OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

I've been using OCS too and the delivery is really predictable. I have to go pick it up at the post office but it's always really quick.

Same for me. We'll see how this delivery goes tomorrow. Pretty quick considering I ordered on Thursday afternoon with the holiday in there too. Came from BC as well.
 
I'm in an apartment building across the street from a post office, so it's fine but yeah if you're in a house that's pretty perfect.

I live in a house and never got the courier or drop on doorstep option when I go on the site. It always warns me that I'll have to pick it up at the post office. How rude. I must live in the fucking boonies (I don't).

Anyway it's the only reason I didn't order from there. I expect luxury fucking service.

The illegal online shops I use simply pop the stuff in a 2 day envelope. For me, that's most convenient as I don't care to "sign" for it, or whatever other face to face interaction is involved with a courier.

Though, I noticed one website got busted...so perhaps the Feds are starting to crack down. It's about time -- how hard is it to send warrants to all these bootleggers violating the law openly.

Yeah some of the sites you recommended to me (and many others recommended on Reddit) are completely shut down. I did order from one of them to get my CBD full spectrum wax thingo. Tastes beautiful. It's fine and made me feel nice but made me sleepy - im assuming that little bit of THC in it made me feel nice and the CBD is just for show/placebo. Unfortunately I'll have to eyeball my dosage since my food scale doesn't do mg so I may have taken more than needed. Or maybe it was right. I don't know.
 
It's a wax that I literally just scraped up and dissolved under my tongue and called it a day. They come in 1g containers and the goal is to take 10-20mg per dose so I tried to eyeball it the best I can. I think I might have gone too far on day one. One day I'll get the right dose and I'll just know by eye how much to take.

Keep in mind my tolerance with fucking anything is trash these days. Shocking considering the amount of weed I used to smoke and booze I used to drink. The fact that I can even get a buzz from this stuff with minimal THC should embarass me but fuck it, being a lightweight saves money.

I do find the whole thing a bit odd. So out in the open.

Bad numbers for new cases in U.S. today, though maybe it’s a sign of more testing.

Looking at stats for rest of world... Brazil, Russia, etc. I don’t really trust them. I don’t think they know how many cases they have.
