Spoiler!

Been having health issues for a while now.

Just got the news yesterday from my last test.

I officially got ****ing cancer in my gut.



Edit:
Sorry all,

Had a couple of days that weren't the best.

It was a swift reminder that I still have things to take care of.

My wife still needs to learn passwords, bills, etc. That got me thinking about what my "footprint" will look like when I'm gone.

I'm actually an intensely private person and I thought I've shared a tad much on here. At the same time I've got to talk to a lot of great people here and it does lift my spirits some when I see the positive posts from everyone.

Got rid of most of the pics etc.....the more I thought about it the more I felt selfish. CP has been my go to for 10+ years now and it didn't feel right to throw the C word out there and then just ignore it like it didn't happen.

Thanks,
HayWire

I had a terrifying reaction to a supposedly real edible with supposedly legal amounts of THC a few years back. I’ve never smoked weed(yes I’m a pussy). Is delta 8 really that strong? I’m scared to try it

I don’t live in a legal state. Not trying to highjack this thread as I realize it ain’t about me, but I could use anxiety relief

Edibles are a tough way to start, IMO. It can take up to an hour for the full effects to kick in, and then they take hours to wear off. It's also super difficult to figure out the dosage if you aren't familiar with the effects.

If you must go that route, start very small and resist the urge to take more until you're very sure you're at the level you want. Once you start figuring out the dosage, you'll most likely feel better about it.

Otherwise, if it's an option, I think oil cartridges with a battery pen are a great, discreet option. They're easier on the lungs than smoking and don't have much of a smell. And they're way easier to control the dosage since you feel the effects nearly instantly and they start to wear off after an hour or two.

You look way better than me and I’m younger and cancer free (I think).

Good on your family. That’s some special shit right there.

Baggy clothes and a handsome face keep me looking normal.

Looking forward to tonight.

This will be the first Halloween I've ever got to stay in.

My youngest is passing out candy instead of going out.

A big bucket full of candy and a pizza tonight.

Life is good

[HayWire]

Just to clarify for everyone....I do look awesome....but what you can't see is my cane. I do have to use my walker from time to time.

This place has been the best to keep my spirits high.


I guess I just felt the need to explain why I'm standing around and still kicking.

If you react like the average person, low doses of THC can reduce anxiety. High doses can increase anxiety. Getting busted in a state that hasn’t legalized weed can send your anxiety through the roof.

Very cool family you have there, Haywire.
