Y’know, for all the flaws in the 90s Everyone Online Is A Predator Never Say Anything model, it was infinitely safer for kids than the current “your online friends are completely safe and trustworthy, but outsiders are inherently suspicious” model.

Still waiting for the “Most people are basically honest, but people who want to hurt you are really good at pretending to be friendly, so be open and kind but careful” model to take hold.

Personally I believe it would do a lot of good if we stopped teaching kids about dangerous people and taught them to identify dangerous behavior instead.

It’s a good rule of thumb for life in general to be suspicious of anyone who says “People inside this group are all safe, but people OUTSIDE this group all want to hurt you”.

Smoking Herbs 🌿🍃✨

I’ve been smoking herbal cigarettes lately, as well as mixing herbs into my bowl when I smoke cannabis! I wanted to write a little post about my favorite smokable herbs, I am not super experienced so these are mainly just my current favorites! 

For me, smoking is a great grounding and centering exercise. The deep breathing and visuals of the smoke really help me calm down during tough times. 

🌹Rose: Rose is my favorite flavor for smoking, it adds a lovely aftertaste to whatever you mix it with. Rose is mainly used in love spells, making it useful for self love as well! 

🍃Mugwort: Used for divination and lucid dreaming. For me, it puts me in a dreamy, hazy mood. It amplifies your psychic abilities, making it easier to astral project, connect with a higher power, and more activities requiring an open mind. 

🌸Lavender: Calms and relieves stress, lavender is also used in spells that involve love. Smoking lavender is great for a mix of aromatherapy and breathing exercises for stress relief. Breathe in, take in the smell and taste of the lavender, and breathe out any stress or negative energy. 

🌼Chamomile: Relaxing, relieves stress, promotes restfulness! Chamomile relaxes the mind and body, helping to melt away anxiety. If you have trouble sleeping, try smoking chamomile with a base mix (mullein/red raspberry/etc) to calm you down before bed!

🌿Mint: Smoking mint makes me feel so clean! It clears out your respiratory system and leaves a lovely taste behind. In spells, mint is used for healing and purification. 

My favorite mixes:

Lavender, chamomile, mugwort, mullein for good rest

Chamomile, rose, lavender, cannabis for general calm and stress relief

Mint+ anything 

Rose+ anything

This thread is making me wet

“I voted for a guy who wants to take rights away from people I love and got backlash for it :(”

“I voted for a Vice President who caused an AIDS outbreak as governor of Indiana while also supporting conversion therapy and other anti-LGBT legislation and now my gay son won’t talk to me :-(”
