I live in California where it's legal so I can sample the various wares to see what works best. The dab pen's are cheap but much too harsh. Edibles take too long to come on and it's hard to get the dose right. I've gone

This is great and also what I practice. I've tried to explain it to people with limited success, but I think you do a good job here. This type of awareness has a long tradition. Ancient Sanskrit scholars and Buddha discuss this, as wel

I just started studying the topic. I also don't know how to do brain surgery, but I'm confident with enough schooling and study I could do it. With Bitcoin I don't need satoshi level understanding, I just need to know enough
