I visited my first dispensary yesterday. I was so happy that I cried. Later on I ate a family size bag of dill pickle chips. I was so sick I cried. It would seem balance is the key.
The chips are gone and replaced with celery sticks and carrots. With any luck the dispensary will be there when I return.
I don't smoke any more except once in a blue moon I'll get some, and if it lasts me the course of a week I will very easily put on 5lbs during that time. Celery sticks and carrots don't cut it for my munchies unless I'm dipping them in hummus, in which case the entire hub of hummus is devoured in one sitting. In fact anything that gets opened is devoured in one go. Entire loaves of bread with entire jars of Marmite, entire boxes of cereal (if it's chocolate flavored I will quite happily eat two boxes), and my "medicinal" bars of dark chocolate, of which I will usually only eat 2 or 3 squares a day, will be inhaled in a matter of seconds. It really is the darndest thing how easy it is to vacuum up every last tasty morsel in sight when you're stoned, especially if you're not a regular stoner. I will literally prowl the kitchen like a predator hunting for prey. It has to be quick, easy and tasty. Salads are out, too much chopping.
