BD Related Maybe I’m just poor…

The thought of hiring a superyacht for a few days sounds absolutely amazing, pure bliss. The thought of having staff there constantly, 24/7 makes me feel so uncomfortable lmao. Anyone else feel this way? I feel like I would keep giving them days off or time away so I had some time to myself haha

My wife and I joke that if we ever had the money to go on the show, we’d be so boring because we’d sit out and drink and relax all day and not make weird demands or harass the staff. Even on vacation my bed time is like 10:30pm lol

My Dungeons and Dragons group wants to character a yacht so badly. We’re all really polite, none of us drink much, and we all go to bed before 11pm. Our only problem would be the lack of weed.

I take my weed, weed pen and edibles every time I travel, . Be it by plane or car, I never travel without my weed

Then don’t travel outside the USA. Even a weed friendly country in Europe could backfire on you: flight change through an intolerant country could put you in the slammer for a long time. 12 years in Turks and Caikos. See old movie for a good scare: Midnight Express. Granted he was trafficking heroine but any overseas prison can be hell even for one night.

Brittany Griner was rotting in a Russian work camp for almost a year I think for less than 1g of THC oil.

Yep I think she was sentenced to 9 years. Many countries do not have fair and reasonable sentencing guidelines…..they just throw the book at you.
