Explains the downfall of Elmo [1]. Bro hasn’t been the same since that fateful day on JRE.

>"I mean, it's legal, right?" asked the Tesla founder, before taking a drag on the joint.

"Tesla founder." You'd hope that the BBC would get right that he's not the founder but an early investor that ended up taking over the company and kicking out the original founders.

Was it implied that was the first time he’d ever tried? That wasn’t my impression

Schizophrenia develops in the twenties. Whatever his problem is, I don't think that is it.

Why intentionally mis-name someone?

When I hear people say that, it just sounds like a blind hater/memeist/chronically online person and I discount their views entirely.

We literally still call Hitler Hitler. We can call Elon Elon no matter how bad you think he is.

Why do you even care. If I call him JackAssElon what harm does that cause you or society that you feel the need to chastise people for it? It's kinda odd to see you jumping to his defense when literally no one else gives a shit what we call that fuckwit.

This may be a joke, but with the ultra-potent weed available nowadays, one time is really all it takes to cause serious psychological changes.

"ultra-potent weed" is weak and you need to stop with that talking point. SWIM are on 90%+ THC cartridges or concentrates 24/7. Smoking the strongest weed, low 30%s, is a tolerance break thing or for fun.

THC% has skyrocketed over the last 20 years, that’s well documented. I know from experience that one time is all it takes to mess you up.

A lot of things can mess you up after only one time. For example, I got hit by a truck in July of last year :) all my injuries have healed but I still have protective reflexes and some really strong emotions about it. Trauma is powerful!

take less? like saying cocaine concentration has skyrocketed. you did too much, calm down, hasn't killed very many people.

> one time is really all it takes to cause serious psychological changes

So its the same as seeing your own mother naked
