Have you used edibles before? They take time to kick in, so go slowly. It's easy to go from "I feel nothing" to "I feel the inside of my eyes. I feel the inside of my eyes? Fuuuuuuck."
Is it legal in your state? I'm intrigued by the notion of buying weed as though it were wine.

I feel smoke from burning the stuff, even through a bong, is way harsher than vaping. Vapes may also be harsh if you don't inhale slowly and don't over do it. Less is more.

That bong will be a bitch to clean. Get something with a simple shape that's less maintenance. Remember that you're also going to need a glass bowl and (glass filter if it isn't a pull-through type). The bowls are cheap so buy a couple extra in case you drop it and break it. Cheapest thing to use to clean your bong is isopropanol and coarse salt. The "bong cleaners" are a waste of money.
Change your bong water daily at least so the bong doesn't reek as well.

I am so goddamn sick of the taste of bongwater that I’ve taken to rolling joints lately. They’re so much fun.
Of course now that I’m an “eldergay” at 42, my tolerance isn’t what it was at 19, and pot is a lot stronger now, so I have to use my oldest pot on hand (I’ve had it about two years). That’s the only way I can smoke a whole joint and not get annihilated.
I have a very simple mini glass bong that I’ve been using for about a year (after taking about a 5-year break from pot), and the taste of my marihuana is almost always ruined by the bong taste — even when I put fresh water in it. It’s bothering me more now than it ever did from age 19 to ~36. Just so sick of it. Can’t afford a vaporizer at the moment.

For me its the same effect as a cocktail. You will need to experiment with different strains and potencies.

r15, I had tried a few prerolls of the specific delta 8 that I wanted to try and REALLY enjoyed it. It was much more like drinking alcohol than eating a gummy. By that I mean it didn't mess with my head, it just really steadily and reliably chilled me out in an immediate manner.
I don't partake throughout the day or very much at all so I just got an extremely inexpensive vape without any bells or whistles. I vape nicotine and also do not do bells or whistles for that- I tried a fancy high power rig and hated it. I got the attached and just take a couple of hits once in a while in the evening. I will link to the delta 8 in the next post.

I originally got gummies and prerolls and a vape cartridge here. I got both of the prerolls offered and the wedding cake cartridge. The cartridge was nice but gets extremely thick once it's been used half way. The prerolls were as I said, just lovely, the perfect high for me. Not stoned, just extremely mellow and cheerful. Because I liked the prerolls so much I ditched the edibles and got a quarter of each of the Indica dry flower and White Rhino.

Sorry r15, I didn't answer part of your question. I was a prodigious smoker when I was a teen. I hated it but, it's what we did in small towns. I would cough and choke whether it be by pipe, bong or joint. Vaping a cartridge or dry herb is great because it's best at a really low heat. for example, I vape nicotine at 4.3 volts (11.6 watts) and a delta cartridge at 2.95 volts (5.8 watts).

Anyone know what would be the best strain and delivery system for someone with horrible chronic pain? My mother got some really low dose pills of some sort on the recommendation of the person at the dispensary because she had never used anything before and they did nothing. She's been on pain meds for a long time, if that affects what she should get due to acclimation in her body to reactions to pain mediating medications.
I suggested she try some sort of gummy because she can have some control over how much she takes rather than popping some pill form with a set amount. I'm not sure she'd be open to vaping. Any suggestions for strain, THC/CBD levels, and delivery system? I've read a bunch of stuff but would like some real world input. Thanks.

Trazodone gave my boyfriend horrible nightmares and a “hangover” the following days. His father, at the end of his life, was prescribed it as well and it gave him terrible nightmares too. Maybe it works for other people, but there is no reason to choose it over marijuana, if one already is amenable to marijuana. Frankly I have no idea why someone would suggest it as a better alternative, but maybe I missed a post somewhere.
When the vet prescribed it for my dog’s fireworks anxiety, my boyfriend wouldn’t let me give it to him because of the side effects he’d experienced. We stuck with melatonin for the dog.

R37, the short answer is everyone will react slightly differently (or a lot differently) to various strains of pot. So using a particular strain isn’t guaranteed to relieve pain even if it’s indicated for that, at least not in the way that opiates or analgesics work.
I suggest looking at Leafly (they have an app as well as regular website) and their listings for pain-relief strains. From there, you can click on each strain and read reviews (but don’t expect the world from those reviews… some of the people are barely literate).

rescue-chick, try to remember to change your mini bongs’ water every day. It gets so gross, and any delicious taste you might get from your fresh strains will be overwhelmed by that ashtray/dirty-bongwater taste. Once the inside of the stem and the glass get dirty, I don’t know how the hell to really clean them effectively. Scrape the resin out of the stem as best you can, I guess. Not sure about the rest of the inside. In my nearly 25 years of bong use, I’ve never really gotten one clean.
This is one of two reasons why I really want to get a good vaporizer, like a Pax brand. The other reason is the vapor is a bit better on the lungs (as well as more potent!) than water-filtered smoke.

Hi, Op. I use vape pens and edibles. It's not inexpensive, especially because I do it daily (for pain and to sleep). The vape cartridges for the pens run nearly $60 for 0.5 gram, while the THC content is usually from 85-90% potency. The edible chocolate bar costs around $29 for 100mg of THC.
The edible that I use is EgoBrands' Sugar Free Dark Chocolate by Evergreenorganix.com. (It's probably a hybrid strain, since it doesn't list whether it's sativa, indica or a hybrid.) It tastes just like a Hershey's chocolate candy bar, but it takes an hour or two to kick in.
The vapes work almost instantly, although the buzz is gone more quickly than the edible. So, I do both. (I'm a THC whore, darling.) Actually, I like to vape first, get the munchies, and then eat come great tasting THC chocolate.
There are a lot of vape pens on the market. I have three kinds:
1. airopro - Almost a failsafe pen, works every time. (It vibrates to let you know it's working.) It takes a specific type of cartridge which can't be used in other vape pens.
2. Select - It nearly always works well. Very few problems. It takes any of the cartridges with 7-threads (Not sure of the threads in the screw-on part; I think they said 7. Anyway, you can use different brand's cartridges in it, not just the Select vape cartridges.)
3. Indo (or Indo Cart) - This one frequently doesn't successfully draw any smoke when attempting to vape. I used it for almost a year before jettisoning it.
One negative thing that I've noticed about these particular vape cartridges is that they can produce a very pungent spicy odor indoors. Take that into account if you're going tom vape indoors, for instance.
I haven't dabbed yet, but I'm considering it. (Supposedly less smoke/vape, more THC and more intense effect.)

| by Anonymous | reply 46 | November 27, 2021 9:59 PM |
Hi, r42 . Yes; extracts. Time of effect is difficult to specify, because it depends greatly on the individual (e.g., body size, tolerance to THC, strain of weed, amount of THC ingested). I don't do flower very often anymore, because there's too much smoke, plus the bong cleaning/j-rolling.
I have a high tolerance because of nearly daily THC usage over an extended time period. I typically inhale deeply and hold it in to max out the THC ingestion. (At this point, I'm no longer concerned about any deleterious health effects on my lungs.) A good vape buzz will typically last me about 20 minutes or so until I need to refresh.
The chocolate edible's effects are dose-dependent. I'll do 100mg total daily, taking 50mg doses at 90 minutes apart. Then I sit on the couch and vegetate to sleep. It works.

I was a serious pot smoker for a long time and never got a "high tolerance" to it. 100mg of THC in an evening would gag me.

As to the differences in effects between edibles, I think I get a better, longer high with chocolate; but I could be wrong. It is ingested more quickly, I think. Also, I'm vaping along the edible, so my guesstimates are just weed smoke and mirrors, in a sense.
I'm r 47/r 44, and I'm a weed-a-holic (apparently).

I am an Eldergay living in Orlando, FL. I got my MMD card just before the pandemic hit and could not have imagined not being with it. I knew nothing when I began and started watching stoners on Youtube to see how to do it. I have tried weed, vape, edibles, creams, tinctures and and chocolates. However, for me, I have found that microdosing a sativa vape during the day keeps me in neutral and productive. For a long time, I thought the indica was what I needed to control the rapid thoughts, but no, it just put me to sleep. I find the sativa organizes me and controls to manic bursts, oddly enough.

r49 For me, the key for the chocolate edible is to space out the two 50mg doses.
I once did 100mg in 10 minutes. After about 45 minutes, a good-then-great-then-crazy-great buzz occurred, which lasted about an hour or so. But then, I became physically comatose while still completely conscious. I was sitting on my couch, my chin on my chest and my eyes closed, completely unable to move. I was fully cognizant of my situation, but I couldn't move at all. I remember thinking, "I hope I don't have to go to the bathroom anytime soon." It was weird being rational (stoned, but rational) and trapped in an immobile body. Eventually, I was able to fall over on my side on the couch and fell asleep.
And that was my report on 'What I did last Summer: My trippiest experience with my friend, THC.'

There are two totally different ways to vape marijuana. The more popular way is the oil cartridges and the vape pen, but you have the same health risks as with e-cigarettes. Dry plant vaporizing is the way to go - the devices are more expensive but so totally worth it. The Pax is a good all-around basic vaporizer but if you're serious about it you should look into the Volcano Vaporizer, which I've had for about the past 14 years and is worth every penny.
I smoked out of bongs for a long time and within a month of using the Volcano I couldn't believe the difference in my respiratory system. Years on and I don't notice any diminished lung capacity. It's also the most efficient way to use your herb - I had to have my unit repaired and went back to a bong and a Pax for a while and I noticed I was going through plant a lot faster. The only problem is my tolerance is through the roof because you're using the A-bomb of weed for day-to-day use.
And I notice there's even a deal on Volcanoes right now, I've never seen them under $400. They're sturdy as fuck and customer service is great (mine got dropped one too many times and didn't heat up all the way but it was a very easy and inexpensive repair.)

It keeps my inner Karen at bay. I like to smoke a sativa (upper) before the gym. Blue Dream is my favorite strain. Ease and HeyEmjay will deliver right to you. A lot of people advocate for vapes, but I found when I smoked vapes, the body high was a little different and I felt more winded that I did just smoking weed. The vapes felt worse on my lungs, but maybe that's just me. Indicas are less heady and more mellow. Maybe try a hybrid. I love weed. I don't really enjoy alcohol and weed works very well for me.

The electorate to Seattle's City Council is what scabies are to the rest of us, unenlightened, uneducated, unwoke, yobbos.
The already tried it once when they sought to impose an income tax. But the enlightened ones in their deluded and dangerous, not to mention toxic, hubris, failed to realize the illegality of such a sweeping move. Oh! I hear the call to prayer coming from downtown. If I'm not outside in five minutes I'll be fined!

Any indica strain, R79, really. There are even high-CBD strains that hardly have any “psychotropic” effects and don’t get you high so much as they relax you.
Gummies and not chocolates would probably be best for sleep. 5-10mg doses.

There are also "hybrid" strains that blend Indica and Sativa.

Why are gummies better than chocolate? (They're not, some people are allergic to chocolate, or some don't like the fake sugar or flavor of gummies. Etc.) R79 you can buy one set of each, and advise not to start 5-10mg, go even lower at first like 2.5. I take about an hour before I want to be asleep and wind down at the same time every night. Relax.
I support people getting off synthetic sleep drugs and tapping into their own resources if possible; edibles eased me off of benzos, which I still have on hand occasionally.

I get my edibles from a legal cannabis store and they are very reliable. I know exactly what each edible will do to me. In CA, edibles are 10 mg, and you can get Sativa, Indica and hybrids. In MA, edibles are limited to 5 mg and cost almost twice as much as CA...
I tried vaping but it causes me to cough repeatedly.

Yes LA County R86. Are there different rules in different counties?
I spend most my time in NY and hence I go to MA for cannabis most of the time. But when I visit CA I bring a few large gummie vitamin bottles and pack them with edibles to fly home with.

Not sure TBH. I was asking because LA county is where I would buy my weed products as well, and I'm looking for a really good, reliable dispensary. I'm reading through the Yelp reviews but always good to get recommendations.

[quote][[R79]], why do you want to give up trazodone? It's relatively harmless and non-addictive.
as others have noted above, it's the dreams. trazodone is not a bad as seroquel which I tried for sleep, but it produced such intense and vivid dreams all night long, i would wake up having slept all night, but feeling as if i had been awake because of the agitated dreams.
looking for something to help me get, and stay, asleep, without the dreams

R89 I use 100 - 150 mg Trazdone at night, agree with weird dreams, and was able to go down on the dose by using edibles. Some nights I don't need the Trazodone at all. And I feel better rested, although I am a tiny bit high in the AM.

Although I love the idea of vapes I have had the same problem as others here. They give me a congested cough and feel much harsher on my lungs than flower so I stick with that and gummies now. I've always been very curious about a dry vape so maybe I will try one and see how I like it.
Anyway have fun with it OP. It's the best drug in the world.

I love pot so much. I get stoned every night. Thanksgiving night, I rolled and smoked two whole joints myself. Then I hit the bong.
I just wish I could get Maui Wowie in New York.

At my local dispensary, I just bought some edible THC pills that are cheaper than the sugar-free chocolate edibles that I've been using. Two ~100mg tablets (200 mg total) cost $26, vs $29 for 100mg of chocolate edibles; so, effectively half the price of the chocolate edible. I'll try it tonight, and post if I survive. If not, you can have my things.

I'm just surprised someone hasn't started a troll thread by now..."I'm Going To Start Using Heroin", "I'm Only Going To Start Eating Pussy", something of that sort.
Anyway, I fully support the legalization of marijuana, but don't use it very often. I'd love to explore all sorts of edibles, and strains, and such. I really believe it could help my anxiety amd depression. And it looks like it would be fun as hell, truth be told.

I live in Chicago and weed is legal now, but I still just buy 2 ounces at a time from my dealer out in Washington State, at $200 bucks an ounce its cheaper than at the weed store and seems just as strong to me. I also just smoke out of a pipe, in fact my newest pipe is a miniature corn cob pipe for $3.00 dollars from Missouri Meerschaum, it works great and at 3 bucks you can buy a bunch of them.
Edibles were fine, but I found myself toking off my pipe waiting for the edibles to kick in. Also bongs are too much work, and that spilled bong water is so nasty also there is no way to really clean the rank build up out of bongs.

r96, r97 In an earlier post, I mentioned I use 100mg edibles (chocolate) almost every night. I usually take 50mg, wait about 90 minutes, then do another 50mg; so, a total of 100mg 90 minutes apart. I also vape during the evenings. I'll try the same dosages with these pills tonight. (I once did 100mg in 10 minutes. I don't think I'll do that again. I posted about that in an earlier post. Sorry, but I'm too lazy to look up the post number.)

Yep. In Boston I get it either at a dispensary or through a friend. On the Cape, if I need any, I get it delivered from a nearby dispensary or go pick it up.
I love being able to have alcohol and weed delivered.

PS, I have never baked with it. I'd be a bit nervous not knowing what the effects would be....how long it takes to kick in, how many to eat, etc. It also seems like a bit of a hassle.
If anyone has any suggestions in this regard, I'd love to hear them. Also, is there any benefit to eating brownies with weed rather than just smoking?
