Btw, like you, I like the Golden Gate, but if you are hyper sensitive to the smell of mj, the hotel is not for you
I'm on your side. I don't believe they are gonna shut down anything from what I have posted. They know what they give out and they know who gets what. If one can't talk about what's going on in Vegas or elsewhere on this site... I don't see the point. I have to agree it is best that I stop posting in general and go back in the bushes. When I first started posting on this site I thought it was for players sharing and helping each other. I see that it's more of a camouflage and the real help or collision is done through private messages. My problem is that I really am not good with real life social interaction and I have no desire to meet up with anyone. I guess it is time for me to exit that door Romes told me about awhile back. I am sorry if I ruined anyone's action or put out information that was used against players. That guy from surveillance said that I and others don't matter so I think I'm ok. I still have never been no mailed or 86'd in 25 years so that's a plus. On the downside I got to the party too late to make the real money. I was too busy with some poker pipe dream while everyone was crushing machines. I wish the best to all of you in your struggles!
Ps I enjoy your posts and hope you continue posting.

I personally hope that you stay, and I think your social interaction skills are top notch, based on your posts. The key is that it is difficult to discuss highly specific plays and locations because the other side is reading these Forums, even though such behavior is technically allowed. It also only takes one person from the casinos to blow up a good play that is openly posted about. Let's say I worked for a casino but I didn't feel like I was moving up fast enough and/or being paid enough, I could look for information about ways players are beating the casinos and hand that information to a competing casino or a casino in a different market to already be in someone's good graces if I wanted to try to ever get a job there.
What is not a negative to share publicly (though some would still say it is) is concepts. We might not openly trade specific plays back and forth, and I think it would be a bit (even by PM) before anyone would trust another person with sharing information...might even take a face-to-face...but if you learn the concepts that you need with respect to various plays, then you can go out and find your own plays using the concepts. You can use the concepts to determine what is or is not a good play.
They sweat people who wear glasses.

Monet,
You would be shocked: Shocked! I say, to know how many of those on here are very quiet, introverted, polite people just like yourself. I've met several dozen, and hope to meet more.
I hope you rethink your leaving, because you've been a good and interesting contributor for quite a while now. I wouldn't let a bit of criticism here and there silence your voice. Stick around.
Quote: terapinedI've taken a MJ oil vape hit while playing video poker at the 4 Queens
No typical MJ smell. Anybody that saw me assumed it was a nicotine vape pen
And thank you for being considerate for others' air space. Most casino patrons are not.
Quote: WatchMeWinFor those interested in the stock market and ways to capitalize on mj, I would say to take a hard look at GWPH. This is a great Bio pick within the medical mj sector. One of my top holdings.
I just bought Aphria, and may invest more in the industry at some point. I don't see much happening for the next 2 years in the states but there's a lot of action going on north of the border. Medical is legal across the country and there is a government led movement to make recreational use legal as well. That vote should happen sometime this spring, and it looks like the "yea's" will probably win.
Quote: tringlomaneAnd thank you for being considerate for others' air space. Most casino patrons are not.
Nobody was around me and it was a very light hit with hardly anything visible
Was at my favorite machines, the 25c Double Bonus with progressive right by the Magnolia Restaurant.
Progressive was up to 1425.00. I've rarely seen it that high considering these are pull pay machines with perfect strategy
I would never do this at a table game by the way
Quote: ncfatcatOn a side note - has anyone seen any of the research about MDMA being a cure for PTSD?
I grew up in Austin, and took ecstacy many times back in early 80s before it was illegal (and since then of course). Wonderful stuff. I remember news stories about low doses being used in this way. Not much ever came of it as I recall.
Living in Washington State now, I've gone to Las Vegas a few times since weed became legal here in 2014, carrying a bit through the airport in my carryon with no problem. I can get weed here in various packages, so always carried the ones in opaque packages, but NOT in foil or bulky "35-milimeter film canisters" so as not to set off x-ray machines. Then, I'd hit some head shop in Vegas for a cheap wooden throwaway pipe for $5 and leave it behind for the maid so I didn't carry it back home through McCarran, or *GASP* find a snubbed cigarette in an ashtray with an inch of tobacco left so I could switch out the tobacco for weed. Yeah, yeah, don't judge me, you elitist republicans.
I use a Pax vaporizer at home, but would never take that through the airport. Too expensive a loss if the ignorant guard thinks it some kinda bomb device, and I think they stopped selling them in the States.
Now that weed will be available in Vegas, perhaps on the Strip by the time I get back there, all this cloak-n-dagger can be avoided. Lots of edibles are available too of course.
It's tough to be around the people that have been smoking pot all day since they all smell like they've been sleeping in cat piss and with Pepé Le Pew. The smell literally brings tears to my eyes. And unfortunately most of LV, every hotel room, every parking garage, and every gaming table now smells like cat piss and garbage as a result.

Pot smokers have so little going for them. They think getting high is making things better, when it really is just making them lose track. They are like someone waiting for a bus that they hope never comes because they do not want to get on as they have nowhere to go.
Not surprising that pot smokers are fouling the whole place up.

I agree. This smell is so terrible. It stays on clothes as well. Just like cigarette smokers they don't realize how bad they smell because they are used to it. I live in PA and have been driving uber off and on. When I get someone thst I can smell as they walk to the car I tell them no and drive away.
I am all for the drug being legal but I feel they should have made a rule no smoking. Just let people vape or do edibles.

The breadth of ignorance of the subject matter displayed in the above post is comical.

There's some truth in that. But a quick and temporary fit has its merits. When I had a dead end job, little money and tons of anxiety, pot helped me to have a couple hours of peace at the end of the day and fall and stay asleep.
Now I pretty much just use it as a sleep aid, and not very often. If you smoke oils and concentrates and stuff it doesn't smell much at all.
Most people use some kind of substance in a similar way. Alcohol, watching TV for hours a day, video games, eating junk food, harder drugs (legal or not), tons of time on the internet, etc. etc. It's all a way to take a step out of your real life into something that feels better.
Listening to tons of talk radio and watching cable news 100% fits into that, by the way.
A perfect person probably would either never smoke pot, or just try it occasionally for the experience. Same with all of the above. If you're not perfect, you do what you can to get by. Out of all of the options listed, I think pot is one of the less damaging.

I will let you in on a little secret there has been and will
be people who use the stuff who's intellect, financial
success, and contributions to this world have and will
far exceed yours & mine.
Quote: RigondeauxThere's some truth in that. But a quick and temporary fit has its merits. When I had a dead end job, little money and tons of anxiety, pot helped me to have a couple hours of peace at the end of the day and fall and stay asleep.
As an occasional thing, maybe. For pain, yes. How much of the using population is this? I have seen what it does to regular users. Saps any drive right out of them.
Quote: rainmanI will let you in on a little secret there has been and will

Here is another little secret. Every rule has exceptions. The people who use it and become a big success because are dwarfed by the number who lead unproductive lives, watching the world go by, wondering why they never move forward.
I've been a regular user since my teens, and I have lots of motivation, I think clearly, and am very successful in my endeavors.
Quote: AZDuffmanHere is another little secret. Every rule has exceptions. The people who use it and become a big success because are dwarfed by the number who lead unproductive lives, watching the world go by, wondering why they never move forward.
That's the point, success isn't based on usage or not there are more factors at play.
Sorry, I don't think you can equate drinking or smoking pot to watching TV for hours a day, video games, eating junk food or spending tons of time on the internet.Quote: RigondeauxThere's some truth in that.

I don't think I ever do anything like that just to escape, burry problems or get sleep. I do it because I enjoy it. No doubt watching some TV helps me wind down.
PS. I don't like pot, but I do think it should be legal.
Quote: rainmanThat's the point, success isn't based on usage or not there are more factors at play.
The people I have known that use are anything but a success. I know few successful people who need to escape reality on a regular basis. I know one guy quit and said he did not realize how much it had held him back.

Agreed, in some people it can suck the ambition right out of them but much like
most things there are many facets and contributing factors that play a part.

Quote: AZDuffmanI know few successful people who need to escape reality on a regular basis
What is this "escape reality" nonsense you are blithely blathering about?
I NEVER escape reality when I smoke pot, nor have I ever tried to.
The whole point of pot is to enhance, not to escape; it makes everything just a little bit warmer, a bit fuzzier, but in a good way.
The ones who want to nullify themselves and escape turn to the hard stuff, not weed.

How is the prohibition on a essentially harmless plant, in states that have already VOTED to legalize it, anything close to small government?
Quote: gamerfreak

I thought Republicans were all about states rights and Federalism. I guess that doesn't apply when the topic is pot, gay marriage, gun laws, or anything else the red state folk don't want the blue state folk making up their own mind about.

Absolutely Pot would win
Polls show 65% in favor
Its like gay marriage, the times have changed
The republican senator in CO said he was totally against but the people have spoken with their vote and he totally gets that. He still does not like legal pot but he supports the peoples decision to make it legal.
Its sad that many republicans are insisting on a nanny federal govt.
We don't need the govt to tell an individual what he can and cannot smoke.
Its anti-freedom. Its intrusive govt.
We don't need a nanny state govt taking our individual rights away.
Don't like the smell, get the hell out of my house
Don't like the smell on the street, too bad, don't go out
Don't like the smell in a business, complain to management that you cant stand cigars LOL.
I absolutely hate cigar smoke. Did I ever demand it be made illegal, hell no

but it is not for a few minutes. If you stand near someone smoking it for a period of time, you will be smelling in on your clothes until they are washed. Just like cigarettes.

I don’t think it should be legal to smoke in public. Bystanders getting high from second hand smoke is unlikely, but completely possible with prolonged exposure in poorly ventilated areas.
I mean, you can’t drink publicly either in most places either, Vegas is just a special snowflake.
Last time my budtender said that a vape cartridge would last her about 1-2 days at her tolerance level. Each one lasts me 9-10 days of use for $45. Cheaper than beer, $5 can get you blitzed unless you're an everyday all day type.

Hmmm...
I expect federal prosecutors will quickly lose interest in chasing pot users when juries start returning "not guilty" verdicts.
