I hear similar from west coasters: just grey and depressing all winter long.

Where I live gets cold, but we also get a lot of sunshine.

-40C still sucks, but -25 is a lot easier to deal with when it is bright and sunny out.

Humidity makes a big difference ,too. I've had so many Newfoundlanders and other east coast co-workers say that -5 on the edge of the Atlantic can feel colder than -20 on the Prairies.

100%! Last time I was in Colorado it was 35F and sunny and I couldve been in a tshirt. All the locals were complaining about how cold they were! I was like, this is a whole different animal in New England, especially on the coast. Ill take 0F and dry over 32F and damp all day, any day. Here its always raw. Gray, windy and damp. It rarely even gets real cold anymore, like it did when I was younger, but it feels colder to me. Combination of age and the fact that it feels like its always windy now I guess haha. I get a little jealous of all these guys post their pictures growing in the Cali sun these days!

Cali doesn't make me jealous really; Draught and Earthquakes are one thing, but trying to grow weed that isn't Seaweed would be hard if it fell in the Ocean.

Then again, the fuck do I know ? I spend 3 months a year saying "We don't have Earthquakes, Hurricanes, or Spider Mites right now".

omg that SUCKS...

set oven to 220 and bake tightly wrapped in foil for 35 minutes

OR instant pot decarb.

How To Decarb In An Instant Pot (No Smell Method)

Decarbing in an Instant Pot keeps odor to a minimum, is super simple to set up, and requires no extra special equipment. Plus, you can move on to the infusion process directly after, if you want.

emilykylenutrition.com

Ardent is beauty but these work VERY well too. If the Ardent is a 99% conversion..an oven the other two hit 70 to 90.

And 1 gram of 25% weed is 250mg of active THC...like 5 gummies.... shit i just ate 15 gummies worth.

About 25 minutes a go i ate 3 grams of decarbed bud....put my keys away...
1 gram each of Banana Durban Gushers...Blini....and Purple Flavanoid.
I need to start cooking soon if i hope to keep up with the munchies...

Im a New Englander born and raised and im still sick of it. Its not even the cold honestly, and I genuinely like the snow. Its the lack of sunlight. This time of year I start and finish work in the dark, its stupid. And since I dont even work outdoors anymore im starting to feel like Gollum

LOL! I know I kinda piss on Cookie strains sometimes (You might say I add my own special "sprinkles" to them) but that's only because I don't like any of them outside of the original GSC. It's the only one I've ever really liked, and I've tried a bunch I couldn't even count at this point. I had a proper GSC pheno tasting like a sugar cookie, dough and all, and it was lovely. And it's no secret I love GMO, but that's a GSC X Chem D so it's not shocking. Ethos Cookies from the dispensary was the last one I tried before giving up on those; Tasted like Chocolate Chip Cookies, and got you about as high as you'd expect from something that probably wasn't grown to it's full potential.

We had a whole ounce of that stuff too, and I ended up snapping one day and just grinding all of it up, and using it for blends of other stuff LOL. I know part of this is personal preference, but I don't think I even got stoned from that one.

You guys think I'd get sued if I made something called Cookie Fam Dust? I mean, not like, putting EFFORT into it or anything; Just sprinkling trichomes on the buds so they actually live up to the hype. Haha.

I guess that's just how the Cookie Fam Crumbles...

Not a Berner fan. Wannabe gangster but you gotta give it to him for creating a brand that is so prevalent even kids are wearing his merch. Ok so cookies, original GSC yes. Platinum Cookies probably the best. Back to Cookies from Cannarado hella bomb too. I think it’s Forum Cut Cookies crossed w Birthday Cake

Gentlemancorpse said:

I dont actually have a problem with Cookies as a strain. Not my favorite but we all have our preferences. And I dont even really have a problem with Cookie Fam, though Berner is a tough personality as @spyralout points out...

But theyre just so easy to make fun of haha

It's called goetta. Pork, beef and steel cut oats. Great fried, on top of eggs, burgers. Whatever you're imagination can make up. The chili is more like a meat sauce dumped over spaghetti originally topped with grated cheddar cheese. Optional beans , onions and hot sauce. Coneys are the steamed weenies on a bun with chili , mustard and cheese. My absolute favorite is the dip. Cream cheese, chili, shredded cheddar, diced tomatoes and chilies. I use pretzels to dip with.
It was brought to Cincinnati in the 1930s? By a Greek family.

Cincy does have good local brats, metts , etc.
Used to be called Porkopolis way before I lived there.
