Oh man, for someone like you who is already so enthusiastic about music, the potential of your mind being blown by listening to your favorite albums after a bit of weed is a near certainty. Sensory experiences can be heightened in wonderful ways.

My advice is take it really slow. A great thing about the marijuana being legal in many places now is that you can read the packaging and know exactly how much THC / CBD you are consuming. I'd recommend trying a low dose, like 5mg of THC, maybe a gummy, then wait an hour and a half to see how you feel before you potentially try more.

Most people I know who have a serious aversion to marijuana went overboard this one time, had a horrible experience full of paranoia, and swear it off for life.

Also, it definitely can induce anxiety and paranoia with some people/personalities, that's the other reason to try a small amount first. But again, I feel like the serious paranoia stories always come from overdoing it. This is one of the fascinating things about THC / CBD, while some people experience anxiety from consuming it - for others it is literally their medicine to help calm their anxiety.

I think it rather depends on the person than on the amount you have. For instance, a friend of mine once smoked very very little and got a full blown panic attack with paranoia. He's indeed never done it again as far as I know. But it's a good advice to @NathanRicaud just to try a little bit first and see how it works for him.

Yeah, I really wonder how that will turn out when it hits store. Good luck to everyone wanting to pick it up. I also got it on CD. For me it will depend on price and how much it is limited whether I pick it up today. Great album though, without a doubt. :)

This is making me wish I had friends who smoked weed 😖

I definitely will take it slow. The only thing is that I’m someone who gets really excited about things. Like I’m a very passionate person. So I’m sure I wouldn’t get addicted to it but would have to be careful with that haha

I don’t have anxiety or depression so that’s good in terms of the likelihood of addiction, but I just want to make sure I do high quality weed first, you know what I mean!? If it was legal in Victoria/Melbourne, I definitely would’ve smoked by now as I’d be asking everyone for some and would be enquiring about the quality of it etc.

I’m just so interested because the brain is so fascinating! And music and food are really strong passions of mine!

But you want to get the When The Pawn vinyl! Just don’t buy some new releases or other records. Listening to this masterpiece at a higher quality will be so joyful! The VMP pressings of Tidal and The Idler Wheel both sound stunning! I know it will be the same case with When The Pawn! ✌🎯

i can live with lower quality if i can avoid headaches this way. theyll look good next to the Idler Wheel CD in the shelf. always good to have something to listen to while cleaning vinyl.

Nothing is stopping VMP!!! 💪🌈🥊🎸🤟

Not a humungous, contagious pandemic. Not a tremendously terrible store migration, and certainly not they’re shipping mistakes! Nothing is shutting down the best damn record club! 🙅‍♂️🙌💯

Remember late last year/early this year when you thought there was a 60% chance VMP won’t make it further than July 2020 @Joe Mac ? Looks like they’re still got a lot of gas to keep em going 🚗🚨🔥😜😎

So you’re saying that hard work they put in on the thanksgiving break was the magic bounce back ? And that anyone who got Charlie Brown Christmas for Valentine’s Day, owes VMP a hand written apology ?

They’ve proved me wrong by maintaining a customer base who seem to be happy to repeatedly beaten around the head if they get shiny coloured things.

MASSIVE WIN!

No, no one should be apologising to VMP! Yes, there’s been a lot of hiccups which had resulted in people not getting their records etc. But what I’m just saying is, is that is shows how great VMP is at doing what they do, if they can still survive the COVID pandemic and other hurdles they’ve had (like the catastrophic store migration site). That’s all ☺️

I get it. We have seen the indie variants. Guess what. VMP is bringing you a blue on cloud black variant. It’s basically black but blue if you hold it up to the light but please only hold it when putting it on the table and back into the sleeve.

this exclusive variants will be $5-12 more than the standard variant but cmon. This color is exclusive AND we are throwing in an obi strip. That’s right an obi strip. We keep saying it over and over and hope you’re excited about the obi strip as much as we had anticipated.

So you’re saying VMP are the cockroaches of the vinyl industry? Sounds about right 🤪

in all honesty I’ll be trying to find one of the workarounds this evening to get the album on member shipping without resubscribing 😂
