Edibles are fucked
Edibles are my preferred way to go since I'm a little girl. I'd prefer not cough and feel every breath irritate my throat for 15 minutes after I get high. Sure smoking is instant, but it smells and edibles last longer and are stronger
This is exactly why i want to try them.
God damn I'm going to get shitfaced.anyways...let's get back on topic guys. This is an addiction and drug abuse thread.
I've known a couple people with severe gambling addictions. One of whom was found by their parents on a park bench in Waterloo (Canada) having blown half their school money. Havent seen too much in the way of drug addiction fortunately. One guy I met in university had a definite drinking problem. Was in the room beside mine, kept pretty much a fully loaded bar fridge at all time and was cleaning out bottles of grey goose and/or jack daniels just about daily. Have no idea how he was affording it.
I'm surrounded by gambling addicts where I work (casino) and I deal with them directly. I still don't know how i really feel about being the one who actually takes the money from them.
Dont be hard on yourself for it, just remember two things:
1) The majority are just people enjoying it casually/having a good time.
2) The ones who are addicted would find other ways to gamble if you werent serving them anyway, at least you can provide a safe, fair, and legal service and hope they get help for their issues.
I know, and this is why I don't feel upset about it. It's just weird being in that situation. I love the casual players, in fact people who have no idea how to play blackjack are my absolute FAVORITE players. Explaining a game is a good conversation starter and actually talking with people makes my job 10x better. Plus the people who don't know the game are usually in their 20s so it makes it easier to talk anyways. I just hate having the guy who comes in every weekend, plays green (25$ chips, usually for rich mofos), loses a bunch of money and never says a word the entire time. You know they are an addict, you know they have a problem, but you can't really do anything about it.
There is one exception that I have though, there is a guy who comes in regularly (likely an addict) but he's really fun to play with because he actively tries to get to know people at the table including the dealer. I call him the aflac guy because on blackjack, whenever i offer insurance he yells out "AFLAC!" It pisses off the other guests but I love it.
