If you smelled pot coming from someone's house would you call the police? Could the police do anything?
Sometimes yes we can. It all depends.Back in January, 2017 a neighbor called that she could smell the odor of burning marijuana emanating from her next-door neighbor’s apartment. We responded to the location. It wasn’t my call. I was acting as the cover officer. As soon as we got out of our cars we could smell the marijuana. Last January was very cold and snowy and everyone had their doors and windows closed and the odor was still very strong — that’s pretty impressive. So we made contact with the calling party and she directed us to the right apartment. We knocked on the door like the gentlemen we are and, incredibly, the door opened.We were slammed in the face by a wall of marijuana smoke. I could barely see that there were three men in the room behind the homeowner who had thoughtfully opened the door to us. They were smoking a couple really pretty, and expensive, glass bongs (Oregon is next door and there is a head shop just a little ways across the state line). They were all in their late fifties and just kicking-back watching the NFL AFC Championship game (New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers), smoking some grass, drinking beer and eating pizza.The responsible officer explained to the occupants why we were there and asked if they were indeed smoking pot. They said yes they were and let us into the apartment when we asked if we could come in (the other officer and I are big believers in the soft approach first). We confiscated the bongs and pot, and the primary officer issued them a summons for possession of a controlled substance. The homeowner also got a ticket for possession of drug paraphernalia (the two bongs which he stated were his). They were all nice guys and it was obvious they were very experienced pot smokers. I kept the door open since the air was so heavy with pot smoke. It was making me a little sick actually. We thanked them for their cooperation (I felt like we were British cops) and left. The whole call was very civilized.

What are the type of chemicals that are used in K2 also known as synthetic marijuana and what do they actually do?
Spice, do you mean? I have no idea what the stuff actually is, although I know there are some others on here who can speak more intelligently about the actual chemicals and how they're really acting in your body. There are different ones used, I've heard they're sometimes sprayed on potpourri, sometimes even catnip. But spice, it is not like marijuana. I don't know cause I've never smoked it, it's possible it feels like marijuana somewhat when you smoke it... I've had smokers describe it to me as sort of a hallucinogenic marijuana. I've had people describe some really horrifying 'bad trip' experiences on it. But I have never, ever seen anyone get strung out on pot like I've seen people get on spice. No kidding strung out, just as bad as any heroin junkie I've seen. Truly, I've seen women sell their bodies, men steal from their families and friends, I've seen people pull all the shoplift-and-return schemes, gift card scams, and every other junkie trick out there, so they can go get another bag of spice. It's ridiculous to me, and it doesn't seem to get to everyone that way. But of course no drug gets everyone the same, and there are some people who just inexplicably can't handle some drugs. But really, I've seen spice do a lot of people like I've never seen pot do anyone, ever. To actually answer your question though, what does it do... it's been described to me as something of a cross between taking mushrooms and smoking pot. I've had people describe some crazy hallucinations on some varieties of it. I've heard others talk about just mild drowsy feelings on other varieties. There are a whole bunch of different chemicals that different manufacturers use to make the stuff, combined with a whole bunch of different base plant-matters that they spray it on, so there's really probably a huge variance in effects just depending on what you get.
What type of dipping sauce is typically used for Chinese hot pot?
Coincidentally, I'm having a Chinese-style hot pot tonight, so I'll share a few pictures.Most commonly, I see a kind of Chinese BBQ sauce (called sha cha jiang in Mandarin) which is the primary ingredient used. It's not the 'typical' type of BBQ sauce you might be thinking of, like the kind you would have with American-style BBQ ribs. This is the Chinese version. You can buy this at any Chinese supermarket. Several different brands will usually be offered. The five-ounce jar in the picture below ran me about $3 or so and should be enough for at least 10-15 servings, depending upon how strong you like your sauce.The primary ingredient in sha cha jiang is dried shrimp, but it also contains soybean oil, brill (fish), garlic, ginger, shallots, sesame, coconut powder, and chili pepper. It's a little strong if you eat it all by itself, so I usually mellow out the taste with a little shoyu (soy sauce) and sesame oil.You can really add anything you like, but typical 'add ons' would include finely chopped garlic, ginger, green onions and cilantro. If you like your sauce a little spicier, you can add fresh and/or dried chili peppers.Here is what my 'sauce bar' looks like tonight.(L to R, starting from the back row) sesame oil, soy sauce, chili oil, Chinese BBQ sauce, chili sauce, green onions, chopped garlic, chopped cilantro, raw eggs (optional), chopped ginger, fresh chili peppers (I used Thai chili), dried chili pepper flakes. Here is the final product, when it's all mixed up. It's not much too look at, but it sure is tasty.In the event that there is no Chinese supermarket in your neck of the woods, here is a do it yourself recipe you can try. > Sha Cha Jiang 沙茶醬 (Chinese Royal BBQ Sauce)
Which are better for cooking, ceramic or porcelain pots?
Porcelain is a type of ceramic. The enamel layer on a cooking pot is also a ceramic material.The main difference between the ceramics is in how high of a temperature the clay was fired at.The clays used for porcelain are fired at a high enough temperature that they fuse more and become much less porous, more glasslike.Stonewear is fired to a lower temperature and it is more porous. It is waterproof but it can absorb stains and odours. Usually the surface is glazed to prevent this.Earthenware is more like the clay in a plant pot.It soaks up water, fats, stains, odours.Now which is better for cooking?That is harder because it depends on what you are cooking.Clay bakers are earthenware. They are usually soaked in water before being used and their ability to hold an even temperature is what makes them popular with many cooks.Earthenware also tends to be more resistant to thermal shock than the harder fired ceramics are.Stonewear is good for roasting and baking too.I have some stonewear breadpans that work very nicely.Porcelain I tend to think of more as tableware than cooking ware, but that is only the fine or bone china. I would not normally put a china plate in the oven. I certainly would not use a porcelain baking pan on a stove top element.All ceramics can crack over time and often glazed plates will show surface cracks (crazing) but putting high fired porcelain or normal glass where it will suffer thermal shock is a recipe for a disaster. The heat changes, especially the pot getting hotter and colder in different parts, sets up stresses in the material from the different expansion of the material.Ceramic cooking ware for me is usually enamelled cast iron. I find it very good and it does not react with the food, but you need to be careful about chipping the finish.I find the cheaper pressed steel enamelled pots do not last very long. I am thinking of the standard canning type pots. Usually somebody will drop one then it chips and begins rusting.
