CRAIG EX STARTS 2020 WITH JOINT DEBUT, SHORT FILM ANDRES MARKWARTJANUARY 4, 2020 BLOGCANNABIS 101CANNABIS NEWSCULTURECULTUREFEATUREDMARIJUANA NEWS I started my day with a joint. While writing this, I've smoked several joints. By later tonight, I’ll have smoked even more joints. After all, smoking joints is what I do. I get it. Your sleek and stylish vape pen that tastes just like cotton candy, is super handy, and discreet. Go ahead, no one at the dog park is the wiser. But I'll stick to joints. I don't mind their glare. That lavender and hibiscus bath bomb smells delicious. I see why you might enjoy lighting some candles and hopping into the tub to soak away the cares after a long hard day. Just make sure you position those bubbles ever so carefully before you snap your Instagram pic. My tub is too small to get comfortable in, so I'll stick to joints. Ten milligrams in that package of newly-legalized gummies that are in no way fun or appealing to anyone? That's a little too low and slow for me. I'd also rather not wait forty-five minutes to an hour to see how I feel, and then possibly take another bite. I need my cannabis delivered a little faster than that. I'll stick to joints. Carrying a case with a torch, and a can of butane, and a timer, and a carb cap, and a dab tool, and a quartz banger, and alcohol wipes, and some Q-Tips...isn't especially convenient, but I get it. Dabs are indeed awfully terpy, and they do go immediately to the head. It's great that you have the time to heat that glass until it's red hot, wait exactly 68 seconds until it cools to the perfect temperature so you can take a giant toke, cough up a lung, sweat profusely for five minutes and repeat. I, unfortunately, have too little time, but let me know when a low-temp baby dab is ready for me. Until then, I'll stick to joints. I realize they are a bit low tech, smelly, and dare I say old fashion, but in my so-called Expert opinion, nothing is as effective, convenient, or classic as a well put together joint. Now, where'd my lighter go? - A Well Put Together Production -
