Getting high

Today I picked up some Platinum OG and just now tried it. It's got me really relaxed after having a heavy load of anxiety earlier.
 
Girl Scout is so gooood. For me I don't feel t at first then BAM it just starts hitting you & makes you feel good as hell. Great choice friend.

if you liked girl scout cookies id suggest next time you go to buy some weed, look around your area to see who has some quality Blue Cheese. great strain, one of my personal favorites.

Don't want to keep posting and have my name over the thread, don't know what the rules are for that but if I'm posting too much I'll gladly chill I just like this thread lol so a question have any of you tried granddaddy purp? It's one of my favorites, having dealt with some anxiety & stress it completely helps me calm down and feel relaxed. It's also really nice to look at.

Actually my question should be what's your favorite strain? To be honest I don't know if I can actually name my favorite, I enjoy a lot of them. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Haven't tried a lot but out of the strains I knew for sure, blue dream, white widow and super lemon haze, SLH was my favorite. The other strains fuck me up way more than SLH, such an energetic high that one.
 
Hello fellow stoners,

I have a half ounce of some dank ass weed. I want to make some funfetti cake. I was wondering how much weed should I use for the cannabutter. The recipe calls for half a stick of butter. So when making the cannabutter how many sticks should I use and how much of my bud should I use for one batch? Also, how long do you all recommend me to simmer the weed with the butter for? 1 hour on low?

Thanks!

my favorite strain is grape ape, such a beautiful indica strain. love the body buzz and how it still leaves you mentally clear. I'm not a huge fan of sativa so I always love when I get s chance to try some quality indica.
 
anyone trip before and become detached with their old sense of self, but without any sort of period without an ego? feel like I had to rebuild who I am and I'm not entirely sure what's changed yet
 
Newcomer to MJ, only started this week to deal with my worsening insomnia and other issues, and this $10 vape pen and this tanker of OG Presidential Kush is working wonders.

So I'm in it for the long haul, and want to get some real equipment, one for herb, one for concentrates (that's cartridges and tankers, right?). So if I was up for approx. $300 for each, which would you suggest? Would prefer both to be portable, and provide the best experience. For herb, Pax 2 vs. Magic Flight Box? Something else?

Thanks!

Man, I wouldn't be fucking around with concentrates quite yet if I were you. They'll seriously fuck you up if you aren't ready for them. Take your time and enjoy the herb while you still have a low tolerance.

Huh. Had no idea one was any stronger than the other. So I guess I'm looking for a good herb vaporizer, then.

Except for the fact that every dose is an overdose, sure. Go ahead. Waste your money on a device which wastes 90% of its battery life heating up inert plant carrier material in an attempt to vaporize the essential oils contained therein.

The future is CO2 oil in prefilled cartomizers that thread onto Ego style batteries with 510 connections. This is a fact.

You started in the future. Don't go back to the past dude.

Agreed. AutoDabbers blow away any of the herb vaporizers I've tried.
 
Born again here,

I used to do this all the time in high school, then started to get super paranoid and quit all together. Tried it again a few months ago and with the right company didn't think to much.

My question is i hear Vapes are a good way to go to avoid that paranoia feeling. Totally different high i'm hearing.

Any truth to this? Any suggestions?

Well I don't really know about that, you can get lighter hits with a vape for sure so the high isn't as intense but you can get really fucked too.

It depends on where your paranoia stems from. I can be socially paranoid when I'm high with friends, e.g. - I'm talking too much, they think I'm annoying, etc. If you're paranoid all the time, whether or not you're with people, then I don't think using a vape will make much of a difference. Check what strain you're using, too. Indicas can make you feel socially paranoid, while sativas can make you paranoid about other stuff b/c you feel as if your thought process is moving at light speed.

Similarly, vapes really only change your high if you're using an indica strain. Sativas vaporize really well because they don't have the concentration of CBD stuff - basically the stuff that makes you feel really relaxed and couch locked - so you get the full feel of sativas, while indicas can feel like they're lacking. If you're vaporizing an indica, then you may feel a difference in your levels of paranoia, but I can't be sure.

Thats good to know, maybe just taking it easy is the better way

Thats pretty interesting wasn't aware the different strains could have such an effect. I'll look into this more and see whats the best way to go. I haven't tried capes at all other than for a substitute for regular cigarette smoke, i've only heard things.

Yeah, sativa strains will give you much more of a cerebral high, and makes you feel a lot more creative, happy, energetic and content. Indicas on the other hand will give you much more of a body high, you'll feel super relaxed and grounded both mentally and physically. Both are great for different circumstances in my experience. I only smoke indica when I'm alone playing videogames or watching a movie for example, while I usually smoke my sativa (lemon haze is my favourite) when I'm out with friends.

Vaping can feel like a much "clearer" high, but there is still the potential to get very, uncomfortably stoned.

As others have mentioned, take it easy as you ease back in. People have it in their head that they need to keep taking hits, but if you are low-tolerance, one or two solid hits of good material can often be more than enough.

Distractions are the other biggest thing for staving off paranoia. Friends help that, and if you're alone try not to just sit there and let thoughts creep in. Play music, go make a cup of coffee, play some video games, do anything that won't let you just sit there in silence and think. This often works even if you start to go down that dark path...stop yourself, go do something else, and the bad vibes often melt away.

Speaking of vapes: My PAX 2 came in yesterday. Enjoying it so far, I'll post real impressions once I'm past the honeymoon phase, but I have to admit that the sheer simplicity of use is alluring.
 
Should I only be grinding as much as I plan on using that day, or can I grind up a whole bud, and leave the rest in the storage part of my new Shaker Diamond Grind?

The official answer is "no, you're not getting the freshest bud leaving it in there since it's not stored in an airtight environment sitting in your grinder".

My personal take: As long as you don't leave it in there for weeks, I don't think it's a huge deal.

Thats really good advice as well. Have to remember i'm not in high school anymore so little by little and i should be fine. The recommendations on keeping busy might help as well.

I don't know if it's allowed but do you think you could suggest a good Vape? would you recommend that PAX 2 you're currently using?

Also.. love the avatar

Depends on what you're looking for - portability, price, wax - concentrate - herb.

This site - http://www.vapecritic.com/ has really great and comprehensive reviews of all the good vapes out there.
 
There is something new that started popping up at the stores around Denver and that is selling 'finger hash' and I think it's kind of weird. Now, I've had my own before and it's really good but if you don't know, 'finger hash' is what you scrap off your fingers after cutting or bucking your plants. So, I've scrapped myself before to get a nice little chunk, but I find it kind of gross that these places are just scraping their fingers and selling it overpriced.

Ech. I work in a mall, which means frequent public restroom use, which means I am well aware that most of the population doesn't wash their hands. Nooooooo thank you.

I've only had it a day, so I dunno if I could really give my personal endorsement, but it seems just about everyone who bought one is happy with theirs. All the major issues of the PAX 1 seem to be resolved. Pretty spendy at $280 though.

I still think the Magic Flight Launch Box is a great vape if you don't mind getting the technique of use down. It's not as brain-dead simple as the PAX, but it's also a lot cheaper (I think I picked mine up at $80 or so, just be careful you don't buy a fake.) Might be a more reasonable amount to spend given that you're just getting back in.

Since I have a great hookup while I'm away from the States I went ahead and ordered a Crafty. This hand me down pen vape that doesn't have a cage and pretty much just combusts is so not doing it for me. Yeuch.
 
new vape pen I got today, sorry for the snapchat pic, but it was already saved on my phone so it's good enough. really smooth, love the flavor and the high is really nice and even. also Berry White is a great strain!

today is one of the happiest days of my entire life

I got a GTX 970 in the mail, and a Samsung 850 SSD.

I also found a connect after being dry in a new city for five months.

Come Sunday when I pick up.... it will be like a rebirth. Too bad I dont have my glass family any longer, guess I have to make do with my MFLB for now.

Can anyone recommend a personal size vaporizer? Only request I have is that no flavor is lost -- I don't want to taste burnt popcorn when I'm packing with blue dream or the like.

I went to a reggae festival and had an intense psychedelic-like experience with visuals included. I didn't know marijuana could be so strong. Mars OG is some crazy shit.

Grasshopper. It comes out in august though.

That's an awesome looking pen! I've considered getting one but idk.
 
Back in the Bay for the summer and am considering renewing my card. Idk though, don't really want to disclose my medical records and talk to my doctors about the card. Last time, just went in with nothing and told them about anxiety - saying I had never been treated for it lol.

Maybe I'll go somewhere else to get it renewed - somewhere known to be really lax about giving them out haha

I've never had them ask for actual medical records before. Also there's a place you can go inside Amoeba in SF that's good, it's where I went last time
 
A friend of mine's brother moved out of Denver and gave me a LOT of his (really shitty) homegrown. I can't blame the guy for the quality though, he's 55. Since there is really no way to smoke all of this weed, especially considering its quality, I'm making some cannabutter for my first time. Wish me luck, I'll post my results sometime later today!

Can I post pics if its pic worthy?
 
The product exceeded my expectations. Ate just a bit of butter on toast at 10am and am honestly still feeling some effects 12 hours later. That was the highest I've been in a long time.

So after like a week or so of Pax 2 ownership, I'm pretty damn happy.

It's a little unfortunate that they couldn't figure out a good way to ensure a full oven vapes evenly without the need to mix the material (the top of the oven that sits against the removable lid is the problem) and there's a small learning curve to packing (you want a full oven, packed reasonably tightly, but too tight causes drawing issues), but by and large it's an elegant product that is brain dead easy to use.

I think you definitely went the right route with that homegrown, although I personally don't mess with edibles too much. I find the high unpleasant in anything beyond a very low dose.

Lol I like that people are concerned about getting high at work. For those of you who do not get high: It's not as big of a deal as you think it is if you have a tolerance. For people who have been casually getting high for years, it's basically a mood enhancer for the day.

That being said, there is a HUGE difference between getting high and getting ripped/fucked up. Everyone has their "sober threshold", and you can only go sar far past it before you're unable to function properly. Even seasoned stoners have a breaking point.

It's not a horrible act to get high at work, but don't get so fucked up that you can't do your job correctly.

Yeah once you build up a tolerance you'll have to get high before work or you'll be all anxious and sweaty.

hahah

been there done that

would not build tolerance again

So my Colorado Dopecation stuff is all gone. I really enjoyed the variety, from Bruce Banner to go to sleep to Lemon Diesel during the day. I tried six different strains altogether and enjoyed all of them.

But now I am dry, dry, dry:( So sad to be old and unconnected.

On a slightly different topic, I was disappointed with the edibles I tried. I picked up some hard candy edibles, but I barely got a buzz off them. They tasted good, but not much in the way of a kick.

Shame Colorado is thirteen hours away:(

Whenever I have to go to some suburban get-together, I'm always looking around at the other parents and wondering who still gets high. I think there's a huge number of people who would love to do so, but just don't have access. They're probably hoping to catch their kids, so they can confiscate it.

How do you like the Crafty? I've gone Arizer for my past two vapes, currently going with the Air. I was contemplating picking up the Crafty, or even the mighty (for the display) for an upgrade. Worth it?
