National Marquette Day Student Partying Concerns MU Leaders

[Macallan 18]

How long does a buzz last after drinking 2 5mg drinks? And let's assume the person I'm asking for drank a couple beers afterwards.

From the experience of my friends and I it varies from person to person.

Start slow and give it some time. It can take a half hour or so before the buzz kicks in and I know too many people who drank half a can, didn't feel anything after 15 or 20 minutes, then drank the rest only to have the full effect of the first dose kick in, then the extra dose a half hour after and be faded for the night.

My advice is start slow, give it a half hour, see how you feel then increase the dose. This will help you figure out how much and how fast it works for you. Some of the higher dose cans, like the 50mg, have marks on the side so you can measure how much you are taking.

The companies discourage adding alcohol on top of the THC seltzer, but again, your mileage varies from person to person. Once you know how much seltzer gets the effect you want, you can try to add a beer and see how that goes.

This thread went from being "shocked" by the "behavior" of students to tips on drinking THC seltzers.


nice.

So what you're saying is that the thread has finally gotten useful.

How do seltzers compare to edibles? Is 5mg seltzer the same as 5mg edible in terms of "highness"? What about time to onset or duration of high?

If only students put THC seltzer in their BORGs instead of alcohol, we wouldn't be "shocked" by their "behavior". #MakeNMDSedateAgain

Is that a first for Scoop?

Cannabis edibles pass through the digestive system. The timing will vary based on a variety of things like whether or not you ate them on a full stomach, how fast your individual metabolism is, etc.

Cannabis drinks skip the digestive system and begin to enter your bloodstream soon after you take a drink so the high will hit you faster.

From my perspective, with THC drinks, it's easier to control your dose since they're usually lower in THC (2-10mg per serving) and the liquid format allows for more precise dosing, shotgun the can or take a shot. Edibles often contain higher THC doses (5-100mg+) and it can be tricky to accurately divide them to get a lower does from a high dose gummy.

You should host your own pregame where $20 gets you a BORG!

Due to Rocky, I'm interested again.

Did we ever get an update at all? How bad was senior night etc?

Heard we are opting out of the NCAA tournament due to the late start and safety concerns for students.

I'm worried.  Some of the students might start partying Thursday night...

I had never heard of a BORG before this thread. Jimmy Kimmel was talking about BORGs the other night - dozens of them were confiscated during NYC's St. Patrick's Day parade.

Let he who has not dartied with a borg throw the first stone.

Alot of zoomer/Gen-Z terms are silly but expected cultural progressions, but Ive always loved Darty.  I think its hilarious and somehow manages to encompass the energy of a great day drinking event.

I've resisted saying too much on this thread but I think we're missing something: Our attitude about alcohol consumption is at least a contributing factor to what happened in the dorms on NMD this year.

Not long ago, both of my children were graduated from a public university in Illinois. Both were able to get alcohol fairly freely by going to house parties. Unlike bars, where there is some training and associated regulation about how and when to serve people, there's none of that in student-run house parties. The result: weekends like NMD.

I won't say there weren't achohol-related problems when I was at Marquette. There were. Almost every woman on campus knew that drinking the punch at a dorm party in a men's dorm was toxic (yet, they did anyway too often). We had our share of alcohol problems. The night we won the NCAA, for example! But we also had the bars and we had experience drinking. People with a modicum of common sense learned early and the barss sort of knew when to cut someone off.

Morale: Just say "no" is nice, but I'm not sure it works.
