Way to go eazy57 - you look great and also very happy! ? OD

Hi WWN Thanks for following up and clarifying some of your points. No worries about flames coming from me as it's just a conversation and nothing personal - us "potheads" can be peaceful at times. You sound like you must definitely must know more of these types of people than I do but if I went back 20+years I'm sure I'd be hanging out with a few off them. You might not understand or appreciate their excitement but it wouldn't hurt to ignore it and let them have their fun for a little while. I wasn't offended since I don't consider myself a "pothead" but was just sticking up for it now being legal rather than under the whole Prohibition thing like alcohol used to be as well at one time in the last century. I see where you are coming from on some points but I would just say there's no real need to worry about it as it will all calm down once the novelty wears off. I haven't actually noticed any difference since the 17th. I have made two purchases from the online store in Ontario but the first one hasn't even come in yet. I just wanted to try some of the strains that I wasn't able to get before. When you have a Licensed Producer you normally are stuck with their products for 6 months to 1 year or until you renew your prescription. This is not a problem if you go with a good L.P. and they have a good selection and stock. I am actually quite interested in the genetics and breeding and terpenes which makes the different strains and also find the history on when and where they originated from and their connections with other strains somewhat interesting. When you vaporize you can actually taste and appreciate this stuff (and there's no smell with my vaporizer) unlike smoking it where it's not as obvious. I hate taxes but paying a little tax here is not a huge issue as people pay large amounts of excise & taxes all the time for alcohol and cigarettes. They had to tax it to show everyone against it that at least they will make some money and to be "fair" since they tax everything else including alcohol and cigarettes. If it means I get to buy legally and know what I'm getting then it's worth it. I have had some awkward purchase experiences in the past and don't enjoy buying off old buddies, ex-girlfriends, friend of a friend, etc. at all hours of the night in shady locations. If I could walk into a store and buy AAS over the counter at a decent price (or get it covered by insurance) and without too many taxes I certainly would and I think many others would as well. I would also consider that another small victory for all our freedom. I know that others who are against it wouldn't be happy though which is sort of similar to your example of not feeling like you won anything over cannabis now being legal for recreational purposes. Luckily we have Canadian UGLs to help us for all of our AAS needs. OD

No offence Wada'sWorstNightmare and I respect your opinion but many of us do care. I had it medicinally available, but there certainly are benefits for those who use it recreationally legally now. Firstly, I should mention that not everyone who uses it is a "pothead". You would never know that I (or many others) use it and I never use it in public - for me, it's normally just in the evening before bed. I don't go around calling everyone who has a beer or other type of booze an "alcoholic" so maybe try to take it easy on us folks who make the choice to use another legal substance that's not alcohol responsibly as an adult. I also don't refer to those who chose to smoke cigarettes as any particular stereotype and they are likely even worse for you than cannabis. I don't believe it's going to create more "potheads" as the type of people who would become "potheads" wanted it, they could have used it all along anyways. It's very nice to not have to look over your shoulder and be worried about getting jacked up and having it seized from you and then having your name on some system for something so stupid. What a huge waste of everyone's time and resources. It's also very good to know exactly what you are getting and to be able to buy it legitimately like you can with alcohol. I've said it before, as a slight Bill Hick's (comedian) reference, "it's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom" so everyone should be happy to have gotten back at least a little of our freedom to some degree. Thank you, OD

I have weights and a bench, etc. set-up but currently just do my cardio at home.

Looking forward to following this to see how your prep goes. Good luck, OD

When I have to work I usually only get 4-5 hours. I get maybe 6-7 hours on days off but try to catch up by taking a nap whenever I can.

Happy Cannabis Day!

Too bad they wouldn't go for it... I guess you wouldn't want to resubmit and try for ASSETR instead then? (j'k). Maybe it'll slip by and you'll get it this time. OD

Yummy, since they're only 76 calories, I'd have to add some walnuts. OD

I should have had them yesterday since it was Leg Day. Well Back Day is coming up so soon that might be good instead. The trick is to not down a bottle of maple syrup with the pumpkin pancakes - mmmmm...

Nooooo! I have a weekness for pumpkin. At least they have 36 g. of protein and only 13 grams of carbs. May have to try these rather than oatmeal one day soon... Thank you, OD

I don't drink diet pop but many of my pre-workouts, BCAA's, protein powders, etc. have the same stuff in it (I try to go with the more natural sweeteners) so it's pretty much like diet pop in a way. It makes me think of Dave Palumbo taking about how much diet pop he used to drink or still drinks. I think he may also have his clients drink it when they're cutting. Here's one of his rants on the subject for entertainment purposes for those interested.

Intense exercise definitely helps me tremendously with this. I feel I am missing something, my mood starts to change and I get anxious if I miss the gym. If I have a negative thought at the gym I just turn the music up, hit it harder and it usually goes away pretty quickly. Eating properly also has a positive impact. My THC/CBD prescription also helps after the gym or in the evening before bed. It also helps me reflect on my anxiety and helps me figure out what I need to do to help fix it. Tren (+ sometimes high EQ) doesn't help me so much though - it's kind of a love/hate relationship that I keep coming back to... OD

Hi Rrrrolla & welcome. OD

Some of those scales also have a setting that you set-up for athletes or for those with more muscle (my Tanita one does). You may have to turn that setting on when you enter your age, weight, height, etc. Having said that, I still wouldn't rely on the scale for accurate BF measurements but it may be okay to help you to spot any trends if you use it consistently under the same conditions and average out the results. Good luck, OD
