  • The situation here is very, very unique. The state is a swing state that has been trending slowly Democratic. When the AZ Supreme Court ruling came out, Democrats began salivating at the thought of a gigantic turnout for the pro abortion ballot initiative. Any smart GOP politician in the state began to shit their pants because abortion rights ballot initiatives could surge the Democratic turnout in all the state political races and could turn AZ dark blue based on this one single issue. The writing is on the wall though… AZ will be a blue state, but it’s not going to happen quickly as long as the GOP doesn’t piss off the state with unpopular policies.

    Stay under 5mg. Wait at least 4 hours before taking a second gummy. The general tolerance for edibles is lower than smoking. Edibles also last a lot longer and hit harder than smoking.

    Definitely don’t drink while high as I would not recommend it unless you were staying put in one place.

    Try to follow the crowds; let the locals and other tourists make the first move crossing the streets and crosswalks.

    My impression of the cops there is that they are very strict if you’re stumbling around being a danger to the drivers and tourists. Being impaired in Vegas on the street is kinda tolerated since it’s an open container legal place.

    Enjoy and stay safe!

    All of our swear words are Catholic church vocabulary words. As a never Catholic I always find them hilarious when I say them. They can basically be used as stand-ins for words in the same way as we use “fuck” in English or strung together.

    “Saint Ciboire” was my grandmother’s favorite when I would fuck something up.

    baptême [ba.tae̯m]: “baptism”
    câlice [kɑːlɪs] (calice): “chalice”
    ciboire [si.bwɑːʁ]: “ciborium” or “pyx”, receptacles in which the host is stored
    criss [kʁɪs] (Christ): “Christ”, or crisser, a more emphatic version of sacrer, both verbs meaning “to curse”
    esti [əs.t͡si], [ɛs.t͡si] or ostie [ɔs.t͡si] (hostie): “host [cookie]”
    maudit [moːd͡zi] (m) or maudite [moːd͡zit] (f): “damned” (or “damn”)
    sacrament [sa.kʁa.mã] (sacrement): “Sacrament”
    saint [sẽ]: “Saint”, added before others (ex. saint-simonaque, saint-sacrament, etc.)
    simonaque [si.mɔ.nak] (simoniaque): from the sin of simony
    tabarnak [ta.baʁ.nak] (tabernacle): “tabernacle”; typically considered the most profane of the sacres
