I am back from vacation and it was so nice to see family and friends again. I will do a separate post about my family. You know, the Mom I talk about on here at times and my Father who is staying there with Mom and my Step-Dad. My family get's it's own post. LOL.
So Syracuse, New York and the surrounding areas have not changed much. I did not see any new surveilance devices. There were some changes state-wide however we didn't know about. No more plastic bags at the stores. You have to bring a bag or buy a reusable one form them. Or...no bag at all if you like. The other big change is weed is 100% legal. No card needed. There are weed shops popping up everywhere. Of course, NY gets to tax it. Not just the sales tax but an additional tax like they do with beer and cigarettes there.
TASTY!!! Of course I had to chomp into one of those.
Everyone brought a dish to share and here is my plate of food. Mind you this is the only meal of the day for me.
Notice the little brown thing. That's a brownie. I love chocolate. So after my coney I went straight to the brownie. I started eating the rest of my meal when Hubby looked over and said, "Did you eat one of those brownies?"
"Yeah"
"All of it?" he asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"Let me know how you feel" and he giggles.
"Oh, I though she just used some sort of Dutch chocolate or something."
Believe it or not, I don't always put 2 and 2 together. Not right away anyway. I mean, they were just talking about cooking with it and pot brownies are a well known and a party item. Ghee. Naive Squirrelbait. It never occurred to me they would make pot brownies. It should have and I should have asked. I was concerned because I had plans the next day and didn't want to be down with a migraine. I brought herbs (feverfew) in case I had a problem on the trip but it can only do so much. I have never eated it before so I had no idea what to expect.
So what happened Squirrelbait?!
Nothing. That's right nothing. Thankfully no headache of any kind then or later but it did nothing for me. I must be immune to it's effects. Bummer really. It would have been nice to feel good without the headache. Guess I will not be buying gummies.
All in all it was a good time and it was wonderful to see these folks again. They are all good people and I missed them. We caught one another up on our lives. Turns out all but 2 didn't take the injection and the two that did only had one. The VA hospital required it for a needed surgery and her husband took it with her thinking they will face it together whatever it does. Romantic really.
Well that's enough for now. I will post the rest tomorrow.
Missed all of you and I will be spending a good part of the day catching up. I still have 85 emails to go through.

Sometimes people get no effect the first 1 or 2 times consuming cannabinoids orally. Either that, or they didn't cook the brownies at a high enough temperature to decarboxylate the THC.
Oh. I did not know that. Thanks. Sometimes I wonder if taking it orally would be helpful during an auto-immune flare. Ginger works well for me for inflammation thankfully but does nothing for pain and muscle spasms. Takes time for inflammation to calm down. Tensing up from pain makes the pain worse so a relaxant can help which advil is not. It's something I have been considering. Eventually it will be legal to just purchase everywhere.
Thankfully I am doing really well right now. I am over the latest flare. I hope to not have an issue for a long time! I am keeping the ginger up twice daily for awhile longer to be sure.
Well, even if you do it "wrong" with cannabinoids, you generally get some positive benefits anyway, and don't suffer major unwanted effects. Yes, I think taking an oral dose during flareups would help. I've known quite a few people who got through bad flareups that way. Good call on the ginger. @MediKatie picked up some organic turmeric capsules today.
Sounds like a good old upstate NY gathering. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I'm also glad you're back!
