I just wanted to let you guys know that my trip to Denver was a success and my "carry-ons" didn't land me in jail! If you guys remember, I posted in a Denver thread asking about the ease of obtaining fresh rigs in CO a day or so before the site went down. I had a wedding to attend in Vail and I was flying from LAX to DIA and although I did have some bupe I could have taken with me, I figured the trip would be much easier to tolerate if I had some dope with me. So, I decided to take roughly 3 grams of dope, one rig, and 6 fresh needles to last me the 5 days because I knew I wouldn't have a chance to cold cop (and didn't want to have to deal with that anyway) or get to the needle exchange before leaving for Vail.
Everything went down without a hiccup. I was just slightly nervous when going through TSA security with just under 3 grams of dope on me (or in me, I should say) but I had done plenty of research and knew there was very, very little chance of them finding it so I did my best to remain calm and it went great. As for the rig and needles in my checked luggage, I hid them quite creatively and my bag was waiting for me on the other side. I was thinking about leaving the individually wrapped, unopened rigs in my toiletries bag because they're not illegal by themselves and there were no drugs in the bag but I didn't have any other diabetic equipment with me and I didn't want the rigs to get taken or raise any tough questions so hid them I did.
I did quite a lot of research before I left about how x-ray machines scan baggage, what the images look like, and those new MMW body scanners they have at nearly every major airport so I knew exactly where and how to hide my cargo. Apparently those MMW scanners can only penetrate clothing and not skin. So, anything hidden under or within the skin is undetectable especially if it's nonmetallic. With that in mind, the dope obviously went between the cheeks. I didn't even need to insert it inside of me, per se, just squeezed deep between the butt cheeks. I walked right through security without a second look.
With that said, the trip was a success, the wedding was beautiful, and my girl and I had a great time and made it home safe and sound. I couldn't have asked for much more than that. A big thank you to the Denver area. Everyone we met on our trip was super cool and Denver is an extraordinarily laid-back, chill city. I hope to make my way back there sometime soon so I can spend a bit more time exploring the great state of CO.
-
That's awesome, glad it all went smoothly...lol@ between the cheeks :D
I've been dying to go to Denver and hopefully next year we will take a cross country drive/vacation. We are going to San diego next July and I'm thinking about that driving there so we could make a stop in CO. I'm not sure if that's doable(meaning out of the way) in the drive x -country.
-
Denver and Vail both were absolutely awesome. Since we were there for a wedding, we didn't have much time to explore on our own unfortunately. I'd love to go back soon for an actual vacation and spend a good week or so exploring the city and seeing the sights. Denver really seemed to be my kind of city.
I love San Diego! If you have any questions regarding that city, don't hesitate to ask! I lived there for nearly 3 years while attending college. You'll have a blast, no doubt. I don't live to far from there now either. San Diego is only about an hour and a half from where I'm at. Anyway, I hope you guys have a safe cross-country trip!
-
Thanks! Yeah we aren't going till the end of next July, well july 2016. It's for a convention but we take an extra few day on the end for ourselves. I can't wait I've never been to Cali and heard nothing but great things about San Diego aka a whales vagina. :)
When it gets closer I'll def be asking you some questions...
-
I can't wait to get back to the US and Colorado is on that list.
just the thought of being able to get legal pot is exciting in itself.
all I need to do is avoid a felony, which is likely unless something goes terribly wrong.

I hadn't smoked weed in quite a while but I decided that because I was in Denver, I just had to buy some and try it out. I've been a medical patient in California for about 5 years or so but I still found it exciting that anyone over 21 could simply go into a "dispensary" (that's what they call the legal and medical weed spots in CO) and purchase whatever they want. There were also some cool lounges in downtown Denver where you could hang out and smoke. What I found surprising was that the places that allowed you to smoke on site, were legally not allowed to sell pot and the places that do sell pot, can't let you smoke on site. So, you have to buy your herb and take it elsewhere to smoke. Not a big deal, really but I thought it was interesting. You'll definitely enjoy CO if you haven't been there before. I had a fucking blast and Vail was absolutely gorgeous.
-
I'm not a huge pot smoker, but I do like the idea of legalization and allowing people to freely buy / grow weed.
The only benefit for me would be that I'd be more likely to get custom-grown weed that doesn't induce anxiety. I always get freaked out when I smoke. If I were at a legal dispensary, I'd be able to compare products and choose which one is best for anxiety-free smoking. When it's illegal, you don't get that option most times.

Very true, Nark. As Colorado and Washington have proven, there are very few downsides to legal marijuana while a ton of upsides it seems. It's only a matter of time before more states follow suit. It'll happen just like the medical marijuana situation did. One state approved medical, then two, then four, then 10, etc. Give it time, bud!

Glad all went well... I posted some advice about buying rigs in your opiophile thread, right before the plug was pulled...
Anyhoo, I'm glad all went well AND you had a good time :-)

Thanks, Guey! I think I was able to read your post before the site went down unless you're talking about something else you posted in that thread like an hour or two before the site went down. It was all moot, though, because I ended up taking everything I needed anyhow. Just glad I didn't end up in cuffs!
-
Hell yeah! NOT ending up in cuffs is good. It's all moot now, but I was trying to suggest WalMart in lieu of the needle exchange. I also mentioned not even bothering with Walgreen's. I'm not sure about other places, but in Denver you can forget about buying rigs from them, in my experience...

Glad you had a safe trip with no LE troubles, It is a very clean and chill city. It is really nice that they have legalized weed here they just released a news story a few weeks ago saying the first 6 months raised as much weed tax money as the whole year last year. They don't know what to do with it all. I am very glad that we now have an extra 60(?) million a year to go towards education construction and everything else instead of going to cartels. I don't understand why people would rather have people thrown in a cage, all their money taken from them, as well as having a record for the rest of their life that hurts chances of housing, employment, and education all for using a plant that grows in the ground. It just makes no sense to me I don't understand any of the opposition's argument. Hopefully the federal government jumps on board and every state is allowed to vote on it and its left up to the people. In my opinion any chance of saving money on LE, generating more tax money and jobs, and slowing down the mass incarceration in the united states should be used to the fullest extent. It is nice to have a new industry that isn't completely taken over by huge corporations where people have a chance to start a successful business and spread the wealth instead of having one person get all the money and every one else working for minimum wage.

Well said, Griffin! I totally agree. I've been a "medical" patient here in CA for the better part of 5 years or so but I would love for it to go legal like it is in CO and WA. California is probably next on the list of states to go legal, I'd imagine. After all, we were the first medical state way back in 1996 and the people here have grown even more fond of the legalization idea, I feel like.
-
I agree, I remember when proposition 19 was going on and i think it barely lost like 54% to 46% of the vote. I definitely think now that 4 states have it legal and they see the benefits that it will pass next time it is voted on in California. Hopefully this next voting season we get a few more medical and legal states to keep the balance shifting in favor of full legalization. I haven't smoked in 2 years and I still think it is a wonderful idea. If you don't smoke it great you don't have to but the people who do shouldn't be victimized and incarcerated. Anything to decrease the black market and increase money for everyone I am for. More tax money, more jobs, more local businesses and business owners, no kids being sold to because black market dealers don't check ID, more testing so that the medical benefits of it can be used to the fullest to help people with HIV/aids, cancer, epilepsy, pain, and all the other serious illnesses that can be helped by it. I can only hope but it seems that more and more people share my opinion every day. If anyone has any opinions on why they think it shouldn't be legalized I am all ears. It is always informative to hear someone else's point of view in a place like this because they can actually state why they disagree with out just bashing everyone for being a pot head or a square or whatever the argument is. I can understand wanting medical only instead of full legalization but I think in the grand scheme of things just let people do their thing and victimless crimes shouldn't be illegal.

Do any of you know if that strain Charlotte's Web is in CO, WA, or CA?
I saw a documentary on that and its use in children with severe seizure disorders a year or two ago. It was interesting.

Reminds me of this somehow:
The monumental public relations cover-up being run by the TSA and other airport security authorities worldwide in claiming that the naked body scanners do not show crisp images of genitalia has once again been exposed with the story of a TSA worker in Miami who attacked a colleague who had made fun of his small penis after he passed through a scanner device.
“Perhaps the new airport body scanners are a bit too revealing. A TSA worker in Miami was arrested for aggravated battery after police say he attacked a colleague who’d made fun of his small genitalia after he walked through one of the new high-tech security scanners during a recent training session,” reports NBC Miami.
44-year-old Rolando Negrin beat his supervisor with a police baton after he had cracked jokes about Negrin’s small manhood when he walked through a naked scanner as part of a training exercise at Miami International Airport.
“The attack may be the first piece of proof that the new scanners may be leaving too little to the imagination,” states the report.

There are actually a bunch of attacks motivated by small penii and mmw body scanners. Maybe you could shape the tar into a penis extension next time and kill two birds with one lump of tar.
-
Anybody want to give more detail about how to conceal rigs in luggage? Bc one time I took my purse through a scanner, they were very visible and very obvious! I had forgotten about the scanners and about died when I noticed them on the screen....I even had spoons in there.
Luckily there was one fork, so when the officer asked me what the spoons were for, I told him I had the fork and spoons in there bc I used them to eat at my desk at work.
He just looked at me like whatever and sent me on thru. Shit, haven't EVER fucked up like that again!

The charlottes web strain came from colorado I don't see it very much for purchase because I don't think many people grow it as I think maybe only a handful of growers have the strain. There was a lot of press about it here when it first came out and every so often you will read about it in mmj articles or if there is any argument or new family trying medical marijuana for there kid. I would personally like to try it, I had some really good cbd oil syrup stuff that I gave to a relative with cancer that worked great. I like the idea of the tar penis extension I would probably stand in the scanner for far to long and make some ridiculous remark to the guy or gal checking the scanner.

Thanks for the reply. Some grower or medical / pharmaceutical company should invest in growing Charlotte's Web. That way those parents with sick children would be guaranteed a steady, legal supply.
It was really remarkable how that kid in the documentary radically improved when given it, compared with traditional seizure meds. Plus the ordeal the parents go through. The mother and kid moved to CO (I think), whereas the father was living in some other faraway state. He was only able to visit a few times a month or something like that. It affected their family tremendously. Hopefully things are better for them now, wherever they are.
-
Yeah I completely agree it was very touching watching that. I just couldn't believe how bad off she was and the difference it made seeing that and a video of a lady with cerebral palsy were two videos I will never forget and they definitely made me pro mmj. You can't watch the those video and see the difference it made immediately and not believe in some medical quality in marijuana and I am sure the long term effect was amazing as far as quality of life goes.

Is there something special about that strain in particular, Nark? Aside from THC/CBD content, looks, taste, and smell there really isn't much difference between weed strains. Sure, some look/smell/taste better than others and some are higher in CBD content (where the sedative/body high effects come from) or THC content but if one strain is good for a certain illness, one would think that there would be others that are just as good out there. Unless they specifically bred it to have some unique properties or something.

That's been changed, Z. Those MMW scanners can still see private parts and such but that's not what they display on the computer screens. The computers that show the results have been outfitted with a program that simply shows the operator a generic "gingerbread man" outline that has small yellow boxes that mark potential threats on the persons body. With this new program, the operator can be standing right next to the MMW machines (as they are now at almost all major airports) instead of being hidden in another room nearby. Back when the machines showed the actual body outlines from the people, the operators were required to be in a separate room so nobody could see the persons body that's being scanned. That's one thing I found when doing my research before the trip and that's how I found out that those MMW scanners can only penetrate clothing and not skin. So, that particular issue with MMW scanners has been dealt with.

I had a pretty clever way of hiding my rigs on my recent trip. I figured they'd show up in my carry-on luggage if they were just packed somewhere in there (and they scrutinize carry on luggage much harder than they do check-on) so I decided to check my bag. I know they also x-ray checked luggage but I'd imagine they look much more closely at carry-ons. Since I use rigs that resemble an oral syringe that uses slip-on needles, I decided to take only one syringe and like 6 replacement needles. With the one syringe, I cut off and filed down the two flanges that stick out at the top of the syringe so it'd look more like a pen. Then, I put the syringe inside an actual pen. I put the plunger part of the syringe into a second pen body. I put the pens with the syringe parts inside my laptop case along with 5 or 6 other normal pens so they wouldn't seem out of place. The laptop case went inside my check on luggage.
I was a bit more worried about the needles themselves and how theyd look on the x-ray. I did quite a lot of research regarding how different things like plastics, metals, organic materials, etc. show up on x-ray machines. Metals that aren't dense usually end up looking like dense plastics (like the metal used for a needle! It's not very dense because of the hole through it). So, I took off the bottom of my netbook and put the needles inside of it. I figured this would be the best place for them because I realized that laptop x-ray images are super busy due to the amount of plastic and metal they have inside of them in weird configurations. So, I placed the needles next to each other, alternating their position. One needle point up, the next down, and so on kind of like this: MWMWMW. My specific netbook has two sticks of RAM so I simply removed one, put the needles in its place, and then rescrewed the bottom on. It was perfect! The bottom didn't bulge whatsoever and the laptop still turned on should they feel compelled to check. I figured it was very unlikely they would unscrew the bottom of my laptop and check unless they really saw something sketchy.
As for the dope I took, it simply went between my butt cheeks! Everything made it to the other side with zero problems and it didn't even look like they opened my check on bag.

I believe it's extremely high in CBD, and extremely low in THC. As for any other differences (taste, smell, color, etc.) I don't know. Also, I believe the form used for these children is in a concentrated oil / liquid or something like that. They're not smoking up.
-
I know it was bred in Co originally. I think its more available now, as it started having large supply issues after its popularity.
-
Bhoris, i'm impressed with your ability to really do your homework.
you and Nark have much in common ... he's a very diligent and thorough person, too.
-
Nark is right about the charlotte's webb strain it is very high in CBD's which is the chemical that alleviates things like pain, nausea, and helps with seizures and such. It is low in THC which is the chemical that gives the psychoactive effects of marijuana like the head high and the things that make music and such wonderful when smoking it. Thats why it was so popular with pain patients, epileptic patients, and people with cancer and cerebral palsy because it gives all of the medicinal relief with out any or very little of the psychoactive high associated with marijuana.

Jail/prison is big business. A lot of people get their pockets filled.

Thanks, Chip! I've always been a very exacting and methodical individual, especially so when my freedom is potentially on the line. I haven't had too much interaction with Nark but I've always thought we were alike in quite a few ways just based on his posts. Hopefully I'll get the chance to know him better!
-
Nark's a tad over-sensitive and wanted him to see if he liked any aspect of the role.
as an open democratic board we stand for election.
Nark's inquisitive nature makes him a source of knowledge.

Yes, I'm delicate like a flower. LOL. ;) Partly true, partly ironic joke.
You wanted me to see if I liked any aspect of being an admin? There are certain things I like, some that I don't.
I like being able to edit my posts whenever I want. I believe others have a time limit to edit. I also like being able to help people if they need it. Stuff like editing, moving threads, changing things on their account (e-mail, e.g.) if they need it.
I don't like having people think I'm imposing some mandated rule simply b/c I'm posting an opinion. I also don't like people automatically assuming I'm up to no good b/c I'm an admin. Especially by those who don't care for me. I'm a fairly ethical person, and I wouldn't undermine anyone's opinions, account, etc. I'm not a dictator. I don't expect people to think like I do. I'm not going to ban anyone, probably even if they deserved it. If someone was caught soliciting, for example, I'd probably alert it to you, Nick, or Candy and let you guys ban them. The only reason I'd do it is if none of you were online, and an immediate action had to be taken. But that's hardly ever the case. It kind of irks me that some people think I'm automatically going to go off the rails simply b/c I'm an admin. Shows you what they think of me I guess. Can't please everyone though.
In all honesty when we have elections, I probably won't stand for election. I don't like being in charge overall, and I don't like people thinking I would use my status negatively. And even if I did stand for election, I'm quite sure I wouldn't get enough votes to keep my admin status anyway. So I don't see much merit in running. I don't need people to publicly post numbers to show they dislike or distrust me. It's not exactly a confidence builder.
Back on topic. Hey Bhoris. Nice to meet you too. :)

That's cool. I enjoy the chat feature option. I also liked the ability to PM (before it was expanded to everyone). Thanks for having confidence in me.
As for the technical, I don't mind helping out. I just don't understand a lot of that stuff. I know how to move threads, create sub-forums, name them, add permissions to people, ban or give warnings to someone, etc. But for the more difficult things, I've no clue.
