        I dip a tampon in THC oil and insert it in my anus. Learned it on fox news.

        Unfortunately, this is inspired from a real stupid thing some young people did but with alcool. Goes too fast in their bloodstream and some supposedly ended up in a coma.

          I have to believe that that’s a myth. Just thinking about it for 2 seconds makes believe that nobody has ever done it. Why? Tampons have to be compressed inside an applicator for insertion. If you leave one inside the tube, it won’t soak up enough liquid to matter. Take it out of the tube and soak it in liquid, well, now it’s a puffed up, soggy mess. Good luck getting that into an orifice.

            It is called ‘boofing’ and the number of people that do it is more than 0. Because of how the body absorbs substances that way, people can get a stronger effect than consuming them orally.

      Also I would consider myself addicted. I use it daily, notice withdrawal symptoms when I abstain (no appetite, nausea, insomnia) but I’m also productive, started my own business 8 months ago and I’m doing well, no one around me has any idea except those I choose to let know lol. I’m high all day no one can tell. Its not like other drugs lol

          You really can’t tell if you don’t know the person. I have a bright, weird personality and ADHD and work at a dispensary. People often think I’m high, assume that it’s part of my vibe, but I’m strictly no THC during the day. Meanwhile, one of my most down to earth, serious, no nonsense coworkers does dabs before work and on all her breaks. Nobody thinks she is high all the time, but she’s often the most THC filled person in the building.

    The CDC’s post:

    Another study estimated that people who use cannabis have about a 10% likelihood of becoming addicted.2

    The citation:

      It’s worth noting that cannabis was the least addictive of the substances analyzed in this study, almost a third as likely as alchohol:

      The cumulative probability estimate of transition to dependence was 67.5% for nicotine users, 22.7% for alcohol users, 20.9% for cocaine users, and 8.9% for cannabis users.

      CDC rounding 8.9% up to 10% seems a bit suspicious to me

    I tried to snort a line of weed once, almost died. It got into my trachea and I started choking. I should have known marijuana was deadly!

      That seems really low. I’m not proficient with marijuana and all its forms so bear with me.

      But I would imagine even smoking a joint would go well past that temp. And people been smoking joints for decades with desirable effects. When I ask Google what was the temperature of smoldering it said 450 to 700 C.

      Granted I don’t entirely understand what’s going on in this picture.
