how much weed should a begining smoker buy?
i'm thinking around $10 worth will give me a good start off. also just give me any advice so i dont get ripped off or shit
You've never smoked it before?
Do you have any friends who smoke it? Before you spend your money, talk to them about it, and see if they will smoke you out. This way you can find out if you really enjoy it. If you do, they may also be able to set you up with a stable source, so you don't have to walk around looking for a pimply-faced teenager to sell you a dime bag and potentially get busted in the act.
You should also at least skim through the information in erowid.org's cannabis section:
Weed is the sort of hobby that can soon turn into an obsession. Please be careful, OP.
measureing in dollar amounts is fail. $5 dollars is a gram only if u assume regs or crypie. a gram of G13 will cost $15-$30. Quality determines price. Unless you have a very nice dealer. I would star off with about 2 grams of silver haze. roughly $25
You are funny. And most cops use their drugs they seize.
>>10
The OP was speaking in dollar amounts, too. Not everyone has access to crazy mad varieties of weed all the time. Most dealers can get you regs or chronic. Some kind of kush if you're lucky.
>>11
Whether or not the cops smoke the weed they seize or not is irrelevant. Arranging drug deals with strangers over the internet is pretty much the dumbest idea ever.
>>12 Chronic is a term used for different things, please elaborate
ie, it could be a specific kind of weed, just a "really strong" batch, or weed laced with crack or cocaine
I've never really heard chronic used in a sense other than a "really strong batch"
id est weed that was properly grown (males removed and shit like that)
I mean, I've been smoking for about ten years, and I've had several different dealers since I move around a bit. That being said, most dealers I've had will ask if I want regs or chronic.
Don't smoke weed every day
smoke a huge bowl every couple of weeks and blow your mind out. Smoking every day cheapens it. Every experience is unique and beautiful. (Something that applies to ALL experiences, not just smoking pot)
then take that with you and go live life man
Seriously though, don't look at weed as a hobbie, unless you're talking about growing weed (if that's the case, go hog wild. There may be a secret grower's club in your area which you will find a useful resource).
Instead, look at it as a very special experience, and perhaps even a tool to understand other things.
(Note: I am extremely fucking high right now.)
I'm debating whether I should travel with my laptop this summer, when I am going to Canada and later France this summer. I already have the different travel plugs, and bringing it will definitely make life easier in communicating and making sure the travel plans I make are good. But then it is always inconvienet carrying a laptop. You have to take it out at the checkpoint at the airports, and it's also delicate and people might steal it.
So what are you guys' take on traveling with laptop? Maybe I should just leave it at home instead?
Just bring your laptop with you.
lol wuts a raptup? ^_^
thanks for the lack of help, you couple of jackasses. you know if you don't reply, it's all right. why do you feel you need to reply with stupid shits for answers?
Its probably not worth it. If I were you, I'd use internet cafes. It might cost more, but theres a 0% chance of your laptop being stolen.
If you're taking it solely to communicate with people, don't bother. Just take your cellphone and use net cafes. Stick your plans on Google Calendars or on your phone, or in a small notepad. Extra weight, extra bother, extra shit you don't need.
Before you go, use something like truecrypt so those TSA fucks do not get ahold of your data. They have been demanding passwords and copying data of off laptops.
Also, hid any icons and remove the menus from the start bar and hide the folders from regular view of where the truecrypt software is. You also can create "fake" encryption drives to throw the dumb bastards off.
Good luck and FUCK the TSA.
Get an EEE PC. No problem carrying that around.
I have always wondered about that. It seems like some weeaboo only wants "authentic" Japanese things, ie Japanese girls, Japanese music, and Japanese people to be friends with, while others seem like they'll take anything/anyone that is Asian. This guy I know is dating a Chinese girl, and he's weeaboo. So, does it depend on the individual weeaboo? Or will they accept all things Asian (Japanese being the best)?
Only japan only.////////////////////////////////////////////
Only japan only.////////////////////////////////////////////
Most only like Japanese things, in fact, I think they look down on other Asians just because they have the idea that everything in Japan is better. But there are a few who will also like Korean or Chinese things, and date Korean and Chinese chicks, probably because they can't get Japanese girls.
God, I hate weeaboos.
>>44
Yup, this Anon say the the truth. I date with a Chinese recently because living and going to Japan is expensive (btw...she looks like Tanaka Reina! She's kawaii!!!). She is is now a supporting actor in a Taiwan movie.I meet her during my college days and was shocked that she is a star! ^^
Question: Is Japanophile is some sort of the simptoms that able to turns u into a weeaboo? I was wondering about that....
I have a friend who is Japanese, and she tells me there are always random weirdos who contact her on facebook, adding her to be a friend and writing in broken Japanese, trying to impress her. it's totally creepy. I just find it so sad these otherwise normal people get so obsessed over a place they have never been and probably will not be in for a long time and they become this type of loser who doesn't have anything else to do than randomly hitting on Japanese girls on facebook.
from what is said in this thread, weeaboos are non- japanese men who are obsessed with anime and getting a japanese girlfriend...?
i'm a female who has always been interested in various world cultures... i've researched a lot of places- ireland, turkey, greece, egypt, russia. i've also been very interested in asia- japan/ korea/ china/ taiwan/ india/ thailand/ etc. i think it started as a food thing ;).
my interest has definitely leaned towards japan over the years i've listened to a lot of japanese music (actually i listen to a lot of international music), watched a bit of anime, watched asian (not just japanese) movies & tv dramas. i was actually supposed to go to japan for a summer art course, and backed out because i felt guilty going without my husband.
so does that make me a despicable weeaboo? i'm not sure what's wrong with exploring other cultures...?
>>48
i agree what IS wrong with exploring other cultures?
I don't think there's anything wrong with it but some people do it in such a way it annoys others and appears to be unhealthy.

It's the kinds of people pictured on that page that make it annoying.
Let's make tripcodes a hobby.
Test test
=D this is actually fun
What is a trip code?
>>12, please see http://wakaba.c3.cx/docs/docs.html#TripCodes
SECURE TRIPCODES FTW
Could be fun
oyeah
Wait what
How bad do you have to be before you can be branded as an otaku? What if you only like a couple of manga titles and a couple of anime titles but don’t even own any game systems, will you still be considered an otaku?
>>51
NO Ü
DAPANESEN ÜBERMENSCH
>>52 wins the thread.
So, back to the original topic: what if you only own a few anime and manga titles? Certainly that doesn't count as an obsession, right? Indeed, I know some well-rounded people who are surprisingly well-schooled in anime.
But at the same time, it's not like Star Trek, where everyone watches it, but a few people know the trivia and own the ears and the model ships. And most Americans don't know what "otaku" means.
Japanese media isn't something you ever hear anyone bring up at the local sports bar in the US. People don't put "I like NASCAR, scuba diving, and anime" in their personal ad.
So there's definitely a point at which you'll start to "lose" a percentage of society. So what is it you're really afraid of?
Are you afraid of being an otaku because they don't get women? Or because of the kind of women they get? Are you ashamed of the friends you have?
me ota
sage
can u call it other than "otaku"? i kind of taboo word sometimes
it kind of taboo word sometime

oh and the robotic face, so similar!
This thread is awesome! I would like to subscribe for 12 months.
Wow, the similarity is striking.
But who has the balls to go up against Disney?
The bear cavalry would take them on I bet.
Well, they already stole the Lion King so I wouldn't put it past them...
Seems Disney began to rape anime characters now on! Wat a shame 4 such a legendary animation pioneer!
If she sings in the movie I'm going to RAAGE
I need your opinions! I've been getting into photography for the past year and I just need some feedback on my photos, I found a site where I posted up some of them and after looking at everyone elses, theirs are so much better than mine. I just need some advice, tips, etc. You know, now that I think of it, I'm more of a journalistic photographer (I think that's what they're called).
They all look a bit plain!? Surreal House is ok, the Cheerio pic is a bit strange.. how about taking pics of landscapes not of single objects?
Ah, a hobbies board. First post!

Which online stores sell full trading figure sets?
I collect Final Fantasy figures, DBZ figures, Gundam, and Bleach figures. (also a couple other random ones here and there.)
So far my figure collection is someone over 150 XD
>>70
Woah! Where do you keep them? I've got a few and they're in pretty bad condition.. left to gather dust on a shelf.. not to mention figure droop which I should get around to fixing. (hairdryer+cold water?)
Note: meant to write "somewhere" instead of someone lol in the end.
>>71
I keep the majority of my DBZ collection on the very top of my larger bookshelf. I took about 2 hours one day setting them all up there perfectly. I've collected almost every single one since one of the first series came out. (not the BanDai figures though). They are all the 5 to 6 inch figures, (or less if we're talking kid trunks, etc.) Bigger ones from other series are kept on the sides. The space in which they are kept is about 3 1/2 feet long horizontally, and about 1 foot wide. I have others though that are of less quality, or different versions of the ones on display in my room, that I keep in a drawer.
I have 4 Bleach figures, they reside on my dresser in between collectible soundtracks from Final Fantasy on display in my room.
Also, what I am most proud of, is my Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts Square Arts and Play Arts collections. I am only missing Reno, Kadaj, Selphie, and Balthier. They are kept on the top of one of my other bookshelves in here. ^_^
Also I misposted that number. Its actually more close to being between 100-120 i'd say.
Argh I cannot wait for my Nagato Yuki action figurine hell yes this will be awesome.
I finally got my Haruhi Suzumiya Gakuran Version! so happy ^_^
I'm obsessed with the game. I play it any time I can. That delicious wood smell from the board gives me a pre-play adrenaline rush. At work, if I can get away with it, Windows' Internet Backgammon is only an Alt-Tab away. I buy Backgammon strategy books and study them.
It's such a beautiful game. It takes skill of course, but there is enough of an element of chance from the dice to keep it exciting, like gambling.
When I die I want to be reincarnated as a tree, and have my branches used to make backgammon boards.

ITT We list what we do away from 4-ch
Legalising CP may decrease the amount of real child abuse too. The problem is that nobody knows one way or the other.
Eat, Sleep, Work, Class. DJ. Hack away futilely at Wakaba and apache2. Bemoan my current status of a "life."
>>48 Whut??
What do you mean by that?
You mean you want to legalise the production and distribution of CP or just the viewing and ownership of such materials??
It needs to stay illegal but hey.
hunting for prey...
rape...
oh! and posting on 4chan
Walking outside is SO BORING, outside 4-ch= ps3, watch shows on tv,...
I fap occasionally.
Wake up, breakfast while reading newspaper, school, snack, 4chan, dinner, (Always forget to study) shower, sleep. Over and over again.
Sleep, class, watch anime, talk on IRC, internets, eat, do homework, code, read manga, listen to music (mostly Japanese), practice my guitar playing and singing, record songs.
New on 4-ch.
Spend most of the time playing guitar. Music just soothes me.
Other than that, classes..come back..classes. Now beginning to appreciate outing with friends.
