ITT we talk about bananas (modnote: do not use this thread for soliciting) - Page 51 - MTT Poker Strategy

in general people do it super wrong regarding consumption amounts and frequency. keeping banana consumption less frequent in terms of number of times toking in a given day/night/session is essential, as there is definitely a plateau of bananas that lots of people seem to just ignore and keep packing away, further reducing their tolerance and making this cycle even more vicious

+1

When I was young and slangin, I was hitting the blunt from morning til night. Now that I am not in the game anymore, I realize that I can still be high from morning til night on alot less. I will actually be high instead of blowed.

When u slowly ween yourself and know u can still smoke its a lot easier to dramatically cutback. Also when u just straight up stop smoking eating and sleeping become very difficult, at least for me. When you have just a little bit in your system it helps so much. If you can't eat and u cant sleep what are you gonna do? smoke lots of bananas obv! In the last 20-25 days ive smoked about 1/4 of what i usually would in that time frame. Not wake and baking is by farrr the most crucial part. The only time I'll even contemplate it now is when im hungover. Also decrease the amount of nanners you use when you do smoke. People who have been smoking for years like to trick themselves into thinking they need a lot more than they really do to get their fix.

Cliffnotes: ween yourself, dont wake and bake, use less prod, want it!

+1 ... i stay up all night eating bananas untill 7am and wake up at like 6pm go get food and more bananas just to grind all night and start the horrible cycle over again
everything is so out of wack for me right now and quitting is a must its so hard when you live in California and a club is litteraly walking distance to you

but today is day 1 and i really wanna focus on poker and life and not bananas anymore so wish me gl the only time im gonna eat bananas is if my friends are eating them with me but not by myself anymore its too self destructive for me

Maybe it's time to find another hobby to enjoy while under the influence of bananas. Another perk to starting earlier is that you could stop ~8pm (if you're a grinder with a weekly schedule, 8 hours is a good days work) and still have time to do things other normal working people do for fun other than a club.

Sometimes I really think problems people have that they believe are caused by marijuana and are actually just lifestyle issues exacerbated by the pressure society puts on us to conform (not smoke).

edit: PS - But by all means quit if you must, I'd hate by playing devils advocate to cause someone with a serious drug problem to further delay recovery.

The Vapir is nice cause it was cheap and it hits whip style and with balloons, but has its drawbacks too, like a very noisy fan and it's not as user friendly as the Volcano.

Recently I have bought two Toros. Since then I have had my two biggest scores. Coincidence? Maybe. Worth it anyway? Definitely. Anyone own a Toro?

I guess I've always been tolerant towards bananas. Even when I peel really good stuff I can vape a bunch of bags and function normally. Once I vaped like 15 bags and I couldn't move so I just went to bed, but otherwise my ability to function isn't changed much.

In other news, my Launch Box is broken. I don't know what happened but it doesn't heat up. I have new batteries that I know work because I use them in my mouse as well. Kinda sad, would love to take it hiking this weekend.

A bit OT, but has anyone reading this thread (or anyone you know) who has tripped on a flight before?

just caught up on this thread. i have. will mash out the story as i play so forgive the poor grammar and stuff...

was at turning stone for some series and we spent the last sunday playing online before our flights. everyone gets done and we realize we only have to kill like 4-6 hours and nobody feels like sleeping, so we grab a bottle of absolut and take it downstairs to the craps table in my backpack. we drink and gamble all night and an unnamed 2p2er drives us to the syracuse airport. i take a xanax and zone out on the first leg of the flight.

we stop at some airport i have since forgotten (surprising) it might have been chicago but all i know is it's between SFO and SYR. another unnamed 2p2 comes up to me before we part ways for our respective gates and shoves half of a brownie in my hand and tells me eat it now. you don't have to tell me to eat a brownie twice so i gobble down my half and he tells me it was banana infused.

i get on my flight and pass out watching the sopranos in the jetblue headrest and wake up to a cute jewish girl sleeping on my shoulder. i didn't disturb her.

also, has anyone tried this yet? FOR WHEN YOU NEED TO MEDICATE IN PUBLIC

Mostly a tube. However there is sooooooo much glass in Eugene ( I estimate we have about 5,000 glass blowers in this small town) that we have tons of options but a rice paper and some "Blue Dream" have been the norm around the Euge.
