better to assume the worst case scenario - up to you. Preparing for the worst outcome while ignoring the most likely is ridiculous. I can only assume Thais are pissing themselves at our insane fear. I know I am. These threads are hilarious and expect Thai government officials to come up with more scenarios that cause us to wet our selves for the pure entertainment value.

I think he is going to surprise many people. He has set the bar quite low which sets him up for success. Also, the competition is mentally challenged. It will be an exciting debate because both are unhinged. the <removed> mentally is superior by a long shot so Biden demise is almost a certainty. Trump during the last few weeks( possibly last few days) is seeming more Presidential. Hard to ignore his prior shenanigans...

Sure I'll be back using but it feels so good at the moment. Anybody feel this way when taking a break? It got to be too routine and wasn't really providing any pleasure so I stopped. It became nearly impossible to spend quality time in the evenings with my sober partner because I was in a veg state after 8pm. Also doing more and my to do list is actually shrinking. Filed my 2022 taxes! Probably 2023 this week and might add a new exercise room to the home. I wonder why booze has no impact on my motivation while weed really slows me down.

I'm also a proud American. Yep 1968 was wonderful. The good old days of black having to sit in back of busses, Vietnam war, higher murder rate than the today, assassination of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King... What a year. We have come a long way and hard to imagine dropping napalm on villages. Selective memory? I do it all the time so just saying you do also 🙂

I only remember dreams a few times each year and my wife remembers her nightly dreams in detail. I'm a light drinker and smoke a little weed each night. Assume this is the reason.

We eat for pleasure and nutrients are a second thought in most cases. Vegans that are healthy sacrifice food pleasure or are exercise fanatics that can get the carb rush at every meal. Lots of young fat and soft vegans that are going to not age well. Do know some very fit ones though.

You are correct but it so close to being complete it really doesn't matter IMO. The protein might be slightly less efficiently processed compared to a slab of meat ( E.g., 30g Pea equals 27g meat). For my lifestyle, I need a high carbs and high protein diet and the pea protein is he easiest manner to get in a quality protein quickly and it is extremely inexpensive. One meat heavy meal at lunch and terrible tasting pea protein at the bookends of each day works for me.

It is quite disgusting and cruel but I easily get over my reservations each and every meal. Wish there were better alternatives and having worked on cattle and pig farms I know how horrific the treatment of the animals can be. Not routine abuse but it is hard to avoid cruelty when chasing dollars. Just had my pea protein shake which was extremely healthy and terrible to the last gulp. Tasty burger only a few hours away.

Really? Petty mood today? France has good eats - feel better... Europe rules!!!!

I think most people are liars. I was a prolific liar 5 years ago and not now. Still lie on rare occasions but can't remember the last lie which is a good thing I think. We do whatever we can justify and convince ourselves of our personal righteousness. It's an entertaining game we all play.

But the fake penises aren't attached to a person. Not the same? I'm not outraged regardless.

From your perspective it is messed up. I think many men get off dominating females and use anal sex as the means. I just don't feel the need to be dominate. From my perspective we are all grungy animals trying to be civilized because it is convenient to do so at the moment. If we experienced Armageddon we would resort to our base instincts and then we all would realize evil on a whole different level.

99% of Your infantile insults are quite boring but that caused me to spit coffee all over my keyboard. "Shagged out wizard sleeves" would have been a more interesting topic for your OP.
