Ask A Stoner
If you’re curious about cannabis, Westworld.com’s “Ask a Stoner” is worth consulting. Resident “Stoner” Herbert Fuego addresses questions and concerns, such as “Will Topicals Cause a Positive Drug Test?,” “Does Nug Size Matter?,” or “WTF is a Distillate?”
There are no such things as “stupid questions” here. Readers can find information relating to cannabis-based products (and the differences between them), lifestyles, uses, etc – from the most basic, to more complex topics.
In a recent post, for example, one reader asked, “What is CBN?” Fuego replied, “If popular cannabinoids were named after Snow White’s seven dwarfs, psychoactive THC would likely be Dopey, while nurturing CBD would probably be Doc. CBN, known for its highly sedative qualities, would definitely be Sleepy.”
In another post, Fuego addresses one reader's concern about cannabis, and its effects on dating:
“Dear Stoner: Is smoking pot ruining my chances with girls? […]”
Using cannabis won’t make you hallucinate, but the consumption of the wrong strain can make one seem “aloof,” Fuego described. Some strains (like Indicas) have sedative effects, while others (Sativas) can induce anxiety. Hybrid strains can strike the right balance, and boost sociability.
