Oh. Is that what "hung" means? Man, I had this thing all wrong.
Can't be. That would be a "hanged parliament".

LOL David. I too am outraged at the commodification of dining out. They should just give me the food for free.

LOL good to hear I'm not the first person to have a shitty experience of Delicious. Mine was so bad, so offensive, that I will never go back, even if they're under new management.

It's also of dubious relevance, period. People smoke until they feel high enough. That's how it's done. If it's stronger, you don't smoke as much. Which is actually better, at least from a health point of view.
It's like saying that wine is 4 times more alcoholic than beer. Yes, that's why you don't drink a six pack of wine in a night.
I guess you can potentially overdose on wine more easily, if you drink it really fast. But I'm not aware of a single instance in the history of humanity of someone overdosing on pot. It's consumed until people have "had enough", or run out. That's the same for piss weak cabbage from the 80s or super skunk from 2010.

Ah JackElder, a really experienced endorphin user.
20k? Just wait until your first brevet.
Sounds like fun. Do I get 10 days worth of endorphin high? Over 10 days or all at once?
That's been the conclusion of the Auckland Uni School of Medicine drug use surveys over the years. And the reasons for stopping are mundane: "didn't like it any more" being the main one, iirc.
That's the way it's gone for around half of the users I know. Others have cut back. Almost no-one uses like they did in their 20s. But alcohol usage has increased. I should be specific - they drink more in total, but less at a time.
I wonder if that's one of the main things standing against pot - it's mostly appealing to people who don't have any power. Booze, on the other hand, is quite popular amongst the powerful demographics.

10km? Goodness I don't feel anything until at least 20km, and I thought I was super soft. Tolerance sure creeps up fast. I just want to maintain.

yeah , i'm sure one of the grumpiest flatmates i ever had was overdosing on biking
I'll watch out for the grumps then. If I'm feeling grumpy, it's time to either cut back, or blaze those legs up again.

Speaking of which, I think I had my first endorphin high today. It's quite a mild effect, but it lasted ages, about 4 hours. Does one develop tolerance? Any other bike users know? Do I need to be careful with this shit?

Using drugs, legal and otherwise to deal with that is a route to dependancy at least.
Could be a dependency that works! Using exercise to deal with stress could be a route to dependency...

That bodes well for my chances of one day having sex with aliens.
