And this rising potency is a direct consequence of cannabis being illegal. Producers are breeding stronger and stronger strains with higher THC content and lower CBD to get the most bang for their buck. This is true for all illicit drugs, as they tend towards becoming more potent when they need to be smuggled (e.g. why fentanyl is often added to heroin, as it delivers more potency per gram).

If you legalise and regulate it, suddenly that pressure is taken away. Cannabis is produced in consistent and known strengths, distributed in packaging that clearly states the potency so people can make informed choices about what they take.

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying!

Surely if presidents are able to appoint supreme court justices, there has never been separation of powers? And is that not a big part of why we're in this mess now?

I have an infinite number of rooms, so I'm putting two monkeys in each room with two typewriters.

Now I can do it in half the time.

Hey! I liked Romeo and Djrurleltkitshsnmqlaapj

Thanks 😊

Same! As soon as I was forced to use the official Reddit app over Sync, I jumped ship

Ruined my day tbh

Hahahaha... Fuck.

I'd love to open the news one evening and not feel like we're another step closer to the apocalypse.

Honestly, fuck Trump. Where my Luigis at?

I'm reminded of a comment I saw on Reddit which I saved a while back. Can't remember who posted it, but I often think about it:

Entrepreneurship is like one of those carnival games where you throw darts or something.

Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on.

Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about "meritocracy" and the salutary effects of hard work.

Poor kids aren't visiting the carnival. They're the ones working it.

Edit: Looks like it was originally a Hacker News comment reposted on Reddit

Awesome, my first Lemmy silver! Thank you 😊

Thanks for the detailed response. That is absolutely wild

Is this true? Honestly it wouldn't surprise me but I'd never heard this before

Fuck Spez ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Thanks! ✌️

Thanks! I look forward to hopefully seeing some of your stuff on here 😊

Blender has a steep learning curve and it can be pretty disheartening at the start (or certainly that's how it was for me). But the important thing is to stick with it, try to enjoy the process even if the result isn't what you hoped, and eventually you'll get there with enough tutorials and messing around.

Thanks 😊

In case anyone is interested, this was actually a remake of an old render of mine (which was also a lighting test). I wanted to take the same scene a year later, and give it a totally different vibe.

Which do you prefer?
