Simple. Hilarious.

THC: a miracle worker

Today I am reviewing THC. No, not delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, the THC we are most familiar with. But a product called The Hangover Cure (or THC, hilariously ). I was skeptical at first because I had tried hangover pills (mostly made of calcium carbonate) years before on nights where I drank heavily in college, but they never worked.

Don’t Hangovers Suck??!

Now, I am not very prone to hangovers, so I have to do a lot of damage in order to get one. But when I do, yikes! The night I first tried The Hangover Cure I thought I had really messed up by drinking 3 very strong double cocktails and 5 or 6 beers. I tried The Hangover Cure that night and thankfully did not have a hangover the next morning when I woke up at 8am!

The second time I tried THC was after I had been drinking and smoking pot all day long til 3am at a music festival. After getting home, I mixed up two cups of THC for my friend and I.  He had drunk about 3 times what I had during the day and was, to say it politely, “heavily overserved”, so I thought it’d be interesting to see if it helped him any. When I woke up the next morning (again at 8am), we sat around talking for a few hours and I asked him if it helped. He said it did take the edge off the hangover he normally would have felt. And I felt pretty good. At 8am. The day after a festival!!!

You might become an early riser..

I woke up very early on both days I used The Hangover Cure. So I think it must really boost your energy levels. Looking back, I think the B & C vitamins caused me to not sleep as soundly as usual, and thus, awake early. My sleep patterns are extremely sensitive though. I doubt the average person would have a problem, especially if they drank a whole lot before using the THC.

Let’s talk dosage

On the night my friend and I tried it, we split a vial (their average serving size) because I didn’t think I needed a full one. Looking back, I think he probably needed a full vial’s worth. Though I think if you don’t get TOO trashed, a half vial could be enough. A friend of mine who has worked at a nutrition supplement store for years told me that a full tube would contain too many vitamins if you take a multi-vitamin supplement as well. He suggested that I skip my multi-vitamin on days when I use it to avoid getting excess vitamins. I think this is very good advice because THC contains a ton of vitamins (far above and beyond the recommended daily percentages). Please follow the directions & do not use more than one tube per day, regardless of how much you drink because of this concern.

This might be useful for other types of headaches..

Another interesting use I’ve found for this product is in relieving migraines. Due to my fibromyalgia, I get very bad headaches and migraines. These are near impossible to stop once they begin. I awoke with a borderline-migraine two days ago. I used half a tube of THC and it reduced the severity of my headache by about 30%! I plan on testing THC for headaches more in the future.

So, in summary:

PROS:

• Effective in preventing hangovers
• Great vitamin & mineral content
• Sleek packaging and a quick, convenient tube that’s easy to store in your pocket or purse
• Free shipping
• Excellent customer relations & service

CONS:

• May contain too many vitamins if combined with other supplements or a multi-vitamin, so take alone to avoid this
• High vitamin content may cause stomach discomfort for sensitive stomachs
• The high B & C Vitamin content may cause trouble sleeping in some
• Not the best taste in the world, though certainly not the worst (but it could be hard to stomach if you’re very nauseous due to alcohol)

In conclusion, this is a great product to aid in harm reduction after drinking alcohol. Remember to stay hydrated (with water!) as well while drinking. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And with THC, you can get that ounce (vial) of prevention very easily. I highly recommend this product. As low as $2.99 per vial, THC can give you affordable, reliable hangover relief! Prices are $19.99 for 6 vials ($3.33 per vial) or 10 vials for $29.99. Super fast free USPS Priority shipping is included. And remember, Never drink & drive!

Wow, a Stonyview reader sent this in (stonyview@gmail.com) and blew us away. Amazing.

For those of you who didn’t know, last weekend (August 15th and 16th) was Seattle Hempfest, the premier Hempfest in the United States. Your Stonyview crew took advantage of their proximity to the event to go check it out and report back with their experience attending.

The entrance you choose matters:

If you’re headed to the event, do NOT enter through the main entrance, it’s a total cluster, full of long lines and waiting:

We took the Silo entrance and were surprised at how few people were going through it:

It’s all legal, for the weekend:

While there are a lot of police on hand, rest assured, bringing your favorite herb along is NOT going to get you in trouble. Throughout the event grounds, people were lighting up quite obviously, and no one cared. This seems to be an unspoken rule of Hempfest, really, and we wished we’d had more of a heads up. This guy clearly knew what was up:

Whatever you do, don’t miss out on the Mighty-O donuts:

Maybe you don’t like sugar or baked goods. Maybe you don’t like people or puppies either. But if you happen to be like the rest of us, you MUST stop by the Mighty-O donuts stand, they’re tremendous:

If you’re looking for a piece, a pipe, a vaporizer or any other novelty item well… you’re in LUCK!

We’re going to have to devote an entire post to what we saw there, but here’s a quick look at some of what was available:

Finally, come with an appetite for THC goodies, but be cautious.

We’re not saying who, but someone in our group might have been knocked on his/her ass by this little treat (ok, fine it was the Sleepless Stoner..).

If you were there and have other tips, let us know in the comments, we’ll update as we hear from you!

Also, as an added bonus, below is the iReport on the event:
