Was about to pull the trigger on VIP and everything but ended up blowing out my knee recently. Was anyone there last year with crutches or wheelchair? I was there and am imagining it’s going to be fucking brutal with crutches or wheelchair but would like to hear from anyone that did it last year, thanks fam!
Which to taper first?
Gabapentin 1200mg at night
Klonopin 1mg twice daily (1mg morning and 1mg nightly)
Tolerance for both is there. I am gaining weight since both and have no motivation. Been on both for roughly a year. Any advice would be helpful.
Trying to all come through with the RV but wont sleep everyone. Is it okay to have a tent next to the RV? Not super large tent?
Don’t get me wrong I love my mom to bits but she drives me up the damn wall. The two other leos I am close with in life share this experience with me. Is this a shared experience here?
Jumped from taper at 5.5gpd due to time off, perfect time. 40-60gpd user. Total 8 month usage. I am an addict of many things to keep it short, so I knew exactly where the fuck it was headed. I am currently in the middle of a benzodiazepine taper as well. I am still experiencing general motivation issues and fatigue but that ain’t nothing I can push through, mama ain’t raise no…!
Anyways, anyone who is celebrating a milestone or working on taper let’s hear it! Shit does gets better folks..
It just takes some time

Hello all, here to offer some hope on day 9 off kratom after a 4-month taper.
I started around 40–60 GPD and immediately cut down to 30 GPD when I began tapering. Over about 4 months I worked my way down to 5.5 GPD.
I decided to jump at 5.5 GPD because I had a week off between jobs and figured it was the best opportunity I was going to get. My new job is physically demanding and I was worried that once I started, the taper would slow down or I’d find reasons to keep putting off the jump.
I wanted to post because I spent months reading horror stories and expected the jump to be much worse than it was.
My first week was actually pretty manageable. On day 3 I went hiking and then swimming. On day 5 I strained my neck, which caused the only real kratom craving I’ve had so far because I wanted pain relief, but later that same day I still went swimming in a mountain river.
The biggest challenge hasn’t been acute withdrawal symptoms. It’s been fatigue. Days 6–8 I was exhausted, but I was also recovering from a neck strain and had spent a lot of time hiking, swimming, and being out in the heat and sun, so it’s hard to know how much was withdrawal versus everything else.
I’ve had some mild symptoms like watery eyes, sweating, anxiety, emotional waves, increased hunger, and some calf muscle spasms, but nothing severe. No major panic attacks, no significant GI issues, and no unbearable restless legs.
Today (day 9) was the first day I noticed my energy starting to come back. Overall, I’m feeling optimistic.
I’m still early in the process, but if you’re tapering and terrified to jump, my experience so far has been that a slow taper made the transition much more manageable than I expected. 🤙
Well the time has come. I am about to CT from 5.5gpd tapered down from 40-60 started in March. I got a new job opportunity. I have the next 10 days off before I start training my new role in current market. Then the second or 3rd week of July I will be flying out to hot ass Arizona for a month of academic/sales/in field (HEAT) training. I am scared but ready to be off. I am currently in alcohol PAWS 52 days out and still stabilizing from a benzo taper cut a month ago. Hope I don’t fry my nervous system. Took one 1.5g dose this morning and I think this is just too perfect of an opportunity. Wish me luck friends hopefully I won’t be too screwed. Have klonopin and gabapentin I already use daily and have tolerance so that will help some. Also have THC and CBD. Let’s get it
I live near Bear Creek River in Morrison but wondering if anyone knows of any pools or good plunge spots either in Bear Creek or nearby areas?
Wondering if this is common? I just dropped .5gpd down to 5.5gpd coming from 40-50gpd. Only used for 6 months before starting taper. Couldn’t CT though don’t have the PTO or anything to allow me to do it due to other work circumstances. I work a manual labor job and this cut has made me extremely sensitive to the heat and I have been sweating doing small tasks. Work has been an absolute nightmare I soaked all day long. No matter how much water or electrolytes I drink I can’t seem to stay hydrated. I’m still on the damn stupid leaf and like this, did anyone have a similar experience? Just need some comfort that I didn’t screw up my nervous system for good
I use a oretty heavy amount of thc. Now that I get older I need the synergy from CBD and THC. What brands are recommended? Lazurus Naturals in the one I see the most online, but looking for real world recommendations. Need a full spectrum tincture. Thanks for any help!
How am I gonna buy a hotknife to find out it just melts the dab so slow it sticks to the knife and doesn’t even fall off? Not even gonna bother with warranty. Heard some rumors they were bad. I should have listened.
Edit: Battery is fully charged
Need strain recs.
Couple weeks ago I asked about some rosin AIOs in here and got lead to allgreens which turns out is only 5 mins from work and have I been super impressed with their rosin.
So far I’ve tried the Crusty Weasel badder (this was great from the jump), Cran Z badder & AIO from the bud tenders recommendation (didn’t like this one at the start took about a week for me to adjust to it made me super racey in the headspace that first week) I also tried the 1:1 Spritzer they have and love it when I need a little more pain relief.
What have you guys been liking?
Just finally getting back into concentrates after a long break. Talking last time I dabbed was “if it don’t shatter it don’t matter” times. Tried distillate carts and not a huge fan. Bought a PAX rosin AIO just to find out it’s not actually 100% rosin.. the rosin I have dabbed with my buddy is fantastic. Just not looking to invest in a rig at the moment. Close to Southwest area, lakewood/littleton would be a huge plus.
