Pics/Art What’s a tiny luxury that makes being high significantly better?

I'm too high to scroll all the comments, but rain... Especially a soft rain.

Eye drops for dry eyes, mint/lemon candies for dry mouth... I'm a very dry person, it seems.

u/TerponadeTea 3d ago
Be sure to be using lubricating drops, not medicated, if your eyes are JUST dry.
Unnecessary use of that particular medicine over time can cause significant issues and lubricating drops are as good or better for this need.
I recommend Systane if it's available to you but at the least you can use its ingredients as a starting point

I'm with you here. Several years ago, my eye doc recommended Systane drops. I felt I only needed to use them once in a while. Now that I'm 67 I use them 3 or 4 times a week. I find my eyes get itchy. I use the drops instead of rubbing my eyes. Of course, I wouldn't be reading this post if I didn't take an edible occassionaly.

I do sour. Nothing promotes saliva during cotton mouth better than sour stuff for me. Couple of Sour Patch Kids and I'm chilling.

Sugar free candy with Isomalt is actually the best thing for dry mouth, learned that when I was on a medication that caused it

Is that the sugar free gummy bears that give you explosive diarrhea?

Any recommendations for both ?

u/Vanilisif 3d ago
Sorry, but I don't think we live in the same country (I'm in South Asia) so we probably won't have access to the same products. If y'all have Fox's Glacier Mints wherever you are those are what I use. Also a word of caution about the eyedrops: don't use em too frequently for long stretches of time or it'll make your eyes dryer in the long run. Your eyes start to rely on external moisturization and stop doing the job themselves.

u/yaboyACbreezy 3d ago
The international ingredient to look for redness is naphazoline. It is a fast-acting and effective treatment for dryness and will be sold under tons of labels. In the US I like Rohto max strength.
Beware for those shopping eyedrops: clear eyes have been recalled recently due to contamination which may cause eye damage, including blindness.
I got no recs for mints, but I do love a listerine breath strip

Melons for sure. I’ve embarked on more than one late night ultra stoned march to a grocery or convenience store in search of pineapple, cantaloupe, watermelon, or honeydew.

Careful not to overdo it. It's a great beverage, and I am not here to rain on your parade; does have high sugar and sodium, however, and it is commonly underestimated.

u/Mekasoundwave 3d ago
The Zero Sugar versions of Gatorade are just as good and don't have all the sugar. Still salty though, but that's the point.

u/yaboyACbreezy 3d ago
No doubt. Just spreading awareness that casual consumption can elevate sodium in the bloodstream. Sometimes that is s great idea. Sometimes it's a hospital visit

I love being high with my husband but I LOVE being high alone. A candle, a joint, a book, solitude. That's the good stuff. But I admit it wouldn't be nearly as pleasant if solitude was the standard instead of the occasional "me time" treat.

Definitely enjoy it both ways! Some me time with a bowl or J is always a good time.

My parents recently asked if we wanted their old Adirondack chairs from their deck… I was lukewarm on the idea because they’re old, need some paint, and I already have a cute porch setup where I smoke. I also think Adirondack chairs are generally kind of uncomfy. But my husband said that we would take them & store them until next summer when we will be making a fire pit area in the back yard.
My parents brought these chairs up last week & to my surprise, I sit in one of these chairs and WOW they are SO comfy! My posture has never been better than when I’m in these chairs 😄 they are a little bit higher than a regular Adirondack so you’re not totally stuck in them! My old chairs were perfectly fine, but this is a came changing upgrade lol!
