VOLUME - ISSUE 1

VOLUME

stands for the outcasts. the freaks. the losers. the queers. the punks. the people.

Volume never will stand for racism, sexism, queerphobia, transphobia, ableism, hatred or bigotry of any kind. -

all the shit I say in this zine are all just things I've researched and so may not be 100% accurate, so always make sure to do your research before you come to a decision!Volume was created by Mikey!

I don't know how this would ever come into possession of anyone who doesn't know me but if somehow you don't, I'm a silly little queer and neurodivergent fool.

I did it for you: How much weed should I take?

Before we start, it's important to note that not all strains of weed are the same and so variations are absolutely a possibility. I definitely recommend starting a little bit lower than you think you can handle and work your way up, just to be on the safe side.

If it's your first time, the recommended intake is 5mg. This is about half of an average pot edible depending on how it's cooked.

Always remember - using edibles will take longer to hit your system than a joint or a bong hit, so try to wait it out for thirty minutes at least before going in for another round. The effects of the drug tend to last longer if taken via edibles.

If you're more a fan of a joint or a bong hit, 0.1g of weed will be enough to provide a 4mg hit of THC.

For a more complete picture of how much to use, I highly recommend the resource I found when writing thishttps://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-weed-101-thccalculator/

Always remember to do your own additional research or ask your local stoner for information that'll be more accurate to you.

The flavours were amazing and I tried the Durian and Miso White Chocolate, can't say anything else other than I'll be back.

There's some lovely touches like compostable packaging and the tasting spoons are reusable. Keep up the great work and welcome to the area.

Stand with us why having pronouns in your bio isn't just for trans people

If you've been on the internet at all in the past few years you may have seen all types of people putting she/her, he/him, they/them, or any other selection of pronouns in their bios, at the end of their work emails, or even in their LinkedIn. Pronouns next to someone's name indicate how they would like to be referred to. This is quite common in trans people's bios, to help people understand how to refer to them in a way that affirms their gender. So, why is it important to have your pronouns in your bio if you aren't a trans person? The long and short is that it shows you stand in solidarity with trans people and are helping normalise asking what people's pronouns are.

They say women can’t play guitar as well as men. I don’t play the guitar with my fucking vagina, so what difference does it make?
