Dragon eggs and dftodd I pray for your sons. And I pray for my 2 sons and 1 daughter that they can do enough right to be happy. I have done drugs, weren't really for me. I drink beer alot. I also work ALOT at home and ALOT at work (average 60hrs/week). I currently dont smoke pot because of work.

I dont know what causes people to make their choices, but they make them, then live with it. The whole nature vs nurture thing has me wondering.....

Truth is sometimes inconvenient .

 

[lilranch2001]

yes it is, some day you will personally find that out!

Skips a bunch of posts and fugtusslin' ......


Took a few puffs off a couple of things when I was younger and dumber. Just a couple, literally before I figured it wasn't a whole lot better that sucking on a tailpipe of a running diesel.

Pills ? I hate 'em all. Don't even take aspirin unless I'm really aching from doing something outside. Go to the dentist, get some work done and they give me a 'scrip for 20 or so Hydrocodone. I take 3 or 4 to get thorough the next might and day, then no more. I probably have 5 bottles with a few each in them, old and probably stale now. Yet people were paying upwards of $10/pill on street corners for them. No idea why.

Drink a bit, usually a shot in some kind of juice, maybe some Ryan's during holidays. Don't remember that last time I got 'drunk'. Just not my goal.

I drink beer alot. I also work ALOT at home and ALOT at work

Now if only I could get people to know that is NOT a word, my mission in life would be complete.

I see where some little snowflake (age 18) is suing Juul, the leading vaping company because he believes his lungs are destroyed. Wow. He claims, and actually admits he bought nicotine liquid when he was underage. Probably ought to prosecute him for that, since he admitted it and all. .. So he wants into the the pocket of "big vape". Yeah we will see how far that gets him. He said the problems began when he started filling his vape pen with THC (active ingredient in MJ) oils. Yeah that he got off of a drug dealer on the street. Good luck with that. In my opinion what a maroon (bugs bunny speak for moron). He related that "everyone else was doing it" as his reason for starting vaping.

Personally I think we need more hoopleheads like him in the world. The predators need prey after all.
If he wants to sue someone, how about suing his parents for not knocking some sense into his empty head. Or maybe since he is now an adult, (ain't that a laugh) he can sue himself. Yeah, 18 year olds are "adults". They can vote and everything. They just can't think. At least a lot of them. Color me among the unsympathetic. Anyone young or old that knowingly and willingly draws anything into their lungs but clean air is a hooplehead. And if that offends any smokers in this crowd, it was meant to. Sue indeed.

Reports are starting to come in. Seems the vast majority of these medical cases are due to vaping THC oils (and waxes whatever they are). Of course the lawsuits will pile in against legitimate products (that have been used by millions of people for years) solely on the "deep pockets".

Vaping cartridge operation busted

Believed to be one of the largest in the nation

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel NETWORK

MILWAUKEE – Two Wisconsin brothers were charged Monday in a massive counterfeit THC vaping cartridge operation.

Tyler T. Huffhines, 20, and Jacob D. Huffhines, 23, of Paddock Lake, face numerous charges including possession of THC with the intent to deliver, maintaining a drug trafficking place, identity theft, possession of a firearm by a felon and cocaine possession. According to the criminal complaint: Tyler Huffhines admitted starting his THC vape cartridge business on Jan. 28, 2018, the same day he took a picture of his business to post on Instagram. He told detectives that he didn’t smoke marijuana but saw a good business opportunity by purchasing THC vape cartridges in California for $2.50 each where they are legal and bringing them back to Wisconsin to sell for $15 apiece.

Tyler Huffhines admitted he figured out he could boost profits by buying empty vape cartridges and jars of liquid THC and paying 10 workers to fill them.

He said he flew to California during Labor Day weekend with $300,000 in cash to buy liquid THC. Plus he posted photos on Snapchat of himself flying in first class, saying he was in California.

Employees working out of a condo in the Village of Bristol that Tyler Huffhines acquired in early August for the operation cranked out 3,000 to 5,000 counterfeit vaping cartridges each day.

Instead, the cartridges contained as much as 1,000 mg of THC – more than 150 times what the label indicated, authorities said. Tyler Huffhines told detectives he sold 100 THC cartridges at a time for $15 each, earning $500 to $800. He said he recently decided to change his minimum sale to 500 cartridges.

The criminal complaint does not reveal to whom Tyler Huffhines sold the cartridges, which sell on the street for around $35 each.

Tyler Huffhines leased the condo and registered for utilities in the name and Social Security number of a Las Vegas man who confirmed to authorities that he didn’t authorize anyone to use his name and Social Security number.

Tyler Huffhines told detectives that he didn’t know the man whose identity was used for the condo but got the man’s personal information by paying “some guys in California” about $2,000.

During the investigation, detectives discovered numerous photos and videos Tyler Huffhines posted on Snapchat showing garbage cans, totes and boxes filled with THC cartridges as well as dozens of pound bags of marijuana bud.

During searches of the condo and the home where the brothers lived with their mother, authorities found loaded guns, cocaine, 31,200 cartridges each filled with around 1 gram of THC, 98,000 unfilled cartridges, roughly 12 1 ⁄ 2 gallons of

refined liquid THC, 18 1 ⁄ 2 pounds of marijuana, and three money counting machines.

The huge counterfeit THC vaping cartridge operation, believed to be one of the largest of its kind in the nation, came to light after the parents of a high school student contacted police.

Authorities are working with federal agents to determine whether the cartridges are tied to any of the deaths or illnesses across the country that doctors have suspected were tied to vaping.

On Monday, health officials in California announced the death of a person from complications from vaping. The death is the seventh attributed to complications related to use of e-cigarettes.

Every now and then I get a good tip from TBN. Over the last few years I had a few surgeries and the Dr. would give me Hydrocodone or Oxycodone. I love them. I use as prescribed and then used some extra. Whenever I would go back for a check-up I would get some more just in case I needed them for pain even though I had a 4 month supply.

Although, for my pain, I could live without them I kept getting more if allowed. I would just stash them someplace because they were cheap. I knew they were addictive and were a huge problem in society. But I still would get more if I had the chance.

Luckily for me I just stopped using them unless I absolutely need to take a few. My wife hid them because one of our sons was to use our house for a week while we were gone, just in case he was a user. Ya never know.

Because of this thread I will definitely get rid of them.
